Queen is fearless

Chapter 437 Doubt
"Your Majesty?" After the two edicts were read out, Yuan Bao stepped aside, and immediately a minister stood up with doubts in his voice.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Jing's eyes turned around in the hall, he turned his head, looked at Gu Jinzhi, gave her a comforting look, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the direct prince has just turned one year old, and you are in your prime. Is it too early to be a crown prince now?"

After hesitating for a moment, the minister opened his mouth and expressed his inner thoughts.

"I ask you, who was the son of the prince?" Zhou Jing didn't answer his words, but threw the question back.

"Back to the emperor, the direct son is the son of the emperor and the empress." The people didn't care much about Yuan Zhen being made the eldest princess, they only cared about Yuan Cheng being made the prince.

"Yuan Cheng is the direct son of me and the empress, and also the eldest son of this palace. No matter where you come from, the position of prince is justified."

Originally, Zhou Jing planned to make Yuan Cheng the crown prince when he was three or four years old.

After all, Yuan Cheng is still young, he is only one year old now, even if he is smart, he cannot be enlightened prematurely.

In the harem, there has always been turmoil, and it finally calmed down, but it was time for the draft.

He originally wanted to use the theory of astrology to prevent newcomers from entering the palace, so that the harem could be kept silent.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, the theory of astrology was deciphered.

If the newcomers were not allowed to enter the palace, the empress would definitely be involved. He knew what the courtiers were up to, so naturally he would not allow it to happen.

Let the newcomer enter the palace, for the favor of the emperor, for the heir of the emperor, and even for the crown prince. I don't know what else this woman in the harem can do.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with confirming the crown prince's position earlier, he will send more people to protect Fengyang Palace and the children, and not give anyone a chance to harm them.

The crown prince's position has been decided, and it is useless for anyone to enter the palace again. Apart from thinking about himself, those people will not be able to think about other things.

Over time, those who want to send the daughters of the family to the palace can rest their minds, because even if they are sent to the palace, they will get nothing.

"This..." Zhou Jing's words left the minister speechless.

What else can I say?There is nothing wrong with the emperor's words. As the eldest son, becoming the prince is a legitimate thing.

But it is a question of sooner or later, it just advances the time.

"I don't need to say anything else, I have made up my mind, the imperial decree has been issued, and I will choose a day to hold the canonization ceremony."

"You people have meddled in the affairs of my harem, and now you still want to intervene in the decided matter of establishing a crown prince. Is it true that the next step is to take my throne?"

When he said this, Zhou Jing's tone was very light, and it sounded like he said it casually, but made everyone in the hall kneel down.

The ministers of the court can indeed intervene in the matter of establishing an heir, but right now, there is only such a prince in the harem, and there is no other candidate besides him.

Besides, no one can say anything about his identity.

As for the affairs of the harem, it stands to reason that the ministers of the court should not be involved, but they are involved in it, and they are well aware of why they are involved.

Seeing everyone knelt down, Zhou Jing snorted coldly, took Gu Jinzhi's hand, and came to the Queen Mother.

"Empress, I really miss the desserts in your palace, especially those made by Grandma Liu. Could you let Erchen bring the children back to the palace with you, so that Grandma Liu can work hard?"

Gu Jinzhi looked at the queen mother, smiled and said, she understood what the emperor meant.

"Grandma Liu?" The queen mother supported Gu Jinzhi's hand, stood up, and turned to look at Grandma Liu.

"The empress's words are really polite. How can there be any hard work? If you want to eat, just give me an order, and this old slave will make it for you."

Facing Gu Jin's blessed body, Mammy Liu responded, Zhou Jing and one of Gu Jin supported the queen mother and walked out of the hall.

Behind him, there were palace servants holding Yuan Zhen and Yuan Cheng, followed by three distinguished people.

Everyone was still kneeling on the ground, unexpectedly they left suddenly, looking at each other for a while.

It wasn't until the group of people left Yanqing Palace that everyone in the hall stood up, looked at me, looked at you, and finally looked at the dishes on the table.

Let's go if you want to, and you are afraid that the emperor will be unhappy if he finds out.

If you don't leave, all the people in the temple who shouldn't leave will leave, and they will be the only ones left. It's really not a good choice.

Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi sat down separately and ate the food on the table. It was carefully prepared, and it would be a pity to waste it.

The concubines of the harem, when they saw the two of them, they all imitated their appearance and ate the food on the table slowly.

On the other side, the members of the Gu family also sat down, chatting casually while eating, as if this was not a palace, but a home.

The family had nothing to fear and nothing to worry about.

Those who were established as the crown prince and the eldest princess were all born to the daughters of the Gu family. Their family is the natal family of the prince and the eldest princess. This is something to be happy about.

Officials who had good relations with the Gu family came to congratulate them with wine glasses.

Those who were still thinking about sending their daughters to the palace and having a child to compete for the crown prince's position didn't look very good, after all, the position of crown prince had already been determined.

Even if a girl in the family enters the palace, wins the favor, and can give birth to a prince, it is impossible to change the candidate easily.

It is very likely that after the girl in the family enters the palace, not only will she not be able to give birth to a prince, she will not even be able to see the emperor, and she will be wasted in the palace for the rest of her life.

For a while, some people began to regret it. If they knew it earlier, it would be better to wait for the time being. Even if they knew that the theory of astrology was false, they would pretend not to know and bring it up in a few years, so what?

Anyway, the emperor will not move out the matter of establishing a reserve so early.

Now that the crown prince has been established, it's too late to think about anything!

Members of the royal family, look around and see that many people have sat down, so they also sit down, regardless of whether they eat or not, anyway, they will not be the first to leave.

To them, it doesn't really matter who becomes the prince, as long as it is the blood of the royal family and recognized by the emperor.

Besides, there are no other princes in the harem right now, isn't it a matter of time before the direct prince becomes the prince?

If you want them to say, this group of ministers are looking for trouble for nothing, first to make the emperor lose face, saying that no newcomers will be admitted to the palace, and after it becomes a draft, newcomers will definitely enter the palace.

Then when the emperor was in a good mood and appointed the crown prince and the eldest princess, he said something and nothing, and it was not fun for the emperor, it was all idle!
