The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 140
The entire hall fell in silence as Pei Zhang Xi set his feet one by one rising onto the stage where the Emperor's layover was. Queen Zhu had such a dark face with tightly clenched hands making her handbook turn white and her palms flushed red from being hit by the wooden handle of the chair. All the concubines looked at Consort Su with envious gazes. They cursed their son who did not give them a grandson.
Concubine Su who was looked at enviously by all the other emperor ladies did not even have the time to notice them. His eyes were also fixed on the face of the little baby who was in the arms of his son. It really reminded her of Pei Zhang Xi who was still a baby. Both are very similar. Like the big version and the small version. But after seeing the baby's sharp eyebrows, Su's concubine's lips pursed. Then looked at Lu Jing Yu with sympathy. It seemed like her daughter-in-law would also feel what she felt while raising Pei Zhang Xi that there had never been any funny-happiness in the slightest.
"Maha." The laughter of emperor Pei An Long echoed throughout the hall as he held the baby who had just woken up and looked at him with eyes that shone full of curiosity.
"I finally have a grandson. And he could be my grandson. Look how much he looks like me. Haha."
"No. My son certainly looks like me. Can't it be similar to Father emperor?!" Pei Zhang Xi did not accept. He was already very proud when Everyone said that his son really resembled him. Now all of a sudden this old man wanted to snatch his son away from him. Can't be allowed.
"Brazed kid! Where do you think you inherited that not-so-looking face from if not from me, huh? Still dare to take my granddaughter away from me."
"He is my son. How can I be called the one who took it." Pei Zhang Xi was completely unwilling to budge.
"Uhuk! Sorry, Your Majesty, good times will soon pass." Seeing the father and son pair fighting over each other the baby who was just staring at them in a daze, Eunuch Song coughed lightly to stop the two from acting like a child.
"Oohs... Then read my word now." Pei An Long's face turned serious. Pei Zhang Xi as well. The two no longer argue over the unimportant.
"Please King and empress Rui to come forward and accept the edict." Eunuch Song's words made everyone look up. They looked in disbelief at Lu Jing Yu aided with Xiao Bei advancing and standing on equal footing with Pei Zhang Xi who had already stepped off the stage. The recent problems occurred continuously and always involved the two people who were currently being summoned by the Emperor to despise the edict after resolving so many problems that tried to harm them. This time it's not simple.
"We are ready to accept the decree." Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu said together. Usually when receiving an edict, everyone had to kneel down to receive it. But due to Lu Jing Yu's unlikely condition, it was understandable if the two stood with Pei Zhang Xi helping Lu Jing Yu prop himself up.
"Prince Pei Zhang Xi, the fourth son of His Highness Emperor Pei An Long, who had the title of King Rui, was virtuous, having countless merits in order to secure the sovereignty of the Shao empire. Dedicated to carrying out his duties as the main chairman of the Yunguang Bureau who has managed to solve many difficult cases. Proven to be the leader of a nation. By this sacred decree, the emperor would bestow the position of Crown Prince to his Majesty King Rui. From now on, King Rui will be His Highness the Crown Prince of Shao empire."
"Miss Lu Jing Yu, the first daughter of prime minister Lu Qin Hao who has the title of Honorary Empress Rui, is virtuous and has compassion towards her fellows. Have extensive knowledge and contribute in completing public practice. As well as the son-in-law who gave the first grandson to the Shao empire, it gave happiness and hope to the Shao empire. Seemed worthy and worthy to be a candidate for first lady. Considering carefully the advantages possessed, with this sacred order, the Emperor will bestow the position of Crown Princess the head of His Highness the Honorary Empress Rui. From this moment on, Honorary Empress Rui will be Her Highness Imperial Crown Princess Shao."
"I, Lu Jing Yu, accept the emperor's sacred edict."
"The official coronation ceremony will take place on the fifth day of next month. One Sunday from now and will be held in conjunction with the naming of the baby sons and daughters of the Crown which will be held in the palace." Continue Eunuch Song in a loud voice. Sweeping his gaze across the entire hall.
"Thank you for the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor." Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu thanked him simultaneously.
"Long the life of His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Highness the Crown Prince. Long live Your Highness Crown Princess."
Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu looked at each other. Both of them exhaled considering the deal they talked about last night. After Pei Qin Yang faced the Emperor and made the decision to remain standing by Zhu Man Xie's side, the Emperor deliberately asked Eunuch Song to pass this news to King Rui's residence to make Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu take the decision to let Pei Qin Yang accept the punishment or come to the palace to save his brother. But with consideration if they came, perhaps the opportunity would not be given up by the Emperor to elevate Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu to the Crown's son and daughter.
