Moreover, the prince of the fallen country now has no descendants.
With her, the legitimate princess's son, around, those "ministers" could rest assured, feeling that there would be "successors" to the throne, and they wouldn't have to worry about working hard only to be followed by internal strife and a struggle for the throne.
But her father cut off their financial support, and suddenly, their heir was gone...
What should be the outcome of this great undertaking?
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Cunyu felt that it would be a good idea to reveal her identity now. She was looking forward to the expression of the prince of the fallen country who was being teased.
According to calculations, the prince of the fallen country should be around 40 years old now. He didn't have a child when he was young, and now he is probably even more powerless.
After Xiao Cunyu expressed his attitude to his aunt, his aunt felt relieved.
That night, I talked to my husband about it.
The uncle also breathed a sigh of relief: "I also know that she is a carefree and easygoing child, otherwise she wouldn't have been away from home all these years. It's just that the crime of deceiving the emperor is so serious that I can only let her suffer. After this storm is over, she can do whatever she wants in the future. It's just drawing talismans. Let her draw after we clean up the house!"
"When the court was dismissed today, the emperor called me over to ask something. I didn't understand what the girl meant and didn't know how to respond to His Majesty. I could only say that I would go home and ask the children... At that time, the emperor was about to mention the third princess. Fortunately, the prince appeared and she was saved. Tomorrow morning I will go to His Majesty to apologize and say that I just learned the truth. At most I will be scolded a few times..." Minister Xiao also sighed.
Thinking about what his fifth brother had done, he also felt a headache.
Of course, there is more worry.
The fifth brother squanders his wealth and hides the gender of his child. What exactly does he want to do?
It’s a pity that the person is gone, and he can only remain confused about all this, and he is afraid that he will not be able to find out the truth.
Minister Xiao has already made plans.
However, the next morning, after he left court, he was about to go to the emperor to explain the situation when the eunuch appeared before him with the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Xiao Cunyu, the nephew of Minister Xiao, is a man of both virtue and talent, a true pillar of the nation. He is hereby granted the title of Third Prince Consort to Princess Baoyi, and a date will be chosen for their marriage!"
“…” As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Minister Xiao was stunned and dumbfounded.
He knelt on the ground, naturally unwilling to accept the order, "Eunuch, where is His Majesty? I have something important to tell you..."
"Sir Xiao, His Majesty said that Princess Baoyi is a legitimate princess. It is a blessing for Xiao Qilang to marry her after three lifetimes of cultivation. After His Majesty returns, the Ministry of Rites will prepare all the marriage matters. Xiao Qilang just needs to be a son-in-law. His Majesty has a slight headache today and has gone to the harem to rest. He will summon you when His Majesty is free." After the eunuch said this, he stuffed the imperial edict into Minister Xiao's hand and left.
There were other colleagues around, so Minister Xiao couldn't just yell, "You said my nephew is a woman..."
He looked anxious and immediately wanted to catch up, but his colleagues next to him rushed over.
"Congratulations, Master Xiao! I never thought that Mr. Xiao Qilang could marry a master! It's truly remarkable!"
"Sir Xiao Qi is unrivaled in talent and appearance. I was thinking of marrying him to a wealthy family, but I didn't expect His Majesty to pick him up and even promise him a legitimate princess. This shows that His Majesty has great trust and respect for Sir Xiao..."
“…”
Minister Xiao's head was buzzing as he listened to these words.
"Mr. Xiao has something else to do! I'll take my leave first!" Minister Xiao was anxious, and he knew that it was absolutely impossible to find the emperor at this moment, so he left immediately. After returning home, he asked someone to contact the spies in the palace.
Soon, the news came.
