Chapter 23 Long-cherished wish

Ying Dongjun had a meal with the portrait seriously, and laughter kept coming during the meal, of course it was all the laughter of Ying Dongjun alone.

After dinner, Ying Dongjun carefully put the portrait away and put it back into the study. He asked the servants outside to come in and pack up the flower hall, and sent them all out.

The night is as cool as water, and the crescent moon hangs high.

When Xiao Jixiang brought tea to feed Ying Dongjun medicine, Ying Dongjun wore a red dress and sat on the railing of the pond with his back to him. The night wind blew up her hair and dress, and there was an indescribable loneliness on her back.

Xiao Jixiang quickly walked to Ying Dongjun, gently put down the tea tray, took out his cloth tiger, and clenched it at her back. This time the cloth tiger screamed a little special, and it sounded like he was shouting "Dongjun."

Ying Dongjun turned around. The joy and pleasure that had been at the dining table had disappeared on her face completely. Her cold eyes were as if they were a sharp thorn, piercing all the disguise and illusions on her face.

Xiao Jixiang's face changed slightly. He did not care about the princess's coldness and perversion at this moment, but found that the princess' forehead was covered with fine sweat beads, and her originally bright red lips were cold white.

Xiao Jixiang hurriedly stepped forward and held Ying Dongjun's arm, anxiously asking something. He even forgot to use sign language, but opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make any sound.

Ying Dongjun calmly patted his hand.

"It's nothing. Maybe it was because I drank a few more glasses of wine, which caused the toxicity in my body. After taking the medicine, I endured it and it passed quickly."

But Xiao Jixiang would rather the princess complain like she is as coquettish as she usually does, rather than silently endure severe pain that ordinary people can't imagine.

Xiao Jixiang took out the purse he was carrying with him, fed the medicine to Ying Dongjun, and gave her another glass of water, watching her drink it slowly.

Ying Dongjun slowly waited for the arrival of the medicine.

But today the effect of this medicine is more slowly. Ying Dongjun's consciousness is blurred in pain. She leaned against Xiao Jixiang and closed her eyes and said softly: "My mother hopes that I will live my life in a simple and happy way. Even if I can't be anything, it doesn't matter if I am a domineering princess that everyone dislikes. Do you think she will feel disappointed when she sees the real me in the future? I have not looked like she expected."

Xiao Jixiang shook her head: No matter what the princess looks like, the queen will like the princess the most, and she is never disappointed with the princess.

Ying Dongjun did not see Xiao Jixiang's comfort. She said to herself: "The world is peaceful? Peace and health? Happy forever? Haha, my Ying Dongjun's long-cherished wish is..."

Ying Dongjun said the last few words very lightly, but Xiao Jixiang didn't hear them clearly, but he could feel the princess's stubborn and gloomy ruthlessness.

Xiao Jixiang saw that the princess did not sweat coldly after the effect of the medicine, but was still drowsy. She realized that the princess might not only have the remnant attack, but she should be drunk.

Xiao Jixiang simply helped the princess up and sent her back to the room.

On the second day, Ying Dongjun became dizzy and completely forgot about what happened last night. He also complained to Xiao Jixiang angrily, "My head hurts so much! You fool slave, have you fed me the wrong medicine? Or I'll knock me off while I'm drunk!"

Xiao Jixiang just smiled. He treated the princess gently, served her to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and combed her hair and change her clothes.

***

On this day, the Empress Dowager, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly issued an imperial edict to the young emperor. The Empress Dowager reminded the young emperor in gentle words, not to forget to issue the imperial edict according to the convention and conferred the eldest sister Princess Chengping as the eldest princess.

The Empress Dowager's imperial edict was not criticized. According to the convention of the Great Sage, the emperor's eldest sister would be named the eldest princess after the emperor ascended the throne. The eldest princess's ceremonial uniform was one section higher than that of the same vassal kings and the status was one section higher than that of ordinary princes.

Before the little emperor came to power, the imperial edict sent to the little emperor was actually sent to the empress dowager and several regent ministers. This matter was originally smooth because there were precedents to find. As long as a symbolic sentence was mentioned in the morning court, the Secretariat could draft the edict. But no one expected that something went wrong with this matter when it was in the motions.

During the morning court, some ministers proposed the enthronement of the eldest princess, but the queen mother did not object at the first time, and several regents did not raise objections on the spot. However, they did not expect that on weekdays, they just sat on the throne and looked left and right, and occasionally dozed off and suddenly spoke out.

"I don't know!"

The little emperor was not loud and he never spoke much in the morning court on weekdays, so the ministers did not react at the beginning.

At this time, the little emperor suddenly stood up and increased the volume with a serious look on his face.

"I said, I don't agree with the enthronement of the eldest princess."

This time, the voice of the little emperor spread throughout the hall, and everyone calmed down at that moment, looking stunned.

Some people went to see the empress dowager sitting behind the pearl curtain, and some people went to see several auxiliary ministers.
