Chapter 703 Intensifying Conflicts
Xiao Ce glanced at Wu Xirou and said, "I hope so."
Although he didn't know whether Qin Zhao and his mother could live in peace in the future, he knew that Qin Zhao had been giving in, which was unfair to Qin Zhao.
After he ascended the throne, Qin Zhao lived in the palace with no name and no status, always causing criticism, and now he is even publicly humiliated by his mother.
How important is reputation to a woman? No matter how open-minded a woman is, she cannot be framed casually.
But King An...
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." At this time, Wu Xirou said again.
"you say."
With Xiao Ce's permission, Wu Xirou said: "I thought this matter today will make Sister Qin somewhat uncomfortable. After all, people's words are scary. No matter how reasonable a woman is, she will not take this kind of thing lightly. Your Majesty should be more careful.
It’s for Sister Qin’s consideration.”
Xiao Ce was a little surprised that Wu Xirou thought so deeply. He thought Wu Xirou was estranged from Qin Zhao, but he didn't expect Wu Xirou to think about him together.
"The Emperor still needs to handle the conflict between the Queen Mother and Sister Qin. Otherwise, if the conflict intensifies and makes Sister Qin feel cold one day, the Emperor will regret it." Wu Xirou added.
Xiao Ce nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. So in your opinion, what should I do?"
"Since the emperor ascended the throne, Sister Qin has not been canonized, which is always criticized. Maybe the emperor can think of a way to give my sister a title. Of course, it would be best if the Queen Mother could agree to this." It seemed that he felt that he said it.
Too much: "It's my concubine who has exceeded the rules. The affairs of the harem should not be something that I can comment on."
"Let me think about it." Xiao Ce found that Wu Xirou was thinking about him again, so he added: "Your suggestion is very good."
After that, the imperial team went to Jinyang Palace.
When Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce coming, he ordered Baoyu to pass on the meal.
"What is the emperor thinking about?" Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce looking at him with straight eyes, wondering what was on his mind.
Xiao Ce lowered his head and took a bite of the food, then asked casually, "Is there anything in particular you want?"
Such as status, such as some things he can give...
Qin Zhao pretended to think for a while, looking a little troubled: "I seem to be lacking everything, but it would be great if I could have a child. But, I also know that this kind of thing is not something I can have if I want it."
Then she chuckled: "Anyway, I feel that I already have a lot of things that others don't have, and now I am very content and happy, really."
Xiao Ce looked at her bright smile and his heart warmed: "We will have children in the future."
"I think so too. Maybe it was because I had a somewhat unsatisfactory life in the first half of my life, and then God sent the emperor to me." Qin Zhao approached Xiao Ce and quickly kissed him on the face: "From the moment I saw the emperor,
From the first moment, I felt that the Emperor was an angel sent to me by God."
This man gave her, a cannon fodder, the right to live, and he was of great significance.
Xiao Ce was touched in his heart, "Then do you have anything else you particularly want? If I can get it, I will definitely give it to you."
Qin Zhao was happy when he heard this: "Then what if I want something that the emperor can't get?"
The corners of Xiao Ce's lips rose: "You are not an unreasonable woman."
She won't make unreasonable demands on him either.
The world's evaluation of her is biased. They say she is vicious and arrogant, but this has never been her temperament.
"Women just like to make trouble unreasonably, and I just want something that the emperor can't get. What's going on, will the emperor give it to me?" Qin Zhao chuckled.
Xiao Ce thought seriously for a moment before saying, "I will try my best to satisfy you."
Qin Zhao felt happy to hear this. No matter the result, at least he was willing to work hard for it. What she cared about was the process.
"Then I have everything, including the emperor, glory and wealth. I don't need anything. I have got enough. The rest depends on how much God favors me. If it is willing to give me other things, I will be happy.
Accept." Qin Zhao muttered in her heart, she still hoped to have a child belonging to her and Xiao Ce.
Hope that day will come.
Xiao Ce remembered what Wu Xirou said, and he also felt that Qin Zhao should be given a title, but he still had to tell his mother about it.
Xiao Ce stayed overnight at Jinyang Palace that night. After attending the morning court the next day, he went to Cihe Palace to pay his respects.
"Today, I have something else I want to discuss with the Empress Dowager." After paying his respects, Xiao Ce mentioned business matters to the Empress Dowager Guo.
When Empress Dowager Guo saw Xiao Ce coming to greet her, she was in a good mood: "If you have anything to say, the emperor, just tell me."
"I want to canonize Qin Zhao." Xiao Ce said seriously without mincing words.
The smile on Queen Mother Guo's face disappeared, and she thought for a moment that she had misheard: "What did you say?!"
"Qin Zhao was a good concubine before I ascended the throne. There is no reason for her to live in the palace with no name or status after I ascend the throne. This is inconsistent with etiquette." Xiao Ce said slowly.
He originally wanted to discuss the matter with the Queen Mother yesterday, but yesterday was the Queen Mother's birthday, so he postponed the matter until today to discuss it with the Queen Mother.
"Don't forget that the late emperor had a legacy and Qin Zhao could not be canonized. Do you think the emperor wants to ignore the legacy of the past emperor?!" Empress Dowager Guo said with a cold expression.
She really didn’t understand what kind of evil possessed Xiao Ce, and why it had to be Qin Zhao. There was never a shortage of young and beautiful women in the harem, so why couldn’t Xiao Ce’s horizons be broader and he had to limit his sights to Qin Zhao?
"Although my father has a legacy, I still think that the talents around me are the most important. Qin Zhao is very good, there is no reason for him to be treated badly by me..."
"This matter ends here, and the Ai family does not agree. If the emperor wants to be canonized, he can consider the promotion of other concubines in the harem, but Qin Zhao cannot do it. The Ai family cannot go against the will of the late emperor, and neither can you, emperor.
!" Queen Mother Guo interrupted Xiao Ce with an impatient tone.
Xiao Ce frowned: "If I have made up my mind, my mother cannot change Qin Zhao's canonization."
The reason why he came to discuss this matter with his mother was because he hoped to get her approval for this matter.
"The emperor wants to ignore the late emperor's edict for the sake of a woman. How will the world see the emperor?!" Empress Dowager Guo turned livid with anger: "The emperor should put the overall situation first and never do anything stupid for a woman.
Become the laughingstock of the world!"
Xiao Ce had thought that Queen Mother Guo would reject this matter, but Queen Mother Guo's attitude still surprised him: "What on earth did Qin Zhao do to make the queen mother hate him so much? I thought that among all the women in the harem, Qin Zhao was the most sensible.
She is also the most sensible, she is good at everything, why doesn’t the Queen Mother like her?"
Empress Dowager Guo said sternly: "The emperor has thought too much. The Ai family has no likes or dislikes for Qin Zhao. But the emperor's last edict is here, so the emperor cannot canonize Qin Zhao. Come back, the Ai family is tired and wants to take a rest."
Son."
——
It's the last day of the Year of the Ox. All bad things are over. Happy New Year's Eve, dear ones.
