45 Back to The Capital, The Emperor’s Unclear Attitude
The weather in the capital was particularly good. The sun was high above the sky while no clouds can be seen obstructing it.
“Is it true that the Crown Prince will come back today? Why haven’t we seen him yet?” A well-dressed man said, while everyone else were standing in the crowd while moving their feet from time to time.
“Yes ah, Yes ah, why didn’t the Crown Prince come back yet? I didn’t know before, but turns out that the Crown Prince is so capable!” Another woman said with admiration.
“Say, all of you, what does the Crown Prince look like? Previously heard from other people said that the Crown Prince was weak and cowardly, but I just know now that that’s just a rumor. Don’t know if Crown Prince’s appearance now is very handsome?” A group of women were thinking curiously.
Shang Wu Xin’s great achievements in Feng Zhou City had been famous. The people of Feng Zhou city had specially written a book filled with the gratitude for the Crown Prince’s help and sent them to the capital. The way they portray him is just like a savior that was sent by the God.
Back then, no matter if it was the capital’s official lady or even a merchant’s lady, no woman was willing to marry into the Crown Prince’s house, no one loves the Crown Prince. But now, after listening to the each and every single rumors of the Crown Prince’s capability and skills, of how after his big self-introduction in his birthday’s banquet, and working hard to benefit the people. The news slowly made the women in the capital to look forward to meet the Crown Prince, and there were even many women who wanted to marry into the Crown Prince’s house.
Deep inside the capital’s City Gate Tower, there sat the emperor. The ministers were standing outside, knowing the big sensation caused by the Crown Prince. The emperor had actually came to personally welcome the Crown Prince, this gesture was only done when the generals won in battles and returned, the princes had never received such a privilege. However Crown Prince was the first person to receive this grace.
“Why hasn’t the Crown Prince back yet? Didn’t he know that Imperial Father is waiting for him at the City Gate Tower?” Shang Chen Zhao (1) dissatisfiedly said, he was currently staying and enjoying himself in Xiao Cui, it’s the largest brothel in the capital. However, he received a message from his subordinates that he needed to go the palace to pick up the nasty Crown Prince. If it wasn’t for the Father Emperor’s arrival today, he would not leave.
No one dared to reply to Shang Chen Zhao’s complaints. They had once done wanton slander on the Crown Prince incompetence in front of the Emperor. But after these few days of investigation, they learned that the Crown Prince was a sleeping tiger. Who dared to pee on the tiger’s head? Even if the Emperor’s attitude was unknown, but with General Leng and Young Master Huan’s helping the Crown Prince, with this kind of support who’d dare to underestimate him?
At this time, behind the imperial curtain seat, no one in the crowd dared to look up at the Qing Emperor. The people below could only saw a bright yellow sedan chair on the tower above their heads.
“Crown Prince!” Didn’t know who shouted at first, but then they finally saw a row of armored soldiers slowly reaching the capital. However, those curious people didn’t see the famous Crown Prince nor the famous General Leng and Young master Huan of Zhenjiang City.
As thousands of soldiers slowly approach the city’s gate, all of them saw a carriage in the middle of the formation. It was protected by the soldiers. This clearly meant that the Crown Prince was definitely in that carriage. Although many people were dissatisfied with the Crown Prince’s attitude, but after thinking that both General Leng and Young master Huan was also in the carriage, no one had raised any objections.
The soldiers stopped in front of the city’s gate in a neat formation. The people’s attention was focused on the carriage, as the carriage’s curtain opened and a man dressed in a blue colored robe came out of it, many women’s face had turned red. This man was the first Young Master in the capital, Huan Mo Che.
A handsome face could be seen clearly, wearing a jade crown on his head, the blue robes were embroidered with gold threads giving a shiny look lining the robe, while his white fingers were holding onto a Jiang Zhuang (2) fan. Huan Mo Che gently smiled and walked down and out of the horse carriage.
Another man came out of the carriage, when he came out, many ministers were shocked. They did not expect General Leng would accompany the Crown Prince in the carriage. It seemed that the relationship between General Leng and the Crown Prince was very good.
Leng Yu Feng was wearing a black vest that was fitted to his strong body and enhanced all his facial features, with his cold temperament, every step that he took brought inexplicable pressure that made many people felt difficult to breathe.
“It turns out to be General Leng!” The voice of the people did not stop clamoring.
“I’ve finally seen Young Master Huan!” a woman’s amazed voice can be heard.
At this moment, both Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che who had already gotten off the carriage were standing on each side of the horse carriage while picking up the carriage’s curtains apart at the same time. This gesture was originally supposed to be done by other subordinates but now such gesture was done by such a proud person, surprised many people.
It is at this time, a figure emerged from the carriage and all the people who saw the Crown Prince’s appearance was surprised.
The man who came out of the carriage, his skin was white as snow, his eyebrows were slightly lifted at the end, his nose was graceful, and his lips were perfectly shaped. Particularly his eyes that shone bright as the stars, revealing wisdom and confidence that could not be ignored like a true nobleman. Long black hair was tied up in a bun on top of his head, with a delicate white jade crown fastened on it. He had beautiful facial features. The ordinary white robes was worn by him gracefully. (3)
In just a fleeting moment, the Crown Prince left the eyes of the crowd and walked up to the city gate’s tower. Those women had become idiots and were obsessed with the Crown Prince’s appearance were still standing there, hoping to catch a glimpse of him one more time, only to realize that the Crown Prince had left. His mysteriousness had just left many people obsessed. At the same time, sitting on the second floor of a tea house, a red-robed man had looked at the appearance of the Crown Prince, and his eyes were filled with deep thoughts.
“Wu Xin, Xin Er…” (4) An awkward voice came out from the red-robed man’s lips, he could only call out to this name behind his back. These past few days after finishing up his own matter, he was ready to go to Feng Zhou city to look for Wu Xin, but in the end, he did not go, because he needed some time to calm down and think about himself.
Therefore, in these past few days, he had endured and suppressed his eagerness to find Wu Xin. Han Xuan Hao (5) was a smart and terrifying person. He had never experienced any love nor women. However, after analyzing his feelings, he knew that he did not like the Crown Prince, nor was he interested in him. But this deep sense of love, even if the other party was a man, even when he’s very clear cold-blooded the Crown Prince was. He still could not stop falling in love towards such a young man.
“Xin Er, tell me what should I do?” Han Xuan Hao looked at the figure on top of the tower, only this figure could make him felt the warmth in his heart.
The three people, Shang Wu Xin, Leng Yu Feng, and Huan Mo Che walked up to the tower, when they’d arrived, the three of them bowed in the ceremony, “Greetings to Imperial Father!” “Greetings to the Emperor!”
In the imperial sedan, no one dared to imagine what the Emperor’s expression was like when he complimented, all they could hear was the cold voice of the emperor, “Crown Prince had done very well. I am very pleased! There is a dinner banquet in the evening palace for Crown Prince, General Leng, and Young Master Huan.”
No one thought that after the Crown Prince’s had made such a great achievement, the Emperor was still so cold to him, this also confirmed the fact that Crown Prince was not favored. The other princes looked at Crown Prince with schadenfreude, while both Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che looked worriedly at the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince still stood there proudly. It seemed that the Emperor’s attitude did not bother her at all.
The emperor left the tower just after these few sentences. Many officials who had gotten a glimpse of the emperor’s attitude, didn’t know whether to congratulate the Crown Prince or not. But they hadn’t decided yet before the Crown Prince too left the tower and returned to his own residence.
