The Fourth Princess's Gossip System

125

The Forbidden Palace lay majestically before them. Massive gates with fine carvings and beautiful arched roofs make for a stunning sight. Neat gardens with fish ponds and gilded bridges add to the beauty of this palace. The graceful architecture of ancient China adorns every building, and the bright colors create a magical atmosphere around the palace.

In the luxurious morning meeting room, the ministers gathered in a tense atmosphere. They were curious and wondered why this morning there was such an unusual difference with the summoning of three princes at once. They spoke in a soft voice to find out what was going on.

" What's going on? Why are the three princes called together?" whispered a minister in a low voice.

" The minister does not know either. It seems like there is something important that the Emperor will discuss"

" But is it possible that this is related to recent events? Is there a big decision to announce?"

As they were considering the possibility, suddenly a gentle step was heard approaching, and the third prince stepped into the meeting room. Everyone fell silent as soon as they saw her, admiring her splendor and the positive aura that enveloped her.

The Third Prince was a charming and charismatic figure. He wore luxurious clothes with rich colors and beautiful motifs. The golden crown he wore added to the impression of nobility, and his sharp and thoughtful eyes exuded incredible confidence. When he walked, his steps were firm and his stamina was impressive.

" Third Prince" said Minister Zhang. Others may not have the courage to ask but he is the future in-law of the third prince even though later it was only from the side of the concubine.

"This prince also does not know, this morning was summoned by the Emperor without further explanation. But we'll know soon enough"

The ministers nodded in understanding, still impressed by the Third Prince's presence. They felt increasingly curious about the reason behind this special meeting and waited anxiously to find out what the Emperor was about to announce.

The atmosphere of the meeting room was getting filled up as everyone had gathered, but suddenly the door of the hall opened and the Fourth Prince entered.

He was a young prince who was 16 years old, but already had an imposing presence. The Fourth Prince had a handsome face with his black hair left long and tied with a piece of gold ribbon. His brilliant eyes reflected intelligence and cheerfulness.

The Fourth Prince wore luxurious clothes with bright colors and intricate embroidery. On its neck is a beautiful pearl pendant, adding to the charm and splendor of its appearance. It walked with graceful steps, exuding the charm of a bright and talented youth.

The ministers who were already amazed by the Third Prince's presence could not ignore the Fourth Prince's presence. They looked at him with awe and wanted to know what he was going to say.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere grew lively as the Second Prince also entered the room. The Second Prince is a figure full of rebellious characters and has always loved poya-foya. It has an attractive appearance with brown hair that is drizzly and slightly messy. Her enchanting eyes exuded an adventurous spirit and freedom.

The Second Prince wore a more casual outfit but still looked luxurious. He wore a robe with a striking design and some jewelry that solidified his status as a prince. His always smiling face made him look like a playful brat.

The ministers felt slightly tempted by the Second Prince's rebellious aura, but still maintained their respect.

The atmosphere of the meeting room became silent when suddenly someone shouted loudly like a toa, "The Great Emperor has arrived! Respect to the Emperor!"

Everyone stood tall and lowered their heads respectfully as the Great Emperor entered the meeting area. This emperor was an imposing figure with incomparable prestige. He wore magnificent clothes and reflected his status as Emperor.

The emperor wore a maroon-red robe with elaborate gold embroidery. On his shoulders was a dragon emblem, a powerful imperial symbol and symbolizing courage and greatness. On his head, he wore a crown decorated with jewels and precious stones, asserting his position as supreme leader.

This Emperor's face was filled with a thoughtful and calm expression. His sharp eyes exuded intelligence and wisdom. Its long beard gives the effect of wisdom and stability.

After walking gracefully, the Emperor finally arrived at his throne. He sat down in a firm manner and began to observe the officials present. The atmosphere of the room became filled with tension and honor, as every word and gesture had to be carefully considered in front of the Great Emperor.

The Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, along with the ministers, paid their respects in a courteous and soulful manner in a meeting with the Great Emperor.

First, the Second Prince advanced forward with graceful steps. He crossed his hands on his chest gently, lowered his head, and bowed humbly. In line with the gesture of reverence, he said in a soft and respectful voice, "Great Emperor, may you live to be 1000 years old. May the light and wisdom of this throne always illuminate our kingdom's path to prosperity and peace."

Then, the Third Prince followed his older brother's steps. He closed his palms on his chest, bowing earnestly, expressing his respect and loyalty. In a stern tone, he spoke, "Great Emperor, may you live forever for up to 1000 years. May your wisdom overflow and guide our steps in the face of all challenges."

When it was the Fourth Prince's turn to pay his respects, he made the same move as his older brothers. He bent his body gracefully, honoring the Emperor sincerely. Gently, he said, "Great Emperor, may your age be endowed to 1000 years. May this throne always be endowed with peace and prosperity under your leadership."

The ministers, including First Minister Xue Wei and the ministers of the circle, also paid their respects in the same way. They simultaneously raised their right hand to the chest, bowed humbly, and expressed their hope in a loud voice, "Great Emperor, may you live eternally for up to 1000 years. May this kingdom continue to be endowed with wisdom and justice under your leadership."

