Chapter 844 Princess Please Be Careful of the Threshold
Compared with that of Dazhao Kingdom, the imperial palace of Yanchu Kingdom was grander and wider.
If the father-in-law who was leading the way hadn't kept emphasizing that this was the imperial palace, Qin Jiaoxi would have thought that he was visiting the imperial city.
Han Zhan clicked his tongue and said: "It seems that Yanchu is indeed a very rich country!"
Eunuch Chen smiled: "Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors!"
Bo Jiming shrugged and said, "That's right."
"There is no war externally and no struggle for the right to inherit the throne internally. As long as the king is a little normal and only wants to run the country well, the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
No wonder the merchants' businesses in the Yanchu Kingdom are three times more than those in the Dazhao Kingdom. This three times the industry is probably more than three times the profit!
But the trouble is that the people who are in charge of merchants' industries in Yanchu Kingdom are affiliated with merchants.
Shang Fengyi once mentioned that the income this person returned to Dazhao Kingdom has been getting smaller and smaller year by year in the past few years. He probably wanted to settle down in Yanchu Kingdom and completely break away from the merchants.
But that's not something he needs to worry about.
Merchants have been able to do business in dozens of countries across the continent for hundreds of years, so they naturally have the means to pass on business.
If any side bloodline can easily break away from the merchants, how can it be so rich that it can rival the country?
The group of people walked for more than an hour before arriving at the Longxi Palace, where the emperor's daily activities took place.
However, when they arrived, they found that Meng Yinqin and the Supreme Emperor had already arrived at Longbao Hall in a carriage.#@$&
There were many more courtiers staying in the palace waiting for the new emperor than those who were able to participate in the sacrifice before.
Even the officials who supported the prince and arranged their family affairs, who had fled back to the main hall first, did not dare to run away. Instead, they returned to the palace to wait for the new emperor to succeed to the throne.
Someone had returned to the palace before to talk about Meng Yinqin's affairs. Now that it is known that the new emperor has been replaced, all the ministers look panicked, especially those who support the prince. They all want to leave but dare not.
appearance.
Based on this alone, Meng Yinqin felt that the Yanchu Kingdom was quite malleable.
Qin Jiaoxi and the other three were waiting outside the main hall for Meng Yinqin to receive an audience from the courtiers.%&(&
Bo Jiming originally wanted to find a place for Qin Jiaoxi to rest, but Eunuch Chen said that the new emperor had other arrangements, so he waited for another half an hour.
Finally, when Meng Yinqin had finished meeting with all the ministers, and before the Supreme Emperor could discuss the next matter with him, he summoned Qin Jiaoxi into the hall.
"Everyone!"
Meng Yinqin said calmly: "This is my only daughter, Qin Jiaoxi!"
Suddenly, all the ministers raised their heads and looked at him in shock.
"The emperor only has one daughter?"
"No son?"
"this……"
"Does the emperor have a concubine? Does the emperor have a candidate for the throne?"
Meng Yinqin nodded: "Yes!"
The ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter, as long as you have a wife, you will also have children.
But Meng Yinqin said again: "Even so, I only have one daughter!"
For a moment, the courtier did not realize what he meant by his words.
Meng Yinqin said again and again: "I only have this one child in this life!"
"So there is no prince, no prince, only one princess!"
Qin Jiaoxi looked at Meng Yinqin blankly: "Dad?"
Meng Yinqin corrected him: "Call me father!"
Qin Jiaoxi nodded subconsciously: "Father, what are you doing..."
Meng Yinqin knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted: "That's it for now, let's talk about the future!"
The courtiers quickly calmed down.
Although I was surprised that there was only one princess and no prince, the emperor looked young.
When the time comes, the harem will be filled and it will be able to regenerate.
Besides, what if you don’t give birth?
Didn’t the Supreme Emperor have eight sons, and none of them had moon marks?
So what if there are no heirs?
Especially the old ministers who have gone through two consecutive dynasties and are not the emperor's heirs to inherit the throne are now numb.
After dealing with the courtiers who were meeting for the first time, Meng Yinqin didn't bother to discuss any arrangements with the Supreme Emperor. He took Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming out of the hall first.
He did not introduce Bo Jiming's identity in the main hall, but since he said that he only had one daughter, the officials assumed that Bo Jiming was Qin Jiaoxi's personal bodyguard.
Outside the palace, Eunuch Chen has made arrangements to drive a few people towards the harem.
As a princess who suddenly appeared, Qin Jiaoxi might not be able to rest today. She had to go see the Queen Mother first.
…
Today, when the late emperor abdicates the throne and the fireworks at the sacrificial platform are set off, it means that a series of upgrades in the palace must be arranged in advance.
Therefore, the original empress dowager and dowager were upgraded to the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and the empress was also upgraded to the empress dowager.
The Crown Princess Tang Jingxian couldn't wait to move into the Queen's Fengwu Palace early in the morning. She wore the bright red dress with the phoenix dancing for nine days that had been embroidered by the embroidery workshop early in the morning, and sat dignifiedly in the palace waiting for the return of the Crown Prince.
News from the harem has always been slower to spread than outside.
What's more, there is no competition for the royal family. The targets of all the women are still on their opponents. The crown prince's eyes are almost always on a few concubines who are very threatening to her. No one pays too much attention to today.
inheritance.
Who would have thought that this wait would last two hours.
Some people can no longer sit still.
"Sister Crown Princess, does the ceremony to pass on the throne take so long?"
Someone immediately laughed and said, "Hey Concubine Liu, can't you wait? The Crown Princess and sister are not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
Suddenly someone said "Oops": "Sisters, have you forgotten something? Why are you still calling me the Crown Princess? From now on, we have to call you the Queen!"
The Crown Princess finally couldn't hold back her dignified look and raised her lips: "Zhou Cairen is too exaggerated. Prince, oh no, the new emperor has not returned to the court yet!"
Zhou Cairen raised his handkerchief and covered his mouth: "The Queen is too cautious. Today's sacrifice should be over. I see that the smoke on the sacrificial platform has been extinguished for half an hour. The new emperor will return sooner or later..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard the little eunuch singing outside: "The Emperor is here!"
Suddenly all the women in Fengwu Palace stood up with excitement.
The gate of Fengqi Palace was opened, and a group of people and sunshine poured in. All the concubines did not bother to take a closer look, and all bowed their heads in salute.
"Meet the Emperor!"
But I heard an extremely unfamiliar voice say calmly: "Concubines are exempt from the ceremony!"
Then came the cautious voice of Eunuch Chen: "Your Majesty...Princess, be careful of the threshold!"
Crown Princess Tang Jingxian couldn't help but be stunned: "Princess?"
She had only been married to the prince for five years and had only two sons. Where could she be a princess?
Even Concubine Yang, who posed the greatest threat to her, married the prince when he was still the fourth prince and gave birth to a daughter first. However, the little princess "accidentally slipped" and fell into the harem as early as five years old.
At Bird Lake, the people have long since disappeared.
As for the three-year-old daughter of the other Concubine Liu... No, even if Zang Xi wanted to let Concubine Liu compete with her for this position, he would not bring the three-year-old little princess over?
