The cabinet has also discussed the issue of determining the identities of Shen Xuelin and the others, but in the end there was no conclusion.
Whether it was Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke or Lian Guo, they were all vague and put the responsibility on Feng Ziying, saying that it was a family matter of the emperor and that the emperor was independent.
But if it can be decided on its own, does it still need to be discussed by the cabinet?
Feng Ziying actually knew very well that Baochai's status was a bit weak, and it was originally inappropriate to establish a queen, but the eldest son was born to her, which was also her confidence.
However, Feng Ziying never thought that the crown prince or the prince must have a direct descendant. He told all the women about this.
His point of view is simply to establish a virtuous person, and this virtuous person must not only be recognized by himself, but also win the approval of the important ministers. Of course, the direct descendants and elders may gain a lot of bonus points in the minds of the important ministers. There is no denying this. .
On this issue, he also expressed his attitude openly and honestly to the cabinet and important ministers, which caused a lot of controversy, but Feng Ziying did not intend to change.
Even if he is born to a woman like Qingwen or Yuanyang who was born as a concubine, as long as he is really good enough and can prove that he can lead the empire forward in the days to come, Feng Ziying will not hesitate to support him.
So aside from the fact that he was the prince and heir to the throne, Baochai's background was a shortcoming and he lacked competitiveness.
The problem lies with the two daughters of Shen Lin.
Even though he had a special affection for Daiyu from the memories he brought from his previous life, and experienced the friendship during the Linqing Civil War, Feng Ziying still had to admit that Shen Yixiu was a very good wife.
No matter in every aspect, it is a model.
He has an elegant and generous personality, is calm and measured, considers problems in an orderly manner, is clear and thoughtful, and has enough patience and tolerance.
Maybe she is not as good as Baochai and Daiyu in terms of appearance, but for the status of a queen, appearance is not worth mentioning. What's more, even though Shen Yixiu is not as good as Baochai and Daiyu in appearance, she is definitely top-notch. So beautiful.
Besides, don’t you think there are too few beauties around you now? If you really want to be obsessed with beauty, even Baochai and Daiyu may not be ranked first.
Qin Keqing, Yuan Chun, Zhen Baochen, Bao Qin, Li Min and Li Qi, all of them are stunning, even Bao Qin's girl Ling Guan, her enchanting energy in the bed after breaking the melon is enough to make people fascinated, and even more Forget about women like Mei Yuexi, Guo Qinjun and Zhou Biwu.
Feelings are the most important thing. Shen Xuelin, plus Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun and Second Sister You, have an increasingly important position in his mind, including people like Yuanyang, Qingwen and Heping'er. This also made Feng Ziying feel that she had entered middle age early and was no longer as wild and dissolute as she was when she was young and frivolous.
Daiyu has always been the most special in his mind, perhaps because of the character imprinted in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, or because of the connection formed during the Linqing Civil War. In short, this specialness has always been hidden in his heart.
Moreover, she is the wife of the third wife, and the eldest wife and the second wife are both married women. The third wife is her main wife. Even if my father and mother have never mentioned this, it does not mean that they don't care.
It's difficult.
I slowly went to Fuyunxuan.
That is the small courtyard behind the West Sixth Palace, adjacent to the Jixiang Pavilion. This is the residence of the mandarin ducks.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying came to his place, and Yuanyang was also surprised. He hurried to greet him, but was pulled up by Feng Ziying and waved his hand.
Seeing Feng Ziying's tired and thoughtful look, Yuanyang could also understand the current difficulty of this gentleman.
"Your Majesty, should you rest?" He personally brought hot water for Feng Ziying to wash her feet, undressed Feng Ziying and changed into pajamas. Yuanyang helped Feng Ziying go to bed, but Feng Ziying shook her head: "Sit down for a while and talk."
Yuanyang raised his eyebrows, but could only nod.
Holding the mandarin duck's catkin, Feng Ziying leaned on the back of the chair, half-closed her eyes, and the room was silent.
"Yuanyang, it's your turn to open up the topic. I'm waiting for you to talk about things in the palace to relieve your fatigue." Feng Ziying said again when Yuanyang remained silent.
"What do you want to hear, Your Majesty? This palace is too big. I have just arrived and I am not familiar with it. I can only go to the sisters I know well..." Yuanyang paused and blinked.
"It's hard for them to go over there right now. The atmosphere in the palace is a bit weird now. They all feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, but they don't know how to break this deadlock."
"You mean everyone is blaming me?" Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, "I don't want to be like this, but..."
"It doesn't matter what your Majesty decides. I suggest you decide it early. Otherwise, if this situation drags on, everyone will really fall out. You don't need to explain anything to everyone. They can also feel it.
Even if you don't understand your affection for them or feel uncomfortable for a while, you will slowly understand it over time. Besides, it is better than delaying it like this, which will only hurt everyone's feelings, and
The more this goes on, the more hurt some people will get, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and..."
Yuanyang's words shocked Feng Ziying, nodded slightly, and then asked: "And what?"
Yuanyang hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "Actually, Miss Bao and Miss Lin may not be as fussy as the Emperor feared, especially Miss Lin. She actually cares more about your feelings for her, Your Majesty, so..."
Feng Ziying finally breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it was because she cared so much that they all started to care too.
I had never thought of this before, and no one had much expectations. On the contrary, now that we have reached this stage, everyone has become more sensitive.
"Thank you Yuanyang, it's up to you to wake me up in my dream with just one word." Feng Ziying pursed her lips and nodded, feeling enlightened.
"Your Majesty, it's great for us to have a happy family as a family. I hope that this scene can continue forever. I believe that this is the case for Grandma Shen and Miss Bao Lin. We will live together in this palace for decades.
, If you really want to feel that cold and cold, then it’s really better not to enter this palace..."
Yuanyang spoke straightforwardly, especially when Feng Ziying chose to rest at her place at this time. She must have wanted to get a word from her, so she simply spoke clearly.
"It's true that I'm too narrow-minded." Feng Ziying held Yuanyang's hand and nodded heavily, "I understand."
On the first day of the first lunar month of the second year of Daguan, at the court meeting, Feng Ziying announced that the three palaces would be established side by side. Shen Yixiu would be the main palace, Xue Baochai would be the east palace, and Lin Daiyu would be the west palace. They would be treated equally without distinction. At the same time, the three palaces would be Changchun Palace and Yongshou Palace. In Jingren Palace, as for the crown prince, the emperor will submit it to the cabinet at the appropriate time for selection and recommendation of the prince, and it will be determined by the meeting of important ministers.
