Quick Wear: The Socially Annoying Host Quit

Gu Yuan's face turned pale in an instant, and his hands hanging by his side clenched slightly. He didn't want to leave here, and he didn't want to leave Chi Yusi even more.

Chi Xuyang glanced at him and said, "Since someone has come from the palace, you can go back."

Gu Yuan lowered his head and followed the servant out silently.

Chi Yusi didn't realize anything and just thought he had gone home.

"Wait, Brother Yuan." She came out of the room and took out a cloth tiger, caught up with Gu Yuan and handed it to him.

"For you, my friend, as a gift." This way she can get a new one, smart as she is.

If she gives it away reasonably, her parents can buy her the big cloth tiger that she has been eyeing recently.

Chi Xuyang and Song Tang turned around silently, holding their foreheads, their faces flushed at the gift their daughter had given them.

Others may not know, but as her parents, they naturally see through her little plan.

"But I... have nothing to give you." Gu Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of embarrassment on his delicate and fair face.

"Then when you are ready, just give it to me, that's all." Chi Yusi replied nonchalantly, "Goodbye, Brother Yuan."

……

The atmosphere in the court was solemn. The ministers were divided into two groups, and undercurrents surged when their eyes met.

Chi Xuyang stood in the hall with a solemn expression, and these people were about to start again.

At this moment, he was facing a group of officials who were impeaching him, and he was attacking them personally in his heart.

Imperial Censor An Junwei was the first to step forward and said loudly, "Prime Minister, your wife mobilized the women's army without reporting to His Majesty in order to save her daughter. This is an act of exceeding authority! Where does the law of the country stand?"

His voice echoed in the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on the prime minister.

Chi Xuyang straightened up and responded righteously: "This official and my wife were eager to save our daughter and acted impulsively, but this official has no regrets in the world!"

"Impulsiveness is not an excuse!" Another official followed up, "What has the Prime Minister done to the dignity of the court? If everyone behaves like this, won't the country be in chaos?"

Other officials also spoke out, some accusing the prime minister's wife of abusing her power, others questioning the motives of his actions.

Chi Xuyang's face became increasingly heavy. He knew that the impeachment of these officials was not entirely unreasonable.

His wife was a general, but she was a general in name only, except for going to the battlefield.

But they were so eager to save their daughter that they could not just sit back and watch.

At this time, the emperor spoke up: "Prime Minister, do you have any explanation for this matter?"

The emperor's voice was so intimidating without even being angry that it silenced the entire court.

Chi Xuyang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize: "Your Majesty, my wife and I were eager to save our daughter, and we had no choice. I am willing to take all the responsibility, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Prime Minister, I understand your love for your daughter, but the law of the country cannot be violated. Considering your many years of meritorious service, I will give you a lighter sentence this time."

"The women's army is under the control of General Yu Hui. Song Tang has been working hard for a long time, so he needs to rest for a while."

Chi Xuyang burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will definitely repent and reform myself, and live up to Your Majesty's kindness."

Ugh, bad luck!!!

After returning home, Chi Xuyang had a gloomy face and told Song Tang about the court session.

"Atang, about the women's army..."

"It's okay. I can spend more time with my daughter. It's just that Yu Hui has always disliked women serving in the army. I'm afraid he may look down on them and treat them perfunctorily."

Song Tang sighed softly, "Let's wait and see. If he is really not suitable to lead the women's army, we will find a way."

A few days later, Yu Hui officially took over the women's army.

He was prejudiced against women serving in the army, but since his son was among the people rescued by Song Tang, he did not object to the emperor's order.

He treated them equally, integrating the female soldiers into the troops he led and training them together. It depended on themselves whether they could persist.

Just think of it as him returning the favor.

"Dad—" As soon as Yu Hui entered the door, he heard his son Yu Siyuan shouting.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? You don't have enough energy when practicing martial arts, and you have a lot of excuses. If you don't practice martial arts well, who will save you if you are kidnapped again in the future?"

If the prime minister's daughter had not been kidnapped this time, how could he have happened to rescue his son?

Yu Hui didn’t know that it was his son who dragged Chi Yusi into the kidnappers’ den, otherwise he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

"Dad, aren't we going to the Prime Minister's house to thank them?" At least she saved him. That little sister is really amazing.

He wanted to ask the little sister to be his teacher, as he felt that she was more powerful than his father. If his father knew, he would probably beat him hard.

"Dad, just send someone to deliver the thank-you gift." If he went to the door, there was no guarantee that those officials would secretly spread the rumor that he was in collusion with the prime minister.

"Dad—Dad—I want to go." Yu Siyuan really wanted to go.

"After a while, when His Majesty's birthday banquet is held, you and I will go to the palace to see the Prime Minister." Yu Hui was helpless.

***

Qingyang Palace.

In the bustling palace, a young man in gorgeous purple clothes was being served food by maids. There were many maids and guards standing in the palace.

At the age of sixteen, his face, which had not yet fully grown, was full of enjoyment and pride.

After a while, the guard who came to deliver the message came in with Gu Yuan.

"Sixth brother, you are lucky. Even so, you were saved by the Prime Minister." The second prince Gu Cheng gave the guard a wink.

Gu Yuan lowered his head. Not long after he returned to the palace, he was called over by his second brother.

There is no doubt that the second prince will not let him have an easy time.

The guard pushed Gu Yuan to the ground fiercely. Gu Cheng stood up and stepped on the back of Gu Yuan's hand from above.

"Sixth brother, why are you so careless? You fell down as soon as you got to my place. Could it be that Sixth brother is unlucky?"

Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and said nothing, allowing the severe pain in the back of his hand to come.

He knew that resistance would only result in more severe punishment.

"Sixth brother, do you realize your mistake?" Gu Cheng's face showed contempt and disdain.

"Second brother, I don't know where I went wrong." Gu Yuan raised his head, his eyes calm and without any ripples.

Gu Cheng snorted coldly, then smiled maliciously, "Sixth brother, you left the palace without permission, how do you think the emperor will punish you?"

"Second brother, it's obviously you..."

"What's wrong with me? Do you think I was the one who took you out of the palace? Do you think the emperor believes me or you?"

His words were full of sarcasm and malice.

Gu Cheng stepped on Gu Yuan's hand even harder, "Gu Yuan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You're just an unloved bastard!"

He is nothing more than a bastard born by my mother's personal maid who climbed into bed with her while my mother and my father were having a quarrel.

Want to live a good life in the palace? Don't even think about it.

Gu Yuan's lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were unclear, and blood was faintly seeping from the palm of his hand in his sleeve.

"Master, His Majesty is coming towards our palace." The eunuch hurriedly came to Gu Cheng.

"Sixth brother, father is coming to see me, hurry up and get up, the ground is still quite cold."

Gu Cheng gave Gu Yuan a threatening look, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty." The two men knelt down and saluted, and the people around them also knelt down.
