Chapter 262 The Nineteenth Bowl of Soup (Twelve)
"Zi Tong said," the emperor nodded. "It seems quite stylish."
King Yu has always been 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. He enjoyed everyone's stunning gazes, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes when he stared at Qinghuan.
His love is based on interests.
Qinghuan's skirt did not move, her beads and hairpins did not shake, and her every move was full of style, and even her smile was just right. It can be said that among so many princesses, she was the most conspicuous. She was obviously wearing palace clothes and the same grade, but she was dazzling than others.
It is said that Princess Yu has been staying in her door for more than ten years and is so jealous, but it doesn't seem like that.
The palace banquet gradually came to an end, and the emperor suddenly smiled and said, "In addition to the New Year's Eve, there is another thing today. I want to celebrate with you all."
After he finished speaking, many people below looked at each other. Now, what else can you celebrate with internal and external troubles besides the holiday? But if you look closely, the emperor is indeed very happy today, and his face is also a little better. Could it be that there is really a huge happy event?
The emperor looked at the confused reaction of the ministers in the palace with satisfaction, and was very happy. No one knew about this except him and a few confidants. It happened to be the festival. He had to endure it for several days before swallowing the news until today. "In recent years, I have been worried about the enemy's invasions. Huang Rui lost ten consecutive battles, causing ten cities to fall into the hands of the enemy's country. Prince Yu was ordered to go to the frontier as a weak crown. It has been more than half a year since the victory came from the frontier a few days ago. The fallen cities were recovered. Not only that, he also took down the head coach of the enemy's country and took the victory to pursue the enemy's monarch ceded the land and offered a letter of peace! You said, should I be happy?!"
Of course, I should be happy! All the ministers suddenly had the ambition to bow to the ground: "Long live my emperor--"
Qinghuan thought to himself, what does this have to do with you, the old emperor?
At this moment, the eunuch sang loudly: "God of General Yangwei outside the palace-"
A young hero wearing silver and white armor strode from outside the hall with the sharpness and murderous aura unique to the battlefield, and bowed heavily to the emperor: "The last general pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor."
The emperor smiled so hard that he could see his teeth and disappeared: "Good boy, get up, come over and let the emperor's grandfather take a look."
The whole palace is full of people, and he actually wants to stage a deep love between grandparents and grandchildren in front of everyone. Fortunately, although the emperor was very suspicious of him at the beginning, he has truly loved and valued him in recent years, so Qi Chen is also willing to cooperate. Compared with half a year ago, he has grown taller and stronger, and his eyebrows are faintly faded. War can make a person grow up the best. At this moment, he is not as good as the half-grown boy half a year ago, as if the sword and Fengshuang have made him grow into a real man.
The emperor said a few more words to Qi Chen, and the queen pulled Qi Chen to her side to ask about her well-being. Qinghuan inadvertently glanced at King Yu. The guy's eyes were shiny and flushed, and his expression was as if the boy who was constantly praised by the emperor and the empress were not his son but him.
I thought that with Qi Chen here, his identity as a crown prince was sure to win, right?
Soon, the emperor said loudly: "In addition to the fact that Prince Yu opened his victorious army to return to the court today, I also have the imperial edict to be announced!"
The eunuch in charge immediately raised his long-prepared imperial edict with both hands and shouted in a sharp voice: "Crown Prince Yu, General Yangwei Qi Chen listened to the title!"
"The grandson is here."
Qi Chen changed his name and did not call himself the last general, which means he knew exactly what the imperial edict was written. In fact, he came back shortly after the news came. He had been with the emperor these days, and he knew every decision the emperor made.
"The emperor who followed the heavens and inherited the emperor, and ordered the emperor to establish the ultimate power and pacify the world. No one did not establish the Yuan Crown, Maolong's foundation, and the unlimited rest of the Mianzong community. Now in the 23rd year of Dabao, the crown prince Qi Chen was awarded the title of Prince Qi Chen to book the treasure. He was appointed as the crown prince of the emperor and the chief throne of the Eastern Palace, and to attach the ten thousand years of rule to the heart of the four seas. I respect this."
Everyone was stunned.
Only Qi Chen thanked him: "The grandson received the order and thanked him." He stood up and received the order.
All the ministers had the same idea. For the sake of the position of crown prince, the princes fought to the death, and they tried their best to pull their brothers back. In the end... they were intercepted by a young man who had just won the crown?!
Who is the most nauseating? Qinghuan witnessed the expression of King Yu's expression from excitement to shock, and he couldn't believe it... and finally turned into gloomy, but the gloomy color just flashed by. In public, he couldn't say anything even if he was angry, and he had to show an expression of happiness for his son. Since ancient times, how could he have a son still beside him but he was crowned the grandson as the crown prince? The emperor slapped him in the face brightly!
