Chapter 840 The Emperor and The Empress Return (1/2)
On the second day, Luo Qingyan got up early and went to the court. Although the officials had been announced the imperial edict yesterday, they hadn't got a chance to congratulate the Crown Prince as they were stopped outside Prince Rui's Mansion. They arrived very early this morning and unexpectedly no one asked for leave.
Luo Qingyan has officially become the Crown Prince. Although no one knew if he would succeed to the throne in the end, they wouldn't miss any chance to flatter him as long as he was in the position.
As soon as Luo Qingyan stepped into the Meeting Hall, he saw that almost all the officials were present, whispering. Luo Qingyan had excellent hearing and easily caught the words ”Crown Prince”, ”ascend the throne”.
The noise in hall quenched at once as they noticed Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan walked directly to the chair under the dragon throne and sat down. The officials hurriedly knelt in respect. ”Long Live His Highness Crown Prince.”
Luo Qingyan remained calm and waved his hand indifferently. ”Arise.”
The officials were observing Luo Qingyan's expression secretly. Seeing that Luo Qingyan was still so cold, they had to swallow their prepared congratulations and compliments.

The two of them exchanged a look, and then the Minister of Personnel said first, ”How wonderful it is to hear about Your Highness Crown Prince's baby! We have been waiting for the opportunity to congratulate Your Highness. It's true that good things come in pairs. Congratulations! Congratulations!”
Luo Qingyan paused for a moment, with a touch of coldness flashing in his eyes. After a while, he replied indifferently, ”You are really well-informed, Lord Lin...”
Hearing this, Lord Lin widened his eyes and wondered why the new Crown Prince looked unhappy? Did he say something wrong?
Seeing Luo Qingyan's reaction, the rest of them had to hold back their congratulations. They just followed Luo Qingyan quietly.
When they arrived at the gate of the Palace, Luo Qingyan asked someone to lead horses there and rode along the Wen Wu Road with the officials to the gate of Jin City. When they arrived at the city gate, Xia Huanyu's carriage hadn't arrived yet. The guard who had gone to inquire reported hurriedly that the Emperor's carriage would arrive in about an hour. Luo Qingyan nodded, got off the ho
