Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Before he could finish his sentence of "just", Wu Quji said very forcefully: "Since he is from Qingyi, please name him. I will go and invite him in person right now, and I will definitely make him a man." We serve.”

As he spoke, Wu Quji was very determined, with some unshakable firmness.

Wu Mu said: "That's difficult for uncle. You are more familiar with this person than Gu."

Wu Mu looked at Wu Quji, glanced at him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Do you still remember that your father once married a princess from Daxia?"

Wu Quji's face froze, his whole body was sluggish, and he didn't turn around for a moment.

His pupils were dim and his gums could not help but feel sore. He raised his hand as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time.

In the end, it was Lu Qing who spoke first.

Lu Qing looked confused and asked after thinking: "But Princess Anle?"

"Not bad." Wu Mu nodded.

Wu Qui, who was originally stunned, quickly came to his senses, opened his mouth, and said as if sighing: "I didn't expect it to be... But, it's also right..."

Wu Quji seemed to have recalled something. His face turned black and white for a while, as if he had recalled some information.

His thick black eyebrows were squeezed into a ball, and the two black brows were like hills.

The matter of Jiang Sile, or 'Princess Anle', is no longer mentioned in Qingyi.

Other people's impressions of this princess may be that she is 'the emperor's daughter', 'she is said to be a beauty' or 'has a bad personality, is very rebellious, and even once led troops to force her back to her mother country. '

But Wu Quji, the Zuoxian King as the highest level Qing Yi, knew relatively more.

How could he not remember the wound on Shan Yu's neck?

How could he remain indifferent to the fact that A Yishi had been demoted and even almost imprisoned?
Wu Quji and Jiang Sile had met several times before, but they were not familiar with each other.The two of them can only say that they have a certain tacit understanding in some aspects, such as not to meddle in each other's business.

Just like Jiang Sile never inquired for information in Qingyi and acted as if he was not interested in Qingyi's internal affairs, spending all day riding in the grasslands and attending banquets, Wu Quji also never had any conflict or disagreement with Jiang Sile in any aspect.

He is raising this Yan family and hopes that she can live peacefully in Qingyi.

As one of the most trusted people in Old Shan Yu Wuxian, Wu Quji naturally also knew about the transaction between the two.

But by the time he found out, Jiang Sile had already led people into the territory of Daxia.At that time, even if he was angry and disapproved of it, it would be useless.

This incident caused a big quarrel between Wu Quji and Wu Xian, but the two finally reconciled.

But Wu Quji did not expect that at this time, he could actually hear from Wu Mu's mouth that "the former Yan family was no different from dead in his eyes". He couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't help but think about the past.

It seems... as if... this... ahem princess does have some tricks.

He had heard about Yan's learning of Qingyi language, but he never thought that this person could really learn it in such a short period of time.

With all calculations, this person... Ahem Princess has only been in Qingyi for more than a year, right?

However, if you have learned Qingyi before getting married, then forget about it.

"Are you sure? What if she...had learned it before she came? Besides, it's just words, not words..."

Wu Quji slapped the table with his big palm-leaf fan-sized hands, making a series of sounds.

"Uncle, please take a look at this matter..."

Wumu seemed not to have thought that his uncle would be so shaken. He discovered the gap and thought it would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to settle the matter.

As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and walked to the bookshelves on both sides to rummage around.

The bookshelf was full of paper or silk books. Wu Mu skillfully found a thin booklet made of fine white paper from the second floor of the bookshelf on the left.

Wu Mu walked back to the original place, opened the booklet, and pointed the direction of reading the book towards Wu Quji's side.

The other two people also moved forward and began to look at the contents of the booklet.

Lu Qing's current level of Qingyi language is still very poor. At most, he can only understand a few characters from the above, and it is difficult to distinguish the characters in it as Qingyi language.

After reading a few lines, he pulled back his head and lost interest in the booklet.

Lu Qing raised his head and asked Wu Mu: "Is this the work of 'Princess'? Where did Shanyu get it?"

It wasn't that he had any doubts about the matter, he was just confused by Wu Mu's sudden topic.

It seemed that all of a sudden, they started talking about other topics, and it was the person who all three parties had different impressions of to some extent.

Regarding Lu Qing's inquiry, Wu Mu turned the pages for his uncle, looked at Lu Qing and began to explain: "I found this in the study a few days ago. At the time, I just thought it was novel, and I also asked the person who manages the study. Attendant.”

"They said that only the Yan family and her entourage had been here in those days."

Lu Qing basically knew nothing about Qingyi's affairs during that period. At that time, he was still studying hard in an old thatched house in the countryside.

"Follower?" Lu Qing asked.

"Well, it is said that he is a Taoist priest." Speaking of this, Wu Mu also smiled helplessly and explained: "Gu Ye was no longer in the royal city during that time, and what he knew was not much different from Mr. Lu."

Saying this, Wu Mu and Lu Qing both looked at Wu Quji, who was concentrating on reading the words on the booklet.

Wu Quji's body stiffened under the gazes of the two men, and his eyes moved away from the last page of the booklet.

"I don't know much."

Wu Qujiji said with a smile.

"Besides, it's not very good to talk about someone like this, isn't it, Your Majesty?"

After all, the topic came back to Wu Mu.

Wumu waved his hand and spread his hands to show that he didn't mean to do it and had no other way.

"That's true, even if it's true, we can't invite this person..."

Lu Qing shook his head and said with a smile.There was a hint of wistfulness in his words. "Not always······"

Kyoto - Sogoden

Today, the palace is extremely lively both inside and outside.

