A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1282 - 975: Offering the Jade Seal (Doubling updates these days, humbly asking for monthly votes)

Sponsored

Feeling the gaze of Xiao Zhenzhu, Xie Pan’Er hurriedly said.

"Don’t worry, His Majesty said he just wanted me to come early to discuss it. If you are unwilling, let Suisui quietly hand over the jade seal to him.

If you are willing, enter the palace before tomorrow’s imperial court and offer the jade seal in front of the civil and military officials during the court session."

As soon as Xie Pan’Er said this, Xiao Zhenzhu’s complexion turned very bad.

The jade seal landing in the hands of the Emperor of Da Han by chance is different from offering it voluntarily.

If it landed by chance, it means the Emperor of Da Han had his own people find it.

But if it is offered voluntarily, it represents Da Han’s compliance with the mandate of heaven, and thus should wins the hearts of the people!

This way, she would become a sinner of the Dongyue Xiao royal family.

Seeing Xiao Zhenzhu’s expression, Xie Pan’Er felt somewhat guilty, knowing that this would indeed put Xiao Zhenzhu in a wrongful situation.

"For our Great Han royal family, it’s certainly the most stable solution, and it’s not a bad way to win people over. However, since Zhanzhan let you come out of the palace early to discuss it with Madam Eight, there must be other considerations, right?"

Xie Pan’Er nodded accordingly, "His Majesty says that Brother Eight is wise and resourceful. He knows the jade seal is in Suisui’s hand but hasn’t proposed letting Sister Eight present it publicly, which implies Brother Eight doesn’t agree with this plan.

The Emperor, being Brother Eight’s sibling, naturally won’t make things difficult for him or Sister Eight. If Sister Eight is willing to present it publicly, His Majesty will definitely credit her. If she’s unwilling, he’ll ask me to find a way for the jade seal to appear legitimately and openly at tomorrow’s court session."

Who will present the jade seal?

By what name should it be presented?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianchun furrowed her brow, but before she could speak, Xiaosuisui spoke up.

"I will present it! There’s no need for Aunt Eight to do it!"

"?"

Princess Lianchun, Xiao Zhenzhu, and Xie Pan’Er all turned to look at her, doubting they had heard correctly.

Xiaosuisui said, "Uncle Eight said I should personally hand it over to His Majesty, my godfather!"

"Is that really what Uncle Eight said?

To personally hand it over to His Majesty, your godfather?"

Princess Lianchun furrowed her brow, knowing that anyone familiar with Xiaosuisui knows once she says one, nobody can convince her to say two.

Ji Youze arranged things this way just to protect Xiao Zhenzhu.

"That’s what Uncle Eight said!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenzhu was extremely touched, realizing that man even thought of this for her.

"Alright, tomorrow morning, Suisui shall attend court, wear court attire, and you shall lead her in presenting the jade seal!"

"Me?"

Xie Pan’Er’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Ji Youze wants to protect his wife, and Long Zhan also wants to pave the way for you. If you succeed in presenting the jade seal, those old ministers might keep their mouths shut during the upcoming election!"

Only then did Xie Pan’Er come to her senses.

"Nanny Zhang, hurry up and teach Pan’Er and Suisui how to properly present the jade seal tomorrow, and remember, don’t teach Xiaosuisui to kneel and bow!"

If that little girl kneels in front of the civil and military officials while presenting the jade seal, it could turn disastrous.

Nanny Zhang taught Xiaosuisui and Xie Pan’Er the rules overnight.

Princess Lianchun returned to the palace overnight to report the results of this matter to the Emperor.

The Emperor was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Having Suisui present the jade seal makes sense. After all, she is Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe and possesses great fortune. Doing so might produce a better result than if Xiao Zhenzhu presented it herself."

Princess Lianchun said, "I think the same."

"With Youze not in the capital, this matter will trouble royal sister."

"Then I’ll be leaving the capital."

"In such a hurry?"

"If I don’t hurry, the Empress Dowager might just see me face-to-face."

Emperor: "..."

"At my age, those comparable have their families and businesses, and I cannot bear to consider those younger than me!

Do those courtiers have too much free time on their hands, always watching for me to find a consort?

Is my not choosing a consort getting in their way somehow?"

Hearing this, the Emperor glanced at her.

"You’re the only princess in our royal family eligible for marriage. Though you’re older, there are still one or two men in the court comparable in age who have lost their wives."

At this, Princess Lianchun was so angry she bit her silver tooth!
