Chapter 174 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (39)
Because Chu Yuxuan was the runner-up, his position was relatively high.
In addition, he often went in and out of the palace when he was a child, and was considered a loyal playmate of the Fifth Princess Li Handan, so the people serving Emperor Zhaohui were relatively familiar with him.
Someone like Wang Fuhai who knew Emperor Zhaohui understood even better that although Emperor Zhaohui said he disliked this young man, he was still very optimistic about him.
Chu Yuxuan has basically been chosen by the emperor as the fifth son-in-law.
If one has a distinguished family background, noble character, and outstanding appearance, and passes the imperial examination, it means that he is also very knowledgeable.
However, what satisfied Emperor Zhaohui the most was Chu Yuxuan's identity as the second legitimate son.
The best thing is that he is the legitimate child and does not have to inherit the family business.
So if Chu Yuxuan had not gone out to study in his previous life, he would have been the candidate for Li Handan's son-in-law, and Chu Yuhe would have nothing to do with it at all.
After three rounds of drinks, many people were already tipsy, but the emperor's banquet had not yet ended, so who dared to leave early?
Wang Fuhai had already arranged for the third princess to meet the top scholar Xu Wenyang in secret, and had conveyed her wishes to Emperor Zhaohui.
Emperor Zhaohui also knew that if the banquet continued, these scholars would probably make a fool of themselves. After all, even though they kept drinking, not a single one of them left the table, which showed that they must be feeling uncomfortable in their stomachs.
He was not so unkind, so he asked Wang Fuhai to give the order that the Qionglin Banquet could end.
Emperor Zhaohui also stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Chu Yuxuan, who had been drinking and chatting with the people around him, also stood up.
He walked straight to the open space in the middle of the field and knelt down in front of Emperor Zhaohui.
Wang Fuhai was shocked by the Second Master Chu's behavior. Without waiting for the emperor to ask, he hurried over to help Chu Yuxuan up: "Second Master Chu, how much did you drink? Why did you kneel down? I will help you up right now."
Chu Yuxuan brushed away Wang Fuhai's hand, his expression serious, his words clear, without the slightest sign of being drunk, he said: "Eunuch, I have something I would like to ask His Majesty for approval today, please be accommodating."
As he spoke, Chu Yuxuan had already taken off the pink ring from his waist.
Wang Fuhai was confused at first as to what the Second Young Master Chu was going to do today, but when he saw the pink ring, his heart skipped a beat.
Emperor Zhaohui turned to look at the man kneeling in the middle of the field. Just as he was about to ask him to stand up, he saw the ring and pendant in Chu Yuxuan's hand. Anger suddenly surged in his heart: "How dare you, you little brat?"
Chu Yuxuan kowtowed to Emperor Zhaohui respectfully and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My boy, when I was still a child, your majesty gave me this ring and pendant. I have taken good care of it and have not dared to slack off in the slightest.
I was afraid that it would be damaged, so I made a treasure box to store it; I took great pains to preserve it. Your Majesty, please take a look and see if the quality of this ring is better than before.
I would like to ask Your Majesty to fulfill my humble intentions. "
"Most people in the world are easily bored with the old and love the new. How do I know whether you will regret it in the future? After all, no matter how precious this ring is, there will come a day when people will get tired of it." After hearing his words, Emperor Zhaohui's anger subsided a lot.
Chu Yuxuan kowtowed to Emperor Zhaohui again and said sincerely: "There are countless treasures in this world, but since I have this ring and pendant, no matter how good the others are, they have nothing to do with me. I think Your Majesty can understand this feeling, and Your Majesty is also such a person."
Emperor Zhaohui was slightly startled, and thought of his white moonlight Cui Lanzhi. He coughed lightly and said, "Since the rings and pendants are precious, there must be many people who covet them. You can't keep them without great ability.
How about this! I will give you three years. If you can make achievements in your position, I will consider your request. "
Emperor Zhaohui then issued an edict to appoint Chu Yuxuan as the acting chief officer of Yongjing City to see if he could govern the city well? He also wanted to see if he had the ability to handle the fief of the fifth princess, Li Handan.
The conversation between the two people just now was very obscure, so many people did not understand the meaning. Now that this paper of acceptance of fate has come out, people who understand will understand the reason behind it.
