Chapter 58 Let Me See Where the Male Lead Is
"We still have other things to do, so Your Majesty, please wait patiently. The Emperor will summon you when he is done." Eunuch Qiao reminded again.

"Thank you, Eunuch Qiao, for your reminder. I will definitely wait patiently." Xu Jinhuai said with a smile.

Eunuch Qiao smiled and nodded, then turned and left with his little apprentice.

After the emperor and the prince offered sacrifices, they went to the empress dowager's longevity palace. He had to go there quickly to serve them, so that other servants would not serve them half-heartedly.

When Eunuch Qiao arrived at the Empress Dowager's Changshou Palace, the Emperor was already having lunch.

Although he didn't understand why the emperor made such an arrangement, he still walked up to the emperor and reported: "Your Majesty, the prince consort is already waiting outside the imperial study."

Emperor Mingde nodded slightly, "Just let him wait there."

The Empress Dowager, Princess Chaoyang and the Crown Prince looked at each other, wondering what Emperor Mingde wanted to do with Xu Jinhuai. Was he going to invite him to the palace banquet in the evening?
Is he worthy of Xu Jinhuai?!

"Emperor, what do you want to do with a prince consort?" The empress dowager was the first one who lost her temper and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Emperor Mingde smiled and said, "During the sacrifice today, I found that the prince consort's attitude was not pious enough and he could not even stand steadily, so I wanted to punish him."

"It's just that the Prince Consort is Qing'er's husband after all. I was worried that punishing him openly would embarrass Qing'er, so I thought of punishing him by making him stand outside the imperial study for a day."

At this point, Emperor Mingde looked at Princess Chaoyang and said, "I wonder if Qing'er will blame her brother?"

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? It was the prince consort who was wrong, and he deserves to be punished." Princess Chaoyang said hurriedly.

Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows, "Qing'er really doesn't feel bad?"

Princess Chaoyang smiled and said, "How could that be? We are already an old couple, how can I still feel sorry for you?"

After saying this, Princess Chaoyang met Emperor Mingde's gaze and said, "If my brother feels that standing for a day is not enough, then it is also okay to punish him for an extra night."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Qing'er and punish him for one more night."

Want to spend the New Year happily with your mistress? No way!
[The punishment is good, the punishment is wonderful, the punishment is awesome! ]

[Uncle Emperor, you are so perceptive, wise, brave, unparalleled, and selfless! ]

[Yaoyao takes back what she said before, the Emperor uncle is not a bad guy, the Emperor uncle is the best uncle! ]

[Hahaha, let the scumbag dad stand outside the imperial study for a day and a night, and see how he can bring his mistress to celebrate the New Year reunion! ]

Thinking of Yu Yue'er and Xu Ruyu's dashed hopes, Xu Yaoyao couldn't stop laughing, and her giggles echoed in every corner of Changshou Palace.

Even the people in the palace were infected by her laughter and started laughing too.

Emperor Mingde looked at Xu Yaoyao in the nanny's arms and listened to her praise. He was in a very good mood and even his lunch tasted much better.

Everyone secretly looked at Princess Chaoyang's expression and found that she didn't seem to be worried about Xu Jinhuai at all. They guessed in their hearts that after Princess Chaoyang knew that Xu Jinhuai had a concubine, she no longer had any deep feelings for him.

But it's better this way. At least they don't have to worry about Princess Chaoyang being sad about this. It's just a pity that Qing'er, whom they love the most, ended up meeting the wrong person.

At the hour of You, Emperor Mingde held a reunion banquet in Ningcai Hall.

Not only did everyone in the harem participate, but even some royal relatives living outside the palace were present.

And Xu Yaoyao's attention was rarely not on the table full of delicious food.

Since it is a royal reunion dinner, then the male protagonist will definitely be there, right?

Where is the hero? Where is the hero? I must see how the hero in this book is so charming and outstanding. Oh, no, the hero is still young now, he should still be a young boy.

