The next day, the sky was bright and clear, and the whole city of Shangjing was filled with a happy atmosphere. His Majesty had recovered from a serious illness. Everyone was celebrating, and every department and government office was talking about it.

After all, since the news of His Majesty's coma came out, the people in the entire capital have been on tenterhooks all day long, not because they care much about the life and death of the emperor.

Rather, they are worried that the capital will be cleaned up again, and officials of all sizes will naturally take this time to stretch their joints. It would be best if they can meet the saint.

For those who cannot meet the emperor, their feelings must be delivered. Even if they cannot be delivered to the emperor, it is still best to deliver them to the celebrity next to the emperor.

Early in the morning, Liu Jin was reluctant to receive gifts.

"Eunuch Liu, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake given to you by my royal highness. Please try it!"

"Who is your highness?"

"It's His Royal Highness!"

Liu Jin accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the food. There is a big banquet in the palace today, and the rest of the family has to go to work, so I don't dare to delay!"

"Father-in-law, please go slowly. By the way, my prince's previous ice room was lost to His Highness Ninth Prince, so the income from it belongs to the father-in-law. The prince plans to use other properties to make up for it. The father-in-law has time to take over it!"

Liu Jin paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Your Highness is too polite. By the way, His Majesty also said this morning that His Highness is mature and steady, and is a talent that can be developed, but don't rush anything!"

"I understand, I will reply to the prince right now!"

Looking at the second prince, Liu Jin smiled and shook his head. It didn't matter whether the emperor had said this. Could it be that Qin Hao dared to go to the emperor for confirmation?

Liu Jin knew what Qin Hao wanted to ask, but he didn't know about it, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense.

He took two more steps, but happened to meet Qin Chen's men.

"Father-in-law, this is the moon pearl sent from the East China Sea. I heard that my father-in-law has a cold disease. Grind this pearl into powder and take it to warm your body!"

Liu Jin accepted it with a smile: "Your Highness is really interested. I wonder what he wants to ask the Za family?"

The man smiled and said: "His Royal Highness said that he has arranged a house for you in Jizhou, my father-in-law's hometown, with 3,000 acres of land. You can go and have a look when you have time!"

Liu Jin squinted his eyes, good guy, these princes are more generous than each other, and he can't help but express his gratitude.

"His Majesty said that the Fourth Highness looks most like His Majesty when he was young!"

The man paused: "Slave, go and answer now!"

Liu Jin held the land deed, but shook his head. This gift was too big, and he did not dare to accept it alone, so he had to quietly put it into His Majesty's private treasury.

Liu Jin took two more steps and met Qin Yun who came into the palace. He quickly ran forward, bowed and said, "Your Highness, why are you here so early!"

Qin Yun pointed to the little medical fairy beside him: "She was afraid of getting lost, so she asked me to go into the palace and show her around."

Liu Jin reminded: "Your Highness, don't go to the front palace or the harem of the imperial city. It will be a big trouble if someone sees you!"

Qin Yun smiled and said: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Liu, for reminding me, why can't I harvest more today!"

Liu Jin put it away calmly.

"Your Highness, these are all things sent by the Second and Fourth Princes. I dare not refuse to accept them, but they are not from me."

Qin Yun understood Liu Jin's subtext and found that the eunuch had been treating him very well recently.

"Okay, go and do your work!"

Liu Jin cupped his hands and watched Qin Yun leave.

At this time, a great eunuch came forward. He was very puzzled: "General manager, why are you so respectful to His Highness Ninth Prince!"

Liu Jin gave him a cold look.

"Palm mouth!"

The man was stunned for a moment, but he immediately stood upright and gave himself two big mouthfuls.

Liu Jin raised his head and pinched his throat and said arrogantly: "Remember, we are slaves, and we will be slaves forever! And the master will always be the master!"

"Dezi, we slaves can't get involved in our master's family affairs!"

"Little...little understand!" The eunuch in charge, who started at level five or above, bowed his head.

"Let's go. A lot of people are coming today. Are there enough ingredients in the imperial kitchen?"

"Go back to my father-in-law, everything is ready. All the ingredients have been tested and everything is carefully selected. There is absolutely no chance of any mistakes!"

"If you try again, if something goes wrong, you and I will both lose our heads!"

"promise!"



The Imperial Palace of Daxia, the front palace and the back palace.

As the name suggests, in front is the Imperial City, next to the yamen of the three provinces and six ministries. In addition, there are the Imperial City Department, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guard and other yamen offices, but they are all in the west.

To the east is the official East Palace, but for decades, there has been no owner here.

But today is different. The Weiyang Hall in the East Palace is in full swing at the moment. Thousands of eunuchs and maids are setting up the venue for a grand banquet.

The silks, carpets, and tables were all of the highest standard, because this was not only a banquet for the princes returning from a great victory, but also the first banquet for His Majesty after his recovery, and all the guests were princes and nobles.

By around noon, people were waiting outside the palace one after another. Although the banquet had not yet been held, several ministers dared to be late.

At this time, the eldest prince Qin Tian also arrived slowly. Today, he was dressed very formally, with a bright yellow python robe that was extremely dazzling. The officials of the eldest prince's line were also following him, either flattering or flattering him.

"Your Highness, even if I risk my life today, I will still ask Your Majesty to change his mind!"

"If a country does not establish a long-term heir, it will shake its foundation. Your Highness does not need to worry!"

"That's right, today I will most likely be killed by the Shocking Dragon Pillar!"

One by one, the ministers began to express their loyalty, but they didn't know whether it was true or false.

Compared with the large number of people around Qin Tian, ​​Qin Yun, who arrived belatedly, was only surrounded by the Little Medical Fairy, Shen Wansan, Shen Yue, and a few officials from the Shen family.

As for the generals, very few came. It is worth mentioning that Bai Feiyang and his new daughter-in-law Zhao Xiaoxiao were also invited.

"The auspicious hour has arrived, let the guests enter and play music!"

The palace musicians played solemnly and passionately. As the music reached its climax, "Your Majesty has arrived" was heard, and the entire venue suddenly shouted "Long live".

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Qin Yun and other princes stood at the forefront.

Emperor Xia was wearing a black dragon robe and his eyes were majestic. He came to the dragon chair and glanced at Qin Yun and Qin Tian intently.

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, my emperor!"

Emperor Xia nodded, and Liu Jin took a step forward and flicked the whisk in his hand.

"Let's have a feast!"

All the guests took their seats one after another, and the slender palace maid entered and started the first dance.

After the dance, Emperor Xia raised his glass.

"Today, I am hosting a banquet here. One is to entertain the generals who put down the chaos, and the other two are to announce to the world who I am the Prince of Daxia!"

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why they were asked again.

At this time, people from the eldest prince's family stood up.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince should be established!"

Emperor Xia looked at Qin Yun with a smile: "Qin Yun, what do you think?"

Qin Yun stood up and bowed: "In my opinion, the prince is not just a status, but a responsibility and responsibility. He should be responsible for protecting the land, have the talent to open up borders, have the plan to stabilize the country, and have tolerance. The mind of heaven!"

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "That's very good. Who do you think is the most suitable?"

Everyone looked at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was also confused. He didn't expect the emperor to ask him this.

Qin Yun muttered for a moment and replied: "It's all up to the father, the emperor, and I will never complain!"

Emperor Xia nodded: "In that case, then I will seal..."

"Wait!"

Qin Tian stood up with a cold expression.

"Father, aren't you going to ask your son? Obviously, I am your eldest son!"
