Chapter 339 The Year
Emperor Zhao frowned, "So, you were the one who saved Old Six?"
The orphan of the general who guards the country?
Xu Zhongmu still has living descendants!
Yuan Man said: "No, he was saved by Xu Yiheng, the youngest son of the general who guards the country."
"And I have a sister-brother relationship with them. We have only taken care of each other for two years."
"During the disaster, I met them begging on the street, so we can be said to be siblings who share the same adversity."
"This time, Xiao Jin knew we were coming to Zhao State, so he told us their true identities."
"This is Zhao State. I am the Crown Princess of An State, so I can't help them too much."
"But we also went to check on Xiaojin's family."
"What we can find out, I believe His Majesty Emperor Zhao can also find out."
"So I want to vindicate the general and let Xiao Jin go home. That's not too much, right?"
Emperor Zhao looked at her sharply.
It’s not too much, how can it be not too much?
The case of Xu Zhongmu was ultimately decided by him, and overturning the verdict would be tantamount to him admitting that he had made a wrong judgment at the time.
"Then the Crown Princess should know that once the general is rehabilitated, there will be a lot of trouble involved."
Yuan Man raised his lips and said, "That's not something I can control."
"My only request is to let Xiao Jin go home, to let him go home with a legitimate reason."
"This also completes the friendship between us siblings."
Emperor Zhao looked calm on the surface, but he had his own considerations in his mind.
Yuan Man looked at Emperor Zhao and said seriously, "Emperor Zhao does not have to worry about whether our relationship as siblings will bring any harm to the State of Zhao."
"First, the four countries have signed a peace agreement. We will not and will not do such tricks. After all, with my financial resources and strength, I don't need to do these things."
"Secondly, Xiaoxuan is only four years old. He can't participate in the succession, let alone fight for the throne. Yiheng is only ten years old. What kind of trouble can these two children cause?"
Emperor Zhao looked at Hui Chengyuan and asked, "Prince Xiaoning, what do you say?"
Hye Seung-won looked him straight in the eye.
"What the Crown Princess meant is what this Crown Prince meant, and this is what the Crown Princess wanted to do."
"Just as the Crown Princess said, the four nations have signed a peace agreement for a hundred years, and there are still fifty years to go."
The peace agreement not only prohibits war, but also prohibits countries from participating in another country's royal succession war.
Fifty years later, not to mention that they are all old and may have been buried, even Xu Yiheng and the others are old.
Emperor Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will consider this matter."
"It's getting late now, why don't we move to the main hall and have lunch first."
Hui Chengyuan and Yuan Man stood up.
"Okay, I'll wait for good news from His Majesty Emperor Zhao."
Emperor Zhao walked out ahead of them, and the two followed closely behind him.
When Chief Steward Qian, who was standing outside the palace, saw them coming, he immediately shouted, "Your Majesty is here..."
"Crown Prince Xiaoning and Crown Princess have arrived."
"Long live the emperor." All the ministers and their families immediately stood up and paid their respects.
The Queen and the concubines also stood up and curtseyed.
Emperor Zhao smiled as he walked, "Gentlemen, please stand up. Today is the Qiming Festival Banquet. Please be at your leisure."
Everyone stood up to express their gratitude, and then bowed to Hui Chengyuan and Yuan Man.
Hu Helan was stunned when she saw Hui Chengyuan and Yuan Man walking behind Emperor Zhao.
He is the crown prince, and that arrogant woman is actually the crown princess!
Sima Jing was also stunned when she saw them. Thinking of the agreement she had signed, her face became even uglier for a moment.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "No need to be polite."
He followed Emperor Zhao to the seat below him, then raised his hand and saluted towards the Queen, before sitting down with Yuan Man.
After everyone was seated, he raised his wine glass and looked towards Emperor Zhao.
"Today is Zhao's Qiming Festival. This prince wishes Zhao prosperity and the people happiness."
Emperor Zhao laughed and raised his glass, "Thank you, Crown Prince Xiaoning."
After the two of them drank the wine, everyone started to eat.
Hu Helan lowered her skirt low, pressing it against her chest as if her neck could not bear the weight of her head.
Seeing this, He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Hu Helan glanced at Yuan Man, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The Crown Princess is the one my daughter was talking about."
"What!" He looked at Yuanman in surprise.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately leaned close to the prime minister's ear and repeated what he had said.
The prime minister frowned. No wonder the people he sent found nothing.
Seeing that Princess Anguo didn't even look over here, he gestured for He to sit down.
Yuan Man didn't look anywhere, just lowered his eyes and ate the food in front of him.
To be honest, every place has its own flavor.
Yuanman ate slowly and before he knew it he had finished the cotton vegetable cake in front of him, then he reached out his chopsticks to Hui Chengyuan.
Hui Chengyuan was originally talking in a flattering manner with Emperor Zhao, but when he saw her move, he immediately stopped her.
"Be good, don't eat too much of this."
"If you like it, you can have someone prepare it tomorrow."
Yuanman retracted his chopsticks, then put them down and stopped eating.
Seeing this, Hui Chengyuan picked up a piece of game and put it in her bowl.
"Try this, it tastes good too."
Yuanman ate it and found it quite good, but she didn’t continue eating it.
Seeing her fiddling with her wine glass in boredom, the Queen chuckled and said, "Crown Princess, how about I call you A-Man?"
Yuan Man looked at him, frowned slightly, and nodded with a smile, "Queen, please do as you please."
The queen smiled and nodded, "Are you bored, A-Man?"
"How about letting the ladies from various families perform? There just so happens that there are three unmarried princes. We can take a look at them all and choose a princess."
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and looked at her, remembering the intelligence that the Sima family had rejected Prince Heng's proposal.
So, the Queen wants Prince Heng to give up the Sima family and make a new choice?
Thinking back to the information I had read, the Sima family might not necessarily support the Queen.
But they must support Prince Heng, after all, Prince Heng is from the Sima family.
Rejecting Prince Heng's marriage proposal does not mean that they will not support Prince Heng, but it is more likely that they want to see the attitude of Emperor Zhao.
Those who truly belong to the Queen's Party are actually just small fry.
Yuan Man smiled, but what he said made the queen's face turn pale.
"Isn't today the Qiming Festival? Why are we still holding a talent show?"
"Then I'm afraid we've come to the wrong place. After all, we are from Anguo, and it's not convenient for us to participate in your country's talent show."
Emperor Zhao glanced at the Queen, then looked at Yuan Man and said with a smile, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. The Queen drank too much and was a little confused for a moment."
These words really trampled on the queen's face.
Concubine Hu Shu picked up the wine glass and hid the smile in her eyes.
Concubine Bai looked on expressionlessly, as if what happened here had nothing to do with her.
But then again, what does the queen do to her?
Sima Yi's expression changed. He glanced at Emperor Zhao and then lowered his eyes.
He knew she was stupid, but he didn't expect her to be so stupid.
It seems that the Fifth Prince cannot be left with her to be raised, otherwise he will become corrupted sooner or later.
