The Blessed

Chapter 487



The first day the legendary Crown Princess Sheng arrived at the mansion, he had killed twenty or thirty people, and then sent those women offered to His Highness Sheng were all sent to those big families with a nearly raffish way, which had already spread through in and out of the whole court. Since ancient times, there were so many examples that the emperor rewarded those meritorious officials beauties. No one had ever heard that some crown princess sent the officials beauties, and almost all those big families included. Those first wives of those big families all cursed Su Bei in the heart. And those civil officials drafted the memorials meaning to accuse of him before the court. Compared with them, those military officials under Duke Zeng and Yan Shengrui were a lot quieter.

"Long live Your Majesty!”

On the court, all civil and military officials were greeting to His Majesty, while His Majesty and the empress were sitting in their dragon and phoenix chair separately.

“Save it!”

"Thank you Your Majesty!”

With a wave of His Majesty’s hand, those officials got up and stood on both sides. Except the few grownup princes in the headmost, all civil officials were under the lead of the left prime minister and right prime minister, who were Xiao Heshan from Xiao family and Sun Liang who came from a humble family. Needless to say, of course the military officials were under the lead of the general Duke Zeng and Yan Shengrui. And after them, it was Duke Yuan’s son who hadn’t attended the morning court meeting for long and General Ye and others. So, one could say the ones with the noblest identities were all here.

"Zhang Dezi!”

Looking around at those officials below, His Majesty’s eyes flickered when his eyes fell on Yan Shengrui. After a while, he beckoned Eunuch Zhang over.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Leading two eunuchs, Eunuch Zhang came forward and took out the imperial decree from a tray held by one of them. The court officials all bowed their heads and bowed respectfully to listen.

"His Majesty Yan, by the grace of heaven, Ling Jingxuan is meritorious for giving birth to sons for Highness Sheng, here, he’d specially be conferred as the first wife, Crown Princess of Highness Sheng, first-class official, a thousand quality land, and gold and jewelries. Big son Yan Xiaowen as successor of Highness Sheng, who will inherit Highness Sheng’s title, second son Yan Xiaowu as Duke Wu, and the youngest son Yan Xiaoling Duke Ling, adoptive son Zhao Tieshang Knight Xiaoyao! Since Knight Xiaoyao is still young, no personal mansion for now. And boxes of silks and brocades, and a thousand tael of gold. Over!”

This reward was undoubtedly amazing. Forget about their big son as the successor of Yan Shengrui, even their second son, youngest son and adoptive son had a title! Others all got dumbfounded there, highly doubting if they heard it wrong, or Eunuch Zhang read it wrong?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of my wife and sons."

Yan Shengrui looked very majestic in hose court costumes, and his good features were with sacred dignity, those tiger eyes were beaming, knife-shaped eyebrows linked with his temples, the whole person showed that kind of nobility and pride. And the dark red court costumes added to his aura. As son of the imperial family, holding two thirds of the military forces in his hands, Yan Shengrui gave one the feeling that his pride was born with him, not something others could imitate.

Even the superior Yan Shengzhi had to admit that Yan Shengrui was more outstanding than him, and only because it, he had to guard against him all the time.

"Your Majesty has an order. If you have any memorials to report, do it. If not, you are dismissed."

Yan Shengzhi even didn’t want to talk to him. He only waved his hand as a response. Seeing that, Eunuch Zhang said so loudly. As for the imperial decree, the one he held was a copy. As for the real one, Yan Shengrui had already taken it home yesterday. Today was only a symbolic notification.

"I have something to report!"

Finally accepting the fact that the honorable Highness Sheng got more honorable, those officials  all gritted their teeth madly. As Eunuch Zhang’s words fell, someone wearing class-five court costumes stood out holding his memorials. He was the censor, though title not so high, he had the right to report anyone, like the procurator in modern times.

So the first one is Censor Zhu?

Standing in the headmost of those military officials, Yan Shengrui stared straight at him, lips curved. Sitting in his phoenix chair, the empress Chu Yunhan wearing bright red robes still maintained his posture there, it was just that a trace of sarcasm flashed across that pair of cold eyes. Thinking with the butt, he knew it should be about the newly inaugurated Crown Princess Sheng Ling Jingxuan.

Eunuch Zhang went down to take over his memorials. As Yan Shengzhi unfolded it, Censor Zhu said righteously, "Your Majesty, when Crown Princess Sheng arrived yesterday, he nearly asked people to tear the mansion down. And then, he killed a lot of people in the mansion using the extremely cruel means, and finally, ignoring the dignity and image as the hostess of the mansion, he threw those beauties in the mansion out. Besides, he sent all those beauties to those big families in the capital under the name of big rewards. He is a total demon who is not qualified to be the crown princess! Please hold the justice, Your Majesty!”

Right after His Majesty issued the imperial decree conferring Ling Jingxuan as the Crown Princess Sheng, someone immediately jumped out to accuse of him. It not only was like slapping His Majesty in the face, but also directly offended Highness Sheng. A lot of people held the wait-and-see attitude. And His Majesty also didn’t reply immediately, but looked like he was focusing on his memorials there. Yan Shengrui cast a faint glance at Censor Zhu, while the latter got so frightened and he nearly couldn’t hold it there.
