Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 272: Meeting the Princess

Royal study room.

Eunuch Yu first took out the emperor's portion and wanted to put it in the dining room where he usually had breakfast.

"Let's go here." The emperor was too lazy to go to the kitchen. Didn't he see the yellow leaves were here? This little Yuzi just had no eyesight at all.

Eunuch Yu understood and cleaned the table in front of the throne, and placed the bowl of wonton soup on it: "Your Majesty, please."

The emperor took a porcelain spoon and scooped a wonton into his mouth. The unique and fresh taste instantly calmed his restless heart which had been restless all morning.

Huang Ye glanced at Hongdou, who picked up a bowl of wontons and handed it to Xiaoyinzi who was guarding the door: "Eat it quickly while it's hot. When you're done, bring me the soup bowl and spoon. Be careful not to break them." These porcelains were brought in by the empress when she entered the palace, so they must not be damaged.

Xiao Yinzi took it with both hands and looked at his master. When he saw Eunuch Yu nodded, he quickly took the bowl and went to the dining room where they had their meals.

The emperor took a few bites and looked at Eunuch Yu who was still standing beside him and said, "You go and eat too. I don't need you to serve me here." Little Yu's eyes were almost glued to his bowl.

Eunuch Yu happily agreed and did not sit down. He just held the bowl and ate the wontons one bite at a time, finishing the bowl clean. The bowl was so clean that there was not even a single chopped green onion.

The emperor also put down his bowl with satisfaction, but he felt regretful in his heart. The breakfast at Ningyuxuan was so delicious. It would be great if he could have breakfast there every day.

At this time, the young eunuch outside the door came in to report that Xu Yan and his parents had arrived outside the imperial study and asked to see the emperor.

Huang Ye noticed that An Ning's face turned pale all of a sudden. The girl who was chattering lively just now suddenly became at a loss. Huang Ye knew that she was angry and nervous, so he pulled her hand over to comfort her and put it in his palm.

"Don't be nervous. Here we have the Emperor, Eunuch Yu, and me. We are all on your side and backing you up. Just go ahead and fight them to death. Don't be afraid of being defeated."

An Ning nodded. She was still nervous. The key point was that Xu Yan's long-term cold violence had made her lose her self-confidence in front of them.

"Your Majesty, can you let them in a little later? The princess... needs to calm down." Huang Ye saw that An Ning's hands were shaking with nervousness, so he spoke to the emperor.

"Okay." Seeing An Ning so scared, the emperor felt distressed. He hated the Xu family even more for torturing An Ning into this state.

Huang Ye stood up and walked to An Ning, bending down and resting her head on his chest: "Princess, you must remember that you are the only legitimate princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, your brother is the emperor, and your father is the emperor emeritus. The Xu family is nothing but a piece of shit. You marrying into their family is their good fortune. If they don't cherish you, we will kick them out like garbage."

An Ning calmed down strangely. Huang Bin was right. Why did that family bully her? She was a princess and they had to kneel down and kowtow to her when they saw her.

"Let them in." An Ning raised her head, looked at Huang Ye gratefully, and said softly, "Thank you."

Xu Yan followed his parents in and knelt before the emperor: "Your Highness."

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Stand up." He didn't say anything else, and Eunuch Yu didn't ask anyone to bring them chairs. The three of them just stood awkwardly in the middle of the imperial study.

"I wonder why the emperor called me here?" Father Xu asked cautiously. Although he knew very well that it was because of the quarrel between the princess and her husband, he didn't dare to say anything until the emperor and the princess had spoken.

Huang Ye felt like vomiting when she saw Xu Yan looking up with such a lofty look on his face. And Xu's mother was even more resentful, as if she felt that she was the princess's mother-in-law and how noble she was. She felt deeply that this family were not smart. They had a good hand, but they played it badly. As long as they could curry favor with the princess, they would have wealth and glory.

"Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand. I would like to ask you." Huang Ye's crisp voice rang out: "Everyone in this world knows the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. I am of a low rank, so it's okay for others to look down on me. But the princess is so old, sitting here alone, and no one comes to greet her. I wonder if I have misunderstood. There is no such etiquette in this world."

The emperor had just seen it. These people came in and didn't even look at Huang Shuye and An Ning, let alone greet them. He was about to get angry when Huang Shuye pointed it out. Well, let's see how this family responds.

Xu Yan was unhappy. He looked at An Ning and said, "Princess, my parents are your elders. Instead of bowing to them when you see them, do you want them to bow to you instead, as this Huang Pin said?" This Huang Pin was very popular during the Lantern Festival. Everyone present knew her.

"I am the legitimate princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. Not only were you rude to the princess, but you also spoke wildly. Eunuch Yu, I wonder what the law says about things like this?" An Ning spoke clearly and majestically. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Huang Ye, who winked at her encouragingly and gave her a thumbs up.

"Princess." Mother Xu walked towards An Ning hypocritically and said, "Child, you haven't been home for so many days. Everyone in the mansion misses you. We are here to take you back today. We have already talked to Yan'er about him. It's inevitable that young couples will have temper tantrums. I will ask him to admit his fault to you. Let's go home."

This imperial study made Xu's mother feel obviously depressed. She was a little scared and wanted to persuade An Ning to go back with her as soon as possible. As long as they went back, she was still worried that she would not be obedient. The worst that could happen was that she would just keep a close eye on her and not let her run out casually.

"You haven't greeted me yet." An Ning said the same thing, without greeting, there is no need to discuss anything else.

"Princess, my mother begged you so much, but you still insisted on asking her to perform the ceremony. Where is your filial piety?" Xu Yan held his breath and shouted at An Ning.

"It's not just her, it's you." An Ning has already started to adapt to this negotiation: "I am a princess. Apart from my father, mother, and the emperor, everyone who sees me must bow."

"You..." Xu Yan was still stubborn and was pulled behind by his father: "Your humble servant greets the princess and Concubine Huang." He bent down and motioned to Xu's mother and Xu Yan to follow him in paying their respects.

Xu Yan and his mother were helpless. The emperor was still looking at them with a sullen face. They could only hastily bow and say, "Greetings, Princess."

"No need to be so polite." An Ning raised her hand, feeling extremely happy. How stupid she was before, not knowing how to use her status to suppress them. Unfortunately, she might not have the chance again in the future, because she would never see this disgusting family again.
