C133 The Marriage of the Grand Princess
The emperor slowly opened his mouth and said, "Yue'er, you must understand that if it wasn't for Ye Tian, your cold deficiency syndrome wouldn't have been treated well. He is Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order, and is in charge of various affairs such as Imperial Household Department, big and small. From this point of view, he is someone who has rendered meritorious service to the royal family. "
After pausing for a while, the Emperor continued, "He created yet another Pulley Type Steel Crossbow and heavily injured the People of Oca. He has saved the lives of countless Beilao Pass warriors and from this, he is also someone who has rendered meritorious service to the nation."
The emperor frowned and looked at Chu Yue seriously, saying, "Yue Er, a person who is of service to the royal family and the country, why aren't you willing to marry him?"
Chu Yue covered her mouth as she smiled and said, "Royal Father, when did you hear that I wasn't willing to marry?"
The emperor was stunned. He raised his hand and pointed at Chu Yue as he said, "Does that mean you're willing to do so?"
Chu Yue smiled as she said, "This son of mine wants to invite Royal Father to make the selection as soon as possible. I need to arrange this marriage for this son of mine as soon as possible."
Hearing Chu Yue's words, the Emperor laughed loudly once again and said, "Alright, I'll make the engagement for you as soon as possible."
At this moment, Qin Ruhua opened his mouth and said: "Wait."
The emperor and Chu Yue turned their heads at the same time and looked at Qin Ruhua.
Qin Ruhua said: "A few days ago, Ye Tian here to treat Eldest Imperial Princess's deficiency cold disease, the emperor did agree to the marriage matter. However, it remained to be seen whether Eldest Imperial Princess had recovered from her cold syndrome and whether she was a normal person or not. "Eldest Imperial Princess's marriage is not just a matter of the royal family, it is also a matter of the nation's affairs. We must not be careless."
The emperor nodded and said, "Ruhua's words are reasonable. What should we do to verify that the cold deficiency within Yue'er's body has been completely eliminated?"
Qin Ruhua said, "This subject dares to test it out and find out."
The emperor frowned slightly. He was aware of Qin Ruhua's power as a mage.
At this moment, the emperor opened his mouth and said, "When the order is given, it is enough. You must not harm Yue'er."
"This subject knows his limits."
After saying that, Qin Ruhua's right hand slightly moved. With Chu Yue as the center, the temperature of the air within a radius of a few feet started to decrease rapidly.
While releasing his magic, Qin Ruhua said, "Xudong syndrome, as its name implies, is the most afraid of cold. There were many medicine ingredients and medicine that provided warmth to the sun in the world. However, most of them could only form an appearance for a short period of time and could not truly eradicate the cold. Once they encountered real cold energy, the virtual cold would erupt again, and no one could escape. "By using a cold method, the Old Man can test if Eldest Imperial Princess's deficiency of cold is really absent."
With Qin Ruhua's words, the air around Chu Yue gradually became filled with ice shards and snow.
The emperor and Lin Chengzhou, who were about ten feet away, could feel the chilliness emitted from Chu Yue's body.
However, the Emperor's heart that had just been raised slightly calmed down once again. That was because Chu Yue was still smiling as if nothing had happened, as if the surrounding cold air, ice shards, and snow had no effect on her.
Seeing that Chu Yue seemed unaffected, Qin Ruhua squinted his eyes slightly. His arm shook slightly and a bone-piercing chill attacked Chu Yue's back. Once this chilliness entered Chu Yue's body, even if the chilliness in her body did not go into effect, it would still cause her entire body to tremble. It was just like when chilliness broke out in her body.
Qin Ruhua's wishful thinking caused Chu Yue to show signs of virtual cold, which broke the healing effect of Ye Tian, preventing the emperor from identifying Ye Tian as Eldest Imperial Princess's consort.
Although Chu Yue was smiling, she was secretly feeling sorry for herself. She had never known that Qin Ruhua was at the level of Advanced Devil Spirit Master of the Ice Wind Division. It was truly surprising. However, as the Minister of Government, he had used such despicable methods to achieve his goal.
With a faint smile, Chu Yue's slender fingers unnoticeably trembled, and a colorless and transparent wave formed from fire instantly spread out from her body.
Within an extremely short period of time, the fire elemental energy waves had already repelled the cold air, ice shards, and snow from Chu Yue's body. Without slowing down, it struck Qin Ruhua's body once again.
Qin Ruhua grunted and immediately stopped his ice magic. He took a step back and stood on the ground. She stared at Chu Yue in shock and didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing that Qin Ruhua had withdrawn his spell, the Emperor asked, "Ruhua, how is it?"
Qin Ruhua's throat moved slightly as he said in a hoarse voice, "This subject has already investigated Eldest Imperial Princess's body and found out that her deficiency of cold has been completely eradicated. This subject congratulates Eldest Imperial Princess for regaining her healthy body."
Hearing Qin Ruhua's words, Lin Chengzhou slightly frowned and glanced at Qin Ruhua.
When Chu Yue walked into the Imperial Study, Lin Chengzhou noticed that Chu Yue was completely different from usual. Not only did that sickly look disappear, it was replaced by an energetic look.