But so what? Qi Chen has made great contributions in his literature and martial arts, and now his military power is in his hands. What if King Yu is not convinced? He has been thinking about the dragon throne for decades, and even broke off his kindness with his beloved woman for this. He was so aggrieved by himself, but he finally lost to his son! For a moment, King Yu didn't even know whether to laugh or cry.
Qinghuan was purely happy. Qi Chen was also worried about her, but because the environment was not good, she was just around her. Soon, she accidentally dirtyed her clothes and went to the side hall to change, and then saw Qi Chen standing in the hall waiting. Qinghuan was happy from her heart and joked: "What kind of wind blows the crown prince into this side hall?"
"Mom!" Qi Chen smiled. "You will joke with me."
"This is not a joke, it's a sincere pleasure. Did you see your father's face? Tsk tsk, colorful and extremely wonderful. You should be careful of him."
"Be careful of your father?" Although Qi Chen had no feelings for King Yu, he respected him as his father. "No matter what, I am the son of my father. Even if he annoyed me as the crown prince, he would not do anything to me, right?"
"It's hard to say that he's been hampered by this position. Over the past ten years, he has paid so much, but he was intercepted by you overnight. How can he not go crazy? Don't underestimate his persistence in that position."
Qi Chen was a little disappointed: "I understand, mom."
"I have never stopped him from getting close to you over the years, but you can see how he treats you. In his heart, Qi Yu is much more important than you. You are smarter and be careful with him."
"Mom, why do you seem to be telling me something about this tone? Aren't you always by my side? You still want to be the queen mother!" Qi Chen was unhappy. "And I haven't found my wife yet, and I haven't seen her daughter-in-law holding her grandson. Don't say this."
Qinghuan smiled: "Okay, remember to be a good emperor."
"Don't worry, mom."
Since he has been granted the title of the crown prince, Qi Chen will not return to Prince Yu's mansion. The Eastern Palace has been cleaned up long ago. He has lived in it in the past few days, but the emperor has hidden it so no one knows it. Now he is the next emperor who is legitimate, so he is naturally qualified to live in it.
In fact, it is more comfortable than luxury. The East Palace is far less than the luxurious palace of all the princes, but the symbolic meaning of the palace is incomparable to the palace. Now the youngest princes are in their thirties. After fighting for this position for so many years, they finally got a discount on Qi Chen. I guess they will not be too happy after returning to the mansion.
The other prince Qinghuan didn't know, but King Yu was really unhappy. His face was so ugly that he didn't even hide it. He was speechless all the way. It was not until Qinghuan wanted to return to his yard that he asked, "Did you know this day long ago?"
"The prince is joking. I am just a poor woman. I have to thank the prince for giving me this glory if I can become a princess." Qinghuan suddenly laughed. "I have to thank the prince for giving me a promising son with me. In the future, my glory will be given to Chen'er. When the prince gave me back then, I probably didn't expect that there would be today, right?"
Qinghuan felt that these princes were stupid. They kept making small moves below, and they really thought that the emperor was old and physically poor and they didn't know anything. What they were trying to do was, and the emperor knew in his heart! The more frequent the small moves, the bigger the heart, the more afraid the emperor was. What's more, in terms of level and ability, none of them were as good as Qi Chen, who had just become an adult.
The big tree attracts wind, and the emperor is pressing the treasure on Qi Chen.
"you--"
"What's wrong with the prince?" Qinghuan asked with great concern, "Why don't the prince go to Concubine Wan's yard to discuss countermeasures? The Wan family is still the prince's member. I guess I can come up with some solutions. I won't talk to the prince here and take the leave."
When King Yu was determined to take Wan as his concubine, in order to get the support of the Wan family, the ultimate goal was that position. He persisted for so many years, but the result was a waste. How could King Yu accept this? If the ending was like this, then the breakup with Su Qinshui back then broke Su Qinshui. For more than ten years, there was no warmth between the two, and only tit-for-tat, why bother?
After working hard for so many years, he finally became the treasure of his son. How could King Yu, who is the most beloved and valued by Xiang Zhixin? He always thought that he was the emperor's favorite and most valued son. He was even happy before that because Qi Chen was loved by the emperor and the empress. He thought that it was his big bargaining chip, so he was not only unprepared, but was proud, but in the end he suffered such a loss and fell from the candidate who had the most hope of becoming the crown prince. How could this kind of erratic depression be described in words? It would be better not to be crazy!
King Yu tried his best to maintain the calmness of the surface. After returning to his room, he was furious and almost demolished the house.
