She was not nervous
She was not excited.
She was not flustered.
She was so calm that it was as if this had never happened.
She was not in a hurry.
Even Qin Jiao was a little anxious.
Qin Jiao kept pacing back and forth in front of Chen Qianxue. It was enough to see how anxious she was. As she paced back and forth, she said resentfully, “It’s already come to this, how can you still be so calm and collected?”
“You have to know that if you can really sit in that position, then there’s a high possibility that you’ll obtain something unprecedented! Damn it! This matter clearly has nothing to do with me, so why am I more anxious than you?”
Seeing her like this, Chen Qianxue laughed and shook her head. She replied, “Anxiety and nervousness are of no use. Showing these two emotions will only reduce your points in front of Father.”
“If you take some things too seriously, what if this thing doesn’t belong to you? At that time, won’t your state of mind collapse?”
“I’m very open-minded. I won’t let go of things that already belong to me. Things that don’t belong to me, I won’t be too persistent.”
Qin Jiao still did not quite understand. She muttered in puzzlement, “Why are you more indifferent to the secular world than those old bald donkeys in the temple who chant scriptures?”
She thought about it and realized that she could not do it at all. She had the same mentality as Chen Qianxue.
Perhaps this was related to personality.
Things like personality could not be changed so easily over time.
Especially if Qin Jiao did not deliberately change it, it was even less likely that it would change too much.
This caused her to be unable to understand Chen Qianxue’s calmness.
“Aren’t you afraid that when the time comes, a guy will appear to compete with you?” Qin jiao frowned and reminded, “Don’t forget that those guys still have some prejudice against us because we are women. It sounds unfair, but that’s the truth.”
“Maybe your father will ignore you because of your gender and directly arrange another prince to inherit the throne.”
“What will we do then? Isn’t our previous efforts in vain?”
“Could it be…” Qin Jiao touched her chin. “Do we have to kill another Crown Prince of Great Wei so that no one else dares to covet that seat, and then you can sit on the Crown Prince’s throne?”
Chen Qianxue rolled her eyes. “Your words make me sound like a killer. Can you kill all the princes and their descendants?”
“Just… wait.”
“…”
A few more days passed.
Today was a special day for the entire Great Wei Dynasty.
That’s because the dynasty was going to choose a new Crown Prince!
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was extremely lively. Almost everyone had arrived early.
In the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
All the civil and military officials were standing in their respective positions. Other than these officials, there were also many princes and princesses present.
Chen Qianxue was no exception.
She clearly felt that there were many gazes, either generous or sneakily sizing her up.
This was because in the entire Imperial Court and on this day, she could be considered the most special one.
She received a lot of attention.
Not long after.
When Chen Fengyin finally appeared and sat on the Dragon Throne, a eunuch shouted loudly, “Rise to the throne!”
Everyone’s faces turned serious as they bowed to Chen Fengyin and shouted, “Your Majesty!”.
Chen Fengyin pressed his hands, indicating that there was no need for such complicated formalities. His gaze swept across everyone.
There were at least a thousand people standing in the Imperial Court. Especially among his sons and daughters, his gaze stayed the longest.
After that, under everyone’s gaze, Chen Fengyin said calmly, “Ever since the expedition against the ancient demon, the dynasty has not recovered half of its vitality. In order not to waste resources and manpower, today’s selection of the new Crown Prince will be done in a simple manner. There is no need to prepare complicated etiquette.”
“My dear ministers, do you have any objections?”
The ministers below quietly looked at each other.
Some of the ministers who were in charge of the etiquette had conflicted expressions on their faces. They looked as if they had something to say and did not know if they should say it.
It was very obvious that Chen Fengyin’s actions were not in accordance with the etiquette of the royal family.
However, in the current situation, if he opened his mouth to refute the Emperor’s words, would he be forced to resign?
“Minister Li, if you have anything to say in your heart, feel free to speak freely.”
Just as this minister was in a dilemma, Chen Fengyin’s voice sounded again.
It scared him so much that his entire body trembled. He hurriedly shook his head, “Your Majesty, this humble subject has nothing to say.”
Chen Fengyin nodded.
Then, he looked at the other ministers, he said, “If all of you have no objections, then today, under the witness of the Heavenly Dao, under the witness of the Imperial Jade Seal of the Great Wei Dynasty, under the witness of the ancestors of the Great Wei imperial family, under the witness of all the ministers…”
“Stand –”
Although they knew that the Emperor wanted to skip cumbersome etiquette.
However, no one had expected the ceremony to be so crude and simple.
His Majesty was going to announce who the new Crown Prince was with just a few short sentences?
This, this, this…
