C33 (1/2)
Cheng Lin Palace was bathed in the beautiful sunset, and quietly stood within the Shangjing's imperial palace.
After an unknown period of time, as if a very long time had passed, or as if a moment had passed, everyone in the palace woke up from their stupor, and immediately looked unkindly at the mastermind, Fang Yunlong.
Fang Tianshui stood up and turned to scold Fang Yunlong, ”Unfilial son, you actually howled like this in the palace, scaring His Majesty and the empress dowager.
With that, she kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, ”Your Majesty, this is my son, Fang Yunlong. This subject has no means to help my son, so today I have offended Your Majesty, offending the empress dowager, the princes, and the envoys of the countries. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
Hearing his father's words, Fang Yunlong did not care about the dizziness he felt anymore and knelt down obediently, saying, ”Your majesty, this is the first time this subject has heard such a heavenly sound.
”This commoner does not know how to express his feelings, so he could not help but applaud loudly, offending the Emperor. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Although Fang Yunlong kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, the officials still looked at Fang Yunlong unkindly. The minister who had caused his behavior to become ugly because of Fang Yunlong's loud shout certainly hated Fang Yunlong to the core.
Those ministers who were shaken to the point of vomiting blood by Fang Yunlong's side all hated him to the bone. However, because of the Right Prime Minister Tian Shui, none of them dared to speak out. For a moment, no one came out to criticize Fang Yunlong, requesting for punishment from the Emperor.
However, the royal family descendants who were sitting not far from Fang Yunlong did not care about all this. They were all shaken to the point that their Qi and blood also surged.
Other than those who were shrewd or had a good relationship with Fang Tianshui, all the other princes came forward and requested for the emperor to punish Fang Yunlong severely, so as to serve as an example. However, Fang Yunlong was puzzled by the fact that the De King sat there as steady as a mountain, and did not even ask for a punishment.
Seeing the dukes below arguing intensely about how to punish Fang Yunlong, the young Emperor's face sank and said: ”Hmph, you are all descendants of the Imperial Family, how is it proper for you to be making such a ruckus in the Imperial Palace? Hurry up and sit down.”
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the many dukes apologized one after another before sitting down, waiting quietly for the emperor's punishment on Fang Yunlong.
Looking at Fang Tianshui and Fang Yunlong who were kneeling on the ground, the Emperor said, ”Today is the empress dowager's sixtieth birthday. Her Majesty, Hong Fu, has brought along such a heavenly voice that even I am intoxicated by it, not to mention Fang Yunlong, a commoner.
Upon hearing those words, he couldn't help but clap his hands in applause. It was within reason. However, the sound seems to be too loud, so you should pay more attention in the future, and not easily cause a ruckus in the palace.
Just as the emperor finished speaking, a smile appeared on the empress dowager's face. Her previous anger was gone as she said, ”Your majesty's words are reasonable. This Dowager heard the zither music just now.”
It's really unheard-of, it can be said to be the number one zither technique, looks like Fang Yunlong's cheers are reasonable, but in the future you have to pay attention, don't be so loud and noisy. ”
Upon hearing the empress dowager's words, the Emperor said to Fang Tianshui, ”Fang Yunlong is young and ignorant, but because of the incompetence of the godson of Fang Siniang, you will be punished to stay at home and meditate tomorrow. You should properly educate your children.
After hearing the Emperor's punishment, Fang Tianshui and Fang Yunlong hurriedly thanked him. However, Fang Yunlong was secretly laughing in his heart, thinking about what he had done, which was clearly to let his father think of a way to solve the current difficulties at home.
After this small interlude, Yimeng had already understood what was going on and laughed bitterly to herself. So he was actually not Cheng Yi, but the son of the right side of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Shui, Fang Yunlong.
After knowing about Fang Yunlong's background, Yimeng did not feel the slightest bit of joy, and even felt that it would be good if he was just Cheng Yi.
