Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 225: King Hao Ling strongly protects Xiao Yao

Regarding the rumors about Hao Ling Jiuyao's life experience, everyone is looking forward to how King Hao Ling will deal with this matter.

Chaohui Hall

The court officials were discussing the matter, but they did not dare to speak loudly. King Hao Ling's expression was calm, but his majesty remained undiminished. Everyone knew how strong and arbitrary he was!

Next to King Hao Ling was Xiling Heng. Everyone was surprised by the princess's arrival today. Since ancient times, concubines were not allowed to enter the court, so it was unheard of for concubines to participate in politics!

"The princess has arrived!"

Hao Ling Jiu Yao held Xiang Yao's hand, and a little kid followed behind. Regardless of the surprised expressions of the crowd, they walked with proud and confident steps to the front of the hall. The two stood and saluted King Hao Ling.

"My daughter Hao Ling Jiuyao greets father and mother!"

"Haoling Jiuyao's husband Jiu Ming Xiang Yao greets his father, the king, and his mother, the queen!"

"Hao Ling Qingchen greets Grandfather Emperor! Grandmother Emperor!"

Sui Sui came out from behind and imitated his parents to greet them.

"Everyone, stand up, Sui Sui, and come to Grandpa and Grandma!"

"it is good!"

Suisui was dressed elegantly, but she was calm, confident and polite in front of everyone.

Everyone stared at this scene in amazement, stunned for a moment, and then whispered to each other!

"Isn't it rumored that Jiu Ming is dead? And when did the princess marry him?"

"We're not discussing this now. Whose daughter is the Princess Da Wangji?"

When Sui Sui came closer, King Hao Ling held him on his knees and sat him down, then he faced the court officials.

"Okay, I know everyone has a lot of questions, so I'm going to answer them one by one today. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, pushing and shoving each other. Finally, the Xihe tribe leader stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Your Majesty, is the princess the daughter of Chichen and the late queen?"

King Hao Ling's expression remained unchanged. He gave the somewhat uneasy Xiling Heng a reassuring look, silently comforting him.

"Xiaoyao is indeed Chichen's daughter."

"Since this is the case, the Haoling bloodline must not be mixed. I implore Your Majesty to abolish the Grand Princess's status."

King Hao Ling was not annoyed, but asked some other questions.

"My dear ministers, what do you think the princess did wrong?"

"Since returning, the princess has been with the Black Emperor. Her heart is clearly drawn to Xiyan. I've even heard that she risked her life to save the Black Emperor. She's also often stayed in Xiyan over the years. I think, since she's not your Majesty's daughter and she's closer to Xiyan, why not let her go back?"

King Hao Ling nodded. If it weren’t for Xiao Yao and Yan Mo, he would indeed do so.

"What do you think of Little Sixth Princess, my dear ministers?"

"Prince Xiao Liu is naturally excellent! Everyone has witnessed her contributions to Hao Ling over the past few hundred years. However, Princess Xiao Liu has been missing for so long. I wonder where she has gone?"

"I ask you, for an emperor, is his bloodline more important, or his contributions to the people?"

The White Tiger Tribe leader stood up and replied, "I think that while bloodline is important, serving the people is also important!"

"Although Princess Sixth is not of my blood, she has devoted herself to my Haoling and made countless contributions. I wonder if you, my dear ministers, would have any objections if I gave Haoling to her?"

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. Your Majesty still has the Second Princess, right? Why not consider her? Besides, Your Majesty is in good health, so why rush to appoint a crown prince?"

There was a commotion in the hall. It seemed that King Haoling had to confirm the next crown prince today. However, the eldest princess and the sixth princess were not his majesty's bloodline, so how could they be appointed as crown princes?

"Who said my sister can't be made the crown prince? I support my sister!"

Hao Ling Qingyan's cheerful voice rang out from outside the door. Everyone turned around and saw a young general in silver-white armor striding towards them with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

She came here today to support Xiaoyao!

