The normally steady ministers couldn't hold back any longer and looked at this scene with dumbfounded eyes. Some of them didn't even notice that their wine glasses had been poured.
They vaguely remembered the gossip that had been secretly circulating in the imperial city during this period - the emperor was planning to confer a new county king on his fortieth birthday. Everyone had previously speculated that he wanted to adopt a son for the eldest princess.
Basically, they are all around the princes and counties.
In the end, it was Yuan Suijun who sat in that seat?
They did not deny Yuan Suijun's talent and ability, but the pie fell on him, which made everyone unconvinced. There was no shortage of people in the court who had more meritorious service than Yuan Suijun, and they all benefited from him.
Someone occupied it?
The emperor doesn't seem to be such a foolish person. If he gives an outsider the title of a county king for no reason, how can those relatives of the emperor not hesitate?
Some older ministers thought of Yuan Suijun's face which was quite similar to that of the late emperor, and their expressions changed from shock to deep thought.
The ones who were most stimulated were undoubtedly Prince Zhen and Princess Zhen. They both regarded the new prince as their own, but now they were snatched away by Yuan Suijun.
Fortunately for Prince Zhen, he could still pretend to be indifferent (although veins were popping out on the back of his hands under the table), but not so for Princess Zhen Xi Miao. She couldn't stop the anger and hatred in her eyes when she looked at Yuan Suijun.
.
Especially when Princess Zhen recalled what Su Yueling said to the queen, her face felt as if she had been slapped hard several times.
Su Yueling definitely knew it a long time ago!
When she said those words in front of her at that time, she was deliberately showing off to her.
But my family has always been self-indulgent.
Her poor Ping'er... the title of the county king was taken away from her.
As one of the few hereditary princes, Nanwangfu has a transcendent status in the capital. However, Nanwangfu has always been very self-aware and never got involved in those disputes. The current Nanwang is still the emperor's uncle, Rong Ji.
Ji still has some trust in the character of this emperor's uncle and discussed this matter with him yesterday.
So King Nan deliberately said: "Your Majesty, is there something inappropriate about the position of Minister Yuan?"
His purpose is to lead to the following words logically.
Everyone else couldn't help but nodded, that was quite inappropriate. They looked at Nan Wang with admiration for someone who dared to speak out. Only with Nan Wang's status, the emperor would give him some face.
Emperor Rong Ji said in a deep voice: "Is there any problem with his seat?"
King Nan said calmly: "His seat is above Prince Zhen and below the prince."
Rong Ji's lips curled up and he said, "Yuan Shaoqing's position is correct."
"I am going to confer him the title of Rongjun Prince."
Rong Jue's mentality is about to collapse. Rong's title is better than his title. As the son of the late emperor, he should be suppressed by a young boy? How unreasonable!
King Nan continued: "There should be a reason for the canonization of the county king, otherwise it will cause the world to speak out."
Emperor Rong Ji looked around, taking in the dissatisfaction of everyone.
The canonization of Yuan Suijun as the princess is more exciting than that of Su Yueling. On the one hand, Su Yueling's contribution is real. If she is not canonized, it will arouse criticism from the people. On the other hand, Su Yueling is a woman, no matter her status,
Even if they are noble, they cannot engage in politics. But the king of the county is different. A new king of the county is a new force. Originally, Yuan Suijun's holy family was enough, but their status was insufficient, but a county king is enough to make up for all the shortcomings.
How can those aristocratic families and nobles accept this?
A person who was just a commoner a few years ago is now weighing on them.
The eldest princess, who had been silent all this time, spoke, and her cold voice came out.
"I am the only legitimate son of this palace. Is this status enough to be canonized as a county king?"
There was a thunder on the ground, and everyone was stunned, and many people took a breath of air.
Didn't it say that the eldest princess's son is dead? Yuan Suijun is Rong Xiang's son?
This, when did this happen?
Princess Zhen couldn't help but shake her head and murmured: "It's impossible..."
As if he didn't think it was exciting enough for them, Rong Xiang continued to emphasize, "Shaoqing is my long-lost son."
When she said this, a faint mist appeared in her eyes, but the joy in her eyes was so clear.
"When I met him, I felt a sense of intimacy. So I asked the emperor to investigate his life experience. After a long investigation, whether it was birthmarks or infancy, everything was correct."
"He is my son, the real deal."
Her voice fell clearly on everyone's ears, and her tone was so firm that she did not tolerate questioning.
The others looked at each other in confusion. The eldest princess recognized Yuan Suijun's identity, and so did the emperor. Looking at the empress dowager's smiling face with unconcealed love, it was obvious that they all knew in their hearts that this was all right.
Who dares to come forward to refute?
The whole place was silent as everyone was still trying to digest this shocking news.
There were also some sensitive ministers who recalled that when the emperor Rong Ji announced that Rong Bo was the son of the eldest princess, the eldest princess, as her biological mother, had always been cold and indifferent to Rong Bo.
Their hearts twitched involuntarily... Did the eldest princess realize at that time that Rong Bo was not her son?
What they were curious about was, when did the emperor know about this? The only thing that was certain was that when the news broke out some time ago, Yuan Suijun must have been identified. No wonder even the prince's court uniform was ready.
As a result, they all thought wrongly and thought they were planning to adopt a child for the eldest princess.
Many courtiers and wives who had recovered their senses couldn't help but cast their eyes on the people in Prince Zhen's Mansion - Prince Zhen's Mansion had made a lot of moves some time ago.
Prince Zhen was naturally aware of those hidden gazes, and his face was burning. He could only lower his head and drink silently.
He just felt that his previous actions were like a clown and very embarrassing.
King Nan showed a matching expression of excitement and nostalgia, "It turns out that Shaoqing is actually Xiangxiang's son, and he is also my grand-nephew. No wonder when I first met him, I felt kind-hearted, as if I had seen the late emperor."
Especially the temperament, they are exactly the same. It is obvious that Yuan Suijun never grew up in the royal family. This may be the wonder of blood relationship.
King Nan was really happy. After all, Yuan Suijun was so good at it. He had a handsome appearance. He was also the first person in Daxia to reach the third place in the Yuan Dynasty. He wished that his grandsons could be 10% as good as Yuan Suijun.
ability.
Most of the other clan members felt that they were proud of themselves, so they changed their previous displeasure and congratulated the eldest princess and Yuan Suijun on the reunion of mother and son.
Among them, the most injured ones are undoubtedly Prince Zhen and Princess Zhen.
Su Yueling, who was sitting closest to Princess Zhen, deliberately used Princess Zhen to block her, "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, right, Princess Zhen?"
Princess Zhen was so angry that she just wanted to scratch Su Yueling's proud face - God is unfair! This chapter has been completed!
