The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 803 Can't You Take This Bead Off?
Emperor Dongming wore a bright yellow dragon robe, majestic and cold. Although he had been carefully dressed, his pale face, dim eyes, and trembling fingers all showed that he was terminally ill.

Ling Yao held Jing Yu's hand, and walked up to Emperor Dongming with a smile, "Did Grandpa Huang miss us?"

The two children were carved in pink and jade, and they were smiling. Their big black grape-like eyes were full of admiration, which softened the emperor's cold heart.

"Haha, yes, Grandpa Huang misses you!" The emperor laughed heartily, hugged the two children one by one, and looked at their appearance carefully, "There is still a difference when you grow up. Her eyebrows and eyes are softer. Jing Yu's growth is stronger, and her eyebrows and eyes are more handsome."

Ling Yao smiled slyly: "We often change our clothes, sometimes the mother and concubine can't recognize her."

Jing Yu also smiled and said, "One time I didn't want to take a bath, and said I had already done it, but my sister was washed twice."

"Haha! Naughty ghost!" Emperor Dongming laughed.

It is rare for everyone to see Emperor Dongming so happy, his eyes flickering with thoughts.

Several young princes didn't know how to hide their emotions, showing expressions of envy and jealousy. The father had never been so kind to them, and he didn't even hug them.

But Shangguan Ruoli's eyes only fell on the emperor's hand. The emperor's hand stroked the Buddhist beads on Jing Yu's small wrist, and plucked them down without any trace, but did not take them off.

He didn't hide it at all, Emperor Dongming picked up his little hand, squinted his eyes to observe carefully, and asked kindly: "Can't this bead be picked off? Do you feel panicked?"

Jing Yu shook her head obediently, "If you can't take it off, don't panic."

A cold light flashed in Shangguan Ruoli's eyes, could it be that the emperor knew that he was going to die, and he had a bad intention for Jing Yu's Buddhist beads?

He hurriedly said: "It's strange to say that Jing Yu wore the Buddha beads like this at the beginning, and now he is three years old, and he still looks like this. The Buddha beads seem to grow with his wrist."

"This prayer bead is for the owner, Jing Yu is a good fortune." The emperor took off the jade pendant around his waist and gave it to Jing Yu, then reached out and patted Jing Yu's little butt, "Go and play!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!" Jing Yu held the jade pendant engraved with dragon patterns fondly, and pulled Ling Yao back to Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli.

This jade pendant is the emperor's personal possession, it was given to him by the previous emperor, this dragon pendant should be a status symbol, but now the emperor gave it to Jing Yu, what does it mean?
All the people present used their brains to guess what the emperor was thinking.

Concubine Xian clenched her hands tightly into fists, and slowly retracted them into her sleeves.

Shangguan Ruoli held his daughter and son's hands, thinking about the emperor's intentions.Isn't this sending Jing Yu to the forefront?

Eunuch Zheng shook off the Buddha dust and reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, almost everyone has arrived."

The emperor put away the smile on his face, and said lightly: "Let's announce the decree!"

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down to accept the order. There were so many people that the whole hall was full of kneeling.

As expected by Dongming Ziyu, the emperor made Jin Wang Dongming Zijin the crown prince, and from now on he will assist the six ministries and assist the government.

After the decree of conferring the crown prince was promulgated, the imperial decree of conferring the king and land was read out.

King Xuan's fief of Dongming Ziyu is located in two counties on the southwestern border of Nanyun, which is one-third of the original fiefdom of King Qin.In such a small place, where the birds don't shit, I'm afraid they can't even support the servants in the mansion.

But fortunately, it is next to Yuancheng and close to Peach Blossom Island, which is the only advantage.Fortunately, Dongming Ziyu didn't expect the fief to make a fortune, so he wasn't too disappointed.

The Sixth Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince who had reached the age of 15 were named King Chu, King Heng, and King Ling respectively.

The queen mother and concubine of Chu had the lowest status, and her fief was in the bitter cold northeast, but it occupied a large area, bordering Beiling.

Hengwang's fief is in the west, and it is also very barren, bordering Xirong.

King Ling's fief is in the land of Shu. Although it is a little richer than other princes' fiefs, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is separated from the Central Plains by high mountains.

The fiefdoms of several princes are very remote, and they are not dependent on each other, so it is not easy to unite.

Moreover, they are all poor. They went to the fief, and they will not cultivate their own power in the short term. When they stabilize, the prince's position will also be stable.

The emperor didn't let them leave Beijing immediately to entrust the land, but waited for him to leave after the Longevity Festival, which was only more than a month away.

Dongming Ziyu was quite calm, but the Sixth Prince, Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince and their mother and concubine were not calm, their faces were so gloomy that water could drip out, and the eighth prince's mother and concubine, Concubine Jin, were all crying.

The last imperial decree was to deal with the seventh prince, who was demoted to common people, removed from the royal family, and banned from entering Beijing for life.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, all the princes gave thanks.

Then, the emperor announced that he would set up the Qiankun Palace, where the banquet for the Western missions would be held.

The delicacies, singing and dancing, and the "grotesque" Westerners couldn't calm down everyone's mood. They all had their own thoughts and weighed their future choices.

The happiest people are probably only the children, but they are all well-educated children, they don't know how to point and point at Westerners, but their eyes are full of curiosity.

However, the children's novelty was only for a short while, and they couldn't sit still after eating and drinking, and they were taken out to play by the servants one by one.

Jing Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and said coquettishly to Shangguan Ruoli, "Concubine Mu, I want to go out to play, it's too noisy here."

Ling Yao also said: "I want to go too!"

Naturally, Shangguan Ruoli would not restrain the child, so he asked the maid of the two to follow, and at the same time asked Zhuyue to follow.

Seeing the tenth prince on the opposite side, he turned his eyes, and said something to the newly appointed prince, and led the little eunuch out of the hall from behind.

Dongming Zijin wasn't too proud of being the crown prince, he looked indifferent, just like usual, and greeted the people who came to curry favor.

"Princess Xuan, I hereby offer you a toast! Thank you, Princess Xuan, for saving her life to save the prince." A lady wearing a third-rank uniform raised a wine glass to toast Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli saw that she was the wife of Lord Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, the mother of Concubine Shu, and the grandmother of the crown prince.

She speaks earnestly and looks sincere, but there is always something wrong there.

Is it really appropriate to say this on the cusp of this storm?

Also, you are so thankful, why did it take so long, and you didn't go to the Prince Xuan's Mansion to thank you in person, and didn't even send you a thank you gift?

Shangguan Ruoli smiled lightly and said: "Sacrificing one's life is not counted. This concubine knows how to defend herself, and naturally she will not disregard the safety of herself and the prince's children. That kind of situation is what Princess Xuan should do. Otherwise, if something happens to the crown prince, there will be so many Confused, I thought my prince had neglected his duty."

Her voice was not loud, but with some internal strength, it was enough for the people around her to hear clearly.

Mrs. Zhao's expression froze slightly, and she put on a smiling face again, saying: "Princess Xuan's words are absolutely true, those rumors outside are not credible, they are all slanders by people with bad intentions, Wangfei don't take it to heart."
