Chapter 184: Conferring Her the Title of Queen
There was tenderness in his eyes and his voice was particularly soft.
"From now on, he will be called Chengyun. He is my eldest son. I hope he will have a promising future and be able to carry on the destiny. His name is Xie Chengyun."
The civil and military officials looked at each other.
Thanks for the service.
Thank you for your support.
These two names are surprisingly compatible. One means accepting the will of heaven, the other means following one's wishes. One is to inherit the country and receive the mandate from heaven, the other can be free and easy and be himself.
Shen Yuanwei also thought that this name was good. She and the Xiao family members stood up along with all the ministers and kowtowed to the emperor and the two princes who were given names.
Everyone looked forward and witnessed reverently as the prince of the royal family recorded the names of the two princes in the royal jade book.
Even Xie Junlin himself was feeling particularly pious at this moment.
He looked at the blank space below the three words "Xie Junlin" where there had been no heirs, and finally added two names.
Thanks for the service.
Thank you for your support.
From today onwards, all the ancestors of the Xie family will know this good news in the underworld and will no longer worry about him or have dreams about him.
After watching the two names being announced, Xie Junlin smiled and handed the two children to the wet nurse.
He looked at Shen Yuanwei.
"I can have these two children, and Concubine Zhao has made great contributions."
"That day, I promised in the court that if I had a son and if Xiao Lingzhao could take Taihu Water Fort back from the bandits, I would give Taihu Water Fort to Concubine Zhao as her fiefdom and make her the Queen."
As soon as Xie Junlin finished speaking, there was a commotion below.
Shen Yuanwei also suddenly looked at Xie Junlin.
Is this a promise to be fulfilled?
She was finally able to obtain the status of a queen.
Xie Junlin raised his hand to signal the ministers to be quiet.
"I know that you, my dear ministers, have objections to the enthronement of the Queen, but I also said that day that this fiefdom was not given to Concubine Zhao herself. This fiefdom was given by me to her children. Now her children are still young, so she is in charge of it. When her children grow up and when she is old, this fiefdom will naturally be passed on to her children."
Xie Junlin looked at the child in the wet nurse's arms again.
He said, "Of these two children, only one can be the crown prince. The other one must be the prince. My own son, a dignified prince, it is not too much for him to have the Taihu Water Fort as his fiefdom, right?"
The ministers were speechless.
The emperor has only two children. It is normal for him to confer titles of prince on them now. What reasons do they have to object?
However, letting Concubine Zhao take charge of the fiefdom and let Concubine Zhao be the Queen, this...
This seems a bit strange.
Xie Junlin glanced at everyone and said, "Why, the mother of my two princes can even be a concubine, but can't be a prince?"
The ministers still hesitated.
Queen Wei looked at Prime Minister Wei and signaled with her eyes.
Prime Minister Wei immediately shouted, "Of course she can! The emperor only has two princes, and Concubine Zhao gave birth to two princes for the emperor. She can be the queen!"
He bowed his head and kowtowed, "This old minister is willing to obey the imperial decree and regard the birth mother of the two princes as the Queen!"
As soon as the old prime minister spoke, his son followed suit, and his disciples also responded.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The minor officials outside the hall did not know what was happening inside. When they heard the three shouts of "Long live the emperor" and "The emperor is wise", they quickly knelt down and shouted loudly for the emperor to be wise.
As a result, the few remaining old stubborn people had to give up their stance.
While they were shouting that the emperor was wise, they were also complaining about the group of people outside who were trying to join in the fun. They had no idea what was going on, but they still joined in the noise. It was so annoying.
Seeing that no one objected, Xie Junlin looked at Shen Yuanwei.
"Shen Yuanwei, listen to my orders."
"From today on, I will confer upon you the title of a county prince. Your title will still be Zhao. You are the Zhao County Prince. Do you have any objections?"
How dare Shen Yuanwei have any objection?
Although she wanted to be a prince, it was not easy to become a county prince. If she raised any more objections, she might not even get the title.
She kowtowed to express her gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
Xie Junlin hummed.
He had the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago read out in court and gave it to Shen Yuanwei.
Shen Yuanwei raised her hands above her head, holding the imperial edict, and turned to give Xiao Lingzhao a bright smile.
look.
She is now the Prince of Zhao.
Xiao Lingzhao was also sincerely happy for her.
At this time, Xie Junlin's voice came from above his head again.
"Xiao Lingzhao has spent four months recovering Taihu Water Stronghold, and his contribution is great. I should have rewarded him, but Taihu Water Stronghold has been given to your wife. You two are husband and wife, and if I reward your wife, it is equivalent to rewarding you. I believe you will not object, right?"
Xiao Lingzhao was not unhappy at all.
He did not feel unhappy that Shen Yuanwei had snatched away his reward.
He smiled and thanked him, "I have no objection. Even if I want something in my heart, it must be for my wife. If she gets it, I will be satisfied."
Xie Junlin felt sour when he saw Shen Yuanwei's touched expression.
He hated this about Xiao Lingzhao, as he always stole all of Shen Yuanwei's love with just a few words.
It was clearly he who gave Shen Yuanwei the fiefdom and the title of Prince, but Shen Yuanwei seemed to be more grateful to Xiao Lingzhao...
It's really frustrating.
Xie Junlin withdrew his gaze and looked at his fat son.
Looking at his fat son's big dark eyes, he finally found a little comfort from his fat son.
Only then did he stop feeling sad for Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao, and signaled the ministers to stand up and start the banquet.
At the banquet, everyone was drinking except Xiao Lingzhao, who didn't drink a drop.
A minister beside him toasted with a smile, "General, your wedding was held too hastily, and none of us had the chance to congratulate you or drink the wedding wine. Now that we have some wine, we'd like to toast you. You should at least give us some face, right?"
Xiao Lingzhao picked up his teacup and said, "I'm sorry, I can't drink alcohol today. If you don't mind, I can have tea instead of wine. How about that?"
The ministers asked curiously, "Why is it not appropriate to drink alcohol?"
Xiao Lingzhao did not look at Shen Yuanwei. He was afraid that if he looked at her, others would guess what she had done and Yuanwei would definitely be shy.
He lowered his eyes and said nonchalantly, "I got injured in Taihu Water Village and haven't fully recovered yet. Divine Doctor Song said I can't drink alcohol and I have to avoid spicy food, otherwise the wound will take a long time to heal."
The ministers suddenly understood, so they allowed Xiao Lingzhao to drink tea instead of wine. They raised their glasses from a distance and drank.
Sitting in the seat, Xie Junlin kept his ears perked up to listen to the movements from the Xiao family.
Can’t drink because you’re injured?
lie.
He had suffered many injuries when he took back his kingdom, but I have never heard of someone who can run and jump but cannot drink a little.
He looked at Xiao Lingzhao, then at Shen Yuanwei——
Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat!
etc!
Xiao Lingzhao doesn't drink, could it be that he wants to be with Shen Yuanwei tonight...
He remembered that Shen Yuanwei hated the smell of alcohol.
Is Xiao Lingzhao afraid that if he drinks, Shen Yuanwei won't let him go to her bed, so he doesn't drink at all?
Xie Junlin's heart sank little by little.
