Chapter 1399: He clearly treated the little girl from the Su family as his own
As the newly crowned Crown Prince, Xuanyuan Jin's every move naturally attracted much attention.
Especially the girls, their faces were blushing, looking at each other again and again.
They were not interested in the verbal battle on the scene, but were interested in the handsome Crown Prince.
At this moment, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exchanging glances with Princess Ford...
Well, in their eyes, it was clearly Tang Bao flirting with Xuanyuan Jin.
So, when these girls looked at Xuanyuan Jin, they were shy and timid, but when they looked at Tang Bao, their eyes became sharp.
Tang Bao: “…”
I rubbed my nose and felt the cool breeze around me.
My nose is just a little itchy.
Xuanyuan Jin understood the meaning in Tang Bao's eyes and shook his head slightly at Tang Bao with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Tang Bao could only sigh helplessly.
It turns out that this little brother has character and integrity!
Don't do anything like currying favor with the emperor and getting something for nothing.
Tang Bao had no idea that she was the one who said the words and raised the banner, so Xuanyuan Jin would naturally not do anything to embarrass her.
In Xuanyuan Jin's opinion, since his father couldn't bear to punish the Bai family and the second prince, then he could just slap himself in the face.
Anyway, the order to thoroughly investigate this matter was given by my father himself.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at the eldest master of the Bai family with cold eyes.
It is truly despicable that an official appointed by the imperial court and the head of a prominent family could do such a thing.
It not only brought disgrace upon all officials of Dayan and affected the reputation of Dayan, but also corrupted the morale of the court.
Even if there are not as many conspiracies and tricks behind this matter as Tang Bao said, if this unhealthy trend is not severely punished, it may affect Dayan's fortune.
I have to say that this kind of thing of spreading rumors and creating trouble and slandering a girl's reputation just because of changes in her children's marriage is really too mean and vicious, and too shameful!
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at the eldest master of the Bai family, then looked at the second prince, with an even colder look in his eyes.
He didn't even need to guess to know that his second brother must be too ambitious and wanted to win over the Bai family and add fuel to the fire.
The brotherhood that was already rare was completely destroyed when the second prince insisted on having his eyes on Tang Bao.
Now there is not even a trace of it left, only disgust.
When Tang Bao saw that Xuanyuan Jin was unwilling to give the emperor a way out, she thought that the emperor was very good to her, so why not build a ladder for the emperor herself.
Although, it was he who pushed the emperor over the wall.
However, just as Tang Bao was about to speak, Princess Mingli chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, what the Second Prince said is absolutely right. These are just a few rumors. Why bother mobilizing so many troops?"
"Mingli will be marrying the Second Prince soon. If the atmosphere in the capital is too tense, it will only disrupt the festive mood and bring bad luck."
Princess Mingli paused when she spoke, a hint of pride appearing on her face.
He continued, "Mingli is the Princess of Western Qin. Now she is marrying into Dayan, cultivating a century-long friendship between the two countries. Even if the Emperor doesn't issue a general amnesty, he should at least order the people of the capital to hang red and colorful ornaments in every household. How can he cause such panic and destroy all joy?"
Princess Mingli finished speaking and winked at Tang Bao provocatively.
Tang Bao: “…”
He rolled his eyes toward the sky.
I don't know you!
You are getting a great deal out of this great favor... No!
A light bulb went off in Tang Bao's head.
Some words I say are favors, but they are threats to you.
And, that tone?
Oh!
Tang Bao's mouth curled up and she gave Princess Mingli a gloating smile.
Princess Mingli suddenly realized that something was wrong.
As expected, Emperor Tianxi's eyes darkened.
"Is Princess Mingli teaching me how to do things?" Emperor Tianxi asked in a deep voice.
Princess Mingli was shocked.
Too complacent!
It’s all Su Tang’s fault!
Even though she was unwilling, Princess Mingli quickly apologized.
"Mingli wouldn't dare. Soon, she'll be the royal daughter-in-law. How could she dare to interfere with the emperor's decision?" Princess Mingli said respectfully, "But Mingli has always been outspoken. I believe what the Second Prince says is reasonable. Naturally, we must follow the customs of Dayan and support the Second Prince."
Princess Mingli's respectful attitude made Emperor Tianxi look better.
The second prince was very moved.
It seems that this Princess Xi Qin is really deeply in love with me.
The second prince couldn't help but feel very proud.
Although, he was still a little angry at Princess Mingli for making a bet between him and Tangbao.
However, he also knew in his heart that even without Princess Mingli's interference, Tang Bao would never marry him.
The second prince thought of this and glanced at Xuanyuan Jin.
Humph! Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?
It's obvious that you have already regarded the little girl from the Su family as your own!
The second prince gave Xuanyuan Jin a look that was filled with contempt and jealousy!
The eldest master of the Bai family seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the princess is getting married tomorrow, the second prince will also be getting married soon, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon be canonized. These are all great joyous events that everyone in the world will celebrate..."
"In my opinion, we cannot allow idle gossip to disrupt the festive atmosphere of the capital. It would be more appropriate to hand the case over to the governor's office for a secret investigation and to close it as soon as possible."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Are you jumping up and down like this because you're afraid that you can't express your guilty conscience completely?
Are you afraid that others don't know that you have people in the governor's office?
Emperor Tianxi gave the eldest master of the Bai family an unfathomable look.
stupid!
So stupid!
He never knew that his cousin was so stupid!
Emperor Tianxi had no intention of paying any attention to his stupid cousin.
After all, if you are stupid, timid and cowardly, you won't be able to accomplish anything great.
Emperor Tianxi feigned contemplation and said, "That does make sense. In this case, we will hand it over to the Governor's Office and... we will close the case within three days."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The eldest master of the Bai family's heart fell to the ground.
I almost couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from my forehead.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the eldest master of the Bai family with disdain.
If I had known that this cousin was so stupid, I would have just given him a sinecure in the court.
The eldest master of the Bai family had no idea that his actions had given the emperor a new understanding of him.
At the same time, it also cut off his path to promotion in this life.
After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, all the civil and military officials exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise."
However, they exchanged knowing glances secretly.
In short, as long as the emperor is happy, that's all.
Xuanyuan Jin pursed his lips, looking displeased. Thinking of the Empress Dowager, he didn't say anything in the end.
Even if the eldest master of the Bai family is not a decent person, he is still the nephew of the Empress Dowager, right?
Tang Bao, on the other hand, didn't look unhappy at all.
The eldest master and the second prince of the Bai family have confessed their crimes.
Even if no one said anything, the character of these two people has plummeted to the bottom.
In this way, Tang Bao’s goal was achieved.
