Chapter 347: The Rabbit Spirit Disguised Herself as a Man and Ran Away with the Ball 57
The Emperor clapped his hands and laughed, "After so many years, I finally found my princess!"
The queen raised her head happily and said, "Your Majesty, this is also my wish. In this case, from now on Miss Su should come to the palace and live with us."
Su Zhiruan knew very well that the emperor might be trying a desperate measure to see if what she said about governing the country was true, but the queen seemed more interested in her four children and even gave her a kind smile as soon as she stood up.
"You said your name is Su Zhiruan, so from now on I will call you Ruanruan," the queen stood between the four old maids, she said earnestly, "You are taking care of the child alone, so it is inevitable that you will be overwhelmed. I gave birth to the prince, so I have experience in taking care of children. If you don't worry, I will visit the child often in the future."
"It was already very laborious to give birth to them and raise them. If the Queen doesn't mind, I will trouble you in the future," Su Zhiruan smiled in her heart. When it comes to experience in raising children, the Queen is far inferior to her. But it can be seen that the Queen has been without a child for so many years. She really wants a baby by her side so that she can look after it and play with it occasionally. With someone to take care of the child, Su Zhiruan naturally agreed.
As soon as she finished speaking, the queen smiled again, "It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble, don't worry."
After everything was discussed, the emperor issued an imperial decree to confer the title of princess on Su Zhiruan. When the palace servants saw this, they all had their own thoughts.
Miss Su convinced the Emperor with her words, and conquered the heart of the Queen with her four children. Although all this happened too quickly, those who were able to stay and serve in the Imperial Court were all shrewd people. From now on, there will be more than just those few masters in the harem, there will also be one more Princess Royal.
Shen Qingman changed his clothes and hurried into the palace. Before he even reached the Purple Palace, he heard that Su Zhiruan had been canonized as a princess. His eyes widened immediately, "No way, so soon?"
"Your Highness, I also feel that it happened quickly. Your Highness the Princess went in and convinced the Emperor and the Empress in just a few words. Now the imperial edict has been announced to the world, and the court officials also know about it." Seeing that Shen Qingman had just arrived at this time, the eunuch briefly described the situation to him.
"She's so awesome?!" Shen Qingman's mouth twitched, "I just changed my clothes, she didn't bring any token or proof, and she was crowned a princess just by carrying her child in?!"
Shen Qingman was greatly shocked.
Originally, he thought that he would have to cry and make a fuss to make it go smoothly, but in the end, he didn't need to do that at all. Su Zhiruan could handle it by herself! "What about the court officials? Do they have any reaction?" Shen Qingman thought of the second thing he was most worried about. If the court officials collectively opposed it, then Su Zhiruan's seat as a princess would definitely not be stable.
At this time, another eunuch who followed the chief eunuch cried out "Ouch", bowed and said, "There is no need to worry about this. The court officials thought that Your Majesty just casually conferred the title on the princess on a whim, and no one even wrote a letter to the emperor."
The court ministers of Shen State were divided into two groups. One group believed that the country was about to be destroyed, so they simply laid back and stopped interfering. When they heard that the emperor had conferred a title on a princess, they thought that he was just acting on a whim. Anyway, a princess could not cause any big waves, so there was no need to rush to offend others. The other group was old-fashioned and pedantic, and they thought that the emperor must have a purpose for conferring a title on a princess at this time, and maybe it was to please the surrounding powers through marriage in the future. They thought it was just a tool for marriage, so they didn't care at all.
After Shen Qingman thought it through, he suddenly felt that his efforts these days had been in vain. He scratched his head, hesitating whether he should enter the palace again.
Before he did this, he thought of many possible difficulties, but in the end, none of them happened. Su Zhiruan naturally became a princess, and now the decree of her enthronement has spread.
"Didn't my father and mother call me the Crown Prince?" Shen Qingman asked again, not giving up.
The chief eunuch shook his head firmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. His Majesty and His Majesty did not mention you."
"Then... can I focus on catching monsters from now on?" A look of joy gradually appeared on his face, and even his fingers began to move.
The chief eunuch: “…”
"Wait a few more days and let me see what this sister is capable of." He rubbed his hands, wishing he could catch the monster right away.
"Your Highness, I will withdraw first." The head eunuch hurried away with the younger eunuch.

In just one day, the news spread throughout the palace.
The emperor had many concubines in his harem, but except the queen, no other concubine had children. Everyone had been the same for so many years, so even jealousy was rare. When they heard that the princess who had just returned from exile had given birth to four children, the entire harem was in an uproar, and almost everyone rushed to the queen's bedroom to see the children.
Concubine Shu held her breath, stood far away, but stared at the child eagerly.
Xia Xia woke up and saw her sight, but she didn't cry. Instead, she looked at her with her big eyes as clear and bright as grapes, and her small soft fingers scratched in the air.
Concubine Shu was instantly captured by the scene, "Oh my God... this is so cute!"
"Since you like it, why don't you go over and take a look," Defei twisted a string of Buddhist beads and looked at her. She walked forward and pinched the third brother's little feet, then turned to look at Shufei, "Mianmian, come up."
"I can't," Concubine Shu shook her head firmly, "I have perfume on my body and I'm afraid it will fumigate the child."
"Alright," the Queen made the final decision, "Stay away from the scented powder. Concubine Shu is right."
"Then we'll come again tomorrow!" Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu immediately stood up and took her leave.
Several concubines who were on good terms with her also stood up and took their leave.

Several people walked out of the Queen's bedroom and walked along Qianli Pond, chatting.
"Sister Shufei, whose child do you think this is?" a simple concubine of a lower rank asked.
"It's the child of the common princess that the emperor just found. Everyone knows this," the concubine who was on the other side of Concubine Shu answered her, "You don't think this is the emperor's child, do you?"
"This is it." Concubine Shu listened for a long time, and finally interrupted to make the final decision, "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance, she is so fair and tender, and looks pretty, she must be a princess from the common people."
"Will the arrival of a princess have an impact on us?" the concubine of lower rank asked timidly, "What if she is very capable and wants to mess with us?"
"She's just a princess, a princess who will destroy a small country. One more or one less doesn't matter." Concubine Shu drew her conclusion while breaking her armor.
* That's what they thought, and naturally everyone else thought so too.
Anyway, she is just a princess of a small country that is about to be destroyed. Whether there is one more or one less, or whether there is a blood relationship or not, these are irrelevant and not worth anyone's opposition.
This is like suddenly having an extra waiter in a restaurant, which doesn't matter much to the diners.
That's what they think.
