Chapter 547 Delaying time
He was usually used to wearing casual and loose silk clothes, but now he was wearing very formal palace clothes, and he was not used to this kind of attire at all.
The palace maids brought a golden hair-fixing crown and wanted to tie his hair up, but Yuan Chao had a bald head at the moment, so they were a little at a loss.
Yuan Chao said: "Just bring me a fur raccoon hat."
"Yes, sir." The maid responded and went down to get him a fur raccoon hat.
Just as I finished getting dressed, Nanny An walked in from outside.
She knew Yuan Chao's true identity. Seeing that he was wearing the prince's palace dress and looked very noble, she immediately stepped forward and started to praise him.
"Your Highness is truly handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. The Queen Mother has a good eye. This dress really suits you very well."
Yuan Chao had a blank expression on his face. Having lived outside the palace for a long time, he was not used to the other party's flattering attitude.
The more the other person praises him and flatters him, the more uncomfortable he will feel.
He asked directly: "Madam, why are you here?"
Nanny An then remembered the purpose of her visit. She smiled and said, "The ceremony of establishing the crown prince is about to begin. The ministers all want to see you. The Queen Mother has asked me to invite the Crown Prince to come over."
Before he became the crown prince, Nanny An had already changed her mind. Yuan Chao frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
He followed Nanny An to Chengqian Palace, which was already full of people.
The eunuch in charge called out in a sharp voice, "The young master of the Yuan Dynasty has arrived!"
All eyes were fixed on Yuan Chao in almost an instant. His heart began beating like a drum and he felt a chill from head to toe.
All the people present were important officials in the court with great talent and strategy. Each of them had worked in the officialdom for many years and mingled among all kinds of people. Naturally, their aura was stronger.
Usually just a look can scare people to death.
Yuan Chao had never been out of the house, let alone come into contact with so many outsiders. It would be a lie for him to say that he was not frightened at this moment.
He could tell that people were looking at him as if he were an item on a shelf.
Their eyes showed disdain, ridicule, and jealousy, and very few people showed any expression of praise.
It was as if everyone was whispering in his ear, "How can a sickly person like him become an emperor?"
At this moment, Yuan Chao felt an urge to escape.
As soon as his thought came up, it was accurately captured by Empress Dowager Yuan.
She stood up and called out, "Chao'er, come here quickly, so many ministers are waiting for you!"
Yuan Chao's whole body froze, his feet felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step.
He couldn't imagine that if the days to come were like today and he had to face so many people with complicated minds, what would be the meaning of his life?
Suddenly, someone cast a kind look at him.
Yuan Chao turned around and found that it was an ordinary-looking guard in black with a long sword hanging on his body.
The other person's eyes were too familiar, Yuan Chao always felt like he had seen him somewhere.
He thought about it and remembered that the other person looked very much like the older brother who gave him a lollipop when he met him at home last time.
But the appearance of the guard in front of him and his older brother were completely different, and Yuan Chao felt a little depressed.
Xie Liuzheng felt a little bit reluctant when he saw Yuan Chao standing there with an expression that seemed both scared and hesitant.
This child was pushed out by the old witch!
The old witch is truly insane, as she even uses her own son as a pawn.
Just when Xie Liuzheng thought Yuan Chao would retreat, unexpectedly he suddenly plucked up the courage and walked forward.
Empress Dowager Yuan's face was filled with joy, but she suppressed the impulse in her heart and did not take the initiative to greet him.
When Yuan Chao walked forward and stood beside her, Queen Mother Yuan then walked beside him.
She introduced to everyone: "This is my nephew Yuan Chao. His fate has been calculated by the imperial master long ago. He is destined to be an emperor that only appears once in a hundred years. If he becomes emperor within two years, he will greatly prosper Western Shu."
"Since Chao'er was born, his parents both died for some reason. He has been taken care of by people sent by my father. Although he has not been out much due to health reasons in recent years, he has never slacked off in his studies. My dear ministers, there is no need to worry about his ability."
One of the ministers mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Highness, please forgive me for asking one more question. I see that Master Yuan has a pale face, dark purple lips, and a thin body. I'm afraid he has a heart problem."
"Although he is the emperor's heir, the emperor is busy with many affairs every day. Given his current physical condition, can he really be made the crown prince?"
Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and said, "What Lord Xu can consider, I have naturally considered long ago."
"I have invited Doctor Yun to live in the palace and have her take care of Chao'er. Doctor Yun is a highly skilled doctor. With just two acupuncture treatments, my 17-year-old headache has been cured. I believe that with her skills, it will be no problem for her to cure Chao'er's illness."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
She just wanted to ask, where is the old witch's face?
She and the Imperial Master had just been complaining about her medical skills, thinking that she was exaggerating, but now she was swearing in front of so many ministers that she could cure the Yuan Dynasty?
She could cure Yuan Chao, but with the old witch and the imperial teacher's torturous methods, Yuan Chao might not be able to wait until the day she performed the operation.
After hearing what Empress Dowager Yuan said, all the ministers fell silent.
Empress Dowager Yuan glanced at them and said, "Since all the ministers have no objection, let's begin the ceremony of establishing the crown prince!"
"Wait, I have an opinion." Just then, a voice sounded and Yuan Jiuan stood up.
He didn't express his opinion just now, but he had been observing Queen Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master. In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them looked at each other no less than a hundred times.
This shows that there is really something wrong between the two of them.
When Empress Dowager Yuan saw that it was Yuan Jiuan who called off the ceremony, she frowned and felt a little unhappy.
"I have brought Chao'er here for you to see. I wonder if the King Chengxuan has any other opinions?"
Yuan Jiuan stood there with a straight posture, his magnetic voice as gentle as spring.
"Establishing a crown prince is no small matter. Logically, we should obtain the consent of Emperor Chu in advance and obtain his edict of succession. Only then can Prince Yuan obtain the throne in a fair and just manner."
"In my opinion, the Queen Mother should invite Emperor Chu out as well. Even if you don't have an abdication decree, let him nod in public. This way, the succession ceremony will appear more formal, and it can also silence the gossips outside."
"Her Majesty, do you think what I said is right?"
