The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 174 174. Gift

As soon as these words came out, many people laughed at him.

In all the countries present, men are respected. Only in the country of Tingli, women are respected. Naturally, this has touched the bottom line of many people. From time to time, they will say a few sarcastic words in order to highlight their sense of superiority. .

I saw the goddess looking indifferently towards where the third prince was. There was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person. She slowly walked up from below and passed by the third prince. She didn't even bother to say hello. Emperor Qi said softly.

“The goddess Yueyao of Tingli has met His Majesty Emperor Qi, and wishes His Majesty a long life.”

The sound is as clear and beautiful as the echo in an empty valley, making it very pleasant to hear.

 “The goddess has come a long way and has had a hard journey.”

When Emperor Qi said this, he looked straight at her. His glazed eyes seemed to be breathtaking, making people involuntarily focus on her.

　　"Mr. Qi Li has a special handwritten letter, which she dedicated to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will accept it."

As soon as these words came out, many people sneered. Sure enough, a woman is in charge of the house, and the money is so shabby. Since when can even a handwritten letter be used as a congratulatory gift?

The envoys next to him were all embarrassed by Ting Li. Who knew that after Emperor Qi read the handwritten letter, he actually stepped down from the stage, lifted up the half-kneeling Yue Yao, and looked at the audience as if he was deeply attracted by her eyes. You all said.

"From now on, the goddess Qi Li will be canonized as Concubine Shu and given the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace." After saying this, he turned to Yue Yao and asked, "I wonder if the goddess is still satisfied?"

I saw her obediently and meekly bowing her head in thanks, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

 Then she gently lifted the veil on her face, and everyone present was shocked by her beauty.

Many years ago, one of the former emperor's concubines made all the concubines of the Sixth Palace lose their luster, but it was still not as impactful as the goddess Qi Li in front of her.

If the one back then was the most beautiful in the world, the one now is shocking to heaven and man.

Even the third prince Jiao Rong, who had made rude remarks before, almost lost control and couldn't help but stare at her face.

"My beloved concubine..." Emperor Qi was so fascinated by just seeing her eyes. Now that he saw the whole picture, he would rather die under the peonies. The enthusiasm and possessive desire in his eyes were so obvious, and he suddenly laughed loudly and said , "This move of the female monarch is what I like the most. Within a hundred years, the two countries will have good relations for generations, and there will never be any war that will reach Tili!"

　Such a positive tone made many people who were addicted to her beauty sober up a lot.

The first people to feel the crisis are Duke Wei and the Ninth Prince. Concubine Wei has received a lot of benefits from her beauty since she entered the palace, but now that her age is considered, she wants to be with her who is young, beautiful and somewhat mysterious. Comparing it with the Goddess Tili, I'm afraid it's a little underwhelming.

It doesn’t matter if I take away His Majesty’s favor, what I fear most is giving birth to Lin’er.

Given Emperor Qi's obsession with him, it's hard to say whether that child will become the next King Ding. Such a huge threat is much more difficult to deal with than the eldest prince's faction in front of him.

 Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. However, if the opponent does not know where he is coming from, he can have such a huge impact, which should not be underestimated.

So he opened his mouth to stop her and said, "Your Majesty, please think again. The goddess is an envoy. If she stays with me as a concubine in Jin Dynasty, I am afraid it will damage the friendship between the two countries!"

“Don’t worry, Lord, the handwriting of Queen Qi Li has exactly this meaning, dedicating Yue Yao to me as my concubine.”

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. There are thousands of daughters in the Jin Dynasty. If your Majesty intends to choose a concubine and hold a grand ceremony, then he can do it. But the goddess has no heirs and no achievements. She directly became a concubine and was given the power to assist in the six palaces. , wouldn’t it be a joke for outsiders to say that the rules and laws of Jin Dynasty are child’s play? Your Majesty, please think again!” After saying that, he knelt down on the spot, and a large number of people behind him also knelt down, lowered their heads and said loudly, “Please Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Emperor Qi glanced at Duke Wei with his narrow eyes, and his dissatisfaction was ready to come out. Although the Wei family had contributed a lot when he ascended the throne, he had never shown any mercy to the Wei family in return for these years, even towards Concubine Wei. All the Ninth Princes love him more. If the Wei family is so aggressive, they really don't take him seriously.

He said in a conspiratorial tone, "The Duke of the country is so loud. When will it be your turn to make my decision? Do you want to give up the throne to your Wei family?"

It sounds like a joking tone, but in fact everyone close to Emperor Qi knows that he is angry.

He is not a puppet emperor. The previous emperor had many sons and they were all powerful. He fought for nearly twenty years to ascend to the throne of the emperor. Behind him, he was made of the flesh and blood of countless brothers.

 In the more than ten years he has been in office, the power in his hands has never been relaxed.

It is simply wishful thinking for Duke Wei to try to show off his prestige on his mountain by relying on his status.

These words made Duke Wei's usually calm face look more worried, "Your Majesty, please be careful. The duty of an minister is to assist your Majesty. If your Majesty insists on accepting the goddess as your concubine, please give up the old minister's official position. Such an old minister can only It is worthy of the late emperor’s entrustment.”

With tears streaming down his face, loyal ministers remonstrated.

He did a good job in this play. Prince Kang and Duke Zheng looked at each other with disdain.

Wei Guogong has been an official for three dynasties. It is strange that he is really willing to put down his authority. He just wanted to intimidate Emperor Qi by saying this, but it was a pity that it aroused his rebellion.

The beauty is naturally unwilling to let go, and there are also envoys from foreign vassals present. If he, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, softens and shrinks at this time, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

"Oh? Since Duke Wei misses the late emperor so much, why not go and guard the imperial mausoleum and spend more time talking to your father."

These words made Duke Wei's face turn red and his eyes wide open. He didn't believe that these words were coming from His Majesty's mouth!

Then, Emperor Qi glanced at the ministers who were kneeling below him, and said directly, "If that beloved minister wants to go to guard the imperial mausoleum with the Duke, please come forward now, and I will confer him the title of Yuanshi Taoist immediately. , just take good care of your father for me all your life."

Yuanshi Taoist was not only demoted, but also completely deprived future generations of his family of the path to officialdom.

 Who among those who can be ranked here has not come from the officialdom with swords, guns and halberds, how can he be willing to let go of his authority? Even if he is loyal and does not care about his own career, he must still worry about the prosperity of his family and the future of his children and grandchildren.

 At this point, no one dares to refute it.

 Seeing the ministers lowering their heads and not daring to say anything, Emperor Qi felt the bad breath in his heart.

The emperor is majestic, and he cannot be provoked just because he wants to. People like them should also be shown what it means to accompany the emperor like a tiger.

The Ninth Prince wanted to open his mouth to defend Duke Wei, but was stopped by his eyes.

Where there is life, there is hope.
