Chapter 172: That daughter of the prime minister...maybe she is a shortcut!
Xie Qinghuan ignored everyone's speculation.
Followed the Night King to the side hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he was so tired that he sat down on the chair.
Gently wave the round fan.
Yuzhu wiped the sweat off her face and put on makeup for her.
Chu Zhenye sat down across the table and motioned Chu Hanxiao to sit down.
He poured the tea and asked them with a smile:
"Have you been here for a long time?"
"Just arrived."
Chu Hanxiao was polite.
Xie Qinghuan, however, was full of resentment.
"I shouldn't have come here with my brother. You're making my face freeze from laughing!"
Chu Zhenye placed the tea in front of Xie Qinghuan.
Smile:
"We will wait here for the eldest prince to arrive before we go over."
Only then did Xie Qinghuan relax his brows.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Chu Hanxiao glanced at her smiling face indifferently.
Raise an eyebrow and drink tea.
Seeing this, Chu Zhenye took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.
"I wonder if my royal brother has heard about... the recent epidemic in Hanyang?"
Chu Hanxiao put down the teacup.
Nod.
"I've heard a bit. It is said that there is a severe drought in Hanyang, and the people have no food. They eat wild food and get sick..."
Chu Zhenye nodded, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.
Tips:
"The disaster is still spreading. If someone can control the epidemic and relieve my father's worries, then..."
Chu Hanxiao had thought about this before.
only……
"Doctors from all over the country have rushed to Hanyang, but there is no good news yet."
Xie Qinghuan became more excited.
She remembers...
There was also a commotion in Hanyang in the previous life.
It was after this disaster that Chu Hanxiao brought his master back to the palace.
Chu Hanxiao also said just now...
Doctors from all over the country rushed to Hanyang for rescue.
Then, will Master go too?
"I can also be a doctor, can I go and have a look?"
"no!"
"no!"
The words have not yet fallen.
The two brothers refused in unison.
They looked at each other and felt a little awkward.
Chu Zhenye cleared his throat and coughed lightly to make amends:
"The disaster in Hanyang is severe. Prime Minister Xie and General Luo will not let you take any risks."
"But……"
She wanted to find her master...
"No buts! Get rid of that idea."
Compared to Chu Zhenye's tactfulness, Chu Hanxiao can be described as rude and overbearing.
Xie Qinghuan rolled his eyes at him.
Although he didn't say it, his heart was already stirring...
The three of them sat for a stick of incense.
Report from the main hall.
"Your Highness, Miss Xie...The eldest prince has arrived at the palace gate."
Several people stood up.
Go to Guanghua Hall.
Xie Qinghuan found the Xie family seat and sat down in the back row.
She didn't want to attract too much attention.
how...
As soon as the emperor took his seat after all the officials had bowed to him, he called out her name.
"Qinghuan, why is you sitting so far away? Come on, come to me!"
Xie Qinghuan was helpless.
He had no choice but to stand up and salute slowly under the envious gazes of everyone.
Sat down next to the listless Chu Jiarou.
This guy……
Ever since Chu Yongji died, he has been completely down in the dumps.
It is said...
Even the chief executive was dismissed.
I guess he's pretty sad too.
Seeing that she was depressed, Xie Qinghuan quietly threw peanuts onto her table.
I don't know...
This guy gave her a blank look and turned his head away...
Xie Qinghuan was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.
He snorted and turned his head.
Then, Eunuch Sui Rong shouted.
The eldest prince entered the hall surrounded by the King of Dongzhou and others.
With tears in his eyes, he knelt down and saluted.
"Your Highness, I bow to you, Father!"
The emperor wanted to stand up to greet him.
He was about to stand up, but he saw two beautiful girls following him.
His face suddenly darkened!
What are you doing?
Doesn’t this rebellious son know that he wants him to meet Qinghuan?
He actually brought a woman back...
Then his tone turned cold and he chuckled:
"I'm glad you're back. Get up!"
