"Son, this decree is inappropriate." The Empress Dowager steadied her voice and took another sip of tea before saying slowly," Madam Nalan has been married to the General for nearly twenty years. She took care of her husband, took care of the family business, and even raised these two adorable children. One could not understand the hardships more if one was not a wife or a mother.”
The Emperor and Prince Zhan hurriedly bowed.”
The Empress Dowager nodded and continued,"Yes." However, the general had made great contributions to the East View Empire. It would be difficult for him to manage all the affairs in the residence. Lady Nalan had also worked hard. It was only right to bestow it to someone. However, this wife is not suitable."
The Empress Dowager was both her biological mother and the emperor had always respected her. In addition, when she ascended the throne, the empress dowager had done a lot of work behind the scenes. When the throne was stable, the empress dowager handed over all her power and consolidated the imperial power.
The Emperor understood the Empress Dowager's meaning and could only agree,""The Empress Dowager is right.”
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment." I think this daughter of the Li family is also talented and intelligent." However, he doesn't look very dignified, but since he has already promised the Nalan family, this widow can't say anything. Just keep it as a second wife. With General Nalan's residence, she wouldn't feel wronged.”
The Emperor cupped his hands. I will listen to mother."
Qing Huan nodded. This ending was already very satisfying. Since there was no way to avoid it, he naturally had to seek the smallest loss.
Lady Nalan was still kneeling on the ground. At this moment, Minister Li also came forward. They bowed and thanked him. Nalan Qinglang quickly went forward to help his mother up.
Everyone was happy. It was already the best situation. Only Li Mingyan was sitting at the bottom seat. She pretended to be shy and lowered her head, but her eyes were filled with hatred. His red nails dug into his palm under the handkerchief. Faint traces of blood appeared. When she raised her head, she had a bright smile on her face.
"Sigh. This General Nalan was really lucky.”Everyone sighed when they saw this.
Liu-shi endured the pain at the side, but Consort Zhan was shocked. This child…sighed and shook his head.
The ceremonial officer saw the Emperor's gesture and hurried forward. He was about to announce the end of the banquet. The empress dowager interrupted.
"I really like this little girl.”The Empress Dowager looked at Qing Huan with a loving expression. She looked at Baili Che and teased," If you can't be my granddaughter, why don't you be my granddaughter-in-law?"”
Ah. There was an uproar. Wasn't Miss Nalan just seven years old? Which prince was this supposed to be given to? Was he the future Crown Prince?
Ten years ago, General Nalan had begged the Emperor for mercy and summoned the Nalan Tiger Guards in his own name. In the past, they were just ordinary farmers, but when they gathered together, they were 100,000 elites. Who in the world did not know that the Nalan Tiger Guards were Miss Nalan's dowry? In addition to General Nalan's prestige in the army, this was a force that could not be underestimated.
In fact, the Empress Dowager did not think too much about it. She simply liked this child. She just wanted to stay by his side. People with complicated thoughts were also used to thinking of everything in the world as complicated.
Qing Huan opened her eyes in horror, like a frightened deer. Baili Che had thought that Imperial Grandmother's decision was a bit hasty and wanted to ask for Qing Huan's favor and wait for two years. However, looking at Qing Huan's fairy-like appearance, he looked at his fourth brother who was already a little dumbfounded. She swallowed her words and let nature take its course. Qing Huan looked at Baili Che and the Fourth Prince, Baili Yan, and felt that the world was really crazy. He had completely lost his previous confident look.
General Nalan took a step forward, his posture humble, and his voice firm as metal."Empress Dowager, this subject is extremely grateful for your grace. However, this little daughter is already used to being wild at home, so I'm afraid she won't be able to be the Prince Fujin.”
The empress dowager's face darkened. The night wind blew, and everyone was trembling with fear. Just now, the Empress Dowager had helped the Nalan family out of their predicament. However, General Nalan had embarrassed him. How was this going to end?
The shadows of the trees rustled, and the night seemed to be a little too long.
"Pa." The teacup was placed heavily on the table. The Empress Dowager's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce expression.
