After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Chu Qinghuang looked indifferent, not caring about the people's words as if they were besieging him, his eyes only fell on the emperor behind the case - it didn't matter what others said, the decision rested with the emperor, and Chu Qinghuang had a way to make the emperor believe it she.

Historically, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and even the queen mother had no right to dictate state affairs. But today, because of Feng Jin's incident, the harem queen, concubines, princes, and former ministers all gathered here. It was a rare and grand scene.

"Xiao Qi, what can you do?" The emperor looked at her, probably with a glimmer of hope, "Tell me about it."

Chu Qinghuang said: "I only tell my father."

Concubine Feng gave a stiff smile: "Xiao Qi——"

"Let's all go back." The emperor frowned. The crowd made him upset. "The queen and the noble concubine will send my mother back for me. Concubine Duan should go back and rest early. Everyone else should also kneel down."

There was silence in the hall.

Everyone had different expressions, and they kept scolding Chu Qinghuang for his stupidity in their hearts. Their voices were jumbled, and Chu Qinghuang was too lazy to waste energy to listen.

Although she still doesn't know whether this mind-reading skill belongs to the original owner or is caused by other reasons, excessive consumption of any power will damage the body. Listening when necessary can help distinguish between friend and foe, but she is too lazy when not necessary. Make trouble for yourself.

The ministers resigned and left dissatisfied.

The Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine wanted to say something else, especially about Feng Jin, but seeing Chu Qinghuang's indifferent attitude like an iceberg, the Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but darken, and she couldn't bring herself to talk to her. After speaking, he left surrounded by the queen and concubines.

"Xiao Qi." Concubine Duan walked up to Chu Qinghuang and smiled softly, "Talk to your father."

Chu Qinghuang was silent.

"Let's find a chance to apologize to the Queen Mother later." Concubine Duan frowned, "The Queen Mother is your grandmother after all, how can you be so disrespectful?"

Chu Qinghuang looked indifferent and still didn't say a word.

The original owner was such a person. She ignored everyone and couldn't put anyone down in her eyes. Whether it was the Queen Mother or the Emperor, she would give her some face most of the time by giving her good words and good words, but if she tried to force herself on her , then in one sentence, she is a master who is not afraid of death——

This was known to everyone as early as when I was learning martial arts.

She has shown a violent and unruly temper since she was a child, and everyone has become accustomed to it. The emperor did not kill her a few years ago, which proved that he can tolerate her temperament. Especially now that she has hope to reverse the situation in Xiqi, the emperor is even less interested. It would be easy to kill her.

Concubine Duan said a few words in a soft voice and quickly turned and left. It seemed that she was not angry at Qinghuang's indifference.

After everyone left, the emperor finally spoke: "Xiao Qi, Xi Qi pays tribute to Dongling every year. This is not out of my original intention, but forced by the situation. Not only Xiqi, but also Zhou and Shu also pay tribute year after year. Northern Xinjiang is far away from Dongling, and every autumn or His Majesty the Emperor's birthday, people will be sent to send some gifts. For the time being, no country has the confidence to compete with Dongling. "

Chu Qinghuang said: "I didn't say I wanted to compete with Dongling."

The emperor frowned and said: "Then what do you mean..."

"I have a way to save Dongling from having to pay tribute to Xiqi." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "And Dongling took the initiative."

The emperor was shocked and then shook his head: "This is simply impossible."

"Nothing is impossible." Chu Qinghuang said indifferently, "I said if there is a way, there will be a way. As long as you agree to my conditions, within three months I will definitely ask the Dongling envoy to come to Xiqi in person. The emperor will know whether what I say is reliable."

Within three months?

The emperor pondered, Xiqi has been paying tribute in the autumn in the past few years, and now it is March. No matter whether the three-month deadline mentioned by Chu Qinghuang can be met, there will be no worse results. Even if it cannot be done, , it will not be too late to think of a solution by then.

But what if she could really do it.

Xiqi could then take a breath.

The emperor thought like this and suddenly frowned: "Did you just say the conditions?"

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "Yes."

With this tone, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the princess negotiating with the emperor. It didn't sound like she was facing her father at all, but more like a business negotiation - even though this man was not her father in the first place.

Calling him "Father" was based on the identity of the original owner, which gave him great face.

The emperor was silent for a moment: "What conditions?"

"First, father, give me the secret pavilion, and within a month I will solve the problem of the empty treasury for you." Chu Qinghuang said, "Second, make me the eldest princess, and I guarantee that Dongling and Xiqi will be well together in the future. If the water does not invade the river, there is no need to pay tribute. Dongling will never raise troops against Xi Qi within ten years."

After a pause, "Ten years should be enough for Xiqi to recruit troops, raise horses, and expand the size of the army."

The emperor's eyes were heavy and he stared at her expressionlessly for a long time.

He found that this daughter seemed a little different from before, but there was no obvious change in her temper and temperament. She was still so arrogant and had no distinction between superiority and inferiority, so it was hard to say what was different.

Have you become much calmer and smarter than before? A little stronger in momentum?

Also, in the past, the person who liked Feng Jinzhi the most would even give some face to Feng Jinzhi's family, and would be a little scrupulous in front of the Queen Mother and Feng Guifei, but today there is no such thing.

There was a strange feeling fermenting in his heart, but the emperor couldn't think of a reason. He just said lightly: "I can agree to your conditions, but if you get the Dark Pavilion and canonize the Princess Protector, but you don't do what you want, What about the promised things?”

Chu Qinghuang did not hesitate for a moment and said calmly: "I will commit suicide to apologize."

The emperor was surprised, then smiled: "Okay, I believe you once."

Anyway, there is no loss, right?

Although usually only the emperor's legitimate daughters or sisters can be canonized as princesses, other daughters can only be called princesses according to their ranking if they have no merits, such as the eldest princess, the second princess, or the princess can be canonized as a princess after reaching adulthood, and the weight of the eldest princess is equivalent to that of a prince, one level higher than the concubines in the harem. Before the crown prince is canonized, she, the seventh princess, will even be three points more honorable than the above several legitimate royal brothers.

However, His Majesty the Emperor can make an exception for Chu Qinghuang.

The greater the grace you receive, the greater the merits you must make - this is the corresponding responsibility, or the price you need to pay.

There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world, even if she is a princess.

Glorious wealth, status and power, any request can be met, provided that you must do what you promised.

"Although it is against the rules, I can make an exception for your promise."

"Then please announce the decree immediately and announce it to the world." Qing Huang said in a faint voice, "After the imperial decree is issued, I will have a legitimate identity and greater power to raid the homes of corrupt officials."

The emperor looked at her with a complicated expression.

Raid the homes of corrupt officials? Why did she sound so relaxed and calm, as if raiding the homes was just a child's game.
