Chapter 520 The Prince Actually Speaks for Him!
That night, the emperor held a Qionglin banquet in the palace to celebrate the new champion and the newly promoted jinshi.
At the banquet, those officials who came from aristocratic families would inevitably ridicule the prince openly and secretly, and some people even wanted to deliberately get the prince drunk and make him look ashamed in public.
Luo Qinghan's face was indifferent throughout the whole process, and he didn't even bother to give a single extra look to those who deliberately poured him alcohol.
He is the prince, as long as he doesn't want to drink, no one dares to force him to drink.
Those people were pissed off by his noble and glamorous appearance, but they had no choice but to take him away, and finally they could only walk away angrily.
Although some people dislike the prince, there are also many people who appreciate the prince.
In particular, the practical officials in the DPRK, as well as those who did not care much about their background, all favored the prince.
But due to some objective reasons, they did not dare to get too close to the prince, so as not to be suspicious of the coming emperor.
On such an occasion, they just politely toasted the prince with a glass of wine, and didn't say a word of extra.
This kind of style has the meaning of being a gentleman.
Li Qingyan, as the champion of the new division, was the focus of the banquet. Many people wanted to win him over. He was polite to everyone, but did not show any inclination.
For a while, everyone couldn't figure out what was in his mind.
With the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers came.
Li Qingyan raised his wine glass to the prince from a long distance away.
The prince glanced at him, but did not respond, exuding an inhumane cold air all over his body.
This scene fell in the eyes of other people, and they all felt that Zhuangyuan Lang wanted to show his favor to the prince, but unfortunately the prince didn't pay attention at all, so Zhuangyuan Lang became cold-faced and hot ass, asking himself for boredom.
There are even people who speculate in private, wondering if the champion has offended His Royal Highness the Prince?
Otherwise, the crown prince wouldn't even give Zhuang Yuanlang a little face.
After the song ended, the dancers retreated.
The new scholars recite poems and poems through Jiu Jin'er, and strive to show their talents.
The atmosphere at the banquet became more and more lively.
The table tops were filled with delicacies, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine.
Luo Qinghan didn't want to touch it at all.
Compared with these delicacies carefully prepared by the royal chef, he prefers the candied fruit given by Xiao Xixi.
There are five flavors in this world, but he only wants the sweetness given by her alone.
The feast lasted very late.
When the prince returned to Qingge Hall, Xiao Xixi was already lying on the bed and was sleeping soundly.
Luo Qinghan didn't want to let the smell of alcohol on his body get to Xiao Xixi.
He went to take a shower first, making sure there was no more alcohol on his body, and then lay down beside Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi, who was already asleep, felt that there was someone beside her, she opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw it was the prince, she felt relieved and consciously got into his arms.
Luo Qinghan hugged her and felt very at ease.
Tonight, the emperor rested in Yaohua Palace where Concubine Hui was located.
After Concubine Hui served the emperor, she saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to mention the marriage of her precious son.
"Your Majesty, in two months, Yechen will be twenty-two years old. At his age, he has several children, but he doesn't even have a princess. You should see if you should give it to him. Choose a good marriage?"
The emperor said helplessly: "I gave him a few marriages before, but he doesn't look down on others, so what can I do? Is it possible that I will force him to marry someone?"
Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "That's because he was young before and was not in a hurry to get married, but now that he is old, he will really be delayed if he doesn't get married, Yechen is your eldest son anyway, you are sure of his marriage. Use more snacks!"
"Okay, I got it."
Concubine Hui added: "The concubine doesn't have high requirements for her daughter-in-law, as long as she is good to Yechen, healthy and can help Yechen take care of the backyard. Of course, the appearance and character of the daughter-in-law should not be too bad, and the family background also If you want to live well, you can't feel wronged Yechen, do you think so?"
The emperor's head hurt when she talked about it, he closed his eyes and answered vaguely.
"Yeah, I'm sleepy. Go to sleep. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
...
the next day.
Luo Qinghan got up before dawn as usual.
He simply finished his breakfast and took the carriage to the Council Hall.
There have been a lot of impeachment memorials in the DPRK recently, and he understood the reasons in his heart, and he had anticipated them for a long time, so he didn't really care.
Since Qin Lie's death, there are only five ministers left in the cabinet, and the emperor has no plans to promote others into the cabinet for the time being.
When the five elders saw the prince coming, they all greeted him.
Luo Yechen was very upset, but he could only follow the others to greet the prince.
This is the convenience brought by the identity of the prince, even if he is the eldest brother, but because the other party is the prince, he can only bow his head and bow when he sees the other party.
Soon the emperor came.
After some greetings, they began to discuss business affairs.
There are still people who impeach the prince today, but the elders will know that the emperor does not like to hear about this, so they tacitly ignore the memorials.
The elders of the pavilion selected some important and urgent matters from the many memorials, and discussed with the emperor, the prince, and the king of England.
After finishing the business, the emperor deliberately left the prince and the king behind.
Knowing that they had housework to talk about, the patriarchs retired wisely.
The emperor took out a memorial and asked Gan Fu to send it to the King of England, indicating that the King of England had a look.
Luo Yechen picked up the memorial, unfolded it, and his expression changed immediately after reading it.
This is a memorial dedicated to the imperial censor's impeachment of the King of England.
Yesterday, King Ying quarreled with a woman in a restaurant, and even moved his hands. Many people have seen this with their own eyes.
After a censor knew about this, he felt that it had an extremely bad impact on the reputation of the royal family, so he wrote this memorial on purpose, impeaching the King of England was too arrogant and domineering, and humiliated the identity of the prince.
Luo Yechen defended: "Bu Shengyan provoked Erchen first, but Erchen only quarreled with her a few words, and it was not as serious as the memorial!"
The emperor asked leisurely, "But I heard people say that you have a very bad relationship with the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, and there have been conflicts before. Didn't you just move your hands after accumulating grievances for a long time yesterday?"
Luo Yechen was eager to clear his name, so he could only talk blindly.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, although the relationship between Erchen and Bu Shengyan is not particularly good, it is definitely not bad. There is no grievance between Erchen and her. It must be those people outside who are talking nonsense and making rumors. Don't believe it!"
The emperor turned to look at the prince standing beside him.
"I heard that you were there yesterday. Tell me, how is the relationship between King Ying and Dingyuanhou's daughter? Are they really accumulating deep grievances?"
Luo Yechen knew that the prince had a bad relationship with him. Seeing the father and the emperor asking the prince like this, Luo Yechen's heart suddenly became cold.
The prince will definitely take the opportunity to discredit him!
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Erchen is not very clear about the relationship between the eldest brother and Miss Bu, but judging from the relationship between the two yesterday, their relationship should be OK, and it is not as bad as the outside world. ."
Luo Yechen was immediately stunned.
He never imagined that the prince would actually speak for him!
