Chapter 29 Dissolution of the engagement(1/2)
Everyone looked different.
Your Highness Li Wang is...
Rong Xiu had already looked at Emperor Jiawen and bowed:
"My son is late, please forgive me for your sins."
After saying that, I couldn't help but cough twice, and it looked like I had been sick for a long time.
Emperor Jiawen shook his head, as if he was a little disagreeing:
"You have been weak since you were a child. Now that you have just returned to the imperial capital, just raise it well, why bother to hold on?"
Rong Xiu smiled and looked at Rong Jin.
"As a minister, how can I not come to my brother's birthday party?"
Rong Jin sneered in his heart, but smiled on his face.
"Seventh brother is so polite! Today is just a birthday. If this affects your body, I am wrong. Sit down!"
Rong Xiu followed the good deeds and sat down next to the third prince Rong Jiu.
Then, he took off the cloak on his body and coughed a few more times.
It seemed that this trouble had already made him feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone looked at each other.
This Li King really looks bad.
Some noble girls showed disappointment.
No matter how good you look, you have such a weak body, but you really have no future.
What a pity that this face and that charming temperament...
Rong Xiu didn't seem to care about those things. After sitting down, he greeted the people around him and became quiet.
He looks like a gentle and gentleman.
Rong Zhen had no impression of this seventh brother, but when he saw him handing him to Chu Liuyue's handkerchief, he immediately became disgusted with him.
She sneered, her eyes turning back and forth on Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue.
"The seventh brother seems to take great care of Miss Chu. Have you known each other long ago?"
Rong Xiu smiled faintly.
"I have only been back to the Emperor for less than a month. Today is my first time going out. How can I get to know others?"
Rong Zhen was skeptical:
"Then why are you helping her like this?"
Rong Xiu paused for a moment and his smile slightly lowered.
"I just think that today is a birthday party for my brother, and it's really bad to see blood. What's more, I came late, and I don't know what happened before, but this is the case here?"
He poured himself a cup of tea and asked casually:
"If I remember correctly, Miss Chu... seems to have a engagement? I don't know who dared to treat the future princess like this at the prince's birthday party?"
Rong Zhen choked.
Rong Jin's face became much ugly in an instant.
Wouldn’t this accusing him of letting others bully Chu Liuyue?!
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the queen immediately said warmly:
"The King of Li misunderstood. Rong Zhen felt that he had fallen out of the past when he saw her, so he planned to give her the golden python. He was just taming the golden python."
Rong Xiu seemed a little surprised:
"Tasting the Golden Python? Isn't Miss Chu born with a natural defect in the original vein and unable to practice? Then how can she tame the Golden Python?"
He asked this question in a seemingly confusing manner, which immediately made the queen and others extremely embarrassed.
Rong Jin frowned, feeling that Rong Xiu was deliberately trying to prevent him from coming to Taiwan.
But seeing his expression stunned, it seemed that he had just asked this question subconsciously.
Besides, Rong Xiu should not know about the hunting ground.
For a moment, Rong Jin couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he didn't talk.
Rong Zhen couldn't help but argue:
"It was clearly because she made a mistake first and sold the land deed of the prince's hunting ground to others! Such behavior is an excessive amount!"
Rong Xiu was silent for a moment, rubbed the teacup and asked:
"Since it is the prince's land deed, how can she sell it?"
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Of course everyone knows that the land deed is Chu Liuyue's name, but if she has a little brain, she should know that the hunting ground is something the prince attaches great importance to!
She sold it, but she cheated the prince!
The prince was furious. It was clear that he wanted to deal with her today. Otherwise, how could a useless Chu family be qualified to come for such a palace banquet?
Everyone knew this, and even the emperor and the empress agreed.
But when someone with the identity of King Li openly says it, the prince's appearance is particularly ugly.
Chu Liuyue used the white handkerchief to slowly wipe off the blood from her hands and bent the corners of her lips.
Since he was willing to help her, she would not miss this opportunity.
"Your Highness Li, you don't know anything. Although this land deed is my name, the prince and I have not yet been officially engaged, so I sold the land deed. It is indeed my fault. However, the fourth princess had agreed before that as long as I tame the golden python, this matter would be written off. Fourth princess, right?"
Rong Zhen widened his eyes:
"When did this princess say this? Don't be slanderous!"
Chu Liuyue looked at Emperor Jiawen in confusion:
"Your Majesty, isn't that what you mean?"
Emperor Jiawen didn't expect Chu Liuyue to ask so directly, and he was immediately embarrassed.
He coughed and waved.
"It's just a hunting ground. Since Liu Yue has tamed the golden python as agreed, then it's all right! Zhenzhen, you are not allowed to mention it again in the future!"
This is not only a warning to Rong Zhen, but also a warning to everyone present.
Rong Zhen was angry, but seeing that Emperor Jiawen looked serious, he had to respond reluctantly.
"yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Liuyue didn't plan to just forget it. She sighed lightly, and her face showed a look of tolerance.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yue knows that this was your personal gift back then, so he naturally takes it very seriously. If he had not been forced into a dead end, Liu Yue would never have sold this deed."
Emperor Jiawen was stunned:
"What, what else is there?"
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath:
"Your Majesty doesn't know. Because I was born with a broken vein, and my father was seriously injured in the early years, we didn't have a good life. In desperation, we had to sell the land deed and raise some money to survive..."
"Chu Liuyue! What are you talking nonsense!"
When the elder heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted angrily.
Is she trying to implicate the entire Chu family?
Emperor Jiawen glanced at the elder unhappily.
"Let her say it!"
The elder was furious, but he didn't dare to interrupt.
"Once upon a time, my father and I also asked the prince for help, but...even the prince's people couldn't see him. I had wanted to discuss with the prince before selling the land deed, but I was turned away. So..."
Rong Jin's face turned blue when he heard this.
This Chu Liuyue is really good at making up!
"Liu Yue's move is really helpless, so please let Your Majesty know."
Chu Liuyue's words were half true and half false, but the others in the hall were inclined to believe them.
Almost everyone in the imperial capital knows what life did Chu Liuyue and his daughter live.
And it is even more possible that the prince she said would keep her out.
The prince was extremely disgusted with her. Isn’t it normal to do this?
