It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 322 322. Concubine Game
Ji Shaoyuan's proposal to raise Hua Zhaoyi's child has to be said to surprise Ji Changdeng who is used to the situation.

Ji Shaoyuan is usually impatient to play with children, for her children are troublesome, seeing that she has not given birth to a child with her son-in-law, General Xiao, you can know what she thinks.

A person who has never liked children suddenly proposes to raise children, which has to arouse people's daydream.

Ji Changdeng smiled, "Sister, you have been married to your son-in-law for six years, and there is no happy news so far. Could it be that my sister wants to be blessed with Hua Zhaoyi so that she can get her wish?"

No outright veto, but certainly disagree.Since ancient times, there is no reason for a prince and princess to be raised by a princess, unless the emperor is still young and there is no queen mother in the palace, then there is a reason for a princess to take care of a prince.

Ji Changdeng is not a child, so it is unnecessary for Ji Shaoyuan to raise the emperor's heir.

"Brother," Ji Shaoyuan smiled, "You also know that Hua Zhaoyi and I met once before, and they are old friends, so why not let my aunt take a look at Hua Zhaoyi's child? Besides , the queen has no children, and the queen's uncle and her father, presumably, will have a lot of opinions on Hua Zhaoyi."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Ji Changdeng immediately put aside the prayer beads he was playing with, his expression gloomy.It seems that when the Marquis of Changxing had an audience with him, he said some unpleasant words, which angered Ji Changdeng.

Ji Shaoyuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are the first in the court. Don't forget that you are the master of Daxing. Whether it is Marquis Changxing or Master Liu, whether you are a king or minister on the shore of the land, you can make a decision with a word. Their life and death. The Marquis of Changxing and Mrs. Shen have no children, they are alone, and the only ones they care about most are Daxing and the Empress."

Liu Lingyan is the most important niece of Mrs. Changxing Marquis Shen and his wife. If Ji Changdeng doesn't give Liu Lingyan face, the Marquis of Changxing and his wife will not let it go.

Although it is hard to follow the emperor's words, once the trouble becomes big, the emperor Ji Changdeng will be embarrassed.

From Ji Shaoyuan's words, Ji Changdeng thought of how the middle-aged Marquis Changxing, who has not lost his demeanor, would say something that disgusted him in a serious manner in the imperial study.

Marquis Changxing is the pillar of the country, and his new policy now depends on many officials, both civil and military, so he should not act rashly.

"Sister's words, I will remember."

Taking a deep breath, Ji Changdeng regained his composure. He said in a deep voice, "The empress is the head of the six palaces and my first wife. She should be given the honor and dignity she deserves."

Even though he didn't like Liu Lingyan, he couldn't arbitrarily abolish the queen when Liu Lingyan was innocent of the marriage bestowed by the first emperor.

Ji Shaoyuan kowtowed again, "My emperor is wise. Hua Zhaoyi's dream bears a sign. This is the joy of Daxing. My sister has the jade pendant Buddha beads consecrated by Fahua Temple here. Please pass it on to Hua Zhaoyi. It is my heart."

Since Ji Changdeng is determined to praise Hua Zhaoyi, why doesn't Ji Shaoyuan give Hua Zhaoyi a little noodle?After all, Liu Lingyan is not Ji Changdeng's favorite woman, Ji Shaoyuan can't force Ji Changdeng to be with her forever, all he can do is try his best to maintain the queen's dignity and honor.

The eunuch beside him quickly presented the Buddhist beads and jade pendant submitted by Ji Shaoyuan to the emperor. Ji Changdeng touched it, and saw that the jade pendant touched the raw temperature and was of excellent color. Sandalwood aroma.With the consecration of Fahua Temple, it is very good luck.

Ji Changdeng smiled, "Sister is indeed my good sister, she understands me best."

Just now it was me, Ji Shaoyuan felt helpless, after all, the young emperor is not the unfavored little prince back then, it is better to be cautious.