Xu Yaoyao's eyes kept moving around the banquet, trying to find the figure of the male protagonist, the Sixth Prince.

Emperor Mingde had a total of six princes.

The eldest prince, Emperor Yan, is exactly eighteen years old this year and is the son of Concubine De.

Because he is the first son of Emperor Mingde, he is arrogant and has always coveted the position of crown prince.

The second prince, Di Yuxuan, was born to Concubine Shu. He was modest and polite, a very gentlemanly man, and he was also very caring towards his younger brother, the Crown Prince.

The third prince is from the imperial court and is the current crown prince, born to the queen. Not only does he have an extraordinary appearance, but there were also strange phenomena when he was born. He is recognized by the entire Fusu Kingdom as the chosen crown prince.

The fourth prince, Di Jingli, was born to Concubine Ya and is the same age as the crown prince. He usually likes to follow behind the crown prince.

The fifth prince, Di Xingying, was born to Concubine Xian. He was frail and sickly since childhood, had a withdrawn personality, and seldom interacted with outsiders.

The Sixth Prince, Emperor Su Yao, was born to Concubine Chen. He is not only the youngest and most beloved son of Emperor Mingde, but also the male protagonist of the book, with a natural aura of a male protagonist.

The reason why Emperor Mingde particularly favored Emperor Su Yao had a lot to do with Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen was originally a princess of the Imperial Kingdom. Not only did she have a beauty so stunning that it could captivate all men, she also had a graceful figure and excellent dancing skills, especially the Silver Waist Dance, which she performed with such lightness, grace and elegance.

When Emperor Mingde met Concubine Chen for the first time, she happened to be dancing her favorite Silver Waist Dance.

Even Emperor Mingde, who had seen countless beauties, fell in love with her dancing at first sight and fell in love with her uncontrollably from then on.

Xu Yaoyao remembered that in the original book, Concubine Chen had someone she liked, and that person was the great general Li Tian of the Imperial Kingdom.

However, when the King of Yu heard that Emperor Mingde loved Concubine Chen, in order to obtain the two cities from Emperor Mingde, he ignored Concubine Chen's wishes and presented her directly to Emperor Mingde.

The Concubine Chen hated Emperor Mingde so much for this that a few days before she was about to be sent to the Kingdom of Fusu, she spent every day in an intimate relationship with General Li Tian, ​​making Emperor Mingde wear a cuckold.

When the King of Yu State found out, he was worried that Emperor Mingde would discover that Concubine Chen was an unclean person, so he found a witch doctor to help Concubine Chen fake her chastity.

Emperor Mingde knew nothing about this. Ever since Concubine Chen came to Fusu Kingdom, he had always treated her like a treasure. Many times, he even regarded Concubine Chen as more important than himself.

Later, Concubine Chen gave birth to the sixth prince two months early. The Queen suspected that there was something wrong, so she advised Emperor Mingde to investigate Concubine Chen thoroughly.

But Emperor Mingde was brainwashed by Concubine Chen's words, and was so in love that he said that the Empress was jealous of Concubine Chen's exclusive favor.

Because of this, Emperor Mingde and the Empress were hurt in their relationship, and Emperor Mingde did not visit the Empress's Jingren Palace for many years.

It was precisely because Emperor Mingde loved Concubine Chen so deeply that after Concubine Chen passed away, his favor for the Sixth Prince began to have no limits. Even when he discovered that the Sixth Prince had ambitions to seize the throne, he simply turned a blind eye.

Some even felt that the Sixth Prince was indeed a man of great talent and strategy, and that he might be a good candidate to be the king.

It is also because of this that the Sixth Prince's power grew stronger and stronger. Later, he joined forces with the heroine and General Li Tian to massacre the entire royal family and seize the throne of Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde did not learn until his death that he was not Concubine Chen's first man, nor was he the one in Concubine Chen's heart. Even the Sixth Prince was not his biological son, but the son of Concubine Chen and General Li Tian.

Xu Yaoyao complained silently, how ridiculous.
