Chapter 269

The side door next to the south gate of the palace opened.

This is the gate through which ministers of civil and military affairs enter the palace.

Some people go with them, and some go alone.

The place where the Great Court Meeting is held is in the Hanyuan Hall of the Daning Palace.

At this moment, the lanterns of Daning Palace had already been lit, and the huge square outside the palace was also brightly lit.

The door of Hanyuan Hall hadn't been opened yet, so the ministers who filed in gathered in twos and threes on the square outside the palace.

There were high-ranking officials surrounded Ji Tai, and they seemed to want to say something to Ji Tai, but seeing Ji Tai's serious face, they didn't say anything after all.

So the atmosphere was a little depressing.

But their eyes were not idle.

From time to time, they glanced at the side door, and suddenly no one came in from that side door, and all the officials who were supposed to come to this grand meeting should have arrived.

For the hour is near.

But one person is missing!

As the protagonist of today's court meeting, Li Chen'an has not been seen yet!

What about others?
The anxiety in Li Wenhou's eyes in the other place became deeper and deeper as the time approached——

What the hell is this kid doing?

This is a grand meeting specially held for him!

How could he be so slack?
Many people were eager to see through, and many people showed a meaningful smile.

The time has come!

The vermilion gate of Hanyuan Hall opened!
Chang Zuoqing, the great eunuch before the imperial court, stood at the gate with his whisk in his hand, and shouted loudly in his drake voice:
"It's time... all officials are invited to enter...!"

Ji Tai also glanced at the side door at this time, he frowned slightly, turned around, and led a group of ministers towards Hanyuan Hall.

Chang Zuoqing was still standing by the gate.

He was here by the emperor's order to wait for Li Chen'an.

There are more and more people in the Hanyuan Hall, but naturally there are fewer and fewer people in the square outside.

When the last official stepped through the door, Chang Zuoqing's eyelids twitched.

broken!

This man doesn't know the rules!

How could I be so careless?
I haven't explained it clearly to him, at this, at this time, he is probably still sleeping on the bed!
Yunji Bieye is far away from the imperial palace, even if it is a carriage, it will take at least an hour.

It was too late to go by myself.

And even if I want to go now, I can't go.

Because the emperor has arrived!
He walked in anxiously.

Helped the emperor to board the dragon platform.

He bowed and stood behind the emperor, feeling more and more anxious.

The emperor seems to be in a good mood today.

He flicked up his large dragon robe, and instead of sitting on the dragon chair, he took two steps on it with a smile on his face.

His eyes swept, swept, and swept over the faces of the officials...to the corners...

The smile on his face suddenly seemed to be frozen.

He frowned and turned his head, Chang Zuoqing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chang Zuoqing bowed and was about to speak, but unexpectedly the emperor waved his hand, with a smile on his face again.

"Young man, it's normal to doze off more."

After saying this, he went to the dragon chair and sat down, "Besides, it's cold in autumn, of course it's more comfortable in the bed. When I was young, I also liked to lie in bed, and it's the same."

"So, gentlemen, everyone wait a little longer!"

After saying these words, the emperor withdrew his gaze, leaned against the back of the chair and began to fall asleep!
Of course the officials did not dare to make an uproar, but everyone's heart was already boiling.

What does it mean?
There is no need to speculate on this meaning, let alone interpret it!

This is the emperor's words to protect the calf, Li Chen'an is his son with Empress Lu!
The son who can't be kissed any more!
Otherwise, how could it be possible for the emperor to let the civil and military ministers of the whole dynasty stand here and wait for Li Chenan alone!

His Royal Highness is not qualified.

The second prince is even less qualified!
In this world, only Li Chenan has this qualification!
Because the emperor owed him too much, and because the emperor's love for Empress Lu was unmatched by those concubines in the harem!
So all the officials bowed their heads.

It's just that some people's eyes are burning with raging anger, such as the second prince Ning Zhixing.

There are also some people with hope in their eyes, such as Qi Wenjun.

Li Wenhou was also looking at the ground at this moment, but in his eyes... there was a deep worry!

……

……

The day is getting brighter.

It happened to be cold dew, autumn was strong, and the morning frost was very cold.

Although I had breakfast in the morning, from the moment I left the house to now, the time has passed in a blink of an eye.

The door of the main hall was still open, and the autumn wind brought frost and cold, and the ministers standing behind couldn't help but put their hands in their sleeves.

Prime Minister Ji, who was standing in the front, was not feeling well either.

He is old.

Standing for a long time, my legs felt a little numb.

Plus, it's been years since I've stood like this.

He suddenly felt that he should eat more this morning, and he should also add an extra piece of clothing.

He really wanted to sit down at this moment, and he wanted to have a brazier beside him.

He even suddenly wanted to drink a jug of wine.

He looked up at the emperor in the stands, the emperor seemed to be really asleep.

He turned his head and looked behind him, but there was still no sign of Li Chenan.

Damn it!

Where did he go? !
……

……

Li Chenan is actually very innocent.

He really didn't know that the Grand Court would be held so early!
He was called up by Zhongli Ruoshui.

When I woke up, the sky was already slightly bright.

Zhou Shiba drove the carriage all the way and sent him to the side gate of the south gate, where there was already a little eunuch who was waiting like crazy.

"Master Li..."

The little eunuch was as excited as if he saw his own father:
"Your boss is finally here!"

Li Chen'an smiled embarrassedly: "It's not too late, is it?"

"...It's not too long, it's only an hour."

The little eunuch hurriedly led Li Chenan to the Hanyuan Hall, which made it too late for Li Chenan to take a closer look at the appearance of the ancient imperial palace.

When the sun rises, when everyone is falling asleep.

A voice sounded at the gate of Hanyuan Hall:

"Report to the emperor... Mr. Li has arrived...!"

The sound was like a cock crowing, and a guy woke up everyone in Hanyuan Hall.

They looked back, and saw Li Chenan wearing a blue shirt walking in with a smile.

"Ah, everyone, I'm sorry!"

"Keep everyone waiting for a long time, if you don't make an example, don't make an example!"

The crowd made way.

He clasped his hands left and right, and said with a smile still: "I will apologize to everyone, or... after the meeting, I invite everyone to Juxian Pavilion for a raw meal?"

No one answered him.

But all eyes were on him.

This is a little embarrassing.

Li Chenan felt that he was very sincere, but these people... early in the morning looked like they had been startled by a spring dream.

Well, sir, I also saved it.

Wei Xuanmo stood in the distance and looked at him with a smile.

Qi Wenjun also looked at him with a smile.

Li Wenhou still had a serious face, but his eyes were reproachful and... worried.

Ji Tai didn't look back, he looked up at the emperor.

The emperor seemed to wake up from a dream when he heard the voice.

He sat up straight.

Not only was there no long-awaited anger on his face.Instead, he smiled.

"Chen'an, stand beside the prince!"

The ministers were shocked.

It became more and more silent here.
