The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 159: Curtain Red Makeup (8)

The decline of Jianjia Palace has made Hehuan Palace a glorious place. Today's Xia Lanyue is not as cold and aloof as before. She no longer refuses the concubines who come to visit, and orders Qiu Bi to accept all the gifts they give.Everyone in the harem knows how to follow the wind. Now Xia Lanyue not only has honor and favor, but the third prince is very likely to be crowned prince. Naturally, there are not a few who want to curry favor.

In the past few days, there was another dispute in the previous dynasty. The empress dowager and the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty agreed that Xia Lanyue came from a lowly family background, and the third prince was naturally not qualified to be crowned prince. This matter has remained stalemate until now.

In the morning court today, the ministers began to bring up the old matter again, Zhang Jiao, the doctor of the censor, said: "Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious about canonizing the crown prince. I heard that Concubine Jing gave birth to four princes recently, and her identity is the princess of Qi. If the emperor Being able to establish the four princes as the crown prince will bring the relationship between Wei and Qi closer, and it will be of great benefit to strengthening the foundation of the country and the country."

Zhongshu Ling Chen Bingyi also echoed: "I think Master Zhang is very reasonable. Now it seems that the fourth prince is the most qualified to inherit the crown prince because of his mother. I hope that the emperor will be careful."

At this point, several ministers were going to go forward to join in, but they heard the emperor above the court shout angrily: "Bold!" and immediately dared not speak any more.

"A royal doctor, a Zhongshu Ling, mentioned Shi Jingrou in front of me in this court, a woman who poisoned my queen, and wanted me to make her son a crown prince, what absurdity! Su Chen's rage made Zhang Jiao and Chen Bingyi immediately kneel down.

Zhang Jiao said self-righteously: "The emperor calm down, the ministers think that the matter of Concubine Jing poisoning the Empress is quite suspicious. Your Majesty, if you can pardon the concubine to leave the Lanting Water Pavilion this time, you must conduct a thorough investigation..."

"I am pardoning the noble concubine this time only because I think of her meritorious service in giving birth to the fourth prince, and for the safety of the concubine Zhen's mother and child. I want all of you to remember that merit is merit, and demerit is demerit, and merit cannot be overwhelmed." In the future, if anyone dares to mention the appointment of the fourth prince as the crown prince, I will definitely not forgive you!" Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his words were fierce and fierce, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes: "All of you said that Concubine Zhen came from a humble background. , the third prince is not qualified to be crowned prince. Then I will appoint Concubine Zhen as the queen, and the third prince is the son, and it is justified to be the crown prince."

The whole court suddenly fell silent, and suddenly all the ministers knelt down for a little while, and said in unison: "Please think twice before acting, Your Majesty."

Mu Piaoyu, who stood at the front, stood upright in the court, and the ministers who followed him behind him also stood respectfully, calmly.

"I think that it is the emperor's family business to register the empress and the prince, and you are too lenient to interfere." Mu Piaoyu's words came out calmly, very cold and arrogant.

Chen Bingyi retorted: "General Mu's words are wrong. The queen's mother honors the world, and the crown prince is the future monarch of Wei. These are all related to the world's major affairs. How can you say that this is just a family matter?"

Mu Piaoyu said lightly: "The concubine Zhen is not yet the queen, and the third prince is not the prince. At this time, they do not belong to this world, they only belong to the emperor. If Mr. Chen wants to take care of it, then he will wait until the concubine Zhen becomes the queen and the third prince becomes the prince." Let the prince take care of it."

Chen Bingyi has always been at odds with Mu Piaoyu, and when he said this, his temper immediately turned up, and he said coldly: "It is a state affair to appoint a queen and a prince, and the duty of ministers is to do their best for the community. Wei Guo."
