After Qin Tai fei’s body was buried in the imperial tomb, the personal eunuch of the Emperor, Lu Gong, walked up to Chu Li’s group.


After approaching, he bowed toward Chu Li and the others, “The Emperor would you all to go to Jingming Hall.”


After that, Lu Gong walked away.


Yunjin stood to one side, bit her lip, looked at Chu Li, and narrowed her eyes again.


Jingming Hall, that was the place of the earlier dynasties.


…


…


After returning to the palace, Yunjin stood under the steps outside Jingming Hall, and found that there were many ministers in official uniforms walking towards the hall.


“Chu Li, you go ahead first.” Yunjin said to Chu Li next to her.


Chu Li glanced at her, and saw her look like a G.o.ddess. His lips smiled gracefully, “Wait for this prince here.”


“Um.” Yunjin nodded heavily, stretched out Chu Li’s sleeves, and spoke comfortably. “It’ll be okay.”


When Chu Li heard this solemn tone, he laughed a little, his smile deepened, cuffed her chin, and turned towards Jingming Hall.


Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li’s back, holding her hands together. She leaned on the stone pillar to one side, pursed her lips, trying to calm herself down, hoping to hear something from inside while she waited.


Mu Xiang had changed into his official uniform after the funeral. At this time, he came hurriedly, glanced at Yunjin in the corner near the steps, and walked over, “Yunjin, why are you here?”


“I’m waiting for Chu Li.” she answered naturally.


Mu Xiang’s face was a little dull, and he didn’t say much. “Then you pay attention here.”


After that, he entered the Jingming Hall.


…


…


At this time, Jingming Hall was filled with a sense of antic.i.p.ation.


Emperor Ximing, who had put on his dragon robe, entered the hall, sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, and frowned, looking at the people below.


“Long live the emperor.” Everyone bowed down.


“The court officials are excused.” Emperor Ximing said.


Everyone got up.


Emperor Ximing put his hands on the chair, his eyes fell on the princes standing to one side, and he coughed softly. “In the past few days, my mother died of illness. I have been thinking over a lot of things in my grief.”


“The world is impermanent, and I don’t know if I will leave suddenly someday. After thinking about it, I convened all the princes and ministers today to announce something.”


Everyone was silent and their eyes zoned in on the Emperor Ximing. Most of them could guess what he would say next.


“Time flies, and I have only recently discovered that my sons have grown up …”


The Emperor Ximing didn’t continue to talk anymore. He raised his fists and looked down at Mu Xiang, who headed the right faction. “Prime Minister, read this imperial decree.”


Mu Xiang froze, slowly nodded, and came forward. The emperor who was sat above him, bent over and handed him a yellow imperial edict.


Mu Xiang took the imperial edict, but felt that it was extremely heavy. After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened it.


After glancing at the above content, his face became rigid, but he reacted quickly and began to read out the contents of the imperial edict. He was about to speak, then thought of Yunjin who was still standing outside the hall, and he could not help but increase his voice.


“As decreed by his majesty.” ”Since he came to power, he has taken the country as the most important thing and never dared to take any leisure’s. Now, he has been in charge for more than thirty-five years, and has gradually become physically exhausted. The sons standing here today are outstanding, and there are many people who have the courage and ability to take on the role of great responsibility. Therefore, after thinking about it, the fourth prince Chu Ye is a good person with good morals and thoughtfulness, and he is the best candidate to take over in the East Palace. We hope Prince Chu Ye, in the future will be blessed with a long life and not hesitate in his duties towards the country and its people.”


After Mu Xiang read this, he paused for a moment, glanced under his lashes, and while there was an uproar in the minister’s section, the princes did not show any expressions.


Outside the door, Mu Yunjin bit her lip, and listened to the contents of the decree read out by Mu Xiang. Although she had known about this, at this time when she heard the official decree, she couldn’t help but reach out to the stone pillar and punch it.


In the hall, Mu Xiang dropped his eyes, and continued to read the content of the imperial edict.


“The third prince Chu Qing, the same can be molded into a future leader, so will be given a special t.i.tle and enter morning court sessions daily."


After a pause, Mu Xiang glanced sharply, his hand holding the decree gradually began shaking, and continued reading–


“The sixth prince Chu Li, the same prince, the special t.i.tle is' Ning '. I hope he helps to jointly a.s.sist the Tianzi An Guoning 's family and Bengu Bangning in the future."


“Know this!”


“Long live the emperor!”


After reading the decree, he returned to the minister’s column, Chu Ye stepped out from one side, bent and knelt down on the ground, and struck his head three times heavily.


“Good.” Emperor Ximing nodded with satisfaction and looked at Zhuang Taifu on the side. “Zhuang Taifu, starting tomorrow, you will enter the East Palace and begin to a.s.sist my son in governing the country.”


“Chen is obeying.” Zhuang Taifu bent and nodded.


After a pause, Emperor Ximing glanced at Chu Qing and Chu Li on the side, and said nothing, then looked at the ministers, “I have been busy with my mothers arrangements these days, I wonder if you have something to say?”


