In the middle of the day, the square was dazzled by the sun, which was very annoying.

Huanan Xin wore a heavy golden crown on his head and was covered in layers of clothes.

Standing in the square for a long time, he couldn't help sweating and feeling uncomfortable.

He raised his head in annoyance, squinted his eyes to look at the clear sky with the sun hanging high, then swung his dragon sleeves, and turned around to enter the side hall of the Chengtai Hall.

The Eunuch Superintendent followed.

Huanan Xin sat on the couch, took off the golden crown, tore the sloping lapel in a fit of anger, and ordered.

"I'm thirsty. Go and bring me a cup of tea. By the way, call Yunxi in and let her rest for a while."

Huanan Xin knew clearly that at the speed of the honor guards, it would take four hours to travel from the Palace to Luyuan Garden.

According to the convention, when the envoy was greeted, the honor guards would be divided into two teams after the announcement, led by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

The official of Honglu Temple was responsible for sending the team of envoys to stay in the embassy for food, silk supplies, and daily necessities.

The Ritual Minister led another team to directly lead General Yuancang into the Palace to meet the Emperor.

At this moment, in front of the Chengtai Hall of the Palace, Huanan Xin led the Princes, courtiers, and concubines in the imperial harem with a magnificent momentum. Naturally, they were waiting to receive General Yuancang, the envoy of Ying State.

Huanan Xin sipped a few sips of tea and heard the slight footsteps at the gate of the hall.

He raised his eyes and saw the beautiful woman stepping into the hall.

For the grand ceremony today, Gu Yunxi wore a golden tufted gold double-layered silk gauze royal outfit with embroidered peony patterns on the vertical collar and skirt.

On her head, she wore a crown of gold silk and red treasures, with beaded tassels swaying on both sides.

"Your Majesty..."

When meeting the eyes of the Emperor, the woman bowed in blessings, and her soft and shallow voice was gentle and sweet.

"Come here and sit by my side."

Huanan Xin stretched out his arms. Seeing her walking slowly and frowning slightly, he knew that she had been standing for too long.

He felt sorry for her.

As soon as the woman approached, he couldn't wait to pull her and let her sit on the couch.

"I know that you must be tired after standing for a long time, and I specially asked you to come in and sit with me for a while. It's Shi Shu'an's fault to cause trouble and it was delayed for many hours. You have suffered."

The Emperor looked at her slightly tired face, and there was more love in his heart.

Gu Yunxi smiled softly and took out her finger-length sleeve fan to cool the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'll fan you. I'm fine. I'm young, but the elderly courtiers in the square are suffering. It's the end of the summer, and the sun is shining brightly."

"After sending the envoy away in a few days, you should reward them, Your Majesty."

Huanan Xin smiled and nodded.

"Dear, what you said makes sense. Then all officials over forty years old will receive fifty taels of gold each."

"Your Majesty, on their behalf, I thank you for your love."

Gu Yunxi's eyes flashed and she smiled charmingly.

The young Emperor was moved by it, and he stroked the silk-encrusted gold tassels on the side of the imperial crown, looked at the bead on the imperial crown with deep eyes, and suddenly said.

"Yunxi, give birth to a son for me as soon as possible, and I will make you the Empress. I promise you."

For a moment, she was stunned.

Then, for some reason, she remembered the prophecy made by the witch in the western tribes.

This woman looked shy and surprised when she was contemplating, like the dazzling morning dew. There was nothing in her body that was not beautiful.

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Why don't you speak?"

His eyes slipped quietly over the woman's slender neck, her towering breasts, and her soft waist.

Full of affection and strong possessiveness, the man was like a greedy and dangerous viper, constantly approaching her.

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Yunxi retreated to the corner of the bed inch by inch, sweat oozing from her forehead. She was thinking about how to get out of the predicament.

"Come on. Let me see your feet. It will be sore after standing for a long time. I will pinch them for you."

He remembered the madness of that night, and several intercourses were carried out in the dark.

Only when he woke up could he feel that at that time, he didn't even have an impression of what her body was like.

While there were still some hours left for General Yuancang to enter the Palace, he should hurry up and get things done!

He ignored the woman's refusal, grabbed the gorgeous skirt with a big hand, and lifted it up without hesitation.

Fortunately, this dress was the social dress for the celebration, and there were satin underpants under the skirt.

