Chapter 347: Brothel Identity Revealed
Emperor Kun glanced at Queen Qin’s gloomy face.
He also knew his son's obsession with Fang Qingge, and after a moment's thought, he said,
"Fang Liangdi, come forward."
"Your Majesty? No!" Queen Qin shouted without regard for etiquette. Emperor Kun ignored her and glanced at her.
The cold light in Emperor Kun's eyes frightened Queen Qin's heart and she dared not say another word.
At this time, the eunuch De, who was listening to the imperial decree, had already shouted,
"Fang Liangdi came forward to meet the emperor..."
Fang Qingge stood up upon hearing this, and walked forward gracefully, while she and the prince took a step back.
Then he knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Donggong Fang Qingge pays respect to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the empress, a thousand years and a thousand thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Hearing such a sweet voice, the hall fell silent for a moment.
*
"Keep your head up."
This was the first time that Emperor Kun met Fang Qingge, and he was obviously dazzled by her stunning beauty.
I thought to myself, no wonder the prince lost his mind for this woman.
It was also the first time that everyone saw this legendary woman in the East Palace. "Oh~ No wonder!" They already understood in their hearts.
Especially those ladies of marriageable age, led by their parents, all came with love in their hearts and for different purposes.
When they saw Fang Qingge in person, they felt ashamed and twisted their handkerchiefs, their faces turned pale.
Emperor Kun glanced at everyone's expressions and said,
"Today is the Crown Prince's celebration banquet. Now that I have spoken, I will not go back on my word.
Fang Qingge, please listen to my orders. "
Fang Qingge kowtowed hurriedly and said,
"Yes, Qingge, accept the order."
As soon as I said this, I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say next.
*
When Emperor Kun saw him, he thought to himself, he is an honest man, and he couldn't help but chuckle and said with satisfaction,
"The Eastern Palace Concubine Fang Qingge is skilled and generous, kind and honest, and has outstanding character and appearance. She also has a son and a daughter.
Today, I hereby grant her special permission to be crowned as the Crown Prince's concubine. All ceremonies will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory to carry out the enthronement ceremony.
I hope you will abide by your duties and work with the prince in the same mind and spirit…”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor."
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Qingge was dizzy and dazed when a pie suddenly hit him on the head. He was still a little dazed.
The prince stepped forward and gently helped her up, and the golden boy and jade girl stood up and stood in the hall, making everyone's eyes as pleasing as if they had been washed.
"Thank you, Father, for your grace."
The prince and Fang Qingge knelt down again to express their gratitude.
*
And no one noticed that Concubine Xiao had a hideous and smug smile on her face as she lowered her head and covered her face with her wide sleeves.
Everything Concubine Xiao did today was in accordance with the Button Immortal Sect's strategy of taking every step carefully.
Just like what she was taught in her previous life, if you want to destroy someone, you must first lift him up high, the higher the better.
Then let him fall heavily from the height and fall into the dust.
That way you can be sure of being crushed to pieces.
When Concubine Xiao thought of this, she seemed to see what would happen to the Crown Prince and Fang Qingge, and she laughed out loud.
"Your Majesty, today is a day of great joy. I want to drink a few more glasses!"
"Your Majesty, congratulations!"
Someone agrees.
All the ministers also raised their glasses to congratulate him.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"
"Congratulations, Prince, and congratulations to Concubine Fang."
Emperor Kun smiled and watched the Crown Prince and Fang Qingge join hands to thank everyone.
There was a festive atmosphere in the hall.
*
And just at this time,
Outside the hall, an old man's voice came in.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Everyone turned around and saw an old man walking in from outside the hall, staggering with every step, holding a few memorials in his hands.
The visitor was Lord Geng, a troublesome censor who had served in two dynasties. He walked in supported by his son.
Everyone was a little stunned, wondering why this old man, who was already in his seventies and enjoying his retirement at home, came out again? !
Everyone sat up straight, for fear that this old man covered in thorns would catch them doing something wrong and then make a big fuss and skin them alive.
*
Censor Geng pushed his son's hand away and slowly walked to Emperor Kun.
With a "thump" he knelt down and kowtowed.
"I would like to express my greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Mr. Geng, please stand up. Mr. De, please take a seat."
Emperor Kun smiled and looked very respectful to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Censor Geng was helped up by his son who had stood up nearby, but he did not sit down and looked around.
After taking a few breaths, he said to Duke De,
"Please ask Eunuch De to present a few impeachment memorials to the emperor."
Eunuch De was surprised when he heard this, and didn't understand why this old man came to mess up the situation at this time!
He quickly glanced at the emperor, Emperor Kun nodded, and Eunuch De smiled and said,
"Please take a seat, old sir. I will present it to His Majesty."
Censor Geng handed the memorial to Eunuch De with shaking old hands, and then sat on the chair that Eunuch De had brought over.
*
His son hurriedly rubbed his father's back. Censor Geng groaned twice and took a few deep breaths.
Then he bowed to the emperor and said,
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for coming here uninvited. I am in poor health and cannot stand for long, so I can only sit down and report to you!"
"Geng Aiqing, it's alright. What's the matter that requires you to come here in person?"
Emperor Kun was also somewhat intimidated by this old troublemaker and had been looking forward to his retirement and return home.
But this old guy would still jump out from time to time, causing headaches for the ministers who had guilty consciences.
*
Then I heard Censor Geng clear his throat and said word by word in a trembling voice,
"I, your humble servant, am here to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for three crimes.
One crime is deceiving superiors and subordinates and committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.
The second crime was to replace one thing with another and disrupt the rules of the palace selection.
The three deadly sins are: failing to manage the household properly and doting on prostitutes, which caused disasters.
To sum up, the charges mentioned above are all true, and there are both witnesses and evidence. They are definitely not my own fabrications.
The old ministers are deeply disappointed with the crown prince of Daliang, which shows that the prince is not up to the heavy responsibility.
"I, an old minister, have doubts about the Crown Prince's achievements. I'm afraid the future of Daliang is worrying! Your Majesty!"
Censor Geng finished his words breathlessly, stood up tremblingly, and knelt down in front of Emperor Kun with a plop.
"Your Majesty, every word I say is true. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning.
"I have gathered all the evidence and brought two witnesses to wait outside the door. Your Majesty, please summon them to face each other and everything will be clear!"
After these words were spoken, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
*
Everyone was shocked by Censor Geng's well-reasoned impeachment charges.
They looked at the prince's thin profile with murky expressions.
Look at the beautiful Fang Liangdi beside the prince. No, it should be Concubine Fang! After all, the emperor has made his final decision.
The wives of the ministers had never seen anyone impeach the prince so mercilessly, and their faces turned pale.
No one could guess what Emperor Kun was thinking from his usually calm face.
Queen Qin suddenly raised her head and looked at Censor Geng with bloodshot eyes.
