Chapter 506

Changancheng.

Wang Wang Yangming had been away for a long time and finally returned to the capital.

This time he returned, Wang Wang Yangming was very low-key.

He was returning to take over the position of Minister. The previous Minister, Zhang Zhang Juzheng, had been demoted a thousand miles away because he couldn't keep himself clean and accepted beauties sent by the Great Tang.

Wang Wang Yangming hadn't even taken office yet and was particularly afraid that many officials would come to his door to send gifts.

He simply returned quietly, letting no one know.

He planned to go to court tomorrow morning and smoothly take over as the Great Qin Minister.

From then on, he would reach the pinnacle of his life.

However, the news of his return was still known to Fang Fang Xuanling and Li Er.

Since they decided last time to take the path of Wang Wang Yangming, the two had been sending people to watch the door of Wang Wang Yangming's house.

Even though Wang Wang Yangming had disguised himself and returned to his mansion quietly, his identity was still seen through by the people watching from the clues.

Fang Fang Xuanling and Li Er personally came to visit.

And their entourage even carried a huge box; who knew what was inside?

As soon as Wang Wang Yangming heard that these two had come to his door, his head swelled.

The butler handed Wang Wang Yangming a letter, on which was written.

"Everyone has seen that we, two Great Tang envoys, have come to your mansion to visit.

As the Great Qin Minister, if you refuse to see us, it will appear that you have a guilty conscience. Others will think that we came specifically to send gifts."

This note was somewhat inexplicable.

But it gave Wang Wang Yangming a very bad feeling in his heart.

"Butler, they said they were sending gifts; did you accept anything?"

"Replying to Master, they only sent a very large empty box; inside the box, there was only this letter."

A large box containing only a letter.

Damn, I've been set up by these two!

Wang Wang Yangming was both angry and amused.

To see him, these two had really gone to great pains.

They carried an empty large box into his mansion. Whether he accepted the box or threw the empty box out, he would be suspected of having accepted a gift!

It was truly a sinister strategy.

Having been played Wu Li Ke this, Wang Wang Yangming became interested in meeting these Great Tang envoys.

"Let them in, serve tea in the living room."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Wang Yangming was also a resourceful person.

Having been set up Wu Li Ke this, he couldn't just swallow this bitter pill.

He also made some arrangements in the living room.

Courtesy demands reciprocity!

Li Er and Fang Fang Xuanling had gone to great lengths to see Wang Wang Yangming.

They entered to meet Wang Wang Yangming and sat down as host and guest.

Fang Fang Xuanling spoke first.

"It was truly abrupt for the two of us to come and visit Minister Wang today.

However, we were forced by circumstances; there is an important matter we would Wu Li Ke to consult Minister Wang about."

Wang Wang Yangming remained calm, wanting to see what they really wanted to do today.

"Please speak."

They had met before when they were in Goguryeo.

They were not strangers to each other.

Fang Fang Xuanling directly stated the problem they had encountered.

"When the two of us came to the Great Qin as envoys, before we even arrived, we heard that His Majesty had just had a princess.

This princess was born to Princess Wencheng of the Great Tang, and we must send a congratulatory gift.

However, we don't know what His Majesty and Consort Xue Wu Li Ke?

For the sake of this gift-giving, Li Er and I have been worrying all night yesterday."

Wang Wang Yangming's mouth twitched, which counted as a smile.

It was just that this smile looked a bit cold.

As someone who had just returned from Goguryeo and had little contact with the Emperor, how would he know what they liked?

This question sounded ill-intentioned as soon as it was heard.

Wang Wang Yangming was not so easily fooled and immediately had a countermeasure.

"I heard that in the princess's fate, only the fire element is prosperous, so she was named Princess Ali.

Since it is a gift for the princess, a gift that matches her fate attributes would be best."

This suggestion sounded very serious.

Fang Fang Xuanling and Li Er were indeed worrying about this matter.

They both felt that Wang Wang Yangming was an honest person and the suggestion he gave was quite reliable.

"Minister Wang, do you have any specific suggestions?"

Wang Wang Yangming flashed a trace of mockery in his eyes that was almost imperceptible.

So they took the bait?

"I heard people say that Princess Princess Ali's fate is too noble, and there is even a possibility of her becoming the Great Qin's successor!

It is also because of this that until now, His Majesty has not yet granted the princess a title.

I suppose he is considering whether to establish the first female Crown Prince in history?"

"'Female Crown Prince'?"

Fang Fang Xuanling and Li Er were both stunned.

The Great Qin Emperor's actions were too unconventional, right?

Could he really do something so contrary to common sense?

The two were shocked by this news and only stared blankly, failing to realize Wang Wang Yangming's meaning for a moment.

Li Er was more concerned about this than anyone else.

He also had the trouble of establishing a successor, but he had never thought of establishing a female Crown Prince.

He asked urgently.

"Minister Wang, if that's the case, does it mean that any imperial princes born to the Great Qin Emperor in the future will have no possibility of inheriting the throne?" Wang Wang Yangming cleared his throat.

"Li Er, what you said is a bit out of line.

How can we, as ministers, discuss the Great Qin's establishment of an heir?

Moreover, you are still a foreign minister!"

Li Er lowered his head in embarrassment.

Indeed, his current status was not suitable for discussing this topic.

But he was really concerned!

If the Great Qin established a female Crown Prince, who knew what kind of upheaval it would bring to this world?

Wang Wang Yangming did not forget his ultimate goal and continued.

"You should think carefully, what kind of gift should you send to such a princess that would match her status?"

He was almost telling them explicitly what to send.

Five elements with only fire prosperous!

Female Crown Prince!

What room for consideration could there be?

Generally, one would send a Qilin for a boy and a Qingluan for a girl.

Fang Fang Xuanling asked tentatively.

"Could we send a female Qilin carved from red agate?"