"Your Majesty is serious. You and I are close siblings, so there is no need to take offense."

Ji Shaoyuan responded gently.

Ji Changdeng was overjoyed, leaving Ji Shaoyuan to eat in the palace, the two siblings were chatting and laughing happily.

Yikun Palace

The newly-appointed Empress Liu Lingyan rested her forehead, feeling like she had a headache.

Jixiang, the maid who came over as a dowry, carefully massaged Liu Lingyan's head with a sophisticated technique, and Liu Lingyan hummed a few times comfortably.

"Your Majesty, that Hua Zhaoyi is really..."

Auspicious fights against injustice, it's only been a few days since their master married into the East Palace, why did Hua Zhaoyi have a royal heir before their mother?If the eldest son of the emperor is born, isn't it the child of their mother who has no place to stand?
Liu Lingyan slowly opened his eyes, "Be careful, Hua Zhaoyi is His Majesty's favorite concubine, so don't be rude."

Others may think she is pitiful, but she is content.Compared with the breathless days before, the current situation is much better.

At the very least, today, today, he still cares about his face and will not do too much to her.From the moment she became a crown princess, she gave up her wish of being a couple forever.

Ji Changdeng's heart belongs to her, so why doesn't she?

Jixiang was dissatisfied, "Hua Zhaoyi stole your limelight over and over again, and outsiders dressed so badly. They said that you might become the second Song empress of Emperor Gaozong, so make way for Hua Zhaoyi."

Back then, it was not without controversy that Emperor Gaozong changed Concubine Chen Gui to be the queen.Who made Empress Song famous and beautiful, while Concubine Chen Gui was born as a slave?
Gaozong didn't take it seriously, Empress Song had no favors and no children, Concubine Chen Guifei had sons and daughters, she was like the first hostess of the harem, Gaozong didn't want to be wronged Concubine Chen Guifei was very ruthless towards Empress Song.

Now, it seems that Ji Changdeng will become Emperor Gaozong and Liu Lingyan will be Empress Song.

Liu Lingyan chuckled when he heard the words, "It's ridiculous! Your Majesty has absolutely no chance of abolishing the Empress!"

At most, Hua Zhaoyi was promoted as the imperial concubine, and the position of queen, in this life, she will be Liu Lingyan in life, and she will be Liu Lingyan in death.

Ji Xiang didn't understand what he meant and thought Liu Lingyan was comforting them, but instead analyzed with reason and evidence, "Your Majesty, now that His Majesty is only thinking about the one from Lingyun Palace, we must be fully prepared."

Hua Zhaoyi of Lingyun Palace has favors and heirs, everyone in the palace looks at Hua Zhaoyi, who cares about a queen who is not favored?

Seeing Jixiang and the others' worried faces, Liu Lingyan couldn't help saying solemnly, "Hua Zhaoyi's favor is her business. Don't forget that there is a queen mother and a concubine in the palace."

Empress Dowager Wan would never allow Ji Changdeng to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. No matter how much Hua Zhaoyi was favored, Ji Changdeng would not dare to risk the world's disgrace and openly fight against Empress Dowager Wan and Concubine Yang for Hua Zhaoyi.

When Jixiang heard this, his eyes lit up, "The Empress Dowager Zhaokang is very close to the empress."

Although Empress Dowager Wan is not Ji Changdeng's biological mother, there is no doubt that Empress Dowager Wan is Ji Changdeng's respectful mother according to the late emperor's edict.

If Empress Dowager Wan thought about Liu Lingyan wholeheartedly, then Ji Changdeng's dislike of Liu Lingyan didn't seem to be a big deal.

"The Royal Concubine and the Concubine Xingui are the same. They will not interfere in the harem. However, if Your Majesty dotes on Hua Zhaoyi without knowing how to measure it, I am afraid there is something wrong."

