Chapter 4 Crown Prince
In the morning, Yu Yu sent Gu Yin to serve Qin Si to dress up. Looking at the familiar face in the bronze mirror, it is covered with pink flowers, and the hair is neatly upright, decorated with a golden and white jade crown. A little cinnabar is decorated between the eyebrows, which sets off the skin better than snow. Qin Siqi's head moved slightly, and the steps between his temples trembled slightly.
stood up and tied up in Zijin's court clothes, and Qin Si's eyes couldn't help but feel a little cold.
"Princess, you can go to court."
Gu Yin half squatted down and slowly patted Qin Si's clothes with his palm. The figure of Qin Si was shown on the bluestone steps, which was cold and magnificent.
"Let's go."
Qin Si looked straight ahead with his head high, and his clothes raised with his footsteps, breaking the streamer on the ground.
Chang'an Hall.
Qin Si stood outside the hall, waiting for the sound of "The eldest princess went to the hall". With the sharp voice that gradually spread far away, Qin Si stepped into the gate of Chang'an Hall first.
From the moment her figure appeared, all the eyes in the hall were concentrated on her. There are measures, doubts, surprises and uneasiness. It seems that behind every look, there is a sharp weapon to peel Qin Si away and see it clearly.
Qin Si raised the corners of his lips and smiled, walked through the white stone bridge in the middle and entered the main hall. Ying Yingran went to the center and said to Yu Yu, "See long live the mother."
"My son is flat." Yu Yu replied with a smile.
When Qin Si stood up, Yu Yu raised his hand to the inner prison, and the internal prison held out a roll of yellow axis imperial edict and read, "Thank you to heaven, my imperial edict said: Since I succeeded to the throne, the southern country has flourished, and I am very comforted. In the southern country, there is no crown prince, which is the trouble in the hearts of all the nobles. The courtiers repeatedly pleaded for the establishment of a crown prince, but I dared not respond. At the beginning, when I was young, I went to the heavenly court as a princess, but to no result. On the day of his fall, he got a special daughter to preserve the bloodline of the southern country. Now I will find my beloved daughter and give her the title of Princess Mingjing, and she will be the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom. This is actually a great blessing for the southern country, and I hope the world will celebrate it together. This..."
"Princess Mingjing received the order."
Qin Si stretched out his arms and raised his eyebrows: "I took the order, long live my emperor."
The internal supervisor rolled up the imperial edict and wanted to send it to Qin Si, but suddenly there was a sound of stopping from behind Qin Si.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute."
Qin Si's face was calm, and his calm eyes looked at an old man standing in the hall. The old man came out from the first from the right and thought he was the old minister in the court.
"Oh?" Yu Guaner: "What is Prime Minister Di's opinion?"
"Your Majesty, I think that the establishment of a crown prince is related to the unification of our southern country. Naturally, we can't be hasty." The old man stood upright in his hand, blocking half of his face. Qin Si withdrew his eyes and listened to the following with a light smile.
In unfamiliar places, it is better to listen more than to speak and do.
"What does Aiqing think?"
"The crown prince must have what he can do to rejuvenate our southern country, and I hope the emperor will choose those who can do it." Prime Minister Di hinted that Qin Si had no achievements, but it was tenable.
As soon as the words fell, another person stood up from the left side of Qin Si. There was a lot of movement between the steps, and he thought he was a general.
"A successful person? Does Prime Minister Di have something to do? Emperor, I think that since ancient times, the crown prince has not been the eldest. Since the eldest princess has returned to the southern country, there is no doubt that she is the crown prince.
"General Quan is right."
As soon as the words fell, someone echoed from the side.
"Your Majesty, even if you are the direct leader, you need evidence. The royal bloodline cannot be stained."
Qin Si couldn't help looking at the person who questioned her identity. The man looked sad and almost couldn't squeeze out tears.
"That makes sense."
"If this is a fake princess, won't it let me change my lord in the south?"
This has changed from questioning her ability to become a crown prince to question her royal bloodline.
"The appearance of the eldest princess is so similar to that of the emperor, who dares to doubt it?" General Quan scolded and was extremely unhappy.
Qin Si raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Yu, who was at the top. He only saw that Yu was listening to the dispute between the two sides without any reaction.
"Amao?" Prime Minister Di Cheng asked with a rather protective intention: "Thousands of similar looks, I don't know how many long princesses to find with this."
"Has Prime Minister Di ever seen a person so similar to the emperor?"
In the dispute between the two, several people also came out to round up: "Your Majesty, I think the name of the eldest princess can be determined first, but I hope the emperor will think twice about this matter of establishing a crown prince."
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Yu Yu stood up with a slight cough and said, "How can I mistakenly recognize that I was born in October? It is true that the eldest princess is my daughter. Three days later, I will fast and bathe and report to the temple. As for what you said about the crown prince, I don't think there is much to say.
"This..." Yu is rarely so arbitrary that the courtiers can't pick up.
"But..." Yu Jin turned around and the hall calmed down: "Since all the adults have doubts, I will not be arbitrarily. During my fasting and bathing, I asked the eldest princess to govern on my behalf. You might as well see if my eldest princess has the ability to be a king.
