Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"The ministers expressed their opinions one after another. One of them said, "I think the emperor can make him a king first. After all, the prince can discuss matters and help the emperor share state affairs." As soon as he finished speaking, the other ministers echoed him, "We second the proposal!"

After hearing the ministers' suggestions, the emperor nodded slightly to show his approval. He pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion. Then, the emperor said, "Then I'll do as you say." Then, he thought about the titles of the various princes. After some consideration, the emperor finally came up with a suitable title.

"The eldest prince is now King Kang, the second prince is now King Xuan, the third prince is now King Qi, the fourth prince is now King Xian, and the fifth prince is now King Duan." The emperor announced the title of each prince one by one.

Upon hearing these titles, the ministers nodded in praise and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!" They expressed their sincere admiration and support for the emperor's decision.

At this time, Eunuch Xi shouted loudly: "Dismiss the court!" With this order, everyone left the court in an orderly manner. The court returned to peace, with only the emperor and a few personal guards left. The emperor stood there quietly, looking deeply into the distance, as if thinking about the future of the country.

Those ministers who had just retired from court left with different thoughts, some were excited, some were worried, but they all understood that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.

"Mr. Shen, please stay. Mr. Shen, now the chance of Prince Kang becoming the crown prince is the greatest. We must congratulate Mr. Shen in advance." A middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and a smile on his face quickly caught up with the person in front and said with a bow.

The young man called Shen Xueshi stopped and turned around, showing a hint of surprise on his face, but soon regained his composure. He smiled slightly and said in return, "Master Liu, you are too polite. It is still unknown who will be the crown prince."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Shen, why are you so modest? With your talent and family background, it is only natural for King Kang to have a capable assistant like you and become the crown prince!"

Scholar Shen secretly sneered in his heart. He knew that Lord Liu wanted to please him so that he could get some benefits in the officialdom in the future. But he also understood that the officialdom was like a battlefield and he could not easily trust others. So he said lightly: "Lord Liu, you are too kind. I am just trying my best to give advice to King Kang. As for whether I can become the crown prince, it depends on your majesty's will."

Lord Liu nodded quickly and said some flattering words before saying goodbye and leaving.

Watching Lord Liu's back as he walked away, Shen Xueshi couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew that the struggle for the crown prince's position had entered a white-hot stage, and all parties were ready to make a move. As the uncle of King Kang, he had to be careful and not let anyone catch him...

Time flies, a month passed, and then there was a cry of "Ah! Ah~ It hurts!" It turned out to be Concubine Xie, the baby in her belly was anxious to come out. But it was only eight months. The imperial doctors rushed in, and the palace was filled with a tense atmosphere. Concubine Xie's moans became louder and louder, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

"My dear, push harder! The baby is about to come out!" the midwife encouraged.

The emperor paced anxiously outside the door, looking in from time to time. The queen was also beside him, her face solemn.

After several hours of hard work, the baby was finally born. However, due to premature birth, the baby was very weak and needed special care.

The imperial doctors rushed to treat the baby, hoping to save his life. The emperor walked into the room and looked at the baby in the cradle, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"He must be cured no matter what!" the emperor ordered.

When the other concubines heard the news, they came to visit hypocritically. On the surface, they were concerned about Concubine Xie and the child, but they were secretly proud in their hearts.
