Chapter 15 - Playing dumb

At the same time, she knew that it was time for her to free herself. Under such high pressure, she did not want to stay here for even a second longer.

She shifted her steps and hid behind Chu Yi Chen. She gave him a light tug and whispered, ”My prince, I want to go home …”

Chu Yi Chen turned his head to look at her, and slightly nodded his head: ”Alright! This King will bring you home now... ”

”Young Emperor Uncle …” When the Emperor heard this, he immediately shouted once more.

”The emperor also knows that this prince's wangfei's mind isn't quite complete. This sort of situation has never happened before, so it's natural for her to be afraid. I hope the emperor won't take offense. This prince will take her away right now.” Chu Yi Chen said indifferently.

”Sigh …” The emperor sighed helplessly. ”Whatever …” Don't scare the Little Imperial Aunt anymore … ”

The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth raised slightly. He immediately put it away, held her hand, bowed to the emperor, and turned to leave.

”Although the Prince Ling is an honorable imperial uncle, he has never paid attention to the etiquette within the palace. Even the royal family's wedding has to be done as an offering to their ancestors. Is the imperial uncle thinking of going against the ancestral system?” The empress's crisp voice sounded from behind him.

”Empress, Imperial Uncle doesn't have to …” The emperor immediately called out to stop him.

”Of course not. As a member of the royal family, when there are no elders, it is necessary to worship the ancestors. I hope that the royal uncle will step into the ancestral hall and kowtow to the ancestors!” The empress interrupted the emperor, her tone firm.

Zhuo Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief. This was a battlefield without smoke. The problem was that she did not know the rules here, what should she do next?

Chu Yi Chen abruptly turned his head to glare at the empress sitting in the hall. ”Empress, as for matters of ancestors, there will be a department of ceremonies to tell this duke how to do them. Furthermore, the matter of offering sacrifices to the ancestors has already been done yesterday at the wedding ceremony.

The empress stared at him with plaintive eyes, the corners of her mouth turning into a thin line.

The expressions of the other concubines in the hall were quite marvelous. There were all sorts of expressions; some were contemptuous, some were disdainful, some were nonchalant, and some were pouting. In any case, none of them were good.

Zhuo Qingyan did not give the empress another chance to speak as she forcefully flung Chu Yi Chen's hand away. ”You only know how to lie. I'm not playing with you anymore …”

This sudden development caused everyone to be stunned. At the same time, some people started to worry about this Little Princess, wasn't her guts a little too big?

”Qingyan …” Chu Yi Chen was also stunned for a moment, before softly calling her name.

”You said it, there's fun here, delicious food, but where is it? I want to go home …” I'm not here anymore... ”I want to go home …” Zhuo Qingyan stood there waving her arms.

”Alright …” Go Home... Don't make a fuss... ”Be good …” Chu Yi Chen was currently in a very good mood.

He really didn't expect Zhuo Qingyan to leave so easily and act out in front of so many people.

The empress was so angry that her face turned blue. She bit her lower lip as if she wanted to eat it.

The Emperor was even more dumbfounded. The Ling Wang that was always so wild and unruly, how could he treat a little girl with such care?

When Chu Yi Chen hugged the noisy Zhuo Qingyan in her arms and turned around to look, the emperor immediately nodded and waved his hand. ”Royal Uncle, please do as you please. But don't hurt Little Imperial Aunt …”

”This official will take his leave!” After Chu Yi Chen finished speaking, he carried her out of the hall.

It wasn't that the Emperor wasn't curious. After they left the palace, he rose to his feet and followed behind them. The other imperial concubines, upon seeing them, all moved over to watch the commotion as well.

The two of them had only gone down a few steps when Zhuo Qingyan staggered. It was a good thing that Chu Yi was holding on tightly to her, otherwise, she would have really rolled down.

Then, an astonishing scene appeared. Chu Yi Chen squatted in front of her, and she naturally laid down on his back. Chu Yi Chen carried her on his back, and walked out of the palace.
