Chapter 540 Posthumous Title

Shanhu didn't want to wake up the Crown Princess, but she had to tell her such good news as soon as possible so that she could continue to sleep after being happy.

The great joy washed away Chen Wan's sleepiness.

Although everyone knew that the position of crown prince was already in Xiao Huaijin's pocket, and the emperor's princes combined could not compete with Xiao Huaijin, Chen Wan really did not expect that the emperor would appoint Xiao Huaijin as the crown prince on such a special day.

This is the best birthday gift for her mother, Lin Qingyin, who is in the afterlife...

Shanhu continued, "That's not all. The Emperor posthumously conferred the title of Empress Zhaoyuan on Concubine Chen..."

Shen Wan's nose felt sore and tears sparkled in his eyes.

The emperor is in love with Lin Qingyin. Xiao Huaijin has been carefully taught by Old Master Pei and has the talent to be the crown prince. The emperor named him the crown prince, which is a case of a son's status being determined by his mother.

Empress Song was deposed and the position of empress was already vacant. On the same day that the emperor named Xiao Huaijin as the crown prince, he posthumously named Concubine Chen as empress, showing that the mother's status was enhanced by her son.

The emperor posthumously named Concubine Chen as empress, and announced in the council hall that he would not appoint another empress in his lifetime. A hundred years later, he would be buried together with Concubine Chen.

Chen Wan was happy for her twin brother Xiao Huaijin, and also for her biological mother Lin Qingyin. The only regret was that she could not properly recognize her ancestors. However, the emperor registered her as a daughter of the Concubine Chen, and all the civil and military officials knew it clearly. They all knew that she was the flesh and blood of the emperor and the Concubine Chen, and Xiao Huaijin's biological sister. No one dared to treat her as anything other than a real princess.

She had been reborn for so long, and she had finally avenged 90% of her past life's grudges. What remained was to capture Xiao Yun and Duke Song and bring them to justice.

Shen Wan believed that this day would not be too far away.

Here, Chen Wan felt the difficulty of revenge, while over there in Prince Ling's Mansion, Xiao Huaijin, who was kneeling on the ground to receive the order, had a dazed look on his face.

It feels like a dream.

Just a few months ago, he was brought to Beijing in a prison car. What he hoped was that the Ministry of Justice would give him justice. As a result, not only was his injustice cleared, but he was also transformed into the emperor's exiled prince.

The prince was not in office for long before he was named the crown prince.

He didn't do anything.

If Xiao Yun and the other princes heard this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

The blessed ones don’t have to worry, while the unblessed ones run themselves to pieces.

They racked their brains and used deception to fight for the position of crown prince, but when it came to Prince Ling, he didn't have to do anything and the position of crown prince was already in his hands.

Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.

Eunuch An handed the imperial edict to Xiao Huaijin, congratulated him with a smile, and then said, "Now that you have been named the Crown Prince, you can no longer live outside the palace. The Emperor has ordered the East Palace to be tidied up, and the Crown Prince needs to move back into the palace as soon as possible."

...I had just gotten used to living in Prince Ling's Mansion, but now I have to move to the Eastern Palace again.

Deep down, Xiao Huaijin was a little reluctant to move.

But he also knew that the Crown Prince living in the East Palace was a good thing that other princes could not even dream of. If he dared to say he would not move, the Emperor would probably want to beat him with a stick.

Xiao Huaijin nodded, "I understand."

While Xiao Huaijin was seeing off Eunuch An, Prince Yuzhang and Chu Yang arrived.

Xiao Huaijin held the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand. The three of them circled around him twice. Prince Yuzhang said, "Brother Jingyu is right. Princess Qiyang will bless you in your grave."

Who would have thought that it was Princess Qi Yang and her family who brought down Xiao Yun?

Prince Qing was ambitious and killed Prince Jin, which eventually made things difficult for the emperor. Xiao Huaijin and the emperor showed them that even if the true emperor did not fight for the throne and appeared in a prison cart, no one could take the throne away from him.

Prince Yuzhang sighed, "Once you move into the East Palace, we won't be able to eat there for free anymore."

Xiao Huaijin, "..."

He wanted to say something to comfort the Prince of Yuzhang, but before he could open his mouth, the Prince of Yuzhang hooked his shoulder and said, "There are many imperial chefs in the palace, so don't bring the imperial chef from your house into the palace."

