The second daughter Yun Xiyao was once the emperor's favorite. Now she has the support of many ministers including the Yuwen family. However, she once lost Dongfang Chen's favor because of her repeated mistakes. Yun Shangren is not sure whether she can regain Dongfang Chen's favor.
Doting on her, will the Yuwen family never change their mind again?
The eldest daughter Yun Jingshu was once the emperor's most capable assistant and had many supporters secretly and openly. However, she is now a crazy person. Although he doubts that she is really crazy, but if she is really crazy,
Well, so what if I sit on the throne of queen? It will not bring the greatest benefits to the Yun family.
Therefore, he must be cautious. If he accidentally chooses the wrong one, the Yun family will really miss an opportunity to enjoy eternal honor.
After thinking awkwardly for a long time, Yun Shangren bowed and said: "I believe that the emperor will make the most correct choice."
Dongfang Chen's mouth showed an expression that was half a smile, and he looked at Yun Shangren. His expression was unclear whether he was happy or angry, and he said lightly: "Really? Since even Yun Aiqing can't make a decision, it's better to slow down the matter.
That's good. When I make a decision, I will inform you all."
In the court, news of the post-election progress quickly reached the harem.
Xianren Palace.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this time, it must be you. Your family background, qualifications are not inferior to others, and you have not made any mistakes." Yong Huan, the female official next to Concubine Dong Xian, said with a happy face.
"Yes, your Majesty, I would like to congratulate you first." Yong Le also agreed happily.
However, there was no joy on Concubine Dong Xian's face. Her eyes were looking forward quietly, with unknown emotions surging inside. After a long time, Concubine Dong Xian said: "Bring the Four Treasures of the Study."
Yong Huan and Yong Le thought that Concubine Dong Xian was finally going to take action, so they agreed and went to get the Four Treasures of the Study happily.
Concubine Dong Xian dismissed everyone around her and started writing letters. She continued writing until the afternoon and missed lunch time before she finished writing them all.
After putting all the letters into envelopes and sealing them, he called Yong Huan and Yong Le in and ordered them to send the letters secretly.
After doing all this, Concubine Dong Xian locked herself in the room for the whole afternoon. In the evening, she went to the imperial study to ask for Dongfang Chen in person. The two had a secret talk over a cup of tea before Concubine Dong Xian left.
As for what was discussed, even An Fuhai didn't know.
The next day, morning.
To everyone's surprise, when post-election matters were discussed again, all those who supported Concubine Dong Xian yesterday changed their direction and supported Yun Jingshu.
As a result, the number of people supporting Yun Xiyao is about the same as that of Yun Jingshu.
"I also support the re-establishment of Mrs. Jingshu as queen." Suddenly, a calm and powerful voice came. Everyone looked in surprise and found that the speaker turned out to be Duke Ning Guo, who had not come to the morning court for a long time.
As soon as Ning Guogong said this, many people who were in a wait-and-see state or who were temporarily pulled to other camps also expressed their support for Yun Jingshu.
Soon, 40% of the people in the court supported Yun Jingshu. Yun Shangren's eyes flashed slightly, and he determined his direction in his heart.
Dongfang Chen didn't seem to be at all surprised by the current situation. He had been listening calmly to the speeches of the civil and military officials. Finally, after everyone had finished expressing their opinions, he slowly spoke: "Since Madam Jingshu is the one everyone expects, I don't have any other opinions."
, Liu Shangshu, prepare for the ceremony of sealing the queen. The ceremony will be officially held on the first day of next month."
Liu Yanxing, the Minister of Rites, took a step forward and respectfully replied: "I obey the order!"
When the news reached Xianren Palace, Yong Huan and Yong Le were a little trepidatious, but they saw a touch of joy on Concubine Dong Xian's face, got up, and walked out...
