After Li Zhi returned to his bedroom, he found Wu Meiniang and Li Hong following him. He hurriedly asked Wu Meiniang to go back and rest: "Meiniang, why are you here? You just gave birth, it's time to rest, go back and lie down."

The palace servants lifted the couch to one side, and Wu Meiniang leaned on it, smiling and saying, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine. Since Your Majesty has summoned the prime minister, I think it's something important. Let's wait for the prime minister to come."

Hearing her speak with full energy, Li Zhi gave up the idea of ​​letting her rest. After all, the empress's previous birth of a child did not prevent her from reviewing memorials, so let it go.

After waiting for a while, the prime ministers arrived. At this time, Li Zhifang said, "I summoned you all here to ask you to draft an imperial edict."

"I just heard from the Supreme Lord Laojun in my dream that my legitimate daughter Zhao is the reincarnation of a god. She was formerly known as Yudou Xuanzun, and she is the ruler of the high heaven and commands the Taiwei Wall. Now she has joined my clan to help the Tang Dynasty eliminate disasters and resolve misfortunes. I was very happy to hear this, and I should pay homage to the gods. Therefore, I specially imitated the Han system and appointed her as the eldest princess, respectfully called the eldest princess, and granted her the title of Taiwei, with 10,000 households in Muyi, and 5,000 in actual fiefdom, and a government office and the same status as the prince."

These conditions alone were already beyond the etiquette, and the prime ministers stared with eyes wide open in disbelief.

But Li Zhi's last sentence is the key point: "All etiquette and regulations are above me."

The ministers were in an uproar. According to the etiquette, he was above the emperor? !

Isn't this giving someone a handle, holding Tai'a upside down! If the power of the emperor is given to someone else, if it spreads to the court, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar!

Li Hong was the first to object: "Father, no! Although my sister was born with auspicious signs, she is still a princess. How can she have a government office like a prince and be above the emperor and father in the etiquette system?"

Li Zhi had just dreamed of Li Zhao's improved version of the Anshi Rebellion, and now he had a very bad impression of Li Hong. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his brows and said with a gloomy face: "Prince, are you questioning my will?"

His face darkened, and Li Hong knelt down on the spot, bowing his head and denying, "I dare not. But this is really against etiquette."

When Wu Meiniang saw this, she just lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, but she felt extremely mocking in her heart.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of this prince, it's against etiquette for her to be the queen ruling on behalf of the emperor.

Pei Xingjian had just returned from the Western Regions not long ago. Although he had witnessed the auspicious signs when the princess was born, he could not allow the emperor to issue such an absurd decree.

He also stood up to object, saying, "Your Majesty, the princess is just a child now. How can she help the Tang Dynasty to resolve disasters and difficulties? It would be better to confer the title of princess on her and set up a princess's county, just like the old example of Princess Jinyang of Emperor Taizong, and add 300 households to her fiefdom."

Li Zhi frowned even deeper. Pei Xingjian saw that things were not going well, so he added, "However, the princess was born extraordinary, so we should show respect to her. The etiquette should be the same as that for a prince."

Li Zhi remained silent, as if he was considering the matter. Wu Meiniang understood that he had not really made up his mind, so she did not speak either.

Finally, Li Zhi made up his mind: "Then we shall follow the Han system and appoint the emperor's youngest daughter as the eldest princess, give her the title of Taiwei, respectfully address her as the eldest princess, grant her a thousand households, and actually grant her five hundred households. We shall set up a princess's office and she shall live in the Qisheng Palace. The rest of the ceremonies shall be the same as those for princes. I shall announce it to the world immediately."

"We obey your order." The prime ministers no longer objected and immediately wrote the edict and announced it to the world.

After Qingluan finished eavesdropping, she returned to Qisheng Temple and told Li Zhao everything about their conversation. Li Zhao was very dissatisfied after hearing it: "That's it? Tsk!"

After a while, the eunuch who was to announce the decree came. After he finished reading the decree, Li Zhao heard the prompt sound indicating that the task was completed.

