At this time, the eunuch who came to report the news was still on the way. Everyone didn't know what had happened. They saw the emperor's hand shaking and almost burned the sky lantern.
Prince An next to him held up the sky lantern, but the emperor had already let go. The sky lantern slowly rose into the air, and the people below cheered, kneeling on the ground in groups of three or two, shouting "Long live the emperor!"
"Let's go back to the palace!" The emperor walked hurriedly to the stage.
The Minister of Rites and several officials stood before the emperor, "Your Majesty! Nine sky lanterns must be lit. Nine is the supreme number. Even one less will do. The people below are watching. Your Majesty, you cannot leave!"
The emperor was extremely anxious!
Those mediocre doctors in the Imperial Hospital clearly said that Huan'er would give birth in a month, so he felt at ease to keep Huan'er in the palace. Now that Huan'er suddenly gave birth prematurely, how could he not be anxious?
"Prince An, please light the remaining sky lanterns for me."
Prince An was closest to the emperor and also heard the voice of the secret guard. He immediately responded, "Your Majesty, just go ahead and rest assured. I will leave this small matter to this humble servant."
The Minister of Rites knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is against etiquette. It has always been the emperor who lit the sky lantern. Your Highness Prince An not only did not dissuade us, but also agreed so quickly. I think this is inappropriate. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Officials knelt neatly on the rooftop, saying in unison, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The emperor's face turned pale. No wonder Prime Minister Liu claimed to be ill and didn't come today. It turned out that there was such a good show waiting for him.
Concubine Chun gave birth prematurely in the palace, and people outside the palace stopped him from returning to the palace and tried to sow discord between him and Prince An. What on earth do these people want to do?
"Get out of here!" The emperor kicked the Minister of Rites away.
When he first ascended the throne, he was always oppressed by these people. But now the Liu family is no longer the only one in power in the court, and he has his own children. He will never be constrained by others again!
