In spring and April, Xiling is full of life.
The Imperial City is particularly lively this spring, and you can see smiling people everywhere.
Even the roadside vendors are particularly enthusiastic when treating customers, "I'm so happy today! Everything on the stall is discounted at 10%! Come and take a look if you pass by!"
"What a great joy indeed! Our Prince of Xiling is back! Today he will be crowned and given the seal!"
"I heard that the civil and military officials in the whole court were in great joy! I even saw Mr. Xia Ge's carriage entering the palace today!"
"Drink! Mr. Xia Ge hasn't gone to court for many years! Are you going today?"
"He's gone! Not only Mr. Xia Ge, but General Shi also went to court! Wearing the royal robe, he said he wanted to see the prince being sealed with his own eyes!"
"Come on, everyone wants to wait for the first-hand news, right? Come to my Huayue Tea House to drink tea and wait! Today's tea and snacks in the building are 20% off! Let me, Huayue Tea House, congratulate the prince!"
"You still want to get first-hand information from your old shabby little teahouse? You can throw it away! Come to my Fulai Teahouse! Tea and snacks are 25% off!"
"..." Picking up people's teeth and wisdom to steal business! Villain!
It was lively outside the palace, and even more lively inside the palace.
Many humerus veterans who are so old that they have to use crutches, despite their old age and difficulty in walking, insist on coming to see this ceremony and the only male of their Xiling royal family.
The prince's sealing ceremony was extremely solemn.
In the Jinluan Hall, all civil and military personnel from the court were present, standing upright.
The prince was dressed in an apricot-yellow python robe. After hearing the announcement, he walked from the outside of the palace. He looked like orchids in the jade mountain, and his beauty was unique.
The Queen was sitting on the dragon chair above, looking at the people walking towards her step by step, her eyes were red and watery.
She stood up and walked down the steps, greeted him personally, put on the prince's crown and granted him the seal of the East Palace.
This is her child.
It took twenty-eight years for him to finally be able to stand upright and brightly in front of her in the Xiling Hall.
The eldest princess and the second princess stood on one side in formal palace clothes. The two sisters watched this scene quietly with tears in their eyes, filled with emotion.
The two rows of courtiers below also wiped away tears.
"Okay, okay! I, Xiling, finally have a daughter!"
"As expected of me, the Prince of Xiling, I am full of momentum in every move I take! Even if I am raised outside, I am well-raised!"
"Hmph, we are a huge country in Xiling. I, the Prince of Xiling, should be so powerful and arrogant! If anyone is dissatisfied, come to me, Shi Jing!"
"Hahahaha, God bless me, Xiling!"
For so many years, they, a group of veterans, had watched the royal heirs die one after another, and their heartache was no less heartbreaking than that of the queen and the two princesses.
In the following decades, the royal family had nothing to do. How could they not be discouraged?
Although Xiling is powerful and prosperous, the Xiling royal family is declining step by step. As if on a countdown, their enthusiasm for governing the country is also waning.
It is also because the Queen has been locked up in the country for many years, and there is no objection from the DPRK.
What is there to fight for, what is there to fight for?
The ending can be seen at a glance.
It is better to lock down the country and let the people live a more stable life before the Xiling Mountain collapses.
But I didn't expect that such a big surprise would come out of nowhere!
God bless Xiling!
…
By the time the process was over, it was almost noon.
When the courtiers left the hall, their excitement and enthusiasm could not subside, and they had heated discussions among themselves.
"When the prince returns to the court, Xiling has a bright future! However, the prince is eighty-eight years old this year. Isn't it time to bring up the matter of the princess?"
"This makes sense! The prince will get married as soon as possible and spread the branches and leaves of my Xiling as soon as possible! Let's see who else dares to laugh at me that Xiling is a stagnant water!"
"Everyone, we can draw up the portrait when we get back! There are many noble ladies from various aristocratic families of the right age. We will present the portraits together so that the emperor and the prince can choose from them!"
