"Master, it's ready!"
The old lady took the well-dressed Shen Yue out of the room.
Shen Wansan smiled and said: "Yue'er, you are still young, why should you worry about that kid Qin Yun?"
Shen Yue looked coldly: "I am already Qin Yun's man!"
Shen Wansan: "So what? Among the women of my Shen family, who dares to say three or four. Okay, let's enter the palace!"
…
Daxia Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Emperor Xia hosted a banquet in honor of the dignitaries in Beijing, and the ladies of the capital who had been raised in their boudoirs now had the opportunity to show their faces.
But the eyes of many distinguished disciples could not help but look at Shen Yue, who was sitting next to His Majesty the Emperor.
They knew that Shen Yue already had a crush on her, but they still couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Queen Mother Qian was also present at this family banquet, but compared to the high-spirited look she had during her birthday a few months ago, she was obviously more haggard now.
King Longqing also specially requested an imperial edict to accompany the old mother.
In the harem, the originally powerful Concubine Xiao was beheaded for treason. Now there is only one concubine left, and that is Concubine Yang.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Xia actually named a woman from the Su family in Jiangnan as his queen.
This made the concubines in the harem quite dissatisfied, but as the current nominal master of the harem, Concubine Yang, she did not express any opinions.
At this time, she was sitting next to Emperor Xia in a palace dress, with an elegant and dignified smile on her face.
On the contrary, Qin Chen on the side had a gloomy face.
He drank a glass of wine and stood up suddenly.
"Father, today's family dinner is really boring. It would be great if Ninth Brother were here and he could add poetry to the fun!"
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Your ninth brother is in Qiongzhou and is fighting against pirates. Why, you want to follow him too?"
Qin Chen: "Father, I do think so, but I don't have the ability. Please ask my father to issue an order to let me go!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked, but the second prince beside him frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, they who are still in the capital now have a better chance of inheriting the throne. As the grandson of the prime minister, Qin Chen's behavior is really puzzling.
After all, it is almost impossible to succeed to the throne after the war!
Emperor Xia looked at Concubine Yang beside him with a smile.
"What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
Although Concubine Yang showed reluctance, she still nodded and said: "Chen'er is old, it's time to guard the border for Daxia Mu!"
Emperor Xia glanced at Yang An with satisfaction. It seemed that the Yang family had listened to his occasional reminders these days.
"Okay, if Chen'er wants to go there, naturally he has to choose a rich place. Prime Minister, where do you think we should choose for Chen'er?"
Yang An stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "This is a matter for the royal family, and I don't dare to overstep it."
"Say, I will pardon your innocence!"
Yang An: "Jizhou!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "Jizhou?"
He secretly wondered what kind of medicine this old fox was selling in his gourd. Jizhou is close to Longxi and right, and is only five hundred miles away from the Hexi Corridor.
That's not a safe place. With Qin Chen's abilities, it would be difficult for him to be the king of Jizhou.
The most important thing is that the Yang family's inherent power lies in Jiangnan.
But Emperor Xia soon realized that this old guy was trying to sell him something.
Emperor Xia was very generous when he saw this. After all, Qin Chen was also his biological son.
"Okay, let's go to Jizhou! According to my decree, the fourth prince Qin Chen will be granted the title of Prince of Jizhou. After the Laba Festival, he will go to Jizhou. In addition, I will give you three thousand elite troops, three artillery pieces, and five hundred muskets!"
Qin Chen's eyes lit up. This family was rich in wealth. He was the first person to be rewarded with a fire gun.
"Thank you, Father!"
Emperor Xia smiled: "I will give you another marriage!"
Qin Chen twitched his lips: "But it's up to my father to make the decision."
Emperor Xia's eyes swept across the audience, and finally fell on Hong Haoxuan.
"I heard that you have a daughter to be married, how about promising it to Chen'er?"
When Hong Haoxuan heard this, his heart sank. Who in the capital didn't know Qin Chen's virtues? For a prince who likes to play with rabbits, wouldn't his daughter suffer hardship if she marries him?
But soon he understood what Emperor Xia meant. He was the commander of the Jinyi Guard and commanded the imperial army. He asked his daughter to marry Qin Chen. This was to let him monitor Qin Chen.
If he dares to say no, there may be no Hong Haoxuan in the inner court tomorrow.
After so many years, this master still has some grudge against him!
"It is a humble job that I cannot ask for. Being able to marry the prince is a blessing from my Hong family."
"Haha, it's settled, we'll get married first and then have an affair."
"I hope you all have a good time!"
A trace of undetectable kindness flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold look.
Then he said to Qin Hao on the side: "Hao'er!"
