Tang Qiyuan nodded immediately, and decided to follow Sheng Cen to the charity auction. Since there are hypocrites there, it should be interesting.
He quickly finished his nutritious porridge, took a shower, and changed into the clothes Sheng Cen had prepared for him, which wasted a while.
When he and Sheng Cen went downstairs, he had already cleaned himself up, and he was gone. When he had a fever, he looked like a wilted cabbage.
He was wearing a little black dress, which set off his slender legs, and he had black hair and eyes. Even when he was sick, his complexion was better than ordinary people.
Empress Xia couldn't help smiling when she saw him coming down, and asked softly, "Xiao Qi, has the fever gone?"
"Yeah." Tang Qiyuan nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm sorry for the trouble, Auntie, I made you worry."
Empress Xia patted his hand, "You child, don't be so polite to me."
Tang Qiyuan smiled, and looked down to see Sheng Xi in a wheelchair wearing a white dress, a little surprised, "Brother, are you going there too?"
"Yeah." Sheng Xi smiled, looked at Tang Qiyuan and said, "I'm going to join in the fun today too."
"Brother, you..." Sheng Cen frowned, squatting in front of Sheng Xi hesitating to speak, his brows and eyes were full of worry.
"It's okay." Sheng Xi knew what he was worried about, smiled, and sighed softly: "I should go out for a walk too."
In the past, he always hid in this world, thinking that an active life would be good, but he didn't know that his mother and younger brother had always borne the gossip for him, and he couldn't be weak any longer.
"Okay." Sheng Cen looked at his firm eyes, nodded slightly, stood up and pushed him to go out.
Empress Xia and Tang Qiyuan followed behind them, and they smiled at the same time, their eyes filled with soft sparkles.
When they arrived, almost all the guests had already arrived.
Tang Qiyuan stood in the resplendent hall, looked at the crowd of people who were drinking and drinking, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Everyone here was smiling, but it was true as Sheng Cen said, it was all hypocrisy when pushing cups and changing cups .
As soon as they walked in, everyone's eyes were attracted, and they all focused on them. After saluting, they started whispering.
When the emperor saw them, he frowned slightly and walked over. Sheng Lian followed behind him. Sheng Lian was wearing a suit, and the expression between his eyebrows and eyes was somewhat similar to his, but Sheng Lian's facial features looked more like Mrs. Zhenwei.
Madam Zhenwei cannot appear on such an occasion. Even if His Majesty loves her again, he would not dare to talk to everyone for her. In the final analysis, this Majesty is always selfish. If he was not selfish, he would not have For the sake of power, I married Empress Xia, let alone marry Empress Xia again, go out selfishly, and disregard my two sons.
Sheng Lian is different from his mother, he is the emperor's biological son after all, so everyone keeps one eye open and one eye closed, pretending that they don't know his identity.
In the past few years, the emperor kept suppressing the Xia family, and fewer and fewer people dared to complain for the empress, so the emperor led Sheng Lian to appear in front of everyone more and more.
The emperor approached with a look of surprise, and several people greeted him according to the rules.
Sheng Lian followed behind the emperor without hesitation. With a wicked smile on his lips, he saluted Empress Xia. Empress Xia nodded dignifiedly, not paying attention to Sheng Lian's overbearing attitude. .
The emperor looked down at Sheng Xi, frowned, and asked in a bad tone, "Why are you here?"
Sheng Xi raised his head and smiled, "Come to celebrate your birthday."
"No need, you go back and have a good rest." The emperor's expression darkened, and there was a hint of reprimand in his voice.
"I've had enough rest." Sheng Xi smiled, looked up at the emperor, and asked persistently, "I'm here to celebrate your birthday, aren't you happy?"
The emperor frowned even tighter, he was extremely displeased with Sheng Xi's abnormal attitude, but there were many people looking at him, so he couldn't treat Sheng Xi wrongly in front of everyone, so he didn't answer, but turned his head Look at Tang Qiyuan.
His eyes sank, as if he had found a way to vent his anger, he gave Empress Xia a cold look, "Who is he, did I ask you to bring anyone here?"
Before Empress Xia could speak, Tang Qiyuan took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, my name is Tang Qiyuan. I'm a classmate of His Royal Highness. I just happened to be in the Lan Palace today. I know it's your birthday. Thank you very much." Congratulations on behalf of my father."
"Your father is..." the emperor looked at him hesitantly.
"Father Tombert."
"Oh... so you are the son of General Tang." The emperor suddenly changed his attitude, smiled, looked at Tang Qiyuan, and praised: "You are young, and you are a talent. General Tang is very lucky."
The issue of military power has always been a serious concern for him, so he naturally dare not underestimate Tang Bote, so he also takes Tang Qiyuan seriously.
Tang Qiyuan smiled, and she had the right to answer. After the emperor knew Tang Qiyuan's identity, his attitude towards Tang Qiyuan was even better than that of Sheng Xi. Tang Qiyuan couldn't help but feel a little sad for Sheng Xi.
The emperor stood still and praised Tang Qiyuan a few more words, and then left with Sheng Lian.
After the emperor left, Sheng Cen couldn't help but sneered coldly, raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Empress Xia knelt down and patted Sheng Xi's hand comfortingly.
