Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 964: The Useless Prince vs. the First Female Official (End)

However, when he saw Lingyao, his face turned even redder and he directly covered his face with the quilt.

Xiao Fuzi was completely baffled. What happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This wasn't the first time these two had done this. They had heard it before, outside the palace, in the bamboo forest, and in the carriage!

What does this mean now? Xiao Fuzi thought to himself.

Xuan Yanjing naturally would not tell anyone about their private affairs, but he did blush more easily when looking at Lingyao today, especially when looking at Lingyao's hands.

Her hands were very beautiful, smooth, cold and white, each one as white as jade, but Xuan Yanjing just couldn't bear to look at them.

After Xuan Yanjing got married, the emperor obviously intended to cultivate him well and asked him to come to his side several times to handle state affairs.

As for Xuan Qingxu and Wenpin, Xuan Yanjing handed over the evidence of correspondence between Wenpin and the other party that he had collected from the Yue Clan to the emperor a few days after returning to the palace.

Colluding with foreign races is a taboo for the emperor.

Concubine Wen was immediately thrown into jail, and Xuan Qingxu was also implicated. All the titles of prince that were originally intended for him were rejected, and he was also placed under house arrest to prevent him from colluding with foreign tribes.

On the day of Xuan Yanjing's wedding, neither of them was able to show up at the scene. One was in prison and the other was under house arrest in the palace.

Xuan Yanjing took over the throne from the emperor at the age of twenty-six.

The emperor died of illness at the age of fifty-nine.

During this time, Xuan Qingxu tried to make some small movements, but was quickly and decisively suppressed by Xuan Yanjing.

The white banners of the Qing Palace were still fluttering in the wind, and Xuan Yanjing had been guarding the coffin for seven days.

He knelt on the mat, his white mourning clothes were stained with dust, and the dark circles under his eyes could not be concealed.

The candlelight in the hall was dim, illuminating his tense profile, his jawline as tight as a fully drawn bow - his father's coffin was right in front of him. Yesterday, he had kindly instructed him to "stabilize the court", but today, only a cold coffin was left.

An eunuch stepped forward, trying to persuade him to rest in a side hall, but was forced back by Xuan Yanjing's gaze. His knuckles were clenched white, and his voice was hoarse as frosted sand: "Everyone, get out."

The moment the palace door closed, his tense back suddenly shook, but he still straightened it, only a very light muffled sound came out of his throat, as if something was blocking it.

"Cry if you feel sad."

A warm hand gently covered the back of Xuan Yanjing's hand. Lingyao was also wearing plain clothes, with a white jade hairpin pinned to her temples, and her face was as white as snow.

She didn't say anything to comfort him, but just squatted down and looked him in the eye, her cold eyes reflecting the red corners of his eyes.

"Get up and eat first."

Xuan Yanjing took her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm with his fingertips: "I'm fine."

Even though he has now sat on the throne, he never calls himself "I" to Lingyao.

"Actually, I don't like my father. When I was little, I really wanted his attention and gaze, but I did a lot of stupid things because of it. Later, when I grew up, I stopped thinking about it. I started to blame him. I blamed him for being so fickle, for changing his heart towards the Queen Mother, and for being so wary of the Helian family, even though the Queen Mother was the one who trusted him the most."

"Even if his attitude towards me changed later, I know it's because I've become a better person now and have met his requirements for the crown prince..."

"But now that he's gone, I suddenly remember all the little kindnesses he showed me. Tell me, am I being weird?"

Xuan Yanjing was like a lost child, no longer as calm as before, his shoulders trembling slightly.

"It's strange, but people are strange."

Lingyao raised her hand and touched his face. She said nothing more, but silently handed him a clean handkerchief and then sat quietly beside him.

Lingyao's voice was not loud, but it was like a stone falling into Xuan Yanjing's troubled heart, spreading out circles of peaceful ripples.

Xuan Yanjing looked at her, grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

The new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. After ascending the throne, the first thing the court officials discussed was to find a concubine for the emperor to enrich his harem.

After all, when Xuan Yanjing was the crown prince, he only had one crown princess. Now that he has ascended the throne, for the sake of the royal bloodline, he should also select concubines.

Many ministers had to send their own girls of marriageable age into the harem.

This matter of selecting concubines should have been handed over to the empress dowager, the emperor's mother in the harem, but now there is no empress dowager, so this task fell on Lingyao, the current master of the harem.

Unexpectedly, the emperor became furious on the first day this topic was raised and immediately scolded the official who made the suggestion.

He also announced in court that he would not take any more concubines, and if anyone disturbed the queen because of this matter, he would forget about his cinnabar hat.

When this news came out, all the officials were in a state of panic, especially those who had long planned to have their daughters promoted to high positions after entering the palace.

Some people even went to Helian Chang for help on this matter. After all, he was the emperor's uncle, and they hoped that he could go and persuade them.

Helian Chang, who had witnessed Lingyao's fighting prowess on the battlefield, waved his hand and declined. Not to mention that Xuan Yanjing would be angry if he knew about this, the current queen would probably be punished if she knew about it.

The officials were completely at their wits' end.

However, this matter received a very good response from the people. After all, Lingyao had given them a lot of food, and everyone respected and loved the queen very much. As for whether the emperor would take concubines or not, what did it have to do with them, the common people?

After all, even if he took in 108 beauties, it would be the emperor who enjoyed it, and it had nothing to do with them.
