Chapter 225 The banquet begins, Nian Gengyao
"If it really doesn't suit your two tastes, I can also ask your sister's small kitchen to cook some dishes you like."
"Now that the war in the northwest has achieved results, you two have made great contributions. There is no need to be too polite to me."
The emperor looked at the two of them with a smile on his face and said.
Nian Gengyao thought that he had only been away for a while, but his sister, the good Concubine Hua, was stripped of her title and became Concubine Nian. Naturally, he was not in a good mood.
She even felt a little resentful towards the emperor. She had fought so hard for him on the front lines, but the emperor treated his own sister so poorly.
Fu Cha Fude looked at Nian Gengyao's arrogant appearance and shook his head slightly.
Nian Gengyao was indeed arrogant. He had originally thought that this guy would be more restrained in front of the emperor, but he did not expect him to be so bold and even dare to show a bad face to the emperor.
You have to know that the current emperor is not someone you can easily mess with. How could the winner of the previous dynasty's battle for the throne allow him to be so arrogant?
The Nian family is just a small Han army flag, but they dare to look down on the emperor by relying on their military achievements.
Now that the war is over, Nian Gengyao's usefulness is almost gone, and it's hard to say when the emperor will settle accounts with the Nian family.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of his sister. Seeing his sister nodded at him, he also had a plan in his mind.
If he could find the right time to stand out when the emperor was settling accounts with Nian Gengyao, his future prospects would naturally not be too bad.
"Your Majesty, this is too polite. It is a great honor for me to have a meal with Your Majesty and Concubine Hua. How dare I be picky?"
Nian Gengyao never took the Fu Cha siblings seriously at all. He just couldn't stand Fu Cha Fude competing with him for credit.
He also didn't like the fact that Concubine Xuan had risen to the position of concubine in such a short time after entering the palace, and now her rank was even higher than that of his sister.
Of course he knew that his sister had been stripped of her title and could no longer be called Concubine Hua, but could only be called Concubine Nian. But how could he watch his sister suffer such a great humiliation and not show it in front of the emperor?
He just wanted to let the emperor see his attitude. He was protecting his sister, and even the emperor could not bully her at will.
When Concubine Nian heard her brother still calling her Concubine Hua, she was deeply moved and looked at her brother with tears in her eyes.
Now that my brother is back, I finally have someone to rely on.
Concubine Nian was so moved that she naturally didn't notice the emperor's extremely dark face.
But Fucha Zhixi saw it, and Fucha Fude also saw it.
When the emperor heard what Nian Gengyao said, he knew that the other party was giving him a cold shoulder for depriving him of the title of Concubine Nian. This made him furious, but he could not do anything about it for the time being.
As the king of a country, does he have to consider the moods of his ministers when dealing with concubines in the harem?
But due to the current situation, he cannot turn against Nian Gengyao for the time being, so no matter how great the humiliation is, he can only swallow it.
Fu Cha Fu De simply didn't know how to describe Nian Gengyao. Why would there be such a brainless person?
Did he really regard the emperor as his brother-in-law?
He even dared to compete with the Emperor because of Concubine Nian's matter. Was he thinking that the Emperor would not do anything to him?
Fu Cha Fu De couldn't figure it out, but he knew that Nian Gengyao was doomed to die.
When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be killed and blood will flow for thousands of miles.
The more the emperor endures now, the more cruel and ruthless he will be when the time comes to settle accounts in the future.
However, Nian Gengyao's actions gave him a good opportunity.
As a loyal minister of the emperor, how could he remain silent when the emperor was humiliated?
Moreover, he had always hated Nian Gengyao's behavior. Now that he was killed like this, he could just show his disgust for him in front of the emperor and reduce the emperor's suspicion of collusion between him and Nian Gengyao.
Thinking of this, Fucha Fude was no longer silent, but spoke with a sneer.
"General Nian, maybe you remembered it wrongly."
"Hasn't the title of Concubine Nian been stripped now?"
"There are only Concubine Xuan and Concubine Nian at this banquet. Where is Concubine Hua?"
Fu Cha Fu De stood up and bowed respectfully to the emperor, then looked at Nian Gengyao with a mocking tone and started fighting him.
The emperor did not expect that Fu Cha Fu De would actually stand up and say such words, but looking at Nian Gengyao's obviously angry face, the emperor's anger that had just been in his heart dissipated a little.
Fortunately, my original decision was right.
Xier is so considerate, and her brother is also someone who can understand the king's mind and is loyal.
"you!"
Nian Gengyao also disliked this guy Fucha Fude, but no matter how arrogant he was, he knew that the Fucha family was behind Fucha Fude, and no matter how powerful he was, he could not be stronger than the other family.
"Alright, alright, it's just a name. Liang Gong probably got it mixed up. Jing'an doesn't need to take it so seriously."
The emperor smiled and looked at Fu Cha Fu De and said, his eyes full of admiration.
Even though he valued Fu Cha Fu De very much, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but he couldn't offend Nian Gengyao for the time being. He didn't want people to think that he was a mean and ungrateful monarch, so he had to endure for a while.
Fu Cha Zhixi didn't expect that after his third brother had been away for a while, his brain worked faster than before and he could actually think of such a way out of the predicament.
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at his third brother with sparkling eyes and nodded slightly to show his appreciation.
Fu Cha Fude naturally did not miss his sister's praise, or rather, he looked at his sister the first thing he did after he finished the call.
In his heart, his sister is the smartest person. If his sister thinks that what she does is right, then it must be right.
The emperor's words of conciliation did not calm Nian Gengyao down. He had a gloomy face and had no intention of responding to the emperor.
Concubine Nian didn't expect that her brother would be so disrespectful to the emperor. While looking at the emperor's expression, she kept winking at her brother.
Nian Gengyao naturally saw his sister's look, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
The emperor is a family to them. Even if I lose my temper, will the emperor care?
Fu Cha Fu De was certainly not as stupid as Nian Gengyao. He stood up, bowed to the emperor, and responded with a smile.
"Your Majesty is right. I think the general must have been confused. But I can understand that. After all, the general is about to retire. It is normal to have a bad memory and poor eyesight."
Fu Cha Fu De mercilessly mocked Nian Gengyao.
He has been fearless since he was a child. He is not even afraid of his own father, let alone a dying person.
A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
