The return of King Hui caused an uproar in the court.
Most of the courtiers expressed warm welcome to this surprise.
After all, King Hui is the nominal eldest son of Emperor Jinghe!
In this era when the selection of the crown prince is based on the criteria of eldest son, heir apparent and virtuous son, not to mention that there is only one male heir left in the royal family. Even the sons of Emperor Jinghe are still alive. There is no longer any posthumous edict, no prince who is the direct descendant of the middle palace, In the absence of a well-known prince, the de facto eldest son is, in principle, the first heir considered by the courtiers.
Therefore, the position of crown prince was transferred to King Hui. In the eyes of court officials, it was well deserved.
Without any special explanation, Princess Yuanning resigned from her position as acting crown prince.
Looking at the angry back of her cousin who said, "You are unwilling to fight for a chance and give up your reserve without waiting for others to ask, it is simply stupid!" Princess Yuanning felt a little disappointed.
However, after the disappointment, for her, she was more relieved.
Those memorials with all kinds of strange words and those unconventional but unbridled opinions often made her dizzy.
How many times had she thought about giving up on the lessons left by her tutor, but if it hadn't been for the imperial grandmother's advice, she wouldn't have been able to hold on now.
The tutor and gentlemen often praised her for her progress, but even the progress could not bring her any excitement or relaxation.
After discovering this problem, she realized: this supreme position in the world is just a burden to her.
Only by unloading her burden can she regain her happiness.
Now, she is very happy.
…
The first thing King Hui did after being confirmed as the crown prince was to wait for the Qintian Supervisor to report the appropriate time for the enthronement ceremony.
Unlike Princess Yuanning, although Prince Hui was the crown prince, he had helped Emperor Jinghe supervise the country earlier, so he didn't need to learn it all over again.
After deliberation, the cabinet ministers also decided to divide the administration of government affairs with the cabinet ministers according to the model that King Hui once used to supervise the country.
For a moment, the whole court was as calm as when Emperor Jinghe was there.
…
"Sheng Wenzhen!"
Sheng Yuan, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, was about to enter the palace, but was stopped outside the imperial city.
I quickly looked up and saw, hey! It’s Princess Yongping again.
Sheng Yuan rolled her eyes in her heart, but bowed politely on her face.
"Hmph! You already knew about King Hui's safe return, right?" Princess Yongping looked at her with a smile but not a smile, with scrutiny in her eyes.
Sheng Yuan frowned and was about to speak when Princess Yongping interrupted her.
"I originally thought that you, Sheng Wenzhen, the sixth-level female champion, was so dedicated to being a girl in the world! But I didn't expect it to be more than that! At the critical moment, isn't it about blood relations and interests?!
Also, King Hui is your biological brother-in-law. It is understandable that you choose him just for your sister, for the advantage of being near the water, for the first-come-first-served advantage, and for the benefit of the family and yourself! "
Facing the ridicule, Sheng Yuan looked at Princess Yongping and suddenly asked: "The princess is the same as the county prince. You are a noble person of the highest rank, but you stopped me, a fourth-rank official, in the street. Isn't it a bit low-priced and low-status?"
Princess Yongping, who was ready to increase her firepower and sarcastically said: "..."
"If the princess is looking for leisurely fun, you can play with Princess Yuanning. You are of the same rank and have the same spirit, so you can just relax with Princess Yuanning."
"you!"
Sheng Yuan's soft yet hard words made Princess Yongping's complexion change slightly, and she was about to explode.
Just at this moment, Sheng Yuan added another sentence: "Of course, if the princess has nothing to do and does not underestimate the inferior official's humble status, then the inferior official really has a question."
She looked at Princess Yongping with a warm smile and said, "Before I came to the official position, I heard that the General Affairs Office often received notices about women's imperial examinations recently..."
