"What Zitong said is true." The emperor nodded. "It seems to be quite elegant in this way."
King Yu was always worried about whether the princess would embarrass him, but he never expected that Su Qinshui, who was dressed up tonight, would be so graceful and beautiful. A little more tenderness.
His love is based on interests.
When Qing Huan walked around, her skirt didn't move, her pearl hairpin didn't shake, her every move was full of great demeanor, even her smile was just right. It can be said that among so many princesses, she is the only one who stands out the most. Even though they were all wearing palace attire, they were of the same grade, but she was stunned to be more dazzling than the others.
It is said that Concubine Yu has stayed behind closed doors for more than ten years and she is very jealous, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
The palace banquet gradually reached its climax, and the emperor suddenly smiled and said: "Today, besides the New Year's Eve, there is one more thing. I want to celebrate with all my loves."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people below looked at each other in blank dismay. This... Now that there are internal and external troubles, what else is there to celebrate besides the festival? But if you take a closer look, the emperor's face today is indeed full of joy, and even his complexion is better. Could it be that there is really some great happy event
The emperor looked at the puzzled reactions of the officials in the palace with satisfaction, and was very happy in his heart. No one knew about this matter except him and a few confidants. It coincided with the festive season, and he endured it for several days before swallowing the news until today. just said. "In recent years, I have repeatedly worried about the invasion of the enemy country. Huang Rui lost ten battles in a row, resulting in ten cities falling into the hands of the enemy country. King Yu was ordered to go to the frontier in the face of danger. It has been more than half a year now. A few days ago Good news came from the front, and all the fallen cities were recovered, not only that, but also the commander of the enemy country was taken down and pursued by the victory, so that the monarch of the enemy country ceded the land and offered a peace letter! You think, should I be happy?!"
Nature should be happy! Immediately, all the ministers Youzhi prostrated themselves on the ground together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"
Qing Huan thought, what does this have to do with you, an old emperor.
At this moment, the eunuch sang loudly: "General Yangwei has an audience outside the hall—"
A handsome young general in silver and white armor strode forward from outside the hall with the fierceness and murderous aura unique to the battlefield, and kowtowed heavily to the emperor: "The last general pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
The emperor laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes: "Good boy, get up, come quickly and let the emperor have a look."
The hall was full of people, and he actually wanted to play a show of deep love between grandparents and grandchildren in front of everyone. Fortunately, although the emperor was very suspicious of him at the beginning, in recent years, he has also sincerely loved and valued him, so Qi Chen is also very willing to cooperate. Compared with half a year ago, he has grown taller and stronger, and the greenness between his brows and eyes has faded. War can make a person grow best. At this moment, he still has the appearance of the half-grown boy half a year ago, as if the sword and the wind and frost have been let down. He grew into a real man.
The emperor spoke a few more words to Qi Chen, and the queen pulled Qi Chen to her side to greet him. Qing Huan inadvertently took a look at King Yu, his eyes were bright and his face was flushed, his expression was as excited as if the young man whom the Empress kept praising and loving was not his son but him.
Does this mean that with Qi Chen around, his status as the crown prince is sure to win
Soon, the emperor said in a loud voice: "Apart from the fact that Prince Yu's son's flag will be opened and the victorious class will return to the court today, I have an imperial decree to announce!"
The chief eunuch immediately raised the imperial decree that had been drawn up with both hands, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Son of Prince Yu, grand general Qi Chen listens to the seal!"
"The grandson is here."
Qi Chen changed his title and did not call himself the last general, which means that he is very clear about what this imperial decree is about. In fact, he came back not long after the good news came, and he has been with the emperor for the past few days, knowing every decision the emperor made.
"Fengtian Chengyun emperor, the imperial edict said: The emperor will inherit the heaven and set up the pole, caress the Huan area, and there will be no one who does not establish the Yuan Chu, the Maolong country, and the rest of the Mianzong society without boundaries. Today, in the 23rd year of Dabao, he is awarded the honorary king. The eldest son, Qi Chen, is treasured by the book. He is established as the grandson of the emperor, and he is in the East Palace, to honor the rule of ten thousand years, and to tie the hearts of the world. I admire this."
Everyone was stunned.
Only Qi Chen thanked him: "Grandson accepts the order to thank you." He got up and accepted the imperial order.
All the ministers had the same idea. For the position of the crown prince, all the princes fought to the death and blood. They tried their best to pull the brothers back. In the end... they were cut off by a young man who had just been weak? !
Who vomits the most? Qing Huan witnessed with his own eyes that Yu Wang's expression changed from excitement to shock, disbelief... and finally turned to gloom, but the gloom only flashed by. At the same time, he had to show an expression of being happy for his son. Since ancient times, how can there be any reason why the son is still the grandson as the crown prince? The emperor slapped him in the face so clearly!
