HCB Chapter 341 Giving Name
Chapter 341 Giving Name
Today, Eunuch De saw the emperor smiling, and he was happy and talked more.
There were bursts of laughter in the imperial study.
Just at this time,
From outside the door came the greetings of the guards.
"May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health. May the Empress be blessed with good health."
Eunuch De immediately went out to greet her and almost bumped into the Empress Dowager's cane.
Before Eunuch De could even say hello, a cry of grief made him shut his mouth immediately.
He bowed respectfully and stepped aside.
"My grandson, you really frightened the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager walked in hurriedly, followed closely by the Empress with red and swollen eyes.
*
The prince hurried forward and helped the Queen Mother and the Empress into the house.
Kneel down and kowtow respectfully,
"Your grandson pays respects to the Empress Dowager. Your son pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Hurry up and let the Empress Dowager take a good look. You have lost weight, really lost weight! The prince has suffered this time!"
The Queen Mother raised her hand and touched the Prince's face, tears streaming down her face.
"My son, your mother has finally brought you back!"
Queen Qin reached out and hugged her son's thin body, covering her mouth with tears falling.
The prince's eyes also turned red.
Seeing the two women coming, the atmosphere in the imperial study became sad again.
Emperor Kun then interrupted.
"My son, I send my regards to my mother."
The Queen Mother glared angrily and said,
"What's the point of being calm? You didn't even send someone to inform me of such a serious matter as the crown prince falling ill. Where did you put me? Ahem…"
"Mother? Please take care of yourself."
Queen Qin hurriedly smoothed the Queen Mother's back.
*
The Queen Mother was filled with resentment towards Emperor Kun and was so angry that she pushed Queen Qin away.
"Bang bang bang" He walked up to Emperor Kun with a cane and hit him twice on the back with his hand.
"Ouch!"
Emperor Kun pretended to cry out in pain, and helplessly supported the Queen Mother and said,
"Mother, the prince is still here!"
"I just want the prince to keep an eye on me. Don't think that just because I'm old, you can ignore an old woman like me.
If the prince had not returned safely, I would never have spared you."
"Yes, yes. Mother, I was wrong! I will never hide anything from you in the future!"
Emperor Kun admitted his mistake with a smile and helped the Empress Dowager to sit down.
Changing the subject,
"Mother, I was just discussing with the Crown Prince about the two children's marriage to Jade Butterfly. It just so happens that you are here. Can you take a look at the two names and see if they are suitable?"
"Oh? Tell me."
The Empress Dowager's attention was diverted again.
The words that the prince wanted to say to Emperor Kun today were temporarily kept in his mouth because of the arrival of Queen Qin.
*
I heard my father say to my grandmother,
"Mother, the little grandson is named Liang Yuhao. The little princess is named Liang Jianing. They all mean peace, health and happiness."
"Yes, that's right. A good name. Emperor, the prince has made great contributions this time. Giving the name is the honor that the two children deserve."
"As long as the Queen Mother is satisfied!"
Emperor Kun smiled broadly.
The Empress Dowager was happy, and the Empress should be happy too!
As for the fact that the emperor bestowed names on the two children and recorded them in the royal imperial edict as soon as the prince returned to the capital, the ministers below were also very enthusiastic and congratulated him repeatedly.
No one jumped out to cause trouble again.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s life was hanging by a thread and he almost couldn’t come back.
After all, the low pressure in the Golden Palace during those days almost suffocated them.
As soon as Eunuch De conveyed the emperor's oral instructions, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory immediately reached a consensus. Because they were well prepared,
He said directly that it was better to hold the ceremony today than to wait for another day, so the auspicious day was chosen to be the day after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the palace.
So it was reported to Emperor Kun for approval.
On the second day,
Everyone held a grand ceremony to engrave the royal jade book for the two children in the East Palace.
From then on, the small star anise and small pepper were officially named Liang Yuhao and Liang Jianing.
Everyone in the East Palace was busy, and everyone had a happy face.
*
In the afternoon, after finishing his busy work, the prince did not bring Eunuch Fu with him. He was followed by only one guard and went directly to the imperial study from the study outside the East Palace.
Eunuch De, who was waiting at the door, saw the prince approaching at a glance, bowed and said with a smile on his face,
"Your Highness, the Emperor is still taking a nap. Do you have any urgent business?"
"Eunuch De, I do have something urgent to attend to. Please let me know."
"Oh, Your Highness, you are too polite, this is what I should do.
Hehehe… Today the little grandson and the little princess are dressed so festively, just like two cute New Year dolls.”
Eunuch De smiled softly and finished speaking.
Then he walked into the imperial study quietly.
After a while, he came out with a smile and said,
"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you in."
"Thank you!"
Eunuch De was puzzled as he saw the prince's face suddenly become serious.
*
In the imperial study room.
Emperor Kun, who was woken up after a short nap, looked a little unhappy after hearing the prince's words.
"Prince, you are pushing your luck!"
The prince knelt on the ground and said stubbornly,
"I beg your Majesty to grant me the permission to depose the Consort. The Crown Princess is unworthy of her position and she plotted to murder Consort Fang. She deserves death.
She is jealous, murderous, and has committed numerous crimes. She is truly unworthy of the position of Crown Princess."
Emperor Kun raised his hand to interrupt the prince's words. He glanced at the prince and calmed down.
He did not rebuke loudly, but said earnestly,
"As the crown prince, if you depose the crown princess, the scandal of the inner court of the Eastern Palace will be known to the world. It will damage the reputation of your Eastern Palace.
Moreover, Concubine Zhang has already died. If the Crown Princess is deposed again.
Prince, have you ever thought about the consequences this will bring to you?
You will definitely be impeached by the censors, saying that you, the prince, are not strict in managing the family and are not up to the responsibility. Will you still do this?"
Emperor Kun stopped there and said no more.
The prince knelt on the ground, raised his head after a few breaths, and said in a firm tone,
"Father, I don't want my two children to be in danger all the time."
The prince said this and said no more.
*
There was silence in the imperial study for a moment.
"That's all! I agree. But please don't cause any trouble with your mother."
Emperor Kun actually felt sorry for the prince in his heart, and finally compromised.
"Thank you, Father! I understand."
Emperor Kun shouted to the outside of the door,
"Tokuko."
Eunuch De immediately opened the door and walked in.
"Your Majesty. I am here."
"Dezi, pass on my order. Crown Princess Zhao Yaxue is jealous, has a serious illness, and has committed sins of the mouth. She is unworthy of the position and cannot be the Crown Princess.
The plot to murder Fang Liangdi is an unforgivable crime. I will now strip you of your title of Crown Princess and demote you to a commoner. I will also annul your engagement with the Crown Prince.
Sent to the royal temple to practice Buddhism with uncut hair."
Eunuch De, who was listening to the decree, looked up at the prince in surprise and said,
"Well, I will go to the East Palace to pass on the order immediately."
Eunuch De hurried out.
"Thank you, Father."
The prince achieved his goal, knelt down respectfully and walked out.
After leaving the imperial study, the prince did not return to the Eastern Palace, but went to Kunning Palace with a personal guard.
