Chapter 883: Requesting for a Title
I have to say that selecting people is a big deal.
If you make a good choice, not only will you save yourself the trouble, but you will also avoid endless troubles.
It may even bring disaster.
What happened in the Empress's palace back then was probably closely related to the palace maids and eunuchs who served her.
As the saying goes, even an ant can kill an elephant, right?
"Thank you for your advice, Grandma. I will take this matter seriously." Xuanyuan Jin said solemnly, "When I have selected a candidate, I will definitely ask you to check it out."
He didn't say that he had to go there later.
The Empress Dowager naturally would not emphasize this point.
I sighed in my heart, thinking that my grandson might have other plans.
Princess Huaning looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Grandmother, why don't we go to Sister Fuya's Princess Mansion and see if there's anything missing so we can buy some?"
Princess Huaning glanced at Xuanyuan Jin after she finished speaking, then smiled and said, "No matter how attentive Third Brother is, he's still a boy, and he certainly doesn't know how a girl's boudoir should be decorated. It would be bad if he wronged Sister Fuya."
After Princess Huaning said this, the Empress Dowager was also moved.
As the granddaughter said, no matter how careful the grandson is, how could he decorate a little girl's boudoir?
Seeing the Empress Dowager's interest, Princess Huaning continued, "Grandmother, I have a rosewood orchid screen inlaid with jade. It looks quite elegant and exquisite. Why don't you have it sent to the Princess's Mansion and placed in Sister Fuya's room? Oh, and a pair of blue jade vases, too. They would go well with the screen..."
"Forget it, with all the stuff in your room, I might as well open the storehouse and pick out some new things." The Queen Mother said, "After all, we need to decorate Fuya's room properly."
When the palace maids serving in the hall heard the Empress Dowager say that she was going to open the storehouse, they couldn't help but envy Tang Bao's good fortune.
At the same time, he secretly decided that when the little girl named Fu Ya came, he would serve her well.
"Grandma really favors Sister Fuya." Princess Huaning said with a smile, "However, what Grandma gives is Grandma's. My granddaughter buys things for Sister Fuya out of her heart. I am happy to give my things to Sister Fuya..."
Princess Huaning said this and subconsciously touched her face.
Today, she no longer has to wear a veil.
The skin on her face is white and flawless, even better than before she got sick.
All of this was given to her by her sister Fuya.
The Queen Mother looked at her stunning granddaughter, smiled and nodded.
"It's fitting that it's Grandmother who's being narrow-minded." The Empress Dowager said, "Fuya deserves all the best things she can get..."
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following a slightly sharp "hello", Emperor Tianxi strode in with a smile on his face.
The palace maids, eunuchs and others in Ci'an Palace all knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Father."
Princess Huaning and Xuanyuan Jin immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
Emperor Tianxi's eyes sparkled with fatherly love, and he waved to his two children.
"Get up."
The Empress Dowager smiled and asked, "How did the Emperor find time to come?"
"I heard that your Majesty has some good tea, so I came here to ask for a cup."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately ordered the palace servants, "Go and brew a pot of the scented tea I brought from Daliushu Village for the Emperor to try."
"Yes." A senior palace maid hurried out to make tea.
After Emperor Tianxi sat down, he asked, "What are you talking about, my mother? Why are you so happy?"
"Let's talk about Fu Ya coming to the capital." The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Jin'er received the news that Fu Ya has already left and will be in the capital soon."
"This is great news." Emperor Tianxi said happily, "I haven't seen her for so many years. I miss that little girl a lot."
Xuanyuan Jin listened to Emperor Tianxi's words, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Since your father misses Tang Bao, he must not have forgotten what he promised Tang Bao. I hope your father will fulfill his promise when the time comes."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
The smile froze.
What did he promise?
As soon as Xuanyuan Jin saw Emperor Tianxi's expression, he knew that his father wanted to deny it.
"Father, a gentleman's word is as good as a promise. Father, you are the ruler of a country. Your words are golden. Do you think you can..."
"Jin'er!" The Empress Dowager interrupted Xuanyuan Jin and said, "Your father will certainly not break his promise! However, I am very curious about what your father promised. Why don't you tell me so that I can hear it too?"
The Empress Dowager remained calm and rescued the Emperor.
At the same time, it also prevented Xuanyuan Jin from saying anything disobedient and offending the emperor.
"My father promised that when Tang Bao grows up, he will confer the title of princess on her." Xuanyuan Jin said righteously.
The Empress Dowager: “…”
Isn’t Fuya a princess now?
The Empress Dowager looked at Xuanyuan Jin in confusion.
Emperor Tianxi snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that you want my father to confer the title again?"
Of course he remembers this!
Therefore, after receiving the news from the Empress Dowager, she immediately issued an edict to enthrone Tang Bao.
"Why not?" Xuanyuan Jin said, "After all, this is what my father promised himself."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
A stagnation.
I didn't expect that my son would come up with this idea.
"Do you want my father to depose Fuya from her title of princess and then re-confer her a title?" Emperor Tianxi asked unhappily.
But she knew in her heart that her son definitely didn't mean that.
This son is naturally extroverted and has devoted his whole heart to the little girl. All he does all day is plot against his father!
Two princesses?
There has never been a single person with two princesses in all dynasties!
Although Emperor Tianxi was very happy that his son returned to the palace, he felt upset when he saw his son's useless appearance!
"Of course not!" Xuanyuan Jin said, "Tang Bao hasn't done anything wrong. How could Father dethrone her as Princess? It's not that she's young and scared."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
He was not afraid that his father would be angry!
"So, according to you, should I confer the title again? She'll shoulder the ranks of two princesses and become a dual princess? What a joke!" Emperor Tianxi glared at Xuanyuan Jin and said, "There's no precedent for this in any dynasty!"
"Precedents are broken by people. There has been no precedent in all dynasties. My father is a wise ruler. It is just right for him to break this precedent and dare to be the first in the world. In this way, his name can be recorded in history and passed down through the ages." Xuanyuan Jin said confidently.
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Princess Huaning immediately nodded in agreement.
"Third brother is right!" Princess Huaning said, "Father, although there have been many wise and benevolent rulers throughout history, none can compare to you. If you confer the title of Double Princess on Sister Fuya, it would be truly wise!"
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Well, not only is my son an extrovert, my daughter is too!
Then, Emperor Tianxi heard the Empress Dowager say, "Your Majesty, Ning'er and Jin'er are right. Rules are made by people, and they are also broken by people. Since Fu Ya has made great contributions, she deserves a generous reward. Even if Your Majesty gives her the title of Princess, it is only natural."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Well, his mother is also biased towards the little girl.
