Love In The Palace's
Episode 55's

" Since the crown prince has arrived we begin the meeting" the emperor said, looking at his son cynically

Xuan Yi could only remain silent because he knew that he was guilty, should as the crown prince he come first before the emperor

" It seems like I should accept the lecture again after the meeting" Xuan Yi's inner

Xuan Yi and everyone's focus was now on the advancing Finance Minister, he then knelt down and began his grievances

" Your high income numbers continue to decline while our expenditure is twice as much as our income"

" Wasn't our harvest a few months ago very good, our income should also be good or at least unstable" said the crown prince

The trade minister came forward and knelt down before he was summoned

" Honor your honor, the harvest is good but as your majesty knows, Miss xiao lie stopped working with the palace so I was forced to sell the crops out of Neverland

But unfortunately, the price they pegged was not as good as the price of the noble lady xiao lie

And also because of the long distance, the delivery requires more costs"

" What if her highness the crown prince told miss xiao lie to cooperate with the palace again, after all Miss xiao lie the candidate for the crown princess of the empire of Neverland" the prime minister persuaded

Before Xuan Yi would answer the emperor first interjected

" Can't, it's his personal effort without the palace's political interference

He won't, and I won't let him"

All the ministers were silent as soon as the emperor spoke, but in their hearts they did not accept the decision

Xuan Yi who was aware of the situation tried to find another alternative

" What if the public taxes were raised to cover the palace's lack of income"

" Can't it, isn't this year's tax five times higher than last year?" the Emperor asked, looking at the tax minister

" Right noble" replied the taxation minister as he stood up from his seat

" What? why so many fathers? wouldn't that make it difficult for the little people?" saut the crown prince

" In fact, the little people had no trouble at all paying him the crown prince, even the nobles who continued to withdraw payment" said the first prince Ling Mao

The first prince was the son of concubine Ling, the king's second concubine.

Consort Ling had two sons, Ling Mao and Ling Yusik

Of Ling's two sons, his first son was more active in politics

His second son preferred the military

Later if the age of the two of them has been qualified, in accordance with the imperial law both will be given their respective territories so as not to trigger a rebellion

" It seems that the crown prince's highness is too busy huh to the point of not knowing this matter?" sindir prince Ling

While the crown prince had his face pierced red, he was offended because it was true that he had neglected to carry out his duties these few weeks

" The matter of the crown prince neglecting the duty I will reprimand him personally, now we continue the discussion to get out of this situation" the emperor said

" Is it possible that the creator is angry that we are ignoring the traditions of our glorious ancestral age?" the prime minister

" What do you mean?" ask the Emperor

He understood, but he wanted to clarify everything

" From the past when the crown prince was appointed beside him there must be a noble crown princess, and also Shouldn't the noble crown prince already have a future successor?

I just want to remind your highness, according to the tradition of the ancestors that the future successor to the throne must have more than one wife in order to have many successors" explained the prime minister

" Do you know what you just said to the prime minister?" asked the Emperor in a cold tone

The prime minister immediately kowtowed when he heard the cold voice of the emperor

" Pardon the noble servant, I am just a reminder. Servants are afraid that all the chaos that is going on in Neverland is because we are shirking a noble tradition"

The emperor was worried, he then looked at his son who looked speechless

Right now the emperor was sitting opposite his son "what do you think?" the emperor opened the conversation

" I think the ministers have a point father" Xuan Yi said softly

The emperor chuckled cynically at his son

" If you end up thinking like this then why would you want to tie up a xiao lie?

You know what the risk is if you do this to my son?"

" Then I have to how's dad?" xuan Yi asked as he rubbed his face in frustration

" You can only choose my son"

" What if I don't want to choose, how much power he has but he's still under the leadership of Neverland's father

If he doesn't want to I'll make him want to" Xuan Yi said

" Do it if you can" the emperor said in a mocking tone and left his son alone

Xuan Yi who felt dizzy and stressed chose to walk around the palace

But unknowingly his feet stepped towards the food bureau, where he saw the girl who had been comforting for him for a few weeks

Somehow Xuan Yi could be interested in the girl when she was not comparable to her girl but I don't know.....

Xuan Yi did love Xiao Lie but he also wanted to have Sun Jian

It doesn't matter if I have both

" Xuan Yi.." cried Sun Jian as soon as he saw Xuan Yi watching him from outside the room.

Friend Sun Jian suddenly glared at his eyes hearing his extremely inappropriate scream

No matter how close he was to the crown prince he was not worthy to call him that, especially in the palace area

But the one being talked about didn't care and ran over to the crown prince

The crown prince who saw Sun Jian approaching him then clasped the girl's hand and took her away

Xuan Yi felt comfortable with Sun Jian, he felt like he needed a moment with him

Their journey comes to a halt when they cross paths with empress Li Mei

Xuan Yi and Sun Jian bowed respectfully

But the empress did not say a word, she stared flat at her son and the servant girl who was holding hands in front of her

Without a warning the empress directly slapped the servant girl as hard as she could

Xuan Yi who saw Sun Jian slapped his mother immediately tried to help him

But before that the voice of his mother stopped Xuan Yi

" If you still respect me never approach her" the empress threatened to stare at her son

" But I love her mother" Xuan Yi shouted

The empress was not surprised at all, she kept staring at her son sharply

Because he knew his son did not recognize his own feelings

He was only too comfortable when there was someone filling the void in his heart
