Chapter 105 Making It Clear

"You are not as good as them!"

Han Xu's words were so powerful that the official's face turned pale.

In broad daylight, in front of everyone, Han Xu actually said that he, a third-rank official, was not as good as a few prostitutes.

What a humiliation this was. He could feel that people around him were secretly laughing without even looking up.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!" Although he was angry, he still remembered the task given by the prince. At this moment, he still wanted to use Emperor Wu to attack Han Xu.

In response, the prince showed a satisfied smile, thinking that this person was sensible and worthy of cultivation.

"Haha!" At this time, Emperor Wu laughed.

Then, he said, "My beloved concubine, your brother is really a man of character."

Han Luoling said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Children are ignorant."

"It is normal for young people to have some character. Han Xu's temper is a bit like my temper when I was young." Emperor Wu said with a smile, which shocked everyone.

Obviously, no one expected that Emperor Wu would have such an attitude towards Han Xu.

No matter how you look at it, Han Xu's bringing three courtesans to the spring hunt today is not in accordance with etiquette, but he can just come and place them in an inconspicuous place.

But Han Xu took them to the royal stand, not far from His Majesty.

Emperor Wu seemed to have seen nothing and did not blame them, which also made those who wanted to make a fuss about this matter shut up.

Just now, the prince's party wanted to use the gimmick of the four courtesans gathering to embarrass Han Xu. If Han Xu agreed to let the three dance with him, someone would use their identities to make a fuss.

But Han Xu refused, so these people accused Han Xu of being ignorant, thinking that this would at least make Emperor Wu unhappy.

But Emperor Wu was not only not unhappy, but said that he admired Han Xu's character.

In this way, all the offensives just now fell into the air.

The officials were puzzled. Emperor Wu was usually strict and rigid, so why would he indulge Han Xu's behavior.

There was only one explanation, which was that he loved the house and the dog. It seemed that Emperor Wu's favor for Han Luoling had exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Emperor Wu gave him a step, Han Xu naturally had no reason not to follow the step. After saying that, he naturally returned to his seat.

Yingying in the audience watched this scene silently, trying to stay calm, but her heart was already full of mixed feelings.

As the four most beautiful women, the other three were supported by Han Xu. In order to maintain their dignity, they were willing to stand up, support, and offend the powerful.

But what about her?

She could only stand in the public eye and endure the naked eyes of others.

Even, she had to accept the arrangement of her fate by others.

She knew the role she played today. In the plans of those big men, she was a chess piece, a discarded piece, and the fuse used to ignite the fire.

She thought that if she could stand behind Han Xu like Qing'er and the other two today, would her fate be different?

Emperor Wu spoke to defend Han Xu, and the officials below naturally knew what was good for him and called off the battle.

Just when Han Xu thought that this episode was over, the prince spoke.

With a warm smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Han is really a romantic figure. I have heard that the four most beautiful women in the royal city are all in love with Mr. Han. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Mr. Han has three of the four most beautiful women, so why not take Miss Yingying as well? I believe it will become a good story in the future."

Han Xu didn't know what the prince meant by standing up and shouting that he wanted to help others, but he thought it would not be a good thing.

He said, "I do want to, but I don't know if Yanchun Pavilion is willing to release him."

"Your Highness knows that I am just a commoner with no power or influence, so even if I have ideas in my mind, I have to be cautious in my actions, so as not to accidentally offend some big shots who can't afford to offend."

When Han Xu said this, he kept observing the princes and powerful officials present. According to his speculation, the backer of Yanchun Pavilion must be a big shot.

Among them, he was most suspicious of the prince, but now it seems that the prince is not like that.

But the few people he observed were all like spirits, and their expressions did not change at all.

"Let you guys act one by one, I might as well go with the flow."

Thinking of this, Han Xu continued: "However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to help, I will be very grateful."

The Crown Prince said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the laws of my Great Wu Dynasty are strict. If Yanchun Pavilion is unwilling to let go, I can't force others to hand over Miss Yingying's indenture."

"I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can point out a clear way. I will be very grateful." Han Xu said with a bow.

"Haha!" The Crown Prince suddenly laughed and said to the Fifth Prince who had been silent all the time, "Fifth brother, I think Mr. Han is really interested. I wonder if you are willing to help him?"

Fifth Prince? Wu Xiuren?

Sure enough, there was a prince standing behind Yanchun Pavilion.

Han Xu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yanchun Pavilion was luxuriously decorated and the consumption was ridiculously high. Every detail showed incomparable nobility. It turned out that Wu Xiuren was supporting it behind the scenes.

You should know that among the six ministries, the one that supports the Fifth Prince is the Ministry of Revenue, which is in charge of the world's money. This prince is probably the richest among the princes.

The Fifth Prince was a little surprised and angry when he saw the Crown Prince directly pointed out that Chunyan Pavilion was his property in front of his father. His chest rose and fell violently. The Crown Prince's move was ruthless.

It was true that he founded Chunyan Pavilion, and it was of great significance to him. It was an important means for him to win over his confidants and collect intelligence.

Although the Emperor Wu would not punish him for such a small matter, he could not help but have doubts in his heart.

What their father, the Emperor, disliked most was forming cliques for personal gain and doing some small actions in secret.

I think the role that Yanchun Pavilion can play in the future will be very limited.

When he thought of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the Fifth Prince, but he quickly calmed down. When he knew that Yingying was arranged to perform at the Spring Hunt, he had already prepared himself mentally, but he did not expect it to be so sudden.

Wu Xiuren hated it very much, but he still smiled and said, "My brother, you are joking. Since my brother is willing to give Miss Nishang away, I am willing to help him."

"Mr. Han, I will have someone send Miss Yingying's indenture contract to your house. From now on, she is yours."

The prince looked a little cold. He didn't expect Wu Xiuren to counterattack him so quickly.

He wanted to remove Wu Xiuren's Yanchun Pavilion, but he didn't expect to lose his own Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

However, only a few people knew about the relationship between Xiaoxiang Pavilion and him. How did Wu Xiuren know about it?

The prince silently checked the people around him. It seems that there must be a nail planted by Wu Xiuren among those confidants.

Han Xu looked at this scene with a smile, thinking that there was indeed a surprise today. Xiaoxiang Pavilion was indeed the prince's.

At this point, Han Xu knew the details of three of the four pavilions, and the remaining one was Fengxuan Pavilion, but Bai Yiyi was already in his hands, so Han Xu didn't bother to investigate.

The officials watched the two princes confront each other quietly. Although they only exchanged a few words, they revealed a murderous atmosphere.

It was not a big deal for the princes to open a brothel, but the key point was that Emperor Wu was watching and listening.

After the two princes finished speaking, they became quiet, feeling a little uneasy.

Finally, Emperor Wu broke the silence. To everyone's surprise, he did not express any opinion on this issue, but just said: "You little guys are really interesting."

"Han Xu, you are really lucky."

"Your Majesty is envious?" At this time, Han Luoling suddenly interrupted Emperor Wu's words, and his expression was a little angry.

"I already have a concubine, what is there to envy!" Emperor Wu said quickly, and his look made everyone present drop their jaws.

This sentence is very meaningful.

"It seems that my sister's family status is really high." Han Xu quietly raised his thumb, and then heard the prince say: "Miss Yingying, why don't you go and serve behind Master Han?"
