N-A-A Chapter 1670 She's Not Qualified
Chapter 1670 She's Not Qualified
Eunuch Qin was thinking of asking the officials in the Golden Palace to wait a while, since the Emperor couldn't possibly sleep until dawn.
However, Consort Yu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "His Majesty was too tired last night. Why don't you tell the ministers, Eunuch Qin, that we should postpone the morning court session until His Majesty wakes up? Letting His Majesty get some rest is the most important thing."
Before Consort Yu could add anything, Eunuch Qin immediately replied, "Yes, then this servant will go and explain to the officials."
As he spoke, he quickly retreated to the door with small, quick steps, then immediately turned and left.
"Wait a moment......"
Consort Yu wanted to say something more, but Eunuch Qin had already run out.
Consort Yu's face immediately darkened.
Why is this servant running so fast? She hadn't even finished speaking.
Sending the ministers back first wasn't the most important thing; she had something more important to say next.
I was thinking of going ahead and inviting Prince Jin into the palace!
What happened last night was no small matter, and she felt that Prince Jin should come to the palace first to explain things to the Emperor.
As long as a few words are given to the Emperor first, it won't delay Prince Jin's wedding procession.
Consort Yu thought she could share some of the burden with the Emperor, since he would definitely summon Prince Jin to the palace once he woke up. By speaking up first, she could save Prince Jin some time, allowing him to finish his business sooner and leave the palace for his wedding.
But Eunuch Qin didn't give her that chance at all; he had already run away. It's unclear whether he was genuinely in such a hurry or doing it on purpose.
At this moment, Consort Yu began to have some doubts about Eunuch Qin.
While the retired emperor continued chatting with the emperor in his dream, he was keeping an eye on the situation outside. At this moment, he saw the complex and profound meaning flash in Consort Yu's eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that Consort Yu was not as indifferent to worldly affairs as she had always appeared.
She's not that simple, is she?
Thinking of the Emperor's recent favoritism towards the Fifth Princess, the Emperor Emeritus frowned.
No, he needs to have a proper talk with A-Yue about this later.
They had already run out of things to talk about, but seeing Consort Yu's appearance, the Emperor Emeritus simply asked the Emperor, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this Consort Yu?"
The Emperor really wanted to wake up, but he couldn't control the dream. It seemed that the Emperor Emeritus was becoming more and more adept at controlling his dreams. No matter how clear-headed he was, he couldn't wake up unless the Emperor Emeritus allowed him to.
The emperor wanted to cry.
How did we end up talking about Consort Yu again?
The retired emperor didn't seem like the type to talk much about the women in his harem before.
Besides, he seemed to have a decent impression of Consort Yu before, especially when he was about to scold Consort Shu, he would occasionally bring up Consort Yu and say, "This Consort Shu is not as good as that Consort Yu back then!"
Why does it seem like you don't like Consort Yu anymore?
The Emperor held his head and shook it uncomfortably. "Father, can we talk about Consort Yu another time? I feel like I need to go to court now."
The retired emperor was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the emperor would still remember to attend court in his dream.
Unfortunately, his attendance at court was only for the sake of that damn horse incident the night before, not for any real political affairs, so the retired emperor didn't take him seriously at all.
He continued to drag the emperor into his dreams.
After thinking for a moment, Consort Yu summoned a palace attendant and instructed him to go to the Prince of Jin's residence and find the Prince of Jin, urging him to come to the palace immediately.
However, the eunuch had just left the emperor's palace when he encountered the crown prince.
The prince stood there with his hands in his sleeves, as if he were waiting for someone.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
The eunuch stepped forward and bowed. The crown prince glanced at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The eunuch told the truth, "Consort Yu instructed me to invite Prince Jin to the palace."
The Crown Prince's expression darkened slightly, and he retorted, "Since when did Consort Yu gain that qualification?"
Ah this?
The eunuch dared not answer this question lightly, as it was not something he could answer.
His Highness the Crown Prince then asked, "Did Consort Yu stay in Father Emperor's palace last night? Just because of this one night, does she think she has the right to summon the Imperial Uncle to the palace at will?"
The Fifth Princess hurried over and happened to hear the Crown Prince's words. She quickly walked over and bowed to the Crown Prince, saying, "Greetings, Crown Prince Brother."
The prince's expression softened slightly upon seeing her.
"Xiao Wu."
"Is the Crown Prince here to pay his respects to Father?" the Fifth Princess asked somewhat innocently.
"I am going out of the palace to attend my uncle's wedding banquet, so I came to inform my father first."
The Crown Prince glanced at the Fifth Princess and asked, "Fifth Sister too?"
"Father was frightened last night, so Mother stayed to take care of him. This was also Father's wish. I came to visit Father and Mother, and I don't know if they slept well last night."
The Fifth Princess spoke these words with concern and care for the Emperor.
However, the Crown Prince could detect a hint of smugness in her voice.
He felt that this was not his imagination.
He was just showing off the big event that happened last night. His father took his wife and daughter with him, but he, the crown prince, did not participate.
The person who was able to stay overnight in the Emperor's palace last night was Consort Yu. She is now a pampered young girl who came to witness her parents' love, while the Crown Prince seemed like an outsider.
So what if he is the Empress's legitimate son?
She couldn't compare to the Second Prince before, and now she can't compare to her either.
His Highness the Crown Prince must be a complete failure.
The Crown Prince looked into the Fifth Princess's bright eyes and smiled slightly.
"Then you should go and see Father and Consort Yu. I'm leaving the palace now. When Father wakes up, please tell him for me."
After saying that, he glanced at the eunuch again, "Go do what you're supposed to do. There's not that much free time in the palace."
"Yes."
The eunuch bowed and respectfully saw off the Crown Prince.
He understood what the Crown Prince meant; he certainly couldn't listen to Consort Yu and actually go out to invite Prince Jin to the palace.
The eunuchs still know who to listen to now, Consort Yu or the Crown Prince.
The Fifth Princess turned her head and looked at the Crown Prince's departing figure, her eyes slightly darkening.
"Fifth Princess, shall I inform His Majesty? He hasn't gotten up yet..." the eunuch asked cautiously.
"I'll go in myself." The Fifth Princess's tone turned cold as she walked past him and headed straight for the Emperor's bedroom.
The eunuch wiped the sweat from his brow. Why did he also feel that this young fifth princess was not so simple?
Was the Fifth Princess targeting His Highness the Crown Prince just now? How dare a princess like her?
When the court officials heard Eunuch Qin say that the morning court session was adjourned and that they should leave the palace first, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the Emperor is indeed entangled. He's certain this is the Prince of Jin's idea, but he doesn't know exactly what it is.
Lord Chen ran faster than a rabbit.
Just kidding, he needs to go back and change his clothes before going to the wedding banquet!
Prime Minister Shen's face darkened completely, and he stopped Lin Rong.
