Chapter 384 Siblings
Chapter 384 Siblings
Jiaofang Hall.
Princess Qin Mingyue of Hengshan sat behind a desk in the flower hall, copying scriptures with a pen. Copying scriptures and practicing calligraphy are supposed to help calm one's mind, but her brows could not hide her excitement.
This morning she went to Zhaozheng Hall to pay her respects to her father, and her father told her that he planned to make her ninth brother the crown prince.
Although she was reprimanded by her father for instigating her grandfather to send someone to advise her to make her seventh brother the crown prince, she had achieved her goal. So what did being punished by copying scriptures matter?
As a princess, although she could not attend court, she could still interfere in state affairs and influence her father's decision through some means, which made Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue very excited.
If it weren't for her, I don't know whether my father would have thought of appointing a crown prince.
After writing two strokes, she looked up and looked around randomly, and suddenly saw the Ninth Prince Qin Mingxuan returning from Qilin Palace from the window. Princess Qin Mingyue of Hengshan raised her eyebrows and her eyes curved into crescents.
"Xiaojiu!" Qin Mingyue excitedly waved to the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan.
"I heard from my father that he is going to make you the crown prince?"
When the Ninth Prince Qin Mingxuan approached, Qin Mingyue spoke excitedly in a low voice.
Qin Mingxuan frowned slightly, shook his head, and lowered his eyes to hide the unswerving feeling rising in his heart.
As the eldest son, he has no misconduct, is mentally sound, and physically intact. The position of crown prince should have been his. It was just a matter of time.
He knew yesterday that his father was going to make him the crown prince. But his second sister, even though she already knew that he was going to become the crown prince, was still so "careless".
Calling him is like calling a slave.
His sister, who was born to the same mother, was so casual with him. How could he establish his authority and intimidate his brothers and ministers after he became the crown prince?
"Why are you frowning? Don't you believe me?" Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue raised her eyebrows and raised her tone, unable to hide the pride in her heart.
"If it weren't for my planning and grandfather's practice, how could the emperor have thought of making you, my ninth brother, the crown prince? This is the last thing I will do for you before I leave the palace. How do you plan to thank me?
Also, someone wanted to put the blame for framing my seventh brother on you, but I helped you block it. You must remember your sister's kindness in all these things."
Qin Mingyue straightened her face and said seriously.
"How do you want me to repay you, Second Sister?" The Ninth Prince Qin Mingxuan said indifferently.
Qin Mingyue thought carefully for a moment, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "It's still too early, you are still young, I can get what I want by myself, you are not as good as me."
If the princes and princesses are ranked together, she is the sixth. Among her brothers and sisters, she is neither the eldest nor the youngest, but she is the first to be officially canonized.
The princes and princesses who have been officially canonized now include Princess Hengshan, her eldest sister Qin Ronglu, the former Princess Wuyang, who was changed to Princess of Wei after marriage, and Qin Lingyi, the former Princess Zhaode, who was changed to Princess of Shu after marriage.
From this perspective, it seems that my father is still a bit harsh on me.
When her father officially issues an edict to appoint her ninth brother as the crown prince, she wonders if her other brothers and sisters can also benefit from it. She also wants to be named the Princess of Chu.
She didn't want to change her title because of an arranged marriage or marriage. She wanted to be crowned Princess of Chu together with her brothers as kings.
As for why she was a princess of the State of Chu...she once asked her mother what the Hengshan in her title meant. Her mother told her that the Hengshan in her title referred to Hengshan County in the territory of the State of Chu, just like her eldest sister Wuyang County in the territory of the State of Wei and her third sister Zhaode County in the territory of the State of Shu, all of which were county names.
Although she was a little disappointed that the word Hengshan meant the same as the title of her imperial sister, which was also the name of a county, Qin Mingyue had no choice.
Bigger titles: Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu. Qin is her family name. Jin and Qi were used by her great-aunt and aunt. She didn't want to give the Chu to any of her brothers and sisters.
