Chapter 142 Please shut up the third prince
Chu Huanyan looked sideways at Xiao Jinzhi quietly.

The other person always had a smile on his face, and his tone seemed to be talking about other people's matters, which had nothing to do with him.

However, how could it really be so calm and calm?

"Why are you telling me this?" Chu Huanyan said softly.

It's not easy to expose your wounds in front of others.

"Of course I'm trying to make a fool of myself, to see if I can get some sympathy from you, and then I can take advantage of it and ask for comfort." Xiao Jinzhi returned to his previous smile, "Of course, if it can make you feel pity for me, , to be closer, that would be even better.”

Chu Huanyan looked at the other party helplessly, "Your Highness, can you be more serious?"

Having said that, after such a joke, the solemn atmosphere around him relaxed a lot.

Xiao Jinzhi leaned on the carriage and looked at the person in front of him. The smile on his face did not change, but the look in his eyes became more serious.

"I tell you this because I don't want to hide our situation from you. If you fall into trouble one day, you must remember that no matter what your father and mother say to you, don't believe them. Your own safety comes first. "

He liked Chu Huanyan and selfishly pulled her into his world.

But after yesterday's joy, came the worry in his heart. He was afraid that some people would target Chu Huanyan, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to be vigilant at all times and would eventually make mistakes.

Chu Huanyan did not speak, but frowned and looked at Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter's heart suddenly tightened. Could Chu Huanyan regret agreeing to her yesterday?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Chu Huanyan spoke softly, and at the same time, her brows furrowed even more tightly.

Xiao Jinzhi became more and more nervous, and couldn't help but suspect that Chu Huanyan's next sentence would be: Sorry, I want to take back what I said yesterday.

Then distance yourself from the relationship and have nothing to do with it anymore.

"Yesterday, I said..."

"Since you have agreed, you are not allowed to go back on it. I..." Xiao Jinzhi choked up mid-sentence. He realized that he did not seem to be qualified to ask the other party not to go back on his words.

Chu Huanyan was stunned for a moment and looked at him with a complicated expression, "I don't want to go back on my word."

"Really?" Xiao Jinzhi asked immediately.

"Really." Chu Huanyan nodded, "I just want to ask, what I said yesterday should be that I agreed to consider it, right?"

Xiao Jinzhi nodded, "That's right."

"That's it." Chu Huanyan paused and changed the subject, "But what His Highness said just now made it sound like I was going to marry you right away."

Xiao Jinzhi: "..."

Chu Huanyan was speechless. After all, she had nothing to do with Xiao Jinzhi, but Xiao Jinzhi suddenly told her that she and him were completely bound and everyone knew it.

It's really... so weird!

"Just think that I am concerned and confused." Xiao Jinzhi coughed lightly, looking embarrassed. He seemed to be... a little anxious.

Seeing him like this, Chu Huanyan couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

Both of them fell silent, but one felt embarrassed, while the other felt a little funny.Until the carriage stopped, the palace arrived.

Qin Li and Xianyue, who were sitting outside, got off the carriage first and then opened the curtain. Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jin got off the carriage.

At this time, the morning court happened to be over, and the courtiers arrived at the entrance of the palace one after another.

Seeing Xiao Jinzhi, the courtiers came forward to salute, but none of them looked good-looking, especially those who had tried their best to impeach Xiao Jinzhi in court this morning, but they didn't even see him. of courtiers.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I heard that the Emperor has resumed your morning court appearance. I am bold and dare to ask why Your Highness the Crown Prince was not seen in the morning court today?"

The person who spoke was a courtier who looked to be about 50 years old. He was dressed in an official uniform, with gray hair and creases between his eyebrows. Four big characters were branded on his whole body: upright and upright.

"This is Feng Hanyi, Feng Zhongcheng from Yushitai." Xiao Jinzhi introduced to Chu Huanyan.

Chu Huanyan couldn't help but look at the other person carefully. It turned out that he was Feng Hanyi.

Although he is not in the court, there are probably not many people in the imperial city who don't know about the reputation of this fifth-rank censor Zhongcheng.

The words "to speak out and accept advice, rather to bend than to bend, and not to be afraid of the imperial power" may be somewhat exaggerated when applied to other Yushitai officials. After all, as a minister, who can really not be afraid of the majesty of the imperial authority.But for Feng Zhongcheng, these words were tailor-made for him.

He had assisted three generations of emperors and publicly pointed out the emperor's faults in person on several occasions in the Jinluan Palace.Even the current emperor's brother, the late emperor who only served as emperor for just two years, was once pointed at and scolded by him.

As for the current Emperor Xiao, he has pointed out his mistakes many times since he succeeded to the throne. In the past two years, he even openly asked the emperor to issue an edict for his sins.

This made Emperor Xiao furious and almost had him dismissed from office. In the end, a group of courtiers persuaded him to plead for mercy. After all, he was a three-generation veteran and wanted to give him some face, so he gradually gave up.

If it were an ordinary person, after that experience, he would probably have to temper his character, but this Feng Zhongcheng did not.Not only did he continue to speak out and accept remonstrances, but he would also impeach without hesitation any of the officials who had previously persuaded the emperor and interceded on his behalf if they made mistakes.

Some people in the imperial city privately commented that he looked like a firecracker. Others' fault was the flame that lit the fuse. Once touched, the firecracker would explode no matter whether it was on the street or in the house.

Therefore, some people jokingly call Feng Hanyi "Feng Firecracker"!
"I've met Feng Zhongcheng." Chu Huanyan suppressed her laughter and bowed politely.

Feng Hanyi looked at Chu Huanyan, softened his expression slightly and nodded, then turned to Xiao Jinzhi again, the crease between his eyebrows instantly reappeared.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not given me an explanation yet!"

"I accidentally slept with you. Is this explanation satisfactory to Master Feng?" Xiao Jinzhi smiled and shrugged.

"Absurd!" Feng Hanyi frowned, and the crease between his eyebrows could pinch a fly. "As a prince, His Highness is so frivolous in his words and deeds. How can he safely assume such a great responsibility!"

"Master Feng is right." Echoing words came from the palace gate.

Xiao Rongxuan walked up to Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan and looked at Feng Hanyi with a smile.

"I've met the Third Prince." Feng Hanyi cupped his hand.

"Master Feng is a veteran of three dynasties, so there is no need to be polite." Xiao Rongxuan smiled and stretched out his hand to help him up, "I have heard what I said just now. Although my brother is the prince, he was absent from the morning court without any reason. Such behavior is really excessive. Even This prince can’t stand it any longer. Master Feng, I need to trouble you to advise the emperor brother, otherwise..."

Before Xiao Rongxuan finished speaking, Feng Hanyi's face turned serious again, like an iron plate with ink splashed on it.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Rongxuan felt extremely proud and was waiting for Feng Hanyi to accuse Xiao Jinzhi, but unexpectedly the other party turned his eyes and looked straight at him.

"Third Prince, please shut up!"
