It was afternoon. Huangfu Ling looked at An Xici in the sedan chair against the light. He didn't know whether it was because the sun was too strong or because her brilliance was too dazzling. It made his eyes feel uncomfortable and sour, but he didn't know.
He was willing to look away, and even looked at her childishly and stubbornly. After a long time, he slowly said, "Are you going to see your father?"
An Xici really wanted to snort. It looked like Huangfuling had just come out of the emperor's place. Could it be that she didn't know that the emperor summoned her?
In fact, she did so and directly lowered the sedan curtain to block Huangfuling's view.
"If the second prince is fine, it is better not to delay my interview. The provincial emperor thinks that I have deliberately delayed the time and punished me for the crime of disrespect, but I cannot afford it." An Xibi said coldly.
Huangfuling narrowed his eyes slightly.
Eunuch Fang was sweating coldly as he followed. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two people, so why did he bump into them? And the second prince, why did he think of getting close to the princess?
Huangfu Ling stood in the front, and the chamberlain carrying the sedan did not dare to let him get out of the way. The situation was indeed a bit of a stalemate.
It wasn't until An Xishu finished speaking that the sedan chair was still not moving forward, so she said, "Eunuch Fang, if I delay my meeting with the Emperor, I'd like you to explain a few words to me."
Eunuch Fang nodded bravely and looked at Huangfuling with some embarrassment. Before he could speak, Huangfuling stepped aside: "Then I won't delay my younger siblings."
After saying that, he strode away.
An Xici didn't think much about this inexplicable episode, because not far ahead was Longyao Palace.
The emperor's health has not been getting better recently, and he has not been to the court much in the morning. The affairs of the court are mostly left to the second prince to handle. Faced with this situation, the courtiers are actually well aware of the emperor's intentions, but in the end the throne will be destroyed.
Who it will fall into is undecided.
The emperor summoned An Xibi in his palace. His body had reached the point where he could hardly even sit up, so he lay in bed all day long.
The curtains outside the dragon bed have been pulled up, and the emperor is leaning on the dragon bed, coughing from time to time. The servants on the side are carefully waiting on him.
An Xici didn't get too close and said from a distance: "I have met the emperor. I wonder what the emperor has ordered when he summons me?"
When the emperor heard her voice, he frowned slightly and looked towards An Xici. He saw that she was standing upright. Even though she was pregnant, she still looked domineering and not weak at all. Such arrogance made her
The emperor couldn't help but think of An Jingcheng.
An Jingcheng's awe-inspiring domineering attitude and his always arrogant attitude have always been the most annoying things to him.
As a minister, how can he be liked by others if he doesn't even know how to grovel?
So no matter how dazzling An Xibi is, the emperor always feels a little uncomfortable when he looks at her, as if he is seeing another An Jingcheng, which makes him feel a little uneasy. Even if he is standing next to her now
The person in front of me is just an ordinary woman.
"Give me a seat." No matter how uncomfortable it is, it would not be very kind to let a pregnant woman, An Xibi, stand all the time.
The chamberlain brought over a cushioned chair, and An Xici sat down as a matter of course, without even saying thanks.
This is disrespectful.
The servants all looked at the Crown Princess with some trepidation, but An Xici turned a deaf ear and looked straight at the Emperor who was leaning on the dragon bed.
