A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 2035 The title of king, the position of crown prince is beyond doubt
The Ninth Prince held a full-month banquet to tell the world about Naibao's identity, so Naibao's full-month banquet was grand but not luxurious. It showed the importance attached to Naibao everywhere, but there was no extravagance or waste.
Feng Qingchen brought her baby to the back hall and sat with the other women. Feng Qingchen was not the queen mother yet, so these ladies did not need to kneel down for the time being. However, those who could come here were all smart people. Even though the edict to establish the queen had not been issued yet, everyone knew that Feng Qingchen was the future queen of Dongling.
The ladies were full of respect in their words and actions. They had already treated Feng Qingchen as the queen. Every sentence they said was full of compliments. The little baby had already been praised to the sky by them.
"Qiangqiang, your hands are really strong. You will definitely be extraordinary in the future." Naibao waved his little fist.
"The eldest prince and the emperor look exactly like they were printed from the same mold." In fact, Naibao looks more like Feng Qingchen, which is why the Ninth Prince indulges Naibao a little.
“Look at this look, so smart…” This baby is only one month old, and it’s really hard to tell what’s so smart about him, but I can be sure that he is not stupid.
"Ahh..." The little baby was annoyed by the ladies watching him and uttered a few "ahhh" sounds. When the ladies heard it, they immediately clapped their hands and said, "The eldest prince is smart. He is so young and he already calls people."
The praise along the way made Feng Qingchen frown... However, no matter what he was thinking, Feng Qingchen still had a smile on his face and did not show any impatience.
The higher you stand, the more low-key you should be. Given her status and position, no one dares to look down on her. Naturally, there is no need for her to be proud and act superior.
There were several ladies who had been treated by Feng Qingchen before. They thought that Feng Qingchen would dislike them, but when they saw that Feng Qingchen was still the same as before, they breathed a sigh of relief.
You know, when a person is in glory, the last thing he wants to see is the old friends who witnessed his downfall. They can be regarded as old friends who witnessed Feng Qingchen's downfall. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen is open-minded and doesn't take it seriously at all.
Feng Qingchen chatted casually with the ladies for a few words, and then the imperial edict arrived, which was the highlight of today's full moon banquet.
The eunuch sang loudly, asking Feng Qingchen to receive the order. Feng Qingchen was about to kneel down when she heard the eunuch say, "The Emperor said that Miss Feng must stand to receive the order." The Ninth Prince was reluctant to let Feng Qingchen kneel to him, so how could he let Feng Qingchen kneel to a eunuch?
Feng Qingchen naturally would not be hypocritical, she stood there calmly, and against the backdrop of the kneeling ladies, Feng Qingchen stood out even more. The ladies kneeling behind her all had mixed feelings in their hearts, but in the end they could only flatter her...
The imperial edict was simple, but the content was not simple at all, and it was even very weighty. Not to mention this group of ladies, even Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment.
The Ninth Uncle gave Naibao the name Dongling Rongrui, and at the same time made him a prince, and divided the fiefdom according to the prince's rank. Although it was the highest honor for the emperor to make a prince who had just turned one month old a prince, it was not without precedent, but Naibao's title was really a little special.
King Fengli!
That's right, the Ninth Prince gave Naibao the title of King Fengli, and stated that he would continue to use the seal of the previous King Fengli. As soon as this was said, even these ladies who didn't know much about politics understood what the Ninth Prince meant.
Is this to let the eldest prince inherit the throne of Fengli? But...
Where is the throne?
Could it be that the eldest prince could inherit both the Fengli throne and the emperor's throne? This, this...does this mean that the Fengli king will become the emperor, or that the emperor will shoulder the Fengli throne and then slowly swallow up the Fengli clan?
Of course, these matters were between the Emperor and Empress, and they did not need to worry about them. No matter what the truth was, once the imperial edict was issued, the matter would be settled. Although the Fengli King of the Fengli Clan was inherited from generation to generation by the Fengli Clan, he still needed an imperial edict. The Ninth Prince's edict was not a big problem, as long as the Fengli Clan recognized Naibao's identity.
After everyone was shocked, they gathered around Feng Qingchen to congratulate her. Feng Qingchen didn't know the content of the imperial edict beforehand, and she even just learned about Naibao's name. She was indeed stunned for a moment, and she didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would be so straightforward and acknowledge the existence of King Fengli.
Although she was shocked, Feng Qingchen did not reveal her flaws in front of others. She responded to the flattery of the ladies with a faint smile. When she saw that Naibao yawned, Feng Qingchen signaled to the wet nurse to take Naibao away.
Although Naibao is the protagonist today, he is a child and can't do anything. It mainly depends on Feng Qingchen to take charge of the situation.
The courtiers in the front hall learned the contents of the imperial edict one step later than the ladies. They were all very confused when they learned that the Ninth Prince had named Naibao as the King of Fengli. Although it was normal to confer a title of king before establishing a crown prince, what did it mean to confer the title of King of Fengli? Was the emperor going to deprive the eldest prince of his inheritance rights?
It was not until the Ninth Prince gave the military token handed over by Feng Liyou to Naibao that the court officials understood that the Ninth Prince conferred the title of King Fengli on Naibao in order to hand over the military power of the Fengli clan to Naibao in a legitimate manner.
With 300,000 soldiers and horses in hand, no matter how many princes are born in the future, no one can shake Naibao's position. Although he is not immediately named the crown prince, his position as the heir to the throne is unshakable. Even if he cannot become the emperor, he can establish himself as king in his fiefdom, and even the emperor dare not move.
"This is truly an incredible honor."
"This honor is truly beyond measure. Feng Li's daughter is really very resourceful!"
"Prince Fengli is still young, so it is better to give the military power to his mother rather than to him. Alas... it is hard to tell whether it is a blessing or a curse for a woman to hold great power."
…
All the ministers in the court, except Wang Jinling, regarded Feng Qingchen as a disaster. They all believed that the Ninth Prince doted on Naibao so much just for Feng Qingchen.
You have to know that Feng Qingchen has been reluctant to enter the palace, and the Ninth Prince has been resisting all the pressure and refusing to take her as queen. No one would believe that Feng Qingchen is not spoiled by her favor.
However, these people only dared to speak in private, after all, no one wanted to offend the current master or the next master. A few ministers who thought they were extraordinary and proud wrote letters to impeach, but the Ninth Prince did not even read them and threw them back.
When a minister asked about this in public, the Ninth Prince directly stated that Naibao was his designated heir, and everything he had and Feng Qingchen had belonged to Naibao. Even if he had a second or third prince, the throne and the Fengli throne would only belong to the eldest prince.
There are people who oppose, and naturally there are people who support. Smart people can see clearly that it is beneficial to the country if Naibao can inherit the throne of King Fengli. Although King Fengli must be conferred by the emperor's decree, the prerequisite is that the person conferred by the emperor must obtain the consent of the elders of the Fengli tribe. Otherwise, even if the emperor confers the title of King Fengli, the Fengli tribe will not obey.
Rather than saying that Naibao's throne as King Fengli was conferred by the Ninth Prince, it would be more accurate to say that it was inherited from Feng Qingchen. Without Feng Qingchen, the legitimate mother of Fengli, even if he was the eldest prince and the future emperor, he would not have been conferred the title of King Fengli.
This move also made everyone understand that Feng Qingchen, the legitimate daughter of Fengli, has a high prestige in the Fengli clan, and the entire Fengli clan has long been in the hands of this legitimate daughter!
