Chapter 1264 The Widow Queen

However, since one of them was a legitimate royal relative and the other was a virtuous one, their identities were different and their positions were very different.

This grand court meeting actually had nothing special to offer. Except for the officials urging the emperor to appoint a queen as soon as possible, the rest was just meaningless flattery from all sides.

Regarding the officials' urging him to appoint a queen, Xiao Qichen's answer was beyond everyone's expectations: "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the stars last night and found that the Phoenix Master had been born. When the Phoenix is ​​found, I will marry the real Phoenix back to the palace."

Other ministers and royal relatives were surprised by Xiao Qichen's statement. Everyone knew that their emperor was good at everything except women. Now, except for the palace maids, there was not even a concubine in the palace, which made many people wonder if their emperor had some problems in that aspect.

At this moment, when hearing Xiao Qichen's words about establishing a queen, on the one hand, many people were overjoyed, thinking that as long as the emperor left a queen, the country would be more stable. On the other hand, there were also many court officials who had girls of marriageable age and were thinking about the queen position.

One was to figure out who the real phoenix Xiao Qichen was talking about, and the other was to think about how to turn their girls into this "real phoenix".

Only Jinchen Beile, when hearing Xiao Qichen's words, his heart suddenly jumped, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

After the court session, Jinchen Beile's premonition soon came true.

As the crowd of people leaving the court successfully walked out, the eunuch beside Xiao Qichen ran over to stop Jinchen Beile and said bluntly: "The emperor ordered you to go to the imperial study to discuss matters, Beile, hurry up and follow me."

Facing the kind or jealous eyes of many people around him, Jinchen Beile still had a decent and gentle smile on his face, suppressed his reluctance, and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.

In fact, Jinchen Beile already had a premonition in his heart, and when he saw Xiao Qichen and heard Xiao Qichen ask him: "The woman who met me on the street yesterday, is your wife's cousin?", Jinchen Beile's heart sank suddenly.

Xiao Qichen actually asked Jinchen Beile this question once yesterday, and Jinchen Beile also answered Xiao Qichen once, but this time, in the imperial study, as a monarch and a minister, he asked again, and Jinchen Beile couldn't help but secretly guess what Xiao Qichen was thinking.

However, no matter how Jinchen Beile's mind was churning, facing Xiao Qichen's question, Jinchen Beile, as a minister, had to answer.

"Your Majesty, yes."

"That's good. Tomorrow, you can use your wife's name to ask her out for me." At this point, Xiao Qichen paused again: "Oh, by the way, does this Miss Rong have any special hobbies? Go and ask together, and then come back to me."

Jinchen Beile's body froze in anxiety. Although he guessed yesterday that according to Xiao Qichen's interest in Qin Wansha yesterday, the emperor would definitely send someone to find out Qin Wansha's past, but what Jinchen Beile didn't expect was that Xiao Qichen actually abandoned his Anbu and directly called him to find out.

This time, Jinchen Beile was almost forced to do something. No matter what he did, it seemed that there would be no good results for him.

If he concealed something and was discovered by the emperor, Jinchen Beile would naturally have no good results. If he really promoted Xiao Qichen and Qin Wansha's team, Jinchen Beile felt that Miss Rong Xinlan would not be very grateful to him, not to mention... Rong Xinlan liked him.

If the emperor found out...

Thinking of this, Jinchen Beile's mood became even more complicated. He wanted to say that he didn't want to take this job, but he was facing the king of a country, and a young hegemon with hegemony and deep thoughts. He couldn't refuse the other party's order.

So, Jinchen Beile could only bite the bullet and agree, but he was thinking about how to ruin the matter between Xiao Qichen and Qin Wansha.

Until he left the palace, Jinchen Beile's heart was still full of deep thoughts.

Just like what Rong Huilan said to him yesterday, Jinchen Beile did not ignore it.

At this moment, Jinchen Beile had lost the calmness he had when he stabilized Rong Huilan yesterday. He was very clear that now, he and Rong Huilan's family were already grasshoppers on the same boat. According to Rong Huilan's words, Qin Wansha's resentment towards their family, Jinchen Beile could easily imagine what would happen to his Beile Mansion after Qin Wansha became the mother of a country.

When he thought that his great ambitions might be unresolved, Jinchen Beile deeply understood that Qin Wansha would never be allowed to enter the palace, let alone ascend to the throne of the phoenix.

However, the current situation was a little more difficult to resolve than what Jinchen Beile had said to Rong Huilan.

The real phoenix obtained by observing the stars in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the emperor was building momentum for Rong Xinlan, Jinchen Beile's lips suddenly curled up, and at the same time, he stepped on the back of the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground as a horse stool and strode into the carriage.

What Prince Jinchen didn't know was that shortly after he left, Xiao Qichen had actually changed into casual clothes, and then followed him out of the palace with a few of his trusted guards and the eunuch who served him personally.

The reason why Xiao Qichen specifically instructed Prince Jinchen to do this was naturally intentional. Although he and Qin Wansha had not really talked in detail in this world, the information he sent people to collect overnight yesterday had already made Xiao Qichen guess who the key figure in this world was.

Thinking about the appearance of Prince Jinchen he had just seen in the imperial study, he was elegant and had a strong scholarly aura, but there was nothing else. How could such a person be worthy of his Wanwan's love?

Xiao Qichen's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm - a joke.

The carriage drove all the way towards Rong Bo's Mansion, and as the person that Xiao Qichen was thinking about, Qin Wansha was sitting in a damp and even moldy room, facing Xi Que, who was on the bed with tears and resentment in her eyes.

Qin Wansha had seen this look in Xi Que's eyes many times, but this time, the person Xi Que was targeting was no longer her.

"You'd better think about it carefully. You said you want to serve me, but that's equivalent to betraying your master. I'm afraid the old lady won't tolerate you anymore." Qin Wansha had actually chosen the girl named Xi Que as the head maid in her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered to come here again.
