As the sky grew dark, Ran Yunhao left the palace and walked straight to a restaurant in the south of the city alone.
After arriving at the destination, Ran Yunhao went straight to the second floor and entered a room. Looking at the people who had already arrived in the room, Ran Yunhao nodded lightly and greeted them.
"Why do you have to come so far for something so important?" Ran Yunhao sat down at the table, looked at Ran Yunchou and Ran Hongjin opposite, and asked in a low voice.
"The three of us brothers haven't gotten together for a long time, so I thought of asking you to come out and chat." Ran Hongjin looked at Ran Yunhao calmly and said.
"Sit down and say, I have news to tell you two." Compared with Ran Hongjin, Ran Yunchou's expression was quite nervous. He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, then drank it all. Ran Yunchou looked in front of him.
The two of them glanced at each other and said in a low voice: "I heard that the ministers are planning to embarrass the emperor at the court tomorrow morning and let the emperor make a decision on the establishment of a queen."
"Is the information accurate?" Ran Yunhao frowned and became interested in Ran Yunchou's words.
"It's not wrong. They have been discussing it for many days. Some people even sent people to the house to find me and mentioned this matter. I see what they mean. Most likely, they have already decided on the candidate and are just waiting for the emperor to come down.
It's done." Ran Yunchou looked at Ran Yunhao with twinkling eyes and asked, "How sure do you think this is?"
"It's difficult." Ran Hongjin shook her head and said.
"Yes, it is indeed difficult." Ran Yunhao nodded in agreement, glanced at Ran Hongjin, and said: "If the emperor wanted to establish a queen, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? It's best for you two to do this tomorrow
Don't open your mouth. No matter what you have promised to anyone before, don't open your mouth. At this time, when you get into trouble, no one can save anyone."
"Brother Ninth, why do you think the emperor has been dragging this matter out for so long?" Ran Hongjin changed the subject and asked.
After hearing Ran Hongjin's words, Ran Yunhao smiled softly. Looking at him sideways, Ran Yunhao raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Don't you all know this matter by heart? The emperor has only thought about having one person as his queen for so many years, no matter how many outsiders there are,
It’s no use whatever you say.”
Ran Yunhao said something to the other two people. The three of them had a meal in a daze, discussed the matter in a low voice, and then returned to their respective homes, waiting for the show to take place the next day.
Ran Yunhao had always thought that Ran Yunpo would at most deal with these ministers on the issue of establishing a queen, and would never fall out with them. But what happened today took Ran Yunhao by surprise.
In the silent hall, a depressing atmosphere silently surrounded everyone. Ran Yunhao looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with his peripheral vision, and then looked at Ran Yunpo with a gloomy face on the dragon chair, and felt something in his heart.
A feeling that something bad is going on.
These people dare to be so bold today. Are they really worried about the emperor, or is there someone behind them who is encouraging them to support them? If so, who could this person be, the Queen Mother?
"If I don't agree to you, you will never be able to kneel down, right?" Ran Yunpo said coldly, looking at the few people who bowed their heads in silence, and smiled slightly. "Since you are the only ones who have said this,
Then I would like to ask you, according to your opinion, who in the harem can take up the position of queen? Is it the same ones you have mentioned to me before? "
After Ran Yunpo finished speaking, he continued without giving a few people a chance to answer: "Why don't you listen to me today and tell me who I want to make my queen?"
Ran Yunpo's words made everyone in the hall look at each other in confusion. The emperor has always rejected this topic, what is going on today?
"I wonder which empress the emperor is interested in?"
One person boldly asked, and everyone including Ran Yunhao pricked up their ears to hear whose name Ran Yunpo wanted to say, and who had such good luck to be favored by the emperor. However, when Ran Yunpo said that name
After exiting, everyone was stunned.
"The one I am interested in is Xi Honglei who is currently living in Jialing Garden. I wonder if the ministers have any objections?"
Ran Yunhao's eyes flashed. He never expected that Ran Yunpo would say Xi Honglei's name. The Queen Mother had always opposed the emperor's relationship with Xi Honglei. Now that the emperor said such words in front of all the ministers, it was not an obvious intention.
Do you mean to resist the Queen Mother? These people today probably acted like this under the orders of the Queen Mother. What does the Emperor mean by carrying Xi Honglei out at this time?
Ran Yunhao knew that Ran Yunpo had never given up on Xi Honglei. But now Ran Yunpo definitely did not trust Xi Honglei enough to make her his queen. By doing this, Ran Yunpo pushed Xi Honglei to the forefront.
What should he do if he wants to stop his red tears?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
After Ran Yunpo finished speaking, not only the previous ministers spoke up, but also some other ministers who had nothing to do with their own affairs knelt down one after another to dissuade Ran Yunpo.
