Chapter 406 Who will be the crown prince in the future? It is still uncertain
The Seventh Prince responded with some awkwardness. His well-thought-out plan had been put on hold because of this sudden change.
Without Princess Huizhu chattering beside him, he felt very uncomfortable. He drank several glasses of wine in a row and had no intention of watching the rest of the performance.
It was not until the banquet was over that he was sent out of the palace in a daze.
His followers and staff were already waiting outside. When they saw that he did not look very well and Princess Huizhu, who was going with him, had not shown up yet, they knew that something big had happened.
The group was afraid that if they said anything outside they would be caught, so they quickly went back to the embassy where they were temporarily staying.
When they learned that Princess Huizhu was chosen by the emperor and named Concubine Hui, the staff applauded.
"Your Highness is right. Instead of marrying the prince like betting on a prize, it is better to directly rely on the current emperor..."
"That's right. Even if you are the crown prince, there is no guarantee that you will ascend to the throne. You never know what will happen one day..."
"Hehe...what do you mean by crown prince or not? If you ask me, our princess is already the queen. It's just a matter of whispering in her ear. Who will be the crown prince in the future? It's up to her to decide..."
None of the staff had expected such a good thing to happen, mainly because Princess Huizhu had extremely high standards and had long since set her sights on the princes. No one dared to think about an old man like the emperor.
Of course, even if the emperor is an old man, he is the most noble old man in the world, and no one else can compare to him.
"Now that things have changed, our previous plan might actually be able to come to fruition."
"Our beloved little princess has grown up to be so bright and beautiful. If she enters the harem, the emperor will have to obey her in everything, right?"
"After all, he is the emperor of the dynasty. Let's send a message to the palace and ask our Concubine Hui to control her temper..."
A group of people talked to each other and soon analyzed the current situation clearly.
The Seventh Prince, who was a little confused at first, thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, and he felt relieved.
Just at this time the emperor sent a lot of rewards over. The seventh prince quickly seized the opportunity, saying that Princess Huizhu had come here from far away and was unfamiliar with the place, so she must want to go home, so he asked for a few servants to be sent in.
"In a palace as big as ours, there is no shortage of servants. Don't worry, Prince Seven. Concubine Hui has made all the arrangements. His Majesty has even asked her to sleep with him tonight..."
Faced with the seventh prince's request, the old eunuch who accompanied him did not hesitate at all and lightly rejected it.
"Besides, now that Concubine Hui has come to the Yuan Dynasty, she must adapt to the local customs. She must change her previous habits in Beidi."
The old eunuch said something with a fake smile, turned around and was about to leave with his men.
The Seventh Prince had been pampered since childhood and had never been confronted like this before. He immediately became unhappy, with a gloomy face, and was too lazy to say anything.
The staff had no choice but to take out a stack of silver bills from their pockets and stuff them over to the old eunuch, which then made the old eunuch look a little more favorable.
Fortunately, this man did get the job done after taking the silver note. Although he did not bring his servants into the palace, he helped deliver a letter to the current Concubine Hui.
Of course, such things are not that secretive. Although the letters are written in the Northern Di language, the content is just asking Princess Huizhu to serve the emperor well and not to act like a spoiled child.
There were many capable people around the emperor, so the Northern Di characters were naturally no problem to them. After checking that there were no problems, the document was quickly sent to Concubine Hui.
But they didn't know that since the letter was handed over to the old eunuch so openly, naturally nothing could be seen on the surface.
But in fact, a secret medicine unique to the Beidi royal family was used.
Once a written letter is soaked in the potion, the writing on it will disappear completely.
After receiving this letter, Concubine Hui, who was trapped in the harem, finally calmed down.
Naturally, Yuxiu didn't need to worry about these things. When she left the palace banquet, she told Princess Ning the news she had obtained.
"Don't worry, I will discuss countermeasures with your uncle as soon as he comes back."
Princess Ning gritted her teeth. It seemed that Xu Jinren's previous guess was very accurate. The so-called peace talks of the Northern Di people this time were aimed at their family.
Xu Jinren was kept by the emperor and has not returned yet. It is estimated that he is here to discuss something.
Yuxiu smiled and nodded. If the Seventh Prince really insisted on marrying her, he would be courting death.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed and it was Yuxiu's coming-of-age day.
On this day, Prince Ning's mansion was decorated with lights and there were people coming and going, making it very lively.
Yuxiu's family also moved back to the courtyard of Prince Ning's Mansion the day before, which made the old princess almost smile from ear to ear.
Princess Ning and the Second Madam are in charge of things here, so Yuxiu's family doesn't need to do anything. They just need to get themselves ready and go out to entertain the guests.
As Yuxiu was the protagonist of the day, the old princess specially sent Nanny Lin to follow her around and take care of her in case anything went wrong.
The banquet went very smoothly. Xu Jinren hadn't been back for a long time, so many people took the opportunity to come and reminisce with him.
Just when everyone began to relax and talk and laugh, the emperor's reward came down, and it was delivered personally by the two princes.
Not only that, the seventh prince of Beidi also got the news at some point, and followed the second prince with a smile, and also came to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Several princes came in person. Although Xu Jinren had a headache, he had no choice but to take people to the door to greet them.
At this time, the coming-of-age ceremony in the hall was almost over, and a kind-looking old lady was helping Yuxiu put on her hairpin.
This is the blessed old man specially invited by the old princess, implying that Yuxiu will have a smooth life, without disasters and pains, and naturally, a happy and fulfilling life.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time, so the gift can still be delivered."
Qi Siyuan looked at Yuxiu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. He was amazed, but couldn't help frowning.
"Is this the general's niece? She is so beautiful that I feel sorry for her..."
After the princes were invited to take their seats, the Seventh Prince's eyes lit up when he looked at Yuxiu.
