Wrestling in the harem is originally a matter of life and death.
She is not a kind woman. Why should elders be respected if they don't deserve respect?
"Then call Jing'er. The Ai family would like to hear what they mean by letting the daughter of the cabinet join the palace as a maid."
…
Long Jingkuang was still invited.
He originally wanted to stay out of it, but failed.
Ouyang Jing asked him to express his position, "Jing'er, the bachelor Zhao Xing in the cabinet is a second-generation veteran and an important minister of the court. Miss Zhao is his only daughter, and he loves her very much. But now your queen wants Miss Zhao to be her maid.
Isn't this too much of a deception? Even the Ai family can't stand it anymore. Don't do whatever you want. If it chills the hearts of all the ministers, then... what should I do?"
"Invite Academician Zhao to come."
Long Jingkuang said a word, and Zhao Xing was quickly heard.
Originally, Zhao Xing was also very worried about today's selection of show girls. He also knew that Long Jingkuang did not want other women to enter the palace and disturb his relationship with Queen Dongfang Lian.
He also saw that now was not a good time, so he might wait a year or two more until the emperor and empress' feelings faded.
But he couldn't bear the Queen Mother's intervention. He also had a sense of luck, thinking that the new emperor might succumb to the Queen Mother because of his filial piety.
"Xueshi Zhao, the Empress Dowager wants to make Miss Zhao a concubine, but my Queen wants not to establish a concubine first, and she won't do it in the future, because there is a lack of maids in the palace.
After the first show was held, it was not said in advance that the concubine would be crowned concubine, but in the end it was the palace.
Whether she is a concubine or a concubine, this decision is in the hands of the queen. Even I can't interfere. Zhao Qing, you value the clear distinction of rights and responsibilities most, and you must not overstep your authority. This matter is related to the harmony between the emperor and the empress, and the peace of the royal family. Zhao Qing
Please tell me, sir, what should I do about this matter? It’s really hard to deal with it being caught in the middle.”
"Your Majesty, this is a royal matter, and it's really not easy for me to interfere." Zhao Xing understood clearly that Long Jingkuang supported Dongfang Lian.
But is the Empress Dowager so easy to deal with?
"Jing'er, it is the responsibility of the queen and concubines to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family, let alone the other Ai families. The Ai family does not think that the queen can do this."
"Grandma Huang, what does this mean?"
Long Jingkuang's face darkened.
"There are some things that some people think they do very secretly so that no one knows, but no matter how secretive the thing is, some news will leak out. I heard that the queen's body is difficult to conceive? The queen's biggest concern is to continue to have offspring.
Responsibility, if you can't do this, then why do you sit in the position of queen?"
"..." Dongfang Lian's face changed slightly. Haha, it seems that Ouyang Jing has checked her thoroughly.
No matter what, it is true that she had difficulty conceiving anyway.
It seems that she is really not suitable to be a queen.
"In this case, I will give up my throne. Let the emperor depose me."
Dongfang Lian came out of the queue and knelt down.
"How could you let me destroy you so easily?" Long Jingkuang was a little disappointed with Dongfang Lian.
"The Empress Dowager is right. I have a constitution that makes it difficult to conceive. Besides, I am not suitable to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty now, so..."
This is also the problem before her. Due to the concern that her spiritual power will become weaker and weaker, she has never been mad with Long Jing...
Indeed, as an emperor, it is time to think about the prince. She cannot be so selfish and let Long Jingkuang blindly sacrifice for her.
