The Rich and Powerful Chang An Chapter 47

Sponsored Chapter 47   

Xiao QingYan effortlessly sent Xu Yinghui away in his behalf, naturally Xu ChangAn was happy. However, when he thought about going to the palace tomorrow, his happiness went away. It seemed to be that there was nothing good in every visit to the palace.

“Wangfei, what are you afraid of? There's Wangye over here.” Since Xiao QingYan mentioned about his two maids addressed him that night, Xu ChangAn mentioned it to Chunyu and the rest. In the future, no matter whether they were with outsiders or in private, as long as they were in this residence, they could not call him Young Master.

Xu ChangAn really minded about the address of Wangfei at the beginning, but now it did not matter. It's just an address. At present, his status was already like this. Now, what if Chunyu and the rest call him Young Master? Was he still the Xu ChangAn from before? In other people's eyes, he had long been Xian Wangfei, so whatever he was called, everything was the same.

“That's right. What am I worrying about? Anyway, tomorrow whether I'm feeling at ease or not is depended on the other people.” Xu ChangAn would not take the initiative to cause trouble, but he could not control whether the masters in the palace want to trouble him or not.

Knowing that it's no use thinking about it, Xu ChangAn stopped thinking. He was held up in the room for several days. Now, after all the trouble passed, he went out. He had people called Wu brothers over to go with him to the martial arts training ground for horse riding.

Xiao QingYan specially ordered Xu ChangAn to go into the palace with him. Xu ChangAn thought that it must be the palace that prepared the birthday banquet for Xiao QingYu. Who knew that when they entered the palace, the palace was as usual, and nothing about celebrating was presented in the palace today?

As in the past, they did not go to the Succeeding Empress' palace, but went first to Changsheng Palace, where the empress was enshrined, and then directly to the emperor's palace.

When Xu ChangAn arrived, Xiao QingYu was already there, looking as if he had just been taught by the emperor, with a drooping and an unhappy face.

“Big Brother, you came.”

“Why did you look like that in front of Imperial father?” Although Xiao QingYan did not know what had happened to Xiao QingYu, but it was wrong to put such a face in front of Imperial Father.

Xiao QingYu's face was just a little bit better because of Xiao QingYan's arrival, immediately went down again. He grumbled when glancing at Xiao QingYan, then sat down and did not speak.

In this room at present, there were only Xu ChangAn and the father and sons, and not even a servant of the palace in sight. In the beginning, Xu ChangAn was still confronting himself whether or not to enter the palace, but now he was really nervous, what were the three father and sons doing? “Have you been to your Imperial Mother's place?” Since entering this room, Xu ChangAn had been intentionally or unintentionally buried his head, and did not want to participate in the dialogue between the father and sons. At this time, when he heard the emperor's dialogue, he wanted to look up to see how Xiao QingYan answered and then he would follow after to respond, but he did not know until he raised his head that the emperor was asking Xiao QingYu.

“I went.”

“Hmm. When your imperial mother gave birth to you, it was a difficult birth. It took three days and three nights for her to give birth to you. She suffered so much, but now how do you repay her? How old are you, only know how to spend all day in drinking and pleasure? Why don't you marry a wife and have children as soon as possible so that your imperial mother can rest at ease?" The emperor's face was very serious, but his words were full of care and love, which was no different from a normal father who worried about his children's marriage.

It was said that there was no father and son in the Heaven Family, but Xu ChangAn felt that at least now, the Son of Heaven of the Great Xiao Dynasty, the master of all the people in the land under heaven, was no different from the father in general.

Four people sat at the same table: Xu ChangAn sat next to Xiao QingYan, and Xiao QingYu sat on the emperor's right hand. There was a vacancy on the emperor's left hand. Xu ChangAn thought that it should be reserved for Xiao QingYan's imperial mother. Not being close to the emperor, Xu ChangAn could feel less tension. However, he tried his best to watch his etiquette and properly seated. He didn't talk too much, for fear of making too many mistakes.

After the few people sat down, the palace people came in one after another. They brought in food and drinks. Before long, the tables were full of food and drinks, and one by one they left. Xu ChangAn really did not expect that none of those people had stayed. The emperor did not need people to serve his meals?

Looking at his left and right, Xu ChangAn felt that today's service must be done by his own. Standing up and pouring wine for the father and sons, Xiao QingYan did not stop him, so Xu ChangAn did it with ease.

After a thought, Xu ChangAn also poured wine for himself, and even brought a drink to the empty seat.

During the meal, the father and sons did not speak much, but a cup of wine had not stopped. Xu ChangAn was busy pouring wine for the father and sons, but he did not drink much. After a meal was eaten, Xu ChangAn could smell strong alcohol on Xiao QingYan's body. Of course, Xiao QingYu and the emperor around him were not much better.

“You turn eighteen today. If there is still no woman you like, you will be married by your father. I believe your imperial mother will not blame me.”