Xiao Huaijin, "..."

Chu Yang said, "Since Huai Jin is not here, we can't come to Prince Ling's Mansion to eat for free."

Prince Yuzhang said, "Of course we won't come to Prince Ling's Mansion. Isn't our restaurant about to open? We have the imperial chef in charge. Can you imagine how good the business will be? When Huai Jin leaves the palace in the future, we will eat at the restaurant."

The Prince of Yuzhang was in charge of this matter. He was so busy raiding houses and arresting people these days that Chu Yang and the others almost forgot about it.

Although the emperor has given him the imperial kitchen, he shouldn't just give it to the Prince of Yuzhang, right? Xiao Huaijin was a little troubled.

However, in the eyes of Prince Yuzhang, this was not a big deal at all. "Just tell the emperor, there will be no problem. By the way, let the emperor give us a name. I have been thinking about the name of the restaurant for several days. It should not be too flashy, so let's call it 'The First Restaurant in the World'."

Xiao Huaijin, "..."

Chu Yang, “…”

Zhao Ang, "..."

There were black lines on the foreheads of the three people.

Isn't this ostentatious?

But think about it, the restaurant was opened by them, the prince helped to ask the emperor to give it a name, and there is an imperial chef in charge, so it deserves the title of the best restaurant in the world.

It is truly worthy of the name and cannot be considered ostentatious.

Xiao Huaijin agreed.

He nodded, and in the eyes of Prince Yuzhang and others, the matter was settled.

Even if Xiao Huaijin couldn't do it, he could still find Shen Wan. The emperor would always grant Shen Wan's requests, let alone asking for an imperial chef, even asking for another one would be no problem.

Isn't it a good opportunity to come and congratulate Xiao Huaijin, so just go to him and do it. Xiao Huaijin goes to the palace almost every day, and it is not as convenient for Shen Wan to go to the palace as for him.

Xiao Huaijin was named the crown prince and will be moving into the East Palace in the next few days. It is such a day worth celebrating, so he must have a good drink.

Xiao Huaijin said, "I'll ask the imperial chef to prepare a few tables of dishes and call my sister, brother-in-law and the others over."

Prince Yuzhang said, "I think we should not invite my cousins ​​today. There's a lantern festival tonight. If we go there during the day, we probably won't have the energy to visit the lantern festival at night."

Xiao Huaijin was so happy that he forgot about this and gave up the idea of ​​inviting Chen Wan, Wei Mingzhu and others, and only invited Xie Jingyu and the prince of Weiguo.

As he was about to leave Beijing, Xie Jingyu actually wanted to stay in the mansion to have dinner with Chen Wan, but it was the first day that Xiao Huaijin was canonized as the prince, and he sent someone to invite him, so he couldn't refuse him face.

Before leaving, Xie Jingyu put his arm around Chen Wan's waist and said, "Sleep a little longer in the afternoon. Your husband will accompany you to enjoy the lanterns in the evening."

Without Xie Jingyu's explanation, Chen Wan would also be able to keep herself energized for visiting the lantern festival in the evening.

This was a lantern festival that she had specially asked the Emperor to allow outside the palace. How could she not enjoy it? Once the Empress Dowager passed away, no weddings could be held outside the palace for a hundred days, let alone a lantern festival.

It's a long and arduous journey for Princess Xuanning and the third young master of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion.

Princess Xuanning's wedding date had originally been set, but unfortunately Princess Qi Yang was killed and the Queen Mother fell ill. Even Xie Zhiyao's wedding had to be postponed, making it even more impossible for the palace to hold a wedding at this critical juncture.

It has been delayed until now, and it will inevitably be postponed for another three months.

However, Concubine Zhao should be quite happy about it. Queen Song was deposed, and although the emperor would never appoint another queen in this life, he let Concubine Zhao take charge of the phoenix seal. It would be better for her to personally prepare for Princess Xuanning's marriage than having Queen Song do it for her.

After Chen Wan finished her lunch, she played with the child for a while and then went to bed.

After being woken up by Coral in the morning, I couldn’t fall asleep again. I slept until the sun was about to set.

When Shen Wan woke up, packed up and went out to the street, the street was already crowded with people and noisy.