The civil and military officials did not expect that the emperor would be so cold!
The originally wavering attitude became more firm.
Although Prince Ye is in poor health, at least he is not rejected by the Emperor!
This great prince...
I guess it’s cold!
Chu Yingji didn't expect the emperor to have this attitude.
In addition to being surprised, I also felt resentment.
Uncle Wang is right!
He was held hostage in the enemy country for so many years...
His father no longer considers him as his own son!
It seems...
If he wants the throne, he has to fight for it himself!
That daughter of the prime minister...
Maybe it's a shortcut!
Thinking of this, he came up with a plan in his mind.
Nodded and stood up.
"Thank you, Father."
"Well... sit down."
Sit with the King of Dongzhou until the Night King takes over.
He looked around the seats of the ministers with a casual gaze.
Seeing that there were no women at the Xie family's table, he thought that Xie Qinghuan was not present.
The attitude becomes more relaxed.
Two beautiful girls knelt on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, adding wine and serving food.
This was a habit he developed in Dong Liao.
The Emperor of Eastern Liao said:
A real man must have a beautiful wife and concubines to serve him by his side!
Otherwise, it is difficult to show the true character of a man!
He still believes in it today.
He has had concubines to serve him since he was twelve years old.
But this habit displeased the emperor.
What an occasion!
At the palace banquet!
All civil and military officials are here!
Do you think this is his home?
He, the emperor, is still sitting here!
Is he so unscrupulous?
He even wanted to introduce him to Qinghuan!
He really rubbed his face on the ground!!!
But this was his welcoming party.
All the civil and military officials were waiting to see his attitude...
He couldn't scold her.
That’s all.
Out of sight out of mind.
He patted his stuffy chest and stood up.
"I still have government affairs to attend to, my dear ministers...please do as you please!"
He glanced at Chu Yingji meaningfully, then walked away with Sui Rong's support.
"Farewell, Your Majesty—"
All the officials stood up and bowed, not hiding their surprise.
"The Emperor is leaving now? Is this...unsatisfied?"
"Didn't you see... then, what kind of moral character is that? Alas... the eldest prince was raised crooked by Dong Liao after all!"
Compared with other officials, he just enjoys watching the fun.
Luo Changfeng and Xie Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems...
This eldest prince is nothing to be feared!
Qinghuan doesn't have to worry about being arranged to marry anymore!
The two looked at each other.
nodded.
however……
The officials had just sat back in their seats, wanting to enjoy the palace delicacies.
But the eldest prince suddenly acted out of character.
"As I recall... Father has only one daughter, Jiarou. I wonder which princess is this one opposite?"
As soon as Chu Yingji sat down, he saw Xie Qinghuan sitting opposite him.
But he had never seen her before, and there was no nameplate on Xie Qinghuan's table.
He saw her as an equal to the princess.
Just treat her as your aunt's daughter!
Which princess is returning to visit her family?
he thought...
Such a beautiful person...
If you haven't arranged a marriage yet, it's better to have her by your side as a concubine!
I have endured humiliation for the country for so many years. If I want a woman, my father will not refuse to give her to me, right?
He looked at Xie Qinghuan opposite him with aggression, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Seeing this, the whole audience was silent...
Chu Hanxiao secretly clenched his fists, and Chu Zhenye frowned.
Chu Jiarou also became interested.
Turned around to watch the fun.
Seeing his frivolous words, Xie Qinghuan moved her jade fingers lightly and dropped the grapes in her hand.
Lift your eyelids slightly and look into his eyes.
There was clear disdain and contempt in his eyes.
This made Chu Yingji inexplicably angry.
But then I changed my mind and became interested again.
This chick is quite hot!
I like it!
Unexpectedly, without waiting for Xie Qinghuan to speak.
Xie Zhiqiu then stood up with Xie Tingzhou and Luo Changfeng.
He bowed, but his voice was full of warning.
"Your Highness has misunderstood. The girl next to the princess is our little girl, whose nickname is Qing Huan."
