This clearly angry yet helpless feeling, for a monarch who was used to controlling it, it was even worse than killing him.
Only the heavens knew how much he wanted to drag Hua Ruge down and hack him, but he couldn't and didn't dare to.
Hua Ruge admired the emperor's uncontrollable emotions, and laughed in his heart.
She didn't want to give this old thing anything good in the first place, so she just took out a comb from Hong Xiu's dressing table last night.
But at the beginning of the feast she saw the cold look in the old Emperor's eyes and knew that he was about to strike at the feast, so she reached into her sleeve and broke the teeth of the comb.
It might be more persuasive to cry, but it might also make the old man angry.
Thus, she did it. She crushed the comb into wood shavings without leaving a trace and disappeared into the air, as if it had never existed.
And this comb alone had made the Emperor suffer and feel awkward.
Hua Ruge thought that he really needed to thank Hong Xiu and reminded him at the right time.
The officials were all intelligent men, and when they saw the subtle changes in the emperor's eyes, they could tell that he was angry. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Qing Clan of Hua is loyal and devoted. This is the example of all the officials of the great Zheng." The old emperor said something against his own will, and then began to cough non-stop.
Everyone was probably angry.
Hua Ruge said as he suppressed his laughter in his heart, "This is this subject's affair. This subject will definitely not fail the emperor's request."
The emperor was coughing even more loudly up there.
The officials also felt that Hua Ruge was a little too shameless.
Now, everyone finally understood that the emperor would go back on his word, but Hua Ruge didn't even give him the chance to go back on his words.
Such scheming and methods really made people feel cold in their hearts.
Too strong!
One of the eunuchs came over and brought the comb Hua Ruge was holding over to the emperor, who then presented it to him. The emperor waved his hands and placed it behind him.
Following that, another court official continued to congratulate Hua Ruge on his birthday, while he ate the tea on the table in a good mood, because the meal had not started, and only this much was edible.
She hadn't eaten in the morning, and she was hungry.
Mao Jun poked his head over, and stammered, "You ? "You ?"
Until now, he still had not accepted that Hua Ruge Hua gave him a comb at the Emperor's birthday banquet, and it was even broken.
She was clearly a priceless treasure, but where was she poor?
Hua Ruge did not plan to explain either. Mao Jun was a martial general who only had guts, and even if she told him about it, she might not be able to understand it.
Yan Zixing, on the other hand, laughed in a rare manner, and leisurely drank his tea, as if he had not seen the astonishing scene from before.
Hua Ruge thought that the people from the Wen Wu Aristocrat Clan were really different.
"Comb..." "Comb..." Mao Jun was still incoherent.
Hua Ruge comforted him: "Bear with it, we'll take some medicine when we get home."
Yan Zixing laughed.
Mao Jun said, "Here ? "To the Emperor ?"
Hua Ruge was completely helpless, there were even more helpless than her in this matter. This was because no matter how much they gifted him, they were unable to surpass the heat of Hua Ruge's comb.
No matter what, he couldn't attract the emperor's attention anymore.
Of course, even if there was something good, the angry emperor had no interest in continuing to watch. After the simple process, the dancers would dance in the middle of the grass.
The eight of them were all fifteen or sixteen years old, and their dancing was very pleasing to the eyes.
When these girls came up, Mao Jun was finally no longer in a daze. He stared at the girls, as if he couldn't even use his eyes anymore.
Hua Ruge felt that in the future, when he went out, it would be best to not let others know that he was acquainted with Mao Jun.
At the same time, the Emperor gave the Fang family's Minister of The State of Fang a meaningful glance.
The Minister of The State of Fang was the person who replaced Hua Shengxiong after he left and was also Fang Lanxin's father.
Because of the grudges between Fang Lanxin and himself, Minister of The State of Fang had a very poor attitude toward him.
Understanding what the Emperor meant, Minister of The State of Fang opened his mouth and said, "If I didn't hear wrongly, Lord of The Wah was just saying that he is poor?"
"Being older is troublesome, if Minister of The State of Fang can't even hear this clearly, then we can go home." Hua Ruge drank his tea and replied indifferently.
Minister of The State of Fang did not get angry after hearing that, he only said, "But as far as I know, it's not like that."
Hua Ruge squinted at him, waiting for him to speak.
"Lord of The Wah's clothes are not cheap, it looks like it's made from Wingman, we can't even buy it if we wanted to." The Minister of The State of Fang continued.
His goal was to expose Hua Ruge's lies and prove that he was rich, and that everything he did just now was just to bully the sovereign.
This was the emperor's intention, but he could not step in.
This is the robe made by the Wingman Tribe. It's just that I have a lot of face, and they gave it to me. "Su Yun said. Hua Ruge replied with a smile.
There was an uproar from below. The female guests knew that the clothes belonged to the Wingman and were getting more excited, and they secretly determined to go to Hua Ruge's territory to purchase one.
Minister of The State of Fang did not succeed in handling this matter, and said while tossing and turning: "I heard that Lord of The Wah's carriage is extremely luxurious, can Lord of The Wah still say that he doesn't have money?"
"I didn't expect that the duke would have such poor hearing. I've heard quite a bit." Hua Ruge smiled and teased before saying: "I bought that myself earlier, and it also requires the approval of the Prince Fu?"
Right now, she insisted that she had no money. Otherwise, everything she had done before would have been in vain.
"Lord of The Wah, you really know how to quibble. Even if you don't have any money, a Lord like you shouldn't be giving such a cheap birthday present, right?" The Minister of The State of Fang frowned and started to speak harshly.
Hua Ruge laughed and said: "How can someone like the Duke of Nations, who has gold coins flowing like water, understand the life of our poor Lord?"
"No ?"
"What's more, the gift of birthday presents is mainly based on one's heart, and whether or not it's a cheap gift is up to anyone. If it's used by someone, the emperor would just put away a comb. If he wants to use it in the future, do you dare to say that comb is cheap?" Hua Ruge retaliated.
Minister of The State of Fang didn't know what to say. Everything he said was wrong.
Everyone was shocked, Hua Ruge really had guts, he had just challenged the Hua Clan and now that he was against the Fang Clan, he was truly a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.
But when he did not speak, Hua Ruge did not plan on letting him go, she stood up and said to Minister of The State of Fang: "However, if Prince Fu thinks that I am being too courteous, I can make up for it."
Everyone became interested when they heard this.
The emperor and Minister of The State of Fang also wanted to know what Hua Ruge wanted to take out next.
"I was founded by a martial artist, so this weak singing and dancing is really boring. It's too boring to fight with words, so why don't we send some people to do it for fun?" Hua Ruge laughed: "Let's determine the victor of this fight."
