Chapter 97 The Emperor Arrives
The right assistant minister was nervous, but Chen Xiao was very happy.
After collecting the official documents, Chen Xiao and the prefect looked at each other and both smiled.
The ministers around him did not know Chen Xiao, nor did they know what official position he was, but they were very unhappy with this young man who was below the fourth rank and who was in the third rank rank and spoke vulgar words.
Although everyone can't figure out why the imperial prefect is so good at Chen Xiao...
At this time, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice finally couldn't help but get up, walked to Chen Xiao, and said with a smile:
"That... Mr. Chen, we have a misunderstanding. You are not aware of the villain's mistakes. Can you be proud of your actions..."
"Right Assistant Minister, did you say that two days ago?" Chen Xiao sneered.
The right assistant minister swallowed his anger and said, "Official Chen, I am willing to give you 50,000 taels of silver. Let's make up for our past grudges. How about it?"
Chen Xiao curled his lips: "It's boring to talk about money!"
"Oh, my ancestor, what do you want to let me go?" The right assistant minister wanted to kneel down.
Chen Xiao shook his head firmly: "For those innocent people who have been tortured to death, and for those sinners who have been free from justice because of your favoritism, I will never let you go!"
"You...you..."
The right assistant minister was so angry. If he knew that Chen Xiao could come here today, he would not be so stupid to let Chen Xiao collect his evidence of his crime!
But now, what can I do?
Sighing, the right assistant minister went back and sat down unwillingly.
However, this scene surprised many people. How could a mere official under the fourth rank, a third rank minister come over and bend down to talk to him? Moreover, this young man did not stand up from beginning to end...
Just when everyone was confused, a beautiful girl in a blue long dress came over.
Everyone looked at it, isn’t this the daughter of the third prince, Princess Yelan?
Princess Yelan is very beautiful and she wears it tonight with a very elegant temperament.
But at this moment, his face was gloomy and covered with frost.
Under the gaze of countless young princes, nobles and young officials, she reached behind Chen Xiao.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was still chatting with the prefect, pointing to the drink on the table and saying:
"This kind of wine is like urine and is hard to drink compared to the wine in my restaurant."
When Princess Yelan heard "urination" and "difficult to drink", she instantly evoked some unbearable memories, and her face became even more gloomy, as if she wanted to kill someone.
"you!"
She spoke coldly!
Chen Xiao was stunned, turned around and looked at Princess Yelan, and said, "Huh? You were not the one who took advantage of me that night and looked at me..."
"Stop..." Princess Yelan's face turned ashen.
She yelled in her heart: I was so bloody that I was soaked by you. You said that I took advantage of you after seeing you?
"Uh..." Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly.
"She asked me to bring you a message, she will come soon, so that you can perform better tonight and leave a good impression on that person."
After saying that, Princess Yelan turned around and left.
Chen Xiao thought to himself: That person? The emperor is the emperor, he is so mysterious.
The people around were even more shocked. Princess Yelan actually came over to chat with this boy below the fourth grade?
Some young officials and the children of princes and nobles looked at Chen Xiao jealously.
At the same time, the prefect asked Chen Xiao: "Do you know Princess Yelan?"
"Princess?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.
The prefect nodded: "That's right, when the younger brother of Qingyuanhou, Zheng Qingshan, was a gathering of a group of princes and nobles, the guy got drunk and lay on the ground to touch Princess Yelan's feet. He held Princess Yelan's legs and teased him, so he was punished for the death penalty of teasing Princess Yelan."
Chen Xiao was stunned: "Is that princess who was teasing that guy, she?"
Suddenly, Chen Xiao felt guilty.
I thought I would be sentenced to death by holding her legs. I mistakenly treated her as a ghost that night... Shouldn't I cut her into pieces?
She swallowed, thinking that she must have no shame to say this...
After calming down, I remembered the words that Princess Ye Lan brought, it must be Long Jiuling who asked her to take them.
Better performing?
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, then sat quietly with a faint smile, and stopped talking.
Time passed little by little, and more than a hundred ministers present who were qualified to come came.
In addition, royal relatives, princes and nobles have also been present. Almost all of them have been in the huge square in hundreds of places.
There is a red carpet in the middle. At the end of the red carpet is the seat of the emperor, a wide dragon chaise, and there are many luxurious seats and tables on both sides, all of which belong to several big figures in the palace.
It was already dark, and at this time, some concubines from the harem also came and sat down below the throne.
Then there were some princes and princesses, who were below the concubines.
Next are the princes and nobles, royal relatives, and then the ministers.
Around them, countless eunuchs and palace maids were serving them, and in the distance, they were all guarded by the Imperial Guards.
Soon, someone came out of the harem again. It was an old woman in her seventies who was dressed simply, but there were many maids and eunuchs around her.
As soon as she arrived, everyone present stood up and bowed, shouting: "Welcome the Queen Mother, how can the Queen Mother be healthy?"
Chen Xiao also stood up and saluted.
The old woman looked kind and smiled and said while walking, "Ankang, Ankang, everyone, let's sit!"
Everyone shouted: "Thank you, Empress Dowager..."
Everyone sat down when the Empress Dowager sat on a chair carved with a phoenix next to the throne.
A beautiful woman in her forties sat next to the Queen Mother. At this moment, the beautiful woman spoke:
"Mother, why haven't the emperor's brother come yet?"
The Empress Dowager shook her head: "I don't know either..."
And at this moment, the emperor is already on the road.
Next to him was Long Jiuling and Princess Yelan.
Long Jiuling was particularly excited. The emperor smiled and couldn't help but glance at his daughter, laughing: "You girl, is it that?"
Long Jiuling laughed and said, "I haven't seen each other for almost a month, I'm happy..."
"You sit next to me later, don't run around!" said the emperor.
Long Jiuling was immediately disappointed and said at the same time: "Father, you won't make things difficult for him today, right?"
"Uh... I think he doesn't make things difficult for me, it's a good thing..." The emperor smiled bitterly.
Maybe it was because he drank alcohol many times with Chen Xiao as an ordinary person and he was very embarrassed every time.
Therefore, now the emperor feels that even if he appears in front of Chen Xiao as an emperor, Chen Xiao may not be afraid of him!
At least, he felt that he was not used to posing as a prince in front of Chen Xiao...
In fact, the emperor was a little nervous.
Soon, the emperor came to the square, and the old eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty is here..."
