Early the next morning, Huangfu Cang's imperial edict arrived at the East Palace where Duanmuxue and others lived, the palace where Huangfu Che originally lived.
"By God's blessing, the Emperor Zhao said that today, the five sons have a daughter, named Xi, who is my granddaughter. Seeing her beauty and dignity, her good words and deeds, her beauty, lightness, and graceful grace, she is very popular with me. She is specially named Qinglian. The princess is given the title of Holy Lord, given the surname Huangfu, and the courtesy name Mingyue, and is included in the family tree. An ancestor recognition ceremony will be held three days later. I admire this."
After Wang Gonggong finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at the four people who were all standing motionless, and secretly twitched the corner of his mouth. What's going on? Why doesn't anyone take the order? If it had been anyone else, they would have happily thanked the emperor for his favor. But the rest of them were not only unhappy, but also had sad faces.
Sighing helplessly, the prince respectfully stepped forward and said to Duan Muxi, "Please ask the Holy Princess Qinglian to accept the order."
Duanmuxi glanced at Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che with a frown, wondering whether he should accept this imperial edict.
Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che also looked embarrassed, and neither of them spoke after looking at each other.
If you can make a princess, you can make a princess, and it is barely acceptable to recognize the ancestor. But giving the surname Huangfu is not enough. Xi'er will inherit the throne in the future, so how can the empress of the Suzaku Kingdom be named Huangfu.
It was impossible for Xi'er to change her surname to Huangfu. Her father's imperial edict was really embarrassing. Suddenly Huangfu Che regretted why he didn't have two more children with Xue'er.
The prince and his father-in-law didn't say anything when they saw them, and they didn't accept the orders. He had no choice but to offend these four people. Especially the Holy Princess Qinglian in front of her. Shengzun is the highest title of the Princess of Qinglong Kingdom. Even the emperor's sister, Princess Shumin, was only given the title of Xiaolun, which shows how much the emperor liked Princess Qinglian.
After a period of silence, Duan Muxi suddenly said, "Did Grandpa Huang say anything else?"
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty also invites Princess Qinglian to have a meal at Longxiang Palace."
After speaking, Eunuch Wang glanced at the other three people beside Duanmu Xi and immediately added: "Of course, if the Queen, the Fifth Prince, and Young Master Xuanyuan are willing, they can also have dinner together at Longxiang Palace."
Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che unconsciously twitched their lips when they heard this. They were treating them completely as accessories.
Xuanyuan Mo also rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this. What did the old emperor want to do? He just asked Xi'er to come back last night, and now he wants to call her. Is he done with it
"Well... cough..." Duanmuxi coughed awkwardly, "Then let's go have a meal first!"
When the prince heard this, he immediately said happily: "What about this imperial edict?"
Duan Muxi glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict, waved his sleeves, and put the crystal ball directly into it. Anyway, let’s take it down first.
Staring at his empty hands, the prince blinked in surprise. It's amazing that the imperial edict disappeared.
Duanmuxi turned to look at Huangfu Che and Duanmuxue, "Father, mother, do you want to come too?"
"Well..." Huangfu Che clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his lips, "I haven't had breakfast with your grandpa in more than ten years, so of course I have to go."
Duanmuxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, which was a good reason, and looked at Duanmuxue again.
Duanmuxue also had good reasons, "If you all leave, leaving me alone, what appetite do I have?"
Finally, Eunuch Wang took the four of them to Longxiang Palace.
"Grandpa." As soon as Duanmuxi entered Longxiang Palace, she saw Huangfu Cang sitting at the table waiting for her.
"Xi'er is here, come and have a meal together." Huangfucang smiled happily when he saw Duanmu Xi. He waved to Duanmu Xi lovingly.
Duanmu Xilian moved lightly and slowly walked to the table and sat down.
Huangfu Cang immediately picked up a cup of top-quality bird's nest and placed it in front of Duanmuxi, as well as various pastries and side dishes.
During the whole process, Huangfu Cang didn't even look at Huangfu Che and the others, and regarded the three living people behind Duan Muxi as nothing.
Huangfu Che twitched the corner of his mouth and called helplessly, "Father."
Hearing the sound, Huangfu Cang raised his head and looked at Huangfu Che and the others, as if he had just seen them, "You are here too, come and have a meal together!"
Upon hearing Huangfu Cang's invitation, the three of them walked directly to the table and sat down without being polite.
When the palace attendants saw this, they immediately added three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
The three of them picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and when they looked at the table again, they were all dumbfounded.
Huangfucang saw that all the things on the table that were originally full were moved in front of Duanmuxi. There was a hill in front of Duanmuxi, but there was nothing in front of the three of them.
... The three of them looked at the heartwarming scene across from them, each holding a piece of food, in silence for a while.
After Duanmuxi was full, Huangfu Cang asked the palace attendants to clear the table.
The three of them watched helplessly as the plates of delicious pastries and exquisite side dishes were removed. He stroked his hungry belly and thought to himself, they haven't eaten a bite yet.
After breakfast, the palace servants brought several cups of hot tea. Huangfu Che and the others picked up the teacups and took a sip.
Duan Muxi was amused by the three of them, but she suppressed her laughter and said to Huangfu Cang calmly, "Grandpa, Xi'er cannot accept the imperial edict this morning."
As Duan Muxi spoke, a bright yellow imperial edict appeared in his hand with a thought.
