I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 46: They are all drama queens
When Minister Wen got off the carriage, he glanced casually and seemed to see someone who could not possibly be here.

He looked at it intently.

!!!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Madam Wen saw that Minister Wen was standing still and got no response when she shook his arm, so she followed his line of sight.

I saw a young man in a red robe, tall and slender, with a handsome figure and a graceful appearance. He walked leisurely and freely, with cloud patterns on the hem of his robe fluttering like snow waves, as if he was an immortal.

Madam Wen was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Who is this handsome boy? I have never seen him before."

Minister Wen didn't care what his wife was saying. After confirming again and again that the young man was the one he was thinking of, he took a deep breath and was about to step forward to pay his respects.

Xiao Jingfan glanced over, his dark eyes were calm and cold as frost, and immediately made Minister Wen freeze in his tracks.

The young man slowly curled his lips and revealed a faint smile, nodding gently like a stranger, appearing polite and courteous. However, the minister was so shocked that his heart trembled and he almost knelt down to him.

——Your Majesty, why did you run out of the palace alone?
Xiao Jingfan gave him a warning look and then looked away, continuing to walk forward leisurely.

Minister Wen calmed himself down. After three years as king and subject, they still had some basic tacit understanding.

His Majesty didn't want him to come forward and asked him to pretend he didn't notice.

He pretended to be calm, withdrew his gaze, and continued walking forward with his wife.

Madam Wen was still looking at him, and asked in a low voice, "Master, who is that boy? Our little girl hasn't been engaged yet, but she likes handsome men. I think there is no one more handsome than this one in the capital. How about making him our son-in-law?"

Wen Shangshu: "..."

He had already sent a daughter into the palace, and his rank was demoted not long ago. He couldn't send his younger daughter in again, could he?

"Master, he..."

"Madam, please be careful with your words." Minister Wen was worried that his wife might say something fatal without knowing the truth, so he gently squeezed her hand and gave her a mysterious look.

Outside, Madam Wen always listened to her husband, but when she saw this, she immediately shut her mouth and started to wonder about the young man's identity.

Could it be that the person who even her husband is afraid of is the prince of some royal palace?

Now that the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, the princes could not come to the capital without being summoned, but they had to show their filial piety. So those who had sons sent their sons, and those who had no sons sent their daughters or capable subordinates to bring gifts to the capital to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday and show their filial piety.

In addition, envoys from various countries have arrived, so the capital city has become very lively recently.

……

As we all know, in big occasions, the more important the person is, the later they arrive.

These court officials are very familiar with Xiao Jingfan's face.

As a result, each wife discovered that there was something wrong with her husband.

Some people stepped on empty air and fell off the carriage. Some were walking as if they were cast under a spell. Some suddenly tripped over their left foot and fell flat on their right foot. Some twisted their necks without looking at the road and bumped into the two stone lions at the gate, getting bruises all over their heads.

The servants in Prince Shun's mansion were so busy that they had no time to rest.

They were already busy, and suddenly these court officials seemed to be possessed by a ghost. Some fell down, some fell down, they looked this and that, helped this and that, and their heads were dizzy with work.

The instigator acted as if nothing had happened. He saw from a distance that there was no one familiar at the door and his identity would not be exposed, so he walked over and successfully blended in with the crowd.

Ministers: "..."

Suddenly I don’t want to attend this birthday party anymore.

"Ouch, I suddenly have a stomachache."

"Oh, my head hurts. I'm having a headache."

"Madam, hurry up, my leg is cramping, let's go back to the house to see a doctor."

"Son, help me. I suddenly remembered that it is not appropriate to wear red clothes today. Please help me go home and change."

At one point, everyone said goodbye.

The servants were at a loss. No, the doctor is in our Prince's Mansion, he will come as soon as we call him, why are you going home?

Also, sir, you are clearly wearing blue clothes, so where does the red color come from?

"Cough cough cough!" Seeing everyone finding excuses to leave, Xie Hui suddenly coughed heavily a few times.

Even in the noisy environment, his coughs were quite obvious. Everyone turned to look at him, wanting to see who was so tactless.

"Hello, everyone." Xie Hui straightened his waist and stood up straight. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave after seeing me? I am in your eyes."

The corners of his lips were raised, but his eyes were as fierce as a hound, sweeping over every minister who wanted to sneak away.

——If His Majesty doesn’t give the order, who dares to leave?
Ministers: "..."

"Oh, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

"It must be because of the great talents in the palace that my headache suddenly got better."

"I am strong and healthy. I can walk ten blocks."

"Son, I suddenly don't want to change my clothes. The festive red color is just right for celebrating a birthday."

Servants: ???

No, how did everything suddenly get better? Did they witness a medical miracle?
Chu Liuzheng, who was standing next to Zhou Yuande, was amazed.

[They are all great actors. They seamlessly transition from being in pain to being as strong as an ox. They act so realistically.]

"Since all the lords are in good health, please go in quickly." Xie Hui turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, with a smile as gentle as it could be, "Don't keep Prince Shun waiting for too long."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Master Marquis, please come first."

"Master Li is too polite. Let's go together."

"Lord Liu is a few years older than you, so he should go first."

"No, no, Lord Meng is the head of a department, please go first."

"You first."

"Please!"

"you……"

Prince Shun, who received the news and rushed to save the situation thinking that Xie Hui was here to cause trouble, looked at the important officials who were giving way to each other and were afraid of taking one more step than others:???
So, isn't it the time when you go to court and you want to smash the other person's head with your tablet?

You two, arm in arm, have you forgotten that you greeted each other's mothers yesterday?

Who's been inviting people over there and suddenly started playing finger-guessing games? He hasn't even had a sip of the wine yet. What is he doing?

"Everyone!" Prince Shun took a deep breath and shouted in a raised voice.

Everyone stopped immediately and looked at him dimly.

——You are not old enough to celebrate your birthday. Now, let’s call His Majesty here.

Prince Shun didn't understand what was going on, but it was really outrageous to have a group of people blocking the door at the moment. He didn't have time to think about it and smiled as he welcomed everyone in.

"Today, the king specially invited famous actors from the capital to perform in the palace. The show has already started. Please come in and listen to the show. The banquet will begin soon."

The ministers looked at each other. From what they heard, it seemed that Prince Shun didn't know that His Majesty had sneaked in.

So, is there something fun to watch?

As long as they don't have to watch their own fun, the ministers are still willing to have this fun.

All of a sudden, all the ministers stopped being polite to each other and walked in chatting and laughing, looking no different from any other banquet.

Seeing this, Prince Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes.

It turned out that they disliked his high-ranking status and did not come out in person to greet the guests. None of these old guys were easy to deal with!
