Chapter 305 The Throne Is Worthless?
The ministers of Xiqi looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is Xiqi really blessed by God this year? Why are all the big shots coming to Xiqi? There was no such grand occasion in previous years.
Everyone turned to look at Chu Qinghuang.
And they all came for the princess.
If they hadn't seen the princess grow from a toddler to a powerful warrior, with a violent temper until she was fifteen years old, they would have suspected that the princess was the long-lost daughter of the Queen of Dongling.
The dancers were interrupted by Princess Xuan before they finished their dance. They were forced to stop and quickly retreated.
After a while, a pair of outstanding men and women slowly walked in. Well, they were about the same age as Rong Yu and Nan Xi, stunning and outstanding, and both had the innate demeanor of high-ranking people.
Behind the two of them were twelve tall and slender men dressed as guards. Each of them carried a large mahogany box, which was heavy and should have contained a lot of good things.
"Your Majesty." Ye Qingcheng walked to the red carpet and stood still, bowing slightly, elegant and noble, "I am Ye Qingcheng, and the one next to me is my husband Yun Ting. The two of us were traveling and passing through Xiqi. I heard that today is the birthday of your country's eldest princess, so I came here to join in the fun. I hope the eldest princess will accept this small gift."
The humble words revealed several meanings: First, they were just passing by here for sightseeing, not coming to Xiqi on purpose, so it was normal that Xiqi did not get their news in advance.
Second, although they did not intend to pass by here, they were willing to come here specially for the eldest princess' birthday and give a gift that was obviously valuable.
Third, the ministers couldn't help but mutter in their hearts, is the throne worthless these days? Why did they all abdicate early to travel as if they had seen through the world?
The Queen of Dongling and the Regent were known to the world for their wisdom and bravery, but they abdicated to their sons more than ten years ago and then went to travel.
Ye Qingcheng of Shu Kingdom risked the world's disapproval and finally snatched her father's throne into her own hands. However, she was the empress for only a few months before she risked the world's disapproval again and passed the throne to her adopted son, and went to travel with Yun Ting.
Although there are many wonders in the world, being able to travel around is also a great thing in life - after all, traveling around the world also requires confidence, enough silver support, protection from masters, and enough time, so that you can pay for the huge expenses along the way, ensure your personal safety, and have fun.
But is traveling really happier than sitting on the throne and pointing out the country and holding the power of life and death?
They really don't understand the thoughts of these emperors and nobles.
"These six boxes of gifts, one box of gold, one box of silver, one box of silk, one box of jewelry, one box of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and one box of four treasures of the study." Ye Qingcheng pointed to the boxes behind him, "Except for the two boxes of gold and silver, the others are carefully selected by me. I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will accept them."
The ministers of Xiqi were shocked.
Such a heavy gift, are you sure you just come here to join in the fun while sightseeing?
Chu Qinghuang stood up and calmly returned the gift: "Thank you, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Shu, and thank you, Prince Consort Yun."
Ye Qingcheng raised her eyes, and her clear eyes lingered on Chu Qinghuang's face for a moment, "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen of Dongling just recognized the princess as her daughter. What a coincidence, I have some friendship with Her Majesty. If Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't mind, you can call me aunt."
The ministers of Xiqi were surprised.
Another person who came to claim a relative?
This blatant relationship... Do you really take the Princess's biological mother seriously?
Concubine Duan, who was sitting among the concubines, had a very stiff expression. The gazes from all directions were like sharp knives, stabbing her in the heart.
"Sister Concubine Duan is so lucky." Concubine Xian smiled and said with a good temper, "She gave birth to a princess who is superior to all the princes. The emperor did not hesitate to break the rules left by the ancestors to make her the heir. Now the abdicated empresses of Dongling and Shu are vying to recognize her... Although this situation is hard to understand, I am afraid that the saying that the eldest princess is the emperor's phoenix is really going to come true."