The flames in the Emperor's eyes were even brighter. He quickly slid down to the bed, pushed away the woman's blocking hands, grabbed one of her ankles, and was going to take off her shoes and socks.

An unexpected sound suddenly interrupted his madness.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is talking to Her Grace. You can't enter."

It was Liang Zhen's peculiar high-pitched voice.

"My nephew has always treated me very well, and he doesn't care. The worst case is that I rest by myself while they talk. We won't disturb each other. Just get out of the way!"

"It is my husband's voice!" Gu Yunxi was secretly surprised that the rescuer came just in time.

"What's going on outside?"

Huanan Xin's lust was not satisfied, and he was inevitably angry, turning his head and shouting in a low voice. His voice was cold as frost and snow.

Huanan He's sleeves fluttered. He stepped into the hall and stopped suddenly.

"Your Majesty, are you kneeling?"

The handsome man stared at the Emperor at the woman's feet, pretended to be surprised, and said casually.

Huanan Xin was furious but could not get angry, and he quickly got up and sat on the bed.

"Liang Zhen, take Concubine Yun out."

Huanan Xin stared at his Ninth Uncle. His brows raised. His eyes swirled with anger that could not be dissipated.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness. Pay my respect to you, Your Majesty and Your Grace."

Huanan He sneered to himself. His face still had an expression that didn't care about anything else.

He had been paying attention to Gu Yunxi's actions just now.

Not long after the Emperor entered the side hall, she was also called in. Huanan He suddenly felt bad, so he also went into the hall.

At this moment, Gu Yunxi didn't show a trace of expression on her face, and she passed Huanan He without looking at him as if this tall and handsome man had been like transparent air in front of her eyes.

The Emperor was alert and suspicious. Although her husband's actions were to save her, it was too risky.

Therefore, she also needed to pretend to act!

There were only the uncle and nephew left in the side hall.

The Emperor's cold and aggressive eyes softened slightly, and he shook his head to one side.

"Ninth Uncle, sit down. Someone, come and serve tea."

Huanan He did not refuse. He simply sat down on the armchair and said with a smile on his face.

"The weather was hot, and I drank too much last night. I couldn't stand still after the sun was shining."

"This side hall is very cool, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for your sympathy with me."

Huanan Xin's eyes were light. He took a sip of the tea and said.

"I know that you are used to being at ease, Ninth Uncle. You don't like to be restrained. However, when the envoy of Ying State arrives this time, the Royal Family's relatives and nobles will all participate in the welcoming ceremony. Ninth Uncle, please be patient."

Huanan He smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are too serious. Although I am a relative of the Huanan Family, I am also your courtier. Why should I not do my duty as a courtier?"

Huanan Xin frowned.

"I'm a little worried right now. The welcome ceremony has been delayed now. Although we play rough in this way, if General Yuancang really takes advantage of the topic, Wang Can will have a hard time."

Huanan He's eyes flashed. He put down his teacup and clasped his fists.

"Your Majesty, I hope you will make it clear."

The smile on the handsome face of Emperor was sparse like a cloud.

"Ninth Uncle, if you set off immediately to go to Luyuan Garden to help Xingzhi, I will give you an imperial horse. How about it?"

Huanan He pondered for a moment, his eyelashes fluttering.

Obviously, the Emperor wanted him to deal with the mess that Shi Shu'an made.

The Prince had a higher status than the Ritual Minister. If the scene of contact between the two parties was chaotic and the Ninth Prince showed up again to solve the problem, General Yuancang would vent all his grievances on Huanan He.

His nephew was really good at passing the buck.

Could it be that he found anything? At present, he could not have found it out...

Such speculation only flashed in Huanan He's mind.

Huanan He immediately laughed.

"It doesn't matter if I go. I'm just waiting in the square to have nothing to do. It's better to go. But I always hate the red tape in the Palace."

"I'm afraid that I will offend General Yuancang because of my inappropriate words and deeds."

"Eh!"

Huanan Xin waved his hand, his smile faintly cold.

"Ninth Uncle, you don't need to think about it too much. There is an old saying that a wicked person will be harassed by another of like ilk."

"I believe that if Yuancang is really messing around, only you can stop him."

"Your Majesty, are you implying that I am the one who messes around?"

Seeing the Emperor startled, Huanan He got up with a smile.

"Your Majesty, with your so much trust, how can I not go in person? You sit down for a while, and I'll be right back."
