The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 49

“The Emperor has arrived!” Attendant Xu’s duck-like voice sounded in the main hall, and everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

Although tonight’s palace banquet was set up for the crown prince, Leng Yufeng, and Huan Wuche, ever since the emperor came to the palace, he only watched the singing and dancing below without making a single word of praise. No matter how seductive the dancers were, the atmosphere in the palace became somewhat awkward.

Just when everyone felt that this atmosphere was almost unbearable, the emperor who sat on the throne finally spoke out mercifully, “General Leng and Young Noble Huan have done meritorious deeds. May I ask what rewards the two of you need?”

If it was an ordinary person who didn’t know how happy the emperor was when he personally gave them rewards, then on the other hand, Leng Yufeng and Huan Wuche didn’t have the slightest bit of joy. In their hearts, they knew that if it wasn’t for the crown prince, they wouldn’t have entered the palace.

“Your majesty, the only reason we were able to safely deliver food to Phoenix City was all thanks to the crown prince.” “The Crown Prince worked hard on the journey and risked his life for the safety of the food. If the Emperor wants to reward the crown prince with merits, the first one he should reward is the Crown Prince!” Leng Yufeng stood up and looked at the crown prince as he spoke. In the eyes of the crowd, General Leng was filled with admiration for the crown prince, but Huan Mecha knew that her good friend wasn’t a busybody. Her eyes were filled with hidden love.

In order to gain the Crown Prince’s goodwill, Mo Che didn’t want to fall behind and stood up. A warm smile hung on his face, but Leng Yufeng saw the provocation in his good friend’s peach blossom eyes. Yes, there were many times when others were bewitched by Mystic Moon’s gentle temperament, but they didn’t notice the craftiness in her peach blossom eyes.

“General Leng is right. Not only did the crown prince personally take risks, he also brought a livelihood for the citizens of Phoenix City, allowing the citizens of Phoenix City to learn how to hunt. He also bought some seeds from other towns so that the citizens of Phoenix City can sow them, and in two months, the citizens of Phoenix City can have their own harvests!” … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

Everyone knew that the crown prince had changed their lives in Phoenix City, and there were even some commoners in Phoenix City who had carved a plaque for the crown prince and hung it high above the city gates of Phoenix City. This matter could be said to have caused a sensation on the continent, but after hearing what Fantasy Gongzi had said, everyone couldn’t help but feel admiration or fear for the crown prince.

The two well-known figures in Shang Country praised the Crown Prince in such a manner, causing many women to look at him. When they thought about how the First Princess had said that the Crown Prince had yet to marry, many women began to ponder in their hearts. If they were to marry the Crown Prince and he was not the main wife, the Crown Prince would become the concubine of a concubine or something like that.

Shang Wuxin’s gaze shifted to the two men below who were trying their best to help her. At the same time, both of them were looking at her. Shang Wuxin’s heart skipped a beat, but she still turned her gaze towards the superior Emperor Shang.

At this moment, Emperor Shang was also looking down at the crown prince. Emperor Shang’s gaze was as obscure as it was before, but everyone knew that Emperor Shang’s eyes did not contain any satisfaction or love for the crown prince. But even so, a smile flashed in the depths of Shang Wuxin’s eyes, and this smile was deliberately let Emperor Shang discover. As expected, Emperor Shang’s gaze slightly froze, uncomfortably averting his gaze.

“Your majesty, the citizens of Phoenix City this time are all thanks to the crown prince. Your majesty should reward them with merit!” Surprisingly, the one who stood up was Minister Bai, who had always been neutral. In his official robes, Minister Bai was kneeling there, feeling a sense of righteousness.

A few officials stood out after a while, but without exception, these officials were usually neutral people. More importantly, these officials had once been important officials of the Emperor.

“What kind of reward does the crown prince want?” Emperor Shang asked the officials to get up, sitting there with a lot of pressure.

She looked at Emperor Shang, who was sitting on top of her. “Your son has already established his own residence, and is now fifteen years old, but your son has never had a soldier. It’s not bad to go to Phoenix City to see those three thousand soldiers, why don’t you ask your father to bestow those three thousand soldiers to your son’s household?”

As long as the princes had their own soldiers, each prince would have around three thousand soldiers. However, there were quite a few private soldiers as well. However, the Crown Prince had never been a favorite. Even though he had his own crown prince’s household early on, he didn’t have any manors. Now that he mentioned it, everyone thought of him.

Emperor Shang lifted his wine cup and took a sip of the wine in his hand, he did not answer the crown prince’s question.

The consorts and princes were instantly happy. The previous crown prince had made them feel that there was no danger but the current crown prince was a great threat, but looking at the attitude of the emperor, everyone was gloating in their hearts. No matter how powerful the crown prince was, he was not unworthy.

“The Crown Prince is indeed not a small person. Since the Crown Prince has done so well, then we shall give the three thousand soldiers to him!” Emperor Shang concluded this matter with a voice.

“That’s right, the crown prince isn’t young anymore. Chenqie remembers that the eldest prince was already married at this age!” Imperial Concubine Qin smiled and said, “It’s about time for the Crown Prince to be married off. Chenqie, look, the Crown Prince should be married off as well!”

He knew that she wanted to marry the bend to the crown prince so that she could control the crown prince. However, she should have known that he was thinking about the bend. Although he usually liked women, on the surface, he liked Shang Chen when he called for her.

“Chenqie also thinks big sister Qin Fei is right!” Xin Fei also agreed with him. The fingers of her hand were drooping, but even so, she still came to attend the banquet. At this moment, there was only one thing left in Xin Fei’s heart, and that was to drag the Crown Prince down. She wanted revenge.

At the beginning, she had been willing to listen and cooperate, but now that she said she had used up all her patience, and the dinner she needed for today had reached its end, Shang Wuxin had no interest in staying here.

Shang Wuxin picked up a peanut from the table and threw it at Leng Yuefeng, who was beside him. However, how could he have been hit with such caution? Just as Nougat was about to place his hand on Leng Yufeng’s arm, Leng Yuefeng suddenly shifted his body slightly. His entire Nougat was lightly knocked off his feet by Huan Moche, who was sitting beside him.

Both of them looked at the Crown Prince, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Yufeng, the impatience in her eyes too clear. More importantly, Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Yufeng’s injured back, and not only did Leng Yufeng understand, but also Huan Moche.

Huan Moche’s peach blossom eyes were brimming with laughter and doting. He never would have thought that such a cold and aloof crown prince would have such a naughty time.

Leng Yufeng looked at the expressionless look on the crown prince’s face. He didn’t know why he saw the pained and bored expression on the crown prince’s face. It made Leng Yufeng’s heart feel incredibly soft.

“General Leng, what’s wrong?” The crown prince’s panicked voice rang in the main hall.