Huangfu Cang looked at the imperial edict handed to him, frowned and asked, "Why don't you accept it?"
Sensing Huangfu Cang's displeasure, Duanmuxi thought about it and said, "I am my father's daughter, and my father is just a prince. How can I be a princess?"
Huangfu Cang's black eyes flashed when he heard this, and his voice was a little excited: "He is the future emperor of the Qinglong Kingdom, how can his daughter not be a princess? Besides, you are a bloodline of my Huangfu family, let alone a princess. I am passing on the throne to you, so what can others say?"
After Huangfu Cang finished speaking, he pointed the finger at Huangfu Che again: "It's okay if you don't want to be the prince yourself. If you don't let Xi'er become the princess now, do you have to make me angry to death before you will accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Che and Duanmuxue lowered their heads with guilty conscience, unable to say any words to refute.
When Duanmuxi saw this, he immediately stood up, gently stroked Huangfu Cang's back and said comfortingly: "Grandpa, don't be angry, Xi'er can just be a princess. It's just that Xi'er has a small request that I hope grandpa can agree to."
"Say." Huangfu Cang still glared at Huangfu Che angrily.
"Xi'er can be Princess Qinglian, or she can enter the family tree with the name Huangfu Mingyue, and she can accept her master and return to the clan. I just hope that grandpa will not announce my name change to the outside world. I am usually called Duanmu Xi, so of course I am Zhuque. The country is also called Duanmu Xi. When I was in the Qinglong Kingdom, grandpa could call me Mingyue if he wanted."
A flash of satisfaction flashed in Duanmuxue's purple eyes with her head lowered. Xi'er came up with a good way to get the best of both worlds, which could satisfy Che's father without having any impact on the Suzaku Kingdom.
When Huangfu Cang heard this, he frowned and stared, "You don't like the surname Huangfu."
Duanmu Xi immediately shook his head and denied, "No, my father and grandfather are both named Huangfu. How could Xi'er not like it?"
Huangfu Cang relaxed his brows slightly and said, "Then why don't you let me announce it to the public?"
"Xi'er has been called Duanmu Xi since she was a child, and she has become accustomed to it. If grandpa announces that Xi'er has changed his name, Xi'er will definitely not be used to it. For example, grandpa, your surname has been Huangfu since you were a child. If you were asked to change your surname to Duanmu all of a sudden, you would Are you not used to it?" Duanmuxi looked at Huangfu Cang's face and explained, "As long as Xi'er's surname is Huangfu in the family tree, it doesn't matter what she calls her."
Huangfu Cang nodded when he heard this, but said nothing.
Duanmu Xi saw that Huangfu Cang was about to relent, so he kept saying: "Grandpa, don't worry, Xi'er's surname is Huangfu. From now on, when Xi'er gives birth to a boy, Xi'er will give him the surname Huangfu."
Huangfu Cang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really."
"Of course." Duanmuxi nodded seriously. She never told lies.
Duanmuxue was unhappy when she heard this, but it was hard for her to get angry in Huangfu Cang's presence, so she just kept saying "Hmm... Hmm..."
Duanmu Xi glanced at Duanmuxue, who kept pretending to cough, and said, "Of course, the girl Xi'er gives birth to will still be named Duanmu."
This sentence made Duanmuxue stop coughing instantly. It would be better for the female doll to be named Duanmu. Although she wanted to give the male doll the same surname, but looking at the current situation, this was considered a good idea. Moreover, she was unable to give birth to a child named Huangfu for Che. It would be good for Xi'er to give birth to a boy with Che's surname in the future. Thinking of this, Duanmuxue felt relieved.
Duanmuxue and Huangfucang were both happy, but Xuanyuan Mo's father was unhappy. Give birth to a boy named Huangfu, and give birth to a girl named Duanmu. Why is there no one named Xuanyuan? What's the deal with co-authoring a father like him
Duan Muxi turned a blind eye to Xuanyuan Mo's extremely sad eyes, and even if he noticed it, he simply ignored it.
Huangfu Cang glanced at everyone and finally said, "In this case, let's do as Xi'er said! But Xi'er must not forget the promise she made to grandpa today."
He was happy that Xi'er's future children could be named Huangfu, which made up for the regret that Che'er's children could not be named Huangfu since childhood.
"How could it be? Xi'er will be the king of a country in the future. Jun Wu is joking. Grandpa, don't worry!" When Duan Muxi said Jun Wu was joking, the aura of king that burst out from his body made everyone present stunned. God.
Something flashed quickly in Huangfu Cang's black eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
In another palace of the Qinglong Kingdom Palace.
Concubine Qin looked at Concubine Liu angrily, "Are you telling the truth?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Concubine Liu's eyes, and then a sincere smile appeared on her no longer young face, "Sister, when did my sister lie to you? The imperial edict arrived at the East Palace early in the morning, and not only sealed the girl as Princess, she was also given the title of Holy Lord."
When Concubine Qin heard this, she raised her voice and said, "Holy Lord..."
Concubine Liu glanced at Concubine Qin who was extremely angry, and added fuel to the fire: "Yes, the Holy Princess Qinglian. Even our Jing'er only has a title, not a title. Sister, why do you think she is right? It stands to reason. The most she can do is become a princess."
"Hmph... Why, isn't it just because she looks like that woman?"
Speaking of that woman, Concubine Qin had a look of resentment, while Concubine Liu also had a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
Without that woman, how could they be where they are today.
