Chapter 328 A powerful official dressed as a man 1
After Prince Lu got himself into trouble, Yuyan's golden thigh was finally no longer a threat.
Because of this incident, Emperor Qing launched a series of swift and decisive operations.
First, Nangong Chen was appointed as the crown prince.
Secondly, he gave those princes and their mother's families a good beating.
Finally, all the adult princes were granted the title of prince, and were sent to their fiefdoms the next day, with orders that they were not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.
The uproar caused by the assassination soon came to an end, and the fight for the throne in this life did not make any waves at all, and Nangong Chen is now the confirmed crown prince.
Because of her previous contribution in saving the prince, Yuyan was promoted to the fifth rank Hanlin scholar.
Although this lowly official position is not enough to satisfy Yu Yan, it is better than nothing! After all, it was obtained with an arm, so we should cherish it.
Although she was promoted, Yuyan has been recuperating at home recently due to her injury.
Even though Nangong Chen became the crown prince, he still liked to play with Yuyan, and would take the trouble to bring various delicious meals made in the imperial kitchen to nourish her body every day.
Yuyan’s efforts in taking so many supplements were not in vain. After half a month, her arm was almost recovered.
As soon as she felt better, Yuyan was eager to go out and have fun.
She wanted to eat, drink, and have fun, to enjoy the world, and to make up for all the grievances she had suffered while being kept in captivity like a mushroom for the past half month.
She had really had enough of the past half month. She was recuperating in the mansion, and Gu Heng had to supervise her from the side, making it so that she could not do anything and dared not do anything.
He sits in a chair all day pretending to be disabled, and the bones in his body are almost closed.
I don’t know if Prime Minister Gu Heng is really so idle or if he is just being lazy and hiding away.
In the past half month, he came to her house every day regardless of the weather, and often stayed for most of the day. He also said that she was injured because of the prince, and he had the obligation to supervise her to recover well.
But Yuyan felt that he was there specifically to protect him and prevent him from developing a relationship of king and subject with Nangong Chen.
After all, as long as he was there, Nangong Chen would have to put down his meal and go back to the palace to learn how to govern the country as soon as he arrived every day.
Yuyan always felt depressed when she looked at Nangong Chen's leaving back.
She was so afraid that Nangong Chen would be kidnapped by someone else while she was recovering from her injuries. After all, this was her stepping stone to becoming a powerful official in the future!
So now that she was well again, she immediately organized a party and prepared to have fun. She also found a good reason to have fun, to celebrate Nangong Chen's success in taking the position of crown prince.
Although Nangong Chen didn't think there was anything to celebrate about his position as crown prince, this did not affect his agreement with Yuyan's proposal. He hadn't had a drink and fun with Yuyan for a long time.
The two of them met at Zui Xiang Fang again. As soon as they entered, they asked for a private room as if they were familiar with the place, and also ordered a few girls to dance to entertain them.
Just as the wine was served and the dance and music started, Yuyan and Nangong Chen were still chattering about the latest court gossip, when that evil spirit Gu Heng appeared again.
Staring at the girl serving wine beside Yuyan and the dancer in half-transparent clothes in the room, Gu Heng's eyes were cold and he scolded with a stern face.
"Go down."
Looking at the girls who walked out of the room in a flash, and then looking at Gu Heng with a cold face, Yuyan and Nangong Chen didn't dare to breathe, let alone say a word to keep him.
Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Heng waved his sleeves and sat down next to Yuyan.
But he ignored Yu Yan and turned to look at Nangong Chen, looking him in a scrutinizing gaze and speaking softly with a smile on his lips.
"I heard that His Majesty recently asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help review memorials. Has His Royal Highness finished reviewing them?"
“…Not yet.” Nangong Chen’s mouth twitched, and he lowered his head to avoid Gu Heng’s gaze.
He never knew that his father had such a heavy workload. There was a table full of memorials that needed his review, and these were just those left over after the cabinet's review.
Now that the heavy burden fell on him, he had to review the papers until late at night even if he didn't eat or drink.
"Then Your Highness, are you going to return the unreviewed memorials to the Lords tomorrow?"
Nangong Chen wanted to say that he could stay up late to criticize. It was not easy for him to play with Yuyan again in the past half month, and he didn’t want to spoil the fun.
But before he could finish his words, he heard Gu Heng speak again.
"Your Majesty is already old, Your Highness will not disappoint His Majesty!"
"Of course, I will do my best to complete what my father has asked me to do. Ah Yan, I will go back to the palace first. I will try to finish my work as early as possible and come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yuyan looked at Nangong Chen's back and felt a little emotional. Why is he the prince, but she is the only one left alone? Now there is no one to play with her.
Yuyan had a resentful look on her face when she heard Gu Heng cough softly and spoke to her in a gentle voice.
"This kind of place is really detrimental to Master Yu's reputation for being pure and upright. Master Yu should not come here again."
There are so many gorgeous women in the building. How can he attract someone to his side?
Now that his mind is clear, he has to find a way to turn him gay.
He is already bent, how can he still be straight? If you provoke him, you must take responsibility.
Listening to Gu Heng's sermon, Yu Yan curled her lips inwardly but responded with her mouth.
"What Prime Minister Gu said is true, but I am not afraid of worldly eyes, and I just come here to drink. After all, the wine here is mellow and fragrant, which makes people linger for a long time."
"Gu's house also has fine wine. If Lord Yu wants to drink in the future, you can go to Gu's house and drink together."
Yuyan couldn't help but complain about him in her heart. There are so many bars on the street. Guess why I came here? It's because not only can I drink, but there are also beautiful women to look at.
If I just want to drink, I can drink anywhere. Why do I spend a lot of money to come here?
Still going to your house? Haha... Then he would rather quit drinking.
But he put on a smile and kept thanking me.
"...Haha, thank you very much, Prime Minister Gu."
As he spoke, he poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Gu Heng.
Gu Heng looked at Yuyan's slender fingers holding the wine glass, took the wine from her hand and drank it all in one gulp, then reached out and snatched the wine that Yuyan had already handed to his lips, and drank it all again.
After putting down the wine glass, he looked at Yu Yan's frowning and puzzled eyes, then explained.
"Master Yu's injury has not yet healed. I'm afraid the wound will become inflamed. It's better not to drink alcohol for the next period of time."
Yuyan's main feature is that she knows how to read people's expressions. Upon hearing this, she immediately took the teapot beside her and said to Gu Heng in a flattering manner.
"Haha... Thank you for your concern, Minister Gu. Okay, I don't drink alcohol, I drink tea. Come, I will offer a glass of tea to Minister Gu." He then poured another glass of wine for Gu Heng and handed it to him.
Then Yuyan started pouring wine for Gu Heng one glass after another.
"Come, I will offer another toast to Prime Minister Gu."
Damn it, if you don’t let me drink, then you will drink to death.
