Chapter 306: My Little Niece Is so Domineering
Concubine Duan clutched the tea cup, her brows so gloomy that she seemed to be dripping with ink.
"But it's strange to say." Concubine Xian was afraid that Concubine Duan was not in a bad mood, so she took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Qinghuang seems to have suddenly woken up this year. Not only has his violent temper become much more restrained than before, but he no longer commits adultery. Crazy, and suddenly gained courage..."
After a slight pause in her tone, Concubine Xian said thoughtfully: "It seems that since she divorced Feng Jinzhi, she has completely changed and become impressive."
Concubine Duan gritted her teeth and her eyes fell on the pattern of the tea cup. Her eyes were so gloomy that she wanted to cut a hole in it.
"She made meritorious deeds one after another and eliminated her opponents without mercy. I originally thought she just had a bad temper and took the opportunity to vent, but now that I think about it, I suddenly realized..." Concubine Xian sighed, with a little more emotion in her tone. Admired, "How can this be an impulsive temper? It's obviously because of his bad temper that he eliminated his powerful enemies step by step, and moved towards the goal of becoming the crown prince step by step without everyone being prepared."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Concubine Duan: "Sister Concubine Duan, do you think my analysis is correct?"
Concubine Duan gave her a cold look and said nothing.
"Princess Ye is so polite." His Majesty the Emperor smiled brightly, and the joy could be heard in his tone. "It's a joy to have you two here. How can I let you spend so much money?"
"You're welcome." Ye Qingcheng said, "This is for Qinghuang."
The emperor choked, then smiled and said: "Qinghuang."
Chu Qinghuang hummed and ordered people to accept all the gold and silver gifts and put them into the national treasury.
"Send it to the treasury?" Ye Qingcheng looked at her in surprise, "This is a meeting gift that I carefully selected to give to your little niece. It is not for the Xiqi royal family, but for yourself."
Ah this...
The expressions of the Xiqi ministers were subtle.
The eldest princess of Shu is too straightforward. Now that the national treasury is not very rich, what will happen if these gifts are added to the national treasury?
Did she deliberately want to provoke a confrontation between the royal family and the eldest princess?
"It doesn't matter." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "I will become the next queen of Xiqi. My things belong to my father and the treasury of Xiqi, regardless of public or private matters."
After saying that, he nodded his thanks again: "Thank you, Aunt Qingcheng."
The ministers of Xiqi had different expressions.
The eldest princess is too arrogant to become the next queen?
How could she become the queen even if she hadn't even written her horoscope yet? Historically, princes who were established as princes would not dare to say this in front of the emperor. The eldest princess really did not want to hide her ambitions at all.
Ye Qingcheng seemed to be pleased by Chu Qinghuang's title, and waved his hands happily: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
The little niece is so domineering.
No wonder Rong Yu and Nan Xi both rushed to recognize their daughter. The child seemed to have a really pleasant personality, not weak and hypocritical at all, and very sassy.
"Elder Princess and Prince Consort Yun, please take a seat." The emperor greeted quickly, "Come, please quickly set up a seat for these two distinguished guests."
Chen Hai agreed, but was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, where should this table be located?"
His Majesty the Emperor looked left and right, and was about to speak when he heard Ye Qingcheng say: "I'll just sit with my niece. You don't have to worry too much about courtesy."
Anyway, she has abdicated the throne now, and she doesn't care about honor or not. Taking the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the niece she just recognized is the most important thing.
Princess Xuan, who was next door to Chu Qinghuang, left temporarily due to physical discomfort, and a seat just became available, so Ye Qingcheng walked over and sat down.
The palace attendants respectfully stepped forward, removed all the utensils, wine and dishes used by Princess Xuan, replaced Ye Qingcheng with a new set of wine cups and utensils, and quickly placed four brand new dishes on the table.
Yunting went to the opposite side. He originally wanted to find a place to sit down, but Xuanyuan Yao waved to him: "Master Yun, come and sit here."
Yunting paused slightly and turned to look at where he was.
The men's row was led by distinguished guests, with Xuanyuan Yao, Xie Jin and Rong Zhan sitting at the top. Below them were the princes of Xiqi, princes and important ministers. There was no extra space.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, the palace man quickly added a seat between Xuanyuan Yao and Rong Zhan, so Rong Zhan made way to one side. All the people sitting under Rong Zhan had to move a little. For a moment, they only saw Xiqi. The ministers moved their seats one after another, just to make room for the distinguished guests from Shu.
To all this, Rong Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, did not react at all. He held the wine cup in one hand and his expression was calm and calm.
Nan Xi watched with a smile on her face, and waited for Ye Qingcheng to sit down before she spoke slowly: "How are you doing with Qingcheng?"
