The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 1056 I Don’t Believe You Don’t Have This Dream

Cen Yuan held Shi Anxia's hand, and her smile never faded.

He was not a man who liked to laugh.

In fact, he is extremely distant and cold towards people.

The ministers of Liang were all very afraid of Emperor Yu.

First, the Emperor was too ruthless and stern. Second, the Emperor hardly needed advice from his close ministers. He was arbitrary and made decisions by orders without consultation.

The third point is that Emperor Yu has great control over the situation, which is simply amazing.

At the beginning, there were a few self-righteous ministers who spoke their minds frankly, citing classics and trying to make Emperor Yu change his strategy.

The Yu Emperor also listened carefully, but did not adopt his advice. However, every time the matter was completed, it proved that the Yu Emperor's decision was right and his ministers were wrong.

As time went by, the ministers gave up the idea of standing out and decided that it was always a good idea to follow Emperor Yu.

But now, their Feather Emperor was actually laughing.

Like the melting of ice and snow, the tenderness that spreads in the fine lines at the corners of the eyes makes the bright flowers on the banks of the Huaixing River pale in comparison.

The court officials finally got to see the emperor's eyes, which were always like the deep water in a cold pond. At this moment, they reflected the appearance of Shi Anxia beside him, and they were like the newborn spring water.

Especially when the emperor and empress stood hand in hand by the Huaixing River, the look they gave each other was truly a moment of deep affection.

There was an official with a sharp mind who was planning to take over the harem just now, but now he has become half discouraged.

Even if you succeed in sending your daughter to the palace, it would be useless if she doesn't win the emperor's favor and it could easily lead to trouble. Why bother?

Of course, there were also some stubborn officials among the court who simply ignored the beauty of Princess Beiyi and firmly believed that their daughters' peerless beauty would win the favor of Emperor Yu.

Hong Rui, the Minister of Works, secretly looked at the figures of the Emperor and Empress, thinking that his daughter was only 28 years old and her appearance was three times better than that of Princess Beiyi. He stroked the carefully painted "Portrait of Ladies" in his sleeve, thinking about how to find an opportunity to present it after the ceremony.

They are all men, and it is common for them to get tired of the old and fall in love with the new. Who doesn't know who? He swore to his wife that he would never betray her, but now he has married seven concubines and has not brought back a mistress.

Minister Hong felt that one day, Emperor Yu would be able to look at his own daughter the same way he looked at the empress.

By then, if I had a son or daughter, maybe I could even be made a crown prince... I had just had this beautiful dream when I woke up immediately.

The ceremonial officer read out the imperial edict loudly, and the sound shook both sides of the strait, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims..."

There are two main points. One is that the ceremony of enthroning the empress will be held three days later. The other is that the eldest son of the emperor, Cen Ce, will be appointed as the crown prince, which will be held on the same day as the ceremony of enthroning the empress.

With a loud bang, Minister Hong felt as if a muffled thunder exploded above his head.

He felt that he must have heard it wrong, so he nudged his colleague next to him and asked quietly, "What did the imperial edict say?"

His colleague was called Yuan Shu, who was younger and was originally just an ordinary clerk. After the Yu Emperor came to power, he was inexplicably promoted, which was equivalent to stepping from the ground to the sky.

Yuan Shu was grateful for the Emperor's kindness. He was stunned by the sight of Princess Beiyi just now. He was very excited to hear that the princess's son was to be named the crown prince. When he whispered, his voice trembled a little, "Empress! Crown Prince! The eldest son of the emperor has been named the crown prince!"

You heard it right! Minister Hong was annoyed, gritting his teeth, "He is from Beiyi! How can he be crowned the crown prince!"

Even the most obtuse person would know that Minister Hong was dissatisfied with Emperor Yu after hearing this. Yuan Shu's smiling face turned cold, and he even stepped aside, staying away from Minister Hong. "If Lord Hong is resentful, you can report it in the memorial, but don't say anything in front of me, or others will think that I am in cahoots with you!"

If you want to die, don't drag me into it!

Minister Hong was startled, his expression was quite interesting, "No, that's not what I meant."

"I don't care what you mean, just don't talk to me anymore." After saying that, Yuan Shu angrily retreated to the back row and squeezed for a seat with others.

Minister Hong: “…”

In the past, Minister Hong would not even bother talking to someone like Yuan Shu.

He struggled for most of his life and used all kinds of tactics to get to his current position.

What ability does Yuan Shu have? It was because after the change of dynasty, Emperor Yu wanted to re-employ new ministers, so he forced these old ministers into a corner and let the new ministers take care of everything.

He was getting angry when another old minister, Liu Zhizhu, quietly moved to Yuan Shu's original position. He looked ahead and reminded him in a low voice, "Master Hong, we have known each other for a long time. Don't say I didn't remind you. You'd better stop dreaming of being the emperor's father-in-law."

Minister Hong sneered in a low voice, "I don't believe you don't have this dream."

Hong and Liu had originally had a good relationship, but the reason they later fell out was that both families had daughters to be sent to the palace to be concubines of Emperor Yong, which was equivalent to a competitive relationship.

Once, the two of them had an argument outside over a disagreement, and later when they saw each other, they both looked down on each other and ignored each other.

After hearing what the other party said, Liu Zhizhu smiled faintly and said, "If this dream can be realized, I will certainly do it. But I am different from you. I know how to judge people and things. I am not blind or deaf. If you go to see Elder Wu to understand the friendship between the emperor and the empress, you will not have the idea of ​​attacking Emperor Yu's harem."

Minister Hong is indeed the kind of person who spends all day scheming but never gets to the point. This was not obvious when Emperor Yong was in power, after all, he was not the only one who took advantage of the situation.

Now that Emperor Yu has come to power, he has made drastic adjustments and transfers to official posts, but has been slow to move the Ministry of Works.

Hong Rui was the Minister of Works, so he naturally thought he was safe. How could the emperor dare to touch someone with a skill?

Liu Zhizhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Hong, take care of yourself. At our age, don't think too much. It would be great if you can do your job well and retire smoothly in the future."

After saying that, he returned to his original position, leaving Yuan Shu's seat vacant.

Minister Hong snorted, thinking "he has bad intentions", and looked at the emperor and empress with an unhappy face.

At this time, the emperor and empress boarded the vermilion lacquered boat hand in hand and began to cruise on the river.

Wherever he passed, the people on the left bank fell to the ground and shouted, "Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"

The sound shook the sky.

The people on the right bank shouted in unison, "Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess! Long live the Prince Consort!"

The voices of the people on both sides gradually turned into a unique contest, with a strong momentum that they would not be satisfied until they overwhelmed the other side. The sound waves collided on the river surface, startling the fish in the water to jump out of the water.

The three children got their father's permission and jumped on the boat. Ye Bao'er was also very busy, with his ears pricked up, barking twice at the left bank and then barking at the right bank.

It was quite lively for a while.

Behind the vermilion lacquered tower ship, there were several tower ships carrying the Liang State's wedding party and the Beiyi State's wedding party, which were sailing on the river.

The ship sometimes sails on the left and sometimes on the right.

The emperor and empress threw golden ears and lucky money to both banks. The golden ears symbolize a good harvest, and the lucky money symbolizes peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

People stretched out their hands to receive it, some children stood on tiptoe to scramble for it, some old women received it with their clothes, and the sounds of laughter and thanksgiving intertwined into one.

Three thousand lotus lanterns with prayers written on them were lowered into the Huaixing River under the guidance of ceremonial officials and floated downstream.

San San pulled at Shi Anxia's collar and blinked her big dark eyes, "Mother, I want to go down and release the lotus lanterns, too."
