Chapter 47: Reprimand
Hearing the arrogant words of the second prince, all the guests present changed their faces, the timid ones could barely hold the wine glass in their hands, and the bolder ones secretly looked at the emperor's expression.
Xiao Yanlin behaved very calmly, and only instructed the subordinates on the side: "Go and invite the second prince in, tell him that His Majesty is present, and don't talk nonsense." ”
The subordinate was about to go out, but the emperor shouted: "Don't tell him that I'm coming, I want to see how arrogant he is!" ”
The subordinate was trembling with fright, and hurriedly went out to lead the people.
But said that the second prince was here, after Gu Ruan Ruan came in, the porter was concerned about her identity, so he also informed Xiao Ruoyun, and as soon as they entered the front yard, Xiao Ruoyun hurried over.
Gu Ruan Ruan saw Xiao Ruoyun coming, and turned his face away with some disgust, covering it with a handkerchief, "Brother Ruoyun, why didn't you come to the door to pick me up just now, let me come in by myself......
She thought that she could get Xiao Ruoyun's pity, but she saw Xiao Ruoyun with a dark face, walked up to her in three or two steps, and did not apologize, but frowned.
He saluted the second prince, his attitude was not very eager, his expression was very detached, and then he turned his gaze to Gu Ruanruan: "The hour has not yet come, you shouldn't follow the second prince to come in advance!" ”
The little guy next to Xiao Ruoyun had already told him about the emperor's dissatisfaction, and he was afraid that Gu Ruan Ruan would be implicated, so he reached out to pull her, just thinking about taking people away quickly.
Gu Ruan Ruan looked at his reluctance, and felt that he said in a very stern tone, and suddenly became unhappy.
"What do you mean by Brother Ruoyun? I got married with my sister today, and I was pointed at because I was a concubine, and finally the second prince was willing to support me and send me over in person, Brother Ruoyun, why are you still like this! ”
Xiao Ruoyun never felt that it would be so difficult to talk to her, and it just so happened that at this time, the people in the palace came in tremblingly to report and say that they invited the second prince in, but they didn't mention the emperor in their words.
Xiao Ruoyun had already guessed something, and reached out to pull Gu Ruan Ruan: "Follow me to the backyard." ”
Gu Ruan Ruan was pulled abruptly: "Brother Ruoyun, what are you doing!" Although I am a concubine, but I have the second prince as a guarantee, how can I give him a cup of wedding tea in front of everyone, so that he will not be looked down upon in the future......"
Xiao Ruoyun's patience was all exhausted at this moment, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but increase: "Follow me!" ”
He didn't have time to explain, so he dragged people to leave, and the second prince sneered when he saw this, and said to Gu Ruanruan: "You see, this king wanted to take you to a long face in front of the guests, but your husband didn't appreciate it, don't blame this king for not helping you." ”
Gu Ruan Ruan had already walked away, her water-red dress was dragged into shape, tears were hanging in her eyes, and she wanted to say something, but she was startled by Xiao Ruoyun's look.
She had never seen Xiao Ruoyun like this, and she was so frightened that she stopped talking for a while, and stumbled and followed Xiao Ruoyun to the backyard.
But he said that the second prince was here, and he followed the little maid to the front yard arrogantly, and he didn't care much when he met a few people who looked hurried and had very frightened expressions on the way.
Until he went to the banquet hall, there was silence in the hall, and he was thinking that these people were also quite interesting, and finally knew that his distinguished guest had arrived, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise.
However, when he triumphantly walked to the table of the distinguished guest in front of him, he suddenly saw the emperor in a dragon robe, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"Father, Father! Father, why are you here? ”
The emperor glanced at him with a cold face, this glance made the second prince feel cold in his heart, his eyes were full of the aftermath of the Son of Heaven, and he thought of his wild words just now, and the second prince regretted it in his heart at this time!
Xiao Yan is on the verge of harming him!
Don't even tell him that the emperor is here!
Just now, he was acting as a prestige outside, and he was regularly told to his father by this group of villains!
Thinking of this, the second prince looked at Xiao Yanlin with hatred, but Xiao Yanlin looked cold, and arched his hand towards him: "I'm sorry Second Prince, I was drinking with Your Majesty just now, and I can't spare my hand to personally greet the second prince's distinguished guest." ”
The second prince only felt a hot pain on his face, and only felt that everyone's eyes were looking at him, as if they were all looking at his jokes!
At this moment, the emperor who was sitting in his seat suddenly spoke: "Forgot the rules? Don't you know how to salute when you see me? ”
When the second prince heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "My father is angry, but my son really doesn't know that my father is there." ”
"I didn't know that I was there, so I dared to speak wildly at the wedding banquet of the Marquis of Zhenbei?!"
The second prince couldn't argue, so he could only beg for mercy even again, which was extremely embarrassing.
He was ruthlessly disgraced this time, at this time the guests were all sitting in the seats, and I don't know if they were instructed to do so, no one saluted him at all, and now, everyone sat peacefully, only he, the prince of the dynasty, knelt humbly, or in full view!
When did he suffer such humiliation?!
However, the person who lowered his face was the emperor, and he dared not speak out.
In this way, after being reprimanded in front of everyone, the emperor gave up and let him sit down.
The emperor changed his gentle tone and said to Xiao Yanlin: "Aiqing, let you see a smile." ”
Xiao Yanlin shook his head: "Yes, the minister didn't arrange it in advance." ”
The two of them continued to drink as if nothing had happened, and when everyone saw this, they all agreed, and the atmosphere became lively again.
There was only one person who was very unhappy in his heart.
The second prince was in a cold sweat, and after sitting down, he felt resentful, his father didn't give him face like this!
Zhou Guifei on the side saw all this in her eyes, and couldn't help but hide her lips and sneer.
The emperor's actions seem to be a reprimand, but in fact they are just shows.
He, who is the father of the emperor, has reprimanded his son like this, Xiao Yan can no longer embarrass the second prince, and he will not hold grudges, the emperor scolded fiercely, but in fact, he calmed down today's farce for the second prince.
However, the second prince himself does not appreciate it!