Qin Haoru is carrying him. If he still can't figure out his position now, then he is a fool. He is probably not of the blood of the person in front of him.
Qin Hao tremblingly raised his hands and said: "My son is here!"
Emperor Xia: "I have seen how diligently you have been doing your work these years. How about going to Danzhou?"
Qin Hao looked over at Daxia: "Thank you, Father!"
Emperor Xia: "Which girl do you like? I will give you a marriage today."
Qin Hao understood that this was Emperor Xia's test. If he chose a daughter from a powerful family, it would mean that he was still attached to the throne, and he would be the one to be eliminated.
Qin Hao's eyes fell on the daughter of a fourth-grade Zhongshu Shilang. The girl looked like Xiaojiabiyu and was not bad. The most important thing was that his father had a spare job.
"Father, my son likes the daughter of Zhang Shilang's family!"
Emperor Xia looked over: "Very good, Zhang Aiqing, what do you think?"
Mr. Zhang looked flattered. Today, the inner palace notified families with daughters to bring their daughters to the palace. He thought it was just a formality, but he didn't expect that his daughter would still have the life of a princess.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xia Huang said: "That's good, let's get married on Laba Festival."
Finally, Emperor Xia looked at Bai Wanqing, who was sitting silently behind the head of the Bai family, and then glanced at Shen Yue, who had a cold look on her face.
He first said: "Everyone, after twenty years, I have decided to cancel the wanted order for Prince Liang. What do you think?"
The ministers' hearts sank, are they coming?
Yang An hesitated to speak. Nowadays, the civil and military dynasties are full of civil and military affairs. Anyone who has some information channels does not know that this is the King of Liang back then.
In the past twenty years, he had been the emperor in Qin Ying's name for a full twenty years!
No one knows why this is, maybe it’s for the so-called stability!
A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty is wise! Please also pardon the officials of King Liang who committed crimes back then!"
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "That's natural."
"Send an order to grant amnesty to the world!"
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"
Emperor Xia's eyes moved to the screen aside.
"I have a son who has been living among the people for these years. It's time for him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan!"
"Zheng'er, come out and meet all the adults."
Qin Chen and Qin Hao stared at the screen, and saw a young man wearing a black and gold python robe walking out slowly.
Taking a closer look, he and Emperor Xia had the same temperament between their eyebrows.
"My son, Qin Zheng has met all of you!"
He had a smile on his face, was very relaxed, and had no stage fright at all.
The ministers turned around and bowed: "I have met His Highness!"
Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Zheng'er, come to me. Today, your two brothers are also getting married. Take a look, which girl do you like?"
Zheng Zheng walked up to the head of the Bai family without haste and said with cupped hands: "Please, the head of the Bai family, betroth Bai Wanqing to Xiao Wang."
Bai Zhantang smiled and said: "Your Highness is a talented person, and I cannot ask for it."
Then Qin Zheng walked up to Shen Wansan under the gaze of everyone.
"Master Shen, please betroth Miss Shen Yue to Xiao Wang!"
Shen Wansan said: "I am willing!"
When everyone saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment. Didn't Shen Yue betrothed to Qin Yun early? What's going on? Qin Chen also looked confused.
But just when everyone thought things were settled.
But Shen Yue suddenly stood up: "I don't want to!"
Qin Zheng still had a smile on his face: "Miss Shen, is there anything about this king that I am not worthy of you?"
"How can you be worthy of me? Are you better than Qin Yun in the paper? You are not even as good as Qin Chen in terms of martial arts. Who do you think you want to marry me?"
"Snapped!"
"Asshole!"
Shen Wansan stood up and slapped Shen Yue on the face.
The officials were stunned. They seemed to have seen this scene before, but that time Shen Yue was scolding Qin Yun.
This is a turn of events.
Qin Chen on the side curled his lips, did he say he was worse than him? Is he bad?
Shen Yue covered her face and looked at Shen Wansan coldly: "You hit me?"
Shen Wansan's heart tightened: "Your Majesty, my little girl is ignorant. I will take her back and teach her a lesson."
Emperor Xia smiled and said: "I know Yue Yatou's character. She is straight forward and I don't blame her."
"Shen Yue, do you still remember that I once said that you were the Crown Princess?"
"Now if you agree, you will be the crown princess of Daxia!"
Shen Yue laughed loudly: "Okay, Qin Yun will be the crown prince, and I will be the crown prince!"
As soon as he said this, Shen Wansan shouted in his heart: "Silly girl, you think Qin Yun's life is not long enough!"
Emperor Xia's expression changed: "Yue Yatou is drunk, someone will take him down!"
"Shen Aiqing, this marriage has been decided. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, I will personally officiate the wedding of my royal children!"
"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor!"
