Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 840

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 T, 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 horse, stood at the gate, waiting.

As the sun gradually rose, it was getting hotter and hotter. Most of the officials were civil officials, and they were used to enjoying themselves indoors. After standing for a while, they felt as if their feet were not their own, and sweat began to seep from their foreheads. But they didn't dare to say anything as they saw Luo Qingyan stood still.

Although the guard reported that the Emperor will arrive in about an hour, Xia Huanyu had kept everyone waiting for two hour, but there was still no sign of his arrival. A weak official suddenly fell to the ground, pretending to have sunstroke and fainted, hoping to escape. Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyan just glanced at him and said in a low voice, "It seems that he is old. He can't even stand for such a short time. How can he have energy dealing with those state affairs? He'd better to resign and retire directly."

Hearing this, the official who had just fainted immediately regretted. He quickly opened his eyes and stood up. "It's scorching hot today. I'm just a little dizzy. Nothing serious."

After a while, a golden carriage gradually appeared in their sight. The carriage was surrounded by the imperial guards and the palace guards, and there were also servants. Everyone quickly straightened up and watched the carriage getting closer and closer.

The carriage stopped at the city gate. Luo Qingyan immediately knelt down with the officials. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Xia Huanyu's voice came from inside the carriage, "Arise. Thank you, Your Highness Crown Prince and all the courtiers." His voice was still regal and indifferent as usual, but it seemed to be a little milder.

While everyone was still in a daze, Liu Wenan, who was in front of the carriage, said loudly, "His Majesty will return to the Palace..."

It was not until then that everyone came to their senses and made way for the Emperor. Then they rode the horse towards the Palace with Luo Qingyan.

After entering Jin City, the people knelt down on both sides of the Wen Wu Road with reverence and awe. Halfway through, Xia Huanyu's voice suddenly sounded, "stop."

Luo Qingyan hurried forward, and Xia Huanyu had already opened the curtain and looked over. "I heard that the Crown Princess had given birth to a little prince safely. Since we're back, we'll go to your mansion first. Your mother wants to see the child."

There was a rare smile on Xia Huanyu's face, which made Luo Qingyan stunned. After a while, he came to his senses. His mother? It should be Empress Hua. Luo Qingyan lowered her head and thought for a moment before replying, "yes."
