Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 285
Bai Jinchen turned his head to look at the backs of Bai Jinchu and Yuan Hua, nodded slightly, and followed quickly.

The three came to the center of the hall, and Yuan Hua and Bai Jinchen knelt down together.

Bai Jinchen knelt beside Yuan Hua, and spoke first: "Royal father, fortunately, my son did not disgrace his life, and brought back the virtuous king and the eighth concubine."

Hearing Bai Jinchen's voice, the emperor slowly raised his head from the memorial.

Seeing the three people who were kneeling or sitting below, the emperor's calm expression eased a little: "You did a good job."

Bai Jinchen was not happy to be praised by the emperor.

I remembered that Bai Jinchu said that Bai Jinqi would use the establishment of the reserve to push him to the forefront.

He didn't believe it at first, but now, everything in the court really answered Bai Jinchu's words, and the ministers began to persuade his father to establish a crown prince as soon as possible.

"My son pays respects to Father Emperor."

Just when Bai Jinchen was in a bad mood, the voices of Bai Jinchu and Yuan Hua suddenly came from beside him.

The emperor turned to look at the two of them, a smile finally appeared on his face: "Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

Yuan Hua and Bai Jinchen responded in unison, and slowly stood up.

The emperor's eyes swept back and forth between the three of them, and finally fell on Bai Jinchen: "Chen'er, recently the ministers proposed the establishment of a reserve, what do you think about this matter?"

It seemed that he didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask him about Li Chu, Bai Jinchen was slightly taken aback, but soon came back to his senses.

If it was changed before, he would definitely agree with this matter.

After all, his current power in the court is unmatched by all the princes, and the position of prince must belong to him.

But after hearing Bai Jinchu's words, he realized that becoming a prince too early is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinchen frowned slightly, and looked at the emperor pretending to be surprised: "Father is in good health, why did you establish a crown prince so early?"

A hint of doubt quickly flashed across the emperor's eyes: "You don't agree with the establishment of a reserve now?"

"My son disagrees!"

Bai Jinchen answered decisively without any hesitation.

The emperor looked at him, slightly surprised.

But he didn't ask any further questions, and turned to look at Bai Jinchu: "Chu'er, what do you think?"

"The son and the emperor have the same thoughts."

"Oh?" The emperor's final voice rose slightly: "It's rare for you two brothers to agree so much."

The emperor looked at the two brothers below with great satisfaction, but there was no trace on his face.

"However, Qi'er has quite different ideas from yours. He thinks that I should establish a crown prince as soon as possible, and even the candidate for the crown prince has been thought out for me."

As the emperor's voice fell, Bai Jinchen frowned slightly, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

He quickly closed his eyes, trying not to let his emotions show on his face.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the emperor stood up slowly, and came to them in a leisurely manner: "Guess, who is Qier's candidate for the crown prince?"

"My son doesn't know."

The two spoke in unison and reached an unprecedented tacit understanding.

The emperor's eyes quickly swept across the two of them, and a smile appeared on his face: "Qi'er said that in terms of intelligence and strategy, the position of the crown prince should be Chu'er. But the candidate for the crown prince in his heart is more inclined to Chen Son."

Hearing this, Bai Jinchen frowned even tighter.

All of this was indeed guessed right by Bai Jinchu.

Clasping his hands into fists, Bai Jinchen lowered his eyes, his expression became very solemn.
