Chapter 302 Sending Things
"My son has worked hard over the years." The emperor took a few deep breaths and forced back all the mist in his eyes. "Now that I know the prince's feelings, I must reward him well to appease his heart."
"Your Majesty." Xun Yuanbai hurriedly tried to stop him. "If Your Majesty gives me a reward at this time, wouldn't it prove that I am not trustworthy?"
"Then..." The emperor hesitated.
"Your Majesty, just pretend you don't know. It won't be too late to reward him later if there is a chance. In addition, as a son, Your Highness the Crown Prince is fulfilling his filial duty. Filial piety is something that is not intended for reward. Your Majesty just appreciates this."
After hearing what Xun Yuanbai said, the emperor nodded repeatedly, "Not bad."
"In that case, then all these matters will be handed over to the Crown Prince to handle."
This would not only fulfill the prince's filial piety, but also allow him to concentrate on practicing in Qingxu Palace.
"Your Majesty is wise." Xun Yuanbai bowed respectfully.
Shortly after Xun Yuanbai left Qingxu Palace, the emperor sent someone to convey an oral order, ordering the crown prince to enter the palace, and also summoned senior court officials with the same seniority as Tang Zhichuan to go to Zhongyuan Palace.
When the prince received the oral order, he did not dare to delay. He just stopped all the affairs in his hands and hurried into the palace.
On the way, I felt a little nervous.
Ever since the Emperor became obsessed with cultivating immortals and he strongly opposed it, the Emperor has been extremely displeased with him as the Crown Prince. When the situation was at its worst, he even found fault with him at will.
In recent years, the emperor would never summon him into the palace unless there was something special.
The fact that he was ordered to be summoned now clearly meant that there was something extremely important.
Moreover, this important event happened after Xun Yuanbai returned to Beijing.
Could it be that...
The prince didn't dare to think too much. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. He unconsciously clenched his fists in his sleeves.
After entering the palace gate, he headed all the way to Zhongyuan Palace and met Song Jingyun on the way.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Song Jingyun saluted.
"Lord Song." The prince's expression softened a little.
During the time they spent together in Guanghua Garden, the prince knew Song Jingyun's true talents and was very confident in him.
Others thought that Song Jingyun became the number one scholar because of his great luck and his habit of taking shortcuts, but the prince felt that Song Jingyun deserved the title and was smart enough.
Now, since Song Jingyun arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he has been always by the emperor's side. Not only has he not done anything absurd, but he has also guided the emperor to do many things that are beneficial to the state, such as reducing taxes, saving harem expenses, etc., which has made the prince admire him even more.
At this time, the prince's attitude towards Song Jingyun was also very gentle, "Lord Song is also going to Zhongyuan Palace?"
"That's right." Song Jingyun nodded, "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also be there, so I specially came here to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"In addition, I have something to give to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"What is it?" the prince was curious.
Song Jingyun handed a fist-sized brocade box to the prince.
The prince opened it and looked.
In the brocade box is a piece of fine white jade, carved into the shape of a lotus with exquisite workmanship. The veins of the lotus petals are clearly visible, and it looks lifelike.
"It is a very good thing." The prince closed the brocade box again, "But I cannot accept a gift without merit. Lord Song wants to give me such a good thing at this time. I don't know whether I should accept it or not."
"This item is to be given to His Royal Highness, but it is not to be given to His Royal Highness."
