Tao Xiaowei knelt on the ground with her head lowered and did not dare to raise it.
Above her head is the emperor of Yan State, a short, fat old man who looks very much like her father.
The young man sitting next to her is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who looks very similar to Yan Xi. The eyes of the father and son have been anxiously focused on her since she entered the door.
Someone from the palace summoned her, and the eunuch said that Yan Xi was waiting for her to meet her father in the side hall. Qian Tong and Qian Shuang quickly dressed her up, wearing a light red skirt and a jacket made of snow-white fox fur.
She was wearing a coat and her hair had returned to the girl's hair. After all, she was here to meet the emperor. She and Yan Xi had not yet held their wedding ceremony in the capital, so when they entered the palace, they dressed up like the girl's family, which is considered a dignified and handsome aristocratic lady.
"Raise your head." The emperor ordered. He couldn't wait to see Tao Xiaowei's downcast face. When she came in, her graceful figure had already made the old emperor swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, and she hid it under the dragon case.
His feet were shaking nervously.[
The prince calmly used his peripheral vision to observe his father's expression, and saw that he indeed had a salivating and greedy look. The fists on his knees could not help but be clenched tightly, but there was still a faint gentleness on his face, as if
The veins on the back of his hands were not on his hands at all.
Tao Xiaowei still didn't dare to raise her head. She intuitively felt that the atmosphere around her was too strange. Yan Xi was not there, and Yan Rong was not there. There were only the prince and the emperor. The two big men looked at her with burning eyes. Although they were from the Yan Kingdom
There are two most powerful men in the country, but one is her husband's father and the other is her husband's brother. They talk about being close or distant, and she doesn't know how to face them at all.
If it had been another woman, the emperor would have thrown the tea cup away in anger. Women are always lovable when they are gentle and well-behaved. He is an emperor who does not like to be rejected by women. Women around him must hold their breath.
He listened clearly to every command he gave. The emperor did not like to repeat them.
But today, he made an exception. Not only was he not angry, he also said in an unusually gentle tone, "Your name is Tao Xiaowei, right? The little princess of Qi. Come, raise your head and let me see you."
