The discussion outside the palace was boiling, as if someone was deliberately leading, so that the responsibility for the emperor not keeping half of the beautiful women fell on the queen. Some people said that the queen was afraid that the new beautiful women who entered the palace would be more beautiful The prince was about to be born, so she used tricks to exclude all the beautiful women. Some people said that the queen refused to accept the concubine because she wanted to fight for favor.
"Have you heard that there are rumors outside that the queen will not allow other women to be blessed by the emperor before she gives birth to the prince?"
"It's been spread so much outside, I must have heard about it, but it's been so long, and the queen doesn't seem to have any news at all."
"Are your necks itchy and you want to turn around? The queen is something you can talk about!" The older maid reprimanded the young ladies who were talking in the corner.
The little palace maid rushed away, but did not find Ye Zhen who was standing on the other side.
"Your Majesty, don't take it to heart about a group of ignorant little maids talking loudly." Hongying said to Ye Zhen.
Just when she heard those court ladies discussing, Hongying wanted to go out and scold them, but was stopped by Ye Zhen, she wanted to know what people were talking about her in and out of the palace.
"Not everything they said was wrong." Ye Zhen smiled faintly, Mo Rongzhan did not establish a concubine because of her, she has been a queen for several days, but she is indeed not yet pregnant, no wonder some people are anxious.
However, this incident was a coincidence. Why did it start to become lively after the Queen Mother left the capital
I don't know who is behind these words.
"The empress and the emperor's deep love makes some people jealous, so I made up these words to hurt you." Dai Mei said angrily, "According to the servants, these court ladies who talk badly should be arrested and killed. No one dares to talk nonsense."
Ye Zhen smiled, "What's the use of beating these maids, they are not the real masterminds behind it."
"Your Majesty..." Both Hongying and Daimei looked at her, not knowing what the Empress Dowager planned to do next.
"Since it's all been discussed like this, the emperor probably knows about it, and he will definitely let people check it out." Ye Zhen said softly, she glanced at her palm, and didn't want to go to the Royal Garden to enjoy the scenery, "Go back Bar."
"Yes, ma'am."
In fact, Ye Zhen is not without worries. She is proficient in medical skills and knows that she is in good health in all aspects. She is even better than ordinary people because of the nourishment of the spiritual spring, but why can't she get pregnant
Before they got married, Mo Rongzhan and her were already married, and even... even she sometimes forgot to take the pills, but she didn't have any signs of pregnancy, which made her a little worried. Before, she thought she was still young anyway , don't worry about it.
However, she is not in a hurry. Some people seem to be more anxious than her. If she, the queen, has not given birth to a prince, then the courtiers will definitely force the emperor to accept a concubine.
…
…
In the court hall, someone finally wrote this matter in the playbook.
"Your Majesty, the heirs of the royal family are the most important thing now. Please, the emperor will recruit concubines for the sake of the royal family. You can no longer allow a woman to dominate the harem and harm the royal heirs." It was Old Prince An who was speaking, and he was also regarded as the Mohist clan. The old man, it is most suitable for him to open the mouth.
"I think that Old Prince An's words are justified. Your majesty, heirs are important. Please invite your majesty to recruit more concubines to fill the harem and give birth to a prince as soon as possible." Master Liu, who is a cabinet minister, also stood up and said.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at them indifferently, "Others think so too, do I really need a prince?"
Elder Xu raised his eyes slightly, stood up and said, "The emperor is in his prime, when he has a prince is due to fate, not to mention that the queen has not yet had a son, I think there is no need to rush."
When he was in college, Song Qi'an said, "I think Master Xu is right. Your Majesty is young and energetic, so why worry about not having a prince? Old Prince An and Master Liu are too impatient."
"That's not true!" Old Prince An snorted, "According to the age of the emperor, the previous emperor had several princes. Your majesty, princes are important."
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curled into a slight smile, "Old Prince An, Lord Liu, are you afraid that I will die young and there will be no prince to inherit the throne?"
These words scared all the ministers to their knees.
"Your Majesty, I absolutely dare not have such thoughts." Master Liu said in fear.
"If you don't have such an idea, why is Lord Liu in such a hurry to get the prince? The queen has been in the palace for several months." Elder Xu asked calmly.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the people in the court with a smile, but his eyes were cold, "Get up, whether I want to accept a concubine or not, and when I will have a prince, these are not up to you. My eldest son can only be From the empress, I hope you all remember, don't easily... curse me for an early death."
Old Prince An and Master Liu looked at each other, and sweat broke out on their foreheads at the same time. They really underestimated the queen's position in the emperor's heart. For the sake of the queen, the emperor has no intention of establishing a concubine at all, and seems to have made up his mind to establish a queen in the future The son is the prince.
They have almost lost their power now. If the queen's son becomes the prince, the Ye family will definitely rise again. If Ye Chunnan makes military exploits again this time...
I dare not imagine how the Ye family will flourish in the future.
After going down to court, Old Prince An and Master Liu looked at each other, and they both bowed their heads and left the hall, but not long after, they gathered together in a secluded teahouse outside the palace. Apart from them, there were people in the hall who had the same opinion as them. other colleagues.
"It's a good thing for the emperor to value the fact that he is born in the first place. It's okay if the queen and the Ye family have no blood relationship. Lu Shiming is insignificant at all. Ding Potian is the head of the country, but the queen is Ye Yiqing's biological daughter. Ye Yiqing left his only son behind. I just want to help the Ye family make a comeback, if the Ye family rises again, will we have a good life in the future?" Master Liu said looking at everyone present.
"Back when the Ye family was in trouble, we were all responsible for reporting his crimes." Someone whispered, "I'm afraid someone will come to us to settle accounts."
Old Prince An nodded, "That's right, we are now afraid that someone will settle accounts with us."
"Then what should we do? The emperor refused to accept concubines, and gave away all the beautiful women. The only daughter who could stay in the palace was Mrs. Liu, but was conferred the status of female official by the queen. The emperor only favors the queen. How can we do that?" Against the Queen?"
"I heard..." Master Liu gave a gloomy smile, "The current empress is almost exactly the same as the former empress?"
"Master Liu, so what?"
"Do you still remember why the emperor hated the former empress? Wasn't it because of the abolition of the crown prince? The abolished prince was deeply in love with Ye Zhen. If he met the empress, would he make trouble like he did back then? The emperor remembered the humiliation in the past , will you continue to pamper the queen?" Master Liu asked with a smile.
Old Prince An looked at him, "It's a poisonous scheme, but it's very good."
"Hahaha… "
