"The Emperor is here!"
"The Empress is here!"
Just as Song Wenqing arrived, the eunuch's announcement sounded again.
This time, the princesses put their thoughts aside and knelt on the ground respectfully to welcome the emperor and queen.
Ji Caiyan also greeted Song Wenqing together.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."
"Your Majesty is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Everyone shouted.
The already old emperor took the queen and sat in the middle seat.
The old emperor's eyes first fell on Ji Caiyan and Song Wenqing, and then he spoke, "Get up!"
After everyone thanked them, they returned to their seats.
"Why did Mr. Song come to the Royal Garden today?"
The corners of the old emperor's mouth twitched slightly.
Lao Liu, Lao Liu, do you know that your cabbage is about to be taken away in basins? There is no sense of crisis at all, and now Lao Liu is probably having fun with his wife!
What a prodigal!
"Back to the Holy Land, I heard that the peony banquet in the Royal Garden was in good bloom, so I came over to pay my respects."
"I like this flower the most."
Song Wenqing responded generously, and when he said the last sentence, his eyes fell on Ji Caiyan's face.
There is no covering up at all.
Upright.
Anyone present could tell who Song Wenqing was referring to by his favorite flower.
quiet--
Ji Leqin's teeth were almost broken. She looked at Ji Caiyan bitterly and pressed her hand tightly on her lame leg.
Why? Why could Ji Caiyan be favored by the No. [-] Scholar? And she became disabled because Ji Caiyan broke her leg, and because her father refused to treat her leg properly in order to gain the love of the old prime minister.
Everything started because of Ji Caiyan, but Ji Caiyan lived so freely.
Ji Caiyan noticed Ji Leqin's gaze and just raised the corners of his mouth slightly towards her.
Ji Caiyan had already experienced Song Wenqing's "arrogant words".
I'm used to it, I'm used to it.
To be honest, Song Wenqing is so handsome and has good literary talent. When Ji Caiyan talks to Song Wenqing on weekdays, he will talk even more arrogantly.
"It's a pity that you can't see the imperial edict in the No. [-] Scholar's Mansion."
"Today I just issued an imperial edict to make you the prime minister. The imperial edict has already arrived at Zhuangyuanlang's residence."
The old emperor felt that his teeth were a little sore.
These days, do young people express their love so openly?
Also, didn’t he live in a feudal and superstitious dynasty? Why did he, a modern man, feel sour after hearing this?
Comrades of his time wrote letters to confess their love.
This young man is so bold, with so many people watching! Not blushing at all! As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, everyone was shocked by the words that Zhuangyuan Lang said he liked this flower, but now they were shocked by the emperor's words.
The position of Prime Minister!
Song Wenqing became prime minister! The youngest prime minister in history! Everyone looked at the number one scholar who had won three yuan in a row in astonishment. He once impressed the capital with his talents and appearance, but now he may have shocked the entire capital with his strength.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Song Wenqing showed his gratitude without being humble or overbearing, and his demeanor was extraordinary.
The old emperor waved his hand and exempted Song Wenqing from the courtesy.
Song Wenqing sat next to Ji Caiyan again. Seeing that Ji Caiyan's teacup was empty, he personally picked up the kettle held by the eunuch beside him.
Pour Ji Caiyan a cup of hot tea.
Because it was too hot, he blew it gently on Ji Caiyan.
The cool image filter of the Number One Scholar was shattered all over the floor.
Song Wenqing's movements were natural, as he had done in the past in Huai Chai Village.
But it broke the understanding of the princesses.
Their identity is the princess, but the number one scholar is now the prime minister, how can there be any reason for the prime minister to serve the princess!
Many people were jealous.
Ji Caiyan was very calm. When she took the cup, her hand inevitably touched Song Wenqing's fingers.
Song Wenqing's deep eyes flickered slightly, and her fingers stayed in the air for a took a long time before he took his hand back, shrank it in his sleeve, and rubbed it slightly.
"The second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom has arrived!"
Another shout.
When Ji Caiyan heard the name of the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom, he quickly stretched his head and looked outside.
Song Wenqing on the side blocked his view.
Ji Caiyan even reached out and pulled Song Wenqing, just to get a clear look at the appearance of the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom.
If not for anything else, Ji Caiyan just wanted to find out what the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom looked like! Back then, the second prince of the Jinxiu Kingdom conspired with her eldest uncle to slander her that she had an affair with him, and planned to get married, but failed to give up halfway.
I heard from my father that the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom is the most beautiful man in Jinxiu Kingdom.
I heard Master Shang Li say that the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom is a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms.
Ji Caiyan was really curious about the virtues of the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom.
He didn't notice at all that after Song Wenqing was pulled away by him, the smile on his face became softer.
The big hand with clear joints pinched the greenest orange and picked it slowly.
Following Ji Caiyan's line of sight, he looked at the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom with a bright smile on his face.
There was a hint of hostility and chill in this smile that no one could notice.
"Tsk! It's easy to say that he is the most beautiful man with such virtue. It's not as exaggerated as what Master Shang Li said, but it's not much different!"
Ji Caiyan finally saw the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom and shook his head.
There were terrible scars on his face, as if it had been polished with sandpaper.
There are also scratches on the exposed parts of the hands and neck.
The body looks very well-proportioned, and if there are no scars, he should be quite handsome.
"Have you seen enough?"
Song Wenqing put the peeled oranges into Ji Caiyan's hand. Seeing that Ji Caiyan finally looked away, she spoke with a smile.
"Hmm...why are you so sour?"
Ji Caiyan subconsciously showed off a piece of orange, and her sour facial features were twisted together.
"Is it sour?"
"Your Highness, I don't feel sad."
Song Wenqing took the sour orange Ji Caiyan put on the table as if there was no one around and ate it one bite at a time.
quiet--
The arrival of the second prince of Jinxiu Kingdom was not as eye-catching as Song Wenqing's actions.
Prime Minister Song, this is too...too unruly.
How could you eat the oranges Ji Caiyan had eaten? Be intimate.
Too, too, too... makes people envious and jealous! The princesses lowered their heads silently and looked at the oranges on their tables. They felt sour before they even ate them.
Song Wenqing is the youngest Prime Minister. In this world, the best high-status destination that a princess or princess can marry is Prime Minister Song!
"Calm down a little!"
Ji Caiyan touched her nose and kicked Song Wenqing.
"...The minister obeys the order."
Song Wenqing replied quietly, but his eyes did not converge at all. Anyone could see the look on Ji Caiyan's face.
"Shang Guanqing of Jinxiu Kingdom has met Emperor Dayan."
The man with scarred face bowed slightly and saluted the old emperor.
"Excuse me, give me a seat."
The old emperor nodded.
Shangguan Qing sat down without looking at anyone else.
"Master Tianshi has arrived!"
When the eunuch shouted this voice, there was a touch of excitement.
Ji Caiyan looked at the old emperor subconsciously.
I saw that the old emperor and queen had stood up and began to salute in the direction outside.
Yes, the emperor and empress saluted the Heavenly Master!
Ji Caiyan was shocked. Before she could react, Song Wenqing had already helped her up.
Everyone present stood up and saluted respectfully in the direction of the Heavenly Master! (End of this chapter)
