Chapter 131: A Willful Time
When the large group of people arrived at Haiyun Pavilion, Feng Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and all the officials were already waiting here.
The real tribute ceremony will be held in the Ministry of Rites two days later. After a greeting that is indistinguishable from the true or false, the envoys were led to settle in the courtyard of different regulations.
As early as the Shangshu and his men came out, Song Chuxuan turned his horse and left.
Song Yifeng did not have as much face or courage as he had. He waited until the other princes left one after another, and then he rushed to the Jin Palace.
As soon as Lin Yaxi returned to the palace, she headed straight to Song Chuxuan's study. She thought he would not go back so quickly. As soon as she stepped into the study, she saw the man sitting behind the door, motionless behind the desk.
He is pretending to sleep, meditating, or thinking about life?
Lin Yaxi walked gently to the side of the ring chair and sat down.
"Why don't you talk?"
"I don't want to disturb you, Prince."
After waiting for a while, she couldn't help asking. "Today, Chunmei and I also went to see the envoys enter the capital. We saw someone from afar and felt very familiar..."
"Yeah. You're right."
Lin Yaxi jumped out of the chair in shock. "Really? The prince knows who I am referring to?"
Before I got the answer, another person broke in outside. He didn't even breathe, so the person came to ask in one breath
"Uncle Emperor! Why didn't you wait for me just now? You know I must come and ask clearly. Is that prince of Longhua the only one Gong Chenxue?"
Song Chuxuan turned around, his dark eyes clearly blew, and it was unclear, but he only replied with one word.
"yes."
Song Yifeng opened his mouth wide. "When did the emperor know? I remember, you called him Beigong Chenxue before you saw anyone? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
Realizing that his suspected questioning was inappropriate, he hurriedly explained.
"I mean, Gong Chenxue had lived in Tianyuan and lived in the Jin Palace for so long. And he is now a native of Longhua and the prince!
Among the four countries, although Longhua has always maintained neutrality in foreign countries, it is necessary to guard against others. Moreover, it is understandable to compete between countries to seek benefits for their own country.
Uncle, you know him the most. Do you think he will do something unfavorable to Tianyuan Kingdom?”
The royal family's political awareness is indeed high, even Song Yifeng, who is the least concerned about political affairs.
Lin Yaxi felt ashamed. When she was still worried about her family, the fifth prince was already taking care of everyone!
"Fifth Prince, you have a cup of tea and take a breath."
The girl filled a cup and handed it to him.
"Old Tie, are you hiding it? Unexpectedly, your acumen to capture political affairs is also very powerful."
In Pingcheng for nearly half a month, Song Yifeng's face was two degrees darker than usual, and he was less immature than before.
"Look at me, I forgot to say hello to my sister Yaxi when I was anxious."
"Don't rush this, let's talk about it in detail later. In the past half month, you have missed too much. Especially the progress of Yunxiang Huaxiang, you will definitely not expect it!
However, I just heard you say that Gong Chenxue’s affairs should not be that serious, right? Didn’t he grow up with the prince since he was a child? And then again, how did he know that he is from Longhua?"
Song Yifeng clapped his hands. "Yes, when else do you know?"
Song Chuxuan rubbed his eyebrows. The two of them met hundreds of thousands of reasons, which really made him feel a headache.
"Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow night to welcome the envoys of various countries. At that time, you can just ask him directly?"
"Can I go too?"
Lin Yaxi really wants to know the answer this time.
"Well. I will order someone to send you Gong Yan's costume tomorrow night."
Clothing specially prepared for banquets? This...isn't that good?
How would he introduce himself to others? Even ghosts would not believe him if he was an ordinary guest!
Depending on the prince's personality, how could he bring a female guest to the palace to the banquet? Moreover, there would be no species like a female guest in the palace of Jin.
As for girlfriends, this was in ancient times when marriage was arranged, and Lin Yaxi knew it himself.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. It's best for me to be here with your personal maid."
Song Yifeng was still immersed in shock at Song Chuxuan's answer. In his eyes, the Eighth Emperor Uncle knew everything and everything.
"Even the emperor uncle doesn't know what Gong Chenxue is doing?"
Too lazy to explain more, the man said, "I will enter the palace now and report to Your Majesty. If nothing happens, the five emperors will leave together."
No, he just arrived.
"Since the emperor's uncle has urgent matters to enter the palace, then go first? He rushed back from Pingcheng last night and got up early to greet the envoy today. I will be so tired now. The emperor's uncle will let the emperor's nephew rest for a while in the mansion."
"No. Nighthawk, take off guests."
After a moment of rest, he really believed his evil thoughts. Isn't it just to rely on Lin Yaxi to refuse to leave? He must not tolerate such stupid things as attracting wolves into the house.
--
Sitting in the carriage to the palace, Song Chuxuan's thoughts were messy.
In fact, after he had confirmed that Lin Yaxi was not a detailed work by the enemy country, he had suspected Gong Chenxue.
But he never wanted to believe that the friends who had accompanied him and who had supported each other were in the end because of a conspiracy and plot.
He lost his mother since childhood. Although he was the youngest son of the late emperor and was no different from the current princes, he always had to pretend to be a mature adult and live a hard life.
No matter how steady and self-supportive he is on the outside, Song Chuxuan himself knows how envious and jealous he is when he sees other children suffer from grievances and acts coquettishly with their mothers.
Even if those women are only in constant positions or talented, they are not as good as ordinary officials' concubines. But if they can, they are willing to exchange their own dignity for that luxurious maternal love.
I thought that even though the family affection was weak, he still had a friendship worth cherishing. Unfortunately, is it really there?
Song Chuxuan smiled bitterly. It was like a person drinking water, and he knew the cold and warmth.
The bitterness and bitterness spread quietly like a web, wrapping his heart around and tugging. But he was no longer able to struggle...
"I, do you want it?"
A sentence suddenly appeared in my mind for no reason.
As if he was saved by the four words sweetened into his heart, the man's dissipated consciousness finally grabbed the duckweed and gradually concentrated.
That was what Lin Yaxi said to him on his last big adventure on the pleasure boat of Qiqiao Festival. The girl twisted into a mess is shy, but her smile is still bright, confident and bold as always.
Even though she knew it was a joke, Song Chuxuan wanted to take it seriously. Just let him be willful this time!
The carriage slowly stopped outside the imperial study room. Eunuch Fu bowed in front of him, lifted the curtain, revealing the handsome man inside.
Chapter completed!
