King An was the first to propose Princess Duanrou as the prince, Princess Changping also expressed her support, and the King of Fenyang County, as the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, supported Princess Duanrou on behalf of all the clansmen.

The joint petition of King Lu, King Min, Prince Ning, and Prince Ning became the last straw that overwhelmed the ministers.

The fierce voices in the court were completely suppressed.

If the Son of Heaven thinks about his step-nephew, the prince of Lu, the prince of Min, and the prince of Ning, all of whom are adults, and their fathers are dead. Choosing one of the three of them is the most suitable. Now that even the three of them have invited Princess Liduanrou to be the prince, what else do the ministers have to say?

Princess Duanrou has nothing to fault except for being a daughter......

In the final analysis, who is appointed as the prince depends on the will of the Son of Heaven. This is the country of the old Sheng family, love to whom to pass it on!

At the New Year's court meeting in the fifteenth year of Jianye, Chen Yushi and others once again jointly signed a fold and asked for the prince.

This time, no one objected vehemently.

Occasionally, stubborn and stubborn officials objected on the grounds that Daqi had never established a woman as the prince, and Xie Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and retorted with an awe-inspiring expression: "This is wrong! According to you, as long as there is no precedent for the ancestors, this matter cannot be done. So where does the political change come from? Where did Daqi come from to be prosperous and rich? The so-called do not break or stand, some rules must be followed, and there are some rules, and it doesn't hurt to change them. ”

Xiao Shangshu immediately picked up the conversation: "What Xie Shangshu said is very true. The rules set by Emperor Taizu when he founded the dynasty have gone through several dynasties, and I don't know how many changes have been made. How can you stick to the same rules? ”

"Princess Duanrou is smart and square, and her talent is outstanding, and her performance in the court in recent years has also been excellent, and she can be regarded as a prince." Elder Zhao Ge also opened his mouth.

Even General Yin and General Chu, who rarely opened their mouths in the court, also opened their mouths one after another: "The minister seconded the proposal." Princess Duanrou's excellence is obvious to all. In addition to Princess Duanrou, who else can be the prince? ”

The minister also seconded. There are unprecedented female generals in Daqi, and there is an imperial daughter, so why not! ”

In the end, Shoufu Lu Ge finally opened his mouth: "The old minister respectfully asks the emperor to decree that Princess Duanrou be appointed as the prince!" ”

The first assistant is the head of the civil officials, and Lu Ge has gone through three dynasties and has been the first assistant for more than 20 years. His prestige among the civil service is unmatched. As soon as Lu Ge Lao opened his mouth, all the ministers echoed in unison: "Weichen respectfully asks the emperor to decree that Princess Duanrou will be the prince!" ”

More than 100 people opened their mouths to invite together, and the momentum was mighty, resounding inside and outside the Jinluan Palace.

A look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and he said slowly: "Since all the ministers have seconded the proposal, then I will order someone to draw up a decree and set up Princess Duanrou as the prince to announce it to the world." ”

The hundred officials said in unison again: "The emperor is sage!" ”

Ah Luo stood beside the Son of Heaven, facing the hundred officials. Seeing this scene, I didn't have much joy in my heart.

It is the Son of Heaven who is sincerely obeyed by the hundred officials, the supreme imperial power, and the helpless move that cannot be resisted.

In their hearts, they still reject and resist her.

However, it is always a matter of joy that the most crucial step has been taken.

"Duanrou," in front of the ministers, Sheng Hong called his beloved daughter with a title: "From today on, you will be the prince of Great Qi." It is necessary to remember to be appropriate in words and deeds, to be generous to others, and to be diligent in learning and politics. Fang does not live up to my expectations for you, nor does he live up to the love of hundreds of officials. ”

The eighteen-year-old Princess Duanrou, with a calm expression and full of confidence, respectfully bowed her hand: "My daughter obeys the teachings of her father!" ”

Brother You, who is standing at the end of the hundred officials, is still participating in the court meeting for the first time. He stood far away in the corner, quietly looking up at Ah Luo's back, and a sense of pride and pride arose.

The beautiful girl who is more than 10 million is the prince of Great Qi and the future empress of Great Qi.

How fortunate he is to be able to join hands with her as a husband and wife in the future!

……

The will of the Son of Heaven was transmitted to the harem in the shortest possible time.

"The queen is overjoyed," Xiang Hui reported with a cheerful smile: "The ministers ask for an order, and the emperor has decreed that Her Royal Highness the princess will be appointed as the prince." After today, it will be announced to the world. ”

Congyu Fuyu and others were all overjoyed, and congratulated together: "The queen is happy!" ”

Such a happy event, Rao is Xie Mingxi City Mansion is quite deep, and at this time, he was also full of smiles, and ordered with a smile: "Pass on the order of the palace, and all the female officials and maids in the palace will be rewarded today." ”

Xiang Hui and the others laughed together and thanked him.

Gu Shanchang hurried over when he heard the news, and his face was full of joy: "Great! It's finally time for this day! ”

From the day he learned that the emperor intended to appoint Ah Luo as the prince, this matter hung in Gu Shanchang's heart like a boulder. It's always painful.

Gu Shanchang has been waiting for this day for several years!

Gu Shanchang, who was overjoyed, couldn't say anything else for a while, and said "great" over and over again. There was a glint of water in his eyes.

Xie Mingxi took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of Gu Shanchang's eyes, and laughed softly: "Master, such a happy event should be laughed." ”

Gu Shanchang snorted, took the handkerchief by the way, and wiped the corners of his eyes for Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi: "......"

Xie Mingxi didn't realize that he was also excited and surprised to tears until this moment.

The master and apprentice glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

"You, it's so awkward, you have to be strong at any time." Gu Shanchang smiled and teased: "For such a happy event, it is normal for people to cry with joy. And no one will laugh at you. ”

Xie Mingxi laughed in a low voice: "I can't change my temperament in this life." I also ask Master to take care of one or two. ”

Clever words!

Gu Shanchang smiled and glanced at Xie Mingxi.

……

The good news spread all over the harem, and Concubine Mei, who had not been out of the Hanxiang Palace for a long time, couldn't sit still, so she immediately came to the Jiaofang Palace, saw Xie Mingxi, grabbed Xie Mingxi's hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "Queen, did the emperor really decree that A Luo be appointed as the prince?" No one in the court and the central government objected? ”

Xie Mingxi's mood had calmed down a lot, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes, the emperor has made an order, and no one in the court has objected." Tomorrow this decree will be proclaimed to the world. ”

Ah Luo has really been made the prince!

Concubine Mei wanted to say something, tears had come out of her eyes.

She has a weak temperament, and it is common for her to cry. At this time, the tears fell with joy.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that there would really be such a day." Concubine Mei choked up and said, "Ah Luo really became the prince of Great Qi. I really didn't expect ......"

Xie Mingxi said softly: "As long as you have a heart, what in this world can't succeed?" ”

Concubine Mei nodded while crying.

Xie Mingxi hesitated slightly, took the initiative to pick up the handkerchief, and wiped away her tears for Concubine Mei. Concubine Mei was also a little surprised, and subconsciously glanced at Xie Mingxi.

The four eyes met, and the estrangement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dissipated at this moment.
