Chapter 573 World 6: The Weak and Helpless Crown Princess (13)
"Crown Princess? Are you so ignorant of the rules?"
Emperor Sheng Jin frowned, and his face suddenly became gloomy. He looked intimidating without even being angry, and the aura around him was so suffocating that people could not breathe.
When the prince heard this, he knew something bad was going to happen, so he immediately knelt down.
"I am guilty. The Crown Princess is my wife. If she doesn't know the rules, it means I don't know the rules. I beg you to punish me."
By saying this, the prince was reminding the emperor that they were one as husband and wife.
He hoped that Sheng Jin would spare the Crown Princess and not punish her because he loved him so much.
In fact, the prince was also nervous. His father had been in a low mood during the morning court today and looked like he was angry.
After a moment's thought, he realized that his father was angry with him because he had dismissed his concubines yesterday.
Unexpectedly, right after the court session, his father took him to Fengyi Palace. It seemed that—
The emperor was mad at the Crown Princess, and maybe even angrier at the Crown Princess than at him!
I don’t know if my father will forgive the Crown Princess this time. He was too careless yesterday and caused a lot of trouble for his own Crown Princess!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was filled with self-blame and guilt, and even wished he could go back in time and take the initiative to apologize to his father.
Instead of waiting until now, causing the Crown Princess to be scolded by her father.
However, the prince still underestimated his position in the emperor's heart.
As expected, Sheng Jin hesitated.
He glared at his son with some disappointment, secretly annoyed that he was too lovesick!
Is the Crown Princess really that good?
Is it worth it for the Crown Prince to offend himself and make excuses for the Crown Princess?
He had been feeling angry since last night, thinking that the Crown Princess was ignorant.
Which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines, and his son is the prince!
The Crown Princess is so jealous and unworthy of the gentle and kind Crown Prince!
Now that the Queen had made such a complaint, he became even angrier.
How can such a princess be worthy of the prince, and how can she sit on the position of queen mother in the future?
But I do need to think more about the Crown Prince and not let any rumors get out today.
Let’s clear the area.
Thinking of this, Sheng Jin gave the order in a deep voice.
"Alright, family disgrace should not be made public. Everyone, please leave. The Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess remain."
With the emperor's words, the concubines had no choice but to retreat even if they were reluctant.
In fact, many concubines secretly had a crush on the emperor.
After all, as an emperor, he governs the country, balances the court, and plays power games, but he is always dedicated to the people. He is simply a god in everyone's heart.
Moreover, he is not interested in women, although it is because of a strange disease, but a man who keeps himself clean is really lovable.
Therefore, almost all concubines were willing to stay in the palace. How could it not be good to be closer to the people they loved?
Sheng Jin didn't know that his concubine could be so infatuated, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be moved.
He is like a natural emperor, his mind is full of power and emotions are not worth mentioning to him.
After everyone had left, the emperor walked past the two people kneeling on the ground and went straight to the high seat.
The Queen followed closely behind him and sat beside him on her phoenix throne.
"Crown Princess, do you know your mistake?"
Liu Lingxi felt extremely panicked when she heard the emperor scolding her.
But what happened just now could only be her counterattack. Every concubine has had a verbal fight. This doesn't mean that she is disrespectful to her stepmother.
But with the Queen complaining, it was useless for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to plead for mercy, and the Emperor was obviously angry.
In this case, I can only accept it.
Liu Lingxi bit her lip, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and bowed down with her head lowered to the ground.
"I know I was wrong, and I beg you to punish me."
The soft and sticky crying tone mixed with a hint of grievance is simply the best way to cool down the anger of the listener, instantly reducing the heat in the heart of the listener.
It is like a burst of nectar, which makes thirsty people walking in the desert cherish it even more and be reluctant to waste a drop.
The emperor was this drought-stricken person, who was nourished by a hint of nectar and felt refreshed all over.
Sheng Jin originally wanted to depose her from her position as Crown Princess, or select another noble lady to suppress her.
Now that I have heard her begging for mercy, I am no longer angry and even want to forgive her directly.
What an oddity!
The emperor tried hard to suppress the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind and continued to ask.
"What happened just now, and why did you disrespect your stepmother?"
Somehow... he wanted to continue hearing her voice.
Liu Lingxi didn't know that the emperor was no longer angry.
She was so scared that she buried her head on the ground and dared not look up.
Because the prince was worried about her, he did not notice that his father was acting strangely, and thus missed the flash of interest in the emperor's eyes.
Only the Queen, only the Queen sitting next to the Emperor saw it!
The queen felt a sinking feeling in her heart, as if a stone was pressing on her chest, and she suddenly couldn't breathe.
Her hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened and could no longer relax.
No, the Emperor wouldn't like the Crown Princess.
She understood the emperor. He had no love in his heart. Now he just understood the truth of the matter.
Moreover, the emperor is a wise ruler. He certainly does not want to wrongly accuse the Crown Princess so as to avoid alienation between him and the Crown Prince.
Yes, and the prince.
Now, with my intervention, the emperor has changed. He dotes on the prince so much that he will definitely not do anything wrong on impulse!
After comforting herself like this, the queen finally put her worries to rest.
But she was obviously too relieved too early.
Because the Crown Princess looked up—
She saw the emperor's pupils suddenly shrink, his whole body tensed up, and his eyes were fixed on the Crown Princess!
It's like a hunter staring at his prey, the excitement and joy I feel are something I have never experienced before.
Finished!
The thing she was most worried about finally happened!
Liu Lingxi didn't know the queen's worries, she just wanted to kneel more respectfully to make herself appear more dignified.
She did not dare to look up at the emperor, for fear of adding another crime of looking directly into his face.
Liu Lingxi just lowered her eyes and tried to tell the whole story of what had just happened.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I did get up a little late today, but I managed to arrive at Fengyi Palace at noon to pay my respects to my mother. However, Concubine Liang said that I..."
Sheng Jin didn't listen to the rest of the words. Instead, he looked at her red lips opening and closing, and felt an unprecedented impulse.
He wanted to kiss her!
I want to kiss her until she is speechless and can only cry and act coquettishly in my arms.
I want to do something with her that a man and a woman should do, and let her bloom under me...
But the words just now still lingered in his ears, even echoing.
"I got up a little late today."
Why is it late?
Yes!
She is the Crown Princess, so of course only the Crown Prince can make her get up late!
Prince, yes, Prince!
Sheng Jin felt as if a hole had been chiseled in his heart, and a seed was slowly sprouting and about to bloom.
Suddenly a stream of boiling water poured in, scalding the newly sprouted seeds to death!
