Chapter 590 Who dares to snatch her man...
In April, Xiling is full of vitality.
The imperial city is particularly lively this spring, and smiling people can be seen everywhere.
Even the street vendors were extra welcoming when they greeted customers, saying, "Great deal today! 10% off everything at our stall! Come take a look if you're passing by!"
"It's really great joy, hahaha! Our Xiling Crown Prince is back! Today we're going to have the crowning and seal-granting ceremony!"
"I heard the entire court was jubilant! I even saw Lord Xia's carriage enter the palace today!"
"Hey! Lord Xia hasn't attended court in years! Did he go today?"
"They've come! Not only Lord Xia, but General Shi has also come to court! He's wearing the imperial robes and wants to see the Crown Prince receive the seal with his own eyes!"
"Come on, everyone wants to wait for the first-hand news, right? Come to my Huayue Teahouse, have some tea, sit back and wait! Today, tea and snacks are 20% off! Be my Huayue Teahouse and congratulate the prince!"
"Your old, shabby little teahouse still wants first-hand information? Forget it! Come to my Fulai Teahouse! Tea and snacks are 25% off!"
“…” He copied others’ ideas and stole their business! You’re a villain!
It’s lively outside the palace, and even more lively inside.
Many old ministers who were already old and had to use crutches, despite their old age and difficulty walking, forced themselves to come and watch the ceremony, to see the only male member of their Xiling royal family.
The ceremony of bestowing the seal upon the crown prince was extremely grand.
All the civil and military officials were present in the Golden Palace, standing at attention.
The prince was dressed in an apricot-yellow dragon robe. After hearing the announcement, he walked gracefully from outside the hall. He was as beautiful as a jade mountain and orchid, and his beauty was unique.
The queen sat on the dragon throne, looking at the person walking towards her step by step. There was a blush at the corners of her eyes and tears in her eyes.
She stood up and walked down the steps, went to greet him personally, put the crown of the crown prince on his head, and gave him the seal of the Eastern Palace.
This is her child.
It took him a full twenty-eight years before he was finally able to stand openly in the Xiling court, in front of her.
The eldest princess and the second princess stood on one side in formal palace attire. The two sisters watched the scene quietly with tears in their eyes, feeling filled with emotion.
Many court officials in the two rows below were also wiping away tears.
"Good, good! I, Xiling, finally have a successor!"
"As expected of my Prince Xiling, his every move is full of aura! Even if he's being raised outside, he's still very well-maintained!"
"Hmph, my Xiling is a great country, and I, the Crown Prince of Xiling, should have such a powerful aura and such an arrogant demeanor! Anyone who disagrees, come find me, Shi Jing!"
"Hahahaha, God bless Xiling!"
For so many years, they, a group of old ministers, watched the royal heirs die one after another, and their heartache was no less than that of the empress and the two princesses.
In the decades that followed, the royal family had no more children. How could they not be disheartened?
Although Xiling was powerful and prosperous, the Xiling royal family was gradually declining, as if they were on a countdown, and their enthusiasm for governing the country was gradually waning.
It was also because the empress had closed the country for many years that there was no opposition in the court.
What is there to fight for? What is there to strive for?
The ending is foreseeable.
It would be better to close the country and let the people live more peacefully before the Xiling Mountains collapse.
But I didn’t expect that after turning a corner, such a big surprise would pop up!
God bless Xiling!
…
By the time the process was finished, it was almost noon.
When the court officials left the hall, their excitement and enthusiasm had not subsided and they discussed heatedly with each other.
"With the Crown Prince back in the court, Xiling has a bright future! But the Crown Prince is already twenty-eight years old, so isn't it time to bring up the matter of the Crown Princess?"
"That makes sense! Prince, get married soon and have children for Xiling sooner rather than later! Let's see who dares to laugh at Xiling being a stagnant pool!"
"Everyone, we can draft the memorial when we get back! There are many noble ladies of suitable age from various families. We will submit their portraits and let the Emperor and the Crown Prince choose carefully!"