A minister stepped out of the column and said respectfully. “Emperor Ximing, a letter from Yang Wanshan, the prefectural government of Qingzhou, said that Qingzhou is a dangerous place with mountains and rivers. However, recent heavy rains have continued. For a long time, it has caused a huge flood in the local area. Today, more than half of the people in Qingzhou have lost their lives. Also in Qingzhou, the supply of food and water has been cut off.


“What happened? After two months of heavy rain, why is it only reported now?” Emperor Ximing was furious.


The minister was frightened, and bowed his head. “The letter was written a month and a half ago. Qingzhou is a long way from the imperial city and suffered floods. I am afraid that this letter was sent and encountered many problems along the way.”


After hearing that, Emperor Ximing’s face eased a bit, and he said, “Although Qingzhou is remote, it is also a place of the people. The flood must be resolved.”


After that, Emperor Ximing turned his attention to Chu Li, who had been silent, and laughed, “Li’er, now that you have been granted a special position, I will leave it to you to settle the people’s heart.”


Everyone was stunned again, all a little surprised.


The terrain of Qingzhou is close to the border, and it is a very poor and cold place. Now in this flood, just send a Junior Minister to go. The emperor actually wants Chu Li, a prince, to go personally. This is really overkill.


But after a change of thought, the emperor blocked Chu Li becoming the Crown Prince this time, and sealed Chu Li, who had always been indifferent and cold, as King Ning.


This Ning word may have other meanings …


” This son obeys the order.” Chu Li didn’t say much else, and answered the words of Emperor Ximing.


Emperor Ximing nodded with satisfaction and his gaze fell on Chu Li with a profound meaning. “Because of this, the floods cannot be delayed, and you will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow.”


Chu Li nodded.


…


…


Mu Yunjin stood outside the hall, and only heard the imperial edicts that Mu Xiang had just read, but did not hear about the Qingzhou flood. At this moment, she crossed her arms and saw the ministers stepping out one by one, stretching her neck to look for Chu Li’s solemn figure.


After a moment, Chu Li stepped out of the hall slowly, his eyes were slightly lowered, and from time to time, a minister would approach to talk to him, but he ignored them all.


“Chu Li …” Mu Yunjin saw Chu Li and shouted.


When Chu Li heard this voice, he raised his eyes and saw a smile not far away, and the woman beckoning him struck a trace of throbbing in his heart.


Chu Li approached Mu Yunjin, and stretched out his hand to embrace her, “You have been here for a long time, are you tired?”


Yunjin shook her head, her lips curled up, and overflowed with a smile. She bowed her body toward Chu Li, “Greetings to His Royal Highness Ning.”


“Stupid.” Chu Li uttered one word, taking her in the direction of the palace gate.


To this stupid word, Yunjin did not react much today, walking on the road instead, and from time to time, looked up and observed Chu Li’s expression.


Chu Li naturally knew Yunjin had been peeking at him, and lowered his eyes slightly, “What are you looking at?”


Mu Yunjin stood still, looked around, and saw no one, so she reached out and held Chu Li’s hand. “In fact, your new position is also good, at least there are not so many trivial matters. The prince must learn to govern the country … and take care of the people…. “


After that, Yunjin was knocked on the head by Chu Li, and then a low laugh sounded above her head. “Which eye do you see this Prince as a Crown Prince?”


Mu Yunjin was dazzled by this sudden smile. At this time, you can see the smile on Chu Li’s face. She looked upon it like you would a treasure, and her heart soared for half a minute.


“You don’t care about the position of the crown prince?” Mu Yunjin couldn’t believe it, and asked again.


“Yes.” Chu Li nodded, pulling her to continue to the gate of the palace, his eyes gazed ahead, and he heard a snort from beside him, his lips kept smiling.


…


…


After returning home, as soon as he arrived at the door, someone from the palace already stepped forward to replace the plaque at the entrance of the Prince’s Mansion.


Many people pa.s.sing by halfway stopped and looked at the plaque of the Sixth Prince’s Mansion, which was replaced by King Ning’s Mansion.


After entering the house, a group of men greeted him and bowed down to Chu Li and Mu Yunjin.


Yunjin frowned and waved at these people, motioning them to go away.


She still had to figure out his mood, what sort of chaos were these people looking to bring?


When she reached Liquan court, Mu Yunjin was about to return to her room. She was stopped by Chu Li, who turned her around, and looked at Mu Yunjin. “This prince is going to go far away, and will not come back for a while.”


Mu Yunjing heard the words, and immediately ran to Chu Li, frowning at him, “Do you not mean to take me?”


Chu Li nodded, “This prince has to go to Qingzhou to solve the flood, where the terrain and environment are difficult, so I will not take you. You stay in the house and look after this prince’s affairs.”


She was silent…… the flood?


This emperor already blocked him from the Crown Prince position. Why did Chu Li have to get involved with any flood?


After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin gasped and said, “No, I’m going too!”


“No,” Chu Li refused, his lips clenched. “You stay in the house until this prince returns.”


With an unquestionable tone, Yunjin saw Chu Li’s eyebrows darken, his tone was indifferent and cold, and he knew that he was on the edge of anger.


So she pursed her lips and snorted coldly, “If you don’t want me then alright. Burdens are meant to be shared, and I’m not stupid!”
