Chapter 145: Seeing the father and emperor is not diligent
Now the weather in Zhaoyue is smooth and the seas and rivers are clear. Most of the news sent from various places every day are to express greetings. There is nothing that needs to be decided by the ministers?
Emperor Xiaoxian "chatted" with the officials for a few words, during which he kept observing Zhan Wenxuan's expression. However, Zhan Wenxuan stood expressionlessly below as usual, waiting for his father to announce his intention to leave the court.
After the morning court ended, Emperor Xiaoxian did not leave immediately. Instead, his eyes fell on Zhan Wenxuan for a few seconds before giving Wan Cheng a wink.
Wan Cheng immediately understood what Emperor Xiaoxian meant and nodded lightly.
At that time, Zhan Wenyu and Zhan Wenxuan were standing together, talking about going to visit Concubine De. But before they left the hall, Wan Cheng came over first.
"Your Highness, Prince Xian, please wait." When someone called him, Zhan Wenxuan stopped and turned to look at the person.
Wan Cheng walked up to him with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully, and said, "The emperor ordered this servant to send a message to you to go to the imperial study."
Zhan Wenyu didn't know what Emperor Xiaoxian had to do with Zhan Wenxuan, but in front of Emperor Xiaoxian, he wanted to show that he didn't want to participate in state affairs. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Since my father is called Qi
If you have something to do, please hurry up and don’t keep father waiting."
"As for the mother-in-law, the eighth brother will explain it clearly to her. When the seventh brother's affairs are finished, he will go to the mother-in-law's palace and have lunch together before going back!"
After Zhan Wenyu finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted Zhan Wenxuan's shoulder, then strode away. Looking in that direction, it was indeed Concubine De's bedroom.
Wan Cheng looked at Zhan Wenyu's leaving figure, smiled, and pretended not to care and said: "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has reached the age to get married. Xu is pampered by the Emperor, Empress Dowager De and His Highness the Xian Wang. Now,
He’s almost like a child!”
It wouldn't be a big deal if these words fell into the ears of others. But the person who listened was Zhan Wenxuan, and I felt a little uncomfortable.
It wasn't until Wan Cheng heard a sigh next to him that he "remembered" that there was Zhan Wenxuan beside him!
He quickly bowed and apologized: "Your Highness, the Xian King, forgive me. This old slave envied His Highness the Eighth Prince's carefreeness, so I said the wrong thing at that moment. Please, Your Highness, the Xian King, please don't blame me——"
Wan Cheng was a person close to Emperor Xiaoxian, and every word he said may have a profound meaning. Even these words that are not pleasant to hear may have a lot of meaning...
The corners of Zhan Wenxuan's mouth curved up, revealing a forced smile, and said: "Eunuch Wan did not say anything wrong. This king has indeed lost his biological mother. This is already a fact, so why should we blame him?"
"Besides, although the eighth brother has a straightforward temperament, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. After all, my father is now in his prime, and if he wants to cultivate the eighth brother, he has plenty of time!"
"Yes, yes, yes, His Highness the Xian King said that!" Wan Cheng nodded repeatedly and did not answer the question. When the conversation changed, he made a "please" gesture again and said: "His Highness the Xian King, please follow me quickly.
Come to the imperial study room, the emperor asked you to go there alone, there must be something important to discuss!"
Zhan Wenxuan nodded and followed Wan Cheng to the imperial study room...
The table was filled with the newly delivered folders, but Emperor Xiaoxian didn't read any of them, only looking at a booklet in his hand. Yes, what was recorded in that booklet was part of Su Liangji's criminal evidence list.
.
Emperor Xiaoxian never knew that Su Liangji had done so many unknown things behind his back. But there were also many things he asked him to do.
The door of the imperial study room was pushed open, and Zhan Wenxuan walked in. In the quiet imperial study room, the father and son looked at each other, both wanting to find out something from each other's eyes.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father--" Zhan Wenxuan lowered his head first and saluted Emperor Xiaoxian.
Emperor Xiaoxian waved his hand and said in a kind tone: "Xuan'er is diligent in going to court every day, but why not be more diligent and come to see my father?"
Zhan Wenxuan looked calm and replied calmly: "My father is in good health, and there are many political affairs to deal with every day. I dare not come here to disturb my father's purity."
"You -" Emperor Xiaoxian knew why Zhan Wenxuan had this attitude now. After all, what Wan Cheng said in the hall just now was what he asked him to test.
Emperor Xiaoxian also doted on Zhan Wenxuan on weekdays, but on the surface he doted on Zhan Wenyu more. Everyone thought that Zhan Wenyu was his favorite son, and sooner or later, this Zhaoyue kingdom would fall to him.
On hand.
As everyone knows, Emperor Xiaoxian's favorite son has always been Zhan Wenxuan. Regardless of whether his narcolepsy can be cured or not, Emperor Xiaoxian will give this position to him a hundred years later.
The reason why there is no decree to establish a crown prince yet is because Emperor Xiaoxian does not want Zhan Wenxuan to be at the forefront of the storm. Doing this can be regarded as a kind of protection for him!
What's more, if Zhan Wenxuan wants to take this position, then the people around him must be carefully selected.
Although Su Yun is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, her status is quite acceptable in the capital, but her mother was born as a thin horse in Yangzhou. Just because of this, Su Yun has no chance of succeeding in the post!
