"I have inherited the order of Heaven and have been entrusted with the care of the state. I have worked tirelessly day and night, diligently governing the country and caring for the people, deeply concerned with the long-term stability of the country.
My eldest son, Xiao Conghui, is a man of great learning, both virtuous and talented, with a benevolent disposition. He has achieved academic success, is well-versed in both ancient and modern times, and possesses a virtuous character. Taught by a master since childhood, he has diligently studied, mastering both civil and military skills, and has won my heart.
He has been by my side for a long time. I have observed his words and deeds and examined his aspirations. I believe he is capable of shouldering this great responsibility. I now appoint him as the Crown Prince to carry on my legacy.
"
"Your son accepts the order," Xiao Conghui raised his hands above his head.
The imperial edict finally arrived. He had been looking forward to it for a long time. He had always wondered how he would feel if one day he received the imperial edict appointing him as the crown prince.
Today, when this moment really came, he was not as excited as he had imagined. On the contrary, he was extremely calm and normal.
With the status of the crown prince, he can do whatever he wants with justification...
The eunuch Li Lai placed the imperial edict in Xiao Conghui's hand, then said with a smile, "Prince, please stand up."
Li Lai looked at Xiao Conghui, tears welling up in his eyes. When he first entered the palace, he was still a young eunuch. Once, he made a mistake and was beaten with a stick. It was Xiao Conghui who found an imperial physician to treat him...
Over the years, Xiao Conghui has taken care of him many times in secret. He always thought that if it weren't for Xiao Conghui, he would have died.
Today, Xiao Conghui was made the crown prince, and he was really happy.
"Eunuch Li, please sit down and have a cup of tea," Xiao Conghui said.
Li Lai smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am in a hurry to return and report. I will come back another day to bother you."
"I know that among the successful candidates this time there is a Li Xun, your younger brother, who is a talented person," Xiao Conghui said seriously.
He had examined Li Xun and found him to be an upright person who could be used. More importantly, Li Xun had risen from the bottom and had no aristocratic family to back him up.
Although the imperial court now holds special examinations, 90% of those selected come from aristocratic families. In the future, he will break the monopoly of the aristocratic families and open a path for the world to move up.
Therefore, he wanted to use people like Li Xun.
After hearing Xiao Conghui's words, Li Lai's eyes suddenly lit up and a wave of heat surged in his heart. He had been in the palace for so many years, and he understood too well the weight of Xiao Conghui's words.
Li Lai bowed respectfully and excitedly called out, "Prince~"
Then Li Lai bowed and left.
The palace servant beside Xiao Conghui hurriedly sent it out, and inconspicuously stuffed a large purse into Li Lai's hand, and said with a smile, "Please have some tea, Eunuch Li."
......
The decree to appoint a crown prince spread quickly throughout the harem like a gust of wind.
Queen Wang was already worried in the palace, and when she heard this suddenly, she thought she was hallucinating.
Until the palace maids and eunuchs all kowtowed, "Congratulations to the Queen, Congratulations to the Queen!"
Biyun Ma wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, today is a good day. We servants want to ask for a reward."
Queen Wang finally came to her senses from her shock and said, "Everyone, stand up, reward, reward, reward each of you two months' salary."
Everyone gave thanks after hearing this.
For a moment, the Pepper Room was filled with joy.
Queen Wang smiled, but for some reason, a hint of loneliness appeared in her eyes. The position of crown prince should have belonged to her son long ago, and why was it only now...
......
Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Heng was resting on the chaise longue when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Who's outside? Come in."
Feeling annoyed by the noise, Concubine Heng yelled outside.
The personal maid came in hurriedly, looking uneasy, "Your Majesty, the Queen has appointed the eldest prince as the Crown Prince..."
What?
Establish a prince?
Xiao Conghui?
If Concubine Heng's head is frozen, then don't they have any chance?
After being stunned for half a minute, Concubine Heng finally regained consciousness. "Has the Emperor issued an order?"
The palace servant bowed her head and said, "General Li went to the eldest prince's palace to convey the order."
boom!
"Your Majesty," the palace maid said softly, noticing Concubine Heng's pale face, "Your Majesty, take care."
The imperial edict has been issued, and His Highness is the rightful crown prince.
Concubine Heng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly broke down in tears, cursing as she cried, "The emperor's heart is hard to predict... He treated the Second Prince so well in normal times... But now, at the end of the world, he passed the throne to someone else... And just two days ago, he was in my bed..."
Concubine Heng cursed out loud, and her words became more and more outrageous.
She takes what men say in bed seriously, so she is quite a warrior.
"Let's go, I want to ask the emperor for an explanation."
Concubine Heng patted her chest and said through gritted teeth.
Why?!
