The Imperial Palace of the Suzaku Kingdom, the Imperial Study Room.
Duanmuxue held the memorial, but her heart was not in the memorial at all.
I don't know where Che and Xi'er are. They should arrive in two days.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing, is asking for an audience." Hongfeng entered the palace and reported in a low voice.
Duanmu Xuedai frowned slightly, what was she doing here again
"Xuan."
"No." Hongfeng bowed and exited the imperial study.
A moment later, Duan Muzhuang walked in, bowed to Duan Muxue and said, "See Your Majesty the Queen."
"No courtesy, stay on your own."
Duanmu Shuang stood up as he was told, with his head bowed.
"Why did the imperial sister Mingyue come here?"
Duanmuxue glanced at Duanmushuang and threw the twist in Dong's leg directly.
"Let me tell you, Your Majesty, if that's the case, Qing'er likes a man and wants to marry him as a true king, so I, Mingyue, came here to ask Your Majesty to marry him."
After knowing the purpose of his visit, Duanmuxue picked up the tea cup on the table, lightly brewed two things, took a sip, and then spoke leisurely.
"Oh? I wonder which young master Qing'er is interested in?"
Upon hearing the question, Duanmu Shuang immediately bowed and said, "No, Si Yunhan, the legitimate son of General Si Ruxu."
Duanmu Xuefeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a playful smile overflowed from her lips. The emperor's sister was very serious about not giving up.
She also knew the child Si Yunhan. He used to play with Xi'er, and she originally planned to leave it to Xi'er.
She could tell whether Xi'er liked that boy, but she didn't expect that Xi'er had just left for more than a year, and he would...
If that's the case, then she can help them. Such a man is not worthy of her Xi'er.
Early in the morning in Yiyue, Hongfeng entered the general's mansion holding Minghuang's imperial edict.
"Please ask Si Yunhan, the son of the general, to take over the order."
"Your Majesty, Si Yunhan, accepts the order." Si Yunhan, with a pale face, knelt to the east to receive the order.
He didn't expect that the imperial edict would come so quickly, and there would be no chance of going back on it that time.
"By God's blessing, the Queen issued an edict: Si Yunhan, the son of our great general, is both talented and handsome, gentle and kind-hearted, respectful and sensitive, possessing both political integrity and talent... I specially give Duan Muqing, the daughter of Prince Jing, to be the true daughter of the world, and we will marry you on the right month. this."
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
Si Yunhan took the imperial edict and knelt on the ground without getting up for a long time.
…
In the Suzaku Hall, all the ministers stood listlessly.
"Let's ask, will your Majesty the Queen not come to the morning court again tomorrow?"
"Yes, Keke, I haven't been in the morning court for half a month."
"I heard that the Queen's illness has recovered. Why don't you come to court?"
"Who knows?"
"Your Majesty the Queen has arrived..."
Upon hearing the singing, the ministers immediately fell silent and stood still.
Duanmuxue, wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe and a golden phoenix crown, slowly walked into the Suzaku Hall and walked on the jade steps.
"See Your Majesty the Queen, long live the Queen, long live the Queen..."
All the ministers knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty, please get back on your feet." Duanmuxue raised her legs to support her.
"Thank you, Bhidong."
After all the ministers stood up, Hongfeng, who was standing on the left side of Duanmuxue, took a step forward and sang loudly.
"If there is something to do, we will start to act; if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court..."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
A middle-aged woman wearing a purple official uniform walked out of the queue and bowed to Duanmuxue.
Ji Sufen, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"speak."
Ji Sufen bowed and lowered her eyes, "The sixth day of the Eastern lunar month is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Dong. I wonder if it will be arranged as usual."
Hearing this, Duanmuxue glanced at Didong's ministers and saw that they had different expressions. Her purple eyes flashed and her red lips parted.
"Of course, I'm not just asking for a solution, I'm asking for a big solution."
Duanmuxue's words caused a commotion among the ministers, and none of them knew why.
"The lady's master has been missing for more than a year, so why do you want to hold a big birthday party for the queen's master?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen, must be looking forward to seeing things and missing people."
"Hey, no matter how big the birthday banquet is, the queen will never come back."
…
"no"
Although Ji Sufen didn't know what was going on, she still bowed in response, then returned to her position and stood up.
A cold light flashed in Duanmu Shuang's eyes, and she curled her lips disdainfully.
She didn't really think that her good-for-nothing daughter would come back safely.
Duanmu Shuang secretly glanced at Qin Zhen, the Prime Minister of the Left.
Qin Zhen immediately took a step to the right and bowed to Duan Muxue.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Duanmuxue narrowed her eyes slightly.
"speak."
Qin Zhen lowered her head and said: "The princess of the palace has been missing for more than a year. I am asking your Majesty to appoint another princess to appease the people."
A sneer appeared on Duanmuxue's lips.
Sure enough, the princess is really serious about this matter.
Seeing that Duanmuxue refused to shut up, General Si Ruxu also stood up and bowed to Duanmuxue.
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
Duanmuxue looked at Si Ruxu coldly, her eyes far-reaching.
When all the ministers saw that the left prime minister and the general were proposing to appoint another concubine, some ministers who had good relations with them and those petty officials who wanted to flatter them also stood up and seconded the proposal.
For a moment, the words "Wei Chen seconded the proposal" resounded throughout the Suzaku Hall.
Duanmuxue's pretty face looked gloomy and scary. Unexpectedly, more than half of the ministers in the court disowned the emperor's sister.
"Wei Chen does not agree with Lord Zuo Xiang's proposal."
Just when the air pressure in the Suzaku Hall was frighteningly low, a young and delicate woman stood up.
Seeing Right Minister He Min, Duanmuxue's expression softened slightly.
She liked that He Min. He was young and promising. He always had some good suggestions and helped her a lot in political affairs.
"Tell me what I think."
"Wei Chen believes that there is no big fault in the disappearance of the Queen Mother, and the Queen should not be abolished now. Moreover, the Queen is still young, so there is no need to worry about establishing another Princess."
Duanmuxue nodded and looked at the young woman standing in the front on the right.
"What do you think of Prince Rui?"
King Rui Duanmu Fei is handsome and heroic.
When she heard the question, she took a step forward, bowed and said, "I agree with your right minister's idea."
"I think what Zuo Xiang said is reasonable. The concubine Dong is missing and the Queen is seriously ill. The appointment of another concubine in the early months can also help relieve the Queen's worries."
As soon as Duanmu Fei finished speaking, Duanmu Shuang stood up.
Duanmu Fei sneered mockingly.
"Hmph, have you forgotten the clan rules of Emperor Taizu? There is no princess in the royal family who can be made the princess."
All the ministers pricked up their ears curiously. Royal secrets are always what they like to hear the most.
A flash of anger flashed in Duanmu Shuang's eyes, and she glared at Duanmu Fei fiercely.
Duanmuxue looked at the livid Duanmushuang, with a sneer on her lips.
The two princes who held military power were directly at fault. None of the ministers dared to say anything.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the Suzaku Hall was a bit strange.
Just when the hall was silent, Hongye walked in from outside the hall, bowed to Duan Muxue and whispered something.
Duanmuxue looked at Hongye with a look of surprise and nodded.
Hongye immediately understood and sang loudly.
"Xuanfeng has an audience in the east of the rear hall..."