“I don't want to! I'll make own decision who to marry! Imperial Father, my big brother's marriage was your decision, didn't you harmed him enough and even want to harm me?

Do you really remember Imperial Mother? If you remember her, how could you marry off a man to my big brother? Are you harming my big brother's life for the sake of Xiao QingNian?!" Xiao QingYu's face was flushed and his mouth was full of alcohol smell. He was obviously drunk. But even if he was drunk, the person in front of him was not only his father but also his emperor. He spoke in such a tone. How could a monarch who was in his high position where people never dare to rebel against him stand it? Xu ChangAn was shocked by Xiao QingYu's words. His whole body tightened up and hurriedly looked at Xiao QingYan nearby. Xiao QingYan frowned and the expression on his face could not be described. Seeing that Xiao QingYan was ready to open his mouth, Xu ChangAn became afraid of what he would say, so he hurriedly said, “Imperial Father, His Fourth Highness is drunk. Don't listen to his nonsense! And…. And right, Xu ChangAn and Wangye… We, we get along very well, and there is no dissatisfaction in Wangye's heart!"

Xu ChangAn felt as though his heart was going to pop out of his chest. He could almost hear his heart beating like a thunder drum.  He became even more nervous by the proof of what he had just said, so much so that he had pulled on Xiao QingYan's arm.

He looked at Xiao QingYan's face. He was endlessly anxious and worried, but his face could only wear a tiny smile and dare not have any superfluous expression.

The emperor's face was not looking good, but he did not say anything all the time. Xu ChangAn knew that the first sentence of the emperor's opening might be related to Xiao QingYu's ending today. He was preparing to open his mouth to say something more, but Xiao QingYan opened his mouth first.

“Do you think you are still a child? Is that what you want say? Today, no outsiders are present when you're talking like that. If there are others, even if Imperial Father doesn't bother about you, but you certainly need to be punished severely in order to convince the public!

Imperial Father, there is no dissatisfaction in your son's heart. What QingYu had said today is also right. I will say it clearly. You all don't have to guess my mind in the future. I'm not dissatisfied with Xian Wangfei today. You all don't have worry about me." Xu ChangAn's hand was still holding Xiao QingYan's arm. Xiao QingYan's words made his heart beat like a drum. He was even more nervous than just now. For a moment, he seemed to be in a fantasy. What he saw and heard in front of him felt like a dream?

Whatever the two brothers' said or the emperor's reaction, they all surprised Xu ChangAn. How did the father and sons of the Imperial Family get along with each other?

“Just told that you're already eighteen years old, not small, but then you immediately said such rebellious words! You… Alright, alright! You all go out of the palace. I'm going to see your Imperial Mother." The emperor finally opened his mouth, but his face was tired and lonely. He stood up and waved his hands to let them out of the palace, and called out the palace servants to come in.

Waited until this moment, Xu ChangAn dared to look at the emperor's face carefully. He found that the emperor did not seem to be angry, but his face was still somewhat bad. Looking closely at the three people in the room, Xu ChangAn found that they all had something in common. For example, now, when their mind was bothered but could not let it out, their eyebrows would wrinkle slightly, their eyes would not look at others, and they did not want to talk much.

When they left the Emperor's Taiji Palace, Xu ChangAn still seemed to be in a fog, totally confused. He had just been worried to death because of Xiao QingYu's words, but that was the end? The emperor actually didn't even bother? The emperor seemed to be in acquiescent and evasive attitude, which made Xiao QingYu could not be able to guess his mind, and Xiao QingYu deliberately chose such a day to ask. That was, he knew that only on this day he might not be punished by his Imperial Father, but he actually did not get anything, he was disappointed and also did not mind the irksome people on one side, he directly separated from the two people and left first.

“It's all right. Let's go.” The person at his side was still tugging on his arm. Of course, Xiao QingYan knew Xu ChangAn was nervous. Xiao Qingyan was not afraid from the beginning. In the event of today, no matter what QingYu said, his Imperial Father would not blame him.

“Hmm.” Xiao QingYan was actually looking really at ease, Xiao QingYu also left, and the emperor did not really look angry, which to say… From the beginning to the end, Xu ChangAn was worrying alone?

This family of father and sons did not care about it at all?!

When Xu ChangAn thought of this conclusion, he was depressed. He was afraid for half a day, but in their eyes, nothing actually happened. He was really worried in vain!!

“The words just now, can you be rest assured?”

“Ah?” Xu ChangAn did not understand what Xiao QingYan meant by this sudden remark, but this person was already drunk at first sight. Whatever Xiao QingYan said, he could deal with it at this time.

“I'm rest assured, rest assured. You can be rest assured.” Xu ChangAn finished talking and discovered that Xiao QingYan might be really drunk because he(XQY) held his hand tightly. It was supposed to be that he was afraid of tripping his feet.