Sheng Xi smiled indifferently, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Sheng Cen put down the wine glass, took a glass of juice and handed it to Tang Qiyuan, "My brother hasn't eaten yet, you can accompany my brother to eat something."
He and Empress Xia were going to socialize, he didn't want Tang Qiyuan and Sheng Xi to worry about these matters.
Tang Qiyuan made no objection, nodded, and pushed Sheng Xi to sit on the sofa. Many people around were secretly looking at them and sizing up Sheng Xi's legs.
They guessed Sheng Xi's identity the moment they saw the wheelchair, and they were naturally very curious about this eldest prince who hadn't been out for a long time.
Tang Qiyuan and Sheng Xi pretended not to see their eyes, and went about their own business.
According to Sheng Xi's taste, Tang Qiyuan picked a lot of food for Sheng Xi and put them in front of Sheng Yi. He had just got a fever and didn't dare to eat anything, so he only held the juice that Sheng Cen gave him just now, and bowed his head from time to time. Take a sip or two.
He and Sheng Xi are very speculative in temper and personality, and they talk very easily together, so sitting here is not boring.
After a while, a young Omega came over, sat across from them, smiled leisurely at Sheng Xi, "Hello, Your Highness."
Sheng Xi nodded, but smiled without saying a word. He lowered his head and ate a cherry. He didn't like socializing in the first place, not to mention that this young man was not friendly at first glance.
The young man nodded to Tang Qiyuan, looked at Sheng Xi with a fake smile, and said, "Your Highness, I heard that your legs..."
He hesitated to take a look at Sheng Xi's legs, and with an exaggerated 'ah', he stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, "I mean... I heard that you have limited mobility, so you seldom come to parties , I came here to tell you, don’t be cautious, eat what you want, drink what you want, and you can ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
Sheng Xi's slender fingers pinched the cup tightly, pursed his lips and said nothing, many people talked about him behind his back, but few people dared to make trouble in front of him without any scruples.
The reason why this young man dares to do this now is because the Xia family has lost power, and the second is because Mrs. Zhenwei is getting more and more favored.
Tang Qiyuan raised her head to look at the young man's face, frowned, thought carefully, and only after a while did she realize that he seemed to be a child of Mrs. Zhenwei's sister's family.
Mrs. Zhenwei's younger sister is a celebrity and often appears on TV. Her child looks very similar to her and has also appeared on TV several times. If Tang Qiyuan remembers correctly, it seems to be called Ding Ou, Ding Ou's father It should be an official from the empire, that's why he can come to this party, but the biggest support of their family is Mrs. Zhenwei, so Ding Ou deliberately came to find fault, trying to curry favor with Sheng Lian.
Tang Qiyuan raised his head, and as expected, Sheng Lian was standing not far away, looking at this side with a look on his face, and there were many men and women standing beside him, all of them had the same expressions as Sheng Lian , as Mrs. Zhenwei gained power, more and more people were courting Sheng Lian.
Tang Qiyuan brought the cake in front of Sheng Xi to Sheng Xi, blinked innocently and asked, "This is His Highness's home, why would His Highness be so cautious when eating at his own home?"
There are only a few people in the empire who can call the imperial palace their home, and Sheng Lian is not included in these few people, and Ding Ou is naturally not included in front of them.
When Ding Ou heard his words, the smile on his face instantly froze. No matter what his leg injury was, Sheng Xi was a legitimate eldest prince. There was no doubt about his identity, and this resplendent palace was his home.
Ding Ou paused for a while with an ugly expression on his face, and then he calmed down. First, he glared at Tang Qiyuan, then looked at Sheng Xi, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Your Highness really doesn't need to be restrained in your own home, but His Highness stays for a long time. Lan Gong, I don't see His Majesty very often, and I can't come to this palace often, so I will inevitably be nervous in front of His Majesty and others, and I lack some rules."
He was implying that His Majesty doted on Mrs. Zhenwei and didn't often go to the queen's residence, and he was also saying that Sheng Xi seldom went out, so he didn't know the rules.
Tang Qiyuan became angry when he heard that Mrs. Zhenwei seduced His Majesty when He had a wife, but Ding Ou was not ashamed, but proud, which is really unacceptable.
Before Tang Qiyuan had time to speak, Sheng Xi, who had been silently standing still, looked up at Ding Ou, and suddenly said lightly, "Rules? What are rules? In front of the father, what he said is naturally the rules."
Sheng Xi lifted his lips slightly, and changed the subject, "In front of you, what I say is also a rule." He looked at Ding Ou, and said word by word: "Now I order you to disappear from my presence."
Ding Ou's face turned pale, looking at Sheng Xi, he was almost speechless with anger, "You..."
But he couldn't refute at all, he couldn't continue to say "you" for a long time, Sheng Xi is the eldest prince, in front of him, what Sheng Xi said was an order, and as he was, he could only obey.
Tang Qiyuan sat on the side, pretending to take a sip of the fruit juice with her head up, and couldn't help but smile on her lips.
He now believes in the saying 'a rabbit in a hurry will bite'. Sheng Xi is indeed Sheng Cen's brother, and he is exactly the same as Sheng Cen when he loses his temper. One feels out of breath.