However, Lin Chengzhou did not believe that Ye Tian could really cure Chu Yue's chilliness. How could Ye Tian do something that could not be done by any physician in the empire? In Lin Chengzhou's eyes, Ye Tian was not that amazing. At this moment, Lin Chengzhou was only certain that Ye Tian had used some kind of evil secret technique to stop Chu Yue's chilliness from acting up for a short period of time.
Now that Eldest Imperial Princess Chu Yue had recovered, Princess Chu Yu would no longer be able to ascend to the throne. Now that the emperor had betrothed Chu Yue to Ye Tian, Ye Tian's position as Prince Consort could not be any more stable.
At this moment, Lin Chengzhou couldn't understand why Qin Ruhua would speak up for Ye Tian.
The emperor laughed again and said, "Ruhua, Cheng Zhou, both of you are here. I will betroth Yue Er and Yu to Ye Tian. Do you two have any objections?"
After a moment of silence, Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou looked at each other. The two of them could not find any other reason to object and could only nod their heads.
The emperor slapped the table and said, "Men, declare the decree. Choose the day as soon as possible using your Ministry of Rites Administration. We are going to make an engagement for your two daughters."
In front of the desk, Chu Yue smiled shyly, then glanced at Qin Ruhua, who had a bitter face. She thought to herself, "Although it's just a little internal injury, it's enough for you to recuperate for three months."
Tianyuan, year 215, 28th of January. The first set of Royal Central Bank in the capital opened.
As it was an estate owned by the imperial family, not only did the officials and generals of both academies attend the opening ceremony, even the imperial concubines of the imperial harem showed themselves at the scene.
Chu Yue and Chu Yu were also representing the Royal Family in the ribbon cutting ceremony. This ribbon cutting ceremony originally did not exist in Tiangong Empire, but Ye Tian had forcefully planned out this program and project.
The ribbon cutting ceremony had aroused the curiosity of the surrounding merchants and commoners. Especially when a pair of princess sisters cut off the ribbon and announced that the Royal Bank was officially opened for the guests with scissors in hand, the citizens who were surrounding the street so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through, their emotions reached a climax.
Cheers rose one after another, gaining an unprecedented momentum for the Royal Bank.
This was exactly what Ye Tian wanted.
This opening ceremony was not only based on Ye Tian's experiences from his previous life, but also on Denean's advice and suggestions.
At this moment, Chu Yue and Chu Yu had finished cutting the ribbon and retreated to the backstage. Two people stood by the side of a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man wore a purplish-blue vest and a light yellow robe. His bright eyes shot out in all directions as he smilingly looked at the crowded streets in front of him.
This middle-aged man was the Emperor of Tiangong Empire, Chu Hong.
The emperor was going to appear at the opening ceremony of Royal Bank, but there were already a lot of royal members and court generals who came to attend. Secondly, considering the safety of the city, the day of the ceremony would definitely be packed with people. If there were rebels or enemy spies within, it would be really hard to guard against them. Thus, under the suggestion of all the ministers, the emperor chose to attend the opening ceremony of Royal Bank through private interviews.
Moreover, according to the emperor's plan, he would take advantage of this rare opportunity to leave the palace under the guise of a microcosm. After participating in the opening ceremony of Royal Bank, the emperor would wander around the capital to take a look at the living conditions of the citizens and experience the affairs of the world within the streets of the capital.
The commoners had never seen a real dragon's face before, so they didn't know that the middle-aged man standing high up in the backstage was the Son of Heaven. Although some people had noticed that a pair of princesses were standing by the side of the middle-aged man, they were only speculating that this was definitely a highly respected royal relative. That was all.
Only a skinny, black-faced monk stood at the very back of the crowd. His bright eyes were fixed on the emperor who was standing between Chu Yue and Chu Yu.
After staring at it for a while, the monk turned around and walked into the alley.
At this moment, Ye Tian nodded at Denean.
Denean laughed and said loudly, "Today, Royal Bank issued the royal family's bonds for the first time. There are a total of three kinds of bonds, with the three-year rate being 0.5%, with the five-year rate being 10%, and the 10-year rate being 1.5%. The first time the bonds were issued, they were sold for only 10,000 pieces, each worth a hundred taels of silver. For the guarantee of the royal family's reputation, the capital is the same as it is now. The interest will be paid monthly and there will be no falsehood. "
Hearing Denean's simple introduction, the surrounding commoners, especially those merchants who had money on hand, started shouting loudly.
"I want to buy five."
"I'll buy ten."
"I'll buy twenty."
"..."
Following Denean's instructions, a long line of people lined up at the registration office. Needless to say, the merchants took out their banknotes and immediately ordered their numbers. As for the normal citizens, they left the scene in a hurry to collect money from their relatives and friends.
Looking at the long line in front of the registration office, Ye Tian couldn't even close his mouth while smiling.
After the momentum had been built up, the crowd was seething with excitement. The queue to buy the bonds was already more than a hundred feet away. Basically, the purpose of the opening ceremony had already been achieved.1