After Liu Lingyan finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

She has all the glory, wealth, power, fame and fortune, and she doesn't care about the illusory love affairs at all.

Jixiang is relieved, but Ruyi has something to say.

"These days, the Second Madam often takes Second Miss Liu to the Dongping County Mansion. It seems that she intends to let Mrs. Shen Guogong and Mrs. Xiaozhen match up for Miss Liu Second."

When Ruyi thought of how Mrs. Liu treated Liu Lingyan in the past, she became very angry.

Even though Liu Lingrui had her fiancé, Mrs. Liu Er, she still tried her best to plan for her. It was really a deep love between mother and daughter.What is Liu Lingyan?

Liu Lingyan smiled when he heard the words, "Your Majesty talked to me before and asked me about my favor to the Liu Mansion. I said bluntly, but it's up to Your Majesty to decide, as long as I don't treat my uncle and aunt badly. It seems that His Majesty wants to confer favor on my uncle." As a first-class public, my aunt is the first-class wife, and my father was promoted to a higher level, and he was appointed to discuss affairs in Fengzhang Pavilion. Mother has nothing here, so she is of course not convinced."

In Daxing, only the queen's biological mother can be the wife of the country. Why can Mrs. Shen be the wife of the country if she is not Liu Lingyan's mother?Before that, Mrs. Shen was already a First-Class Mrs., but if she becomes Mrs. Guo again, it is equivalent to getting two salaries.

Mrs. Liu Er might still be thinking that since Liu Lingyan became the queen, she should also help her sister.Second Miss Liu, Liu Lingrui, has not been married until now, and she must be waiting for this moment.

Thinking of this, Liu Lingyan couldn't help feeling cold.Although she and Mrs. Liu Er are called mother and daughter, they have no mother-daughter relationship.

Ruyi was surprised, "Are only Marquis Changxing and Mrs. Marquis rewarded?"

The new emperor ascended the throne and awarded meritorious officials.As the Queen's natal family, the Taifu's Mansion only won the title of Duke this time, which is really shabby.

However, thinking that Taifu Liu is in power and there is no need to reward him, his heart seems to be calmed down.

Liu Lingyan tilted her head, "What else? Auntie is mine..." She paused halfway through speaking, "Auntie treats me like a girl, and I should pay her back."

Some things, now is not the right time, she can't say.

Ruyi thought of Madam Shen's care for Liu Lingyan in the past, and she took it for granted, "Madam Hou treats the empress the best."

Mrs. Shen has no son or daughter, and she doesn't usually get close to the princes and misses in the Taifu's residence.Only Liu Lingyan not only won Madam Shen's favor, but also made Changxing Hou Gao take a look.

This is really strange, but the blood-related Mrs. Liu Er treated Liu Lingyan with a flat attitude, as if she had never had a daughter like Liu Lingyan.

Liu Lingyan smiled without saying a word.

That night, Emperor Hongxuan Ji Changdeng came to Yikun Palace and had a chat with Empress Liu Lingyan. Compared with the lukewarmness before, the empress treated her a little more warmly.

The same is true for Liu Lingyan, who initially established himself in the harem.It is quite terrifying for the mother of a country not to have the mercy of the emperor.

Soon, Ji Shaoyuan received the news, his eyes flashed.

Xiao Yue was thoughtful, "Your Majesty has always been measured, even if you don't say it, he still has to consider the weight of Taifu Liu and Marquis Changxing."

In the early morning today, Ji Changdeng formally conferred concubines and many meritorious officials, among them Taifu Liu's mansion was full of wealth and honor.The Marquis of Changxing granted the title of Duke of Yipin Thailand, his wife Mrs. Shen was granted the title of Mrs. Huaguo and Mrs. Dexian, and Liu Lingyan's father was promoted to a higher rank to discuss matters for Fengzhang Pavilion. Grand Tutor Liu got a Mr. Cheng'en, which can be regarded as begging Ren De Ren.
