Chapter 535

"What if I don't want her to be a queen?"

"This..." Liu Dequan was startled, "My lord, if this concubine is not a queen, it is not in line with the ancestral etiquette. How can the clan and ministers agree? Besides, it will also hurt the hearts of the crown princess and the Jin family."

Zhao Yuanjing said indifferently: "Liu Dequan, you have been with me for more than ten years, you should know what's on my mind."

"The servant dare not speculate on the holy will."

"Stop pretending." Zhao Yuanjing snorted.

Liu Dequan just laughed: "Actually, this old slave knows in his heart that the emperor dotes on Concubine Yun, and at the beginning he wanted to make her the crown princess. Now that the emperor succeeds to the throne, he naturally wants Concubine Yun to be the queen. But this old slave said something damn , This is absolutely impossible. Since ancient times, concubine and concubines have been different. If Concubine Yunzai is allowed to be the queen, what will the Crown Princess do? Besides, Concubine Yunzai already has the eldest son of the emperor, and her status is unshakable. Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for yourself. gone."

He wanted to risk the disgrace of the world, the new emperor ascended the throne, his position was unstable, and he was opposed by the former court and the harem, that was absolutely impossible.

Zhao Yuanjing didn't speak, but looked down at the notebook.

Liu Dequan didn't dare to say any more.

After Zhao Shu left the palace, he returned to Prince Qin's mansion, and Ming Lao Hou Ye hadn't left yet.

Even a cup of tea was tasteless after he drank it.

Seeing Zhao Shu come back, he stood up with a wry smile and said, "Seventh Prince, you really made me wait so hard!"

Zhao Shu hurriedly went over to make an apology, "Don't blame Hou Ye, it's because I was away from Beijing yesterday and didn't come back."

Lord Ming Hou also knew that he was now the new emperor's most trusted prince, so popular in the court that most people would never see him.

He didn't rely on the old to sell the old, and said with a smile: "The old man is very free now, not as busy as the prince."

"Master Hou, please sit down," Zhao Shu turned to tell the housekeeper, "Prepare some food, Master Hou and I will eat and chat."

Old Master Hou Ming had only drank a few cups of tea since morning, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he was not polite to him, and he would eat with his cheeks off when he sat on the table.

Until half a pot of rice was eaten, it was almost mixed.

Only then did he pick up the wine glass, drank a glass of wine, and sighed comfortably.

Zhao Shu watched with a smile all the time.

Old Master Ming wiped his mouth, and said with a hearty smile: "The appearance of the old man eating, didn't you scare the Seventh Prince?"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Where is the Hou Ye? I am also from the army. I know that Hou Ye is used to eating with the soldiers."

The army was tough, and during wars, they often had nothing to eat for several days, and had to use one meal for four or five meals. Over time, they developed the habit of eating fast and eating a lot.

It's funny to look at, but it's sad when you look closely.

Lord Ming said happily: "That's right, I'm used to dealing with people like the Seventh Prince. Those other civil servants are really annoying to death."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "If Master Hou is not enough, I will ask the housekeeper to serve another pot of rice."

"Enough is enough. The old man is here to talk to the prince, not to eat the big family." Master Ming said with a smile, "The old man is here this time to ask the prince about my little granddaughter. This There were many things going on in Beijing for a few days, and I couldn't find out the whereabouts of the child. I begged to see the emperor several times, but I was ashamed to see him. Hey!"

Because of King Lu's rebellion, the current situation of the Hou Mansion is a bit embarrassing.

The matter of Zhao Yuanjing's injury was not publicized to the courtiers outside, and the Hou's Mansion didn't know about it, so they thought it was the emperor's anger on the Hou's Mansion and refused to see them.