He earned 10,000 points, but Li Zhao was still unhappy: "The emperor still doesn't believe that I am a god. It seems that I need to take a strong dose of medicine, otherwise the emperor will not give me power again."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Qingluan, my third baptism ceremony will be in two days!"

"Come here, I have something for you to do."

After the prime ministers left, Li Zhi asked Wu Meiniang and Li Hong to go down and rest first. He sat alone in silence for a long time, until the third watch, when he could no longer bear it and then he got on the couch.

That night, Li Zhi tossed and turned, sometimes thinking of the tragic scene he saw in his dream, sometimes recalling the prophecy uttered by Laozi, and was in great torment.

His mind was full of the thought of his newborn daughter Lingyue being able to ward off disasters and solve problems. He had a very torturous night, and even his appetite was poor the next morning. He only took a few mouthfuls of food like a cat, and was in low spirits for two days.

This allowed Li Zhao to take advantage of the situation and complete a mission.

As the points kept coming in, Qingluan no longer looked surprised.

But Li Zhao was quite unhappy. He gnashed his ungrown teeth and thought to himself, "Okay, you want to get rid of me with just this little thing?"

"Just wait and see, Li Zhi, I will definitely get the title of prince and establish a government office!" After saying this in his mind, Li Zhao fell into a deep sleep.

She was waiting for the day when she would have her third bathing ceremony and all the ministers would gather.

She wants to shock the government and the public on this day!

Time soon came to the third day after Li Zhao was born. Before that, many eunuchs and maids in the palace had already started to get busy because Li Zhao was about to have his third day bath.

During this period, Li Zhao did not drink a sip of water or milk, and did not even utter a single sound. Her wet nurse, Madam Zhang, tried every means to get her to breastfeed, but failed. Fearing that something might happen to her, the imperial physician practically lived in the Qisheng Temple so that he could be called at any time.

Li Zhi, Wu Meiniang, Li Hong, Li Xian, Li Xian and Li Dan had all come several times and were even more shocked to see that Li Zhao was so healthy without eating or drinking. They treated Li Zhao even more carefully and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Before the third day bath, Wu Meiniang got up early, burned incense and bathed under the surprised gaze of the female officials around her, and personally went to hug her daughter Li Zhao.

When Wu Meiniang appeared in front of Li Zhi holding the child, Li Zhi was very surprised: "Meiniang?! What are you doing?!"

Wu Meiniang's face was as rosy as a peach, and she smiled: "Your Majesty, what I am pregnant with is a reincarnated immortal god, which is naturally different from an ordinary person. Now, my body has recovered and has not been affected by the delivery."

Li Zhi still didn't believe it, so he walked over and pulled Wu Meiniang to look at it for a long time before he felt relieved: "Yes. It is true. Let's go."

During the third bathing ceremony, all the ministers gathered together. The hall was filled with pearls, jades and incense. Countless ladies and noble girls were dressed in their best clothes according to their ranks. Amidst the laughter and joy, everyone offered their most sincere blessings to the most honorable princess of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, the little princess, who was only three days old, spoke.

Qingluan: The system comes with a microphone, AI dubbing, and millions of voices. It has everything you need.

"Eight days later, Shule will collude with Tubo and invade Khotan." Li Zhao said slowly, his clear voice echoing throughout the hall.

Mrs. Zhang, who was holding her, was so frightened that her hands shook, and the baby's swaddling clothes fell into the golden basin used for the third day's bath!

At the critical moment, the Golden Dragon's body protection skill is activated!

Under the shocked gazes of the emperor, empress, ministers and ladies, the swaddling clothes actually floated above the golden basin with Li Zhao!

Li Zhao's dark pupils hid a hint of smile, and he repeated: "Eight days later, Shule will collude with Tubo and invade Khotan."

"Emperor, why don't you save your people?"

The hall fell into dead silence.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the figure floating in the air, their pupils trembling.

This third-day-christening banquet cannot go on.
