Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 377 When the city gate catches fire, the innocent bystanders suffer.
Feng Wuyou's wounds were already soaked with sweat.
Before he could speak, the queen at the head of the table casually spoke up.
"Hehe, Wuyou will naturally participate. Wuyou is the only legitimate prince of Fenglin."
His Majesty has already spoken, how could he possibly fall behind? Wuyou is the most obedient, wouldn't you agree?
Feng Wuyou clutched the blood-soaked bandage in her sleeve, her fingertips white with cold sweat.
“Father… Lord?” His throat tightened, his voice sounding as if it had been sanded.
The whispers and murmurs of the male members of the household inside the hall.
"This fifth prince has always been obedient and filial. Hehe, we can also see the fifth prince's demeanor on horseback."
"Hehe, yes, the Fifth Prince is getting on in years now. I wonder which family will be fortunate enough to become his consort!"
"........."
Feng Wuyou pretended not to hear what the others were saying.
He slowly turned his head to look at his father, only to see Shangguan Shuofeng leisurely stroking a teacup with his nail guards.
The fine lines around his eyes were tinged with coldness, as if he were talking about the most ordinary thing.
But Feng Wuyou's disbelief was like a venomous snake coiling around his heart.
What more could he possibly want? In his father's eyes, he would always be an enemy.
Each disappointment and beating was a testament to his father's disgust and hatred towards him.
Why should he keep deceiving himself?
Feng Wuyou suddenly laughed, the laughter sounding like shards of broken porcelain squeezed from the deepest part of her chest.
When he straightened his back, it aggravated his wound, and a blinding red flashed before his eyes, yet he bowed deeply to the person in charge.
A numb expression crept into his eyes, like a layer of frost that never melts.
"Your subject...will obey Your Majesty's decree."
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Shuofeng scrutinized Feng Wuyou for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief, his expression casual and composed.
"It's lively outside now, you should go too!"
Feng Wuyou nodded calmly, "Yes, Father!"
He then turned and walked out of the tent, leaving the atmosphere inside the tent quiet.
Murong Che narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had seen something that made him so easily let Shangguan Shuofeng go.
"Hehe, it's the same if you don't have a daughter, but your son is outstanding."
"Your Majesty's one son is worth more than many of your daughters."
The other noblemen all wore somewhat strange expressions.
"Children are all the same. As long as a royal heir is of good character, even if he is mediocre, he can still enjoy a life of honor and wealth."
If someone is of bad character and harbors rebellious intentions, then they are a thief.
"Your Highness, don't you agree?"
Shangguan Shuofeng looked at Murong Che with a provocative gaze, a slight smile curving his lips.
Hmph, Murong Che, Murong Che, you no longer have a favored daughter!
Just like other noblemen without heirs, how dare they be so arrogant!
Murong Che's expression changed, his knuckles turned white, and he gripped the corner of the table tightly.
Her slender fingernails left marks on the table.
A suppressed roar of anger rolled in Murong Che's throat, finally turning into a broken "You...".
His chest heaved violently, stretching his clothes tightly; the veins on his forehead throbbed with his rapid breathing; and his eyes were so bloodshot they seemed about to bleed.
His eyes were burning with two raging flames, but they dimmed instantly when they met the mocking sneer behind him.
A fleeting glint of scheming and malice flashed in his eyes, and the broken syllables that were about to escape his throat suddenly froze.
He lowered his eyes to hide the dark glint in them, and when he looked up again, his reddened eyes were glistening with tears.
A strange, aggrieved smile curved her lips, her chest still trembling slightly, but she managed to suppress it.
Trying to calm himself down, he gave a light scoff.
"Hehe, what the Queen says is true. Brothers, those of you with daughters should pay more attention!"
After all, the Queen has no daughters, yet she is so worried about this; we fathers cannot let our guard down!
Even if he didn't have the chance to become the emperor's consort, he still had the opportunity to leave the palace and enjoy his retirement.
Her Highness the Empress is different, after all, she will spend her whole life in the harem.
But I must thank Your Majesty for your guidance!
No matter what, she is a person with a princess, and she always has the opportunity to rise to a high position.
Even if he couldn't, he was still a prince. As the father of a prince, he could accompany his daughter to her fiefdom after the Empress's death.
But the Queen only has one son, and they will wait for the fifth prince to get married!
He could only stay in the harem, and when the next empress ascended the throne, he would be like an ordinary nobleman, spending his life in a lonely side hall of the harem.
Circumstances and status are not comparable!
Murong Che's words sent a shiver down the spines of the other nobles.
They certainly knew, but being told it out in public by the Imperial Nobleman still sent chills down their spines.
You two are fighting, don't drag us into it!
That's right, their prince is still a minor, so anything is possible.
The Queen is still the ruler of the harem, and her power is still above theirs!
What should be done if this happens to those of them who have daughters in the future?
The fire at the city gate affected everyone in the pond!
The officials' families were drenched in cold sweat; how could outsiders like them listen to this?
Shangguan Shuofeng could no longer control his expression, and he gripped the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand tightly.
His face was extremely ugly, and he said coldly, "Hmph, how can the Imperial Noble Consort spout nonsense before even having drunk any wine!"
Your Majesty is in the prime of your life; I never imagined that my younger brother would have thought so far ahead!
You've been so considerate of your brothers, but have you taken His Majesty into account?
I know I have not been able to bear Your Majesty a legitimate daughter, no matter what the future holds.
My sole purpose is to serve Your Majesty.
And has Your Highness forgotten that you no longer have a princess?
Their future situation will be like mine, oh... I'm afraid it will be even worse than mine.
No matter what, he is still the Empress, and even when a new emperor ascends the throne, he must be respectfully addressed as the Emperor's Husband!
And Murong Che will always be ranked below him!
Murong Che angrily flicked his sleeve, knocking over the coffee table and soaking his clothes with tea.
He couldn't help but frown, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense!
"Shangguan Shuofeng, you...!" But then he calmed down when he thought of his daughter.
His daughter is currently preparing for the wedding, and he can't afford any mistakes on his end!
That old man, Shangguan Shuofeng, actually dared to mock him.
Once his daughter's matter is settled, he will definitely trample Shangguan Shuofeng under his feet!
He angrily flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "My clothes are dirty, so I won't stay here with you all!"
I'll take my leave now!
He laughed and left without looking back. Shangguan Shuofeng saw Murong Che stride away.
Convinced that this meant Murong Che was admitting defeat, he couldn't help but feel smug and pleased.
His expression softened, and the prayer beads in his hand spun faster.
She turned to look at everyone, and resumed her dignified and graceful demeanor as a queen.
He said in a gentle voice, "The hunt seems to be about to begin!"
I've already changed my clothes, so please don't sit here anymore.
The scenery at Mount Li is wonderful; why don't you all take a stroll and relax?
Then, with Granny Jin's help, she prepared to leave! The other nobles and their families also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness... thank goodness... at least they don't have to stay in this oppressive atmosphere anymore!
Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face as he bowed and replied, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"
