Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 698: What a bastard, how dare you mock your parents in person?

Emperor Wen even asked directly:

"Then I have to ask you, which one is more beautiful, your mother or the Queen?"

After hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang smiled sweetly, looked at Xiao Yuanyi, his smile dropped instantly, and he answered without any hesitation:
"The Queen is beautiful."

Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan smiled even more, and Cheng Shaoshang also laughed. Cheng Shi and his wife looked embarrassed, and Xiao Yuanyi hurriedly bowed to apologize:

"Your Majesty, I don't understand the rules. I met the Queen for the first time today and my words offended you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Queen."

Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but feel downcast when he saw that his mother was asking for forgiveness again.

Emperor Wen admired it very much and said:

"It doesn't matter, I think this kid is frank and honest, which is quite interesting."

He paused slightly:
"By the way, Cheng Aiqing, you and your family got up early to serve the imperial edict, so you probably haven't eaten."

Just when Cheng Shi was about to reply, Cheng Shaoshang spoke first:
"Father and mother have not eaten, but I have eaten."

Seeing that Emperor Wen and Queen Xuan were puzzled, she explained:
"I ate a pancake in the car, but I'm still hungry now."

Cheng Shi couldn't help but cover his face with his sleeves and robe, his face full of words.

Emperor Wen asked with a smile:

"You have eaten pancakes."

Cheng Shaoshang nodded:
"Ah."

Emperor Wen laughed:
"Okay, okay, how about your whole family staying and having lunch with me?"

Just as Cheng Shi and his wife were bowing and thanking each other, Cheng Shaoshang said with a smile:
"I can see it."

For a moment, Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan were so happy that they both laughed out loud.

On the other side, Wan Songbai heard that Cheng Shi's family of three had been ordered to enter the palace. He was worried that something had happened, so he also went to the palace to see them.

At this moment, Cao Cheng entered the palace and reported:
"Your Majesty, General Wan has entered the palace and is waiting at Chongde Hall."

"Okay, I'll go there." Emperor Wen looked at Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi:
"My dear friends, come with me to have a chat with Wan Qing."

"Yes."

Queen Xuan also looked at an old woman:

"Zhai Yu, take the wife of the Cheng family to the side hall of Changqiu Palace to have a rest. We will have a family dinner later."

"Yes."

At the same time, Yongle Palace.

Yang Jiao was meditating cross-legged on the couch, while Concubine Yue was concentrating on drawing talismans on the desk not far away.

Suddenly, a girl with a slim figure and a pretty face walked in, but her eyebrows were a bit sharp and she seemed not to be easy to get along with. She also had hairpins on her head, all kinds of jewelry hanging on her body, and was dressed in luxurious clothes.

"Mother concubine."

She tilted her head slightly and sighed in surprise:
"Brother Four Emperors, you are here to attend the family banquet today! You must know that except for the anniversary of General Huo's death and the grand ceremony in the court, you can choose all kinds of banquets. Even family banquets are rarely attended."

Yang Jiao raised his eyes and looked at this younger sister who had been raised in Xiao Yuehou's family since she was a child and had a short-sighted and greedy temperament.

"Why don't you ask Father, and you will definitely get an answer."

The third princess seemed to have recalled something, and she couldn't help but show a look of confusion, but when she thought of irritating the fourth emperor brother in front of her, she would not be like the third emperor brother, who looked harsh and difficult to deal with. In fact, as long as no fundamental problems were touched, Usually it is lifted high and put down gently.

As for her, the Fourth Emperor Brother, he looked at Qing Yan and smiled lightly, but his methods of punishing people were all horrifying. The key was that every punishment was justified, and he couldn't even let others make the decision for him.

Over the years, it was not just her, but also the fifth princess of the Changqiu Palace. It was like a woman who had suffered repeated defeats and suffered many hardships before she truly recognized herself. As a result, when they met now, it was like a mouse meeting a cat.

