"Thank you, Queen, for the reward!" Eunuch Cui and Aunt Rong both knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Get up, these are all Yuan Chen's contributions." The Queen said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."

"That's right! We are all family members here. Please see the Queen and the Emperor." At this time, Feng Chongwu came in and greeted the Queen and the Emperor.

When the queen saw him, the smile on her face faded: "Why did Chongwu come into the palace so late?"

"I have been delayed for some time because of something, so I came here to wish the Queen a happy birthday." Feng Chongwu said.

"Forgive me, if you're interested, sit down." The queen said.

"Thank you, Queen." Feng Chongwu sat down one after another.

Eunuch Cui served tea: "Your Highness, please have some tea."

"Thank you, Eunuch Cui." Feng Chongwu took the tea cup, took a sip, and praised, "The tea is really good!"

When the Sheng family members saw the eldest prince coming, they immediately stood up and greeted Feng Chongwu.

Feng Chongwu smiled and agreed. When he saw Sheng Zhiyao, he paused and then said, "How is Princess Yongchen's visit these days?"

"Your Highness, the eldest prince, is concerned. The daughter of the common people is very good." Sheng Zhiyao smiled lightly, neither humble nor arrogant. New

"If that's the case, that's good." Feng Chongwu said.

"Thank you, eldest prince, for your concern." Sheng Zhiyao nodded slightly.

"You don't have to be cautious, we will all be a family from now on," Feng Chongwu said.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince, you are welcome." Sheng Zhiyao lowered her eyes slightly.

Feng Chongwu smiled, said no more, and lowered his head to drink tea.

The queen joked: "We haven't seen you for so long. Chongwu is much calmer than before, but he is also more handsome. Did your father say that you married the daughter of a businessman?"

Feng Chongwu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth. He put down his tea bowl and said, "The Queen is joking. I am indeed married. I didn't have time to report to my father and you. It's an unfilial act on my part."

"Humph~ It's okay if you know how to be unfilial. Do you know that you are a prince, how can you marry a wife casually? This is a big taboo." The emperor reprimanded.

"Father, I know my crime, so I shouldn't be so reckless! But Lan'er is a good lady." Feng Chongwu said hurriedly.

The emperor waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about your marriage. I have never forced you in so many years. Now that you are married, you can take care of it yourself. Since you have come to the palace today, I hope you young people can

Just help each other out and support each other."

"My son, I have received the order." Feng Chongwu said quickly, glancing at Feng Yuanchen.

"This time you invited yourself to stay in the fief for such a long time, and when you came back, you didn't notify me in advance." The emperor said.

"My son also heard about the incident between Prime Minister Qi and Feng Yuanqing on the road, so he hurried back. Unfortunately, it was a step too late. My son's rescue came late. I hope my father will not blame me." Feng Chongwu said.

His face was sincere, but there was no trace of hypocrisy.

"Okay, this matter is over, there is no need to mention it. Now that you are back, you should participate in the government affairs and don't just have fun all day long." The emperor waved his hand and said, "If you are used to being idle, I don't mind letting you stay in the capital.

I will be a leisurely prince who travels around."

"Yes, Father." Feng Chongwu handed over his hand, but he was thinking in his heart that when he was firmly established, he would get rid of all these old guys, especially the Sheng family!

Feng Yuanchen looked at the confrontation between father and son, and the corner of his mouth curled up. He liked this kind of undercurrent scene, but the emperor was the emperor after all, and the son was just following his father's old path!

"It's getting late, and I'm tired. Let's all disperse!" The emperor waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave.

"Farewell Your Majesty!" After everyone said this, they left the Purple Phoenix Palace.

The birthday banquet, which was originally a happy one, ended unhappy due to Feng Chongwu's sudden arrival.

Feng Chongwu stood up, looked at the people in the Sheng family, and finally his eyes fell on Sheng Zhiyao's face. His eyes were shining with an unusually bright light, as if he was mocking her.

Sheng Zhiyao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Feng Chongwu coldly.

Feng Chongwu smiled and brushed

Sleeve away......

"Sure enough, it's not a good thing." Sheng Zhiyao's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to fall into the ears of everyone in the Sheng family.

"How dare you say anything to a prince?" Sheng Zhengye glared at Sheng Zhiyao, "This is the palace!"

"Father, what are you afraid of? If we don't say anything, others will think that we can say good things?" Sheng Zhiyao did not shy away.

"You!" Sheng Zhengye pointed at the tip of Sheng Zhiyao's nose, furious.

Seeing this, Lord Sheng couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Sheng Zhengye and found that he didn't look too angry, so he said, "Zhengye, Zhiyao is right, maybe we don't say anything.

Others will also think we said it, so why bother!"

"Father..." Sheng Zhengye looked at Mr. Sheng in surprise, obviously not knowing he would say such a thing.

"I also think what Zhiyao said makes sense." Qi Xinyue echoed, "Zhengye, just calm down."

"But trouble comes from the mouth." Sheng Zhengye said without giving up, "What if word gets out..."

"Don't worry, people will spread it even if you don't say it. Just be careful in the future." Mr. Sheng patted Sheng Zhengye on the shoulder, "Zhengye, don't worry, Zhiyao has a sense of proportion."

Sheng Zhengye wanted to say something else, but in the end he could only nod. His eyes fell on Sheng Zhiyao again. It seemed that he had thousands of words to say to her, but he stopped talking.

"Father, I know what you want to say, but Zhiyao also wants to tell you that although you often need to swallow your anger and hide your strength and bide your time as a proton, it does not mean that you have to always be like this. The world will not change just because you say less.

I won't be more generous to you just because

The more you say, the more you say, and you will be impressed. You just need to keep your true heart and don't change yourself because of anyone or anything, let alone doubt your own judgment because of other people's words or trivial things." Sheng Zhiyao looked at it.

With a sincere attitude, he spoke word by word.

When Sheng Zhengye heard these words, he couldn't help but froze, his eyes flashing with strange colors.

This was the first time that he heard these words from Sheng Zhiyao, and he forgot his reaction for a moment.

Seeing this, Sheng Zhiyao continued: "Father, although Zhiyao is young, she has a big mentality. I hope you can have your own ideas like Zhiyao."

"Okay." Sheng Zhengye said, looking at Sheng Zhiyao with more admiration in his eyes.

"Let's go home!" Sheng Zhiyao smiled at Sheng Zhengye, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

"You girl." Mr. Sheng shook his head fondly and raised his feet to follow Sheng Zhiyao's pace.

After returning to the Sheng Mansion, Mr. Sheng immediately ordered someone to call Sheng Zhiyao into the study.
