Chapter 96 Visiting the Set Again
At the morning court the next day, the prince secretly observed the emperor's attitude towards the third prince. Today, the third prince completed a task, and the emperor praised the third prince highly. This scene was extremely eye-catching.
Some situations that seemed insignificant to the prince in the past now seemed to be all due to his father's preference for the third brother. This also made the prince begin to believe that yesterday's situation was a trap set by the emperor and Concubine Yan.
After the court session, the third prince came before the crown prince with the intention of showing off. Before he could say anything, the crown prince snorted, waved his sleeves and left.
The third prince looked at the crown prince's arrogant look and felt a surge of anger in his heart. He thought, "He just has a good father, so why is he so arrogant?" Then the third prince turned around and left.
After the court session, Zheng Yun and Wei Rong did not leave, but asked to see the emperor. When the emperor heard the eunuch's report, he was not surprised and let the two in.
"Your humble servant, your son pays homage to Your Majesty." The two men bowed respectfully.
"Everyone, get up, Xiao Dezi, and take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Father."
"Xiao Dezi, give them the imperial edict." The emperor said helplessly. He was the emperor. Although he knew that the queen and the prince had gone too far yesterday, as the king of a country, he could not apologize to his subjects and son.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Father." The two men received the imperial edict and saluted in unison.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back. I still have official business to attend to." The emperor picked up a memorial and pretended to be busy.
"Yes, your humble servant. I'll take my leave." The two of them looked at each other, then tactfully stood up and left. The most urgent thing was to ensure that their marriage was foolproof.
After leaving the palace, the two opened the imperial edict and saw that it ordered them to get married within two months. In order to prevent the prince from doing anything out of line again, the Grand Tutor planned to let Zheng Su concentrate on embroidering the wedding dress at home until the time of her wedding.
On the other side, the prince came to Fengxiang Palace in anger. The queen asked the prince distressedly, "What happened? Who made you angry?"
"Dad, I think what the eunuch said that day might be true. The emperor has been praising the third brother the whole time today. Maybe the emperor wants me to be a shield for the third brother. The heir he really wants may not be me." The prince became more and more angry as he thought about it.
"Son, don't worry. Your father is getting older and older. I believe that day is not far away. The third prince must not be able to stay. Don't worry, I will pass the message to your grandfather. That position can only be yours." The queen said with a sullen face.
"Can't the emperor just step down earlier?" The prince couldn't help but complain.
"Be careful with your words." After hearing the prince's outrageous words, the queen quickly looked around and was relieved to see that there was no one around. However, the prince's words also reminded her.
If the emperor had died earlier, his son would have been the legitimate emperor and perhaps he could have done something.
"Don't meddle in this matter. Daddy is here to take care of everything. Just don't cause any trouble." The Queen reminded.
"I understand, Daddy." Every time the Crown Prince came to Fengxiang Palace, the Queen would nag him, and he was tired of listening to her.
After leaving Fengxiang Palace, the prince went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion. His only hobby on weekdays was to ask Zhao Yu to go to a brothel together. Some time ago, the two of them played a little too much, and they spent a lot of money to suppress the matter.
This was exactly the reason why Zhao Yu was plotting to get Wei Yang's dowry. The two heard that a new courtesan had appeared in Chunfeng Tower recently, so they made an appointment to go drink wine together.
Xia Yanjing now goes to the East Market every day to monitor the progress of the demolition. Zhang Mu has brought a lot of people here, and in five days, everything will be demolished, but the money will be spent quickly.
Fortunately, the ice shops in the East and West Markets were making considerable profits, and they had recently introduced edible ice, so Xia Yanjing felt that he could fully support the construction of a high-end restaurant.
As for the Stone Forest Villa, most of the stones have been removed. Since they are going to build a wall later, all the stones that can be used to build the wall have been left behind. I believe they can start building the villa soon.
The military camp has been very busy recently. The autumn hunt will be coming soon, and His Majesty has assigned this task to Shengxia. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the autumn hunt, Shengxia has been staying in the military camp during this period and has not been home for many days. This has also made Xia Yanjing very resentful.
Since Shengxia was not coming back and no one said he couldn't go, Xia Yanjing made up his mind to go to the military camp to find Shengxia. What if the deputy general Huo in the military camp seduced Shengxia while he was away? No, he had to go and claim his sovereignty.
This time when he went to the military camp, Xia Yanjing specially brought a whole carriage of ice to the camp, and all of it was edible, so that all the men in the camp could drink ice water.
When Xia Yanjing came this time, the guards were no longer the same as before and did not recognize Xia Yanjing at all, so he said he wanted to go in and report. Xia Yanjing also understood that it was a good thing to perform one's duties conscientiously.
"General, there is a man outside the barracks who claims to be your husband and wants to see you." The soldier ran to the general's tent and said respectfully.
As soon as Shengxia heard it, he knew that Xia Yanjing had come. He was thinking that he must take time to go back and accompany Xia Yanjing in the next two days, but he didn't expect that Xia Yanjing would come to the military camp to find him.
Shengxia walked quickly towards the gate of the military camp. He missed Xia Yanjing very much after not seeing him for a few days.
Shengxia saw Xia Yanjing standing outside the military camp from afar. He put on a big smile and jogged quickly. When he came in front of Xia Yanjing, he stopped. After all, there were many people around, otherwise he would have given Xia Yanjing a big hug.
"Yan Jing, come in quickly." Sheng Xia took Xia Yanjing into the military camp, and the carriage behind him also followed Xia Yanjing in.
Shengxia brought Xia Yanjing to her tent. When the tent curtain fell, Xia Yanjing walked up to Shengxia, hugged her, and kissed her deeply.
"Xia Xia, you are so cruel. You didn't even come home after so many days." Xia Yanjing complained while hugging Sheng Xia.
"I'm trying to find time to go back these two days." Shengxia said a little guiltily.
"No more talking, let me kiss you again." Xia Yanjing didn't want to waste time talking, so he hugged Shengxia and continued to kiss her.
Gradually, the two of them got closer and closer to the bed behind them. Xia Yanjing held Shengxia's head and lay down gently, his hand dishonestly reaching in through the collar.
"No, I have something to do later." Shengxia held down Xia Yanjing's dishonest hand and stopped Xia Yanjing's actions with a gasp.
Xia Yanjing buried his whole body in Shengxia's shoulder, taking deep breaths continuously, trying to calm his restless body.
"Then you compensate me tonight." Xia Yanjing looked at Shengxia and said.
"Okay, I promise you, get up quickly." Shengxia also wanted to.
Xia Yanjing leaned against Shengxia's shoulders and arched his back twice, then stood up reluctantly. Everything would wait until the evening.
