Chapter 35 Who is worthy of the position of Queen
“Meet my father, I have completed the homework assigned by the Taifu.”
It turns out that Ji Qing was detained in class to do his homework. Wu looked at Yuan Heng who looked like a snow dumpling and couldn't move his eyes away.
Earlier she didn’t know that Yuan Heng was her son, but now that she knew it, she only regretted that she didn’t hug him more that day.
Yuan Heng went directly to the north seat and sat side by side with King Yong. His small body sat upright, his jade face was cold, and he already had the demeanor of a gentleman.
Ji Qingwu's gaze remained fixed in that direction and never moved again.
Not long after, Emperor Wu Su said: "Yuanheng, come to my father."
Yuanheng's dark eyes were full of confusion.
I began to think about whether I had done anything to make my father angry again today.
He walked to Emperor Wu Su with short legs and a heavy face.
Ji Qingwu's eyes were still following Yuan Heng closely. Looking at his expression, it was clear that he was reluctant and a little fearful.
She thought about Yuan Heng getting slapped twenty times because of the dispute with Yan Yushi's grandson. Ji Changlin, an adult, had red palms, but how could a child as old as Yuan Heng endure it?
Ji Qingwu glared at Emperor Wu Su with reproachful eyes, blaming him for being too cruel to his son.
As a result, he was caught alive by the man sitting high in front of the palace.
Emperor Wu Su raised his eyebrows and half-squinted his eyes. Ji Qingwu quickly lowered his head.
What's going on? The emperor even has eyes on the back of his head!
Emperor Wu Su took a long time to look away, and said in a deep voice to Yuan Heng in front of him: "Just sit next to me."
Yuan Heng was young and mature, but he was also shocked by his father's words. When he arrived, he attended the palace banquet and never sat next to the emperor.
He frowned and said, "Yes."
Other people who often attended palace banquets also secretly marveled at how strict Emperor Wu Su was in raising the young prince. He was not merciful because he was his only heir, but today he had thoughts of getting close to the prince.
Eunuch Li added a chair next to the emperor, and the father and son worked together. The same sharp black eyes first looked at Nan Xi in unison.
Ji Qingwu lowered his head and quietly pretended to be a quail.
The two of them turned back to look at each other as if nothing had happened.
The Queen Mother was also happy to have the opportunity to get close to the young prince. After the last incident of falling into the water, Yuan Heng moved from Guanju Palace, where the concubine Wei lived, to live alone in Yongning Palace.
"Yuanheng, the emperor's grandmother has not seen you for some time. Are you afraid of living in Yongning Palace by yourself?"
"No."
Yuan Heng's answer was concise and concise, directly cutting off what the Queen Mother wanted to say later.
The Queen Mother's expression choked up, and she sighed in a fake way. She changed her approach and started to bring up the old things again, "Although Concubine Wei did not fulfill her duty of care last time, fortunately, the niece of the Ai family He is brave and kind-hearted, otherwise Yuan Heng will be in trouble."
Concubine Wei, who was named, put down her wine glass, nodded with a smile and said: "The Queen Mother. , What you said is exactly what you said. I am also very grateful to Miss Ji. However, Your Majesty has already dealt with this matter. The Luo Meiren who was the mastermind behind the scenes has also committed suicide. The men of the Luo family have been exiled and all the women have been consigned to slavery. You If you mention it again, won't it frighten His Highness Yuan Heng? "
Ji Qingwu has long known that the Queen Mother and Concubine Wei don't like each other, and it is common for them to choke each other.
But one person said, "Yuan Heng is in danger," and the other said, "I will give him a slave status, but he is afraid of scaring Yuan Heng." They clearly did not really care about his safety.
Ji Qingwu frowned, looking at Yuan Heng's cold appearance, he seemed to have been used to it for a long time.
The Queen Mother continued: "This matter has passed, but there is one more thing. Is it time for some new people to be admitted to the emperor's harem? If the Ai family remembers correctly, the last draft was two years ago." Wu Emperor Su's harem was nothing compared to the previous dynasties. Emperor Liang's harem had three thousand beauties, while Emperor Wu Su's harem only had a dozen or so lonely people.
A few years ago, it was the first draft after the new emperor ascended the throne. The balance of power between the previous dynasty and the harem had to be taken into consideration. Those selected into the palace were all the daughters of meritorious officials, but there was no discipline. My daughter, now that the country is stable, I can choose some women that the emperor likes.
The noble ladies in the palace all sat upright, and some even secretly used lipstick to touch up their lips.
Emperor Wu Su looked pale and did not respond.
The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and said with a headache: "Your Majesty, the Ai family has taken care of the Sixth Palace, but now that I am older, my energy and physical strength are not as good as before. It is time to establish a queen."
From talent show girls to After standing up, the emperor raised his eyes and asked: "Who does the queen mother think is worthy of the throne?"
The position of queen, noble ladies from aristocratic families would not dare to think about it. Concubine Wei is so beautiful and beautiful, and she has such a capable brother. , even cannot sit on this throne.
Ji Qingyuan raised her head like a victorious fighting cock, with extraordinary confidence in herself.
The most sober person in the palace is Ji Qingwu.
She shook her head slightly. The Queen Mother was in the whirlpool of the harem and had already been blinded by power.
The most unlikely candidate for the throne is a woman from the Ji family.
Last time at the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Cui's words also woke her up. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Queen Mother's mother's family, the Ji family, became the dominant family. Taking lessons from the previous dynasty, she had already The emperor was jealous.
If a Queen of the Ji family is established, the only prince will naturally be raised by the Queen, the legitimate mother. The young son will be close to her, and the mother's family is powerful. In case of disobedience
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor's expression. Then he said: "The Ai family believes that in addition to satisfying the emperor, it is better to choose a queen who has a noble status and can treat Yuan Heng sincerely."
This idea is obvious.
The Queen Mother is from the Ji family, and her niece Ji Qingwu saved the prince who fell into the water regardless of his safety. In everyone's eyes, the Ji family takes great care of the prince, but the only unmarried girl left is Ji Qingyuan.
“What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true, but it also depends on whether Yuan Heng likes it or not.”
Hearing that Emperor Wu Su relented, the Queen Mother felt joyful and pointed at Ji Qingyuan at the south table, "Your Majesty, grandson, look at the woman in the red dress over there, do you have eyes for her?"
Ji Qingyuan said to her gently. Look at him and smile.
The pressure suddenly shifted to Yuan Heng, but he directly looked away and said with a cold face: "Go back to the imperial grandmother, my grandson doesn't like it."
Ji Qingyuan's smile froze on her face On top of that, she was smiling but not smiling, which looked a bit ridiculous, and the Queen Mother also closed her mouth in a sarcastic manner.
Emperor Wu Su said with a smile: "Is there anyone in the palace that my son likes?"
Yuan Heng's eyes immediately locked onto one person.
Ji Qingwu didn't dare to raise her head and stared at the snack plate in front of her. Although her little guy liked her and she was moved in her heart, she could not make her a target.
“There is someone I like, but if she becomes my mother-in-law——”
Yuan Heng seemed to have made up his mind and said loudly: “My son, I will not Happy!"
Emperor Wu Su was surprised: "Why?"
Yuan Heng glanced at the emperor, pursed his lips, then leaned over and whispered something in Emperor Wu Su's ear.
Everyone saw that the emperor's face darkened instantly.
Yuan Heng's little heart was pounding. Seeing that his father was angry, although he was scared, he still held his neck and resisted, determined to stick to his decision.