The orchids originally placed on the celadon vase were replaced with peonies that were more colorful and became increasingly cherished in the summer.

The flower buds slowly bloomed, like a dancing beauty, either graceful and luxurious, or pink and enchanting, and the fragrance continued to spread to everyone's noses.

The celadon vase was also carefully wiped by the palace people, showing the patterns on its body in the sun, which was particularly beautiful and beautiful.The harem concubines gathered together in twos and threes, talking about today's chores and making some small talk.

"Sister, look, this is the new rouge from the North. The color is extremely..."

"Your Majesty, this dress is really beautiful, this silk..."

The banquet has not yet begun, and people are passing the time like this.

The scale of this banquet was not large, not even comparable to Princess Jing'an's birthday banquet.But gathering these people together, obviously the purpose is not just to have a meal.

By the time Jiang Yi arrived at the scene, everyone was already there.

Jiang Yi had just come down from the court meeting. The court meeting in the past few days was at the turn of spring and summer, so all kinds of things were rushing in.

Jiang Yi, who became emperor for the first time, was obviously not prepared for the turbulent government affairs that came, and was overwhelmed by all kinds of things as expected.

When the court meeting was over, Jiang Yi, who was so busy and dizzy, realized that today's banquet had been arranged a few days ago, so he quickly put down the government affairs at Chong'an's reminder.

He hurriedly rode on the dragon boat that had been prepared outside the palace and swayed towards the palace.

In the main hall, there has been a song and dance performance for half an hour.

Due to Jiang Yi's delay in arriving, everyone could only wait.

So the queen arranged for people from the song and dance studio to perform for the entertainment, which was actually just to kill time.

For them, just wait.

After all, His Majesty's government is the most important thing, but when the dishes in front of you have cooled down, the sun hangs high in the sky, staying safely at the commanding heights.

When all the ladies were already bored, news of Jiang Yi's recent relationship spread to the harem.

But it also signals that the long wait is coming to an end.

The most nervous person among them is the Queen.

Although this queen is very popular with Jiang Yi, after all, she is currently nowhere to be found and her status is not stable.It is for this reason that if something goes wrong again at the banquet, it is inevitable that someone will gossip about her behind her back.

As for what happened now, although His Majesty came late, it delayed these people from waiting with her for so long.

The queen did not believe that others would not bear their dissatisfaction on her.

After all, they will not blame His Majesty, and His Majesty also has various reasons, because of the government affairs, because of the court meetings, no matter which reason, she cannot defeat.

When Jiang Yi arrived at the main hall, what he saw was the queen's warm greetings and caring, and the smiling faces of the warblers in his harem.

This gentle countryside made Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

"Your Majesty specially summoned the sisters today and held a banquet. Why?"

The person who asked this question was a noble lady who had been very favored recently. She was wearing a pink dress. She was extremely delicate and beautiful, like a fairy among flowers.

Jiang Yi wasn't angry when she spoke like this.

He was originally a good-natured person, and he was very polite to others when he was the prince.

The only person he was rude to or even very harsh with was Chong'an.

Perhaps it's because Chong'an is the person closest to him. He accepts Jiang Yi's almost complete trust, but he also accepts Jiang Yi's bad temper that emerges from the bottom of his heart from time to time.

But in normal times, especially in the eyes of the empresses in the harem, Jiang Yi is indeed a gentle and easy-to-talk person.

When asked this question, Jiang Yi raised his hands to everyone, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"This is a good thing."

When everyone was confused, Jiang Yi continued.

"I plan to canonize Princess Jing'an as the Crown Princess on the third day of next month. I am convening everyone today because I want to make you happy, and the Ministry of Rites is about to start preparing for the canonization ceremony of the Crown Princess."

After saying this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but look stunned.

Princess Jing'an's mother-in-law was naturally overjoyed.

Before anyone could react, she quickly pulled Jing An, who was still two years old, to the main hall and knelt down to Jiang Yi.

"Your Majesty, please thank your father, Jing'an."

Xiao Jingan had just learned to speak, and he could only imitate a few words on weekdays.

But today, by coincidence, it was rare for the princess to finish a sentence completely under the sharp eyes of her mother and concubine, although she was trembling.

"Jing'an thanked my father."

With that said, Jing'an was supported by his mother and concubine and kowtowed.

Jiang Yi, who was sitting in the upper seat, was very happy, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed.

He opened his hands to Jing'an, his only daughter, smiled warmly, and said in a strong voice: "Come to Jing'an, come to the father."

All the concubines watched as Princess Jing'an, who was about to be named the Crown Princess, stumbled to His Majesty's side with the help of her mother, and was embraced by His Majesty. Their laughter spread throughout the room. In everyone's ears.

But others don't think this is good news at all.

Not at all.

The canonization of the Crown Princess not only means that the throne and the position in the court will have an heir early, but it also means that their opportunities will be reduced.

Who wants to be a concubine in the harem all his life, and when he gets old, he will be thrown into an unknown old palace, eat cold dishes, and become a concubine forgotten by the entire court?
If the concubine has no heirs, then life will be even more difficult.

Why do everyone in the harem fight?Isn’t it just for that position?

It has to be said that Jiang Yi's decision simply stepped on everyone's bottom line. Even the concubine, who was usually the gentlest, now had a faint tinge on her face.

Although His Majesty only has one princess now, it does not mean that there will be no heirs in the future.

The concubines were biting their handkerchiefs. If they hadn't been unwilling to do this, they would probably have knocked down the roof of the palace.

Finally, the queen spoke.

"Your Majesty, is this really necessary?"
