A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 175: Being a Perfect Man in My Fair Princess (2)

"Xia Wei? How come I don't know that my Princess He'an is called this?" The emperor sneered, but Ziwei knew that the emperor was trying to clear his name.

"Father, I am at fault. I shouldn't have entered the army incognito. Please forgive me, Father."

"Hahaha, you are my good daughter, better than the prince." The emperor was very proud, but he ignored the general's request for a title. It seemed that the emperor was still a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty, Sister He'an has finally returned victorious. What reward do you plan to give to Sister He'an?" Unexpectedly, the twelfth prince Yongji was the first to speak and break the balance.

"Then in your opinion, what kind of reward is appropriate for you and Sister An?" The hesitant emperor threw the question to the son who spoke up.

"Since you are requesting a title for Sister He'an, considering her merits, it is not too much for her to be a military officer." Yongqi said this after careful consideration, and it was obvious that the emperor was quite satisfied.

"Since Yongqi has said so, I will appoint you as a third-rank military officer. Starting tomorrow, you will follow me to court." This is the only person brought into the court by the emperor since the deceased eldest prince and third prince.

The Fourth Prince was adopted away and was no longer in the attention of the court officials. Before this, everyone was optimistic about Yongqi, but now, the court officials were a little confused.

This confusion even made them forget about ancestral etiquette and the fact that the harem should not interfere in government affairs. By the time someone remembered this matter, it had already become a foregone conclusion.

Some pedantic old ministers had already made plans in their minds. On the second day, they would embarrass He An in the court to test the emperor's thoughts.

When they went to court the next day, all the ministers were ready to give He An a severe shock, but they didn't expect that they would be the ones who were shocked.

From the fifth prince to the eight-year-old Yongqi, all were present in the court, making the only woman and An less conspicuous.

"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of asking all the princes to come to the court today?" The stubborn minister started with the question of death.

The emperor looked at this man and wondered if he was too good-tempered, which gave him the courage to question him: "My dear minister, do you think my prince is not worthy of entering the court?"

“I dare not, but according to the rules of our ancestors, princes can only enter the court after getting married.” Staring at the emperor’s murderous eyes, the minister continued, and his colleagues all looked at him with admiration.

"Did the ancestral rules tell you that as a subject you cannot disobey the emperor?"

"Your Majesty!" The minister looked up in disbelief, unable to believe that he was actually accused of disobeying the emperor.

"I am following precedent by bringing the prince to court today. Back then, Emperor Shengzu also ascended the throne at a young age." In order to pave the way for his daughter, the emperor began to talk nonsense.

Despite the emperor's nonsense and unreasonable demands, today's morning court session ended smoothly, and the matter with An also ended smoothly. Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but be happy for Ziwei.

"Ziwei, this is such great news, we should celebrate it properly. We should also bring the Queen Mother along. Concubine Ling is pregnant, so we won't disturb her." Xiaoyanzi counted the people to be brought along.

"You only know that it's Ziwei's happy event, don't you remember that you also have a happy event?" Yongqi finally couldn't help it.

"What happy event?" Xiaoyanzi really couldn't remember.

"It's a happy event for both of us, right? In another month, we will get married." Yongqi held his forehead with his hand.

Erkang and Qing'er had already gotten married several months ago, and Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi's wedding date is also approaching.

Xiaoyanzi stopped talking for a moment, she felt shy and at a loss.

The Imperial Household Department began to prepare for their wedding. Xiaoyanzi felt a little uneasy every day. It was obvious that she had some pre-marital anxiety, but with Yongqi's daily guidance, this phenomenon soon disappeared.

In order to comfort Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi took her out of the palace every day, either to see their future mansion, or to visit the reception building built for the people in the mansion.

A month later, their wedding was held successfully, Yongqi moved out of the palace, and Xiaoyanzi was free. However, she would still go to the palace from time to time because she was thinking about Ziwei.

That day, Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi met a foreigner at the Huibin Building.

"Yongqi, does this person look familiar?"

"This is a Hui people from Xinjiang who sneaked into the capital. I wonder if he has any intentions towards the Qing Dynasty?" As a prince, Yongqi was worried about the Qing Dynasty first.

"Didn't Huijiang send a gift? Could he be a member of the delegation?" Xiaoyanzi said a guess that she didn't even believe.

"The envoy from Xinjiang is staying in the inn, so it's more believable to say that he is a fugitive from Xinjiang." Yongqi disagreed with Xiaoyanzi's statement.

"This person looks familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before," Xiaoyanzi was puzzled.

In order to find out the identity of this person, Xiaoyanzi called Liu Qing and Liu Hong and said, "I'm sorry to bother you with something."

"Xiaoyanzi, just tell me what you need." Liu Hong said openly.

"Help me talk to that man and find out who he is."

Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi had expected that this would be a very difficult matter. Unexpectedly, Liu Hong came back soon: "He said his name was Maierdan, he was a warrior from Xinjiang, and he came to the capital to take his beloved girl away."

"Maierdan?" Xiaoyanzi exclaimed: "Yongqi, didn't we let go of a cowardly Huijiang soldier on the battlefield? His name seems to be Maierdan, no wonder he looks familiar."

Yongqi recalled Meldan's cowardly look and nodded affirmatively: "I don't know what Meldan's sweetheart looks like that can give Meldan such courage."

At the same time, everyone in Huibin Building was asked to keep an eye on Meidan and carefully observe his movements. If anything was wrong, they would immediately report to Yongqi's residence. The siblings Liu Qing and Liu Hong also agreed one by one, and only then did Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi leave with peace of mind.

At a palace banquet a few days later, the envoys from Xinjiang presented many gifts to express their submission. The emperor happily accepted them and watched the dancers at the palace banquet with a smile on his face. This was his Qing Dynasty. He was indeed a better emperor than his father.

"Your Majesty, I have also prepared songs and dances, I hope Your Majesty will grant me the honor," Ali Khoja said respectfully. Seeing the emperor nod, he clapped his hands.

Several foreign women came gracefully, and among them, a beautiful woman was dancing. The emperor stared at the woman in the middle, which made Ali Khoja very happy.

When the dance was over, the emperor was the first to applaud: "Excellent dance!"

"This is my daughter Hanxiang. I am willing to present my daughter to the emperor in the hope that the Qing Dynasty and Huijiang will have eternal friendship." Ali Khoja seized the opportunity and brought his daughter forward.

"Okay, confer the title of Rongpin on Hanxiang." The emperor happily accepted this beauty, and he also accepted Huijiang's sincerity.
