Chapter 573 Shock



Everyone looked at Jiang Si, and then at the baby in the nurse's arms.

The Princess of Yan is dignified, virtuous and virtuous?

How could the emperor say such offensive words?

As for whether this little girl has her mother's charm, it's even funnier. The emperor has never seen this tiny little baby!

She was given the title of Princess on the third day after she was born, which was the treatment of a legitimate princess.

Not to mention Princess Qi, even the other princesses who were newly-married princesses had stiff smiles on their faces.

Is the Emperor's astonishing act intended to drive people crazy with jealousy?

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Xiao Lezi coughed lightly and said, "Princess Yan, thank the young princess on her behalf."

Jiang Si took the imperial edict in both hands and thanked him solemnly.

"Princess, please get up. We are going back to report." Xiao Lezi said with a smile and glanced at Ah Huan quickly.

I don't know what's so special about this little baby that the emperor would canonize him right away. Not to mention these nobles, even he was surprised.

"Sorry to trouble you, father-in-law." Jiang Si gave Aqiao a wink.

Ah Qiao immediately presented the reward and sent Xiao Lezi out.

"Ahem, the little princess has been favored by the emperor since she was born. Congratulations, princess." A princess who had just left the palace coughed, breaking the strange atmosphere.

As if they were cast under a spell by a fairy, the crowd finally came to their senses, sorted out their complicated feelings, and congratulated Jiang Si one after another.

Even when these people returned to their respective homes, their emotions were still mixed.

In the Cixin Hall of the Dongping Marquis's residence, Madam Feng stood up after hearing what Third Madam Guo said: "What? The Emperor actually made the princess' daughter a princess?"

Guo lowered her head and said, "My daughter-in-law was in the hall at the time and saw the princess receiving the decree with her own eyes."

I saw with my own eyes that Jiang Si accepted the order, so it was definitely true.

Old Madam Feng sat back slowly, her eyes blank.

Is she old and can't understand the world anymore?

Jiang Si was a girl with a bad temper. Although she felt proud to marry her into the palace, she was always worried, fearing that this girl would get into trouble someday because of her bad temper.

Although it is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, it is different if she marries into the royal family. Once she commits a crime, her parents' family will be implicated.

The Princess of Jin is a right before our eyes example.

Not long after Prince Jin and his family went to guard the imperial mausoleum, Princess Jin's father was demoted and left the prosperous capital with his family to serve as an official in the local area.

But why did Jiang Si always surprise her?

The Emperor praised the fourth girl for her elegance and virtue—Old Lady Feng shook her head as she thought about it.

The one who was even more confused than Old Madam Feng was Princess Qi.

At this time, the King of Qi had not received the news yet and was discussing matters with his staff in the study. Suddenly, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the princess is back. Please come over."

The King of Qi frowned subconsciously.

Li was always sensible and seldom disturbed him when he was busy. Since he was asked to come over, there must be something wrong.

Thinking that the Princess of Qi had returned from the Prince of Yan's Palace, the Prince of Qi realized that it was related to the Prince of Yan again.

Lately, anything related to Old Seven always makes him nervous, and he doesn't know what's going on this time.

Prince Qi hurried over and immediately saw the complicated expression on Princess Qi's face.

"What's wrong?"

Princess Qi signaled the waiters to leave, pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, do you know what happened at the third-day bathing ceremony at Prince Yan's mansion today?"

"Just say it, how would I know?" Prince Qi frowned.

Nothing good, definitely nothing good.

Princess Qi's expression became more and more complicated, and she said slowly: "My father has conferred the title of Princess Heshu on the eldest daughter of Prince Yan."

The King of Qi was completely stunned.

Princess He Shu?

After wiping his face, the King of Qi said fiercely: "Is my father confused?"

The King of Qi, who was considered calm and polite by the world, had never lost his composure like this.

Princess Qi's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."

No matter how much you think the emperor is old and confused, you can't say it out loud.

"Your Highness, what do you think our father is thinking? How can he give a title to a baby who is only three days old..."

Prince Qi rubbed his temples, calmed down, and sneered, "It seems that father remembers the contributions made by the seventh son in Qianhe County."

Speaking of Yu Jin's great contributions to Qianhe County and his good reputation among the people, Princess Qi was speechless and even thought to herself: If it was the prince who went to Qianhe County, he probably wouldn't have performed as well as the Prince of Yan.

Prince Qi regained his composure and thought it was a good thing: "It's good this way. She's a daughter anyway. She'll be given a title. No matter how noble or special she is, she's still just a princess. It's better than my father always remembering the seventh child's contribution and finding a job for him somewhere else."

"Your Majesty is right."

King Qi glanced at Princess Qi and sighed: "Don't focus on this anymore. Taking good care of your body and giving birth to a legitimate son for me as soon as possible are more important than anything else."

Princess Qi shuddered and nodded gently, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

Although she recovered her spirits after this miscarriage, her menstrual periods became increasingly irregular. It would take her a while to recover and get pregnant.

Thinking of this, Princess Qi sighed inwardly and forced a smile, saying, "My Lord, I have picked out two clever and well-behaved maids for you. Would you like to take a look and choose one to serve you tonight?"

The Prince of Qi had no interest in the concubines chosen by the Princess of Qi, and said indifferently, "The women we chose in the past all gave birth to girls. Princess, don't be too rigid. Maybe you can try to pick two women with outstanding looks."

This Li, all the concubines he had were mediocre women. It would have been fine if they couldn't give birth to sons, but the daughters he gave birth to all looked like their mothers, none of them was outstanding. Just thinking about the situation in a dozen years makes one feel depressed.

In the end, she is just a fake virtuous woman who is reluctant to give him two beautiful concubines.

As Prince Qi thought about this, his dissatisfaction with Princess Qi deepened, but he naturally did not show it on his face.

Princess Qi squeezed her hands tightly in her sleeves and said with a faint smile: "I understand."

"Then I'll go to the study. Princess, please take a rest first."

Back in the study, Prince Qi mentioned to his staff the fact that Prince Yan's eldest daughter had been canonized.

The staff stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry about this, Your Majesty. The Prince of Yan is the seventh son, and he has to take a backseat to Your Majesty in everything. There is only one thing Your Majesty needs to do now, which is to make that person fall down again as soon as possible..."

King Qi nodded silently.

The aides were right, the prince was the biggest stumbling block, as long as he occupied that position, others could only watch in amazement.

Fortunately, you have to find some leverage to deal with others, and the idiot prince is full of leverage, making it hard to know where to start.

Let's take it step by step.

In June, another incident occurred.

Yu Jin's birthday is in June, and he turned twenty this year, which means he has reached adulthood. When a man has reached adulthood, he has truly reached adulthood.

The crowning ceremony for the prince had to be held in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The whole process was complicated and solemn, so there is no need to go into details.

June passed in the blink of an eye, and Prince Yan's Mansion welcomed Princess Heshu's full-month ceremony.

Unlike the third-day bath ceremony, which only invites close female relatives, the full-month ceremony will include a grand banquet for guests.

This time, even the prince came.
