Chapter 240
There is fine snow outside the eaves, and the Imperial City of Chang'an in December seems to be melting into the dark gray mist, looking sad and desolate.

Cuiwei helped Chen Guibin walk towards Nuan Pavilion and murmured softly, "Guifei is tired, please sit down and have a sip of tea."

Chen Guibin's slender eyes were leisurely flying, and her smile was scorching: "I'm not tired, even if I am tired, everything will get better once the funeral of Queen Wencheng is over."

She smiled, reached out and carefully brushed off the snow on her plain white brocade robe, and slowly sat on the couch.

"Now that King Nanyang is dead and King Linhai has been deposed, only King Yong'an is left. Although King Yong'an is not my biological child, after all, the younger one is much more reliable than the older one."

Cui Wei nodded understandingly: "Yes, your concubine saved King Yong'an in the Jiade Palace. His Majesty will also miss you and will give King Yong'an to your care in the near future."

Chen Guibin looked at the soft snow outside the curtain and brushed away the snow stains on her temples. She said as if she was careless: "No matter whether I can have children in the future, I will raise them for now. Isn't it said that among the people, there is also a practice of adopting children to recruit younger brothers? What if... …If it happens, I really won’t be afraid of anything.”

Cui Wei raised the corners of her lips in a graceful arc: "Not only that, even now, you are the only noble concubine in the harem, just under one person."

Cui Wei smiled warmly as she spoke, "Perhaps when Your Majesty is in a good mood, not only will she be the adoptive mother of King Yong'an, but she will also be the Queen of the Central Palace."

Chen Guibin smiled nonchalantly, accepted her courtesy calmly, and said, "You little girl has a poor mouth!"

Cui smiled and said calmly, "How dare you, slave? What I say is true."

That said, why didn't Chen Xijun not know that after the death of Queen Wen Cheng, there was already a turbulent undercurrent in the harem. The emperor praised her for bravely protecting King Yong'an, which was undoubtedly more favorable to her in terms of the position of the queen. How could the maids around him not Compliments everywhere.

Chen Guifei had a smile on her face and was about to chat when she heard someone shouting urgently from outside: "Guifei, your concubine is not good!"

Chen Guibi waved the aqua blue silk and sneered: "Why are you panic? If you have something to say, please speak slowly."

The palace lady frowned and said: "These days, the ministers in the court have advised your majesty to select a new queen. Many ministers have advised you to become the queen..."

Cui Wei was slightly surprised: "Isn't this a good thing? There are some officials who are not blind."

The palace maid hurriedly shook her head, crying, "But just like this, Your Majesty became angry, saying that you, your concubine, were having an affair with the previous dynasty, trying to speculate on the holy will! Your Majesty's most taboo was that the former dynasty was involved with the harem, and the Que family back then Isn’t that what He Yangui’s concubine is like!”

"His Majesty is angry now!"

"What..." Chen Guibi was stunned, unaware that the expression on her face had frozen into a puppet.

There is only deep tiredness and endless chill.

The Ganquan Palace in that room was surprisingly quiet. The emperor stood alone, looking down at the memorial on the case with a slight chill in his eyes.

"Presumptuous! They are all presumptuous! Queen Wen Cheng's body is still cold, and these ministers actually submitted a memorial to me to establish a new queen. Where did they put Queen Wen Cheng!"

Li Guangping breathed out and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

There was a cold feeling in his heart, and the emperor suddenly opened his eyes: "This Chen Guifei, I just promoted her a little, and she teased the courtiers to recommend her as the queen. What is she? She is just the slave of Queen Wen Cheng. That’s all, she still dares to assume the position of master, because I thought she was somewhat loyal in saving King Yong’an, but I didn’t expect her to have evil intentions!”

The emperor said in a very calm tone, "Where is Chen Guifei now?"

Li Guang replied obediently: "I just came from Queen Wencheng's Jiade Palace and saw Chen Guifei and Lin Jieyu busy arranging funeral arrangements. Now I should go to Lanlin Palace."

The emperor's gaze flickered: "Lin Jieyu is here too?"

Li Guangdao: "Yes. Lin Jieyu can't help much, she just listens to Chen Guipin's arrangements."

The emperor's voice was rustling, as if he was grinding some iron tool: "Lin Jieyu will listen to Chen Guifei's arrangements? Chen Guifei is very powerful. I have already ordered her to attend the funeral ceremony of the queen together with Princess Qin. Now, She is strong and capable, she took it all by herself and even dismissed Princess Qin, it was so easy!"

Li Guangnuo responded and said with an apologetic smile: "Chen Guifei is older and has a lot of experience! The concubines are usually more ambitious and always have a clear idea of ​​priorities."

