Chapter 840 The Emperor and The Empress Return

On the second day, Luo Qingyan got up early and went to the court. Although the officials had been announced the imperial edict yesterday, they hadn't got a chance to congratulate the Crown Prince as they were stopped outside Prince Rui's Mansion. They arrived very early this morning and unexpectedly no one asked for leave.

Luo Qingyan has officially become the Crown Prince. Although no one knew if he would succeed to the throne in the end, they wouldn't miss any chance to flatter him as long as he was in the position.

As soon as Luo Qingyan stepped into the Meeting Hall, he saw that almost all the officials were present, whispering. Luo Qingyan had excellent hearing and easily caught the words "Crown Prince", "ascend the throne".

The noise in hall quenched at once as they noticed Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan walked directly to the chair under the dragon throne and sat down. The officials hurriedly knelt in respect. "Long Live His Highness Crown Prince."

Luo Qingyan remained calm and waved his hand indifferently. "Arise."

The officials were observing Luo Qingyan's expression secretly. Seeing that Luo Qingyan was still so cold, they had to swallow their prepared congratulations and compliments.

"Do you have anything to report today?" Luo Qingyan's clear voice echoed in the hall.

No one answered. Luo Qingyan nodded and stood up. "All the courtiers, I've been informed that he Emperor is about to enter the city soon. Since you have nothing to report, come out of the Palace with me to greet His Majesty."

The officials looked at each other in confusion. Just now, Luo Qingyan didn't address himself in a formal way but still call "I", why?

The officials speculated in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show any inappropriate expression. They quickly responded, and stood there quietly. After Luo Qingyan walked down, they slowly followed Luo Qingyan out of the Meeting Hall.

Next to Luo Qingyan was the Minister of Defense and War and the Minister of Personnel. The two of them exchanged a look, and then the Minister of Personnel said first, "How wonderful it is to hear about Your Highness Crown Prince's baby! We have been waiting for the opportunity to congratulate Your Highness. It's true that good things come in pairs. Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Luo Qingyan paused for a moment, with a touch of coldness flashing in his eyes. After a while, he replied indifferently, "You are really well-informed, Lord Lin..."

Hearing this, Lord Lin widened his eyes and wondered why the new Crown Prince looked unhappy? Did he say something wrong?

Seeing Luo Qingyan's reaction, the rest of them had to hold back their congratulations. They just followed Luo Qingyan quietly.

When they arrived at the gate of the Palace, Luo Qingyan asked someone to lead horses there and rode along the Wen Wu Road with the officials to the gate of Jin City. When they arrived at the city gate, Xia Huanyu's carriage hadn't arrived yet. The guard who had gone to inquire reported hurriedly that the Emperor's carriage would arrive in about an hour. Luo Qingyan nodded, got off the ho

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

oth, but don't add any salt."

Of course, Xia Huanyu didn't know that there were so many dos and don'ts. He looked down at Empress Hua with a rare smile and said, "Isn't it too light without any salt? That's too tasteless."

Glancing at Xia Huanyu, Empress Hua didn't answer. But Xia Huanyu didn't seem to care about it at all. "It's really hard. So many restricts."

When they arrived at the South Yard, Yun Shang had already gone downstairs. Qin Yi and the wet nurse, who was holding Bao'er in her arms, were also standing there. Seeing Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua come in, they hurriedly curtsied, "Your Majesty."

Xia Huanyu waved his hand casually and said, "We are family. Why are you being so polite?"

Then he looked at the baby in the wet nurse's arms and said with a smile, "He must be your baby. Bring him to me."

Yun Shang immediately took the baby from the wet nurse and walked to Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu reached out his hand to take the baby. Seeing that he was not skillful in holding the baby, Yun Shang seemed to be a little surprised. After a while, she said, "He is really small, a small kid."

Seeing this, Empress Hua frowned. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she took the baby from him and said, "How could you hold a baby like that? The baby will be very uncomfortable."

Xia Huanyu didn't get angry at all after being scolded. He reached out his hand and teased the baby in the arms of Empress Hua with a smile.

Yun Shang was a little shocked, but she just lowered her head to hide the surprise in her eyes quickly.

"The baby looks more like his father." Empress Hua whispered. After a while, she asked, "Have you given him a name?"

Yun Shang immediately raised her head and answered, "Not yet. We've just given him a nickname, Bao'er."

"Bao'er, that's good." Empress Hua smiled, "A catchy name."

Xia Huanyu hurriedly replied, "I'll think about it when I go back and choose a good name for him."

Then Yun Shang bowed her head again to thank him. She thought that it was a good thing that Xia Huanyu was obedient to Empress Hua.
