Chapter 857 The Crown Prince Misbehaves (1/2)
The smile at the corners of Xia Huanyu's mouth was somewhat ironic. After listening to Xia Houjing for such a long time, he nodded and said, ”Really? So you have made a great contribution. When this matter is settled, you will be rewarded for your contribution.”
Hearing this, Xia Houjing seemed very happy. He kowtowed several times and pretended to be humble. ”I just did a little bit to stabilize the state of Xia.”
Xia Huanyu glanced at him coldly and said, ”That's it for today. I'll deal with it later. The Palace needs to be cleaned up. You can go back home first.”
Yun Shang, Luo Qingyan and Xia Houjing immediately obeyed the Emperor and slowly left the Taiji Palace.
The three walked down the long stone steps together. Xia Houjing turned to look at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, with a smile on his face. ”I heard that today is the full moon party of the eldest son of Your Hignesses Crown Prince and Crown Princess. I wonder if I have the honor to have a drink at my nephew's party?”
Luo Qingyan didn't respond. Yun Shang smiled and said, ”Of course, you are welcome.”
Xia Houjing seemed to be very happy. He grinned and said, ”Thank you, Your Highness Crown Princess. I've just entered the city and I've been in a mess after the long trip. It's not appropriate to meet guests like this. I'll go back to my mansion and change my clothes. Then I'll come to your mansion to congratulate you.”
After getting down the stone steps, Xia Houjing stood in front of the carriage and waited for Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang to get on it. He didn't get on his carriage until their carriage started.
Yun Shang opened the curtain and looked at the staggering figure of the seventh Prince. The corners of her mouth were slightly curled up. ”It's getting more and more difficult to see through the seventh Prince.”
Luo Qingyan smiled, ”You don't need to see through him. Spare your time to look at me.”
It took Yun Shang a long time to realize that Luo Qingyan was flirting with her. She glared at Luo Qingyan and stopped talking.
Luo Qingyan smiled and stopped joking. ”He has a grudge against you when you were in the Lingxi City. You need to be careful.”
Without Luo Qingyan's reminder, Yun Shang knew she should be careful. She nodded and leaned on Luo Qingyan's shoulder, thinking about something.
After a while, Yun Shang frowned and suddenly sat up straight. ”It suddenly occurred to me that Hua Yutong hadn't shown up at the banquet.”
