What can he say? Relying on his father's regard for him, can he openly question his father's decision-making?
The emperor made the most of his words, and establishing a heir apparent was a big deal. Once the father made a decision, who could change it?
Unless the second child is immoral, gets caught, and makes an unforgivable mistake. Otherwise, the second child's position as crown prince is secure.
But the second child is usually so low-key. Although he is not top-notch in his work, he can't find anything wrong with him.
He also wanted to find fault with the second child before, but unfortunately the second child seemed to be loyal, but was actually very cunning, and he couldn't find any fault at all.
Besides, does his father really value him? The eldest prince felt cold in his heart, and then he smiled bitterly.
He felt that if he objected again, his father would be furious.
"The eldest brother is here to congratulate the second brother. I also ask the second brother to take good care of the eldest brother in the future. The second brother is kind-hearted and is awarded the title of prince, which is a blessing for the people. I only hope that the second brother will not change his original intention in the future and truly
Think about the people and the court."
The eldest prince's expression had returned to calmness, and he congratulated the second prince with a smile.
As soon as the eldest prince said these words, the palace suddenly became quiet.
Bian Shengrong and the others didn't expect that the eldest prince would hold them back. Doesn't it mean that the eldest prince doesn't want to be the prince? How is this possible?
If you don't want to be a prince, then why did the eldest prince bother so much before?
The eldest prince ignored these astonished officials and turned to look at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
Seeing the emperor's satisfied eyes, the eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, big brother. Your Majesty, please remember your teachings!"
The eldest prince smiled and nodded, and then he turned his gaze to his superiors. His gaze moved slightly downward, and he saw the golden dragon chair.
Then he smiled and said: "Congratulations to my father, my second brother is calm in his work and has the common people in his heart. In the future, my father will be able to relax a lot if your second brother will handle the general affairs for you, support the army and supervise the country."
His eyes traced the texture of the dragon chair and swept across the golden dragon soaring on the dragon chair. The ambition in the eldest prince's eyes flashed away.
The third prince's face became even more ugly. He didn't expect his eldest brother to be so useless. His father just looked at him and frightened his eldest brother.
Originally, he wanted his eldest brother to be a pawn, but he followed behind and agreed.
If you can make your father change his mind, that would be great. If not, then you have the eldest brother to bear your father's wrath.
But now that the eldest brother has ceased his activities, what should he do?
Seeing his father's cold gaze directed at him, he gritted his teeth. He was really unwilling to do so!
"Congratulations, father, and congratulations, second brother!"
After all, the third prince did not dare to make a mistake and could only say congratulations dryly.
Now that two princes have expressed their stance, Prince Jing naturally cannot remain silent any longer.
He noticed that his father had glanced at him several times just now, and he knew that his father was suspicious of him because of the matter of choosing a concubine.
Prince Jing cast his gentle gaze on the second prince, "Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my second brother! My father chose my second brother because of the public's expectation, and I have no objections!"
The second prince glanced at Prince Jing and found that his smile was sincere, as if he was truly happy for him.
Unlike the eldest brother and the third child, although they smile on their faces, they always give people the impression that they are smiling but not smiling.
Sure enough, they are not fuel-efficient lamps! What everyone expects? Is this a satire on him?
"Well! Since you all have no objections, let the Qintian Supervisor choose an auspicious day to hold the crown prince canonization ceremony!"
The emperor's words were the final word, ignoring those officials who still wanted to criticize the second prince.
Seeing that there was no room for improvement, the officials in the palace had no choice but to sigh, then knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the crown prince!"
"Hmm! Where is Yu Zheng, Minister of Rites?"
"I'm here!" Yu Zheng came out of the queue and obeyed orders respectfully.
"I order you to prepare for the crown prince's canonization ceremony. The Hanlin Academy will draft an edict today. After reviewing it with me, it will be announced to the world."
"I obey the decree!"
Telling the world is the first step. The rules for the prince's canonization ceremony will be cumbersome, and the etiquette department will have to work hard this time.
In the Guangning Palace, a woman wearing a rouge red round collar, narrow sleeves, and embroidered with flying phoenix and peony patterns was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch with her eyes closed and meditating.
As the person behind her kneaded her gently, a smile appeared on the woman's well-maintained face, adding two thin crow's feet to the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Ying's temperament has become more and more stable. She is a big girl after all. My headache seems to have eased a lot after you squeezed me like this."
"Grandma, is Ying'er's strength just right? My mother always dislikes me and says that I don't use discretion."
Qin Yingyuan pouted and replied dissatisfied.
"That's because your mother is making things difficult for you! Your strength is just right, and my headache is much better."
The queen opened her closed eyes and looked at the eldest princess sitting beside her with a smile.
"Grandma still loves me. Ying'er was feeling unwell a few days ago and didn't come to the palace to accompany you. Ying'er has been with you in the palace these past few days. You won't dislike your granddaughter, right?"
Qin Yingyuan carefully looked at her grandmother's expression, fearing that her grandmother would annoy her.
If that's the case, when she returns home, not only her mother and father will blame her, but even her eldest brother will definitely blame her.
Besides, she hasn't achieved her goal today, so how can she just leave the palace?
As soon as Qin Yingyuan finished speaking, the queen's expression paled a little.
She picked up the tea bowl on the table and put it to her mouth, but did not answer immediately.
When the eldest princess saw that the queen was not paying attention, she quickly glared at her daughter. Is it easy for this child to fool her into thinking she was her grandmother?
Although the queen mother cannot leave the palace, Sister Ying's behavior in the past few days may have been reported to the queen mother.
Unexpectedly, my daughter, who has always been smart and alert, turned out to be stupid this time.
"You girl, your grandmother has been feeling better these days. How can you disturb her again? She's almost grown up, so why are you still so ignorant of etiquette?"
The eldest princess scolded with a straight face.
Seeing her mother's eyes full of reproach and winking at her, Qin Yingyuan suddenly felt a chill in her heart, knowing that she had offended her grandmother.
Although her mother has been blaming her these past few days, they are mother and daughter after all, so there is still a tacit understanding.
Qin Yingyuan opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she didn't want to be interrupted by the queen.
"Okay! I have become much healthier in the past few days. I was feeling very bored staying in bed some time ago. Sister Ying has a lively temperament, so she just happened to stay in the palace for a few days, so that she can relieve her boredom with me.
."
I couldn't stand the quarrel between the two of them, so I thought it was the granddaughter after all. Since the granddaughter wanted to make up for it, she had to give her face.
Not to mention that she had watched this girl grow up since she was a child, and she already had feelings for her. Just for the sake of her daughter, she couldn't embarrass her granddaughter.
Besides, there should be good news coming today, so the queen is in a very happy mood, leaving her granddaughter to enjoy the joy in the palace. 13
