Chapter 175 Recommended Candidates

"And don't worry, my husband. I will give you some advice."

Huo Siyuan was still a little drunk, but he was completely sober now.

His eyes were shining with excitement, and he didn't look drunk at all. He took Liang Shanyu's hand and said in a high voice, "Are you serious?"

Liang Shanyu sighed softly and moved closer: "My dear husband, don't forget that I have predicted the prince's secret hobbies. How can I lie to you about these things?"

This was true. With this precedent, Huo Siyuan no longer doubted Liang Shanyu. He hurriedly tidied his clothes and turned to go to the Prince's Mansion.

He had not returned home all night and was worried that the old lady might run into Marquis Huo, so he turned around and changed direction, planning to enter and exit through the small door of the Marquis's mansion.

It just so happened that the two women with special physiques that he had just found for the prince were secretly sent to the small gate of the marquis' mansion.

If he met her, he would just take her along. This would also be an excuse for him to return to the Prince's Mansion so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

The prince leaned on the chaise longue by the window, propped up his head with one hand and closed his eyes for a nap.

The servant hurried to the prince's side and whispered something in his ear.

The prince opened his eyes, a glimmer of light reflected in his narrow pupils: "Let him wait for me in the front hall. As for the two beauties he brought, take them to the backyard."

Huo Siyuan sat in the front hall, eagerly waiting for the prince to arrive.

The Crown Prince had also indulged himself last night and even attended the morning court. He looked completely listless now. Sitting in the main seat, he looked lazily at Huo Siyuan and asked, "Are you here just to present a beautiful woman?"

"No, I'm here to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Huo Siyuan immediately stood up and saluted.

The prince stared at Huo Siyuan with a half-smile and raised his chin, motioning him to continue.

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to establish a refugee management department, but the personnel have not yet been decided. I would like to ask the Crown Prince to introduce them."

The emperor mentioned this matter during the morning court session, so it was not surprising that Huo Siyuan knew the news.

However, the prince also had some doubts about Huo Siyuan's abilities.

"Managing refugees is a tough job. Are you sure you can do it?" The prince picked up the teacup but did not drink the tea. He just used the heat to block his gaze and stared at Huo Siyuan.

Huo Siyuan thought of Liang Shanyu's words and said confidently, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. If I get this position, I will work diligently and conscientiously. My father will also help me. I will not bring shame to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince's brows relaxed, as if he was considering this possibility.

In fact, the prince knew what was going on. He knew that the emperor favored Huo Jinjian, the eldest son of the Huo family.

But Huo Jin saw that no one was on his side.

Now he understands the prince's situation and needs more support and bargaining chips.

After a moment's thought, the prince's gaze returned to Huo Siyuan.

He chuckled and said, "Go back. I will help you. Come, prepare the sedan chair to enter the palace."

Hearing that the prince was about to set off, Huo Siyuan was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace. I will do my utmost to serve you!"

When the prince passed by Huo Siyuan, he glanced at the top of his head with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

He knew Huo Siyuan's abilities.

Such a person is indeed a good partner for him to have fun with, but if he really lets him become an official through him, the prince can't help but worry whether he will be a burden to him.

But on second thought, if Huo Siyuan became an official of the Refugee Management Department, in order to preserve the reputation of the Huo family, Huo Hou and Huo Jin would naturally help.

In this way, the prince who introduced Huo Siyuan could gain face in front of the emperor without any risk.

This is more beneficial to the prince than directly letting Huo Jin take up the post of the Refugee Management Department.

After weighing the pros and cons, the prince was willing to give it a try.

The prince knelt before the emperor who was reviewing memorials and paid his respects.

"I have come here to share your father's worries."

The emperor did not move his head, but raised his eyes slightly, stared at the prince kneeling in front of him, and said calmly: "Stand up and talk."

The imperial study was decorated with mahogany and nanmu ubiquitous golden dragons with five claws, which exuded the majesty of the emperor. Even the crown prince, who enjoyed great fame and glory in the outside world, did not dare to overstep the boundaries.

"Thank you, Father."

The Crown Prince stood up and tentatively stated his intention, "Father, during this morning's court session, there was a heated debate over who should take the position of Director of the Refugee Administration Department. I, however, have a good candidate."

The emperor finally stopped his movements. He put away the memorial in his hand, sat on the dragon throne behind him, and looked straight at the prince.

The Crown Prince then continued, "Marquis Huo has been loyal to the country for three generations. Managing the refugees will inevitably involve a large amount of disaster relief funds. If someone from the Marquis' Mansion is appointed, your father will naturally feel more at ease."

When the emperor heard the prince mention the Marquis' Mansion, his expression improved a lot and he nodded for him to continue.

"I believe that the second young master of the Marquis' Mansion, Huo Siyuan, is brave, resourceful, and ambitious, and can be employed."
