Bestowal, Freedom King! (votes)
It was noon in the Imperial Palace.
In the court, civil and military officials stood in rows. The Qing Emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his majesty unparalleled.
Beside him was the Great Eunuch Han Chengbi. He stood in front of the Qing Emperor on the left with his hands hanging down. He looked like a hawk and like a wolf. The civil and military officials he swept past felt a chill run down their spines.
"The First Prince and the Fourth Prince have arrived!"
A young eunuch shouted in a shrill voice.
Soon, two princes with boundless prospects, one muscular and one elegant, entered Cheng Qian Hall at the same time.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
The two of them bowed.
The Qing Emperor's deep eyes sized up the Great Prince and the Fourth Prince for a moment and nodded imperceptibly."
"Rise."
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young eunuch's sharp voice rang out from outside the hall again,"
"The Ninth Prince and Tenth Princess have arrived!"
There were some whispers in the hall, and some officials who didn't know about it sighed with emotion.
Ninth Prince, how long had it been since he had heard this title?
Tsk tsk, he had been grounded in the Sutra Depository for ten years, but now he was released when the Crown Prince was about to be chosen.
Your Majesty, what do you want?
Not long after, the Ninth Prince and the little Tenth Princess, who were dressed in white, slowly walked in.
The First Prince glanced at the gentle Zheng Yuan and snorted.
The little kid Zheng Xiaomu looked at the court officials, princes, and princesses with a timid expression. He swallowed and subconsciously hid half of his body behind Zheng Yuan.
She had never been to court before. This time, it was because she wanted to accompany her Imperial Brother that she mustered up the courage to enter the court.
Zheng Yuan led the nervous Zheng Xiaomu to the front seat under the gaze of the civil and military officials and his father. They stood in the middle of the princes.
Looking at the dignified Qing Emperor above, Zheng Yuan sighed softly in his heart.
It had been ten years since he came to this world, but this was the first time he had seen his father, the emperor.
Tsk.
Seeing the numerous civil and military officials, princes, and princesses staring at the two of them without blinking, Zheng Xiaomu finally realized and did not greet them.
She reached out her tender little hand and gently tugged at Zheng Yuan's clothes.
Zheng Yuan also reacted at this time. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before sighing in his heart.
Forget it.
He had transmigrated and inherited this body, so he naturally bore the karma of the Ninth Prince.
They hugged each other slightly, and Zheng Xiaomu imitated them. The two of them said in unison,"
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
The Qing Emperor looked at his ninth son, who he had not seen in ten years, and said nothing.
Zheng Yuan and Zheng Xiaomu also kept their arms crossed and remained motionless.
The hall fell into a strange silence.
Zheng Xiaomu pursed her lips. Her hands were sore!
After a while, the Qing Emperor slowly said,"
"Rise."
Zheng Yuan and Zheng Xiaomu put down their hands.
The Qing Emperor's eyes were deep. He looked at the scholarly Zheng Yuan and sighed in his heart.
He was thinking, how did this Xiao Jiu seduce the soul of the Demoness of the Netherworld?
It was unbelievable.
Shaking his head slightly, the Qing Emperor said with dignity,"
"Boss, Fourth, tell me, how are you doing?”
The First Prince glanced at the Fourth Prince and snorted. He took a step forward and said,
"Father, the victory at the border has heavily injured Man Qi and taken down four cities. Now that Man Qi has shrunk its strength, it is no longer able to fight against the Qing Kingdom.”
The Qing Emperor nodded slightly and praised,"
"Boss, you did well. You defeated the enemy.”
The Fourth Prince, who had a scholarly air about him, also took a step forward and said proudly,"
"Father, your son is ranked on the Jixia Learning Palace's Outstanding Talents Roll. Master has recognized him, and he is now at the third level of Confucianism. He can defeat thousands of people with a single word, and he is about to break through to the fourth level!”
The First Prince's pupils constricted slightly, and the officials and civil and military officials all praised him.
One had to know that the strongest person in the Qing Dynasty was only at the fourth realm.
The Qing Emperor's eyes widened slightly and he smiled."
"Fourth Bro, you're not bad yourself, but remember, don't go and learn from the Confucian scholars.”
The Fourth Prince bowed respectfully.
"Naturally."
The Qing Emperor's expression faded a little and he looked at Zheng Yuan."
"Xiao Jiu, have you learned anything in the ten years in the Sutra Depository?”
Zheng Yuan said gently,"
"After reading ten thousand books for ten years and cultivating the Great Spirit for a lifetime, this is what I have gained.”
The Fourth Prince sneered, which was heard by the civil and military officials and Zheng Yuan.
Great Spirit?
Ridiculous.
Without the teachings of the Great Confucians and the cultivation books of Confucianism and Taoism, where could he cultivate the Great Spirit?
Han Chengbi, who was standing beside the Qing Emperor, raised his head to size up Zheng Yuan. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Zheng Yuan didn't hide anything. With Han Chengbi's cultivation, he could naturally see the majestic literary aura around Zheng Yuan.
It seemed that the Ninth Prince had really studied hard for ten years. Otherwise, he would not have been able to cultivate such a vast literary spirit.
The Qing Emperor nodded slightly. There was no change in his expression, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"That's right. Xiao Jiu cultivates the heart and nature. Abbot Fa Kong of the White Horse Temple also said that Xiao Jiu has the nature of a Buddha.”
After a pause, the Qing Emperor glanced meaningfully at the Princes and Princesses and slowly said,"
"Pass down my decree. The ninth prince has been nourishing his heart for ten years and has made great contributions. He is specially granted the title of King Xiaoyao.”
The princes and princesses, as well as the civil and military officials, widened their eyes.
