Liu Qihao and Liu Jingcheng passed each other. Liu Jingcheng was preoccupied with something at the moment and had no time to care about others, and did not notice Liu Qihao's gaze.

Seeing his son walking towards him with a beaming face, Emperor Shunhe also stood up from the dragon throne with a smile on his face.

"Why, are you willing to come to the palace to see your father?" The emperor complained lightly, but told Debao to quickly serve tea to Prince Hong, and then went to guard the door.

Outside the door, Fu Tingxuan stopped Dequan again and asked about the doctor. Dequan was already annoyed and had already said he didn't know, but this young General Fu seemed to be possessed by a ghost and insisted on asking for clarification.

There were several times when he almost couldn't hold back and said it out loud, but the emperor wouldn't let him. He had to endure it even though he couldn't help it, it was just too painful.

"Young general, Prince Hong is here to pay a visit to His Majesty. Perhaps you can ask Prince Hong." Debao came out to help Dequan out. He had already understood what the emperor meant. That was Prince Hong's wife, and no one else should think about her.

Fu Tingxuan let Dequan go and glanced at Eunuch Debao, "Prince Hong, what could he know? He even asked me."

Then he had no choice but to look at the guards around him. The emperor's study was so airtight that not even a mosquito could fly in, so he got up and went to check other places.

In the study, Liu Jingcheng bowed deeply to the emperor, then knelt on the ground and refused to get up, "What's going on? Is there anything important that requires my help?"

Liu Jingcheng had already prepared several drafts, and then he chose the one he was most satisfied with and told the emperor.

"Father, I want to get married." Liu Jingcheng thought it was better to be a fool, without any scruples, and say whatever he wanted. But at this moment, he didn't want to play dumb anymore, because that would not be worthy of Hua Xiyu. She was so free and easy, how could he be timid everywhere?

"Well, which girl have you taken a fancy to? Tell your father about it." The emperor suddenly became interested.

"Will your father grant me marriage if I like anyone?" Liu Jingcheng asked.

"That's not necessarily true. The Queen has arranged a marriage for you before, and I think it's a good one." The emperor thought of Hua Xiyu, who was his target.

"Why does your Majesty think it's a good idea? The eldest daughter of the Hua family has stayed in Shuiyue Temple for ten years. How can she be worthy of being a princess?" Liu Jingcheng was a little angry. Didn't the emperor know all this? Why did he agree with the Queen's opinion and let him marry a fool?

"She may not be as the legend says. What's wrong with Shuiyue Temple? Shuiyue Temple is a good place to cultivate one's body and mind. There is nothing wrong with it." The emperor did not want to say anything and waited for his son to receive a surprise.

Liu Jingcheng didn't understand what his father meant. He thought that his father was timid and cowardly, and only wanted to please the queen. That was what happened to the Mei family and his mother. How could he be the emperor if he was so cowardly?

"Then let's do as the emperor and the queen mother wish. Please issue an edict as soon as possible," Liu Jingcheng kowtowed to his father again, "But, you must write clearly that it is Hua Xiyu, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Hua's mansion."

"Hua Xiyu? You kid, you are playing tricks on your father. I am talking about Hua Xiyu." The emperor looked at the name he wrote, and the father and son smiled at each other.

When Liu Hao walked out of the palace, Han Xing, who was waiting at the door, immediately came up to him and said, "Young Master, has the Emperor agreed? Are you already the Crown Prince?"

Liu Hao changed his timid look and looked at Han Xing thoughtfully, "Han Xing, what do you think about us living in the capital from now on?"

Han Xing thought about it seriously and said, "Young Master, that's a good idea, but I'm afraid the emperor won't agree. The prince's fiefdom is in southern Xinjiang, and he cannot enter the capital without being summoned."

"Yeah, that's what you said."

The carriage quickly returned to the inn, and Liu Hao returned to the courtyard where he lived. Someone was waiting for him in the house.

