Chapter 31 - 31. The Emperor I

Third person POV

He couldn't blame Xu Tingfeng, Xu Tingfeng didn't found her body, it wasn't weird if he announced his baby daughter was dead. He tried to think how to bring down this general of his. And by looking how the gnarl acted, it seemed like he hasn't know the culprit yet. The emperor was relieved, he sighed and looked at Hong er again.

Emperor: " Can you take off your mask?"

Hong er lowered her head and said.

Hong er: " I can't, Your Majesty."

The emperor immediately became angry, the vein in his forehead were going to pop. ' This family is too much! How dare they disrespect me!'

Emperor: " Impudent!"

The hall became silent, the ministers didn't dare to breath loudly. The emperor glared at Hong er but Hong er didn't flich nor scared.

Hong er: " Please ease your anger, Your Majesty. I have a reason for this."

Emperor: " Speak!"

Hong er: " I had vowed to the God of Light Sheng Jie to not show my face to the public before I marry. The only men that can see my face are my family, Your Majesty."

The emperor was speechless. He clenched his fist under his sleeve, he can't just force her to break her vow because he wants to see her face. And he couldn't offend this general of his. The emperor could only wave his hand, Xu Tingfeng and Hong er went back to their seat. The Da Chu Crown prince, Long Shangu, stood up and lifted up the his wine cup.

Long Shangu: " Let's start the festival, shall we?"

The emperor was relieved that his son lifted up the awkward atmosphere, he had a better impression on this son of his. Meanwhile, in Long Shangu's heart, he was laughing. Long Shangu had always fights for the throne in the dark. He needs to give a filial son impression to that greedy father of his.

But he couldn't help but look at Hong er, even though she was still very young, she already has a great body. Long Shangu hungrily stared at Hong er, but suddenly he had goosebumps all over his body. He looked around but no one was looking at him, he scratched his head, ' Weird'.

Liu Weisheng saw Long Shangu's hungry stare, he was angry. He glared at Long Shangu murderously.

Liu Weisheng: ' That useless crown prince! How dare he stare at my Hong er with those l.u.s.tful eyes?! I want to gouge out his eyes.'

Hong er POV

The food came and I sneakily checked the food with a silver needle, when I saw nothing changed, I lightly nodded. Then we happily eat the food. I always felt like someone was looking at me but I paid no heed. We ate until nothing was left, even though the food in our residence was more delicious, but we must not waste any food.

The dancers were dancing gracefully with music playing on the background. But when I was watching the dancers, I noticed that the Huang guifei was staring at father. The way she looked at father was weird, it was almost like how mother looks at father. No way…

Then I turned around to look at father and mother. Father was playing with mother's hand and mother was smiling gently at father. There were flowers and hearts floating in the air, the only way to describe them was they are lovey dovey. And I look at Huang guifei again, her face was truly priceless.

Her face was showing all of her emotions right now. Jealousy, hatred, envy, greed, and disdain. Of course she likes father more than that emperor husband of her. Even though father's and the emperor's age are close, but the differences are large. At the age of 30, father was actually richer than that emperor. Father is taller and more handsome than that emperor. And father is more popular than that emperor. That's why that emperor hates father so much that he wants to kill father.

I smirked beneath my mask, they were jealous with what father has. If that emperor knew that father is richer than him, maybe he will puke blood. I continued to watch the dancers, I heard giggling sound from beneath. I looked over and saw girls who were sitting under us looking at something with love in their eyes. They were squirming on their seat, I looked at what they were looking at. I saw the Crown prince from Da Qi silently sat on his seat, he seemed so serious, are the dance really that good? Maybe he purposely ignored the stares that was given by the girls. I shrugged my shoulders and drank my tea.