Seeing that the emperor had retreated, the courtiers had no more words, so they had to kneel down and worship him together: "Your Majesty is wise."
After going down the court, Yu Jin took Qin Si to the Mingzheng Hall, which usually handles political affairs. This Ming main hall is different from the nearby palace, which looks extremely simple but solemn.
"A Li, are you working hard?" Yu Yu suddenly sighed and asked.
Qin Si was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "It's just to share the worries of the mother emperor. There is no need to talk about hard work."
Yu Jin smiled and took Qin Si's hand: "When there is no one else, I still like you to call me mother."
"Mother."
"Hmm."
Yu Jin nod his head and took Qin Si to the imperial court: "What kind of door can you see in today's court?"
Qin Si stared and said, " Prime Minister Di and General Quan are divided into two factions. In addition, there is another faction of ministers who are watching the two tigers fight."
"It's still a little bit." Yu Jin held up the pen beside him and drew three circles in front of him.
"You see, as you can see, General Quan is a loyal royalist faction, you can believe it. And Prime Minister Di is the most difficult person..."
"Does Prime Minister Di not accept his mother?"
Yu Jin snorted and said, "He is not disobeding me, but his identity is too difficult."
In Qin Si's puzzled eyes, Yu Yu said slowly, "Sang Di has another identity - he is the maternal grandfather of King Cheshire."
"King Cheshire's maternal grandfather?" Qin Si didn't think that there was still this relationship in it.
"Well, Prime Minister Di doesn't help Ziyu seize power, but he won't help me suppress Ziyu. This person is upright and not a sinister and treacherous person, but a usable talent. A good knife depends on whether he is willing to use it for you and how you use it..." With that, Yu Jin's face changed and coughed suddenly.
Qin Si handed the tea cup to Yu Jin, who stopped him with a smile: "Mother is fine." Yu Yu held his throat and swallowed a fishy breath and said, "You miscalculated this last circle. These people are the most complicated. They are not watching, but also have their own forces in private. They seem to deal with it, but in fact, it makes the struggle between the two factions more prosperous. It's just that I didn't understand this purpose after all.
"What mother means is that what they did is just appearance?"
Qin Si suddenly remembered a sentence that there is a person who is more terrible than the enemy against you. You never know when he will put a knife in your back.
"It's rare for you to see through four points. You can take your time to participate in the remaining six points. Mother can't help you." Yu Wei pinched Qin Si's palm heavily, and Qin Si also held back and answered: "Don't worry."
The Nanguo Dynasty has three points, but the unreserved believer is only one point that of General Quan, which is indeed difficult.
"You should be ready later, and you will see Ziyu at tonight's palace banquet."
"King Cheshire?" Qin Si turned around and asked, "Speaking of King Chai, A Li has something unknown."
Yu Jin picked up his jaw and smiled helplessly: "You just want to say that you obviously don't want you to enter the high position in the court, so why don't you pass the throne to others?"
"Yes. Whether it's King Cheshire or Princess Qin, they are all royal bloodlines. Qin has been thinking about this problem for a long time and can't understand it.
"Mother is always the king of a country, and she can't pass on the good country to anyone at will, which is unfair to the people. Although Ting Yu is intelligent, she is a little wayward. Since she was a child, she has a weakness and is easy to argue. It is a good thing to be contentious, let people know the shortcomings and slowly make up for them. But she is too conceited. Such a person is not suitable for sitting in a high position.
"And Ziyu, who is good at dealing with people, is not weak in intelligence, and can inherit the throne, but he is a little wrong. He is unstable, greedy and resentful, and he is second.
Greed and resentful is the biggest failure in a person's heart. What kind of person is this Cheshire King to occupy two of them?
"So, I can't trust anyone except you." Yu Jin's eyes were a little sorry. She was trapped by the palace in this life, but she still had to let her daughter carry this burden, which was really not what she wanted.
"A Li got it."
Qin Si stood aside and spread the chapter on the imperial case. She watched Yu's pen stained with red sand and make red marks on the medal. She walked back to the door of the hall and suddenly turned her head.
"There is one more thing I want to tell my mother."
Yu's wrist paused, his gentle eyes were raised, and he was cautious about Qin Si. Qin Si's cheeks were tight, and his arms gradually fell on his lower abdomen.
"What's the matter?" Yu's eyes were dark.
"I'm pregnant." Qin Si didn't know how to speak and said in a low voice, "I married the son of Fengyuan Marquis as the daughter of a general, but I'm just a fool of people. He is now staying in the Celestial Empire, and I have returned to the southern country."
With that, Qin Si knelt down firmly: "Mother, the identity of this child cannot be passed on. Please complete it."
Qin Si kowtowed to Yu, and the sound of his forehead touching the ground made Yu's heart heavy.
"That Ye Yunyi?" Yu Jin knew that this man, who was originally a son of the world, was once the crown prince.
"Yes."
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Sooner or later, Qin Si's pregnancy will be discovered, and there are many people who know her and Yunyi. If she doesn't respond in advance and people in the dark will find out, she and Ye Yunyi will become mutual restraint bargaining chips, and this child is also their common weakness.
Qin Si knows, and so does Yu Jin.
Yu Yu's face darkened: "Do you love him?"
"I love him."
