2016: His Beloved (1)

His Beloved (1)

0The second prince and third prince also quickly stepped forward and prostrated while saying in unison, "This son is also willing to assist."

The Ultramarine Province Emperor gazed at his three sons in gratification. He said with a delighted nod, "Since you are all willing, the moving arrangements will be delegated to you."

"Understood."

"Yes." His three sons received this order.

Without minding what they were all thinking on the inside, they did look rather normal on the surface. All of their faces showed their joy of "being happy for their younger brother" and "feeling proud of their younger brother."

However, it was unknown whether or not they were bleeding deep inside their hearts.

After all, that territory of Huachen south of the Ultramarine Province was a truly fertile land!

With this vassal territory, Little Fourth Duan had suddenly shot up to become one of the wealthiest people in the Ultramarine Province.

Just counting the taxes from the territory in the future was enough to make their hands spasm…

"Your Highness." An imperial censor walked forward and braced himself to point out, "Your Majesty has already conferred His Fourth Highness as the Chen Prince. According to ancestral rules, even if he does not immediately move to his vassal territory, he should move out of the palace into his own estate. If His Highness the Chen Prince is to also remain inside the Taiji Palace, would it not be improper?"

The Ultramarine Province Emperor waved his hand and declared, "Little Fourth has not been back for long, so let him stay inside the palace for a while."

After advising to this point, there was naturally no one else who was going to challenge the Ultramarine Province Emperor anymore.

The emperor was in high spirits right now. His son actually had such prospects to be inheriting the demon emperor's bloodline after coming back. This wasn't a joke at all!

All the officials were silently musing: His Highness the Chen Prince is going to have a meteoric rise!

It had to be known that the second prince and third prince were already over 30, but not one of them had been conferred with a title!

Little Fourth Duan's young age was really nothing to sneeze at in the Upper Three Provinces where people possessed lengthy lifespans.

The emperor was so happy today that the officials felt that even if they were to report several pieces of rather bad news, the emperor wouldn't overly excoriate them due to his good mood.

Therefore, this morning court sessions ended harmoniously.

When morning court got dismissed, the second prince and the third prince caught up to the crown prince Rong Li after exiting the deliberation hall. They inquired with a smile, "Eldest Brother, since Imperial Father has given the order, we had better handle the moving arrangements as early as possible."

Rong Li swept them a faint glance and replied with a nod, "Let's go."

The three of them called for carriages to take them to Nanqiao Palace.

The servants inside the hall had already received news that the emperor had personally ordered to move their master's lodgings, so they had long packed up their master's belongings and had been waiting.

Rong Li surveyed the area and questioned with a nod, "Which place have you yet not tidied? You can all move everything over this afternoon."

The junior eunuch replied with an awkward expression, "We servants dare not recklessly enter Master's study."

Rong Li responded with an "mhm." He slowly walked toward the study and ordered lightly, "Since it is not convenient to tidy, then bring along everything in the study, including the table and chairs! This will avoid leaving anything important behind."

Everybody rejoiced at the crown prince's pointer, and they immediately went to move the items inside the study.

When they went to move that large wooden desk, they found that even four to five people were unable to hoist it, so they went to find more helpers.

When they got to the door, the large desk scraped against the door, and the movers quickly steadied it.

A hidden drawer suddenly fell out from the bottom of the desk with a thud, and a scroll rolled out from within…
