Chapter 705: Both are daughters of the Shu family, but why is there such a big difference?
The smoky atmosphere here was finally noticed by the emperor.
He frowned and looked at Prince Zhao and Prince Nanyu with a slightly warning look.
"Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, what are you doing? Today is Seventh Brother's wedding. It's such an important day, and you can't even say something festive?"
I just warned you a few days ago, and now you're becoming restless again?
Seeing the emperor coming, those who were watching the excitement outside stopped talking and paid close attention to the development of the matter.
Baili Moqi bowed to Emperor Qiwen and said with a grin, "Father, I was just joking, but Princess Ziyan and Sister-in-law Qi took it seriously..."
"Are you kidding?" Zhang Zhirou stood a little in front of Shu He and said coldly, "If Prince Nanyu said in front of everyone on the day of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao's wedding that he wanted to marry Princess Zhao, Your Highness Prince Zhao, would you still think it was a joke?"
King Zhao's expression changed slightly, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Zhirou.
She couldn't have chosen anyone else as an example, but she chose Old Nine! Everyone in Kyoto knew that Shen Ziyan was going to marry Old Nine from the beginning! If it weren't for the incident at Shanghe Mansion, he wouldn't have been able to marry Shen Ziyan.
Zhang Zhirou's words slapped both Lao Ba and Lao Jiu in the face!
Zhang Zhirou had no intention of letting it go and continued to taunt, "Don't say you would! After all, Princess Zi Yan was simply ignorant of Tianqi customs and slapped him without permission, which made the prince furious! If someone really said something like that, with Prince Zhao's temper, he would probably be so angry that he would kill someone, right?"
After Zhang Zhirou finished speaking, Shu He saw Baili Moqi's gloomy and dangerous expression, and then he spoke lightly and rebuked him: "Arou, don't be presumptuous in front of the emperor!"
Zhang Zhirou knew that although Shu He seemed to be scolding her, he was actually protecting her. She immediately pouted and stood behind Shu He with an expression of dissatisfaction.
Shu He was actually quite surprised. She didn't expect Zhang Zhirou to be so tough today. She said some things that were not suitable for her to say. She didn't have to fight herself and could just listen. It was really refreshing.
Looking at this situation, how could Emperor Qiwen not guess what had happened?
He glared at Baili Moqi coldly and scolded him, "Old Eight, it's fine if you don't know the seriousness of the matter normally, but today is your seventh brother's wedding, it's Tianqi's big day. If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, then go back home and stay away from going out again!"
Baili Moqi's face froze for a moment after hearing this, but he apologized profusely and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right, I spoke without thinking. I will now apologize to my seventh brother and his wife!"
"Seventh brother, Seventh sister-in-law, Eighth brother is used to being unruly. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"
Zhang Zhirou glanced at him coldly, and felt a little relieved after hearing these words.
Shu He glanced at Shen Ziyan and said calmly, "The one that Prince Zhao should apologize to the most is Princess Zhao, right?"
She saw the resentment in Shen Ziyan's eyes. Don't blame her for being angry with a man for no reason!
Baili Moqi glanced at Shen Ziyan, a hint of disdain on his face. "Princess Ziyan has always been generous. How could she care about this little flaw of mine?"
Shen Ziyan glanced at him coldly, then said to Emperor Qiwen with an angry look on her face: "Your Majesty, I, Shen Ziyan, am the most beloved and noble princess of Beidi. I came to your Tianqi to marry and maintain peace between the two countries, not to suffer bullying!"
"If His Royal Highness Prince Zhao doesn't like Zi Yan, why don't you grant her your permission and let her and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao divorce? From now on, His Royal Highness and I will part ways and wish each other well!"
Shen Ziyan's words caused a lot of discussion.
"Prince Zhao and Princess Zhao have only been married for a few days, right? Why are they getting divorced? Could it be that their relationship is not going well after marriage?"
Someone chuckled softly, "Your Highness Prince Zhao, don't you know? He's such a playboy and amorous. He just said such derogatory words in front of everyone, completely disregarding Princess Zi Yan's dignity. How can this relationship between husband and wife be good?"
When Emperor Qiwen heard this, his expression changed again and again. Were these couples deliberately trying to make him unhappy?
"Princess Zhao, you were the one who chose the Eighth Prince. Now that you've just gotten married, you want to divorce? You're the Princess of Beidi. You can't be so careless as to weigh the pros and cons of this matter, right?"
Shen Ziyan's expression changed again and again. She was resentful and wanted to speak, but she heard the emperor speak again.
"And King Zhao, you are now a married man. If you dare to say such nonsense or do such foolish things again, I will send you to the southwest to be a vassal. You will never have to return to the capital again!"
Emperor Qiwen's words were full of threats and warnings, and also allowed others to see the emperor's attitude towards the eighth prince.
The officials standing on the periphery, especially those who were disciples of Lao Ba, looked at each other, as if they could see the intentions in each other's eyes.
Emperor Qiwen looked at Baili Moqing and Shu He again, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Now it seems that only these two can make him less worried, if they were not such a big threat...that's all!
"Seventh Brother, although you have finished worshipping heaven and earth, there are still many rituals to go through. Don't worry about what's going on outside. Let's get on with the wedding ceremony first!"
Baili Moqing nodded at him, "Yes, I obey your command!"
After Baili Moqing and Shu He left, Emperor Qiwen looked at Baili Moyan and Baili Moqi again, "And you, since we've already congratulated you, why don't you take your seats early? If you don't like the food at Prince Li's mansion, you can go back to your own residence and eat!"
After saying this, he glared at the two of them and said to Liu Qin, "Get ready!"
After seeing the emperor off, the two men looked at each other uncomfortably.
The Third Princess and Prince Yong and his wife were standing at the back. After seeing this, they retreated silently, as if they were unwilling to confront the Eighth and Ninth Princes.
Shen Ziyan also left angrily after the emperor left, but Baili Moqi didn't care at all. He even walked towards the banquet hall in the main hall with a smile on his face.
Baili Moyan's eyes changed slightly, and he shouted at him, "Isn't my brother going back home?"
After hearing this, Baili Moqi turned around and gave him a mysterious smile, "The fun is still to come, how can I leave?"
After Baili Moyan turned around, the smile on his face turned into confusion.
Is it a good show?
How did he know?
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at Shu Yue beside him, and said lightly: "That's your biological sister. How come you don't even have a word of blessing for your sister's wedding?"
Shu Yue lowered her head, her voice slightly hoarse, "Your Highness, Yue'er looks like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize her..."
She had thick makeup on her face, and her whole face was a little swollen, with patches here and there. Plus, she kept her head down, so it was normal that others couldn't recognize her.
Baili Moyan glanced at the young man in the crowd who had been staring at Shu Yue, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He raised his hand and wanted to put it on Shu Yue's shoulder, but she subconsciously made a defensive gesture.
The fear in her eyes deepened, and a hideous and stiff expression of fear appeared on her face.
Baili Moyan's eyes changed slightly, a hint of disgust flashed across his face. He lowered his arm and said softly, "They are both daughters of the Shu family, but why is there such a big difference?"
