Chapter 135 The Queen
Ripples merged into a body again. Before opening his eyes, he heard louder and louder arguments, and the sounds became sharper and louder, even a little harsh.
She didn't open her eyes in a hurry. After feeling it carefully, her brows wrinkled slightly, and then she opened her eyes sharply, and her sharp eyes swept across the people arguing below.
The female official in court uniform immediately stepped forward and shouted:
"Quiet! How unbecoming is it to make such a noise in the court hall!"
The people who were so noisy immediately stopped and looked at the queen who was wearing a red court dress. The queen who just closed her eyes and let them quarrel, now her sharp eyes swept across their faces one by one, making everyone immediately lower their eyes. After standing back to his original position, the whole hall immediately became quiet and could be heard.
"Why are you not arguing anymore? Are you hoping that I will make room early so that you can stand in line and support the princess you are optimistic about?"
The cold and majestic voice echoed throughout the hall, making people feel depressed for no reason.
"I don't dare!"
Everyone in the main hall fell to their knees, especially the three princesses at the front, who had panic expressions on their faces.
"Huh! It's because I don't dare, not because I don't want to!"
The Queen sat up straight and said calmly.
None of the people kneeling in the main hall dared to raise their heads, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
The eldest princess quickly raised her head and glanced at her mother, straightened up and said:
"Mother, please calm down! In my heart, the mother's body is the most important, and nothing else can compare. The courtiers are also worried about your body and have no other intentions."
"What the eldest sister said is, Queen Mother, please don't be angry and be careful with yourself!"
The second princess also straightened up, saluted with both hands and said.
"Mother, don't listen to these people's nonsense. I am your youngest daughter. Even if you want to pass on the throne, you can't pass it on to me. The princess is either a direct descendant or an elder. I don't take any of them. I still I wish you could sit on the throne for another hundred and eighty years and watch me get married and have children, that would be the days of the gods."
The third princess was a bastard. She made her thoughts clear and clear in the lobby, which earned the eldest and second princesses a blank stare.
No one else in the hall made a sound, and now only the three princesses would come forward to avoid being scolded.
"If I sit on the throne for a hundred and eighty years, I will become an old monster. That will make people hate me even more."
Lianyi stroked the large and exquisite sleeves of his court dress and spoke softly.
Because of one word, the stiff atmosphere in the hall relaxed.
"Well, you have been arguing for so long, and you must have your own ideas, so let's give it a try! I will consider it as appropriate."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she stood up holding the hand of the female official Huizhi beside her.
Immediately, a middle-aged female guard with a knife stepped forward and said loudly:
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to the Queen, long live the Queen!"
"Hmph! The slogan is so good, but you are not expecting me to abdicate."
Ripples left the court hall with unhurried steps.
Her last words seemed to reach the ears of the three princesses and the courtiers. After everyone stood up, they looked at each other and then exited the hall in twos and threes.
The three princesses greeted each other and followed the courtiers back to their palaces.
After leaving the main hall, Lianyi directly ordered his imperial chariot to go to the palace instead of Qinzheng Hall.
Female official Huizhi immediately stepped forward and asked softly:
"Queen, but your head hurts again? Do you want me, Doctor Xuan?"
"No, I just want to rest. It just so happens that the court officials are going to write a report. Give them three days to prepare the report and rest for three days."
Ripple said very bachelorly.
"this"
Female official Huizhi hesitated.
"Just like I said, they won't make a fuss."
Lianyi waved his hand directly.
"Yes, my little girl will go and pass on the Queen's instructions."
Huizhi took a step back and trotted to convey Lianyi's meaning.
After returning to the palace from the Xuanzang Hall, Lianyi ordered the maids to bathe and change her clothes. When she sat in front of the dressing mirror, Lady Lan Xin came to report:
"Queen, the royal husband is waiting outside the palace."
"Ask him to go back and say that I am tired today and want to be clean for a while."
Lianyi looked at the haggard original owner in the mirror and sighed in her heart. No wonder the obsession was so heavy and the resentment affected the operation of the small world.
The original owner in the mirror had wrinkles on the corners of his lips and eyes, severe dark circles under his eyes, deep nasolabial folds, spots and yellowing of his skin that required a thick layer of powder to cover them, and his hair was half white.
At first glance, it was premature aging caused by overexertion of energy, and it was easy to die from overwork. In addition, her good daughters added good ingredients to her, which led to Shen Yuan fainting while discussing matters in Xuanzheng Hall not long ago. Fortunately, the imperial doctor was a bit cautious. He was able to rescue the original body, but even so, the original body's vitality was severely damaged.
Precisely because of the original owner's fainting, the court began to clamor for the appointment of a crown princess. As good contenders for this position, the three princesses came into everyone's sight. This was a critical moment to stand in line.
If you choose the right one, you will live in glory and wealth for a lifetime, if you choose the wrong one, you will be doomed. Ambitious ministers will naturally take the gamble. There is also a category of losers. There is also a category of staunch neutrals who do not choose sides and are only loyal to the queen. Heirs, these people naturally seek stability.
Now the three princesses are all in their prime, and they have already left the palace and built a mansion, married husbands, and even have two or three children. Among them, the three princesses are just over sixteen years old. Although they are already married, But she hasn't given birth to a daughter yet.
It is precisely because of this that the third princess made a bold statement in the court that she would not participate in the competition for the crown princess. It was also to show off the ears of the courtiers. After all, she was neither the eldest daughter nor the legitimate daughter, and she had no heirs. It doesn’t have the basic hardware to compete.
Ripple stroked his long hair and wanted to sigh. This body was really bad. If she hadn't come here, he would have died in three to five years at most.
At this time, a maid lit incense in a bronze furnace with a phoenix flying to the sky. The light and elegant aroma floated out from the incense burner, but Ripple frowned and said coldly:
"Take the incense away, I get a headache from the smell!"
"yes!"
The maid seemed to be frightened, and immediately called two female officials to carry the incense burner out.
At this time, Lady Lan Xin also walked in carrying a food box and respectfully said to Lianyi:
"Empress, this is the ginseng soup that the emperor asked me to hand over. He said he wanted me to advise you to use more of it and take care of yourself. Children's affairs have their own destiny."
"He will be a good person."
Ripple said lightly.
Then he waved his hand to let all the maids in the palace go out, leaving only Huizhi and Lan Xin, the two most capable female officers.
The two female officials have been with the Queen Wu Lianyi since they were young. They grew up together and were trained together to be the Queen's right-hand assistants. She would not shy away from some things between them.
"I was poisoned, so my body became weaker and weaker."
"What!"
"how come?"
Two exclamations sounded at the same time.