But so what? Qi Chen has made great achievements in Wentao and Wushu, and now the military power is in his hands, so what if King Yu refuses to accept it? He has been thinking about the dragon chair for decades, and even broke up with the woman he loves because of it. He wronged himself so much, but lost to his son in the end! For a moment, Yu Wang didn't even know whether to laugh or cry.
Qing Huan was purely happy, and Qi Chen also missed her in his heart, but it was just because the environment was not good enough to be around her. Soon, she accidentally soiled her clothes and went to the side hall to change, and saw Qi Chen standing in the hall waiting. Qing Huan was delighted from the bottom of her heart, and said jokingly, "What kind of wind brought the grandson of the emperor to this side hall?"
"Mom!" Qi Chen chuckled. "You'll make fun of me."
"It's not a joke, I'm really happy. Have you seen your father's face? Tsk tsk, it's colorful and wonderful. You have to be careful with him."
"Be careful of your father?" Although Qi Chen has no feelings for King Yu, he still respects him as his father in his heart. "In any case, I am the son of my father, and even if he is annoyed that I am the crown prince, he won't do anything to me, right?"
"That's hard to say. He's obsessed with this position. Over the past ten years, he has paid so much, but he was intercepted by you overnight. Can he not go crazy? Don't underestimate his attachment to that position. "
Qi Chen was a little disappointed: "I see, mother."
"I have never prevented him from getting close to you in these years, but you can tell how he treats you. In his heart, Qi Yu is much more important than you. You should be smarter and be more careful with him."
"Mother, why does your tone seem to be telling me something? Won't you always be by my side? You still want to be the queen mother!" Qi Chen was unhappy. "And I haven't found a daughter-in-law yet, and I haven't seen that my daughter-in-law didn't hold her grandson, so don't talk like that."
Qing Huan smiled: "Okay, remember to be a good emperor."
"Don't worry, mother."
Now that he has been crowned the emperor's great-grandson, Qi Chen will not return to Prince Yu's Mansion again. The East Palace has already been tidied up, and he has been living in it for the past few days, but the emperor has kept it a tight cover so no one knows about it. Now that he is the legitimate next emperor, he is naturally qualified to live in it.
In fact, it is more comfortable than luxurious. The East Palace is far inferior to the luxurious palaces of the princes, but the symbolic meaning of the East Palace is incomparable to the palace. Now the youngest of the princes are all in their thirties, they have fought for this seat for so many years, but in the end Qi Chen was given an advantage, so they probably won't be too happy when they return to the mansion.
The other prince Qing Huan didn't know about it, but Yu Wang was really unhappy. His face was so ugly that he didn't even hide it, he was speechless all the way, until Qing Huan was about to return to his yard, he asked: "Did you know that this day would come?"
"My lord was joking. I'm just a girl from a poor family. To become a princess, I have to thank my lord for giving me this honor." Qing Huan smiled suddenly. "I also have to thank the lord for giving birth to a promising son. From now on, my glory will be given by Chen'er. When the lord betrayed me back then, he probably didn't expect this to happen?"
Qing Huan felt that these princes were stupid. They kept making small moves below, really thinking that the emperor didn't know anything when he was old and in poor health? What are they tossing about, the emperor knows in his heart! The more frequent the petty actions and the bigger the heart, the more the emperor feared them. What's more, in terms of level and ability, none of them can compare to Qi Chen who has just grown up.
The tree attracts the wind, the emperor put all his treasures on Qi Chen.
"you-"
"What's wrong with the prince?" Qing Huan asked with great concern, "Why don't you go to Concubine Wan's yard to discuss the countermeasures, the Wan family is still the prince's family, so I think I can come up with something, so I won't be here with the prince. Enough talking, excuse me."
Back then, King Yu wanted to accept Wan Shi as his side concubine, in order to gain the support of the Wan family, and the ultimate goal was that seat. He persisted for so many years, but the result was nothing. How could Yu Wang accept this! If the ending is like this, then he broke with Su Qinshui back then, which broke Su Qinshui's heart. For more than ten years, there was no warmth between the two of them, only tit for tat, so why bother
After so many years of hard work and hard work, he finally became the property of his own son. How could the ever-confident King Yu bear this kind of feeling! He has always thought that he is the emperor's most beloved and valued son. Before, he was even happy because Qi Chen was loved by the empress. He thought it was a big bargaining chip for him. But after suffering such a dull loss, he fell from the most promising candidate to become the crown prince. This kind of irritable depression can't be described in words, it's good if he doesn't go crazy!
Yu Wang exhausted his last strength to maintain a superficial calm, but when he returned to his room, he became furious and nearly demolished the room.
It's a pity, no matter how much you hate, it's useless. Facing Qi Chen, who holds the military power and has made great achievements, he has no chance of winning at all.
