Several of the Princes also thought of this and grunted a few times and looked a little sarcastic.
"The son is kind and generous, he loves the people. He has won my heart!" As expected, Emperor Jianing smiled broadly and the stern look between his eyebrows was swept away as he looked at the Ministers of Rites.
"Gong ai qing, what ranking do you think would be best for the Anle Village Lord, who has travelled thousands of miles to be there?.
For the first time in the courtroom of Dajing, a mere position in the Eastern Palace was discussed. The old Ministers of Rites, Gong Jizhe, who was named, hurriedly stepped forward and said in a respectful voice.
"Your Majesty, I think the position of a ru ren is sufficient." ( ru ren- is a title given to the mother or wife of a seventh-rank official, also used as a title of respect for women in the Ming and Qing dynasties.)
Although Ren Anle has recruited 30,000 sailors, she was after all a bandits leader and was to marry the crown prince, the future emperor and in her position, even if she was a ru ren that was an exaggeration. If not for the fact that the emperor was in a good mood, Gong Jizhe would not have opened his mouth, and as it turned out, some officials who were concerned about the status of their families were already frowning and ready to give advice.
"Your Majesty..." the long- neglected deputy general Zhao heard that something was wrong and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to report it, so he stepped forward to stop the officer's words. The emperor was suddenly frightened by him and said unhappily.
"what is the matter, Zhao Qing?"
"Your Majesty, that Ren Anle said in her surrender letter that the position she was seeking..." Deputy General Zhao looked at the handsome prince who was looking at him with raised eyebrows, and replied stiffly,
"Is the position of taizi fei." ( taizi fei - is the title given to the crown prince spouse, both the wife of the crown prince and also known as the crown Prince's consort and the consort of the Eastern Palace.)
Silence, total silence... A silence that was too loud to breathe.
The entire Chong'an Hall was miraculously silent because of the words 'crown prince consort ', even the officials who had always been fond of arguing over the rules of propriety has kept their mouths shut, with some trepidation under their eyes.
Ridiculous, ridiculous, simple... ridiculous. The officials thought for half a second, but did not know what other words they could use to describe the bold female bandit of Anle Village.
The Prince is the crown prince of the country, and she is asking for the position of crown Princess. Does she want to be the mother of the Great Jing Dynasty? There are countless noble daughters from noble families and lords and marquises in the imperial capital of Great Jing, but none of them have the audacity to enter the Eastern Palace and ask for the crown Prince's consortship!
The Prince took a step back and lowered his eyes, his face light and breezy but there was a faint fluctuation under his eyes.
It is interesting that the Lord of Anle Zhai dared to put forward this condition.
Sure enough, Emperor Jianing on the throne also withdrew his voice and his expression darkened.
"What a good one, Ren Anle. What does she regard for my Great Jing Dynasty as...."
"Your Majesty, Ren Anle has said if Your Majesty does not want to grant the crown prince the position of concubine, she may not enter the Eastern Palace, but would only like your Majesty to prepare a military position for her in the army, so that she can use her military achievements.... in exchange for the chance to enter the Eastern Palace in the future."
