[Quick Wear] The male lead is coming to the bowl

Chapter 51: Imperial Sister 20

    Yu Tao was sensitive to Huo Zheng's abnormal behavior tonight. It was obvious that when he was outside the Great Wall, he almost counted the days and looked forward to the day when he would return to Yanjing. However, when he returned to Yanjing today, he was not as impatient as she imagined. Even when Jun Yan appeared at the banquet, he did not even look at him.

    What happened to him?

    Yu Tao frowned, and her eyes shuttled back and forth between the princess and Huo Zheng. Although Huo Zheng's behavior was a little unusual tonight, Yu Tao still felt heavy in her heart. If she was not wrong, Huo Zheng would ask the emperor for permission tonight.

    In this situation, even if she wanted to stop him, she had no way. Jun Yan was of noble status and was a princess who was deeply favored by the emperor. She could not compete with her at all, but if she was asked to be Huo Zheng's concubine, she would definitely not want to.

    She, Yu Tao, also had her own pride and would never be a concubine to a man.

    Just as everyone was thinking about it, the eunuch's shrill voice resounded through the palace, "The emperor has arrived--"

    The civil and military officials immediately knelt down and shouted long live the emperor. The emperor sat down before letting people stand up.

    After the banquet, Emperor Cheng Zhao summoned Huo Zheng to reward him. The more Emperor Cheng Zhao looked at his son, the more satisfied he was. He asked Huo Zheng with a smile, "My dear, I will try my best to satisfy you today! Don't let me down, hahaha!"

    Huo Zheng knelt in front of the prince. He didn't know how many times he had imagined such a scene in his mind. He thought that he would unswervingly ask His Majesty to give him the Princess of Qin. Maybe His Majesty would be reluctant to marry his daughter, but he would show his sincerity with his actions. Even if it angered the emperor, he wanted His Majesty!

    However, now that the scene he had been thinking about day and night really happened, he didn't even have the courage to say a word. It was as if he had a thousand pounds to speak. Bitterness was churning in his chest. He lowered his eyebrows and bowed his hands, saying with difficulty: "I... don't have any rewards I want. With Your Majesty's praise, I am already satisfied!"

    After Huo Zheng finished speaking, Jun Yan's pretty face under the veil turned pale. Before going to the battle, he clearly said that he would ask his father to marry him. Jun Yan stared at Huo Zheng in disbelief, not understanding what had happened to make him go back on his word and break his promise to him.

    However, Huo Zheng did not have the courage to look up. Every word he said was like a knife cutting into his heart, causing him to bleed and hurt. He clenched his trembling hands, forcing himself not to lose manners in front of the emperor, but out of sight of everyone, his eyes were already red from staying up all night.

    Emperor Cheng Zhao did not feel how agitated Huo Zheng was, but Huo Zheng's answer made him somewhat dissatisfied. Emperor Cheng Zhao frowned and said, "Really? My dear, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't you really want to seize it? Even if you want a beauty, or ask me to help you get married, I can agree!"

    Emperor Cheng Zhao had already said this, but Huo Zheng was still unmoved -

    "To reply to your majesty, I... really didn't!" After saying it the first time, the second
