Chen picked up a piece of paper and wrote a short note, then said to Xiaogongzi, "Go, give this to Xu Changqing."Xiaozi respectfully followed, just about to leave when Li Chen called out, "Wait."Xiao...Chapter 20: This palace apologizes to you
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers in the hall were enraged, especially Sun Beri. His old face turned red with anger as he shouted, "You eunuch dare to insult propriety and utter vulgar language in this grand hall!"
Sān Bǎo heard the two words "eunuch" and his eyes immediately turned cold. Of all things, eunuchs hated to hear these words the most. He said in a sinister tone: "Mr. Sun, this is exactly what the Crown Prince said. This humble servant dares not spread the Crown Prince's orders indiscriminately. If you don't believe me, ask the Crown Prince yourself."
"Besides, even though I am a castrated man, I know how to write the words 'loyalty to the monarch'. My mouth may be dirty, but it's not as disgusting as you, Mr. Sun, who with your righteous facade and the court's salary, act as a dog for others in such a despicable way."
Sun Beri glared with fury.
"You..."
"Alright!"
Jianji Hall Grand Scholar Wang Tenghuan coldly glanced at the three treasures, then said to Sun Berli: "Sir Sun, let us wait patiently for a while. There's no reason to ruin our mood for a eunuch."
In this group, Wang Tenghuan, the grand scholar of Jianjidian University, ranked second only to Zhao Xuanji. Sun Berli immediately bowed to Wang Tenghuan and then let out a cold snort at the Three Treasures, truly refraining from speaking any further.
Sanzhao's eyes glinted menacingly as they swept across Sun Berli and Wang Tenghuan. With a burning desire for revenge, he had made up his mind: if he didn't get the chance now, he would bide his time. Once an opportunity arose, he would make these two pay back tenfold for their insults today.
Wang Tenghuan and the others initially thought that Li Chen was simply playing hard to get, making them wait for him for a while to satisfy his vanity before coming out. However, they waited for a full half hour, much longer than expected.
Sun Bolì was most restless. He didn't know how many times he had looked outside Xizheng Hall and still hadn't seen the Prince's figure. Unable to contain himself, he addressed the three Treasures standing beside him with their eyes closed in meditation, clearly separating themselves from the rest of them: "Where is His Royal Highness You go and inform him again."
"What are you, to order me around"
Sun Beri stared daggers at the three treasures, feeling a mouthful of blood welling up in his chest, threatening to burst forth.
"You audacious mongrel, daring to speak insolently to this official..."
"The Prince has arrived!"
A piercing and loud chant interrupted Sun Boli's clamor.
Sānbǎo glared coldly at Sun Bólǐ, then ran to the entrance of the main hall, bowing. As Li Chén approached with a refreshing air and strode in, she curtsied and said: "This slave greets Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
Seeing the three treasures so fawning, Sun Berli smiled coldly and muttered, "Eunuchs are just eunuchs, spineless things."
But for some reason, Sun Boli's heart felt a twinge of unease.
Upon being greeted by the three treasures, Li Chen, in a good mood, nodded in acknowledgment.
"Your Highness, all the officials are waiting inside."
Sanzhao uttered some nonsense and then cast a cold glance at Sun Berli before saying, "Especially Dali Temple Minister Sun Berli, who has repeatedly asked me to urge the Crown Prince to come over sooner."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Berli's heart skipped a beat and he felt a sense of foreboding.
Everyone says eunuchs have gloomy, perverted personalities and are vindictive. This castrated dog, as expected, went tattling.
"Oh"
Li Chen glanced at Sun Boli, then strode into the Xizheng Hall.
Zhao Xuanji and the others bowed and paid their respects: “We, your humble servants, pay our respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince!”
Li Chen looked at Sun Borui with indifference and said, "Sun Borui, do you think this palace arrived too late Should this palace apologize to you"n something more valuable than a priceless treasure - your skills. With such ability, if you don't use it for them, you'll only destroy it yourself.Zhou Ping'an's words reached Zhou Changshou's ears....
