After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 86 The Unseemly First Prince

The twelfth prince glanced sideways at the tenth prince, his eyes innocent, pitiful and confused: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, why does the tenth prince ask like this?".

The tenth prince looked at the twelve princes suspiciously, and when he saw that the other prince really didn't seem to be holding on, he turned his head away in boredom.

I just feel so angry in my heart!
Tsk, the people working down there are getting worse and worse. They can't even deliver a little senna leaf. What's going on?
The twelfth prince seemed not to notice anything and just picked up the soup cup and drank slowly.

At this time, Miss Fang Wu from the Zhenguo General's Mansion stepped onto the stage.

Compared to the delicate attire of the noble ladies in front of her, this Miss Fang Wu was wearing a convenient short shirt and her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, giving her a somewhat dashing appearance.

Seeing her dressed like this, everyone looked at her curiously.

Jinse couldn't help but look at her for a while, feeling a little curious about Miss Fang Wu.

After Miss Fang Wu came to the stage, she cupped her fists and raised her hands, and said loudly: "I would like to perform a sword dance for the Emperor, the ladies, and the envoys of Daliang. Please give me your permission!"

As soon as Miss Fang Wu wanted to dance with the sword, Empress Li frowned. What's going on with the emperor dancing with swords and guns?

Thinking about it, Empress Li couldn't help but said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with dancing the sword at this time?".

The emperor glanced at Empress Li, then looked at Miss Fang Wu below, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Are you a girl from Fang Aiqing's family?".

After hearing what Empress Li said, Miss Fang Wu was a little disappointed at first, but when she met the emperor and asked, she quickly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, my daughter is from the general's residence!".

General Zhenguo also stood up and bowed his hands to the emperor.

The emperor nodded and said: "Fang Aiqing is very good at martial arts, so I agreed to your request and went to find a suitable long sword for her!".

Eunuch Yang stood up first this time and responded: "Slave, go right now!".

The eldest prince sat down below and looked at Miss Fang Wu several times curiously.

A girl who knows martial arts is so interesting!I just don’t know if it’s true.

Not long after, Eunuch Yang came back with a long sword. After showing it to the emperor, he handed it to Miss Fang Wu.

Miss Fang Wu looked at the sword, her eyes brightened slightly, she took it and looked at it carefully several times.

Then, she thanked the emperor with fists in her hands, and then she drew her sword and started dancing.

Jinse has never seen a sword dance before, so he will be fascinated by it.

After Miss Fang Wu finished the last move and accepted the test, the emperor laughed: "Yes, Fang Aiqing's tiger father has no dog daughter!".

When Miss Fang Wu heard this, she smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!".

General Zhenguo, who was sitting at the other end, also stood up again and said humbly: "This girl is usually good at wielding swords. If she doesn't embarrass herself here, I feel relieved!".

The emperor laughed again and had a few words with General Zhenguo.

After the emperor finished speaking, the eldest prince, who had endured it for a long time, immediately stood up and said loudly: "Father, my son and I also think that Miss Fang Wu is very good!".

As soon as the eldest prince said this, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the eldest prince.

Empress Li frowned and said, "What does the eldest prince mean by this?".

The eldest prince replied: "If I return to my mother's house, I feel that Miss Fang Wu is worthy of being the eldest prince's concubine.".

This is quite straightforward, but...is it appropriate to say this in this situation?

The eldest prince might have forgotten that the princess of Liang Kingdom was interested in marrying him just now.

He had just rejected Princess Daliang unceremoniously, and now he had chosen the eldest princess... Yu Wenyi's face did look a little ugly now.

Even Yuwen Liuyu felt unhappy.

Yuwen Liuyu felt that even though she didn't think much of the eldest prince, she couldn't allow him to slap her in the face again and again.

Concubine Jiang laughed and said to Concubine Wu: "Sister Concubine De, the eldest prince is really quick to talk, don't you think?".

Concubine Wu pursed her lips and glanced at the emperor secretly. Seeing the emperor's slightly sullen face, she suddenly became anxious.

She hurriedly said to the eldest prince: "eldest prince, don't talk nonsense here, it will damage the reputation of the girl's family. Your marriage will be decided by your father!".

As Concubine Wu De spoke, she winked at the chamberlain beside the eldest prince.

But at this moment, the emperor is still watching from above, so how can the servant dare to do anything?
The angry Concubine Wu stared.

The eldest prince also said very directly: "What the mother and concubine said, and what the son and minister said is true, how can it be nonsense!".

After saying that, the eldest prince looked at the emperor again: "Father, how about you accept my son's request?"

The emperor glanced at the eldest prince and said: "You are in a hurry, but your mother and concubines have started to choose a concubine for you a while ago. In that case, just wait.".

General Zhenguo's family did not react when they heard this.

After all, the eldest prince is marrying his wife, so the emperor naturally has to consider many things. Moreover, there is still Princess Liang who is watching eagerly. It is normal for the emperor not to grant marriage at this time.

The eldest prince was a little disappointed and wanted to stalk him.

The emperor seemed to have guessed that the eldest prince would not be reconciled, and gave him a determined look.

The eldest prince immediately did not dare to speak anymore and sat back silently.

Due to the sudden appearance of the eldest prince, the atmosphere in the hall became a little stiff.

Jinse hesitated for a moment, then stood two steps forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time for Miss Lin's performance next!".

Listening to Jinse's voice, the emperor's expression softened, then nodded and said: "In that case, let's get started!".

Jinse said yes, then raised his hand to signal to the musicians and Miss Lin behind.

Soon, the music started again and the atmosphere in the hall became active again.

It's just that everyone's thoughts are more or less divided.

Some people were thinking about the eldest prince and lamented that the eldest prince was not decent. How could he suddenly make such a request at this time?
Some people were wondering about the emperor's attitude towards this matter, wondering which noble girl the emperor would eventually designate as the eldest prince's concubine.

There were also some people who were secretly looking at Jinse.

Since the incident in the Winter Imperial Garden last year, there have been rumors in the palace that the emperor has recently attached great importance to the palace maid named Jinse who rescued him that time.

It's just that this matter is usually just a rumor, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, so they all have a somewhat skeptical attitude.

However, the scene just now made everyone couldn't help but think too much.

The emperor was clearly displeased with his behavior just now. At that time, Eunuch Yang didn't even dare to speak casually.

But Jinse spoke.

The important thing is that after hearing her words, the emperor not only did not mean to blame, but also softened his expression.

Everyone thought, it seems that the emperor really thinks highly of this palace maid named Jinse, as the rumors said.
