"Meng Shangshu, do you have any objections to my grandfather for not presenting tribute to my father?"
Luo Shunchen leaned lazily on a jade chair on one side, holding the golden bottle with his slender fingers, and the mouth of the cup was slightly tilted.
His eyes were lightly closed, and his long eyelashes raised a small fan-shaped arc shadow, but the indifference he showed so casually made the heart of the man named Meng Shangshu sting.
But for the sake of his future, Meng Yanbin mustered up the courage and faced Luo Shunchen directly, "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, I have no objection. I just asked the general whether he had hunted any tribute for the emperor."
"What does it have to do with you?"
Luo Shunchen's eagle eyes were cold, and even his voice became cold.
When Ji Ruyan saw him getting angry, she did not try to dissuade him. It was better for her to remain silent regarding this court matter.
What's more, with Luo Shunchen here, he will definitely not embarrass his grandfather.
The old general Xu Ziming stood up beside him and bowed his hand to Emperor Xuan, "I am old and failed to hunt the ancient beast, so I can only present this food to the emperor. Please forgive me!"
With that said, he had already taken out the thousand-year-old oranges that Ji Ruyan had prepared for him.
There are not many thousand-year-old oranges, only ten.
But Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment. For the veteran general Xu Ziming to be able to find such high-quality ingredients, it can be said that he was very lucky.
"Old General, I am very happy with the food you presented me. I also asked you to find these thousand-year-old oranges. Gao He, I will reward the old general with a pair of mutton-fat jade Ruyi!"
Emperor Xuan was not stingy and asked Gao He to pick out a pair of mutton-fat jade and reward them as he wished.
"I thank the emperor for the reward!"
Veteran General Xu Ziming saluted again.
Under the courtesy of Emperor Xuan, Meng Yanbin had to swallow it all even if he wanted to find trouble again. He watched the old general Xu Ziming return to his seat without saying a word...
In the afternoon, under the leadership of Emperor Xuan, we set off back to the palace. It was already after the Lantern Festival.
On the carriage, Emperor Xuan glanced at Gao He who was waiting beside him, "Gao He, you went to see them last night, but what did you find?"
"Replying to the emperor, I have never noticed anything strange about them."
Gao He quickly replied.
Emperor Xuan nodded inexplicably, "That's good."
Others may really regard his seventh son as nonsense, but he has never given up his support for him.
Concubine Bing personally begged her to raise this son under the knees of the veteran general of the country.
Originally, a son of the royal family would definitely not send the prince to a courtier's house for foster care or raise him outside the palace. The son of a prodigy would very likely be led astray.
However, General Xu Ziming lived up to Concubine Bing's commission and raised Luo Shunchen very well.
On the surface, he looks like a sick and crippled prince, but behind the scenes, he is a domineering and cruel ghost emperor who is feared by everyone in the world.
If he hadn't been asking him to check up on his son from time to time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that his son would be so outstanding.
Including that Ji Ruyan, it made him feel that his son was discerning.
He actually chose such a bold little girl to be his wife. It’s good that this son will really show his true colors in the future, and people won’t feel that attention is focused on him.
At least, the existence of Ji Ruyan will still prevent him from a lot of trouble.
Sitting on the carriage, Emperor Xuan ate the Five Poison Fruits one bite at a time, his mind racing rapidly.
Gao He stood aside and waited without saying a word.
When Emperor Xuan is thinking about a problem, he will never be happy with others interrupting his train of thought.