"Father, Queen Mother! Wuyou is back!"

"You're back, stand up!"

The head of the Qinglong tribe stepped forward and knelt, saying earnestly, "Your Majesty, the Second Princess is as capable as any man, and she is also your bloodline. I earnestly request that the Second Princess be made Crown Prince!"

"Hey, you old man..."

Wuyou was furious and pointed at the leader of the Qinglong tribe and wanted to curse.

King Hao Ling reminded: "Wuyou!"

Most of the people knelt on the ground and said in unison: "We beg you to make the Second Princess the Crown Prince!"

Not one of them asked why they called the princess "Mother".

"I won't do it, my sister is more suitable!"

Everyone was silent, just kneeling on the ground, as if they couldn't make any decisions unless King Hao Ling agreed.

"My dear ministers, please stand up and listen to me. However, no one can change my decision. Today, I am here to inform you, not to question you!"

Everyone is ashamed, but King Hao Ling is still as strong as ever...

"Heng, come here!"

Prince Hao Ling put Sui Sui down, stood up, and extended his hand to Xi Ling Heng. Today, Xi Ling Heng was dressed completely in the makeup of a queen. Everyone initially thought that Prince Hao Ling wanted to make her the queen. Although it was against the rules, they wanted to deal with the matter of the princess first, so they did not mention the princess's makeup.

"Ah Heng? Isn't this the late queen's name?"

"My dear ministers, for some reasons, there are some things that have been hidden from you. I am truly sorry. The princess is actually Xiling Heng, the princess of Xiyan. I have always been in love with her. When I was young and did not understand love, I married Ah Heng by agreement. Before the marriage, Ah Heng and Chi Chen already had Xiaoyao. In fact, it was Xiyan and Hao Ling who forced her to marry me. When she returned to the battlefield for her country, I promised her that I would treat Xiaoyao as my own child, but I lost her. Fortunately, Yan Mo rescued Ah Heng. "In my entire life, I, Shaohao, have only loved one person, and that was Ah Heng. I am fortunate to be with her again. Xiaoyao is Ah Heng's child, and also my child. Also, Xiaoliu is Xiaoyao. Over the years, she has devoted her love to the country of Haoling, and has contributed financially and physically to her master without complaint. This is all witnessed by everyone. I believe you have a clear understanding of the situation. I have always trained Xiaoyao as a monarch. Today, no matter what dissatisfaction you may have, my decision cannot be changed."

Rushou: "I second the motion! I agree that the princess should be the next crown prince!"

Wuyou: "I agree too!"

Ju Mang: "I second the motion!"

The court officials exchanged glances and bowed in agreement. There was no other way. Prince Haoling had already said it; it was just a notice. Who cares if you agree or not? Since the Princess was the mother of the Grand Princess, and the Grand Princess was devoted to Haoling, a wise ruler who cared for the people was sometimes more important than blood. Furthermore, the Grand Princess's marriage to the Nine-Life Prime Minister Liu was a major boost, and they had a child. Judging by their physiognomy, they possessed the qualities of an emperor at such a young age. There was no need to worry about Haoling's prosperity in the future!

"My dear ministers, if you have no objection, two months from now, Haoling Jiuyao will be appointed as the next Haoling Empress! Jiuming Xiangyao will be the royal consort and will command the demon army! Xiaoyao, Xiangyao, receive the decree!"

"My daughter Jiuyao has accepted the order. Jiuyao will live up to her father's trust, protect Haoling, and benefit the people."

"Nine Life Minister Yao has received the order. Your son will do his utmost to protect Hao Ling and prevent any foreign enemies from invading even a single inch of our territory!"

Everyone was in an uproar! Is Prince Hao Ling challenging their bottom line? Where's the promised crown prince? You just announced the next emperor!

"Why, do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"

"No, no, Your Majesty is wise, and we have no objection!"

"Retreat!"
