The Queen Mother had the same idea as Ning Chen.
But Ning Chen still has a selfish motive. Although he does not have a queen at the moment, it does not mean that he does not have a candidate in mind.
Naturally, he preferred Ye Yun.
But if Ye Jun is made the queen now, she will inevitably become the public enemy of the harem, and the Fourth Prince is still young, so this is too dangerous.
The Queen Mother did not gain any advantage on this topic, so she tactfully stopped talking about it.
The emperor was kept for dinner and then sent away early.
"He doesn't want to make Ye his queen."
The empress dowager had a gloomy expression on her face, leaning back in a chair while her legs were massaged by her servant.
Madam Fu lowered her eyes and said, "From what I can see, it's not necessarily that she doesn't want to, but she restrains herself because she dotes on her."
The emperor's favor for Ming Zhaoyuan did not seem to be fake. The two of them were seen by servants more than once, and they always held hands when they went out for a walk.
To take a step back, eyes never lie.
"I just don't understand. Is Ye Shi so good? It's like the emperor was drugged." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her eyes full of disgust. "In my opinion, she is not the most beautiful in the harem, and her temper is even more erratic and domineering. How can she be a concubine?"
Nanny Fu didn't respond, but just lowered her eyes and listened to the Queen Mother's complaints.
It is not appropriate for a servant to speak ill of his master. Besides, the empress dowager cannot stand any opposition nowadays. If she insists on saying something, just listen.
As for whether Ming Zhaoyuan is good or not, that depends on the emperor's feelings, and cannot be influenced by the queen mother's words.
"Why don't you speak?" The Queen Mother calmed down and looked at the servant who had followed her for many years.
Madam Fu smiled apologetically, "I am old and my energy is a little weak."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother also sighed and said, "You are old, and I am old too. But the Emperor is in his prime."
The words were vague and Aunt Fu didn't know whether she understood them or not, but she didn't respond anyway.
He helped the Queen Mother into the inner room to rest.
On the other side, Ning Chen came out of Cining Palace and returned to Jiuchen Palace.
I felt somewhat unhappy after this conversation with the Queen Mother.
If the Queen Mother had really been thinking about him and the harem and had proposed the matter of establishing a queen, he would not have felt uncomfortable even if he disagreed with the Queen Mother.
But today, the Queen Mother's intention was clearly to test him and influence the selection of the Queen.
Ning Chen really didn't like this kind of behavior.
No emperor likes to have his decisions influenced by others, even if that person is his biological mother.
It is true that filial piety is the most important virtue, but when sitting in this position, one must first talk about responsibility and consider the country first.
However, Ning Chen had no intention of establishing a queen, but there were people who had their eyes on the position.
Yi Shunyi learned from the news that came from somewhere today that the emperor intended to make Ye Yun the queen.
“If the emperor makes Ming Zhaoyuan the empress, then the fourth prince will become the legitimate son, and then…” Yunxiu’s expression changed.
There is no need to say more about this.
In all dynasties, the crown prince has always been chosen by the legitimate son first, and then the eldest son if there is no legitimate son, and finally the most talented one.
The Third Prince is not the eldest son, and currently has no legitimate son, so he still has a chance to work on his virtue. But if the Fourth Prince becomes the legitimate son, then he will lose most of his chances.
"Is this news accurate?" Yi Shunyi looked at the people below her irritably.
It was Li Wanrong who came to pay her respects.
Li hesitated and said, "Although I cannot confirm its accuracy, Shunyi thinks that Ming Zhaoyuan is so favored, has a good family background, is young, and has given birth to a prince. She is qualified to be the queen."
He paused, then lowered his voice again.
"Shunyi, don't forget, in the entire harem, except for the deceased Xie, Ming Zhaoyuan is the only one who was personally granted marriage by the late emperor."
This also means that Ye Jun has another title, that is, the woman recognized by the late emperor.
Since it has been recognized by the late emperor, it is naturally a good thing.
Therefore, as long as the emperor wants to, Ye Jun is qualified in all aspects, whether it is family background, filial piety, or offspring.
"What you said makes sense, but if the emperor intends to make her the queen, what can I do?"
Yi Shunyi rubbed her forehead in annoyance.
"My father is only a second-rank official. Although he has done a lot for the emperor and contributed a lot, he has nothing to show for his achievements. It's not like Ye's family, where my brother and father have made real military achievements. Although my maternal grandfather's family is a merchant, they have also helped enrich the emperor's treasury for many years."
Over the years, her eyes have always been on the harem.
It was not until his son grew up that he slowly began to think about the affairs of the previous dynasty.
It was at this time that she discovered that Ye Jun had already gradually promoted her family.
Maybe because of her, or maybe because of her own abilities, her family gradually became a solid backing for her.
Looking at her own family, the Wu family, there has indeed not been much progress.
It was also at this time that Yi Shunyi looked Ye Jun in the eye.
This woman's methods and vision are absolutely incomparable to those of ordinary people.
However, no matter how powerful someone is, they still have to fight.
Li Wanrong sat down below and looked at Yi Shunyi calmly for a few times. When she saw her dark eyes, she knew what to say.
"Shun Yi, I do have a solution. Although it may not work forever, it will work for the next one or two years."
"What's the method? Tell me about it." Yi Shunyi glanced at her indifferently.
Anyway, we might as well give it a try. It doesn't take much time to listen.
But unexpectedly, Li actually came up with a good idea.
But this matter still requires the cooperation of others and takes some time to arrange.
But as long as it works, it's fine. At least it worked. In the past year or two, the emperor has been unable to make Ye the queen.
The longer you can postpone it, the better.
Zhao Chunxuan.
Ye Jun had just finished washing up and lay down when he sneezed.
She wiped it with a handkerchief and wondered who was thinking about her again.
"Did Zhaoyuan catch a cold? Let's ask Doctor Shen to come and check your pulse tomorrow." Nan Zhi said.
Ye Jun shook his head, "It's okay, my nose just itches a little."
"We need to be more careful. Let's ask Doctor Shen to take a look. We'll feel more at ease after he takes a look." Huiyue said as she closed two windows.
Only the farthest one was left with a gap about the width of a fist for ventilation.
Unable to persuade the two girls, Ye Jun had to agree.
After lying down, I remembered something.
"You two are of age now, do you have someone you like? If so, I will take a look and arrange the marriage as soon as possible. If not, I will ask mother to watch over you outside the palace."
After saying this, both girls blushed.
Nan Zhi lowered her head and said, "I will serve Zhao Yuan for the rest of my life and will never marry."
"Nonsense, there's no good girl who wouldn't get married." Ye Jun looked at her with a smile, "I also want to see which two lucky men can marry the one next to me."
This made the two of them even more embarrassed.
But in the end they all expressed their willingness to follow Ye Yun's arrangements. After all, they had been serving Ye Yun since they were young and had never come into contact with any other men, so it was not a question of liking anyone.
After obtaining the consent of the two maids, Ye Yun prepared to send a message outside the palace the next day, asking her mother to keep an eye out for a suitable candidate.
Anyway, even if you get married, you can still come in and serve, just like the two female officials Mo Yu and Liang Yu in Jiuchen Palace. They come in to serve during the day and leave the palace and go home at night.
It just so happens that Luzhi, Luhe, Lumei and Kongqing have also been well trained and can basically take charge of their own affairs.
