The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

Considering Xia Houfeng's nervous attitude towards the sword, if he accepts the sword now, wouldn't he act like a greedy king who doesn't care about the feelings of his ministers in front of all the civil and military officials and their families?
But this sword is a rare black iron sword that can cut iron as well as clay. If he returns it to Xia Houfeng like this, he will feel physical pain and waste his son's 200,000 taels of gold!

In fact, Ye Junshuo didn't care at all about wasting the two hundred thousand taels of gold his son had spent, but he really didn't want to part with this sword.

For the first time in his heart, Ye Junshuo felt that it was difficult to get off the tiger.

Just when he had a headache, Ye Lu beside him suddenly thought of something, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Since King Zhannan is like this, I think he only cares about your brother's safety now. But to be honest, even if this sword belongs to your brother, King Zhannan, I bought it with real money and silver, and it is also a treasure in my heart. If King Zhannan wants to redeem your brother, I will be reluctant to give it up. I have already said that this is a gift to my father. I think King Zhannan will not stop me from this act of filial piety. Heart?"

"Oh, what King Lu said is true. If King Zhannan wants it, I can't give up my love."

Ye Junshuo heard this and pretended to be grand.

In fact, Ye Junshuo was extremely shocked at this time. He had never realized that his son was actually a tough guy before.

But that’s okay, if the son becomes the bad guy, he will be left to be the good guy himself.

He has said so, as long as King Zhannan is bold enough, he can just speak.

Haha, thinking about it, my son would not let King Zhannan take the sword back easily.

Ye Junshuo had already thought about it in his mind, and the embarrassment on his face was clearly expressed. What else could Xia Houfeng not understand?
"No, Your Majesty, how dare I deprive you of King Lu's sincerity of filial piety to Your Majesty? I am just really shocked. I was abrupt, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"No, no, no, King Zhan Nan, don't be afraid, I mean it sincerely."

"Father, I think King Zhan Nan is sincere. After all, this sword is just a weapon that belonged to King Zhan Nan's brother. Since King Zhan Nan's brother put it up for auction, King Zhan Nan naturally cannot take it back. Father, just accept it with peace of mind."

Before Ye Junshuo finished speaking, Ye Lu boldly interrupted him and perfectly handed the sword into Ye Junshuo's hands.

With such an episode at the palace banquet, no one expected that among the princes today, Ye Lu, a prince who couldn't stand up to the wall, would be in the limelight.

After Ye Junshuo got the treasure, he became more and more pleased with his unsatisfactory son.

"I also said that I will reward King Lu for making such progress. King Lu, have you thought about what you want?"

Hearing this, Ye Lu felt happy and hurriedly licked his face, then came close to Ye Junshuo's ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Everyone looked at Ye Lu's unruly behavior and cursed in their hearts.

The princes, in particular, were so jealous that they went crazy.

But when the princes saw Ye Junshuo's face getting darker and darker, they were originally jealous of Ye Lu for being so bold and unruly in front of their father. Suddenly, everyone felt gloating in their hearts!

"Presumptuous, it's just child's play!"

Sure enough, it was just as Yelu expected.

As long as he puts forward this condition, his father will definitely become furious!
Look, the treasure that I just accepted two hundred thousand taels of gold is now turning against me.
Yelu felt extremely innocent in her heart.

Under Ye Junshuo's roar, Ye Lu hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at Ye Junshuo warily.

"Father, just now you were so eloquent that you allowed me to raise conditions at will. Now I have just made such a small suggestion. Why did my father need to get so angry? You have scared me!" Ye Junshuo subconsciously glanced at Xia Houfeng, who had returned to his seat, and glared at Ye Lu again with side eyes!
"Hmph, you are trying to frame me for injustice."

Having said this, Ye Junshuo waved his hands towards Ye Lu again and said: "No, I don't agree to this condition, please change it!"

Night wisp!

"Father, I don't want my father to agree now. Father, think about it. I will have a good discussion with my father when I enter the palace tomorrow."

Having said this, Ye Lu blinked at Ye Junshuo again, with that ungrateful look, which made Ye Junshuo regret even more. He had just been fooled by Ye Lu.

"Humph!"

Ye Junshuo ignored Ye Lu and his eyes fell on the personal eunuch beside him.

"Okay, the palace banquet continues, let's play music!"

"play music!"

As the eunuch's voice fell and the piano sounded, the dancer who had been waiting outside the hall also filed in and started dancing in the center of the hall. .

The ministers exchanged cups, stood up one by one, and said blessings to Ye Junshuo, the Queen Mother and others who were sitting on the dragon chair.

When he returned to his seat, Xia Houfeng, who seemed to have lost his mood, was in a very low mood.

Seeing the bustling scene, Xiahou Yuanwei became a little anxious.

"Father, it's already this time. I think Your Majesty will have to leave soon. Why didn't Father mention this great opportunity to Your Majesty just now?"

Being urged by his daughter, Xia Houfeng, who was already in a bad mood, became even more irritable.

"It's your uncle's matter that matters now. Anyway, there are only three months left before your wedding to King Lu. It doesn't matter if we push it forward or not. Even if my father proposed to your majesty that the marriage should be completed as soon as possible, now my father The king has no time to deal with your affairs. My father must go to Fengcheng tomorrow."

Upon hearing what his father said, Xiahou Yuanwei, who had been looking forward to it all night, suddenly dropped her face. She was obviously surprised and angry at the same time!
When Xia Hou Yuanwei was sulking, a palace maid who was refilling her wine suddenly lost her footing and accidentally knocked over the wine bottle in her hand, falling right on Xia Hou Yuanwei's skirt.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't do this on purpose, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down at Xiahou Yuanwei's feet and kowtowed towards Xiahou Yuanwei.

Seeing such a reckless palace maid, Xiahou Yuanwei was already in a bad mood, and now she became even more angry.

But because she was in front of so many people, including the emperor and the queen mother, it was difficult for her to get angry at the palace maid.

Just at this moment, Ye Lu happened to leave from the side door of the palace. Xiahou Yuanwei immediately stood up and gave instructions to the palace maid beside him.

"No problem, just take me to change my clothes."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly stood up and led Xiahou Yuanwei towards the side door of the palace.

Night fell and it was snowing again. As soon as she came out, Xiahou Yuanwei saw Ye Lu's figure disappearing at the corner of the verandah in front of her again. She lifted up her skirt, ignored the palace maid, and chased after her again. (End of chapter)