Therefore, even if he thought that the Fourth Emperor brother in front of him was probably forced to come by some trick his father had used, he did not dare to reveal the slightest hint of teasing.

The third princess simply ignored the topic, knelt down in front of Concubine Yue, and began to talk enthusiastically:
"The mother concubine didn't see Xiao Wu running into the Changqiu Palace crying. It's so funny. It seems that the father is really determined to marry her to her uncle's family." Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction:
"Really, why is she dissatisfied? Marrying such an arrogant and rude bride will bring a loss to my uncle's family."

As soon as she interrupted her, the talisman drawn by Concubine Yue failed again. She finally raised her head and replied:
"Your cousin is such a libertine. It's not surprising that Xiao Wu doesn't want to marry him."

The third princess was unhappy:
"Why don't you get married? I was very fond of Zi Sheng back then. My father asked me to marry the Xuan family. Didn't I also marry with tears in my eyes?"

"We are both princesses, and we are equally married. Why should she not marry if she wants to?"

Concubine Yue looked her over and said:
"I advise you to stop daydreaming. If Ling Zisheng saw such a ghost like you, would he have made your father worry about him for many years? I am afraid that the girl who could marry him would have been able to circle around the capital long ago. ”

The third princess said with an aggrieved look:
"Concubine, why do you belittle your own daughter like this?"

Concubine Yue looked at her daughter:

"I'm not convinced."

Seeing her curling up the corner of her mouth and getting angry, she said:
"The Prince Consort of the Xuan family has meritorious service. Not only does he have a clean family background, but he is also an upright man. Think about your cousin, who spends his days running around in the streets and alleys. No girl would marry him."

"If you and Xiao Wu were asked to exchange husbands, would you be happy?"

The third princess retorted:

"What about Xiaowu Manfu's staff? They gather together every day, pretending to discuss state affairs, but in fact, who knows what they are doing behind the scenes."

"Xiao Wu is not happy, just because he looks down on the Yue family."

Concubine Yue was angry:
"Stop fanning the flames here. You grew up in your uncle's house. He must have been instigating the grievances between Changqiu Palace and the Yue clan in front of you."

"I put my words here today. I only want to have a quiet life in this life. Put away those things in your belly and stop causing trouble for me. Otherwise, I will definitely not protect you."

At this moment, Yang Jiao said quietly:
"My son also wants to live a peaceful life in this life. I wonder if my mother and concubine can talk to my father and put away all the twists and turns."

After hearing this, the third princess was full of doubts and didn't know what happened.

Concubine Yue said calmly:

"I can't be your father's master. If you have anything to do, you'd better go find your father and don't disturb my peace."

"It's getting late, you go to the family dinner."

When the third princess heard this, she immediately asked:

"Mother and concubine won't go?"

"I'm most annoyed by those boring palace banquets. We don't know everyone well, so why bother pretending to be lively together."

The third princess came to Yongle Palace mainly because she wanted to attend the palace banquet with her mother, kill the majesty of Changle Palace, and let everyone in the imperial city know who is the real mistress.

So when I heard that my mother didn’t want to go, I immediately explained my thoughts:
"Then the mother-in-law will let them show off in the Changqiu Palace?"

He became even more speechless about this and said angrily:

"I can give the limelight to whomever I want, don't you agree?"

The third princess said aggrievedly:
"My son doesn't dare."

Yang Jiao left the couch and said helplessly:

"My son also wants to hide in peace and quiet, but it's a pity that he can't be as comfortable as his mother and concubine."

He sighed:
"Well, as the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are rich in knowledge and knowledge. I don't know if they have read this sentence of Master Kong."

After that, he quickly walked out of the palace.

When Concubine Yue saw her son who looked like he was wearing oil on the soles of his feet, she laughed and cursed:
"What a bastard. How dare you mock your parents in person."

She looked at her confused daughter:
"Don't stay here anymore, hurry up and go to the family dinner."

"Oh."
