Chapter 1237: Always Been Happy…
“Of course not,” Xue Sifu said with a smile.
Seeing that Xue Sifu really did not have the slightest bit of restraint, Prince Ying could not tell that he was from a peasant family at all. He nodded in admiration. He had always been fond of people who wanted to rely on their own efforts to build a career and build themselves up, allowing themselves to adapt to any environment and be smooth in all aspects.
The person in front of him was still young, so he had high hopes for him.
Xue Sifu could see that Prince Ying seemed to be quite satisfied with him. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
Right now, Prince Ying was acting this way because he did not know of his relationship with Princess Jin. If he were to find out one day that he might be his future son-in-law, he might not be that impressed with him.
After all, in Prince Ying’s eyes, he had yet to find anyone worthy of his precious daughter!
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu only left after staying in the Glory Palace for quite a while. After a while, Princess Jin found an excuse and left the Glory Palace.
The four of them met in the imperial garden.
Xue Sifu wanted Princess Jin to show them around the bustling capital city. After all, Princess Jin had been to the capital city many times. She was happy to do so.
However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not want to be third wheels, so they did not follow.
Therefore, only Xue Sifu and Princess Jin left the palace to roam around the city.
Xue Yan had originally planned to bring Jiang Yue to his grandfather’s house to take a look. Now that he had come to the Imperial Capital, he had to meet his grandfather. However, considering that Prince Ying had just returned to the residence today, he did not want to disturb the rest. It would not be too late to go tomorrow.
Then, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue returned to the Eastern Palace. Xue Yan continued to practice martial arts while Jiang Yue gave him pointers from time to time and helped him keep track of the time.
The next day, Xue Yan woke up before dawn. He was dressed in the Crown Prince’s court robes and wearing the Crown Prince’s golden crown, preparing to attend the morning court session.
It was his father’s request. He said that it was time to show the civil and military officials who did not know him what the Crown Prince of Da Ling looked like. Only then would everyone recognize him when he ascended the throne.
Above the main hall, Xue Yan the Crown Prince stood at the very front.
Although he was young, his extraordinary aura was unmatched.
“If there is something to report, report it to my son. I will be retiring.”
Before leaving the court, the Emperor once again asked the Ministry of Rites about the arrangements for the new Emperor’s coronation tomorrow. The Ministry of Rites reported that the arrangements were going well.
After the morning court session ended, Xue Yan and the Emperor ate breakfast together in the royal study before returning to the Eastern Palace.
Because he was going to his grandfather’s house today, Xue Sifu was counting the gifts for his grandfather’s house, and Jiang Yue was also helping to light them.
When Jiang Yue saw that he had returned, she looked at him.
Xue Sifu first asked him if he had eaten breakfast. When he heard that he had already eaten, he asked him when he would go to the High Duke’s Public House. He said that he would go after changing his clothes.
Then, he went to change into his ordinary clothes.
Then, they got on the carriage and left the palace to the High Duke’s Public House.
This was his first time coming to the Imperial Capital, so he felt a little nervous.
In the High Duke’s Public House, because he would ascend the throne tomorrow, Duke Shao had already rushed back from the South Army Camp. As the South General, Shao Shuting had to stay in the army to prevent anyone from causing trouble when the Emperor abdicated and the new Emperor ascended the throne.
Shao Boqi and Shao Zhongxi had attended the morning court session today, but they had not seen Xue Yan yet. At this moment, they were both in the study being lectured by their father, Duke Shao.
