"Is there something urgent?" Xiao Yichen raised his hand to signal the chamberlain in front of him to get up, and then asked.

"Not really. The chamberlain shook his head with a smile and said, "When the old slave came out, I saw that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were talking and laughing, and it didn't look like something big had happened. ”

"Well, that's to enhance the relationship between father and son. Xiao Yichen joked and said with a chuckle: "Since this is the case, I can only wait, so please trouble Neiguan Feng to serve a cup of tea to this king." ”

"The old slave can't be thanked by His Highness. Feng Neiguan bowed again, and then said with a smile on his face: "I have already prepared clouds and mist for His Highness, and the old slave will go and bring it to His Highness." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged waiter left, Yu Xiaoxiang, who was standing behind Xiao Yichen, was idle and bored, and his big black eyes began to look around again, only to find that the court officials here were not like what they had seen in previous film and television dramas, everyone needed to stand and wait respectfully, but regardless of the size of the official position, there was a brocade mat in the hall, just kneeling in the direction of the dragon seat. This appearance is more like a court meeting in the pre-Han Dynasty, where the emperor and courtiers are sitting and arguing.

There were a lot of people before, and I didn't look too carefully, but when I arrived here, Yu Xiaoxiang found that from the fourth to the eighth highness, they were all among the courtiers, but the positions were not together. The Fourth Highness Xiao Feixing, Dingguo Gong Cheng Sutie, and Protector Gong Mu Ying were in the first row of military generals, while several other princes were in the lower positions. As for the civil officials, it is natural that Yuwen Xiucheng and Nangong Wen occupy the first place among the civil officials.

There were two or three thousand people stuffed into the entire hall, plus the surrounding golden gourd warriors, it should have been full, but now it doesn't seem to be very crowded, but there are still many empty places. And these courtiers also seem to have become accustomed to the late arrival of the Holy Monarch, each of them closed his eyes to recuperate, and no one exchanged his head and ears, but seemed much quieter than outside the palace.

After a while, when Feng Neiguan put the carved dragon teacup on the low table beside Xiao Yichen with a flattering smile on his face, he saw Xiao Cheng, the chief attendant of the inner officer, striding out from the side hall door at the back.

Xiao Cheng, who had a straight face, strode to the front of the dragon throne and shouted in a deep voice: "His Majesty the Holy Monarch is coming to the court, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet him." ”

As soon as this sound passed, the court officials who were sitting upright leaned over and lay on the ground one by one, Yu Xiaoxiang was also quietly pulled down by Xing'er, so she quickly withdrew her curiosity, and Ying Ying bowed down until her buttocks were pressed to the back heels, on the other hand, Xiao Yichen stood up, folded his hands, and bowed to his waist.

At this moment, even the surrounding golden gourd warriors in the main hall are all kneeling on one knee, only Xiao Yichen is standing alone, which looks a little abrupt, but it is enough to reflect his status is not ordinary.

In a burst of footsteps, the crown prince Xiao Muxing was the first to walk out, walked down the steps a few steps and stood on the side of the dragon chair that was one taller than Xiao Yichen, and also bowed down to greet him, and behind him was Xiao Lingtian, who was in a gorgeous purple-gold dragon robe, strode over.

"Ministers greet the Holy Monarch, Your Majesty has a long life. ”

"Excuse me, all Aiqing, please get up. ”

When Xiao Lingtian's calm voice came, the hundred officials thanked him at the same time, and then they each knelt down and straightened their bodies again.

Glancing at the hundreds of officials under the steps, Xiao Lingtian fell his gaze on Xiao Yichen's body, and said with a smile: "Seeing Qinglong'er sitting here today, I feel that there are no fewer people in this court. ”

"Father, don't gloat. You are clearly prepared to see how those guys who have impeached Erchen all day long in the past four months will make trouble today, right? Let's say okay first, don't punish you anymore, Erchen has calculated it, and it will be punished for more than a hundred years!" Xiao Yichen held the teacup angrily, rolled his eyes, and obviously did not accept his father's "kindness".

"Hahaha......" Xiao Lingtian's hearty laughter sounded, touched his beard and said: "After all, he is a prince, just this super title is a lot of expenses, you can save it, you still have to save some." ”

"Hahaha......" The brisk laughter of the courtiers also sounded instantly, as if they had long been accustomed to this relaxed atmosphere.

Xiao Cheng bowed down and stood beside Xiao Lingtian with a smile, and after receiving his eyes, he waved the dust in his hand and shouted: "Above the court meeting, there will be no trivial matter, governing the country and the country, and the merit lies in the community." The ministers of the palace, the weight of the humerus, have this initiation, and there is no quiet news. The Great Dynasty ~~Kai~~"

After the long procrastination fell, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt down again, Xiao Yichen also got up and bowed with both hands, and replied in unison: "The Holy Monarch has been trained, I will not forget it in this life, and I will do my best for my family and country." The dragon god blesses, the empire is ten thousand years~~"

After waiting for another bow, Yu Xiaoxiang stood up and straightened up like the other courtiers. Although she wanted to pout her lips for kneeling twice in succession, she once again felt the heavy sense of prestige brought by the highest power center of this ancient empire, which made the little girl who participated for the first time even stand more respectful.

"Okay, let's get up. With a chuckle, Xiao Lingtian glanced at Xiao Yichen first, his eyes were full of pampering and "schadenfreude", and he raised his voice and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Minister, Wu Hao, the left order of the Imperial Historical Observatory Supervision Department, has a book. As soon as the Holy Monarch's words fell, in the middle of the civil official position in the inner two rows, a middle-aged man got up, bowed and saluted loudly.

"This Wu Hao is very bad, he likes to find the stubble of our Highness when he has nothing to do. Xing'er whispered in Yu Xiaoxiang's ear in a very low voice, and said disdainfully: "From the fourth rank of the petty official, he always likes to pretend to be high. If it weren't for the fact that the official was not guilty of chasing the wind and shadows, he would have died tens of thousands of times. ”

As soon as Xing'er's words were finished, he saw Xiao Yichen lazily picking up the teacup, gently blowing the tea leaves, and said helplessly: "Father, the son dares to bet with the 100-year penalty that the old guy must be here to impeach the son." If not, what if the son gives you an extra 100 years?"

"Hahaha......" The laughter sounded again, especially those generals, looking at Wu Hao, who had already knelt in the middle, they couldn't laugh anymore, and even many civil officials were snickering, but they were forcibly enduring for the sake of grace.

Strange and doting glared at Xiao Yichen, who was still drinking tea, Xiao Lingtian waved his hand and said, "What did Wu Aiqing play?"

"The minister impeached Prince Ling Xiao ......"

"Look, look, what is Erchen talking about?" Before Wu Hao's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Xiao Yichen. His Royal Highness the Prince, who put down the teacup, stood up and turned to the middle-aged man with a smug look of "Lao Tzu is a half-immortal", and shouted: "I say, are you Yushitai full of food? There are more than 2,300 people in this hall, and you only have this king in your eyes? Have you forgotten that magnetic storm bomb 'went off' at the door of your Yushitai last year? Be careful when you go back today, there is an annihilation bomb that 'goes off' inside!"

"Hahaha......" Seeing Xiao Yichen's expression that he was about to eat the old guy, the laughter of the generals sounded again.
