The moment Shao Lecheng opened his mouth outside the hall, everyone knew that Shao Lecheng was there to cause trouble.
But who would have thought that Mei'e, who was once one of the four concubines and gave birth to a prince for the emperor, was actually a dancer...
The people present began to discuss the matter, and Miao Qinghua's expression changed. She angrily shouted, "Stop slandering Concubine De here. Concubine De doesn't have a noble background, but she is a good dancer. She only impressed the emperor with her dancing skills. How can you call her a dancer?"
She shouted unhappily, "Come here, Your Highness, you have stayed in Canglie for so long. Didn't you come back to fulfill your filial piety? If so, then take us to the imperial mausoleum and kowtow to the late emperor!"
The guards rushed into the hall, and the atmosphere immediately became tense. Shao Lecheng's face was filled with displeasure: "The matter of establishing a new emperor is extremely important. How can I leave like this!"
Miao Qinghua sneered, "Don't want to leave? You call yourself the king, but Cang Lie's people must think you're the prince consort, right? What, Cang Lie's prince consort also wants to fight for the throne?"
"What exactly did the late emperor hear that day when he vomited blood? Do I need to repeat it again?"
The ministers all fell silent. Shao Lecheng frowned and moved closer to where Jing Yuchen was. "What did the Queen say?"
Jing Yuchen said with a cold face, "You should go see your father."
Shao Lecheng was stunned: "Hey, I spoke for you, you..."
Jing Yuchen turned his eyes and fell on him. Feeling the coldness in his eyes, Shao Lecheng shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, since you have no intention, there is no point in me arguing with you."
As he spoke, he looked at Miao Qinghua. "It was my father who bestowed upon me the title of Prince. I married Princess Gou Qiong for the sake of peace. It turns out that in my mother's eyes, I am so lowly that I became a consort to Canglie... Is my mother looking down on my father?"
After saying that, he walked out with a disdainful smile on his face.
Miao Qinghua's expression grew serious, but she was also glad that he was gone.
"My Lords, what do you think?"
"Mother, I remember you saying that you were behind the curtain not to govern, but to prevent our little brother from crying and causing a scene in the court. So, Mother, can you do this and not interfere in the affairs of the court?"
There was a faint smile on Jing Yuchen's devilish face. He stood in the hall with an upright posture, staring at Miao Qinghua without blinking. His confidence made everyone present feel outstanding.
Miao Qinghua's hands, hidden in her sleeves, tightened slightly.
"Mother, why don't you answer? Could it be that you want to..."
"Okay, I've never thought of being the one who disrupts the government!"
Miao Qinghua interrupted Jing Yuchen, her eyes were firm and her expression was extremely cold.
Jing Yuchen had a faint smile on his face, then he knelt on the ground and saluted: "Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Jing Yuchen saluted the little prince, and the others present naturally followed suit, kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison: "Long live the emperor."
After the court session, the ministers were still discussing the matter. Jing Yuchen took the lead and walked forward, as if there was nothing worth discussing with others.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Jing Yuchen frowned when he heard Shao Lecheng's voice coming from the room.
"De Fei is just a chess piece arranged by you. Your own son could become the emperor one day! Oh, and you were thinking that if Jing Yuchen becomes the emperor, I would at least be a prince, right? Then I can walk around the capital with my own way!"
"How disappointing!" He sighed, picked up the apple on the table, took a big bite, and ate it with great relish.
"If you were the emperor, I would be a prince and I could walk around the capital like a fool. How disappointing!"
Jing Yuchen repeated the same sentence in reverse, which made Shao Lecheng feel a little surprised.
He looked towards the door and snorted coldly, "How could I possibly be the emperor? I can't control this world!"
"If you have no intention of becoming the emperor, why should I have any?"
The two seemed to be about to quarrel. Ni Yueshan was somewhat helpless: "Let's stop arguing, change our clothes quickly, and have a meal together!"
There weren't many dishes on the table, just three dishes and a soup, with no meat or fish in sight. Shao Lecheng couldn't help but joke, "Has the Prince's Mansion run out of money? Are they just eating this?"
"The emperor has passed away. What do you want to eat?" Ni Yueshan looked at Shao Lecheng as if he was looking at an idiot.
Shao Lecheng coughed awkwardly: "I was thinking of taking advantage of you and coming to the capital to clean up some people and vent my anger. It seems that I was overthinking..."
He put his chopsticks on the table and didn't know what to eat.
Ni Yueshan said with a complicated expression, "It's so pleasant to be in Canglie, but you and Gou Qiong chose to come to Canglie to cause trouble. Eat."
Jing Yuchen was a little surprised: "Gou Qiong is coming back too?"
"She's pregnant, so the journey is very slow. It will probably take another two days for her to arrive!"
Although Ni Yueshan really wanted to have some fun, the two of them came back at a really bad time.
"When she comes back, if you can't vent the anger in your heart, Shao Lecheng, you'll be in trouble!" Ni Yueshan joked from the side.
Shao Lecheng's mouth twitched: "Stop scaring people here. A pregnant woman will hurt her fetus if she gets angry. What do I have to be afraid of?"
He stood up, obviously not in the mood to eat anymore.
"You guys take your time enjoying it. I might as well go to the temple, then hunt some game and eat something good!"
After saying that, he took a step and left.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen and said, "The young prince has become the new emperor, which means the Miao family has been reborn. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be the regent, right?"
Jing Yuchen, however, looked calm, as if he didn't care much, and said, "It's okay."
On the second morning, Miao Qinghua carried Ruo'er to court. Jing Yuchen was still a minister, but there was a new monarch sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your son has something to report!"
Jing Yuchen was the first to step forward, and everyone present looked at him.
"What do you want to report?" Miao Qinghua sat dignifiedly on the dragon throne, holding Ruo'er in her arms, with a serious face.
"I have been discussing the tribute with Tufan for some time, and today, we have finally reached a conclusion."
Everyone present felt that the amount of tribute was too large, enough to cause Xianchang to decline within a few years, so they all looked at Jing Yuchen excitedly.
"What's the result?" Miao Qinghua asked anxiously.
"I have already communicated with Tufan and have waived all tribute payments. However, I still need to send someone to sign a contract and promote friendly relations between the two countries. The person chosen..."
