Chapter 640: Returning to Beijing at Night to Avoid Trouble
The officials were all preoccupied with various plans, thinking about how to persuade the Emperor when they arrived at the throne room. Who would have the energy to chat with the emperor like brothers?
As for those officials who did not have daughters of marriageable age, they were indifferent and watched the show coldly from the sidelines.
Just waiting...waiting...
Finally, the golden bell and jade drum arrived.
Hearing the sound of the golden bell and jade drum, the civil and military officials hurriedly raised their hands to straighten their hats and robes, and then walked to the Golden Palace with serious faces.
The civil officials are in the east, the military officials are in the west, they are lined up and waiting for the emperor to come.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As Yu Feng sang loudly, all the officials bowed in salute.
"Your Majesty, we welcome you!"
Emperor Hongde, accompanied by Yu Feng and Feng Guang, walked steadily up to the platform, step by step, and sat firmly on the dragon throne.
"Your subjects bow to our emperor and wish him a long and long life!"
All the ministers knelt down in front of the Golden Palace and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
"Everyone is safe!"
Emperor Hong De said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After bowing their heads again, the ministers stood up and stood on the east and west sides.
Yu Feng took a step forward and swung the whisk in his hand, "If you have a capital, please report early. If you don't, please leave!"
After hearing this, the officials who were planning to do so did not move much, but their eyes were secretly looking around.
They were all anxious.
When they came to court today, they didn't think about anything else. The only thing on their minds was how to make their daughter become Prince Yu's wife.
But who will start this?
After all, more than a dozen of them had repeatedly made memorials yesterday, but the emperor remained silent and did not express his opinion;
The expression on his face was always neither angry nor happy.
They couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.
If they continue this topic...
What will happen to the emperor?
Should I just nod in agreement and immediately revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage?
Or was he enraged by their constant pressure?
They're not sure.
This made them feel more or less uneasy.
They all hoped that someone would come forward to take the lead.
And they...
Just follow up based on the situation.
No one wants to be the first one to get into trouble!
Emperor Hongde sat on the throne, looking down at the civil and military officials in the hall, watching the constantly changing expressions on their faces.
They just glanced around with shifty eyes, as if no one could see them.
Emperor Hong De sneered in his heart with disdain. He just sat there with an expressionless face and didn't say a word.
Yesterday morning, I didn't say a word from beginning to end;
At the morning court today, I don’t know whether I need to speak for myself or not!
Emperor Hong De looked towards Wen Ban...
I saw the Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan, and also saw my nephew——Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi...
Emperor Hongde was somewhat puzzled——
Why didn’t Yuer come?
Could it be that... Yu'er slept too late and couldn't get out of bed?
Or...Yu'er had no intention of attending the morning court at all?
Emperor Hongde thought again, if he doesn't want to come, then don't come...
When I come here, I just listen to these people's noise and see their faces.
If Yu'er doesn't come, I won't have to talk.
Just like yesterday, I won’t say a word. Let’s see what these guys can do to me!
Emperor Hongde was just thinking about it when he saw a man walking in from outside the hall with an imposing manner.
Emperor Hong De...Okay!
Emperor Hong De shook his head helplessly.
I couldn't help but talk about my precious son.
Just as I thought of him, he appeared before me.
Got it!
It seems that it is impossible for me to remain silent today!
At the moment when Xiao Jingyu walked into the Golden Palace, there were faint gasps from the civil and military officials in the palace...
Everyone had their eyes and mouths wide open, with expressions of surprise and surprise on their faces.
They can't understand...
Shouldn't His Royal Highness Prince Yu be in Qingguo Temple for these three consecutive days?
How come...how come on the second day...he suddenly showed up at the morning court?
His Royal Highness Prince Yu appeared at the morning court, so...what could their own daughter do by running to Qingguo Temple?
Some of these officials had sent their daughters to Qingguo Temple yesterday;
Others, early this morning, were urged by their fathers to get on a carriage and drive out of the capital, heading for the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain...
Now... uh... we should still be halfway there!
This... His Royal Highness Prince Yu has already returned to Beijing and the palace. What's the point of my daughter making this trip to Qingguo Temple?
These people felt nothing but annoyance and helplessness, and they wished they could send people to Qingguo Temple right away to bring back their daughters.
But the morning court has just begun, who dares to say or do anything wrong?
Not to mention leaving immediately.
Xiao Jingyu didn't even look at the surprised expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials.
Walking to the foot of the altar, Xiao Jingyu bowed and saluted: "Your son greets you, father!"
"Yuer, stand up!"
Emperor Hongde muttered to himself: I just opened my mouth and have already said five words.
It seems... I must speak today.
Before those surprised officials could recover from their shock, Xiao Jingyu had already stood in the literature class.
The Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan, who was standing beside Xiao Jingyu, turned slightly, saluted towards Xiao Jingyu, and whispered: "Your Highness Prince Yu!"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please do not be polite!"
Xiao Jingyu stretched out his hand to support him.
Then, Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan quietly asked what many court officials wanted to ask...
Many of the civil and military officials in the palace pricked up their ears immediately...
Your Highness Prince Yu, weren't you chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha with the Anguo family in the Qingguo Temple?
Why did you suddenly come back to the palace?
But what happened? "
“Your Excellency the Prime Minister does not know.
This king originally wanted to chant scriptures and worship Buddha quietly there for three days.
Who would have thought that such a good Qingguo Temple would be messed up by a group of vulgar people who came out of nowhere!
In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble that may arise;
To protect my own good reputation...
So he returned to the capital at night and hid in the palace!"
Xiao Jingyu answered frankly, his voice was not loud, but it was enough to ensure that all the ministers in the hall could hear him.