The more they discussed it, the more it seemed to be true. It was as if a memorial was to be submitted today with a portrait, the prince would get married tomorrow and have a child the day after tomorrow, and the Xiling royal family would immediately have ten or eight more descendants.
The eldest princess and the second princess walked slowly behind the ministers, listening to their excitement and anticipation, and their lips twitched.
The Second Princess raised her red lips, stepped forward a few steps, and patted the hand of Elder Xia, who was the most worried. "Elder Xia, everyone, please don't worry about the Crown Prince's marriage. He has a plan in mind. Please don't write any memorials or send any portraits to disrupt the Crown Prince's plans. With his temper, he will immediately take off his robes and leave."
"Second Princess, what do you mean by that? Could you please explain it more clearly, so that we don't end up doing something bad with good intentions?"
"The prince has someone in his heart. They will get married in June! The princess consort is Su Jiuni!"
Elder Xia almost threw his cane away, "..."
Civil and military officials, "..."
Then, they really don’t need to worry about it!
Their prince and Princess Su Jiuni of Mingyue of Dayue are actually a couple!
Why didn’t you tell them earlier? If you had told them earlier, who would have gotten involved in this matter?
If you offend the Crown Prince, the Empress and the two princesses will still cover for you. If you offend Su Jiuni——
Xiling’s national strength and combat capability are not stronger than Nansang’s in the past.
Besides, with Princess Su Jiuni as the Crown Princess, there is no place for other noble ladies.
Who dares to snatch a man from her...cough.
The ministers scattered with grins on their faces.
Xiling’s future is more stable!
The eldest princess stood at the back, watching the ministers scatter like birds and beasts, and then looked at her second sister who was smug after doing something bad, and she couldn't help laughing.
It’s great that the haze in Xiling has dissipated.
"Eldest sister, shall we go and chat with third sister?" The second princess turned around, let go of the past, and smiled brightly.
After staying in Tubei Village for two or three months, I can say the word "chat" very fluently.
The eldest princess walked over, took her arm and continued walking out of the palace, saying angrily, "You mischievous girl. Third sister doesn't have time for us right now, so don't bother her. She and Bai Kui have finally been together after so many years, so leave the time for them."
As soon as the court meeting was over, the news quickly spread outside the palace walls.
First, the prince's seal-receiving ceremony was completed.
One is the Crown Prince’s wedding in June, and the Crown Princess is Princess Mingyue Su Jiuni!
The imperial city, which was already like boiling water, now seemed to be thrown into a frying pan and exploded completely.
If it's like this outside, let alone in the palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids took every opportunity to frequently go back and forth in the imperial garden, just to take a closer look at the future Crown Princess who was enjoying the scenery in the garden pavilion.
There were many people sitting scattered in the pavilion by the lake.
Tianbao, Poison Old Man, Su Wu, Little Wheat Ear, Su An and Bing'er.
Bai Yu wanted to come back to reassure his subjects, so they followed him, treating this as a journey to join in the fun.
Nanny Jin, ordered to entertain the distinguished guests, stopped the palace maid who was serving tea for the sixth time and helplessly scolded her, "That's enough. How many times has this happened? How can we enjoy the scenery with all these distinguished guests coming and going? You're becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. Do you really think I won't punish you?"
In less than an hour, eunuchs and palace maids came to serve tea six times, and each time it was a different person.
It hasn't stopped yet.
The maidservant was reprimanded but was not afraid. She stared at the woman in green in the pavilion with shining eyes, "Mammy, the Crown Princess is so beautiful!"
Nanny Jin, “…”
Nanny Jin, "Forget it this time. Go down and tell the people below that you are not allowed to come here again without being summoned! Bring the tea over."
The maid's eyes lit up even more. "Yes! Thank you, Madam!"
It turned out to be right to listen to the seniors. As long as I praise the Crown Princess to the nanny, I will definitely not be punished!
But the Crown Princess is really beautiful!
Her facial features are elegant and refined, her skin is as flawless as white jade, but she does not have the affectation of an ordinary woman. Her whole body exudes a coolness that no man can match, domineering and relaxed.
So charming!
