Sheng Hong was immersed in joy, sweetness and happiness. His handsome face seemed to be shining with light. It made everyone's eyes sting.
Yue Shangshu, who was completely ignored, continued to try hard to stop: "... Your Highness should hurry up and send someone to Xie's house to deliver the letter. Please ask Miss Xie not to act impulsively and make everyone laugh."
Ridicule?
These two words struck Sheng Hong's ears.
Sheng Hong's smile faded and he glanced over lightly: "My prince's hearing is not very good, so I couldn't hear clearly what Yue Shangshu said for a moment. Please ask Yue Shangshu to say one more thing, I am all ears!"
When Sheng Hong pretended to be the "Sixth Princess", she had a gloomy temperament, cold and few words. After regaining her status as a prince three years ago, her cheerful and easy-going nature gradually emerged. When she was in Songzhu Academy, she was loved by all her classmates. In the court, she listened to the political affairs.
During the year, he only listened but did not speak, leaving a good impression on the ministers as being humble, restrained and low-key.
For this reason, Yue Shangshu didn't pay much attention to Sheng Hong.
Until now!
There was no smile on Sheng Hong's face, his eyes were cold and threatening, and the invisible threat made people unable to hold their heads up.
Only then did Yue Shangshu realize that his words just now seemed not very cautious and offended Sheng Hong, the seventh prince!
Regardless of whether he is favored or not, Sheng Hong is a serious prince and will definitely become the king of the Qi vassal in the future. As the Minister of Rites, no matter how contemptuous he is in his heart, he must be respectful and respectful on his face.
"Old minister, I am imprudent and my words are inappropriate. I sincerely ask for your forgiveness, Your Highness."
Yue Shangshu was also a cunning old fox. Seeing that Sheng Hong was about to fall out, his attitude immediately softened: "It's just that what the old minister just said was sincere and was also for the sake of the reputation of His Highness the Seventh Prince and Miss Xie San..."
Sheng Hong interrupted Yue Shangshu calmly: "That's not necessary. Neither Mingxi nor I care about our reputation."
Yue Shangshu: "..."
Yue Shangshu was choked and became speechless. His old face was so hot that he was too embarrassed to say anything anymore.
…
Sheng Hong's eyes passed over the faces of Princess Changping and all the princes, and finally fell on the face of the fourth prince, who looked not very beautiful: "Brother Four Emperors, Mingxi did not hesitate to gain fame and took the initiative to come to worship with me. In my heart,
Very happy."
Fourth Prince: "..."
What did Sheng Hong mean when he suddenly said these words to him?
Could it be that Sheng Hong had already guessed that today's assassination was under his orders?
Haha! So what if you just guessed it?
The assassins who took action today were all soldiers he secretly raised to die. His identity could not be traced at all. Even if the entire Punishment Department launched a thorough investigation, they could not find him.
Those three masters who are good at hiding traces, archery and assassination spent a lot of money and effort on training.
I thought I could kill Sheng Hong in one fell swoop today, but I didn't expect that Sheng Hong had been on guard and reacted quickly, and he was only slightly injured. He killed three masters in vain...
The Fourth Prince thought calmly and said calmly: "The Seventh Emperor is willing to be injured for Miss Xie San to go to the wedding, and Miss Xie is also willing to sacrifice her reputation for the safety of the Seventh Emperor and take the initiative to come. This matter was spread to the father.
It is also a good story in the ears of Queen Mother."
Sheng Hong twitched the corners of his lips and laughed: "Brother Four Emperors, these words have reached my heart."
"The imperial sister and all the royal brothers are here today, and they can see everything."
"Mingxi took pity that I was injured and couldn't ride around on horseback, so she took the initiative to come to visit me and pay homage to me."
"When I enter the palace to serve tea tomorrow, if my father, the emperor, my mother and my empress blame me, I would like to ask the imperial sister and several imperial brothers to intercede for Mingxi and me. We also restrain the servants in the palace from gossiping behind our backs. I am here, first of all
Thank you, my dear sister, and my brothers!"
After saying that, Sheng Hong looked serious, raised his hands and saluted.
Princess Changping and the princes: "..."
This Sheng Hong was really willing to lose face for Xie Mingxi!
Before the princes could say anything, Princess Changping had already opened her mouth and said, "Okay!"
Women are always more emotional and easier to be impressed than men. Princess Changping was shocked by the actions of Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi one after another today, and she agreed without thinking.
The taciturn second prince nodded.
In the past two years, Sheng Hong and the third prince moved around frequently, and clearly showed their support. The third prince had to give him this face, and he agreed with a smile.
The fifth prince also deserves to be crisp and clear.
The fourth prince did not expect Sheng Hong to suddenly make such a move. He was angry in his heart, but he had to act like an elder brother on his face: "There is no need to be so cautious about some small things, we should all take action."
Sheng Hong immediately said: "Brother Four Emperors has agreed. If anyone gossips about Xi's fault in the future, I will go to Brother Four Emperors."
Fourth Prince: "..."
There are still such shameless people in the world!
When Sheng Hong said this in public, not only could he not order people to spread the rumors privately, he also had to go around to clear the air for Xie Mingxi...
The fourth prince's blood surged, and a hint of angry dark red flashed across his handsome face.
Yue Shangshu on the side saw this with fear, fearing that the fourth prince would fall out on the spot, he hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over: "Since the worship ceremony is going to be held, I will order people to prepare it right away."
Princess Changping also said: "Seventh Emperor brother, you don't have to go to welcome the bride in person, just stay and rest for a while. After Mr. Xie comes in, you can do the ceremony again."
Sheng Hong's eyes flashed and he responded with a smile.
…
At this moment, Eunuch Lu came with two more imperial doctors.
Before Eunuch Lu opened his mouth to pronounce the emperor's decree, Princess Changping said calmly: "Eunuch Lu, don't say anything. Miss Xie San has come to the prince's palace in a sedan chair to pay homage. No matter what the father's decree is, she will give it up."
Eunuch Lu: "..."
Eunuch Lu is worthy of being the chief chamberlain who has served Emperor Jianwen for decades. He reacted almost immediately and said with a smile: "In this case, the servants gathered together once and stayed to watch the ceremony together. After returning to the palace, the emperor and the empress
If you ask me, I can reply with a few words."
What a well-informed and knowledgeable Eunuch Lu!
Princess Changping smiled lightly.
Sheng Hong also relaxed his brows and smiled at Eunuch Lu: "Thank you, Eunuch Lu."
Before Sheng Hong could give instructions, the clever Eunuch Wei had already stepped forward with a smile, held Eunuch Lu's arm, and said with a low smile: "Today is a happy day for His Highness. Eunuch-in-law also stayed here to drink some water and wine to feel happy."
.”
Eunuch Wei has already recognized Eunuch Lu as his adoptive father, and the relationship is so close that no further words are needed.
However, in front of everyone, you just can't say "godfather" out loud.
The princes saw this in their eyes and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Sheng Hong, the spy sent by Emperor Jianwen, openly took him as his confidant. Now, Eunuch Wei has really become a great helper to Sheng Hong. Not to mention anything else, just the relationship between Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Lu, Eunuch Lu.
In front of Emperor Jianwen, it was rare to say something nice for Sheng Hong.
I remember how many times they secretly made fun of Sheng Hong in private. Now it seems that Sheng Hong is not only stupid, but also very evil!
An hour later, the Xie family's sedan chair arrived outside the seventh prince's residence.
