Little Eunuch said with a cunning tone, "Miss Situ, please go in. The Emperor has been waiting for a long ti."
Although she already knew in her heart it was the Emperor who summoned her, outwardly, she feigned confusion: "Didn’t you say it was the Empress who summoned ? Why is it now the Emperor?"
The Little Eunuch chuckled and mumbled evasively, "Isn’t it all the sa?"
Is it the sa? Of course not.
The nature is different, right? If it was the Emperor who summoned her, it definitely had sothing to do with dealing with Long Rui.
As for the Empress, she couldn’t think of any sches for now. If she were still unmarried, maybe it was to pave the way for the Fourth Prince, but now she’s married, so why seek her?
Could it be, like the Fourth Prince, she also wouldn’t let go of a married woman?
Xuexue believed that regardless of the aspect, the Empress was very ticulous about her biological son’s marriage prospects, and would never allow the Fourth Prince to marry a married woman.
Following the Little Eunuch, she entered the majestic palace.
Surrounded by pavilions and towers. The artificial hills and lakeshores were as beautiful as in her previous life.
Early in the morning, the Emperor had sent soone to the War Prince’s Mansion, under the na of the Empress, intending to bring Situtu Xueer into the palace to stay for a few days, causing the seriously ill Long Rui to fret, and ideally enraging him to the point of a severe illness, saving him trouble.
Yet, waiting left and right, there was no sign of anyone, making him extrely agitated.
Could it be that the War Prince saw through his trick and wouldn’t let Madam Situ enter the palace?
While speculating, a Little Eunuch ran in to report that Madam Situ had arrived.
The Emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly exclaid, "Quickly, invite her in."
Soon, Xuexue, led by the eunuch, ca before the Emperor.
"Subject greets the Emperor."
Xuexue knelt on the ground, performing the kneeling ceremony before the Emperor.
The Emperor’s eyes twinkled as he looked at the unparalleled beauty before him, silently sighing. He hadn’t realized before how beautiful Miss Situ was! Alas, what a pity, such a beauty wasted on Long Rui.
Besides, without ntioning beauty, just the military power in Situ Yongjie’s hands was enough to provoke jealousy.
"Miss Situ, there are no outsiders here, so there’s no need for formalities, please rise."
Xuexue couldn’t help but inwardly curl her lip and internally criticize: The Emperor is so pretentiously virtuous, waiting for her to finish paying her respects before saying this, isn’t this like putting on airs unnecessarily?
However, outwardly, she still politely said, "Thank you, Emperor."
The Emperor: "It’s already noon. Miss Situ must be hungry by now. If you don’t mind, why not have a al with ?"
Xuexue inwardly wanted to complain, I do mind, truly, but does that an I can avoid dining with you?
The answer was obviously no.
Therefore, the Emperor’s words were all nonsense.
Xuexue dared not ask the Emperor why she had been brought into the Imperial Palace, rely keeping her eyes downcast and saying, "Thank you, Emperor."
Followed the Emperor to the dining hall, where a long rectangular table was filled with food—this was the treatnt of an Emperor, with a spread of dishes, totaling in the hundreds, just looking at it was satiating.
"Miss Situ, don’t just stand there dazed, sit down and have a al."
The Emperor assud Miss Situ, who had recently returned from the countryside, had not seen much of the world, and his dining scene had overwheld her.
Indeed, in wealthy families, at most they serve dozens of dishes at once, but the Emperor—well, he had hundreds at one sitting, quite the spectacle.
In her past life, when Xuexue was married, she had dined with the Emperor in the palace, naturally knowing the rules of the Imperial Palace.