The more we discuss it, the more it seems like it is the case. It is as if today we are going to hand over a portrait, and the prince will get married tomorrow and have a son the day after, which will immediately increase the number of incense in the Xiling royal family.
The eldest princess and the second princess walked slowly behind the courtiers, holding hands with each other. The corners of their mouths twitched when they heard their excitement and admiration.
The second princess raised her red lips, took a few steps forward and patted the back of the hand of Mr. Xia Ge, who was most concerned about it, "Mr. , you must not disturb the prince's business by drawing up or presenting portraits, because with his temperament, he can take off the prince's robe and leave immediately."
"Second Princess, what do you mean by this? Can you please explain it more clearly, so as to prevent me from doing bad things with good intentions?"
"The prince has someone in his heart, and they will get married in June! The prince's concubine is Su Jiuni!"
Mr. Xia Ge almost threw his crutches away, "..."
All civil and military ministers, "..."
Then, they really don’t need to worry about it!
Their prince and Su Jiuni, the princess of Dayue Mingyue Princess, are actually a couple!
Why didn't you tell them in advance? If you had told them earlier, who among them would still get involved in this matter?
To offend the prince, the queen and the two princesses told the truth, to offend Su Jiuni——
The national strength of Xiling is no better than that of Nansang.
Besides, with Princess Su Jiuni, there is no other noble lady to worry about.
Who dares to steal a man from her... cough.
The ministers grinned and scattered.
Xiling’s future is more stable!
The eldest princess stood upright, watching the ministers disperse, and then looking at the second sister who was so proud of her mischief, she couldn't help laughing.
The haze in Xiling has dissipated, it’s great.
"Eldest sister, let's go and chat with the third sister?" The second princess turned around and put aside the past with a bright smile.
After staying in Tubei Village for two or three months, I can speak the word "nagging" very smoothly.
The eldest princess walked over, took her arm and continued to walk out of the palace, and said angrily, "You are a narrow-minded person. Third sister has no time to pay attention to us now, so don't disturb her. It took so many years for her and Bai Kui to get together, so take the time Leave it to them.”
As soon as the court meeting here broke up, the news quickly spread outside the palace walls.
First, the prince's sealing ceremony was completed.
One is the prince’s wedding in June, the prince’s concubine—Mingyue Princess Su Jiuni!
It was originally like an imperial city filled with boiling water, but now it seemed like it had been plunged into a frying pan and completely exploded.
This is still the case outside, let alone inside the palace.
The eunuchs and maidservants took the opportunity to frequently go back and forth in the Imperial Garden, just to get a closer look at the future princess who was admiring the scenery in the garden pavilion.
There were many people sitting scattered in the pavilion facing the lake.
Tianbao, Old Man Du, Su Wu, Wheat Sui, Su An and Bing'er.
Bai Yu wanted to come back to calm the hearts of his subjects, so they followed him, treating this trip as a trip and joining in the fun.
Aunt Jin was ordered to entertain distinguished guests here. She stopped the palace maid who came to serve tea for the sixth time and scolded helplessly, "That's almost it. How many times has this happened? How can you enjoy the scenery with the distinguished guests coming back and forth? Each one of them is getting more and more beautiful. If you don’t understand the rules, do you really think I won’t punish you?”
In less than an hour, eunuchs and maids came to serve tea six times, and different people came each time.
It hasn't stopped yet.
The palace maid was not afraid after being scolded. She stared at the woman in blue in the pavilion with shining eyes, "Mammy, the Crown Princess is so beautiful!"
Aunt Jin, "..."
Aunt Jin said, "Forget it this time, go down and talk to the people below later. You are not allowed to come back without a summons! Bring the tea over."
The maid's eyes brightened, "Yes! Thank you, mama!"
Sure enough, I heard what the seniors said is right, as long as I praise the princess to my grandma, I will definitely not be punished!
But the princess is really beautiful!
Her facial features are beautiful and refined, and her skin is like flawless white jade, but she doesn't have the pretentiousness of an ordinary woman. Her whole body exudes a sass that no man can match, domineering yet relaxed.
So charming!
