After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 593: Calm Down (Request for Monthly Tickets)
After the Princess Beimo and Princess Shouning had their medicine applied, it was almost time for the banquet to start.
The Empress went to see the Emperor with a stomach full of anger.
Consort Li was in a bright mood.
She was very certain this time.
As long as the Princess Consort Zhenbei enters the palace, the Empress would surely be at a loss.
When the Empress is at a loss, she is happy.
It’s a pity the Marquis Dongxiang has only one daughter; otherwise, she would plead for the Third Prince to marry her.
Zhanghua Palace.
This was the venue for the welcome banquet.
By the time Su Jin and the others arrived, many people were already inside the palace.
Xie Jingchen was sitting there.
Su Jin walked over to him and sat down by his side.
Xie Jingchen looked at Su Jin and didn’t see any anger on her face.
"Already calmed down?" Xie Jingchen asked.
"Calmed down from what?" Su Jin looked at him.
"..."
Xie Jingchen’s throat tightened.
He didn’t know how to respond.
He remembered Su Jin’s words; she doesn’t hold grudges, and any grudge would be settled on the spot.
Su Jin didn’t immediately react to what Xie Jingchen was referring to; she wasn’t angry, so how could she calm down?
Then she remembered that Xie Jingchen was referring to the matter of Princess Beimo coveting him.
Su Jin felt playful, stared at Xie Jingchen’s face for a moment, and sighed, "You’re really too conspicuous."
"I don’t want my husband to be coveted every day," Su Jin said.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchen had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Su Jin’s next words confirmed his suspicions, "If you were pitch black, I doubt Princess Beimo would take a liking to you."
Cough, cough!
Behind them, Prince NanAn choked.
Su Jin turned around and saw Prince NanAn coughing as he said, "I didn’t hear anything."
"Sister-in-law is always right."
"If there’s anything we can help with, just say the word, Sister-in-law."
"If Brother Jingchen wants to resist, we can hold him down for you."
Xie Jingchen’s face turned as black as pot soot.
And he said he didn’t hear anything?
Fortunately, this was the Imperial Palace; if it were in Agarwood Pavilion.
They probably wouldn’t even need Su Jin to say a word before they tied him up and painted him into a charcoal figure.
What a group of good brothers.
So good it made one clench their teeth.
Prince NanAn and the others acted fearlessly.
After days of training at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, the four of them combined could already overpower Su Chong.
The higher the martial arts skill, the smaller the room for improvement.
But they were used to being lackadaisical, and under the oppressive training of the Marquis Dongxiang, their martial arts progressed rapidly.
The four of them were progressing at great speed, and combined with coordinated efforts, their power was imaginable.
Of course—
If any of them were alone, they would be beaten by Su Chong to the point their parents wouldn’t recognize them.
Inside the grand hall, everyone was whispering, discussing various topics, creating a lot of noise.
As soon as a nasally voice rang out—
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The grand hall instantly quieted down, so silent that a pin drop could be heard.
The Emperor walked over, followed closely by the Empress and Consort Li.
The officials and their families rose to salute the Emperor.
At this moment, three small figures quickly ran in through the door, quietly moving toward the empty space behind the Dongxiang Marquis.
This scene was just in time for Eunuch Fu to see.
His face was full of black lines.
The timing was truly precise.
Two people per table.
The Young Master Su and his companions, being small in size, didn’t find it crowded to share a table.
However, the position wasn’t ideal; raising their heads, all they could see was the back of their father’s head.
Not wanting to sit behind his father, Young Master Su looked around, hoping to find an acquaintance to switch places with.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know many people.
Outside the hall, the nasally voice rang out again:
"The Beimo Envoy has arrived!"
Everyone turned toward the sound to see the Beimo Cheng King stepping in.
Sturdy and robust, with swallows’ eyes and tiger whiskers.
He looked like an old general who’s experienced many battles, with no trace of illness.
Few people recovering from major illness had such a healthy look as the Beimo Cheng King.
Especially when he’s about fifty and traveled all the way to Daqi.
Considering he borrowed a hundred thousand soldiers from Nanliang and was on the verge of attacking, it was clear he had been feigning illness to hide his abilities right under King Beimo’s nose.
Everyone’s attention lingered on the Beimo Cheng King for a moment before being drawn to Princess Beimo.
After all, a princess with such a bruised and swollen face was truly shocking.
It was so severe yet she didn’t cover it with a veil.
What happened in the Imperial Garden, being that it involved Princess Shouning and Princess Beimo, no one dared spread it, so most people didn’t know about Princess Beimo and Princess Shouning provoking the Princess Consort Zhenbei, resulting in a beating from Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince.
The Emperor looked shocked.
Princess Beimo seethed with anger but had to hold it in.
Wearing a veil to meet the Emperor of Daqi would be deeply disrespectful, and moreover, Princess Shouning was in no better condition.
Laughing at her meant laughing at Princess Shouning.
Having someone share her disgrace made it less embarrassing.
The Emperor glanced at her a few more times and said, "Is Princess Beimo injured?"
The Empress looked at the Emperor, "The Emperor doesn’t know yet?"
The Emperor was a bit confused.
Princess Beimo injured, how could he have known?
But for such a big matter, how could no one have reported it?
These injuries looked fresh, surely not brought from Beimo.
The Empress thought the Emperor already knew, as the eunuchs reported to her, the Emperor sided with Young Master Su, so when meeting the Emperor, she was nervous, fearing he’d blame her for not disciplining Princess Shouning, thus she never mentioned it.
Little did she expect the Emperor didn’t know?!
"What exactly is going on?" the Emperor asked.
The Empress glanced at Su Jin and then looked towards Young Master Su behind the Marquis Dongxiang.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Beimo wanted to spar with the Princess Consort Zhenbei in martial arts, whipped the Princess Consort Zhenbei, and during the chase fell and got hurt."
"Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince used slingshots to beat Princess Beimo to such a state."
The Emperor, "...."
Eunuch Fu, "...."
Eunuch Fu finally understood why earlier Young Master Su had been clinging around the Emperor.
Turns out he’d caused trouble.
Remembering the question he asked the Emperor.
Princess Beimo’s beating was in vain.
The Emperor couldn’t be inconsistent.
"What about Shouning?" the Emperor frowned.
"Wasn’t she with Princess Beimo?"
"If they were going to spar, why didn’t she try to stop it?"
Listening to the Emperor, Su Jin silently rolled her eyes.
The Emperor truly didn’t understand his daughter at all.
If not for Princess Shouning fanning the flames, she and Princess Beimo might not have fought.
The Empress didn’t know how to respond to the Emperor, and as his gaze swept, "Where’s Shouning, why isn’t she here?"
Consort Li looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Shouning’s injuries are even more serious than Princess Beimo’s."
The Emperor, "...."
"Bring her here," the Emperor said coldly.
Upon seeing Princess Shouning with injuries matching Princess Beimo’s.
The Emperor’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot.
He had already spoken beforehand and didn’t know who to reprimand.
But doing nothing would be too indulgent towards Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince.
"Bring them here," the Emperor ordered.
Moments later, seeing Princess Shouning sporting the same injuries as Princess Beimo.
The Emperor’s face darkened even further.
He had already made statements before, and didn’t know whom to reprimand.
But to do nothing would be too lenient towards Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince.
"Bring them here," the Emperor said coolly.