Baili Che sighed and finally stood up obediently,""Imperial grandmother, this child is only eight years old. Isn't it a bit too hasty to discuss marriage at this time? Although I can't be a royal princess, but…"
"Hehe. I'm not sure. I also like this child very much. Mother, why don't you let this daughter-in-law take advantage of this?”Consort Zhan stood up gracefully. Prince Zhan also stood up." Mother, your son and his wife have come to acknowledge a daughter. We will go to Prince Zhan's residence." She's also your granddaughter, so she can still be your child.”
The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and laughed softly. Her expression was completely devoid of melancholy."You kids really think I can punish him? This child is smart and intelligent. I really like him. Forget it. Child, come here." The Empress Dowager waved at Qing Huan.
Qing Huan had already recovered her usual demeanor and stepped forward steadily. She stood in front of the Empress Dowager.”
"Huan 'er. Aijia asks you. This Zhan Wangye couple wants to acknowledge you as their daughter, are you willing?”
Qing Huan turned around and looked at her parents, as well as her handsome brother who was standing beside her mother. Her heart was already set. She turned around, her long phoenix eyes glistening."Empress Dowager, Huan 'er will tell you. Brother now had to get up every morning when the rooster crowed. If he couldn't get up, Feng Yuan would water him with herbal tea. He thought it was his father's instructions and didn't dare to say anything. In fact, Huan 'er had secretly instructed Feng Yuan.”Xiao Xiao's face was flushed red and full of pride." And a few days ago, Father's painting of Jingzhou's landscape was flooded. It became a flood in Jingzhou. Father thought that it was Brother who did it and punished Brother by copying Jiang Lan's Art of War. There were three scrolls. Later, when everyone found out that it was Huan 'er who did it, they did not blame Huan' er. Her brother even said that it was to deepen her memory.”Qing Huan lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed." Huan 'er may be good at reading, but she's not good at embroidery. His improvement was very slow. Originally, Mother said that if she didn't know how to embroider, she wouldn't be able to marry well. However, when he saw Huan 'er's pricked finger, he did not force Huan' er to learn.”
She turned back to look at her family." Empress Dowager. Father told Huan 'er. In a few years, when the west was pacified. I will bring my family back to my grandfather's house, which is in Lan Liang City. I heard that it's very beautiful there. His grandfather had a large courtyard with a lotus pond that Huan 'er liked. Grandfather also had a silk shop that could make beautiful clothes for Huan 'er.”
"Huan 'er is eight years old this year. He had yet to repay his father and mother for their kindness, upbringing, and love. And her brother. Huan 'er would bring her brother a beautiful sister-in-law in the future. How could she be someone else's daughter? Huan 'er is very grateful for Prince Zhan's love and knows that the Empress Dowager dotes on me. However, Huan 'er could not accept it. Please forgive me, Empress Dowager." After saying that, he knelt down steadily.
Everyone was shocked. What was going on with the Nalan Clan? He rejected the grace of the higher-ups one after another.
General Nalan looked at his daughter worriedly, but the general's wife's eyes were already filled with tears.
The Empress Dowager did not look angry. Instead, she pulled Qing Huan up kindly."This child is very filial and knows how to be grateful. Aijia really likes it. Although she couldn't be a princess, she could still be a princess. This widow will make you a princess. It had nothing to do with any member of the royal family. You can enter the palace at any time to accompany this widow. How about this?"
Qing Huan raised her head and looked into the Empress Dowager's eyes. Her eyes were filled with love. "Yes, Empress Dowager." Huan 'er thanks the Empress Dowager for her grace."
"Alright. Good boy. You have to be filial to your parents in the future. Poor parents." The Empress Dowager took Qing Huan's hand and frowned slightly." You can be a princess, but you can't use the royal title."”
"Imperial Grandmother, the moon is just right today. Why don't we make her Princess Sushu?" Baili Che stood beside the Empress Dowager, looking at Qing Huan with a gentle smile. This little person was like a fairy born from the Moon God. She was so beautiful and charming.
"Alright, I'll do it. It's also appropriate." The empress dowager nodded.
Qing Huan was shocked. Su Shu. Xue Ying had called Su Shu.
"The Empress Dowager conferred the title of Eldest Young Lady of the Nalan Clan, Nalan Qinghuan, and Princess Sushu. "One mansion in the inner city, one peach blossom manor in the suburbs…" The ceremonial officer stepped forward and announced in a long voice.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 49PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