When the "young master" saw Liu Hao coming, the man quickly stood up and greeted him.

"You came so quickly," Liu Hao exclaimed, and then asked someone to sit down and talk.

"I have completed the task assigned by you before you left." He took out a letter bag from his arms. Inside was a piece of sheepskin with a picture of the defense situation in southern Xinjiang.

Liu Hao looked at it carefully again and again, confirming that this was the real defense map, and looked at the person who came excitedly, "Uncle, are you okay?"

"Everything is fine."

Liu Hao was thinking about how to explain this matter to the emperor. He wanted to destroy Prince Kang's mansion, but at the same time he didn't want to be known as someone who sold out his father for fame.

His father, the king, and the princess, don't they care about the throne? Don't they want to rebel? Don't they hate me and my son? Then I will destroy the whole palace in my hands. He thought that it would be very satisfying to see the painful and unbelievable expression on Prince Kang's face. He would let him see how his son, whom he had always looked down on and ignored, destroyed the palace he had worked hard for all his life.

Thinking of this, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

His mother was not a singing and dancing girl. She was someone that Prince Kang met by chance while traveling and then forcibly possessed. After that, she was brought to Prince Kang's palace. Because of her outstanding beauty, she was once favored by Prince Kang. After giving birth to him, Prince Kang's wife sent his mother to the west with a bowl of poison.

He was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.

At that time, Prince Kang just watched Princess Kang give his concubine drugs without any reaction. He would not even blink an eye at sacrificing a woman for his great cause.

Uncle Lan Zuoshu found his sister's body, vowed to avenge her, and then resolutely joined King Kang's army. In order to take care of their father, his uncle's five sons also joined the army one after another. In this way, they worked in King Kang's army for many years, established their own power, and then waited for a critical moment to deal a fatal blow to King Kang's palace.

Now, my uncle has been promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand men, commanding more than a thousand men. He has independent authority to mobilize troops and is eligible to participate in meetings of senior generals, which allows him to get to know more inside information.

He grew up under the care of his uncle. If it weren't for his uncle, he would have starved to death in Prince Kang's Mansion long ago.

After sending his uncle's messenger away, he decided to have a good sleep in the inn first. It was not a simple matter of the emperor saying or issuing an imperial decree to confer the title of a prince. Whether a prince of a royal palace was qualified or not could only be determined after the ministers discussed it in the court. However, people in the world were cunning. It was your family's business, whoever wanted to inherit the title could inherit it. In order not to offend anyone, it was just a formality. If someone wanted to be serious, then it was really uncertain who would be the prince.

Liu Jingcheng said goodbye and left the palace, heading straight for the Mangrove Pavilion Hotel, where Hua Xiyu had an appointment with Prime Minister Hua. He had to go and keep things under control for her. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't do anything to her own father. The ancients could not understand modern people's concepts of giving birth and raising, and it was even more impossible for them to know that modern people have different understandings of filial piety and foolish filial piety.

In the Mangrove Pavilion Hotel, Zhai Liangyu reserved the most luxurious and modern private room for Hua Xiyu. When A Tu accompanied her in, she was immediately attracted by the modern decoration style of the hotel.

"A Tu, how long has this hotel been open?" She sensitively noticed that this was not the style of the ancients. Except for the lack of electricity, the layout was modern everywhere.

"Well, I'm not too sure about that. I'll ask Brother Qi later." Ah Tu hadn't arrived in Huicheng much earlier than her, so of course he didn't know.

A servant led her to the "Cang'er River" private room.

Hua Xiyu looked around and found that this was the style of a modern hotel. The first floor was an entertainment room, the second floor was for dining, and the third floor was for accommodation. If the ancient buildings could be built with ten or eight floors, wouldn't this be a modern restaurant?

"What's the name of your hotel?" All this was arranged by Liu Jingcheng. She just followed A Tu here and didn't know the name of the restaurant.

"Oh, this is the Mangrove Court Hotel," replied the servant who led the way.

