Chapter 116 The Prince Has Evil Intentions 16
The two of them lingered in the house for a long time before they tidied their clothes and went out.
Qi Hongxuan supervised Mo Yang to finish his meal, and then took him into the palace slowly.
At this time in the palace, apart from the new talents supported by Qi Hongyu who were still clamoring to see the emperor in front of the hall,
The other veteran ministers had already been informed, so they kept a low profile and did nothing.
The main idea is to sit back and watch, and wait and see.
"Your Majesty."
When Qi Hongxuan took Mo Yang to the imperial study again, several ministers led by Ding Wei were already waiting there.
After hearing the news from Mr. Lu, Ding Wei was somewhat skeptical about whether Qi Hongxuan could take on such a big responsibility.
But they met with Qi Hongxuan in the morning, and in just a few words, Qi Hongxuan explained the current situation and response plan clearly.
Ding Wei had to change his original perception of this person.
When I see Qi Hongxuan again at this time, I should be respectful and polite and treat him as the next monarch of You Dynasty.
"Mr. Ding, there's no need to be so polite," Qi Hongxuan raised his hand to help the man up, and asked the ministers behind him to stand up.
"Qi Hongyu has committed serious crimes, but if he really dies inexplicably, it will be difficult to explain to the outside world."
Qi Hongxuan had lost all the kindness and gentleness he showed in front of Mo Yang.
His voice was much colder, with the aura of a superior, and he kept a distance from the minister in front of him.
"I have something to say to Qi Hongyu. Please step aside for a moment, sir. We will discuss how to deal with the Bai family later."
"By the way," Qi Hongxuan stopped the person who was about to leave, "Lord Chen is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Do you know what day the thirteenth of next month is?"
Lord Chen was confused by this sudden question. Although he didn't understand, he still answered honestly.
"Your Majesty, the thirteenth of next month is the Grain Full solar term."
Qi Hongxuan smiled, his voice softened, "The thirteenth of next month is my wedding day, Lord Chen, please take the trouble to prepare in advance."
Mo Yang stood next to Qi Hongxuan, his face flushed.
I really don’t know how Qi Hongxuan could suddenly say such words in such a serious environment!
"It's also the day when Qi Hongxuan ascends the throne. We have to do it together."
Mo Yang's palms were sweating from nervousness, but he still added this in a low voice.
He didn't want to delay Qi Hongxuan's ascension to the throne because of himself.
"Ayang is right." Qi Hongxuan squeezed Mo Yang's hand to show his agreement.
The other ministers couldn't help but cast vague glances, wanting to see who this person who directly addressed the prince by his name was.
Not only was the prince not angry, he even approved of his words!
Although Qi Hongxuan mentioned to Lu Yingjue that Mo Yang was still alive, the ministers in the palace did not know about it.
It is even unclear when Qi Hongxuan had such a close confidant.
However, Qi Hongxuan deliberately blocked Mo Yang's view, so the ministers did not dare to look at him openly and could only catch a glimpse of his general figure.
Lord Chen also glanced at the person who had just spoken in surprise, but had no impression of his figure.
But Qi Hongxuan is very close to him, and Lord Chen would not be so tactless as to offend him.
He wiped his forehead to remove the sweat, bent down to ask for instructions,
"I wonder which daughter the prince will marry? I can ask someone to take measurements and make a phoenix robe in advance."
In just one month, he has to ascend the throne and get married.
Lord Chen felt that after helping this emperor ascend the throne, it was time for him to resign and take a break.
"No need for the phoenix robe, it's me who's going to marry Mo Yang. If Master Chen wants to take measurements, just come to my house."
"..."
Lord Chen has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for several years, overseeing the organization of countless banquets of all sizes in the palace, and he has never found his boss's words so difficult to understand.
The future emperor will get married on the day he ascends the throne, but he will not marry the queen, but someone else???
The man she married was surnamed Mo, the descendant of the Mo family that was exterminated eleven years ago???
Let’s not talk about whether the Mo family has any descendants. Throughout history, has there ever been an emperor who married someone at his coronation ceremony?! Isn’t this nonsense?
Lord Chen was half bent over, his eyes almost squeezed into a line due to worry.
For a moment, he suddenly wondered whether he should resign now.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would lose his integrity in his later years and bury his whole life's innocence in the grand ceremony of the new emperor's coronation and marriage!
"Is Lord Chen in trouble?" Qi Hongxuan asked him sideways when he heard no response.
"Well, that," Lord Chen suddenly came back to his senses, "Your Majesty, actually this humble official——"
"Wedding is just a ceremony. Sir Chen, don't feel any burden."
Seeing that the man was about to run, Mo Yang took a half step forward and helped him up, "Sir, just make the arrangements. Hongxuan and I will cooperate."
!
Lord Chen looked up and saw Mo Yang, dressed in black and with eyes like obsidian.
Lord Chen didn't think anything of it when he just heard the voice, but now looking at the man, he felt that he had an extraordinary bearing. Standing next to the heavenly Qi Hongxuan, he was not inferior to him.
This is the person the future emperor will marry? A descendant of the Mohist school?
From this perspective, they are a perfect match...
Lord Chen quickly changed his mind.
Since they are both outstanding people and they love each other, he doesn't seem to have anything to worry about.
Just do it. After all, after this grand ceremony, he will resign and go home to rest. What happens after that is not his concern.
Lord Chen convinced himself in a few words and nodded in agreement.
After everyone else had left, Mo Yang turned around and saw Qi Hongxuan looking at him with a smile.
"What are you looking at? Don't you still want to see Qi Hongyu?"
"Hmm..." Qi Hongxuan nodded as if thinking, "What did Ah Yang say just now? Hong-Xuan and I will..."
Qi Hongxuan deliberately stretched out his name and said it in a affectionate manner, which made Mo Yang blush instantly.
Mo Xiaoyang didn't say a word at home, but when he went outside, he started calling Hongxuan.
tsk tsk~
I know everything about my feelings, but I just keep it to myself!
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
Mo Yang walked towards the inner room with a red face, letting Qi Hongxuan laugh behind him.
"Ayang, call me again so I can hear you."
"Do not."
"Hey, how come everyone else can hear it but I can't?"
"Are you still going to get down to business?"
"Yes, of course." Qi Hongxuan held the man's hand tightly, "But yours is also very important. I want to hear it."
Mo Yang was pestered by him and had no choice but to compromise by whispering, "I'll call you when I get back."
"That's fine. It's really not good for outsiders to hear such words."
Qi Hongxuan hooked Mo Yang's palm with his little finger with satisfaction.
Mo Yang glanced at him helplessly, held his rebellious hand tightly, and pulled him to see Qi Hongyu.
