Chapter 1283 - 975: Offering the Jade Seal (Doubling updates these days, humbly asking for monthly votes)_2
"Long Zhan! I am your real sister!"
"Don’t think that just because you became the Emperor, you can truly use even me!"
As a member of the royal family, Princess Lianchun is well aware of how many royal princesses’ marriages are exploited!
Either used by the Emperor to win over ministers or used for peace to secure the borders!
"Royal Sister, don’t be agitated. The people I’m talking about really do exist, and their fathers or grandfathers are heavyweights in the court. The list is right here; it not only contains their names but also their connections with various ministers in the court."
"Would you like to have a look, Royal Sister?"
The Emperor handed a few sheets of paper to Princess Lianchun.
Princess Lianchun took them with a dark expression and glanced through them, her face growing even darker.
"These old immortals dare to covet this princess!
Let’s see how I deal with them!"
As soon as Princess Lianchun said this, the Emperor smiled and handed her a few more sheets.
"Take a look at these as well. These are men who are married but, reportedly, their wives are not doing well.
You might as well take a look, Royal Sister!"
Princess Lianchun picked them up and after looking through them, her face grew even darker!
"These people truly deserve to die. Isn’t it obvious that they intend to harm lives?"
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me. I’ll handle it, and I assure you that they’ll shut up promptly!
They will never dare plot against me again!"
Princess Lianchun finished speaking and left, clutching the papers.
The Emperor just smiled with pursed lips.
Watching Princess Lianchun leave, he spoke to Eunuch Ling.
"Let it rest, prepare for the morning court tomorrow!"
The next morning, the Ji family’s two carriages entered the palace together.
Yunxiang, Yunduo, and Nanny Zhang accompanied them.
Nanny Zhang was entrusted by the Old Madam Ji to help care for her two newlywed daughters-in-law!
Yunxiang and Yunduo were there to care for Xiaosuisui.
"Yawn..."
Suisui sat in the carriage, unable to resist yawning.
Xie Pan’Er lovingly embraced her, softly saying, "There’s still some time before we enter the palace, you can sleep a little longer in Auntie’s arms!"
Suisui didn’t put on any airs and snuggled into Xie Pan’Er’s arms, comfortably finding a position to continue sleeping.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gates, they purposely stopped for half an hour before getting off and split into two groups.
Xiao Zhenzhu and Hu Shu’Er headed to the Empress Dowager’s Cining Palace.
Xie Pan’Er and Suisui went to the Taihe Palace.
"Halt, this is the Taihe Palace where His Majesty and the courtiers discuss state affairs.
No unauthorized people can enter."
They had just arrived at the Taihe Palace entrance when they were stopped by the guarding general outside.
"Insolence! Open your eyes widely and see who we are before calling us unauthorized people!"
Hearing this, the general carefully observed Xie Pan’Er and then noticed the little Suisui holding her hand.
"Oh, it’s the County Master of Qingping and Princess Chang Rongshun, my apologies! I failed to recognize you both!"
"Alright, hurry inside and report to His Majesty that Princess Chang Rongshun and this County Master have come to present treasures to His Majesty."
The guarding general knew how favored Princess Chang Rongshun was, so he immediately hurried off.
Inside the Great Hall, the Emperor listened to the ministers debate the matter of Princess Lianchun selecting a consort.
Some opposed, while others urged, making him headache as he said.
"Dear ministers, after all, this is a personal matter of my royal sister. As her brother, it’s tough for me to intervene. Let’s put this matter aside for today and discuss in a few days!"
Some were displeased.
They quickly said, "Your Majesty! This matter cannot be delayed!"
Yet before these words got a response from the Emperor, someone outside shouted, "Report!"
The Emperor glanced at Eunuch Ling.
Eunuch Ling asked loudly, "What does the guarding general have to report?"
The general hurried inside, kneeling on one knee, "Report to Your Majesty, the County Master of Qingping and Princess Chang Rongshun seek audience outside, saying they have come to present treasures to His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor quickly said, "Why aren’t you letting them in immediately?"
"Yes!"
The guarding general promptly retreated.
Eunuch Ling loudly announced.
"His Majesty orders Princess Chang Rongshun and County Master of Qingping to be summoned for audience!"
As soon as he finished, Xie Pan’Er clad in the Third Grade county master’s court dress and Suisui in the First Grade princess’s court dress entered.
"Your subject, the County Master of Qingping, greets His Majesty, wishing His Majesty long life, long life, a thousand times long life!"
Xie Pan’Er held a tray in her hands, on which lay something covered by a velvet cloth, highlighting its extreme importance.