"Red Tree Pavilion?" Hua Xiyu was surprised. Has Red Tree Pavilion existed so long ago? She had also been to the Red Tree Pavilion Hotel in Huicheng.

The location of the Cang'er River private room is very good. You can see the street view of Huicheng by opening the window. Hua Xiyu remembers that this location in the Mangrove Pavilion of Modern Huicheng is also the Cang'er River private room. There is a large floor-to-ceiling glass. Since it is on the 30th floor, you can have a panoramic view of most of Huicheng.

Hua Xiyu stood in front of the window and watched the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly approaching on the street, watched Prime Minister Hua get off the carriage, watched Yiqi lead Chunliu get off another carriage, and then entered the Mangrove Pavilion Hotel together.

The hotel had been told about it in advance, and when the people from Prince Hong's Palace arrived, they were taken directly to the Cang'er River box.

Zhai Liangyu knocked on the door gently, and Hua Xiyu responded from inside, "Come in."

Zhai Liangyu pushed open the door and led Prime Minister Hua into the box. Chun Liu followed closely behind them. When she saw Hua Xiyu, she immediately moved closer to her.

When Zhai Liangyu met Hua Xiyu for the first time, he didn't know her identity, but someone who could ask the Prince's Mansion to help him make an appointment with the Prime Minister must be someone with extraordinary status, so he was very cautious. Of course, as the boss, he treated everyone as a guest, and his employees were polite and courteous to all guests.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, lunch has been arranged at the palace. How about we eat first and then talk about business?"

Hua Xiyu had been observing Zhai Liangyu. His words and actions were different from those of the ancients. When he learned that he was the boss, he suddenly wanted to test him.

"Boss Zhai, please give me a cup of coffee first."

"Coffee?" Zhai Liangyu looked up suddenly, his eyes shining. It had been a long time since he heard the name coffee. Oh, it had been five years. Since returning to South Vietnam, he had never deliberately thought about the modern Huicheng, but he would always inadvertently compare the ancient and modern times.

After all, this is the place where I have lived for eighteen years. How can I forget it just like that?

"Oh, sorry, we don't have coffee in the shop." Zhai Liangyu quickly returned to normal, left the private room and asked the waiter to serve the dishes quickly.

Hua Xiyu bowed to Prime Minister Hua and said, "Prime Minister, please take a seat."

There was no respect at all from children to their parents. It was just like two acquaintances of the same age meeting again.

Hua Yuwei didn't know how to respond for a moment. As a man who had been in the officialdom for half his life, he seemed a little embarrassed at this moment.

"I guess Chunliu has already informed the Prime Minister about my affairs." Hua Xiyu was not as nervous as him. He had jumped into the river to escape and now he had to go back, so he had to inform the Prime Minister. Even though he was his biological father, he didn't feel close to him at all. He looked at him as if he were an ancient person.

"Back then..." Prime Minister Hua looked at his biological daughter in front of him, feeling a little dazed.

"It's not your fault for what happened back then. I'm going back to the Prime Minister's Residence now, and I'll marry into Prince Xuan's Mansion after the Emperor grants the marriage." Hua Xiyu interrupted him as he was reminiscing about the past.

"Then what do you want to do?" When it comes to planning things, the Prime Minister's IQ immediately returns. These things are very simple with a little operation.

"I will follow the Prime Minister's arrangements in everything." Hua Xiyu bowed again.

"Okay then." Prime Minister Hua was not vague and immediately called Hua Xi in and whispered something to him. After Hua Xi left, Zhai Liangyu's dishes were almost served.

At this time, Liu Jingcheng also returned from the palace, just in time for lunch.

The Prime Minister was still cautious. His daughter had disappeared since she was born, so how could someone come and say it was her? Although the person in front of him was the one he asked Butler Xu to bring back from Shuiyue Temple, the fake one was already dead. How could they prove that they were the real Hua Qianyu and not an imposter?
