Yan Qi felt angry and reluctantly nodded. He tried his best to maintain his demeanor, as if he didn't care about the matter, and nodded to Yang Shangshu: "Thank you, Uncle Shi!"
The two chatted for a few words and soon separated and went their separate ways.
Yang Shangshu felt heavy in his heart, and Yan Qi felt even worse. He had to consult his father and the imperial concubine.
Zhao Xiang, it must be Zhao Xiang!
Yan Qi's father, Concubine Yan's eldest brother, was not in good health and had no knowledge at all, so he did not serve in the court. Instead, he was given the title of Marquis of Cheng'en and stayed at home.
Although he is just a prince, there is a natural difference between an idle prince and a powerful prince!
For example, Marquis Chengen, although he was not in office, he knew everything about the affairs of the court, and no one dared to underestimate him.
Today he and some old friends were traveling around the hunting ground, and they were in great spirits. Yan Qi couldn't wait and found out where he had gone from the housekeeper's mouth, so he immediately went there on horseback.
When Marquis Chengen saw his eldest son coming in a hurry, he had a bad feeling.
If it wasn't an emergency, his son wouldn't be like this!
When other people saw the eldest son of the Yan family coming, they expected that something must have happened. Naturally, they were not ignorant and wanted to hear about it, and they all found excuses to go and have fun on their own.
Marquis Chengen didn't care about them anymore. He said a few casual words and looked at his son: "What happened?"
"Dad!" Yan Qi was angry and embarrassed. He pursed his lips and said, "The emperor dismissed me from my position. Now I am no longer the young minister of Dali Temple!"
"What? How is this possible!"
Marquis Chengen blurted out, but felt something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on? What happened?"
"It's all that bitch Zhao Xiang!" Yan Qi gritted his teeth, "Nothing good has happened since he returned to Beijing! Nothing happened when he was away. When he came back, things happened one after another. This damn thing! He shouldn't have done it.
Come back, you should die in Lingnan!"
"Okay, let's not mention this for the moment. Tell me quickly, what happened? Think about it carefully and tell me everything. Remember, it's best not to miss a word. Things have happened, so there is no point in blaming others.
What's the use? We should think of ways to solve it. Besides, the second prince is still here and the noble concubine is still here, so what are you worried about? Can the emperor really not give face to our Yan family? "
"Yes, Dad."
Yan Qi gradually calmed down, and his father was right. As long as the emperor still doted on the second prince and the imperial concubine, he and his family were just sitting on the fishing boat, and there was nothing to worry about.
"My son just can't swallow this breath!"
Yan Qi couldn't help but cursed a few more times, and then told the story in detail.
In fact, now he was gradually calming down and his mind was functioning again. There were some details that Yan Qi himself thought of without the need for Marquis Chengen to remind him.
"Damn it! It was that damn Zhao who put the eye drops on him! He provoked it in front of the emperor!"
No wonder the emperor is so angry!
No wonder the emperor was no longer angry and his tone softened a lot, but then he suddenly became angry again. This had never happened before, so they had no idea what was going on and were all confused!
Then, continuing to plead for mercy is tantamount to going against the emperor.
Mistake after mistake.
"Zhao Xiang, he and I are at odds with each other!"
Yan Qi looked ferocious and gritted his teeth. How could he not hate him? He had always been the only one to bully and scheme against others. When did anyone dare to do the same to him?
Not only did it target him, but it also succeeded in front of the emperor, causing him to be deposed.
Even if the general is reinstated, the current humiliation cannot be erased!
Marquis Chengen sneered and said: "We, him, and the man from the East Palace are not at odds with each other. Why is it strange that he would deliberately plot against us? But you, on the other hand, have been at ease for so long that you have forgotten what you are doing, otherwise you would not have been so easy.
Qi'er, you should reflect on it."
Yan Qi bowed respectfully: "What Dad is teaching me is that I was careless this time. I promise, this is the last time, and Zhao Xiang will not get another chance!"
"Recognizing your mistakes can greatly improve things," Chengenhou nodded with satisfaction, still maintaining a leisurely attitude: "It's not a bad lesson, but it's not bad. Just keep a low profile for a few days, and we'll talk about it in a few days. If you do it now, you'll be in a hurry.
To plead for mercy, it seems like you are still forcing the emperor."
With their identity and status in the Yan family, even if Yan Qi is deposed, nothing will happen in these days that will shake their foundation.
Both father and son are actually very stable and calm in their hearts.
Marquis Chengen smiled and said: "The scenery here is quite good. Since you are here, you can accompany me for a walk! Enjoy this beautiful scenery and nourish your energy."
Yan Qi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Dad!"
Seeing the setting sun gradually sinking towards the west, the golden sun rays slanted across the sky and earth, dyeing everything with a layer of light gold, and the ordinary scenery became extraordinary.
Teams of warriors who entered the hunting ground to hunt also came out one after another with the prey they had hunted.
The emperor's mood improved again, and together with Concubine Yan, the courtiers, and the female relatives, they were waiting for the hunting team to return with a great harvest.
Today is for the Erlangs to practice their skills. In two days, the Emperor will personally participate in the show, and that will be the real excitement!
There are many prey in the hunting grounds, not to mention small animals such as hares and pheasants, but also especially wild sheep and deer, as well as some other large beasts of prey.
In short, as long as you have some real skills, you will never come back empty-handed after entering this hunting ground!
Seeing the teams coming back one after another, bowing to the emperor and displaying their prey, the scene was filled with cheers that were louder and louder than the others, deafening.
The two teams that everyone is most looking forward to are naturally the second prince and Zhou Crown Prince Zhao Liya.
Everyone knows about the bet.
"Second Prince! It's His Highness the Second Prince!"
"Ah, Your Highness, they are coming out!"
"Look! Your Highness, what did they hunt? I, I really want to see a bear!"
"It's really a bear! There are also many wolves! Your Highness and the others are so powerful!"
"As expected of Your Highness, you are truly amazing!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
I don't know who took the lead, but soon many sergeants and guards started making noises, making the whole atmosphere noisy.
The courtiers and family members who supported the second prince were all happy and beaming.
The emperor also laughed with great joy: "Okay, okay! The second one is not bad, it doesn't embarrass me hahahaha!"
Concubine Yan smiled and said: "As the folk saying goes, a tiger's father has no dogs, Mo'er was taught by the emperor himself, so this skill is naturally amazing! In the end, it's the emperor who is the master!"
All the ministers praised and praised "The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is mighty!", praising the Emperor until he laughed from ear to ear.
