Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

He fought across ranks, scared away the Holy Son of Wuming, killed the Daoist of Yin and Yang, and swept away the younger generation.

Such a record is astonishing and awe-inspiring!

Especially the little incident that happened before they entered made it clear to everyone that Su Liang was not just a lucky country boy.

This is a truly sharp blade, unsheathed and unstoppable!

At this time.

Suddenly, a figure approached respectfully.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

This must be the world-renowned, peerless prodigy, Su Liang, Young Master Su, right?

"I was fortunate enough to be in the stands during the arena battle, witnessing Young Master Su's unparalleled prowess. It is truly a blessing for our Great Qin!"

This person is no minor figure; he is the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, second only to the Emperor!

He was also the father of the previous president.

Even so, his current kind and respectful attitude towards Su Liang shows no sign of any prejudice.

In this regard.

Jun Hongyan simply nodded slightly, without any change in expression, and then pulled Su Liang away to another place.

The prime minister not only wasn't angry, but also said something afterward.

"Respectfully seeing off Her Highness the First Princess and Her Highness the Prince Consort."

After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Su Liang leaned close to Jun Hongyan's ear and whispered the question.

"He doesn't know what happened before, does he? Why is he acting like nothing happened?"

"I know that."

Jun Hongyan felt the ticklish, tingling sensation near her ear, tilted her head slightly, and said softly.

"The old fox's schemes are never superficial. He either kills these kinds of people outright or scares them into not daring to think anything!"

As she spoke, her phoenix eyes also swept around the surroundings.

When the other ministers saw Jun Hongyan looking at them, they all avoided her gaze, as if keeping their distance.

Shortly thereafter.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

A report came slowly from afar. As soon as the voice rang out, all the officials bowed, awaiting the arrival of the Emperor.

Afterwards, the Emperor, supported by several Imperial Guards, arrived at the palace.

The officials knelt and bowed in greeting. After the ceremony, they looked around and saw that the Emperor's gaze was not as it used to be. It was not directed at the Crown Prince and his entourage, nor at the other princes.

His Majesty's gaze fell on the direction of the eldest princess, Jun Hongyan, and he immediately burst into laughter upon seeing Su Liang.

The Emperor's hand gently stroked the dragon throne, and the golden dragon head seemed to open its eyes. He spoke loudly to the many ministers present.

"A few days ago, I wonder if you all saw that Su Liang, the son-in-law of the Great Qin Dynasty, personally killed the Yin-Yang Daoist of the Yin-Yang Divine Sect and was ranked first on the list of human pride."

"And naturally, he became known as the number one prodigy in the world!"

"His fame spread throughout the world, he made a name for himself, and everyone knows him!!"

As His Majesty finished speaking, he looked at the crowd with expectant eyes.

After hearing the emperor's words, all the ministers bowed and addressed him in unison.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to our Great Qin Dynasty for having such a prodigy. This is truly a great honor for our Great Qin Dynasty."

After the sound fell, the Emperor nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jun Hongyan and Su Liang again, and smiled.

"Su Liang, can you hear that? Now it's not just me who's happy for you, the entire Great Qin Dynasty is happy for you."

"Rest assured, this battle is promised by me, and even the Yin Yang Dao Sect will not dare to cause you any trouble."

"And you... in the future, in the capital and in the Qin Dynasty, do not disgrace your current status, not even when facing me."

These words caused a stir among everyone present.

The profound meaning contained in this statement cannot be ignored by these shrewd individuals.

Your Majesty, what kind of authority have you granted this child?

How can one live up to the status of the number one prodigy?

This statement can be considered either a big or small matter.

They even provided an excuse for acting arbitrarily.

Whatever you do, as long as you cite this imperial decree, who would dare to deny it?

Upon realizing this, all the ministers gasped in shock, knowing that the capital would soon have another person they couldn't afford to offend!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Su Liang, at Jun Hongyan's behest, cupped his hands in response.

The Emperor smiled again, but at the same time, a series of coughs rang out.

The palace maids serving him were about to step forward when the Emperor raised his hand to stop them.

"Alright, let's begin today's state banquet."

Then.

As soon as that voice fell, Su Liang, the main character of the day, instantly became a hot commodity.

Numerous ministers and high-ranking officials approached him one by one, offering him toasts and showering him with compliments.

Throughout the entire state banquet, everything that was heard and seen was praising Su Liang's achievements and glory, and discussing how brilliant and dazzling Su Liang's future would be.

So much so that Su Lian, who used to be able to follow him around, couldn't get in at all. She could only stare longingly at her brother Su, who was surrounded in the center, turning her grief and anger into her appetite.

Of course, her pretty face was also full of pride.

That's the older brother she chose!

In Jun Hongyan's eyes, however, her gaze remained calm, just as it had been when the two first met.

That was a moment that belonged only to the two of them.

You only see the peerless genius who is famous throughout the world today, but no one remembers how unknown that shy young man was when he first entered the imperial city a month or so ago.

Despite her achievements, Su Liang is not proud at all. Her only pride is her eye for talent!

The state banquet was already halfway through when His Majesty once again left early due to health reasons.

They leave quietly, as if it had long become the norm.

now.

Jun Hongyan had already unethically withdrawn, leaving Su Liang with no time to spare, as he was still dealing with the flattery of the ministers.

It must be said that those who can stand here are the elite of the Qin Dynasty's verbal sparring world.

The compliments they use are all unique; no two are the same, and any one of them can make someone feel elated.

But Su Liang was very annoyed, extremely annoyed, and had no interest whatsoever.

If I had known it would end like this, I would have been better off not coming!

Just then.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the crowd, and then a passage parted on its own.

Under Su Liang's questioning gaze, a young man dressed in a bright yellow robe walked slowly towards them, followed by an old acquaintance.

It was none other than the Imperial Guard Commander whom he had beaten up before!

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

As the ministers bowed in succession, the young man's identity became clear.

The current Crown Prince of Qin!

Chapter Forty-Six: A Nighttime Ambush, Another Storm Rises

This was the first time Su Liang had met the Crown Prince, and it was also the first time the Crown Prince had met him.

The only difference was that the former's eyes were very calm, while the latter's eyes could only be described as burning.

This made Su Liang feel extremely disgusted.

Could it be that the Crown Prince is that kind of person?

immediately.

"You must be Su Liang? The husband that the beauty chose is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"His fame spread throughout the world overnight, and he topped the list of outstanding talents. His talent was unparalleled, and even I admire him greatly."

After a brief compliment, the crown prince abruptly changed the subject and said...

"But there might have been some minor misunderstandings before!"

"It seems someone offended Young Master Su, causing you some unhappiness."

As the crown prince spoke, he took a step back to make way for the commander-in-chief behind him.

Now, the commander-in-chief and Su Liang were standing face to face.

He immediately knelt on one knee and flattered Su Liang with utmost respect.

"I was blind to your greatness before and offended Young Master Su. I have come here to apologize and ask for your punishment."

Su Liang shook his head slightly and smiled.

"It's okay, I definitely won't hold a grudge against a dog."

This

These words instantly made the president's brow twitch, but before he could react, he heard another...

"Alright, I like Mr. Su's kind of temperament."

As soon as Su Liang finished speaking, the Crown Prince took a few steps closer, approaching Su Liang and revealing a warm smile.