The emperor suddenly tightened his lips, as if desperately suppressing the throbbing emotions, "Prioritize, no matter how bad Princess Qin is, she is still a second-class concubine, and Queen Wen Cheng recognizes her daughter, is her status lower than that of Chen Guifei! I think it is some It’s just that people can win over people’s hearts!”

How dare Li Guang accept such words: "I don't dare to make unreasonable comments."

The emperor waved his hand and said kindly: "Li Guang, you are an old man who follows me. You have been stable for many years, how can you make a mistake?"

Li Guang agreed, glanced back, and said quietly beside the emperor: "Your Majesty, King Qin is here." The emperor immediately raised his head and looked at Wen Yu and said: "I have asked you to come here because I have something to discuss with you."

Wen Yu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please tell me if you have anything to say."

The emperor asked: "What do you think of the relationship between the DPRK and China?"

Wen Yu clasped his hands and said: "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a harem cannot be without a master for a day."

The emperor was obviously unhappy, "Do you also think that I need to establish a queen now?"

Wen Yu still looked indifferent, "It's just a common saying, and your Majesty can truly believe it. If the harem is without a master, the world will be in chaos. How can the First Emperor achieve such great achievements, not to mention the exclusive power of his relatives? Your Majesty can tell by looking at the Dou family and the Liang family in the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Besides, King Yong'an is still young and is His Majesty's beloved son. I'm afraid that establishing a queen at this time will make some people have other thoughts."

The emperor's eyes flashed with a dark light, "Tell me about it?"

Wen Yu continued: "Your Majesty, why do you think King Linhai suddenly lost his composure in front of the queen? Why did King Linhai suddenly bring up those old events? Why was it Concubine Chen who saved King Yongan that day?"

The emperor followed his intention and looked sad, remembering the ridiculous behavior of King Linhai that day, "Chen Guifei is an old member of the palace, so she naturally knows everything..."

Li Guang thought carefully and bowed before answering, "I did hear Leader Yang say a few days ago that I saw Chen Guifei and King Linhai meeting in private."

The emperor's body shook slightly, and his blank gaze suddenly shrank into a sharp silver needle, "Bitch...she actually dared to plot against my son and me. She wanted to be the queen, but I was not as good as she wanted..."

Li Guang frowned, "Then..."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Chen Guibi is ill, let her rest in peace and recuperate. Princess Qin and Princess Ruyang will take care of the queen's funeral together."

Wen Yu glanced at the emperor's expression and said calmly, "Since your Majesty has made a decision, I will retire first."

Seeing him getting up to leave, the emperor hurriedly called him, "Wait a moment."

Wen Yu looked back and paused.

The emperor seemed to be thinking, but there was a long feeling in his eyes, "I want to ask you a question, why have you only liked Shi family all these years?"

Wen Yu said with emotion, "...Isn't it possible that the new piano will not be as good as the old sword? I will always remember who was by my side when I was most critical, and who never gave up on me."

The emperor only stared at the beaded flower of Empress Wen Cheng, and a cluster of fire ignited in his eyes, "I understand, you can go down."

Wen Yu took two steps back, slowly closed the door and left.

The emperor burst into tears and exhaled with emotion, "How can it be that the new harp is not as good as the old sword? After all, the old sword has been in love for a long time. The King of Qin is right, how can this new harp be as affectionate as the old sword... No one knows Not as good as Queen Wen Cheng."

Suddenly there was the sound of someone sobbing and crying. Li Guang raised his head, waved his fly whisk and shouted: "Who dares to cry in the palace and disturb the holy audience?"

I saw a little palace maid put down the jade lotus potted plant in her hand, knelt down and said.

"This slave deserves to die. When I heard His Majesty read this sentence, I suddenly remembered that I was punished in the past and was a compassionate and forgiving slave of Queen Wen Cheng. Now that Queen Wen Cheng has passed away, I am really sad and wish I could go for the Queen and repay the Queen's kindness. I am so sad that I am disturbing Your Majesty."

The emperor suddenly remembered that Chen Guibin was busy ascending the throne at this time, and smiled coldly with emotion, "A little palace maid can still cry because of the memory of Queen Wen Cheng's virtue, but some people are not worthy of being human."

He stood up and took the palace maid's hand with his own. "It's hard for you to still care about the queen. There are fewer and fewer loyal people like you in the world."

The maid lowered her head and cried with tears in her eyes, "Everyone in the harem knows about Queen Wen Cheng's virtues. It is my blessing that I am lucky enough to be taken care of. I dare to forget each other. Just imagine how prosperous the harem would be if Queen Wen Cheng was still there. A scene of peace.”

The emperor's eyes opened slightly. Seeing her being so fragile, he fell in love with her even more. He raised her chin with his hand and asked, "What's your name?"

However, the palace maid was very calm. She lowered her eyebrows and said, "This slave is the palace maid of the flower room, her name is Cheng Yan'er."

 There are still three days until the holiday, so excited (*I`*)
