The people in front of him were talking very enthusiastically, but the princess pulled Chu Nianhe’s sleeve and said to her softly: “Yan Lichen is indeed very good at doing these scenes. Look at my father’s happy look, I’m afraid that if I don’t reward him with tens of taels of gold today, I will also reward a prince for him.”
After hearing the princess’s words, Chu Nianhe’s heart skipped a beat. I thought to myself that if the emperor rewarded Prince Yan Lichen for this, it would be a bad thing.
Although all the eleven princes of the emperor are still promising, the only ones among the best are Yan Liqing and Yan Lichen. Not to mention the position of prince, the eldest prince of the dynasty has never been too touched. If Yan Lichen had become the prince first, I am afraid that Yan Liqing’s future position of prince would not be very unique.
The more Chu Nianhe thought about it, the more he became secretly shocked. No wonder Yan Lichen rushed Yan Liqing to hold this banquet before he came back from the battlefield. He was afraid that his mind was not pure, but only for the position of the prince.
As expected, Chu Nianhe was thinking, but heard another court minister on the list say, “Emperor, the Seventh Prince is now in a low position. Although he is in charge of the emperor’s worries and relief in the court, it is no different from other princes. In my humble opinion, rewarding the Seventh Prince is probably something outside his body. If he can reward a single official and half a title, he is worthy of the contribution made by the Seventh Prince in the court.”
This minister was so confident that he seemed to be prepared. Chu Nianhe looked at her with a familiar look, as if she had seen him visit at night when she was in the Seventh Prince’s Mansion, but she was afraid that this person was a secret stake that Yan Lichen had attracted, and he specifically spoke for Yan Lichen at this time.
“I am really ashamed of Chen’er for what this minister said.”
The queen lowered her head with a modest look on her face and said to the emperor: “If we talk about it, Chen’er has not made any contributions to the emperor, and every matter on the battlefield is worse than that of the fourth prince. She does not receive any rewards for such a dress. If she really rewards her, she will be disappointed.”
The queen said this, and saw that the fourth prince was not here, and she bullied Concubine Rou in her usual silent manner, intending to cause disagreement about Yan Liqing among the court officials.
As expected, after hearing the queen’s words, the emperor’s face immediately became a little moved.
“The Empress is such a bad word,”
The minister who had just spoken just now said, “Our Xuanxun Kingdom governs the world with civilization. Although the Fourth Prince has military achievements, I can forgive my ministers for saying that the decision-making of the government strategy is not as good as that of the Seventh Prince. And…”
He pondered for a moment, and then said to the emperor seriously: “The Seventh Prince was born by the Queen of the Palace, and this identity is naturally more valuable than others. It would be fine if the Seventh Prince was not talented or incompetent, but the Seventh Prince was a talented and capable person. If the Fourth Prince was promoted to the forefront, he was promoted to the title of the Fourth Prince.Prince, I am afraid that in the future, the seven princes will not be able to gain a foothold in our Xuanxun Kingdom. “
The minister’s meaning is very clear. If Yan Lichen cannot be named Prince, Yan Liqing will be even more unworthy.
No wonder the court officials are so in such a direction. Yan Liqing has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and rarely comes back. In addition, he does not like these weird plans. Except for those martial ministers, it is difficult for the court to speak for him. If he suffers such a loss, no matter how much contribution he has made over the years, he will inevitably be secretly despised by these verbal villains and criticize him for saying something ugly in the court.
After hearing this, the emperor showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and looked at Concubine Rou again, with a little guilt in his eyes. I’m afraid he had promised to be the only prince in the court when Yan Liqing came back. After all, Yan Liqing had such ability, and this matter could make Concubine Rou show her beauty. The emperor promised it just now.
