Chapter Seventeen: Investigating the Rebellion Case by Order
"Thank you, Father, for the reward!" Bo Jinnian and Song Yan said in unison, kneeling in gratitude.
Glancing out of the corner of her eye, Song Yan saw that the Crown Prince's expression was not very good, and it was hard to get angry due to the occasion.
Of course Song Yan knew why. The prince had spent so much energy and wanted to show it off today, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother didn't even look at him.
On the contrary, Bo Jinnian's unexpected broken ear attracted much attention.
Besides, he was still a deposed King of Qin, and he was easily defeated by him. His whole face looked not very good. If the Crown Princess hadn't reminded him, he would have almost lost his composure.
Emperor Qing was originally dissatisfied with the prince's growing power, and he didn't like Bo Yi from the beginning. He always felt dissatisfied. After being the crown prince for so many years, he had not made any progress at all.
It was also because of the power behind the queen that Bo Yi was appointed as the prince. Now, the prince's power has begun to give him a headache. Even the current prince has begun to act unscrupulously in front of him. If he does not check and balance the prince, he may not be able to wait for him.
If you abdicate, you will be forced into the palace.
Emperor Qing looked at his son, Bo Jinnian, in front of him, and an idea came to his mind that could perfectly solve the current situation.
That is to support a prince to compete with the prince.
However, among the current princes, only the second prince Bo Yan and the ninth prince Bo Jinnian are adults. The others are all young. The eldest prince is the prince Bo Yi.
The rest of the adults, the third to the eighth, are all princesses. In the past few years when Bo Jinnian was ill, Emperor Qing did not marry less daughters for the sake of peace on the border. This is all a story for another day.
Emperor Qing thought about it and found that the only one who could use him was Bo Jinnian.
Amid everyone's envious gazes, Emperor Qing turned his attention to Song Yan, the concubine of Qin who was standing aside.
"Are you Princess Qin?" He then asked and answered himself, "I have heard of your reputation a long time ago. If it weren't for you, Jinnian would not have recovered so quickly. You are a meritorious person."
Song Yan didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly reward her.
"It's just that what I didn't expect is that Princess Qin is so young. Tell me, while I am happy today, I can satisfy you whatever you want."
Emperor Qing looked like he was talking to a child.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is really a bit young.
Thinking back to the ridiculous thing that happened to celebrate the occasion, Emperor Qing felt that it was hard to save his face. However, this matter was decided by the Queen Mother, and it was not easy for him to interfere.
"Thank you, Father. It's all my duty. I really don't dare to ask for rewards." Song Yan said. She was indeed not interested in these rewards. The Song family was the richest man in the capital. Although the original owner was bullied by his aunt in the palace, there were many people in the family.
There are so many interesting things to see.
And Song Yan is a person who has died once, and she takes these external things lightly. She cares more about people. Living is the most important thing, and being a family is the most important thing.
What she hopes is that the emperor can release the original owner's father from prison, which can be regarded as fulfilling the original owner's last wish.
But Emperor Qing said the words of the reward, but he didn't expect to be rejected, and the rejection was so overwhelming that he couldn't refute it.
It's not easy to force it.
Seeing my son and daughter-in-law kneeling in front of me, I felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly turned her head and whispered a few words.
Emperor Qing cleared his throat. Everyone present was waiting for Princess Qin to be dealt with. After all, Princess Qin refused the emperor's kindness. Not everyone can do this kind of thing. This was a direct slap in the emperor's face.
.
The expressions of gloating on many people's faces could no longer be hidden.
"The Song family is a wealthy businessman in the Daqing Kingdom, and they have made great contributions to the Daqing Kingdom. Your father is involved in the rebellion case. I will find out this matter for you." Emperor Qing said.
Song Yan thought to herself that this old man was quite humane. She was beaming with joy and said: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. My emperor is wise and will definitely understand everything and give my father justice."
"Well, you don't want any other rewards, so I will grant you a visit to the prison tomorrow." Emperor Qing said again.
Bo Jinnian pulled Song Yan and quickly knelt down: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness."
This involves a case of rebellion, and the people being imprisoned are not people who can see it if they want to.
It is already a great grace for Princess Qin to see it.
"In that case, let Jin Nian handle this matter." The emperor said slowly.
After finishing the work, the Queen Mother complained: "You think of me as the imperial study room."
"Okay, okay, I will complete the imperial edict tomorrow. This is the Queen Mother's birthday. Everyone, please use your chopsticks." Emperor Qing said.
The family's happy scene immediately resumed, but the news in the harem had already spread outside the palace.
