The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!

Chapter 148 Two Drama Queens in the Imperial Study

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Zhan Jingxuan rolled his eyes: "There's no one else here, so stop pretending."

Tang Xiluo curled his lips and stood up on his own.

Zhan Jingchen stood up without saying a word, not taking Zhan Jingxuan's words to heart.

"Why are you two here today?"

Tang Xiluo raised his eyebrows: "Why? The emperor doesn't welcome you."

Zhan Jingxuan was speechless: "Whether you are welcome or not, aren't you all here already?"

The emperor brother and his wife really like each other and are a match made in heaven.

Zhan Jingchen walked to the armchair at the side and sat down, then picked up the plate of pastries with familiarity.

"Lolo, come and try it."

Tang Xiluo was originally curious about what the emperor was worried about, but the food was so tempting that he turned around and walked towards the pastries.

Zhan Jingxuan: "..." Did these two people treat the imperial study as a dining room? Is there nothing to eat in their palace?

Tang Xiluo took a bite of the pastry and it tasted really good.

After looking at the fruits, his eyes lit up. In ancient times, fruits were not as abundant as they are today. Many of their fruits were tributes from other countries. If they sent people to buy them, the manpower, material resources and time consumed would be disproportionate, so they basically would not send people to buy them.

Seeing that they were eating happily, Zhan Jingxuan couldn't help himself anymore.

"If you two like them, take them all back to the palace."

The implication was that he shouldn't stay here and get in his way, but he didn't dare to speak frankly to his brother.

"..."

No one paid any attention to him?!

Zhan Jingxuan looked up in anger and saw that the emperor's sister-in-law looked very happy while eating, and the emperor's brother was also feeding her fruits with great pampering.

"..."

"Do you two have to be affectionate in front of me?"

"..."

Still no one paid any attention to him. One was busy eating, and the other was busy feeding him.

The two of them came to the imperial study with a clear purpose, which was to eat.

"Fuxi!"

The door of the imperial study was opened.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Fuxi lowered her head, not daring to look at the angry emperor. It just so happened that it was the prince and princess who made the emperor angry.

If it were anyone else, I would be able to say a few words, but if it were the prince, I wouldn't dare to say anything!

Zhan Jingxuan raised his chin and said, "I once said that any tribute from various countries must be sent to Prince Chen's Mansion. Did you ignore my words?"

Fuxi was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Even if we have a hundred courages, we will not turn a deaf ear to your words!"

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Fuxi continued to explain bravely. He guessed that the emperor said it on purpose for the prince to hear.

"Your Majesty, half of all the tributes from various countries are sent to Prince Chen's Palace from your share every year..."

Zhan Jingxuan quietly turned his head and glanced at his two royal brothers, only to find that they still had no reaction at all!

Then he gave Fuxi another look, and Fuxi burst into tears.

"Your Highness, I failed to do my job well. I let those dogs steal the tribute. I deserve to die!"

Zhan Jingchen watched the two of them acting, and finally spoke out of mercy.

"No one dares to steal anything from this king."

Fu Xi asked cautiously: "Why didn't the palace receive it?" Otherwise, why did he come to the imperial study to get it?

Zhan Jingchen almost laughed out of anger.

"Fuxi."

When Fuxi heard the prince calling her name, she was so scared that she broke out in a sweat and felt very sad!

"The old slave is here!"

"It would be a waste of your talent if you don't join the opera troupe. Where did you get this talent? Did you learn it through subtle influence? "

Fu Xi: “…”

Zhan Jingxuan's mouth twitched. His royal brother was using Fuxi to talk about himself!

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am too old to sing opera anymore..." The Emperor is still young, so let Him go.

Zhan Jingxuan suffered a crushing defeat.

"Alright, you can leave now! If there is tribute food in the future, please share more with the palace."

"Yes, I will resign, old slave."

Fuxi wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran away as if he had greased his feet.

Tang Xiluo also stopped.

Zhan Jingchen asked lovingly, "Are you full?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

Zhan Jingxuan rolled his eyes. Even if he wasn’t full, he would be eaten up.

Tang Xiluo then asked curiously: "What was the emperor worried about just now?"

Zhan Jingxuan said angrily: "Women are not allowed to interfere in politics."

Zhan Jingchen frowned. This kid could be angry with him, but he couldn’t let Luo Luo suffer from his temper.

So just when he was about to speak, the little girl spoke first.

"But I can ask my husband to help you."

Zhan Jingchen's eyes lit up. Husband! She called him husband! These two words sounded so beautiful when they came out of her mouth.

Zhan Jingxuan was furious: "You two bullied me, I will complain to my mother!"

Then he looked at Tang Xiluo angrily and said, "Your elder sister is mine. Logically, you should call me brother-in-law."

Zhan Jingchen said in a gloomy voice, "Oh? Really? Then do you want me to call you brother-in-law?"

Zhan Jingxuan, who had been complacent, reacted immediately and froze.

"No... no need... hehe, my royal brother, I was just joking."

Tang Xiluo couldn't help laughing and patted Zhan Jingxuan on the shoulder: "So what? Brother-in-law, what were you worried about just now?"

Zhan Jingchen: "???" What is brother-in-law?

Zhan Jingxuan: “…” What an outrageous name, I’ve never heard of it before.

Tang Xiluo shrugged: "It's a compromise, half for each."

The two were speechless: "..." Can this be possible?

Zhan Jingxuan sighed, "At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, I want to confer titles on the harem, but Rou'er's position..."

It can’t be too high, but I can’t bear to give it too low. He was promoted just half a month ago. If he is promoted again now…

When Tang Xiluo heard this, he realized it was about his sister! Then he had to fight for her.

"It's just the promotion of concubines in the harem. This is the emperor's family affair. The emperor can promote whoever he wants. It's not their turn to make decisions."

She wasn't crowned as queen, nor as noble concubine, nor even as a concubine. The remaining minor titles wouldn't have much impact no matter how they were conferred.

What's more, her sister is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, so even if someone has complaints, they dare not say anything.

Not only would it offend the emperor, but it would also offend the generals, and even lead to suppression by the prince and princess. Who would dare to express dissatisfaction openly?

Zhan Jingchen couldn't help but laugh as he watched the little girl trying to persuade him. As for her sister, she would definitely fight for her without hesitation.

"Ahem, what Luo Luo said makes sense. Who dares to speak nonsense?"

When Zhan Jingxuan heard this, he thought, since his royal brother had spoken, what was there not to do? Anyway, his royal brother would take care of it if anything went wrong.

"In that case, I can rest assured and promote you."

If there was no queen in the harem, he wouldn't have to worry about these things.

If Rou'er hadn't entered the palace this year, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of these things.

In the years since he ascended the throne, he seldom promoted the concubines in the harem, and the only time he promoted a major title was at the persuasion of the empress dowager.

The concubines in the harem also knew that their promotion was more difficult than that of concubines in all previous dynasties.
