Ming Gong did not expect that the controversy over the status of the prince's adoptive mother not only did not disappear, but intensified, and rumors spread everywhere, causing eunuchs and maids in the palace to whisper.

"My lord, today dozens of courtiers wrote a letter suggesting that the crown prince's adoptive mother should be crowned queen." In the imperial study room of Chaoyang Palace, senior official Cheng Rong stood respectfully at Ming Gong's desk with a stack of memorials in his arms. forward.

"What? These people want me to make a new queen?" Ming Gong raised his eyebrows and asked vigilantly.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, more than half of the courtiers in the court mean this." Cheng Rong cupped his hands.

"This is strange, why do we have to target the position of the queen? Do I have to abolish the queen and listen to them, so that they will be happy?" Ming Gong said coldly with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, some people say that if the status of the crown prince's adoptive mother is not enough, then the position of the crown prince will naturally not be justifiable." Cheng Rongjin said.

"Nonsense, this is clearly forcing the palace, Cheng Rong, if you give me an edict, just say that it is not allowed!" Minggong was furious, flicked his sleeves, and retreated into the harem on his own.

"My lord, please go back." At this moment, Xinyue, who was standing beside her, hurriedly reminded Cheng Rong softly.

Let me explain Gong, holding back his stomach, angrily walking in the back garden alone, suddenly there was a sound of melodious play like silver bells in his ears, Ming Gong knew that it was the court ladies who were playing around, so he couldn't help but gradually lighten his steps, Creeping through the hibiscus branches, peeping at everything in front of me.

But among the rose bushes, a [-]-year-old girl with beautiful eyebrows, wearing a pale pink beanie, was happily swinging on the swing with the support of the maid.

Minggong couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy, and walked out of the flowers with his hands behind his back like a tiger walking like a dragon.

"Slaves pay respects to the king!" Ming Gong's appearance frightened the palace maids like frightened rabbits, kneeling to pay respects one after another.

"It's okay, you guys continue to play, by the way, how come I haven't seen that girl on the swing before in the palace?" Ming Gong couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and asked the court ladies amiably.

"Your Majesty, she is Concubine Ge's niece outside the palace, her name is Qianxue, this is the first time she has visited the palace to visit her aunt, and she doesn't know the rules in the palace, please forgive me." The maid replied tremblingly.

"Don't know the rules in the palace? Good! The less you don't know, the better!" Ming Gong couldn't help but smile.

"My servant Qianxue, please greet the king. Long live, long live." At this time, Qianxue, who was employed gracefully and subtly, stepped in front of Minggong shyly with the support of the maid.

The cherry lips parted lightly, like the melodious voice of an oriole, it was very pleasant, Minggong couldn't help but felt overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the palace maid to support Qianxue, at this moment, Concubine Ge happened to pass by in a walking chariot. Seeing Ming Gong standing out among the rose bushes like a flock of chickens, he quickly ordered the maid to descend to the chariot, and went up respectfully to pay his respects.

"The concubine didn't know that the king was here, so she let her family offend the king, and asked the king to forgive her." Seeing that Qianxue was staring at Minggong in a daze, Concubine Ge quickly grabbed Qianxue's plain hand and knelt down. Greetings to Mingong.

"Get up, Concubine Ge, your natal family visiting the palace is also a matter of human relations, I will not blame you." Mingong said with a calm smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this concubine will take my niece to the Chonghua Palace to kowtow." Concubine Ge said happily.

"Wait a minute, you mean the Chonghua Palace? Why did you take her to the Chonghua Palace?" Ming Gong couldn't help but bewildered.

Concubine Ge's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied: "Because Empress Jin heard that this concubine is a sensible niece, so she specially summoned her into the palace to be a companion for Prince Hui En."
