If Your Majesty was an emperor in his forties or fifties without any children, these ministers would certainly be in favor of adoption. However, Your Majesty is only in his twenties now, let alone a prince. As long as he is willing, it is not impossible for him to have ten children a year!
To be adopted at such a young age?! How can this be tolerated?
All the civil and military officials in the capital were shocked.
Continue to advise.
However, they also had a bad premonition. Ever since Emperor Dingyuan ascended the throne, he never regretted anything he decided. Take the selection of concubines for example. They would persuade him several times every month, year after year, but His Majesty just wouldn't give in.
In order to impress His Majesty, the ministers of various families tried their best to fill the harem with people, thinking that as long as someone could have sex with His Majesty, things would be easy in the future. However, there were so many beautiful palace maids, and many of them were seduced by all means, but none of them could climb onto the dragon bed.
Now that His Majesty is planning to adopt a child, won’t the selection process in the future be even more difficult?
At this time, Ying Huaiji also had patience.
He also summoned ministers who wanted to meet him. Seeing that the ministers were talking until their mouths were dry, he would considerately ask the eunuchs to bring them tea and listen all the time.
However, after listening for a few days, he remained calm and only said one sentence, asking the royal family members to enter the palace.
The ministers were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
It is as hard as a brick and as solid as an iron wall.
After a month of this, the ministers had no new words to offer and could only watch helplessly as the smiling emperor issued his decree.
Xiao Cunyu only learned about Ying Huaiji's adoption two months after the decree. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions, bitterness and sadness.
This kind of sadness made her feel uncomfortable all over. It was the first time in her life.
"Brother Jingmao, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Kairui grinned as he stared at the dark-skinned young man before him. "I do admire Your Majesty. In this world, apart from my perverse and playful sister, who else can be so carefree and unrestrained? This is especially true for emperors. Their every word and action must be a role model for the world. If they act even slightly willfully, they will listen to the nagging of their ministers and feel the dissatisfaction of the world. Your Majesty has worked hard for others all his life, and has never had freedom since he was a child. Now, why not be willful for yourself?"
"The world is not without heirs. The descendants of the royal family are still related to Your Majesty by blood. Your Majesty can train them personally and they will surely become wise and virtuous. It will not be harmful to the country." Xiao Kairui said as he drank.
Xiao Cunyu sat opposite his sixth brother.
At this moment, her face was thinner, less childish, and looked more stable.
Before coming to Yunzhou, Xiao Cunyu stayed in Haiti for a while and got a little tanned. He thought of his good brother Zhou Jingmao and felt very emotional.
So when she met her sixth brother, Xiao Cunyu avoided him from recognizing her, and threw aside the habit of "not changing one's name or surname" and called herself: Xiao... Jingmao.
She thought it would be interesting to change her identity.
I have many friends, so I can change my name to: Xiao Jialu, Xiao Ling, Xiao Feng...
All good!
"Sixth Brother Xiao, I heard that your sister is the most extraordinary person in the world! How can she be as playful as you said?" Xiao Cunyu filled Xiao Kairui's glass with wine.
"Hey! Brother, you don't know, originally... originally, that was my brother. Although we haven't been together since childhood, I have always thought about him. But suddenly one day, my eldest brother wrote to me and said that my brother is a girl! Do you understand how I feel?!" Xiao Kairui covered his heart. "I had thought that when I return to Beijing in the future, I would go horseback riding and hunting with her, and drink with her. Now... it's all gone!"
