Chapter 430: Crown Prince

Yan Li looked at it for a moment and felt that there was no need to talk to her.

What else can be said to a woman who has lost her magic and has no use value?

Yan Li turned around and left the prison.

In the heavily guarded sky jail, prisoners wear heavy shackles on their hands and feet. The cell door is made of solid black iron. On the way out of the sky jail, there are dangerous traps hidden everywhere. Even the most ordinary jailers are carefully selected. Young and strong soldiers.

There are heavy defenses outside the prison. Once inside, unless there is a real grievance and the person can be rehabilitated in the end, most of them will be waiting for death.

After leaving the prison, the torches erected by the officers and soldiers were so bright that they were dazzling.

Yan Li subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes. When her eyes touched the man waiting outside the prison, her steps paused slightly.

The splendid mysterious clothes shone in the light of the fire, with a majestic body and a cold demeanor. The firelight made this nobility and coldness particularly strong, as if there was a sense of incompatibility.

Yan Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said slowly: "Mu Cang."

Mu Cang looked towards her with a calm expression, but his eyes were so gentle that it made people indulge: "Are you done talking?"

"Yes." Yan Li stepped forward and naturally took his hand, "Let's go back to the princess mansion."

The soldiers bowed and sent the eldest princess and her consort off respectfully.

…

It was a thrilling day.

Returning to the eldest princess's mansion, the housekeeper handed over a stack of messages: "These are the invitations and greetings sent by various families when the eldest princess entered the palace just now."

Yan Li flipped through it casually: "I have been very busy recently. There are too many things to deal with in the palace. I have no time to see guests or to have guests."

"Yes." The butler responded respectfully, "I will go back to them now."

Yan Li hummed and walked directly to Guihuang Courtyard.

The smell of the prison was not good, so when I got back to the house, I naturally had to shower and change clothes again.

After everything was done, Yan Li finally relaxed her body and leaned lazily on the brocade couch.

"Tired?"

Yan Li took a sip of tea and slowly shook his head: "I'm not tired, but too many things have happened recently, and I always feel like I'm going non-stop."

In fact, she has never had a real rest since she set foot on Jin territory last year.

There are always people and things going on in the court, either conspiracies or scheming, and there is no end to it.

"I won't be so busy anymore." Mu Cang stood in front of the window with his hands folded. "After everything has settled, from now on, I will be a prince with peace of mind, build a good relationship with the ministers in the court, cultivate my own young forces, and promote loyal and capable people." Sir, let the Jin Dynasty develop slowly in the direction you want - this process should take three to five years."

As the emperors of past dynasties said, it is easier to conquer a country than to control it.

Conquering a country relies mostly on force, but governing a country requires both civil and military skills and careful planning.

All reform plans need to trickle in little by little, relying on time rather than force.

Yan Li closed her eyes and said in a lazy voice, "I want to have a good rest for a few days."

Mu Cang glanced sideways, his gaze falling on her face: "Do you want to go to Northern Xinjiang?"

"I don't want to go at the moment." Yan Li sighed, "From the Kingdom of Mu to the Kingdom of Jin, and from the Kingdom of Jin to the Kingdom of Nan... The fatigue of traveling and traveling is more difficult than fighting. I waste a month on the road back and forth, so let's let it go Let me rest for a while." Tianlai Novel Network.

Mu Cang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and couldn't help but rub her head: "Okay."

"Having said that, even if I want to stop, I may not be able to do so." Yan Li pondered a little, "Jiahe intends to meet the Prince of Zhao. If there is a fate between them and the two countries reconcile, I still have to go there in person."

Mu Cang said, "Would you like me to send someone to check on this Prince Zhao?"

"What are you checking him for?"

"There is no harm in knowing more about his situation, abilities, temperament and preferences." Mu Cang frowned slightly, "Marriage is a major event in life after all. If you make a wrong step, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Yan Li was silent for a moment, thinking of Jiahe who was far away in the south, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart: "In the past, Jiahe relied on me, the imperial sister, the most. If it hadn't been for an accident, she would have been under my protection throughout her life."

However, life is unpredictable. In the next few decades, how many opportunities will they have to meet?

"I will still be under your protection from now on." Mu Cang said warmly, "The Southern Kingdom has your eldest brother, and the Jin Kingdom has you. No matter whether she gets married in the future or recruits a consort in the Southern Kingdom, her life will be rich and worry-free. She doesn't have to worry too much." Too concerned."

Yan Li nodded slightly: "Yes."

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

…

The second day of February is auspicious.

The imperial chief steward read out the imperial edict in the Chaoshang Palace, appointing the regent princess Yan Li as the crown princess.

Starting from today, he will have full power to supervise the country and regent.

After several days of uneasiness on the verge of a palace coup, and yesterday’s “bloody raids” by the Royal Guards, the frightened ministers in the palace were not dissatisfied with this decision. They all knelt down and shouted: “Long live my emperor! Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Your Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, is a thousand years old!"

The voices of civil and military officials throughout the court were so loud that they almost resounded through the sky.

The matter of the crown prince was settled.

Not only was there no objection from the civil and military officials of the court, but even the person who was appointed the crown prince himself did not seem to be excited at all.

Yan Li was very calm.

Emperor Wen was very satisfied.

"It seems that Li'er is the popular choice for the crown prince, which makes me feel very relieved." Emperor Wen sat on the dragon throne and looked around at the civil and military officials in the court. "Then let the Imperial Astronomical Observatory choose an auspicious day to hold the crown prince ceremony."

"Long live the emperor!"

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Li'er is very determined and is a natural emperor."

Yan Li raised her eyes and glanced at him, agreeing deeply.

He is worthy of being the king of a country and has vision.

"Dismiss the court." Emperor Wen stood up. "Li'er, follow me and the queen to Fengyi Palace. We will talk to you."

The ministers sent the emperor and the queen off respectfully.

After the court was dismissed, Prime Minister Ji stood up and looked at Yan Li: "Congratulations, Princess."

Yan Li smiled slightly: "I will still rely on the Prime Minister's assistance in the future."

"I dare not." Prime Minister Ji saluted humbly.

The king and his ministers had a harmonious attitude and a tacit understanding. They knew that in the next ten years, the Ji family would still be the backbone of the court and the senior officials who were second to none.

As for ten years later, I wonder if the Ji family can still maintain their loyalty as before.
