The second prince knelt respectfully before Emperor Mingxi.
Emperor Mingxi looked at his eldest son, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. "Second Prince Xia Chengnian participated in the Northern Expedition this time, and made many military achievements, leading the troops. I will appoint you as General Dingbei and continue to serve in the Imperial Guards."
[Second brother has really made progress this time! ]
[From now on I will never call you a rough-looking second brother again, hahaha! ]
Afterwards, Emperor Mingxi rewarded more than twenty generals with outstanding military achievements one by one.
The meritorious generals were rewarded by the emperor and were all delighted.
Civil and military officials were delighted to see so many outstanding generals emerge in this northern expedition.
For a moment, the hall was filled with joy.
After the rewarded general returned to his seat, the princes and ministers around him all complimented him, toasted him, and flattered him.
After all the meritorious generals had received their rewards, Emperor Mingxi stood up and walked down from the dragon throne.
He walked to Xiao Tiehan's seat and stopped.
Xiao Tiehan also stood up immediately.
"Khan Xiao, now, you are not only my father-in-law, and not only the Khan of the Xiaolin tribe, but also the Great Khan of the entire northern border!" Emperor Mingxi smiled.
At this time, everyone in the hall kept silent and stared intently at Emperor Mingxi and Xiao Tiehan.
There were also a few curious princes and ministers, whose eyes showed an expression of enjoying the show.
Even before the army returned triumphantly, rumors circulated in the capital that Emperor Mingxi would next deal with the Xiao family and destroy Xiao Tiehan.
Xiao Tiehan stretched out his hands and respectfully performed the etiquette between monarch and subject to Emperor Mingxi.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, I will regard you as my king."
"For the past twenty years, the Xiaolin tribe has been able to maintain peace and the people have been able to have enough food and clothing, all thanks to the protection of Daxia."
"Now, the reason why the Northern Frontier has been able to end its chaotic situation and achieve unification is entirely due to your Majesty's decision and assistance."
"I, Xiao Tiehan, swear hereby that as long as my Xiao family commands the Northern Frontier, the Northern Frontier will be willing to be loyal to Daxia and serve as its vassal."
Xiao Tiehan's words were powerful and sincere, and they were very moving to listen to.
Grandfather said it well!
[Now, those who are eyeing the Xiao family covetously will all shut up.]
"Little Liang Chaozong, let's see how you can use the Xiao family's affairs to cause trouble!"
When Xia Miaoyuan thought of this, he rolled his eyes at Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse.
"Great Khan, I understand your intentions! I trust you!"
"To express my affection for you, I confer upon you the title of Duke of Dingguo!"
"The descendants of the Xiao family can inherit the title of Duke Dingguo from generation to generation!"
"I thank my lord for his grace!" Xiao Tiehan took a step back and knelt on the ground.
"Please get up quickly!" Emperor Mingxi hurriedly helped him up.
Several ministers who were waiting to watch the fun were dumbfounded when they saw that Xiao Tiehan was willing to humbly call himself a minister and that Emperor Mingxi even conferred the title of Duke on him.
Especially Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse, who were sitting in the corner, were shocked and angry.
His hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, were clenched into fists.
Seeing this, Xia Miaoyuan's admiration for Xiao Tiehan deepened. "My grandfather truly understands the greater good!"
Accepting the title from Daxia might seem like a loss of authority as the Khan of Northern Frontier. But it would also silence the gossips of the people.
[This way, Daxia and Northern Xinjiang will be united as one, relying on each other. Neighboring countries will not dare to attack Daxia or Northern Xinjiang easily.]
"Long live Great Xia! Long live Northern Frontier!" A loud male voice suddenly rang out in the hall, interrupting Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the second prince shouting.
"May God bless you and keep you in peace forever!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall began to echo and repeat the words of the Second Prince.
After a burst of echoes, the guests shouted in unison: "Long live Daxia! Long live the Northern Frontier! May heaven bless us with blessings and eternal peace!"
The shouts were deafening.
Emperor Mingxi, the Empress, Xiao Tiehan, Kezun and others, looked at this shocking scene, and could not hide the smiles on their faces.
After the shouting stopped, Emperor Mingxi took the lead in raising his glass, and the guests also raised their glasses to celebrate.
The drums and music sounded again, and the dancers and singers came on stage again.
The guests toasted each other and the hall was filled with joy.
Xia Miaoyuan was in a good mood. He also picked up the juice in front of him, drank a few glasses with the adults, and pretended to drink to celebrate.
The Crown Princess arrived at this time.
[It's the eldest sister-in-law and nephew!] Xia Miaoyuan was so happy when she saw the Crown Princess holding little Dinghui that she quickly put the juice in her hand on the table.
Xia Dinghui was only one month old, at the age when he was greedy and sleepy. He was awake for very short periods of time during the day and night.
Therefore, the Queen specially arranged for the Crown Princess and the little grandson to come later.
Wait until little Huangsun wakes up and feels better, then come to the main hall.
When Emperor Mingxi and the Empress saw their daughter-in-law coming with her grandson, they stood up happily to greet her.
Emperor Mingxi held the little grandson in his arms and coaxed him gently.
The little prince blinked his big black eyes and seemed to be very interested in everything around him.
At this time, when the guests saw the little grandson of the emperor coming, they all came forward to flatter him.
This praise said that the little grandson of the emperor was really smart, and that praise said that the little grandson of the emperor looked very much like Emperor Mingxi.
Until Emperor Mingxi could no longer listen and gestured to Debao.
Debao immediately paused the singing and dancing.
Emperor Mingxi stood up again and said, "Today is the full moon day of my eldest grandson. I am very happy to have him!"
As he spoke, Emperor Mingxi took a brocade box from Debao's hand, took out a jade pendant with a dragon pattern from it, and carefully put it around Xia Dinghui's neck.
"This is the full moon gift from me and the Queen."
"I'd like to take advantage of today to confer upon him the title of Prince Yongjia!"
As soon as Emperor Mingxi finished speaking, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.
[Wow! He was crowned the Crown Prince just after the full moon!]
[In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, this little Ding Hui will be the successor of Da Xia! ]
The princes and ministers also stood up to celebrate the little emperor's grandson's full moon.
After thanking him for the favor, the prince, along with the princess and the little grandson, sat down at their seats.
The guests came up to them in twos and threes, holding gifts and giving them presents.
Soon, a pile of gifts piled up in front of the Crown Princess.
"Yingxue! Bring me my gift!" Seeing that everyone was giving gifts, Xia Miaoyuan hurriedly instructed Yingxue.
After a while, Yingxue came over pushing a small cart from behind.
"Come, follow me to deliver the gift!"
Xia Miaoyuan spoke in a baby voice, stood up and walked towards the Crown Princess's seat.
At this time, there were slightly fewer guests bringing gifts.
Xia Miaoyuan struggled to get in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, "Crown brother, sister-in-law! Miao'er also has a gift for my nephew!"
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were both a little surprised when they heard Xia Miaoyuan say this seriously.
