348. Chapter 348 Dowager Wang Proposes to Draft a Girl
His words seemed to be meant for the Princess to hear, and her expression changed slightly after hearing what he said.
An unnatural smile appeared from the corner of her lips, and she was extremely stiff, "Of course, there is someone in the court who dares to collude with foreign parties, how can we let him off lightly."
"My mother-in-law is absolutely right."
Nangong Shuo curled his lips and nodded to Princess Wang.
"Hehe, hehe, okay, okay, we, mother and son, just have a simple meal, and we won't talk about the tedious things in court."
After that, he invited Nangong Shuo to have a meal. Everyone was eating with their own purposes. Just after the meal was halfway through, they heard Wang Taifei speak again:
"Your Majesty, you have passed the age of weakness. It is time for you to think carefully about the issue of the imperial heir."
Seeing that Princess Wang suddenly mentioned this, Nangong Shuo's eyes suddenly darkened, but he did not speak.
On the other hand, Wang Lin, who had been obediently pouring wine for Nangong Shuo, her eyes widened again when she heard Wang Taifei mention the issue of the emperor's heir.
She has been in the palace as a concubine for a long time, but the emperor has never touched her once.
If the person she placed in Zhengyang Palace had not told her that the emperor had not spent the night in Zhengyang Palace, she would have been really anxious.
Sometimes, she was really worried that the rumors in the court were true and that the emperor had some "special relationship" with the prime minister, so she couldn't react to women.
Now that her aunt mentioned it, she was naturally happy and wanted to know what the emperor was thinking.
"Mother and concubine, my son is still young, the emperor is just not in a hurry."
"What the emperor said, your father and mother entrusted you to the Ai family before they died, didn't they hope that the Ai family would take good care of you? Now that you are the king of a country, it is time for me to have an heir to the royal family."
Speaking of this, she paused, glanced at Wang Lin, and then smiled: "It's just that the emperor now only has the queen and the concubine, and the harem is indeed a little short. If the emperor is not satisfied with them,
How about the Ai family ask the Ministry of Rites to find a group of beautiful girls to enter the palace and let the prince choose?"
Wang Taifei's suggestion shocked Wang Lin.
Is this aunt old and confused? Having Shangguan Yu here was enough to give her a headache, but now she actually asked the emperor to draft girls.
Does she think she's not tired enough to deal with it?
"aunt......"
She was so anxious that she was about to say something, but was interrupted by the princess's cold look.
At this time, the princess's proposal also made Nangong Shuo frown, but the word "queen" she mentioned easily grabbed Nangong Shuo's heart.
Your Majesty, as an emperor, you should have no heart. Your heart belongs to the people of the world...
He thought of Shangguan Yu's words, every word of which was so sharp and struck the vital point in his heart so accurately.
His hand holding the wine glass inadvertently squeezed it tightly, almost crushing the wine glass.
At this time, his face looked very ugly, and he remained sullen and silent.
Xiaoyu, I can’t help but...
In his heart, he kept holding back, enduring everything, enduring the pain of wanting to love but not being able to love.
"What do you think of the Ai family's proposal?"
The princess's voice sounded again at the dinner table, and at the same time, Nangong Shuo was temporarily freed from his painful contradiction.
He put down the wine glass, raised his eyes and slightly curled his lips at the princess, and said: "Let the mother-in-law make the decision in everything."
