From the ripples of the water to being rolled by the waves, when everything calmed down and the night was heavy, the moonlight that had reached the zenith outside the window spilled into the palace, and what came to my ears was Li Chen's even breathing.
Zhao Rui's face glowed, she was very tired, but physical exhaustion could not stop the fierce mental struggle at all.
She turned around slightly, feeling that her body was numb and exhausted, but when her eyes fell on the hidden grid in the room, Zhao Rui's heart trembled slightly.
Faced with a choice, she didn't know what to choose.
On the one hand, he was afraid of the moody prince.
On the other hand, she was even more afraid that she had actually done something irreversible and ended up with a more miserable end.
"Anyway, the chief assistant asked me to be on standby... Then I'll be on standby. There's no need to make a choice now... Maybe there are other ways..."
Thinking like this, Zhao Rui finally fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, this was the latest day that Li Chen got up after traveling through time.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the warm fragrance of nephrite jade lying in front of him made Li Chen wake up completely.
He did something sneaky and woke up Zhao Rui within two seconds.
"His Royal Highness, you..."
Before Zhao Rui could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Li Chen.
"The day's plan starts in the morning, don't waste time." Li Chen said excitedly.
Zhao Rui's face turned red.
Just at this time, the announcement from the Sanbao eunuch came from outside the palace.
"His Royal Highness, Zhao Xuanji, the chief assistant of the dynasty, Wang Tenghuan, a scholar of Jianji Palace, Sun Boli, minister of Dali Temple, Teng Huaiyi, minister of the Ministry of Punishment... and others are asking to see the prince at the Xi Zheng Palace."
In the palace, Zhao Rui, who was unable to resist, said in a hurry after receiving the amnesty: "Your Highness, business matters are important, not to mention that the chief minister and the others are here. There must be something important, so your Highness should go quickly."
"I know what they are here to do, so I'll leave them alone first."
Li Chen gently bit Zhao Rui's earlobe and said: "When they come, I have to go there immediately? Am I the master or are they the master? I don't know what to say."
After speaking, Li Chen let go of Zhao Rui's earlobe and said impatiently to the Sanbao eunuch outside the door: "Let them wait. If they can't wait, just wait. If they can't wait, get out."
"This slave obeys your order."
Eunuch Sanbao was not surprised at all and left respectfully and carefully.
In the dormitory, Zhao Rui was extremely flustered and said: "Your Highness, those are all important ministers in the court. If you act like this, they are afraid that they will say that Your Highness is debauched and unworthy of being the crown prince of a country."
"How can it be that they have the final say on whether I am worthy of being the crown prince or not? If we follow their wishes, no matter how good I am, they will not be satisfied. On the contrary, the more ignorant and dishonest I am, the worse they will be."
I'm satisfied. Please don't worry about the matters of the previous court. Even if the sky falls, it won't fall on you. You'd better serve me well first."
Li Chen said, pulling the quilt and covering the two of them in it.
In the Xi Zheng Hall of the East Palace, Zhao Xuanji frowned slightly when he saw the Sanbao eunuch who had promised to inform the crown prince come back alone.
But he said nothing.
There are many people who would say this for him.
Sun Boli, the minister of Dali Temple next to him, immediately understood what the chief minister was thinking when he saw this, and said rudely to Sanbao: "Where is the prince? You went to inform the prince, why are you the only one coming back?"
Sanbao glanced at Sun Boli and said in a nonchalant manner: "The prince is busy, and he also said, if you can wait, just wait, if you can't wait, get out."
