When everyone met, they first greeted each other and exchanged greetings.
The fourth prince tried his best to pretend as if nothing had happened, but he couldn't force a smile out of his handsome face. When he thought of the word "Prince Ning", the anger in his heart surged up, almost breaking through the top of his head.
Fuck King Ning!
How could his father treat him like this!
Damn Mr. Lu Ge!
If Mr. Lu hadn't advised him privately, saying nonsense like "Ningxia is also the territory of Daqi and should send the most capable and capable princes to conquer the vassal in order to conquer the barbarians as soon as possible."
How could Emperor Wen make him Prince Ning?
Lu, Fujian, and Shu each have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s just a matter of enfeoffing them to vassal kings. What’s wrong with him, Prince Ning? He’s simply a joke in the eyes of everyone!
Look at each one of them, they are full of words of congratulations, but they are not sure how they will smile!
"Congratulations to Brother Four Emperors!" Sheng Hong opened his mouth to congratulate him first, not concealing his intention to watch the fun: "Father has high expectations for Brother Four Emperors, and specially gave the land of Ningxia to Brother Four Emperors. Brothers Four Emperors are both civil and military.
, what I have learned has been put to use. I am very happy!"
The veins on the Fourth Prince's forehead twitched, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Thank you, Seventh Emperor Brother!"
The second prince and the fifth prince looked at each other and opened their mouths to smooth things over.
"Well, it won't be long before we, brothers, are going to become feudal lords." The second prince, who suffers from oral disease, rarely opened his mouth to say a long series of words: "We don't have much time to get together, so we should cherish it.
.”
The fifth prince answered with a smile: "Yes! I will be the host tonight, how about we go to my house and have a few drinks together?"
The fourth prince refused expressionlessly: "I have something to do and have no time to go."
Fifth Prince: "..."
Bah! You deserve to be named Prince Ning!
The fifth prince resisted the urge to roll his eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to the fourth prince, and turned around to chat with Sheng Hong.
…
Li Xiangru's mood was also gloomy.
In the past two months, her life has been really difficult. Her brother Li Mo had a complete falling out with her and he never visited her again. Her eldest sister-in-law Fang Ruomeng also never visited her again, citing the reason of taking care of her two sons.
There were rumors outside that the fourth prince and Lu Chi had turned against each other.
Every time she opened her mouth to ask, the fourth prince would get furious. Later, she did not dare to mention it again, but the doubts in her heart gathered together like solid matter and were firmly blocked in her chest, making her breathless.
None of this is as shocking and outrageous as the matter of being crowned king!
Li Xiangru, who was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, could not imagine what a secluded and desolate place thousands of miles away Ningxia was, let alone what the barbarians looked like...
Her husband-in-law was the most outstanding prince in Da Qi and the son who was most popular with Emperor Jianwen. Why did Emperor Jianwen treat him like this? How much of this was Lu Ge's "credit"?
I was determined not to give in, and all the resentment, but in the end, I could only swallow it all. I went into the palace with a forced smile to express my gratitude, and by the way, I was laughed at by all the sisters-in-law.
"Fourth brother and sister, you were ill a few days ago, are you feeling better?" Zhao Changqing asked with concern on his face: "I think your complexion seems a little dull today. If you feel unwell, you should call the imperial doctor to take a look.
"
Li Xiangru took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law of the Second Emperor, for your concern. I must have had some stomach discomfort due to the cold last night. When I return home today, I will summon the imperial doctor."
Yin Xiaoxiao immediately said: "I know that the Fourth Emperor's Wife is short of everything, but I have two pairs of good ginseng. I will send someone to deliver them to the Fourth Emperor's Wife when I get back."
"Then thank you five younger siblings." Li Xiangru continued to smile.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, I finally managed to deal with this wave of "concern".
Xie Mingxi looked at Li Xiangru with a half-smile. Although he didn't say anything, the mockery in his eyes was clearly evident.
Just one glance made Li Xiangru feel angry, and he used all his self-control to swallow back the words that came to his lips.
After a while, the third prince and his wife came together.
The third prince now had a different status than before, and everyone stood up to greet him. Even the older second prince also stood up.
The third prince, who was proud of the spring breeze, smiled gently and said: "Brother, why are you so polite? Get up quickly."
Ah!
He pretends to be cool, but in reality his mind is not much bigger than the tip of a needle. He has done many things to exclude his brothers!
All the princes secretly cursed in their hearts, but their faces looked kind.
…
Half an hour later.
After Emperor Jianwen's lunch break, he heard that his son and daughter-in-law had entered the palace, and he immediately called for an audience.
As time goes by, Queen Yu has wrinkles on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes, and is no longer bright. However, the dignity and calmness of the Queen of the Middle Palace are better than before.
In contrast, Emperor Jianwen, who was now blue and pale with excessive indulgence, always made people worry that he would collapse at any time.
"My son has met his father and his mother!"
All the princes and princesses paid tribute together.
Emperor Jianwen smiled and said: "Without courtesy, please sit down and talk!"
Everyone thanked him and took their seats.
Queen Yu also took extra care of Xie Mingxi, who was eight months pregnant. She opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Ms. Xie is pregnant and has a heavy body. Why did she come into the palace today?"
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for your concern. Your Highness accepted your father's will and was grateful for your father's kindness, so your daughter-in-law went to the palace with His Highness to thank you."
Then, he looked at Emperor Jianwen: "Although my daughter-in-law has never been out of the capital, she also knows that Shu is a land of beautiful mountains and clear waters with excellent scenery. Your Highness is very happy to receive this fiefdom, and my daughter-in-law is also very happy. I would like to thank my father!"
"
Sheng Hong lost no time and stood up, cupping his hands and clasping his fists: "Thank you, father!"
Everyone likes to hear good words.
Emperor Jianwen was not exempt from vulgarity.
The satisfaction and joy of Sheng Hong, Xie Mingxi and his wife were definitely not fake. Emperor Jianwen saw this and felt satisfied. He said with a smile: "Although we have a fiefdom, there is no need to rush to become a vassal. I am still waiting for Xie to give birth to an emperor."
Grandson or the granddaughter of the emperor, it will not be too late to go away when the child is older."
In this case, it will be at least next year.
The fifth prince calmed down, winked at Yin Xiaoxiao, and the couple stood up together: "My father gave Fuzhou to my son as a fief. I am grateful for my father's kindness, and I will definitely manage the vassal land well in the future."
Emperor Jianwen smiled happily: "Fuzhou's offshore customs and scenery are different from those inland. You will know when you go to Fuzhou in the future."
Immediately afterwards, the second prince and his wife also stood up to express their gratitude.
At the end, it was the turn of the fourth prince and his wife.
No matter how resentful the fourth prince was in his heart, he could not show any of it on his face. He had to show tears of gratitude: "My father made my son Prince Ning, and gave him the land of Ningxia as a fief. I will definitely manage the vassal well in the future."
Land, civilize the barbarians, and consolidate the territory for Da Qi."