Inside the quiet room, the Great Emperor raised his hand gracefully, beckoning everyone to return to their respective positions. The gentle and firm movements of his hands have become a familiar language for princes and ministers. Without saying a word, they obediently and swiftly moved to where they had originally been, arranging the ranks in an orderly manner.

By then, the wise old eunuch had already prepared near the Emperor with a tray containing the decrees that had been drawn up beforehand. He gently handed that handsome hand to the Emperor, while paying a deep respect.

Only the third pigeon raised his smile cunningly. Here he thought this decree must have been made in light of his complaint yesterday. Even so he could not blatantly point out his mistake to the ministers present .Moreover with the second prince and the fourth prince who were certainly people who deserved suspicion.

Amidst the silence of the room, the old eunuch gently opened the tray that contained the edict. A neatly folded roll of paper appeared in front of him, containing instructions from the Great Emperor to deal with serious problems in the drought-stricken province.

In a calm but clear voice, the old eunuch began to recite the contents of the decree. "For the sake of the prosperity and prosperity of the kingdom, the Great Emperor hereby declared that province X was experiencing a severe drought. This drought has threatened soil fertility and caused water scarcity. As a result, an outbreak of cholera has spread in the region."

The second, third, and fourth princes and all the ministers present listened attentively. They are aware of the urgency of the situation facing the province.

Province X is a fertile region, but drought has claimed the fertility of the soil. Princes and ministers know how important this mission is, because if not dealt with quickly, cholera outbreaks can spread and wreak havoc on the people there.

"According to the wisdom of the Great Emperor, the princes will not be allowed to return to the palace before their work is well done" the old eunuch added in a voice that echoed throughout the room. "This task is not only to overcome the problems of drought and plague, but also to strengthen the relationship between the brothers in this kingdom."

No one saw that the third prince who was actually standing with his feet was actually grasping both hands tightly.

He did not expect at all that the outcome of his reporting yesterday would be like this.

What the emperor thought at this time.

But if you think about it again maybe this can also be made a very rare opportunity. What would happen if in this work one of the two princes did not return alive.

It doesn't seem like a disaster but it's actually a blessing.

By thinking so suddenly the mood is like when the deteriorating becomes cheerful again.

"Whatever challenges we face, we will carry out this task with all our heart and loyalty to the Emperor and the kingdom" the third prince said with determination.

Meanwhile at the same time the second prince only smiled faintly and did not know what he was thinking.

On the other hand the 4th prince was instead confused and thought, whether he should leave.

Above all these prejudices everyone does not show them at all, but the sure thing of the decree is something positive.

With the decree, province X hoped to recover from drought and cholera, and the brotherhood among princes would grow ever closer in their duty to good.

But anyway knowing if it's actually a little naive thinking.

A prince at birth they had already learned to live. Their thinking is full of bloody political situations. He said he wanted to deepen the relationship between the brothers but anyone knew what kind of relationship there was between the princes at this time.

It is a pity that almost all ministers thought that one of the three princes who were sent would certainly return in a condition of being a corpse.

But who would dare to say this.

The ministers dispersed from the Morning Assembly Hall with mixed feelings. Some are still looking confused and trying to find a further understanding of the decree that has just been announced. Amid the crowd of ministers who came out, the third Prince walked at a rapid pace, looking hurried and full of thought.

However, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt when one of the right ministers stopped him gently. The minister immediately took the initiative to speak, "Third Prince, I'm sorry this Minister wants to discuss something with you."

The third prince turned his head towards the minister who spoke, but his expression still reflected confusion and uncertainty. "What's wrong?" tanyanya brief.

The right minister realized the urgency of the situation and continued quickly, "In response to the Great Emperor's decree, it seems like your marriage to the Princess should be brought forward. The trip to the province will take quite a long time, and we understand that this is an urgent situation."

As a poor person who had crossed the political world in this dayun country, he also knew what consequences the third prince would face when he left later.

However, the right minister also realized that the opportunity for the third prince was more victorious than the other two princes.

With this chance of winning he had to grab hold early. Although his position was only as a side concubine, if it was true the third prince would become Emperor in the future. Wouldn't he also be considered the Emperor's later in-law.

To establish the position, the marriage of the third prince and his first Princess must be advanced before the third prince leaves.

The third prince nodded in understanding, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "this prince understands that this situation requires quick steps.The prince will immediately arrange our marriage according to the wishes of the Great Emperor."

The minister saluted and thanked him for his understanding, then the third Prince continued his steps carefully.

Behind her serious expression, she feels that her life has been faced with profound changes, and her supposed marriage to be the culmination of her life's happiness must now be moved for the sake of her urgent provincial duties.

Full of complicated thoughts and feelings, the right minister again walked towards his residence. He knew that many things had to be prepared to arrange the third prince's wedding with his Princess Zhang Mei.

Soon the contents of the decree spread and became the lips of the people in the capital.

Sending 3 princes at once at the same time, was the current Emperor's intention correct.
