Therefore, the emperor cannot issue an order immediately until this set of procedures is completed. Now, he can finally do it.
On the fifth day of May, which was the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor finally made this decree.
'... Make Qi Yan, the sixth son of the emperor, the crown prince and take charge of the East Palace immediately... '
No one listened to those kind words before and after. All they need to hear is a six.
In an instant, there was the sound of the ministers shouting for long live the mountain.
Of course, there is another sentence at the end: His Royal Highness is a thousand years old.
In Taiji Palace, many princes participated in the morning court for the first time. There are different expressions on their faces.
In fact, as early as today, you should know that today is the day to decide your fate.
Although anyone can say whether the prince can become emperor or not is still unknown, but the prince is a serious prince and is recognized by the whole world.
Their kneeling down means that if they want to raise their heads again, they have to work a hundred times a thousand times.
The fourth prince's fists were tightly clenched in his sleeves. He really didn't understand. Is he bad
His father clearly loved him, so why didn't he think of calling him the prince
He is obviously older than Lao Liu. Ranked in front of Lao Liu!
The fifth prince was also a little reluctant, but he could only accept it.
The Ninth Prince lowered his head gloomily. He had known for a long time that he had no chance of becoming the crown prince, but he really hated it. Why was he the sixth prince
The third prince felt relaxed for a while, that's good, just settled down, no need to stare like a black-eyed chicken.
As for the second prince, he was a little dazed, a little relieved, and a little unwilling and sad.
Probably, the only one who was truly happy for the Sixth Prince was the silly Eighth Prince. His teeth were exposed when he smiled.
Qi Yan is not surprised by what happened today. This is what he should have.
He has been feeling sensitive since last year.
Now it was just confirmed, he was in a good mood. Not only because being the prince makes him feel good, he also thinks about more.
He knew that he and all the princes and princesses did not share the same mother, and no child did not want his parents to favor him.
Of course, his mother will only love him.
But he also hopes that his father will be equally partial to him.
Now, he understands that his father is like this. It favored him.
So he felt happy. This happiness was not simply the happiness of being a prince, but the happiness of my father who gave me the best because he loved me.
So Qi Yan smiled when he knelt down, the kind of smile he used to look at the emperor: "My son, I thank my father. Long live my father! Long live my father!"
This is just a decree, and the canonization ceremony has not been officially held yet. He couldn't say much.
"Get up, you will be the prince in the future. You should think more, watch and learn more about everything." Qi Yixiu also said with a smile. He was strange, as if he could understand Qi Yan's thoughts...
Maybe he understood, maybe he just felt it, but he felt happy anyway.
"Yes, Father." The newly minted prince stood up with a smile. He kept laughing, even without restraint. According to common sense, he should be frightened or moved, but he couldn't laugh.
But he doesn't want to control at all, he wants to truly face the change of identity.
Qi Yixiu looked at his face that was similar to his own, with a happy smile, and sighed in his heart, saying nothing.
All the ministers were relieved. At first, some people were worried that they were on the wrong side, but most people were happy.
The Shen family also breathed a sigh of relief, and then became happy. Finally, finally.
The Pei family was calmer, as they seemed to have expected it.
In the harem, the news had spread throughout the harem, and Shen Chuliu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to the Queen Mother's palace to change clothes." Shen Chuliu said.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. The emperor had to go to court early in the morning just for this matter, and they still had to go to the Queen Mother to celebrate the festival.
I don't know how others got the news, but Shen Chuliu was very calm because he had known about it for a long time.
So, after a while, the emperor issued another decree to officially record the eighth prince in the name of the queen. Many people in the harem were shocked.
Shen Chuliu raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the emperor has been waiting for this day for a long time."
Without establishing a crown prince, naturally the eighth prince cannot be asked to adopt the throne to the queen.
That means that if the queen has a legitimate son, there will always be some explanation for the concubine.
In fact, in recent years, it is not without ministers suggesting that the Queen adopt a son.
And today, by sending this decree before the sixth prince became the prince, he paid more attention to the eighth prince's wishes.
And the queen can be regarded as having a son.
The entire court knew that the Eighth Prince was suffering from a stubborn illness.
The queen was also surprised, but she didn't have any objection.
She didn't despise the Eighth Prince for being stupid. It was impossible to say how close he could be to him.
But just take more care of her. She used to be called Queen Mother, but she will still be called Queen Mother in the future.
A hundred years later, she would be able to ask the eighth prince and the second princess to take care of each other, which would be better than nothing.
So in Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother smiled and talked about this, and everyone looked happy.
Not long after, the emperor arrived with the prince, princes and relatives.
In the past, I paid my respects to the emperor, but now I have to pay my respects to the prince.
Qi Yan also kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother exclaimed and smiled: "Yan'er is the Crown Prince. In the future, you must study hard and learn how to govern. The teachers your father has found for you are all good. You are still young, so you must study hard."
"Yes, my grandson will remember his grandmother's teachings." Qi Yan said with a smile.
"The canonization ceremony has not yet been decided. Tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the East Palace to have a look. I am not in a hurry to move in. Everything must be arranged." The queen said.
"Thank you very much for your troubles, Queen Mother."
"Don't worry, they are still young. Although they have established a crown prince now, it is not time to go to court. In two years, they will go to court. If Yan'er doesn't want to move in the past two years, , just stay in his Ruiqing Palace as usual." Qi Yi cultivated.
"You can live at both ends," the Queen Mother said.
"Yes, when I am busy with studies, I live in Ruiqing Palace, which is close to Hongwen Palace." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Everyone sat down. Many people couldn't adapt for a while, so they were too kind to Shen Chuliu and Qi Yan.
The emperor simply didn't care, which is normal.
Thinking back when he and his mother were concubines and unpopular princes, how did others treat them
But once King Hua dies and he becomes the crown prince, what will happen to those people
It's okay now. After all, Shen Chuliu has always been powerful and has never been disappointed. Others have always dared not mess with her.
Now it's just more lively.
Thinking of the past, the arrogant and respectful encounters between him and his mother made him sick.
Qi Yixiu looked at Qi Yan casually and saw that the child was the same as before, without any airs.
He didn't even change his self-identification. Thinking of this, Qi Yixiu smiled.
Silly boy, take your time.
