Chapter 494 Name
Chapter 494 Name
"Father, I heard that you have already chosen names for your fifteenth brother and fifteenth sister?"
"This has not been issued yet. Where did you hear this?"
"What the Queen Mother said, is this a secret?"
"I told the Queen, that's right. What's wrong?"
Qin Mingyue moved closer to Qin Zhi's side in a flattering manner, stretched out her two index and middle fingers, carefully pinched the hem of Qin Zhi's sleeves, and shook it gently.
Qin Zhi glanced at her with a half-smile, "What are you trying to do?"
"Father~" Qin Mingyue squeezed her throat, her voice extremely sweet.
"Didn't you say that I am your favorite daughter?"
"That's true." Qin Zhi nodded without comment.
"My queen mother said that you plan to name your fifteenth brother 'Mingmao' and your fifteenth sister 'Mingdai'?" Qin Mingyue looked at Qin Zhi eagerly.
The "name" in "Only names and tools cannot be lent to others" is naturally not just a simple name.
But as Qin Mingyue is recognized as the most noble and favored princess, the name "Mingyue", which is different from other princesses, is part of the expression of her uniqueness.
Qin Zhi named the fifteenth princess Qin Mingdai, and chose the title Princess Yidu. In addition, she and Qin Mingyue were both legitimate daughters, and had the aura of dragon and phoenix twins. If Qin Mingyue was the eldest princess, she would not care that her sister, the fifteenth princess, was called Mingdai. But Qin Mingyue happened to be the second princess.
Yidu and Hengshan County belonged to the Chu territory, but since the King of Chu was conferred, Qin Mingyue only had regrets about the title of Princess of Chu.
Qin Zhi nodded slightly, "Do you think there's something wrong? Tell me what you think. I want to see if you have made any progress in the past year since you left the palace."
"My younger brother and sister were born together. The tortoise shell is a magical turtle, which means longevity and dignity. It is a very good name to give them this name. However, if we follow the old custom of using the auspicious dragon and phoenix as the auspicious symbol, they will be lost among all the other children. Why not remove the word 'Ming' and use a single word to highlight their difference and honor the blessing bestowed by heaven?"
Qin Mingyue had no intention of suppressing her half-sister. She just wanted to maintain her own uniqueness while finding ways to lift up her brothers and sisters who were born to the same mother.
"Yes! Mingyue is the eldest sister, and she is planning for her younger brothers and sisters. How can I not agree to your wishes?" Qin Zhi rubbed Qin Mingyue's head, "I will ask someone to re-draft the decree of naming."
"Thank you, father." Qin Mingyue immediately smiled and bowed to express her gratitude.
"By the way, I let you choose your own consorts, and you picked five. Don't think I will make all of them your consorts? You are almost twenty years old, and you are still dawdling."
Qin Mingyue took Qin Zhi's arm and said, "Father, please don't be anxious. I haven't done my research yet. You don't want me to have a messy life after marriage, do you?"
"Humph! I'm not in a hurry, but your mother will be worried."
Because of Qin Mingyue's incident, at the Queen Shen Ningyue's centenary banquet this year, a minister presented the "Female Rules and Instructions" as a gift and slapped the Queen hard in the face.
Qin Mingyue directly sent people to throw feces at her house every day. At the beginning, the ministers wrote several memorials to impeach her, but Qin Mingyue still did her own thing.
"Please stop using your magic. Many ministers have come to complain to me."
"Complain?" Qin Mingyue frowned in dissatisfaction.
Qin Zhi smiled and said, "They said that Li Qing's belt was stained with the smell of reincarnation, and it almost stunk up the entire government office. Did you pour it on someone?"
"How dare I? I'll have someone pour water on his door at dawn." Qin Mingyue shook his head violently.
What's the point of impeachment without evidence? Her father is on her side.
Qin Mingyue continued with a little pride: "The front and back doors, as well as the dog hole, were not spared."
"Enough is enough." Qin Zhi pulled the sleeve back from Qin Mingyue's hand.
"Yes, your son obeys your order." Qin Mingyue patted his chest.
"I'm talking about the prince consort."
"When you have chosen your husband, I will make you the Princess of Chu."
"Ah?" Qin Mingyue's eyes widened instantly, "But, but, Thirteenth Brother's adopted son..."
"Your ninth brother hasn't even given birth to his first son yet. Besides, who stipulated that a princess of Chu cannot be conferred a title of Princess of Chu when there is a King of Chu?"
Qin Mingyue felt mixed emotions at once. Surprise and joy suddenly surged into her heart. She nodded quickly, "Whatever your father says, I will choose a consort right away."