Ran Yunhao and others stood aside, frowning slightly. Originally, they wanted to watch the fun today, but looking at it now, it is very likely that they will get involved...
"I don't like what you said. You can't stand what I chose. The affairs of the harem are my family affairs. But you guys talk about my family affairs every day and discuss them privately.
Although the harmony in the harem is conducive to the stability of the government, but now that I am in office, Xuanxuan Kingdom is not in chaos to the point where all the ministers have to work hard for me every day. You force me to become a queen, and I will follow your wishes. Why?
, you don’t want me to be the queen now?”
Ran Yunpo looked mockingly at the people kneeling on the ground and asked them with a sneer. After scanning the people in the first row, Ran Yunpo thought for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, I want to hear your opinion."
The prime minister mentioned by Ran Yunpo is Hao Zhengyuan, Hao Weiwei's father. When the Xi family fell into decline and Xi Yuanshan died, Shu Rumei strongly recommended this person to Ran Yunpo, which is why he has his current status.
When Hao Zhengyuan heard Ran Yunpo mention his name, he immediately trembled. "Your Majesty, Xi Honglei is the daughter of a guilty minister. You must not make her your queen. The queen is the mother of a country. Please think twice. Otherwise, this will happen."
The people of the world will definitely discuss this matter and ruin the reputation of the royal family!"
"Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, how about I make your daughter the queen?!"
Ran Yunpo's words made the atmosphere in the hall, which was already not quite right, become even weirder. Hao Zhengyuan was too frightened to say anything, and everyone else was too nervous to take a breath. Almost everyone present had someone at home.
The daughter or relative is a concubine in the palace. The emperor has already made fun of Hao Weiwei and directed the conversation at Hao Zhengyuan. Who else dares to make trouble for himself?
Ran Yunpo watched everyone bow their heads in silence, and raised the corners of his mouth with a satisfied smile. He glanced sideways at the few people standing nearby, and Ran Yunpo set his sights on Ran Yunhao.
"The establishment of a queen is considered a family matter. Prince Nanjun is my younger brother, so you might as well tell me. Do you have anything to say?"
Ran Yunhao looked at Ran Yunpo intently, not understanding what he meant by suddenly saying this. What does the matter of establishing a queen have to do with him?
"There are many concubines in the harem, but no one understands the advantages and benefits of each of them as clearly as the emperor. The ministers are only anxious for the emperor about the matter of establishing a queen, but in the end, it is still the emperor's own business."
Ran Yunhao thought again and again and spoke cautiously. These were the people from Shu Rumei's side. It was a difficult problem not to offend the Queen Mother but to satisfy the Emperor at the same time.
Ran Yunpo stood up with a smile on his face and nodded lightly in the direction of Ran Yunhao. "As for the queen's appointment, if you ministers have suitable candidates, please come to the palace to discuss it with me privately. I don't want to discuss it in the hall anymore."
I have started this matter. If you come to force me again, then I will just stop crying for the future."
After Ran Yunpo finished speaking, he looked at everyone looking at each other and continued: "I understand your good intentions for me. But you can't do anything too hastily, otherwise it will be bad if I mistakenly think that you are trying to force me to marry you...
…Do you understand?”
After Ran Yunpo finished speaking, he strode away, leaving everyone uneasy and uneasy. Ran Yunhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after Ran Yunpo left. He looked back at Ran Hongjin and Ran Yunchou behind him, and the three of them looked at each other.
They glanced at each other and walked outside in unison.
"What does the emperor mean today?" Ran Yunchou asked Ran Yunhao beside him in a low voice after walking out of the hall.
"Who knows." Ran Yunhao answered Ran Yunchou meaningfully, and he was also guessing what Ran Yunpo was thinking. Could it be that he deliberately embarrassed himself because he refused him to go to Zizi country a few days ago?
?
Ran Yunpo walked towards the palace in a good mood. The faces of those ministers just now appeared in his mind. There was a cold light in Ran Yunpo's eyes. He had already made plans to fall out with them if they mentioned this matter again. He had already made plans.
Xi Honglei brought it up. These people also had taboos about Xi Honglei's name. Even if it couldn't scare them forever, it could still scare them for a while.
Returning to the palace, Ran Yunpo paused after walking into the room, and said to the guard guarding the door: "Go and call me Xi Honglei."
Xi Honglei had just finished eating with Chen'er, but she didn't expect Ran Yunpo to be in a hurry to find her so early in the morning. After handing Chen'er over to Jinyu, Xi Honglei hurried to Ran Yunpo's bedroom. Watching Ran Yunpo sit down in a good mood.
Looking at himself behind the table, Xi Honglei frowned and asked, "Does the Emperor have anything happy to tell me?"
"I have told all the ministers in the main hall today that I will make you my queen."
"What?!" Xi Honglei opened his eyes wide and looked at Ran Yunpo in disbelief. "Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
