Chapter 332 Deliberately Late
Pei Yuanjun glanced at him, in a good mood, and said nonchalantly, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"But His Majesty has ordered this old servant to wait here for quite some time! The court officials have questioned the young prince's identity and have made many excuses to embarrass His Majesty. His Majesty is currently in a rage!"

Pei Yuanjun walked forward unhurriedly and confidently, making Eunuch Desheng anxious!
"Prime Minister, can't you walk a little faster? His Majesty must be getting impatient!"

Pei Yuanjun glanced at him with a cold expression, and Eunuch Desheng instantly felt a chill, even more terrifying than the Emperor's murderous aura!
So scared that I quickly shut up!

Upon reaching the entrance of the main hall, a minister's voice came from inside: "Your Majesty, I believe that the royal bloodline should not be confused. I propose that we perform a blood test on the spot!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. That previous fake prince was also found by the Prime Minister, and so is this one. Who knows what the Prime Minister's intentions are?"

"Your Majesty, I second that opinion. The Prime Minister has repeatedly defied His Majesty's secret orders, remaining secluded in his hometown and refusing to return, openly opposing the Emperor! To dare be absent on such an important day shows absolutely no respect for..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly appeared in front of him, and he immediately turned his head to look!
Isn't this the very prime minister who was advising the emperor to teach him a lesson?

My heart skipped a beat!
"Lord Zhao, it seems you harbor a deep grudge against me!"

"...Your Majesty, I was merely stating the facts. Your actions are clear to all and leave no room for excuses! It's not that I hold a grudge against Your Majesty!"

Lou Chen sat on the throne and saw that Pei Yuanjun had finally arrived. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes!
But how dare he deliberately arrive late?
Go down and see how he punishes him.

Xiao Jingxuan sat with the Empress and was quite excited to see Pei Yuanjun arrive!
The Empress quickly grabbed him. Little Jingxuan turned around, and the Empress shook her head at him, signaling him not to act impulsively and lose his dignity!
Xiao Jingxuan composed himself, remembering what his godfather had told him!
Since you have chosen this path, you must always remember your identity no matter what you do, and never lose your dignity or face so that the court officials will look down on you!
They want to control you. You are the crown prince; they should be the ones obeying your orders, not the other way around!

Show your power and courage to intimidate the court officials. Don't be afraid, your godfather will help you! With this thought, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly sat up straight!
He remained calm and composed in the face of the arguments against him, as if they were not talking about him at all!
Seated firmly on the high platform, as immovable as a mountain!
His expression remained unchanged, making it difficult for outsiders to discern his true thoughts from his face.

Upon seeing this, Pei Yuanjun's eyes flashed with admiration!

Lou Chen also expressed his satisfaction with Xiao Jingxuan's performance, saying that he had the demeanor of a royal!

The court officials, led by the Prime Minister, also looked at Xiao Jingxuan with new respect. They had originally supported the Prime Minister, but Xiao Jingxuan's performance surprised them greatly!
They thought the princes raised in the countryside would be timid and weak, believing that the prime minister wanted to control the Louqu Kingdom. Now it seems that they were just being petty!
The young prince is so outstanding; they have underestimated him.

Pei Yuanjun bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am late, please punish me."

Lou Chen, sitting on the throne, had a cold glint in his eyes.

If the prime minister had even a hint of remorse, he wouldn't have deliberately arrived late!
But that’s just right!
"My dear minister, there's no need for such formalities. Your old injuries haven't healed yet, and on the way back to the capital, the carriage went out of control and injured Lady Xian. It's understandable that you couldn't leave for the time being! How can you blame me!"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is wise..."

"Minister Zhao, there's no need for further words. We can discuss the matter of the Prime Minister another day! Today, we're here to discuss the appointment of the Crown Prince!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!" Lord Zhao reluctantly retreated to his own line.
