Chapter 222 The Mother of Nations! Who Wouldn't Be Greedy?
Chapter 222 The position of mother of the country! Who is not greedy?
Ming Zhao held Wen Xiaotu's hand and went to sit down on the Luohan couch. He said softly: "I'm sorry for making you wait for so many years..."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but feel a little excited at the moment. She was really going to be the queen?!
"Why did the emperor suddenly make this decision?" Wen Xiaotu was a little confused. Didn't the emperor always have a grudge against the position of queen?
Ming Zhao shook his head, "I didn't make a decision suddenly, but I decided it long ago."
Wen Xiaotu was surprised. He had decided long ago? Then why didn't he make me the queen earlier?!
Ming Zhao's brows were filled with relief, "Jing Jun is very smart and deserves to be the heir apparent."
Hearing this, Wen Xiaotu was more surprised than if she was going to be the queen!
Although the emperor now only has one son, Fanfan, who else can he establish if he doesn't? But the emperor is only in his thirties, how can he know that he won't have other sons in the future! If Fanfan doesn't take over the East Palace, Wen Xiaotu will not.
Peace of mind!
Ming Zhao smiled and said: "Jun'er did not disappoint me." I can now make Atu my queen with peace of mind.
Clinging to those gentle and soft Rouyi, Mingzhao is unprecedentedly satisfied. As the emperor, I must put the country, the country, and the country as my top priority. I am afraid that Jingjun will not be able to assume the position of crown prince. Fortunately, this child is quite worthy.
He took advantage of the situation and took the woman in front of him, who could not hide his joy, into his arms, "Since I am staying here, more courtiers will come to court next time. When I come to court, I can take advantage of the opportunity to accept the advice of all the ministers."
"It's natural. According to the rules, you have to ask the Queen Mother for permission."
Wen Xiaotu was a little worried, "Will the Queen Mother agree?" In recent years, there has been no more happiness in the harem, and the Queen Mother is quite resentful about this. And because she was unwilling to advise the emperor on the draft, she was also somewhat dissatisfied with her.
Already.
Ming Zhao said calmly: "For Jing Jun, she will agree."
Now that there is such a single Miao Jin grandson, even if she becomes the legitimate son for Jingjun, the Queen Mother will probably agree to her entering the middle palace.
"The Queen Mother has indeed become more and more nagging in recent years." Ming Zhao was also very dissatisfied when it came to the Queen Mother.
Wen Xiaotu smiled dryly, the Queen Mother was indeed in the advanced stage of reproductive cancer.
Five days later, as expected, more than a dozen civil servants in the court came forward one after another, asking the emperor to choose the middle palace to correct the inner curtain. However, the development direction of the matter was slightly different from the emperor's expectations.
Wen Xiaotu was at the head of the Sixth Palace and had the emperor's only son at his knees, so he was naturally a popular candidate for the position of queen.
But in the eyes of some civil servants and corrupt scholars, she is not the most suitable candidate.
Some people strongly recommended the emperor to choose a lady from a well-known family and make her the queen. They even dissed Wen Xiaotu, saying that although the imperial concubine had the effect of extending the emperor's heir, she was only the emperor's concubine after all. It was against etiquette and law to treat a concubine as his wife! And the imperial concubine
The ancestor of the Wen family was just a merchant with insufficient family status.
Wen Xiaotu's great-grandfather was indeed a grain merchant. In order to protect his family business, he embraced the lap of the great ancestor of the dynasty during the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty. Later, when the great ancestor of the dynasty ascended the throne, he was granted the title of second-class uncle. Therefore, Wen Xiaotu
Indeed, after the merchants.
Some people even think that the Xin family, a virtuous concubine, is a loyal and loyal concubine, and is more suitable to be the successor than the noble concubine Wen family.
Wen Xiaotu was speechless. Why did Xin Ruozhi get dragged into this chaotic fight?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xin Xian would like to see you." The eunuch in charge, Liang Wanguan, quickly came in to report.
Okay, the real master is here.
Xin Ruozhi also just heard that there were people waving flags and cheering for her in the previous court. She immediately couldn't sit still and went straight to Changyi Palace.
