After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 235 I heard that you have a foreign wife

The empress dowager was silent, wondering why her son, who had never thought of making a queen, wanted to make her his queen after meeting Lu Shuangshuang today.

In her opinion, although Lu Shuangshuang was not bad, he was not particularly outstanding.

At least against the backdrop of those famous ladies, her shortcomings became apparent.

After all, I grew up in the countryside, and my knowledge and experience are not as good as those noble girls, let alone being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, she has an outstanding and talented brother.

If not, Lu Shuangshuang would really not be able to compare with those ladies from famous families.

But even so, the Queen Mother still felt that Lu Shuangshuang was not suitable and qualified to be the queen.

Seeing that her son's face was serious and not joking at all, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Emperor, there are so many noble girls in the capital, any one of them is more suitable to be the queen than Lu Shuangshuang. You must not be impulsive. Of course, if you are If you like her, you can take her as your concubine.”

Chu Ye knew that his mother would not agree easily, and he also knew the meaning of her words, so he said calmly: "What the mother said is true, but has she ever thought about it? Which of the ministers in the court is not entangled in family power?
Now that I have firmly secured the throne, I don’t need to win over anyone with the throne. On the contrary, if the queen is chosen from these aristocratic families, it will only strengthen their power. When the time comes, my relatives will have exclusive power, which will not be conducive to the stability of the court.

In history, are there many examples of relatives taking exclusive power? "

When the Queen Mother heard this, she fell silent.

What the son said makes sense.

Now that his son has firmly established himself as the emperor, there is really no need to select candidates from various families in order to consolidate the throne.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Chu Ye took advantage of the situation and said: "On the contrary, it's the Lu family. Their population is simple, and Lu Xingzhi doesn't have any background. He can be where he is today, all because of himself. Besides, he is an upright person and is not the kind of person who likes to play political games." Even if the queen comes from the Lu family, I don’t have to worry about my relatives having monopoly in the future.”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face softened, "So, you insist on making Lu Shuangshuang your queen, not because of love?"

Chu Ye smiled bitterly, "In the mother's mind, do you think your sons and ministers are such cowardly people?"

"It's okay if you don't." The Queen Mother felt relieved.

Chu Ye choked.

Of course he wasn't doing it for love.

Today is the first time he has met Lu Shuangshuang. To be honest, his impression of her is average. However, recently, ministers have frequently written letters asking him to establish a queen, and the queen mother always wants to seduce people into his harem. He is very annoyed. .

He has endless memorials to review every day, and he really doesn't want to waste time on this matter.

He wanted to settle things once and for all, so naturally he wanted to establish a queen as soon as possible.

He never liked women who were too noisy, but Lu Shuangshuang seemed quite quiet, so he felt that she was the best candidate.

He could tell that she wasn't very smart or had any bad intentions.

If such a person becomes his queen, he can save a lot of trouble.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the Empress Dowager said nothing more and just said: "In that case, you can figure it out yourself."

"Yeah." Chu Ye felt relieved.

On the other side, after Lu Xingzhi and others left the imperial study, they walked towards the palace gate.

After walking for a while, Qin Xuan suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at Xia Houxi, "Why are you always staring at me?"

Xia Houxi was not embarrassed when he was caught. Instead, he said with a playful smile: "Let me take a look at the future prince-in-law."

When Qin Xuan heard this, he frowned and glanced at him.

"Why, aren't you happy?" Xia Houxi poked his arm.

Qin Xuan's lips tightened and he said nothing. Xia Houxi frowned and lowered his voice: "Since you don't like the eldest princess so much, why do you have to wrong yourself and rush to marry someone else?"

In his opinion, the eldest princess has a cold temperament, is tough, and has no interest at all. The most important thing is that she wanted Qin Xuan's life just now, so ruthlessly.

In the future, Qin Xuan will become her consort, and life will probably not be easy for her.

Therefore, it is not worthwhile to spend your whole life for the so-called responsibility.

When Qin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but retorted: "I don't dislike her, and I don't feel wronged by marrying her..."

Xia Houxi looked at him strangely, "They want your life, why don't you feel aggrieved?"

Qin Xuan frowned and said, "That's because I was rude to her first. Princess...there's nothing wrong with her."

Xia Houxi couldn't help but said: "But you didn't take advantage of her..."

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then refuted: "It's not like you don't know how important reputation is to a woman, so please be careful what you say!"

Xia Houxi choked and said angrily: "I am helping you, why are you turning towards the eldest princess instead?"

Qin Xuan said helplessly: "The eldest princess is not wrong, it is me who is wrong."

Xia Houxi glanced at him and suddenly said: "Don't you think you have fallen in love with the eldest princess for a long time?"

Qin Xuan was stunned, "What are you talking about?"

Xia Houxi looked at him with a smile, "It's not a shameful thing to like someone, so there's no need to be ashamed."

Qin Xuan's forehead veins twitched, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"You know whether this is nonsense or not. I think you have been planning on the eldest princess for a long time. Today, you just took advantage of the medicine in your body to play rogue against the eldest princess." The more Xia Houxi said, the more likely he felt that this was a possibility. Looking at Qin Xuan's eyes, there was a hint of admiration, "I really want to admire you!"

Qin Xuan kicked him angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut your tongue."

Xia Houxi didn't take his threat to heart at all, and said to himself: "People say that a sophomore girl holds a gold pot. The eldest princess is only two years older than you. If you marry her home in the future, you can enjoy the blessings. "

Qin Xuanjun's face darkened, "Shut up!"

Xia Houxi was overjoyed and quickly turned to Lu Xing: "Look, this kid is so embarrassed."

Regarding the conversation between the two, Lu Xingzhi naturally heard it, and the corner of his eye twitched. He couldn't help but help Qin Xuan by saying, "Just because you are thick-skinned does not mean that others are the same as you. Also, don't judge a gentleman by your own heart." belly."

Xia Houxi said unconvinced: "What does it mean to use one's own heart to judge a gentleman's belly?"

Lu Xingzhi gave him a meaningful look, "I heard that you have a foreign wife?"

Xia Houxi choked on his own saliva and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who keeps the outside wife?"

Duke Qin and Qin Xuan both looked at him sideways.

Xia Houxi opened his mouth and wanted to retort, but thought of something and lowered his head.

"My good nephew is really promising, does your father know?" Qin Guogong patted his shoulder, his tone was intriguing.

Xia Houxi reacted and held his hand, "Shibo, please don't tell my father, he will break my legs."

The corner of Qin Guogong's mouth twitched and he withdrew his hand forcefully.

"So what Mr. Lu said is true?" Qin Xuan looked at Xia Houxi with disapproval, his eyes full of doubts.

Xia Houxi was so angry that he said, "Don't listen to Lu's nonsense. How can I raise a foreign wife? I just see her as pitiful and take her in for a while."
