Chapter 2097

Cen Yuan held Shi Anxia's hand, and her smile never faded.

He was not a man who liked to laugh.

In fact, he is extremely distant and cold towards people.

The ministers of Liang were all very afraid of Emperor Yu.

First, the Emperor was too ruthless and stern. Second, the Emperor hardly needed advice from his close ministers. He was arbitrary and made decisions by orders without consultation.

The third point is that Emperor Yu has great control over the situation, which is simply amazing.

At the beginning, there were a few self-righteous ministers who spoke their minds frankly, citing classics and trying to make Emperor Yu change his strategy.

The Yu Emperor also listened carefully, but did not adopt his advice. However, every time the matter was completed, it proved that the Yu Emperor's decision was right and his ministers were wrong.

As time went by, the ministers gave up the idea of standing out and decided that it was always a good idea to follow Emperor Yu.

But now, their Feather Emperor was actually laughing.

Like the melting of ice and snow, the tenderness that spreads in the fine lines at the corners of the eyes makes the bright flowers on the banks of the Huaixing River pale in comparison.

The court officials finally got to see the emperor's eyes, which were always like the deep water in a cold pond. At this moment, they reflected the appearance of Shi Anxia beside him, and they were like the newborn spring water.

Especially when the emperor and empress stood hand in hand by the Huaixing River, the look they gave each other was truly a moment of deep affection.

There was an official with a sharp mind who was planning to take over the harem just now, but now he has become half discouraged.

Even if you succeed in sending your daughter to the palace, it would be useless if she doesn't win the emperor's favor and it could easily lead to trouble. Why bother?

Of course, there were also some stubborn officials among the court who simply ignored the beauty of Princess Beiyi and firmly believed that their daughters' peerless beauty would win the favor of Emperor Yu.

Hong Rui, the Minister of Works, secretly looked at the figures of the Emperor and Empress, thinking that his daughter was only 28 years old and her appearance was three times better than that of Princess Beiyi. He stroked the carefully painted "Portrait of Ladies" in his sleeve, thinking about how to find an opportunity to present it after the ceremony.

They are all men, and it is common for them to get tired of the old and fall in love with the new. Who doesn't know who? He swore to his wife that he would never betray her, but now he has married seven concubines and has not brought back a mistress.

Minister Hong felt that one day, Emperor Yu would be able to look at his own daughter the same way he looked at the empress.

By then, I would have a son or daughter, and maybe even be made the crown prince... I woke up from this beautiful dream as soon as I had it in my head.

The ceremonial officer displayed the imperial edict and recited it loudly, his voice resounding across both banks. "The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims..."

There are two main points. One is that the ceremony of enthroning the empress will be held three days later. The other is that the eldest son of the emperor, Cen Ce, will be appointed as the crown prince, which will be held on the same day as the ceremony of enthroning the empress.

With a loud bang, Minister Hong felt as if a muffled thunder exploded above his head.

He felt that he must have heard it wrong, so he nudged his colleague next to him and asked quietly, "What did the imperial edict say?"

His colleague was called Yuan Shu, who was younger and was originally just an ordinary clerk. After the Yu Emperor came to power, he was inexplicably promoted, which was equivalent to stepping from the ground to the sky.

Yuan Shu was grateful for the Emperor's kindness. He was stunned by the sight of Princess Beiyi just now. He was very excited to hear that the princess's son was to be named the crown prince. When he whispered, his voice trembled a little, "Empress! Crown Prince! The eldest son of the emperor has been named the crown prince!"

You heard it right! Minister Hong was annoyed, gritting his teeth, "He is from Beiyi! How can he be crowned the crown prince!"

Even the most obtuse person would know that Minister Hong was dissatisfied with Emperor Yu after hearing this. Yuan Shu's smiling face turned cold, and he even stepped aside, staying away from Minister Hong. "If Lord Hong is resentful, you can report it in the memorial, but don't say anything in front of me, or others will think that I am in cahoots with you!"

If you want to die, don't drag me into it!

Minister Hong was startled, his expression was quite interesting, "No, that's not what I meant."
