"I know that Princess Yulian is not short of gold and silver," Empress Shi looked at Xuanyuan Xinglie and said, "Your Majesty, I want to accept Princess Lian as my adopted daughter. This will satisfy my desire for a daughter.
"Secondly, Princess Yulian has worked hard and achieved great results, so she should be made a princess..."
"Queen mother, you must not!" Xuanyuan Aotian interrupted Queen Shi. Queen Shi accepted Ye Xue as her adopted daughter, and he and Ye Xue were brothers and sisters!
Ye Xue also stood up and said: "I thank the Queen for her love, but I have received the emperor's favor. The Queen accepts me as a righteous daughter and confers me as a princess. I will never agree to this!"
Ye Xue is not stupid. She can think of anything Su Yinhu can think of, but she doesn't care about those rewards. But now she absolutely cannot agree to what Empress Shi says.
Hearing Xuanyuan Aotian's anxious interruption and Ye Xue's refusal, Empress Shi and Xuanyuan Xinglie glanced at each other, and they both saw the deepening worry in each other's eyes.
Ye Xue's verbal refusal made Empress Shi feel a little embarrassed. However, Empress Shi knew that if she forced Ye Xue to be her adopted daughter, Master Ye Xue would probably be dissatisfied and would also be resented by Xuanyuan Aotian.
Empress Shi was about to interrupt the topic when suddenly Xuanyuan Aotian said: "Father! Queen mother! My heart cares about Princess Yulian. I am willing to ask my father and mother to issue an edict to make Princess Yulian the crown prince."
Hearing this, Empress Shi and Xuanyuan Xinglie were startled for a moment. After the officials and ladies in the palace were discussing what Xuanyuan Aotian said, they came to their senses. Empress Shi said, "Your Majesty, you are only fifteen, Yulian.
The princess is only thirteen, it is too early to say this, the Crown Princess is of great importance, and this matter will be discussed later."
Xuanyuan Xinglie said: "Play music!"
The sound of music sounded, and the retreating maikos stepped out... The music and singing interrupted what Xuanyuan Aotian wanted to say... That night, Xuanyuan Xinglie and Empress Shi returned to the harem before the banquet ended.
*****
Empress Shi said to Xuanyuan Xinglie: "Nangong Wuming is rebellious and I don't think Nangong Yexue is a good person. She is only thirteen years old and has only been in Beijing for three months, but she has already fascinated me...
"
Xuanyuan Xinglie thought about Nangong Wuming for a while, and said: "This Nangong Yexue is indeed a talent, but when she becomes the princess..."
"As long as I am around, I will never allow Aotian to mix with people named Nangong." Empress Shi gritted her teeth. She had been harmed by Nangong Shuiyao for more than ten years and could not step out of the Buddhist temple - this is not
It was like being in jail, but it was better than being in jail. If she hadn't been worried about Xuanyuan Xinglie and her two sons, she would have committed suicide long ago because she couldn't stand the loneliness and Nangong Shuiyao's torture.
Now that she is the queen, she can prevent Xuanyuan Xinglie from killing all the Nangong clan for Xuanyuan Aotian, but she will never tolerate her daughter-in-law's surname being Nangong, and she will never tolerate the future Lord of Qinglong having the blood of the Nangong clan.
...absolutely not!
**********
After the banquet, Empress Shi used various pretexts to let Xuanyuan Aotian meet many ladies of the world. Xuanyuan Aotian also noticed the true thoughts in Empress Shi's heart, and he clearly told Empress Shi that he would not marry anyone other than Ye Xue.
Hearing Xuanyuan Aotian's words, Queen Shi's face was not angry, but smiled lightly.
Empress Shi said: "You must also understand what your father and I mean... But the Qinglong Empire will be yours from now on, and the Crown Princess will also be yours..."
