Chapter 634: The Grand Wedding (1)_1
Situ Gong stepped forward to take the gift list and then stood smilingly behind Chu Suifeng.
"Do the two of you find war to be a joyful event?" asked Chu Suifeng coldly. Though his peach blossom eyes were indeed beautiful, they also exhibited an eagle-like intensity that was hard to look directly at.
"Ahem." Prince Chu, Chu Suifeng, was on the verge of speaking some emotional words to temper the atmosphere. He was also preparing to offer the gifts he brought. But before he could speak, he heard Chu Suifeng’s unsympathetic reply.
Rui Wang, who had come to give gifts, choked on his words and blushed with embarrassment. He had never imagined that Chu Suifeng would be so difficult, leaving him in a disadvantageous position despite presenting a gift.
What should he do? Upon seeing the looks cast from around the room, he wished the ground would swallow him up. "Ahem."
In fact, Chu Suifeng’s remark was a tough one to respond to. A careless reply might invite universal condemnation, especially given the presence of both civil and military officials loyal to Prince Ling.
"It is I who misspoke. War on the frontier is fought by the soldiers with their lives, even if we achieve victory, it’s not something I should be celebrating so pompously."
"Rui Wang, are you suggesting that our soldiers’ victory should not be celebrated?" Chu Suifeng asked piercingly, "Or are you dissatisfied with how I handle matters?"
Of course he was dissatisfied! But given the circumstances, he couldn’t afford the luxury of venting his anger. He had never been so stifled before in his life. He vowed that once he returned to the Capital City, he would definitely bring up Chu Suifeng in an "admirable" light in front of the Emperor.
