To prevent the General's Mansion from becoming a jerk... ugh, to avoid any inconvenience caused by Chaoxi's identity, Han Qinmo cast a spell overnight for everyone in Kyoto and the two surrounding cities to forget about the incident. The next day, everyone returned to normal, and Rong Chaoxi was still the mischievous little princess in everyone's mind.
This time, not only did they drive the Northern Barbarians out of Dongwu, but they also took back their four cities and a mountain range, and even confirmed that Dongwu was guarded by unknown gods. As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the emperor waved his hand and reduced taxes by 20% across the country. He also ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a celebration banquet and a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The palace was bustling with activity.
The General's Mansion is also extremely busy...
The maids and servants blocked the red box from entering the door, while Rong Baichuan and Qin Nanjing refused to marry inside.
"My son is still young, there's no need to rush him into marriage..."
"My daughter is in even worse condition. Go, go, go!"
Matchmakers came one after another to propose marriage, and Rong Baichuan was so tired of refusing that he drank a pot of water.
"Did Chaoxi really mean that Abai can't see his true love?" he asked.
Qin Nanjing nodded, "I didn't know why that year, but now I know."
"Abai is cultivating now. I'm afraid his fate is not with us."
"That makes sense." Rong Baichuan put down the teapot and ordered people to close the door tightly and not open it before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
…
Ten days later, at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, as soon as the Rong family carriage stopped, many people gathered around. The court officials stopped Rong Baichuan, and the ladies pulled Qin Nanjing.
Rong Yubai picked up Chaoxi, and Hai Yan and Rong Yuanyou escorted him. The three of them rushed into the palace and hid in the Chaoyang Palace where the third prince lived. They only came out when the banquet started.
"General Rong, you have driven back the Northern Barbarians and captured many of their cities. I'm afraid His Majesty will crown you a king."
In the hall, before the banquet began, a newly promoted court official raised his cup to celebrate with him.
Rong Baichuan glanced at him and said, "How should I know? Go ask His Majesty."
"..." The man choked and his face turned sour. He came to flatter him, not to ask if he really wanted to be crowned king! Does this man understand?
He turned his sleeves and left. No wonder everyone said he was difficult to get along with, uncultured, and a rough man.
The emperor and empress entered the palace, the bronze bells rang, the music lingered in the air, and the palace maids filed in one after another, holding pots and cups, and the banquet was served with eight delicacies.
The emperor took advantage of many happy events to announce that the third prince would be named crown prince, and ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony.
It was already a tacit knowledge that Han Qinmo was the crown prince, and everyone stood up to pay their respects.
Rong Chaoxi raised his head from the delicious food,
[The next emperor is Han Qinzhe. If the mistress is the crown prince, why didn't he become the emperor?]
The little girl didn't understand and continued eating.
Rong Baichuan looked at the Fifth Prince beside Han Shang in horror. He was gnawing on a pig's trotter, and his mouth was covered in oil just like Rong Chaoxi's.
No way, the fifth prince wants to compete with the third prince for the throne?
The two previous generations of Dongwu almost couldn't give away the throne, but so many people like this generation?
…
At the fireworks display at the end of the banquet, Rong Yuanyou pulled Han Qinzhe to a quiet corner, pointed at his nose and said:
"I'm telling you, I'm not a traitor. If you dare to compete with your third brother for the throne, I won't want you as my brother anymore!"
Han Qinzhe blinked, looking puzzled. "What are you talking about? How could I compete with my third brother for the throne?"
"You'd better not."
"What?"
The two went back to continue watching the fireworks. After a while, Rong Baichuan asked someone to call him to a corner.
"Fifth Prince, what do you think of the throne?" He asked ambiguously, and Han Qinzhe was confused.
Han Qinzhe was a little afraid of Rong Baichuan. He had seen him beat Rong Yuanyou many times, and he also heard that he even dared to beat his father. Moreover, he didn't look very good now.
Han Qinzhe held himself and asked cautiously: "How should I look at it?"
"Hiss..." Seeing him look so stupid, Rong Baichuan couldn't understand why he would be the future emperor. It seemed that the current emperor was also quite stupid in the past.
He pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, if that position isn't given to you by the Emperor, you're not allowed to even think about it, or I'll be rude to you."
After saying that, he raised his fist and turned away.
Han Qinzhe scratched his head. What was going on?
As soon as he walked out of the corner, he saw Rong Yubai walking towards him... Well, he must be here to find him, so he should wait here.
Rong Yubai was a scholar, unlike the two warriors who threatened him straight away. He smiled gently, "Fifth Prince..."
Just as he opened his mouth, Han Qinzhe said first: "I will not compete with my third brother for the throne, absolutely not!" He raised three fingers as if to swear.
"Uh..." Rong Yubai was embarrassed. He said sorry and left in shame.
Thinking that there were still a few people in the Rong family, he simply sat here and waited. Sure enough, Rong Xuqing and Jiang Lingyu arrived.
"Sister Rong, Brother Jiang, are you here to ask me not to compete with my third brother for the throne?" He went straight to the point.
Rong Xuqing immediately understood that everyone had come to see him.
Without waiting for her to explain, Han Qinzhe asked in confusion: "Why do you all have this idea?"
"That... is..." Rong Xuqing didn't know how to explain for a moment, and suddenly realized that his family was really inexplicable.
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. We are not here to see you." Jiang Lingyu hurriedly helped his wife out of the situation and hugged her to leave this embarrassing place.
Han Khyentse: ...
They must be up to something. Thinking that his third brother was a god, he must know something, he went to the crowd and found the man. He was holding Rong Chaoxi and watching the fireworks.
"Xiao San, look, that flower is so big." The little girl's eyes, filled with fireworks, were brighter than the starry sky.
