Yuan Ce's words made the court officials gasp. Everyone knew that the queen had been deposed and was now in the cold palace.

How could an intelligent person dare to mention the queen? But Yuan Ce mentioned it anyway. I don’t know if the emperor would be angry.

Emperor Xuanwu's expression did not change. He just looked at Yuan Ce for a long while before he slowly spoke:

"allow!"

The Queen Mother frowned upon hearing this.

"emperor!"

She had disagreed with deposing the queen before, and now she actually wanted the fourth prince to take the queen to his own fiefdom.

Emperor Xuanwu pretended not to hear the empress dowager's words, looked at Yuan Ce and continued:

"Let's go after the New Year."

"Thank you, Father."

Yuan Ce kowtowed again and then returned to his seat.

After this interruption, the atmosphere changed slightly, but Emperor Xuanwu continued what he had not finished saying before.

"I have already found out that Yan Mingjue is the child I left among the people."

"The royal bloodline cannot be left outside."

"From today on, Yan Mingjue is given the name Yuan Jue, the courtesy name Jinxing, and is granted the title of Prince Ning."

He paused and continued:

"His first wife, Yan Su, was granted the title of Princess Consort and entered the Imperial Jade Butterfly Clan."

"His two sons were given the names Yuan Nianyan and Yuan Siyan. The eldest son was made the Prince of Ning, and the second son was made the Prince of a County."

Although the court officials were well prepared, they were still shocked by this series of words.

They had known for a long time that the emperor would definitely recognize this son.

However, he was directly conferred the title of Prince, and his wife was directly conferred the title of Princess. Their two children were one Prince and one Duke.

What an honor this is!

Those who had broken off their friendship with Yan Ming were naturally happy for him, while the others were extremely upset.

Yuan Xu's face looked very ugly. He was the eldest brother, but he had not even been conferred the title of prince. Why should a bastard be given the title?

Even Yuanrui, who usually did not show his joy, had no smile on his face.

Father, this is really too much!

We all come from humble backgrounds, so why?

Before, his father had conferred the title of prince upon the fourth son, and he had accepted it.

The queen came from a famous family, the fourth son was a legitimate son, and his leg was lame, so his father wanted compensation.

But, on what basis did Yan Mingjue decide that?

A child born by a shameless woman is still being so favored.

The Empress Dowager's face looked unhappy. Emperor Xuanwu had told her about recognizing Yan Mingjue, and she knew about it, but she didn't know that Emperor Xuanwu actually gave him such an honor.

She now knew what Emperor Xuanwu was planning. Judging from the situation, he might want to give him the throne in the future.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother could no longer hold back and said:

"Emperor, I don't agree."

"Whether Yan Mingjue is of royal bloodline remains to be verified."

"That woman has been married before. Who knows if she has had affairs with other men?"

The empress dowager was completely disloyal and did not give Emperor Xuanwu any face at all, and even tore off the only fig leaf.

No one expected something like this to happen.

The huge banquet hall was extremely quiet.

Many people were secretly looking at Yan Mingjue.

Yan Mingjue acted as if nothing had happened, and not only him, but Su Qingwan was the same.

However, Su Qingwan was furious in her heart. If Yan Mingjue hadn't been patting her hands the whole time, she really didn't know what she would have done.

She really had had enough.

If he had a choice, Yan Ming would never want to be the son of Emperor Xuanwu.

Listening to Su Qingwan's increasingly rapid breathing, Yan Mingjue said softly:

"fine."

He had heard far more nasty things before.

However, most of the people who said those things are already dead.

Those who are not dead will not be able to jump around for much longer.

Now, he has to add one more person to his little notebook.

Yan Mingjue glanced at the Queen Mother, his eyes full of murderous intent.
