In the next few days, when the ministers went to court, they found that the emperor seemed to be a different person. He was particularly strict. The ministers felt that going to court was like being executed.
The most terrifying feeling is that as long as there is a slight mistake, the emperor will magnify it infinitely and impose the most severe punishment.
All the ministers were trembling with fear. Except for the rest period, the most feared thing every day was going to court.
They originally thought that Xiao Ce was difficult to deal with before, but now they hope that Xiao Ce can go back to the past. At least the Xiao Ce before was kinder than he is now...
Xiao Linzi also told Qin Zhao some things about the previous dynasty.
This was within Qin Zhao's expectation.
In the previous life, from the front court to the harem, who was not trembling with fear when seeing Xiao Ce, and her legs were weak? She was probably the only one who was not afraid of death, and she dared to seduce Xiao Ce, and finally slept with Xiao Ce.
Now that I think about it, it’s true that the ignorant are fearless.
Xiao Ce has not appeared in Jinyang Palace recently, so Qin Zhao lives quietly in Jinyang Palace.
In the blink of an eye, it was March 11th. Qin Zhao was still sleeping in. Baozhu suddenly ran over and shook her awake: "My dear, something big has happened!"
Qin Zhao was sleepy and struggled to get up: "What's the matter?"
No, Bao Zhu said something big happened, and the little sleepiness she had was swept away: "What big thing happened?!"
"The Emperor suddenly conferred the title of Crown Prince on His Highness today when he went to court!" Baozhu said with great interest.
Qin Zhao was stunned: "So fast?"
In February, she probably understood that Xiao Ce wanted to make Xiao Atom the crown prince, but she thought it would not be so soon.
"This slave was shocked when she heard the news." Baozhu patted his chest, but his face was full of joy.
Now it seems that the imperial concubine's status will be even more noble in the future. After all, she is the biological mother of the prince, and it is no problem to walk around in this harem.
"Is there no objection in the court?" Qin Zhao was a little confused.
"This... this slave doesn't know." Baozhu thought for a while and then said: "They have all been canonized. Even if someone objects, it can't change this result."
Xiao Linzi also hurried in at this time and told Qin Zhao in detail about the scene of going to court.
The moment the imperial edict was issued, there was a dead silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but no one dared to come out to object, because everyone had been frightened by Xiao Ce in recent days.
In the end, it was Zhao Yu who was the first to stand up and express his position.
Zhao Yu is a cabinet minister, and his attitude naturally represents some of the cabinet's attitudes.
In fact, none of the cabinet ministers except Zhao Yu wanted to establish the crown prince so soon, because the candidate for the queen had not yet been decided. However, with Zhao Yu's interference, and everyone's fear of Xiao Ce as the emperor, no one dared to stand up.
be opposed to.
Later, Xiao Ce called Mr. Liang Ge's name and asked Mr. Liang Ge to express his opinion. This time, Mr. Liang did not hesitate and directly gave three words: "I second my opinion!"
As soon as Mr. Liang Ge came out, he represented the opinions of the entire cabinet.
The cabinet members are all close ministers of the emperor, and their opinions represent the views of a large part of the officials.
Then all the ministers expressed their opinions, and Xiao Atom easily won the position of crown prince.
It can only be said that whether an emperor succeeds depends on whether his ministers dare to oppose his wishes.
Now Xiao Ce represents the absolute authority of the emperor, and no one dares to easily refute his decision. Xiao Ce dared to directly announce the imperial edict of establishing a prince in the court without even informing the cabinet ministers, which shows Xiao Ce's absolute self-confidence.
Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly washed and changed clothes, and then went to report the good news to his son.
If it were an ordinary child under two years old, he would definitely not know what it means to be crowned a prince.
But Xiao Atom was born as a human spirit, so he naturally understood what it meant to be crown prince.
The little guy only asked Qin Zhao: "Are you happy if your son is established as the crown prince?"
Qin Zhao looked at such a young child asking himself such a serious question, and couldn't help but smile: "Of course. My son is promising, how can his mother be unhappy?"
"Then my son is happy too." Xiao Atom replied maturely.
Qin Zhao kissed the child's head and wondered whether he should take Little Atom to the Hall of Nourishing Heart to express his gratitude.
The thought just passed through her mind, and she did nothing in the end.
However, many concubines came to congratulate after hearing the news.
After Huang Xianmeng left the palace some time ago, everyone almost accepted their fate and felt that Qin Zhao was destined to be the only one in the harem.
Now Qin Zhao's son has been established as the crown prince, which means that even if Xiao Ce dies, Qin Zhao's son will become the emperor. Qin Zhao is undoubtedly the biggest winner in the harem. This is a fact that no one can change.
Instead of going against Qin Zhao and losing his life in the end, it is better to surrender to Qin Zhao and at least live a peaceful life in this harem.
This time, everyone was more sincere, and fewer people were unwilling. After all, many people had accepted their fate.
Qin Zhao welcomed batch after batch of charming guests, and lunch was a little later than usual.
Because they knew that Qin Zhao had the habit of taking a nap, everyone would not be ignorant and chose to come over when Qin Zhao was taking a nap.
In the evening, Wu Xirou came.
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince for becoming the Crown Prince." Wu Xirou said, looked at the room, and asked: "Will the Emperor come to Jinyang Palace today?"
When Qin Zhao heard this, he looked at Wu Xirou. Wu Xirou seemed to know what she was thinking, and said directly: "This is what I will do in my life anyway. The emperor must not like me, but since I am in this palace, if I have the chance to see the emperor once in a while,
, life is not that difficult.”
To sum it up in one sentence, congratulating the little prince is fake, but coming to see Xiao Ce is real.
Qin Zhao remained silent and said nothing.
"Are sister and the emperor vomiting?" Wu Xirou asked again.
Qin Zhao glanced at her and opened his lips calmly: "Why do you have such a question?"
"The emperor used to come to see my sister whenever he had free time, but recently he has not stayed at Jinyang Palace or seen his sister. This phenomenon is a bit abnormal." Wu Xirou said bluntly.
She is not afraid to let Qin Zhao know that although she will never get a dragon pet in the future, she can't help but pay attention to Xiao Ce's movements.
In fact, this is fine.
In the past, she always dreamed of being able to sleep with her, but now she has to settle for the next best thing. She would be happy for a long time if she could see Xiao Ci once in a while. It was a good thing to think about.
Qin Zhao looked at Wu Xirou with complicated eyes, feeling that Wu Xirou like this was different from the heroine she imagined.
"Did sister really quarrel with the emperor?" Wu Xirou asked again.
"I can't quarrel with him." Qin Zhao's voice was light.
As for Xiao Ce's cold demeanor, even her enthusiasm in the previous life could not melt his ice. At most, she would scold her a few times when she was impatient, or teach her how to behave in the world.
She felt that Xiao Ce in his previous life treated her more like an elder who hated iron but failed to make steel, right?
