Chapter 804: Angry, Frustrated, and Lost
Emperor Hongde, Empress Luan Xiying, and Xiao Jingyi, whom Xiao Jingyu was talking about, were already standing in the Golden Palace.
Next to Xiao Jingyi stood Xiao Jingyu, whom he hated to the point of gritting his teeth.
Xiao Jingyu stood there with an indifferent expression, his elegance still outstanding and extraordinary.
This made Xiao Jingyi feel even more upset.
Why?
Why does he have such a beautiful appearance that he can please the stunningly beautiful Leng Rongyue?
Why is he the most beloved son of the current emperor? For him, the emperor ignored the wishes of a small number of court officials and put an end to their thoughts of sending their daughters to Prince Yu's mansion?
In order to fulfill his wish, he issued two imperial decrees to grant marriage to the same person!
Why can he visit the Duke of Anguo's Mansion every day and see Leng Rongyue every day?
As for myself, I also took a fancy to Leng Rongyue and sent more than fifty people to Yunxiang Mountain to kidnap her in the middle of the night, but what was the result?
Like a drop of water!
More than fifty people disappeared without a trace!
In order to get Leng Rongyue, he worked hard and deployed troops, but in the end he suffered heavy losses!
Not only was the peerless beauty not captured;
His foolish father-in-law...was thrown into prison for angering the emperor;
As a result, his own wings were damaged, although not the most important wings.
His father was the crown prince but died early, while his father, Xiao Jingyu, became the almighty Emperor Jingyue!
Why do I work so hard, but bad luck keeps happening to me?
Xiao Jingyu seemed to have nothing to do. He was calm and relaxed every day, and good things seemed to stick to him!
Heaven is unfair!
Injustice!
No matter how much injustice and resentment Xiao Jingyi felt in his heart, Xiao Jingyu just stood there comfortably, feeling the strong resentment emanating from the people around him, and laughing secretly in his heart.
Today's morning court was both normal and abnormal, which was really interesting.
Say normal——
All the civil and military officials in the court submitted memorials when they should, and submitted memorials when they should;
They also expressed their own views on court affairs.
As for Emperor Hong De, he made the decision on the spot;
The memorial needs careful consideration and will be kept here.
In the Golden Throne Hall, the atmosphere was sometimes warm and sometimes peaceful.
It’s not normal——
In fact, it can't be said to be that abnormal. That is, during the entire morning court meeting, no official mentioned the Second Assistant Zhang Jinyan!
It was as if Zhang Jinyan had never existed in this golden palace!
No one mentioned Zhang Jinyan, and no one took the initiative. Xiao Jingyi had no way to plead for Zhang Jinyan as a son-in-law, and Zhang Jinyan had to continue to stay in the prison.
If his father-in-law was locked up in the prison for one more day, not to mention the impact on his future career, for him, Xiao Jingyi, it would be one more day of humiliation!
However, no matter how anxious I was, I couldn't be the first to plead...
Zhang Jinyan publicly offended the emperor in the Golden Palace. The emperor was furious and threw him into the Heavenly Prison immediately.
If I were to speak first to plead for Zhang Jinyan who was thrown into the Sky Prison, and for those who offended the emperor, wouldn't that mean I was standing against the emperor?
Today, my foundation is unstable and my strength is insufficient. I am simply not strong enough to stand against my uncle, the emperor!
I don’t even have time to please him now, and I absolutely cannot do anything like begging for mercy for Zhang Jinyan!
I can't do it myself, but someone can...
It's just... I have to go to court, so I left home too early. I don't know if Zhang Miaoying's permission to go into the palace to pay her respects to the Queen has been granted...
Xiao Jingyi stood there thinking about his own things.
He didn't say anything during the morning court session, and no one asked him any questions. He just muddled through the session.
It was not until the end of the court that Xiao Jingyi heard Emperor Hongde on the throne cheerfully call over the three of Anguogong Fu Peng and his son...
"Duke Anguo, the two Fu Aiqings, the three Aiqings must know that today the old master of the Duke's Mansion will bring the two Fu Aiqings' wives and granddaughter Rongyue to the palace to meet the Queen.
The three of you, my dear ministers, please stay in the palace. First, come with me to the Imperial Study, and then have lunch in the palace before returning home with the three ladies and Rongyue!"
The emperor spoke, and the Duke of Anguo, his son and his two children all thanked him in unison. They followed Emperor Hongde and, accompanied by Xiao Jingyu, walked towards the back hall.
There were many civil and military officials in the hall. As they walked out of the hall, they secretly turned back to look at the backs of the emperor and his ministers...
So sour!
So sour!
This imperial grace...why doesn't it fall on our family?
At this moment, Xiao Jingyi felt not only sourness but also hatred!
He looked back...
That golden dragon throne, that stunningly beautiful woman... all of these should be mine!
But now... now I am just... Prince Yi, not much better than an idle prince!
Emperor Hongde persuaded him to go to the Ministry of Revenue to learn about government affairs.
But, the Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye is a member of Emperor Hongde's staff, and I am in the Ministry of Revenue... hehe... I am really learning...
Want to get involved? Too hard!
How long will it take for me to ascend the throne as I wish and take back everything that belongs to me?
When will my dream come true and I can win the heart of my beautiful girl?
