Chapter 223 Emperor: It is impossible to draft a draft!
Luo Meiren walked away in despair, Wen Xiaotu was confused, and Xin Ruozhi showed dissatisfaction: "Why is this Luo family becoming more and more unruly? You want to be the queen, is this a bad thing for her?
"——Xin Ruozhi murmured in her heart. Could it be that she felt that Ru Tu was not qualified to be the queen?
Wen Xiaotu was a little confused as to whether Luo Meiren was mentally ill, but he didn't mind, "Maybe... you're too surprised?"
Xin Ruozhi curled her lips and said, "You are so kind to her, but she is so pretentious! Luo is really not a likable person."
Saying that, Xin Ruozhi whispered: "I see that this Luo family is very lonely, so you should stay away from her."
Wen Xiaotu smiled, "We are in the same harem, how far apart can we be?"
Just as he was talking, His Majesty the Emperor arrived. Xin Ruozhi immediately wished she had two extra legs, and she didn't even dare to meet the Emperor in person, so she slipped out the back door.
Wen Xiaotu:......
Why do you feel that the emperor is like a poisonous snake and a beast? Everyone has learned to take the back door without any teacher?
He hurriedly greeted the emperor with a smile. As expected, the emperor's face looked very bad.
"They are all a bunch of bastards!" Ming Zhao started to curse angrily as soon as he entered the palace, "How dare you care about my position as queen! You don't even want to see if you are worthy?!"
But Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but laugh. Anyway, in terms of background and family status, he was more worthy than her.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. This is the phoenix position in the middle palace. Who doesn't hope to have a queen in their family so that they can honor their ancestors?"
Ming Zhao looked at A Tu's nonchalant smile and said, "You're not angry either?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "What should I be angry about? Is it possible that if they recommend a noble girl, the emperor will obey them?!"
Ming Zhao was so angry that his nose was half crooked: "Don't even think about it! I am the emperor! Who do I want to marry, and it is their turn to make irresponsible remarks?!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and took the emperor's hand to sit on the Arhat couch, and gave him a cup of tea, "That's it, anyway, the emperor has the final say in the end, so why bother with those unpleasant remarks?"
?The emperor just ignored it!"
After hearing this, Ming Zhao couldn't help but lose some of his anger. Yes, they are just a group of ambitious and inexperienced guys!
"But they dare to slander you, which I really can't tolerate!" Mingzhao made a clanging sound and put the tea cup on the kang table.
Wen Xiaotu smiled: "It's nothing more than saying that I am a merchant, my family background is not good enough, and I am a concubine. Although it doesn't sound good, it is the truth and it is not slander."
"A'tu..." Ming Zhao looked at the light-hearted woman in front of him. He never expected that A'tu would be so broad-minded.
"If my concubines are not angry, there is no need for the emperor to be angry. Isn't it worth it to be so angry?" Wen Xiaotu smiled brightly, and his voice was like a spring breeze, which made Ming Zhao feel a lot more anxious.
"Forget it, I will take you to the Yi Nian Palace later. After asking your mother for permission, I will issue the order directly." Ming Zhao said with an unquestionable expression.
Once the decree is issued and everything has settled, the previous dynasty will naturally cease.
It's just that Wen Xiaotu didn't expect that the Queen Mother would not have such an easy time.
The next morning, Yi Nian Hall.
Emperor Mingzhao came with his Ata Huanhuan to pay his respects and went through the formalities. After he turned around and issued the edict, he could also say that he "received the empress dowager's kind words", which was even more justified.
"The affairs of the previous dynasty were such a big fuss that the Ai family also heard about it." The Queen Mother sat on the throne, her expression showing no emotion or anger.
Ming Zhao said seriously: "When the decree is issued, the former court will naturally become quiet."
After a slight pause, Ming Zhaofu smiled slightly and said, "My son plans to choose a concubine as his queen, and I would like to ask my mother for permission."
The Queen Mother thought: If the imperial concubine does not become the queen, Jun'er will be just a concubine...
Ming Zhao was overjoyed, it seemed like it was settled.
But the Queen Mother had a serious face and said in a deep voice: "It is not difficult to get the Ai family to agree. The Ai family has only one request. If Wen is appointed as the queen, then next year at this time, the Wen family must be the queen.
The emperor presides over the draft!"
As soon as these words came out, Wen Xiaotu and the emperor were both shocked.
The corners of Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched twice: The old lady hasn't forgotten this!
"Queen Mother!" Mingzhao couldn't help but feel angry. The Queen Mother actually wanted to threaten me with Atu's position as queen?!
The Queen Mother said angrily: "The draft is an ancestral system! It is the traditional rule that the queen presides over the draft! The Ai family's request is not excessive."
Wen Xiaotu touched his nose. The Queen Mother's words were really hard to refute.
The Queen Mother glanced at the imperial concubine Wen: "Being a queen is different from being a concubine! The queen is the middle palace, so she must be virtuous and generous! If the imperial concubine cannot do this, then she should continue to live in Changyi Palace." - Anyway, the imperial concubine.
His son can still be the prince.
Ming Zhao heard his mother's voice and almost exploded with anger. Back then, I was just the son of a noble concubine! Even if I entered the East Palace, my mother would still be a noble concubine! It wasn't until my father was seriously ill that he decreed to make my mother the queen.
.
But Mingzhao couldn't bear that Atu had to spend half his life as a noble concubine!
"I don't agree!" Mingzhao's eyes were almost bloodshot. Are you kidding?! Even if it is the queen mother, it is too much to threaten me and Atu in such a way!
Faced with the emperor's son's "unfilial" yelling, the Queen Mother not only did not get angry, but showed a rogue attitude: "Anyway, if you don't agree to the Ai family's plea, don't expect the Ai family to nod in agreement."
Emperor Ming Zhao was so angry that his face turned green. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the Queen Mother disagrees, I can still issue the decree directly!"
The Queen Mother's old eyes widened and she was slightly stunned.
It is true that the emperor can bypass the queen mother and issue orders directly, but this is undoubtedly unfair.
Seeing this, Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, and the Queen Mother, please calm down. This matter... can be discussed later." This is not a quarrel! Although she also wants to be the queen, if the Queen Mother opposes it, she will undoubtedly attract trouble.
Many doubts.
She tried to persuade him to make peace, but it had no effect at all. Instead, she made Emperor Mingzhao even angrier, "What do you mean? Did you agree to the draft?!"
Wen Xiaotu suddenly felt a headache, "I didn't say that!"
The Queen Mother on the throne instantly showed dissatisfaction: "Why, does the imperial concubine disagree with the ancestral system of the draft?!"
Wen Xiaotu waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, how dare I, my concubine!"
She was about to cry! The two of us were quarreling, but I became the rat in the bellows, suffering from both sides!
Seeing Atu's panic-stricken look, Mingzhao suddenly regained consciousness. What was I doing? I asked Atu, wasn't this an obvious attempt to embarrass her?
Ming Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to calmly say: "It is impossible to draft a draft. Even if the queen mother doesn't feel sorry for the Wen family, she should feel sorry for Jing Jun and Jin Shu." - It's not that the queen mother can't bear to let Jing Jun go.
Are you going to be a bastard forever? If you play the emotional card, your mother will be soft-hearted, right?
The Queen Mother was also silent. After a long time, she sighed and said: "Selection is a must in the draft. As for who to choose, the emperor and the future queen can discuss who to choose to enter the palace together. The Ai family does not have to interfere."——
This is the biggest concession the Aijia can make.
