After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 263
After the fifth prince's marriage was decided, people in the court began to talk about building the prince's palace.

This happened to the eldest prince after his marriage was settled, so it was not unusual.

But then, someone in the court mentioned the matter of assigning titles to the fifth prince, and it was not just one person who mentioned this matter.

After hearing this, the emperor hesitated for a moment and said that we would discuss this matter next time.

It's not that the emperor is unwilling to give the fifth prince a title or something, but it's just that the matter of giving a title is not as simple as the fifth prince getting married and building a mansion.

Getting married and building a palace only meant that the fifth prince had a family, and it had no major impact on the others.

But once the title is assigned, there are corresponding rights, and the meaning is different.

The emperor didn't care whether the rights were divided or not, but the court was still fairly balanced now, but even so, the fifth prince's faction was at loggerheads with the eldest prince's faction before.

If he now ennobles the fifth princes with titles, then the court will probably become even more unstable.

If the court is unstable, it will be of little benefit to the people's livelihood.

As an emperor, he had many things to consider.

However, others may not be able to understand the emperor's thoughts. When his request for a title was rejected, the ministers thought that the emperor had some opinions or dissatisfaction with the fifth prince...

The court hall was lively for a while, and there was also a lot of discussion in the palace.

When Empress Li heard the words spread among the people in the palace, she threw the tea cup angrily: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? The fifth prince is the legitimate son of this palace. For so many years, the Emperor has not been sure about the crown prince. Now he can't be ennobled." Don’t you want to?”.

In Empress Li's opinion, the legitimate son she gave birth to should be a legitimate prince.

But look, now that the fifth prince has reached the age of getting married, he has always been just a prince without any title.

Now the courtiers have mentioned this matter, but the emperor still turns a blind eye to it.

How can Queen Li not be angry at this?

Shui Xiu stood aside and persuaded her hard: "Don't be angry, your Majesty. Didn't the Emperor say that we can discuss this matter later? Your Majesty, he didn't refuse outright!".

Since it’s a matter of discussion later, that means it’s still very possible!

Empress Li snorted coldly: "That's it. Haven't you heard what's been discussed in the palace recently? Jiang and the others may not know why they are laughing at me for this matter!".

The emperor finally compromised, but his current attitude has already shown everyone that he is not very satisfied with the fifth prince.

The emperor's current attitude is not a good thing for Empress Li or the fifth prince.

Shui Xiu didn't dare to speak anymore.

Shui Xiu naturally knew about the jokes spread in the palace. Even Empress Li knew that these were all relayed by Shui Xiu, so how could Shui Xiu not know about them?
Precisely because he knew what the people in the palace were talking about, Shui Xiu didn't dare to talk nonsense now.

She was afraid that if she said something wrong, she would make Empress Li angry again, which would affect her.

Empress Li was too lazy to care what Shui Xiu thought. After being angry for a while, she turned to Shui Xiu and said, "You can send a message to Shangshufu...".

After a while, Shui Xiu nodded and went.

As for what Queen Li ordered Shuixiu Chuan to do, no one knows about it now.

However, two days later, someone in the court again brought up the matter of assigning titles to the fifth princes. After mentioning it again and again, the emperor had to pay attention to this matter.The emperor didn't say anything in court, and he didn't say no or yes to the matter raised by the courtiers about assigning titles to the five princes.

Seeing the emperor like this, the courtiers thought that the emperor really didn't want to see the fifth prince.

The people of the Fifth Prince Faction became anxious for a while, but the people of the First Prince Faction were very happy.

The less the emperor wants to see the fifth prince, doesn't it mean that the eldest prince has a better chance of gaining the emperor's attention?
They are all princes. Although there are differences between legitimate concubines and concubines, in the royal family, the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines is not that important. As long as the emperor pays attention to it, that prince can become the next emperor.

That's the most important thing.

Just when the eldest prince's faction and the fifth prince's faction were still trying to make a fuss over this matter, the emperor suddenly made a decree to divide the titles.

With this decree, everyone inside and outside the palace, in and out of the palace, had nothing to say.

Because the emperor's decree to allocate titles was not only for the fifth prince, but also for the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was entrusted with the title of Prince Ze, and the fifth prince was enfeoffed with the title of Prince Yi.

Both are princes and are impartial.

At this moment, everyone from the eldest prince's faction and the fifth prince's faction exploded.

The people of the eldest prince's faction were of course bursting with joy.

After all, at the beginning, the eldest prince never thought that he would be assigned a title. He felt that he had not made any military exploits in the past two years. Isn't it normal that he could not be assigned a title?

Therefore, when the fifth prince's faction pressed for the title, the eldest prince's faction did not do this at all.

At best, the people from the eldest prince's faction only want to cause trouble for the people from the fifth prince's faction, not wanting the fifth prince to be knighted smoothly.

But now, the eldest prince likes it very much if he can get a title out of thin air.

As for the fifth prince?

The fifth prince did not show any joy or anger. It seemed that being given a title was no big deal and he continued to look as usual.

In the harem, Queen Li was furious to death when she learned of the result.

Ordinarily, Empress Li should be happy when the fifth prince received the title, but the emperor assigned the title to the eldest prince and the fifth prince together. The thought of this made Empress Li angry.

Especially when the concubines from the harem came to pay their respects the next morning, Empress Li became even more angry when she saw Concubine Wu De's smiling face.

The fifth prince is the emperor's only legitimate son. How can the emperor treat him as the same as the eldest prince?
The courtiers had requested this before, but the emperor never had any intention of entrusting the fifth prince with a title. Oh, now that the eldest prince is involved, the title will be divided?

Empress Li felt very angry just thinking about it.

There are people who just like to make Queen Li angry.

While drinking tea, Concubine Jiang looked at Empress Li's expression. After a while, she smiled and turned to look at Concubine Wu.

Concubine Jiang said to Concubine Wu with a smile: "Oh, I really didn't expect that the emperor actually made the eldest prince the Prince of Ze County. Look at Sister De Concubine, she is really in high spirits on happy occasions!".

Concubine Wu smiled and said modestly: "It's all because of the emperor's love. The eldest prince always said that he had not done much in the past two years. He didn't dare to think about this title. Now that the emperor has made him Prince of Ze, the eldest prince and I both I’m so flattered!”
