Chapter 399: Father Yue'e's weirdness
Huangfu Xinyue took advantage of the fact that he was not in the imperial city to have people make trouble for the queen. After being robbed, the queen's pockets were already stretched to the limit.
Huangfu Xinyue had people go to his secret shop to cause trouble and put drugs in it, causing him to not only lose a lot of money, but also close several shops.
The Queen was so angry that she smashed and cursed in the palace. Seeing this, her confidant hurriedly tried to stop her. They didn't have much money left, and if they continued to smash, they wouldn't even have anything to use in an emergency...
The queen became even angrier after being advised by her confidant. How could the queen of a country be so poor that no one would believe her?
Crackling, another smash...
Now the confidant stopped trying to persuade her, fearing that the more she persuaded, the more angry the queen would be. As expected, the confidant stopped trying to persuade her, and the queen stopped smashing the wall.
However, when he saw the mess on the ground, he was dumbfounded and turned around to curse at his confidant;
"￥@%Why don't you stop me?" Confidant: "..."Are you okay? What do I want to ask? How can I stop him?
The confidant knelt down towards the queen;
"I deserve to die, please spare my life, Master..."
The Queen said with an expression that she didn't care about it;
"I will fine you half a year's salary, and this will not happen again. Okay, I'm tired, go get someone to clean up this place..."
After saying this, he hurried into the inner room without caring about his confidant's mood.
The confidant stood there in disbelief, his hands clenched into fists. A fine of half a year's salary?
Finally, he sighed again and resigned himself to asking someone to clean up the ceramic fragments on the ground.

Some days later, Huangfu Xinyue returned in time for the little princess's full moon banquet.
In the envious eyes of many people, a piece of Lantian jade as big as an adult's head was presented.
There are flowers and children playing carved on it, which are lifelike.
There are people who know the value of things in the crowd.
"Is this the legendary Lantian jade?"
"The carvings on it are so beautiful..."
"This fifteenth prince really loves his sister! This Lantian jade is so rare! I heard that he was almost framed some time ago.
Fortunately, he left the imperial city early, otherwise he would have been slandered..."
"Yes! Yes! That Wu...Xu is really bad..."
"Oh! Stop talking, we are on someone else's territory..."
There were people muttering in the crowd, saying that his gift was the most expensive. Huangfu Xinyue also heard these conversations, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He was very satisfied to hear these contents.
The Queen, Empress, Imperial Noble, and Yue'e's Father all sat on the upper seats. Today was not only the little princess's full moon banquet,
It was also a happy event that Yue'e's father had a daughter and was promoted to an imperial noble lord, a double happiness.
The fourth princess, the seventh princess and the other princes were somewhat glad that they had given gifts earlier, otherwise, they would not be able to present them at all.
The Queen and the other Imperial Noble Consort secretly gnashed their teeth, but their smiles were brighter than flowers.
After the Queen made some speeches, she hugged the little princess again and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Queen, who whispered jokingly;
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you agreed to last night?"
The Queen saw the Queen's eyes sweeping over the many princes, so she laughed it off;
"Empress, I forgot to tell you last night that you can handle the marriages of the other princes, but don't worry about the marriage of the fifteenth prince..."
"why?"
The Queen asked in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
"I promised you that I would not take care of Fifteen's marriage..."
"Your Majesty, why did you agree to this? The child's marriage is decided by the mother and father, and by the matchmaker.
It has been natural since ancient times. I am the heir of a country, so why can't I decide his marriage?"
Being questioned by the Queen, the Queen's good mood disappeared, and she said sullenly;
"Queen, what are you doing? Questioning me?"
Hearing this, the queen realized belatedly what she had done. Her face immediately turned pale and she moved her lips.
Without waiting for him to speak, the Queen glared at him and put on a smiling face for everyone;
"I have something else to do with the Queen, please feel free to do as you please..."
"Farewell, Queen..."
As soon as the empress left, the queen immediately followed behind. Huang Guijun and Yue'e's father had also heard the quarrel between the two.
The Emperor glanced at Yue'e's father and said sarcastically;
"My brother is really capable!"
Father Yue looked at Huangfu Xinyue below, and said with a smile on his face;
"I can't compare to my brother. My brother is the real talent. After so many years in the palace, he even learned to sing opera..."
Singing an opera? What does this mean? Huang Guijun looked puzzled, and turned his head to see that Yue'e's father's mouth was always raised, and his brows were slightly frowned;
"Are you being sarcastic to me?"
"My brother doesn't dare..."ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
"It's better this way. Don't think you can do whatever you want now that you have the Queen's support. There are more than one man in the harem, and the Queen can't favor only you..."
In response to the threat from the Emperor, Father Yue said calmly;
"Thank you for your teachings, brother. I will keep them in mind. I hope you will regain your favor soon..."
"you.."
The Emperor was irritated by Yue'e's father, and glared at him fiercely, cursing under his breath;
"Don't know what's good for you..."
He then said he was not feeling well and left the party.
The two of them left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. Father Yuee waved his hand and said with a smile;
"I'm old, I just can't sit still..."
Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing. This noble emperor was really bold and not afraid of offending others. The masters of the Taifu and the others looked at each other with a smile.
When Yue'e's father saw that everyone had finished laughing and the atmosphere became a little tense, he amiably talked about some topics that made people feel relaxed.
Seeing that the scene suddenly became lively again, Huangfu Xinyue secretly gave a thumbs up to Yue'e's father. The father and son smiled at each other, raised their glasses and started drinking.
Huang Guijun, who had just left, heard what Yue'e's father said and was so angry that he almost stumbled.
He clutched the handkerchief tightly in his hand, his face livid;
"How dare you, Wang Zhaojun, say that I am old? I will not let you go..."
Hearing this, his confidant quickly looked around and whispered;
"Master, don't talk here..."
The Royal Highness glanced at the guards on both sides, rolled his eyes, and snorted;
"What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to say anything, I will kill her and her entire clan..."
The guards on both sides looked solemn, staring straight ahead, and it was obvious that they hadn't heard or seen anything.
Hearing this, the confidant stopped trying to persuade him. After all, his master was of high status, and he also felt that the king's words were too much.
What singing opera, what getting old, the master doesn't know what it means, how could he not know?
Singing opera means that the master is smiling, and when he is old, he is mocking his master's old age.
This was really too much. Even if the master didn't say anything, he wanted to teach him a lesson.
He has just been promoted to a higher position, but he already looks down on others. If he is allowed to remain in favor for a while longer,
Wouldn't that mean I would have to ride on my master's head and pee?
The confidant thought indignantly, and when he returned to the emperor's bedroom, he took advantage of the fact that no one was around and told the emperor what he was thinking.
