Chapter 226: Direct response, protection
Jing'an is really good at talking.
Nian Gengyao was so furious at Fu Cha Fude's blatant mockery that he no longer cared about the Fu Cha family. He stood up and prepared to fight back.
The emperor saw that something was not right and wanted to protect Jing'an, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Jing'an is young and speaks without restraint. Is Lianggong going to argue with him?"
After the emperor said this, if he continued to care about it, wouldn't he be considered a bully of the weak? He had no choice but to swallow his anger.
When Concubine Nian saw her brother being bullied like this, she was naturally very angry, but as a concubine in the harem, she certainly couldn't say anything directly to Fucha Fude in such a situation.
She had no choice but to transfer her anger to Fu Cha Zhixi, and she glared at Fu Cha Zhixi fiercely several times.
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally did not miss Concubine Nian's glare. She looked over coldly, with no intention of backing down at all in her eyes.
Since my third brother has chosen to stand against Nian Gengyao, how can I, as his younger sister, be afraid of Concubine Nian?
The emperor looked at the two pairs of siblings confronting each other and seemed to be somewhat pleased to see it happen.
After all, if the Fucha family could confront the Nian family, it would save him a lot of trouble when dealing with the Nian family in the future.
"When we're having a meal together as a family, there's no need to be so polite. Standing up and sitting down all the time seems strange."
The emperor smiled and looked at Fu Cha Fu De and Nian Gengyao with a friendly look.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Fucha Fude stood up very respectfully and politely to express his gratitude.
"Alright, alright, sit down quickly. Didn't I tell you not to be so polite? Just treat this as an ordinary family gathering."
When the emperor saw that Fu Cha Fu De insisted on performing the salute, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
It turns out that Xier and her brother are too knowledgeable about the rules.
"I forgot."
Fucha Fude scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and smiled foolishly at the emperor.
The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw Fu Cha Fu De's simple and honest appearance.
Nian Gengyao couldn't help rolling his eyes at Fu Cha Fu De's pretentious appearance. What a villain he was, he only knew how to flatter and please.
But the emperor who was sitting at the top saw this roll of eyes clearly, and he secretly took note of it in his heart.
As they were talking, a group of young eunuchs brought out another dish of roasted lamb.
"This roasted mutton is tender and delicious. I think it tastes good. I remember that you, Liang Gong, always like to eat mutton. Would you like to try it?"
The emperor's smile remained on his face, and he waved to Nian Gengyao and said.
When Nian Gengyao saw that the emperor still remembered him, his expression improved a little.
However, he still had no intention of replying. He waved away the eunuch who was about to pick up some food for him, and took a bite of mutton with his chopsticks.
Such an action was extremely rude. Concubine Nian on the opposite side suddenly changed her expression when she saw her brother's action.
What happened to my brother today?
Why do you always do things that violate taboos?
Concubine Nian subconsciously turned her head to look at the emperor, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the emperor looked normal.
Fortunately, the emperor did not hold it against my brother, otherwise my brother would be doomed.
"This dish is quite good, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Brother, the emperor has given a banquet and the palace servants are required to serve and serve the dishes. I'm afraid that brother has been at the border for too long, so he has forgotten the palace rules. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Concubine Nian took the initiative to explain Nian Gengyao's behavior as unintentional, and hoped that the emperor would not be angry with her brother.
Seeing his sister's pleading look, Nian Gengyao softened his tone, turned to the emperor and began to explain.
"I was disrespectful in front of the emperor. I hope the emperor will not blame me. I do not have a deep understanding of the palace rules."
Fu Cha Zhixi sneered in his heart. This Nian Gengyao was even more arrogant and domineering than he looked in the TV series. It was even almost as if the word "arrogance" was written on his face.
Not only will these words fail to calm the emperor, they will make him even angrier.
What on earth did Nian Gengyao eat to make him so bold? He can be regarded as a pioneer in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement.
As a person who grew up under the red flag and received modern education, I would not dare to be so arrogant in front of a feudal emperor.
"You've been away fighting, and there are so many rules in this palace that it's harmless to be a little careless."
"Today's banquet is a family banquet. There is no need for us to be so careful and follow the rules."
The emperor suppressed his unhappiness and waved his hand at Nian Gengyao.
"As a subject of the Emperor, I must abide by the royal rules when attending a banquet in the palace."
Nian Gengyao's face looked dull, without a trace of smile on his face.
"This rule is to remind the emperor and his subjects of the etiquette, not to restrict relatives. Everyone present is my relative, so there is no need to be restrained."
The emperor smiled and spoke.
"Same goes for Jing'an, no need to be so polite."
"Your sister always abides by the rules in the palace, and you, as her brother, are also polite and courteous."
The emperor naturally would not ignore Fucha Fude, and spoke in a kind tone.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"As the emperor's concubine, my sister must abide by the rules of the palace. These are what she should do."
"As for me, I am first your subject and then your relative, so I cannot break the rules."
Fu Cha Fu De did not stand up this time, but sat obediently in his seat. He saluted respectfully towards the emperor with his fists clasped before speaking in reply.
"You, the people of the Fucha family all know the rules."
The emperor's words sounded like a reproach, but his tone was full of satisfaction with Fu Cha Fude.
After all, as an emperor, he can let his subordinates not follow the rules, but if his subordinates really don't follow the rules, he naturally won't be happy.
Only someone like Fu Cha Fu De who abides by the rules is the loyal subject he wants.
"Your Majesty, why do you mention me when you talk about my brother?"
Fu Cha Zhixi rarely spoke, and said to the emperor with a smile.
"You two are brother and sister, so I naturally think of you when I talk about Jing'an."
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi tenderly and said.
"You've always liked this bird's nest duck dish, why don't you try it?"
"Jing'an, I don't know if your sister's dish suits your taste."
"The cooking skills of the chefs in His Majesty's kitchen are naturally impeccable. I must try them carefully. Otherwise, if I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I will be able to eat them again next time."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled at the emperor, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet eased a little.
"Jingan, you saw it."
"Your sister always has so many witty remarks, as if I have treated her unfairly."
A helpless yet doting smile appeared on the emperor's face.
Concubine Nian watched the interaction between the emperor and Fucha Zhixi and felt extremely jealous.
This little bitch dared to seduce the emperor in front of him, and I don’t know what she does in private.
