Chapter 2060 - Romantic Company (6)

The second prince and Empress Dugu looked at each other. They didn’t expect that Jun Linyuan would become so foolish as to offend the empress dowager over a girl.

Jun Linyuan was so proud and unapproachable that they thought “he” was going to quarrel with the empress dowager in public this time.

Empress Dugu secretly rejoiced. Having spent years talking about Jun Linyuan behind his back, she had finally driven a wedge between the father and son. If Her Majesty the empress dowager abandoned Jun Linyuan as well, the second prince would have a much better chance.

At that thought, Empress Dugu pricked up her ears and listened.

But both she and other opponents of Jun Linyuan were disappointed. Jun Linyuan would never relent, but Feng Wu was much more flexible.

Feng Wu took the empress dowager’s hand with a smile and said, “Of course. I’ll tell her off when I go back. How about that?”

The empress dowager glanced at her “grandson” and asked, “Why are you so docile today?”

Feng Wu’s stomach lurched. Had the empress dowager noticed something?

Meanwhile, Jun Linyuan couldn’t help but glance at Feng Wu as well.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He found the girl too naggy to sound like him.

However, she had made the empress dowager very happy, so Jun Linyuan didn’t say anything.

He simply couldn’t be bothered to do such things.

Feng Wu smiled at the empress dowager. “Grandmother, don’t you like me this way?”

The empress dowager snorted. “I hope you mean it. I know you too well. You’re a little outlaw out there. What can I do when your own father can’t do anything?”

Emperor Wu walked over to them, glanced at his son, and asked the empress dowager, “Did Jun Linyuan upset you again?”

“Of course not!” Although the empress dowager scolded Jun Linyuan, she wouldn’t let Emperor Wu say a harsh word to her grandson. “Junjun didn’t do anything. Please don’t tell him off!”

Emperor Wu rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

Since the empress dowager had scolded him, he had to get back at his son for it.

Therefore, Emperor Wu stared at “Jun Linyuan” with a dark face. “Where have you been? Don’t you know that there’s a farewell party? Is this how you show your respect to the chieftain?”

Seeing that the empress dowager was going to retort, Empress Dugu rose from her seat and interjected with a smile, “Your Majesty, please don’t be mad. His Royal Highness must have had a tough time in the tombs, and it’s only natural that he should need some more rest. We should be glad to see him.”

Emperor Wu said, “He’s not the only one who went into the tombs. Why is he the only one tired? Who does he think he is? He’s not the emperor yet, and he’s already behaving like one!”

That was a serious accusation.

The second prince immediately interjected, “Your Majesty, my brother is more capable and took more responsibility in the tombs…”

“What hardship did he go through in the tombs? What responsibility? Tell me about it!” Emperor Wu was genuinely angry.

Seeing this, the empress dowager didn’t know what to say.

The second prince gave it some thought, and then smiled bitterly. “Because my brother is much more capable than us, he didn’t walk with us, so I really can’t say… But he got Miss Feng Wu out, didn’t he?”

Emperor Wu smirked. “He didn’t find the seed of the spirit source, nor did he save Wuxia. He only saved an outsider and won’t acknowledge his faults. Jun Linyuan, you just won’t repent, will you?!”
