The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 422: Nine Passes and Nine Cities Return 25
Qi Hengyuan asked, "Is the baby coming soon?"

Yan Ning said: "It will take more than three months to give birth, in October."

Qi Hengyuan hummed, took her hand, looked at the ministers, and said loudly: "Qi State once lost nine passes and nine cities, ceded thousands of miles of land, and lived in humiliation. Now, we have recovered the nine passes and nine cities, and recovered the thousands of miles of loss. This is a great joyous event. The royal family and the people will celebrate together for three days!"

He was facing the ministers and also facing the direction of the city wall. He used his internal strength when he spoke, and his voice spread from the gate of the city wall to the inside of the city wall and into the ears of every citizen.

The ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed, their faces filled with excitement.

Some ministers even shed tears.

The Empress Dowager, the Prince of Qi's uncle, and the Prince of Qi's wife also knelt on the ground.

They shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor! Long live Concubine Yan! Long live the emperor! The State of Qi is mighty!"

The loud voice echoed around the city gate.

Yan Ning turned his head to look at the man next to him. His brows were raised and he was in high spirits. This was his victory and also his glory.

He is a natural emperor, with the wisdom and courage to rule the world.

His first wish was fulfilled.

Next, is his second wish.

It was also time for her to settle her grudges.

Qi Hengyuan said, "Everyone, get up. There will be a banquet in the palace tonight. Come!"

Qi Hengyuan was happy, and after saying that, he carried Yan Ning into the carriage.

Yan Ning was pregnant, so she came out in a carriage, which was parked not far behind her.

After we were seated, the carriage headed towards the palace.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I heard the people shouting, "Your Majesty is mighty! Long live His Majesty!"

Yan Ning lifted the car curtain and saw people kneeling on both sides of the road.

Their faces were filled with excitement and joy, and their eyes were full of light, making the sky brighter.

Yan Ning lowered the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, you have recovered the nine passes and nine cities. From the ministers to the common people, everyone is very happy. They respect and admire you from the bottom of their hearts."

Qi Hengyuan lowered his head and kissed her: "I only want their respect, not their admiration. It is enough for me to have you admiring me."

Yan Ning's belly is big, and it's not convenient to kiss her.

She pushed him.

Qi Hengyuan sighed, turned her around, hugged her from behind, let her lean on his arms again, he lowered his head, and kissed her passionately.

Outside the carriage, the people were still shouting.

Inside the carriage, the wise and mighty king was pulling at Yan Ning's clothes, reaching his hand inside, enjoying her warmth and softness.

Yan Ning was panting, and Qi Hengyuan was not having a good time either.

After returning to the palace, he carried her directly into the inner room.

Yan Ning thought, she is so fat, but he can still hold her, he is indeed a martial artist.

Qi Hengyuan undressed, took a bath, and then hugged Yan Ning to relieve his longing.

Yan Ning was worried about the child and always tried to stop it.

Qi Hengyuan was not satisfied and looked depressed.

He said to Yan Ning's belly with gritted teeth: "Little bastard, come out quickly."

Yan Ning found it funny and just lay limply on the bed, ignoring him.

Qi Hengyuan vented for a while, then dressed himself and went out.

There was a celebration banquet in the palace at night, and the people also held celebration banquets at home. The celebration banquet lasted for three nights. On the fourth day, the palace was quiet.

The nine passes and nine cities were restored, and Qi entered a period of recuperation. Qi Hengyuan had half the trouble left. At least there was no war, and he felt much more relaxed when attending court.

The state affairs have been relieved, the nine passes and nine cities have been restored, and the war against the State of Jiang is a long-term matter and will not be achieved in a short time.

Qi Hengyuan turned his attention away from the war and focused it on the palace.

His harem needs a mistress.

He also needs a queen.

He was eager to marry Yan Ning back.

Yes, marry.

He also wanted to marry Yan Ning, give her the title of queen, and make her the mother of the country.

But this matter was both his private affair and a state affair, and he did not act arbitrarily.

Although he knew that he would make Yan Ning the queen no matter what, he still summoned Prime Minister Liu to the palace and told him about this matter.

Liu Guoxiang said with a smile: "Noble Concubine Yan has made contributions to the country and the heirs. With her merits, she is the rightful choice for the position of empress."

Qi Hengyuan was happy to hear this. With Liu Guo's help, he was halfway to success.

Qi Hengyuan said, "Prime Minister, you think so, but that doesn't mean others think so. Please help me find out what other ministers think. I want to know how many people support it, how many people oppose it, and who supports it and who opposes it."

Liu Guoxiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you really love Concubine Yan. You are so careful about this kind of thing."

Qi Hengyuan said: "I don't want any accidents to happen, and I don't want her to be criticized. She deserves everyone's respect, and she deserves my pampering. I want to finish this matter before I tell her."

Prime Minister Liu nodded and said, "I understand. I will go down and take care of this matter right away."

Qi Hengyuan nodded, and Prime Minister Liu left.

Liu Guoxiang first went to see Yang Jing, and then went to see Fu Shan. These two people were in high positions of power, so he wanted to sound out the issue first.

After Yang Jing knew the purpose of Liu Guoxiang's visit, he smiled and said, "Is this the task assigned to you by His Majesty?"

Liu Guoxiang said with a smile: "Yang Wuhou is smart. This is indeed the task assigned to me by His Majesty. I have no choice but to do it."

Yang Jing said, "You don't need to test me. Your Majesty wants Concubine Yan to be the queen, and I have no objection. Only Concubine Yan is qualified to be the queen of Qi. No one else is qualified."

Fu Shan said something similar.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Liu held a banquet at home and invited some ministers.

Prime Minister Liu implicitly sounded out some of the ministers' opinions, and no one objected.

Yes, we all have eyes, and we all know how much His Majesty loves Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan is now pregnant again, carrying the hopes of Qi.

There are no women in your Majesty's harem anymore. They have all been dismissed by your Majesty.

If Your Majesty is not allowed to make Concubine Yan the Queen, His Majesty will be angry.

Your Majesty has taken back the Nine Passes and Nine Cities, making the Emperor of Jiang and the Prince of Jiang look humiliated. Your Majesty is a peerless hero, and they dare not disobey him.

After Prime Minister Liu made some inquiries, he found out that all the ministers agreed with His Majesty's intention to make Concubine Yan the Queen.

No one really objected.

Liu Guoxiang told Qi Hengyuan about this situation.

Qi Hengyuan was very pleased: "My trust in them is worth it. Okay, I understand."

Prime Minister Liu asked, "When will Your Majesty hold the ceremony to crown the Queen? This is a major event for Qi State, and crowning the Queen is no joke. We must prepare in advance."

Qi Hengyuan thought for a moment and said, "Yan Ning is still pregnant and her belly is big. It's not convenient or safe at this time. Let's wait until she gives birth and then set a date. If she gives birth to a prince, it will be more legitimate. If it's a princess, she will also be of royal blood."