"Rutu, believe me, the Xin family had absolutely no involvement in the previous court's request to establish the Zhonggong Palace!" Oh my god, the emperor must hate her even more now!
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said that although Xin Ruozhi was also one of the candidates for the throne, she was only the one with the lowest voice. It was she, a noble concubine, and a lady from a famous family who had the higher voice.
"Let me see, it's probably caused by people who have a grudge against the Yongding Marquis Mansion." Wen Xiaotu boldly put forward his speculation. Anyway, it couldn't be the intention of the Xin family. After all, the three wives of the Yongding Marquis Mansion are married. Gave it to her brother! In other words, the Xin family had already lined up early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, he was taken out to fill up the numbers.
Xin Ruozhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Rutu believed in her, "I don't know who killed Qian Dao, I'm really afraid that the world will not be in chaos!"
The two of them went inside and took their seats. Xin Ruozhi took a sip of tea and then calmed down, "By the way, there seem to be more voices from the previous court pleading with the emperor to choose a lady from a famous family than there are voices supporting you!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled: "This is also expected. Among the nobles, the Wen family is only a middle-class family. There are so many princes, princes, and aristocratic families who naturally want their daughters to be Queen."
This is the position of the mother of the country! Who is not envious?!
Xin Ruozhi spat, "The emperor obviously wants to make you his queen, but they actually want to stab you in the side, how dare they think of it!"
Wen Xiaotu was very calm. In the end, the emperor still had the final say on this matter. No matter how loud the aristocratic family clamored, they could never force the emperor to marry another man.
"Taking a concubine as a wife is really reprehensible from a legal point of view." Wen Xiaotu said calmly.
Xin Ruozhi couldn't help but spat, "Besides the original queen, how many other concubines are there who were not chosen from the concubines? This is the palace, not the ordinary families outside!"
Yes, if an ordinary person wants to straighten his concubine, he will be punished, but if the emperor makes his concubine a queen, it is not uncommon.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than coveting the glory of the descendants of the family.
According to the rules, the father of the queen can be granted the title of Marquis, and it is also the Marquis of Chengen who has been hereditary for three generations and has just been reduced.
Compared with those titles that have been passed down for generations, this is too eye-watering.
It would be strange for aristocratic families not to fight for such a great opportunity!
Liang Waguan suddenly walked in quickly and said, "Mother, Luo Mei, I want to see you!"
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. What was she doing at this juncture? But she still hurriedly invited him in.
Luo Meiren was not as indifferent as usual today, and her cold face could not hide the anxious look. She quickly said hello, "I heard that the emperor intends to establish a queen, and the person whom the Holy Heart prefers is your concubine. I don’t know if this rumor…is it true?!”
Xin Ruozhi, the wise concubine on the side, chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that even the Luomei people who never like to go out have heard about it? Yes, although the emperor has not said it explicitly, it is obvious that he wants the imperial concubine to enter Fengyi Palace."
Saying that, Xin Ruozhi curled her lips again: "Those aristocratic families in the previous dynasty were really good at daydreaming! At this time, they are still thinking about picking peaches!"
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself: Well, yes, these guys are just thinking about Taozi!
Luo Meiren's pupils trembled and her face turned pale, "The emperor... really wants to make your concubine the queen?!"
Xin Ruozhi glanced at Luo, and was quite speechless and choked, "Why are you so surprised? Who else can you establish if you don't establish her as a noble concubine?"
Luo Meiren bit her white lips, "Yes, I was thinking about it all the time. If not the imperial concubine... who else could it be?"
Wen Xiaotu looked at Luo Meiren, why was he so lost?
"Luomei people? What's wrong with you?" Wen Xiaotu was a little confused. Over the years, he thought that Luo Mei people had returned to normal, but now they seem to have lost their souls like they did back then.
Luo Meiren raised her eyes and looked at the imperial concubine sitting on the Arhat couch. She murmured: "The queen... is the emperor's wife. After so many years, the emperor actually put aside his grudge and made you his queen..."
Luo Meiren closed her eyes and bowed deeply, "Concubine... take leave."
Wen Xiaotu was as confused as the second monk, what's going on?!
