396 Concubine(1/2)

“…”

“…”

“…”

The female family looked at each other with a strange expression, and repeatedly savored Chen Qianchen's words.

Whether you are a virtuous queen is not up to you!

Whether you accept the concubine is not up to you!

This is definitely what the queen means!

Chen Zhi almost laughed and sighed that her daughter had always been at a loss. The key is that this girl has enough confidence.

The feuds around him gradually became turbulent, some thoughtful, some did not comment, some frowned slightly in disagreement, feeling that the new queen was too frivolous.

The new queen and the new emperor only got married last year. They were just nine months old and were still newlywed. The newlyweds naturally mixed oil in honey. After waiting for a long time, the couple gradually faded. All the couples came step by step.

All the women present were experienced, and they had experienced it and had seen it many times.

To put it realistically, if Gu Jue was still the King of Chen today, he and Chen Qianchen might have been more sweet for a while, but the reality is that Gu Jue has ascended the throne and is the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

As he thought, some of the outside women looked at Chen Qianchen with indescribable expressions of sympathy, envy or sigh.

After all, the new queen is too young and too naive. I'm afraid she was used to being the only one in the palace of Prince Chen, so she forgot that she is different from the past.

As an emperor's woman, does she also want to be the only one in the harem and not allow the new emperor to accept a concubine?!

She is not only naive, but also ridiculous and even more arrogant!

"..." Princess Duan County's face was stiff, and a trace of disapproval flashed through her eyes.

Concubine Li comfortedly patted the hand of the princess of Duan County, and said intimately with a smile: "We really have the final say whether we are a virtuous queen or not. It should be up to the emperor and the empress dowager."

As he said that, Concubine Li looked at Empress Dowager Yin, who was sitting in the upper head, with a deeper smile and a deeper gaze.

The queen didn't think about it, and the queen was sitting here for a long time! The harem could not help but show off the power of the Lord of the Six Palaces here!

Empress Dowager Yin slowly used the tea cover to remove the foam floating on the tea soup. She moved elegantly, neither fast nor slow, and noble and quiet.

Everyone's eyes were all pouring towards Queen Mother Yin, with different expressions waiting for the Queen Mother's response.

Mrs. Anding Hou showed expectation and her eyes were burning. She felt desperate that Concubine Li and the Princess Duan County could persuade the Empress Dowager to accept the concubine for the new emperor today.

Their status of the marquis' mansion in the court for more than ten years has not been higher or lower. If this continues, they will become an idle noble. However, if their girl can enter the palace to be a concubine and give birth to a prince, the marquis' mansion can change the decay and go to a higher level.

Mrs. Andinghou swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but echo: "Concubine Li said, the Empress Dowager is generous and kind, and has a reputation all over the world. She is the example of women in the world."

Duke Mu listened to the meaning of these people, and his heart raised it little by little, and their thoughts were obvious.

Although the eldest daughter Chen Zhi has always said that she believed in Gu Jue as her son-in-law, Duke Mu always felt that the eldest daughter was too naive, and it was inevitable that Gu Jue would accept a concubine.

Since it is inevitable, what they can do as the queen's family is to try to delay the matter of accepting concubines and persuade the queen mother to wait until Gu Jue and Chen Qianchen's eldest son are born before considering accepting concubines. Only in this way can they protect Chen Qianchen's interests to the greatest extent.

Duke Mu pursed his lips and was already thinking about how he would help his granddaughter deal with it if the empress dowager expressed his opinion.

In the hot eyes of everyone, Chen Qianchen smiled, his phoenix eyes were bright, and he turned to Empress Dowager Yin and said with a sweet smile: "There are many trivial matters in the palace recently, thanks to my mother's teaching me."

Her eyes were beautifully curved, and the ends were slightly raised. When she smiled, her eyes were lively and her smile was bright, so beautiful that the beauties in the house were eclipsed and became her background.

Chen Qianchen praised the Empress Dowager sincerely, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. In the ears of Concubine Li, Princess Duan County and others, she felt that she did not dare to offend the Empress Dowager, so she could only hold the Empress Dowager and use it to please the new emperor.

Very good, as long as the Queen Mother can suppress the new Queen!

The Princess Duan County and Concubine Li exchanged a look silently. Then, the Princess Duan County owed to Empress Dowager Yin, and said humbly: "Mrs. Queen Mother, don't blame me for being ruthless. I am also worried about the emperor's descendants, so I talked a few more words. The emperor has ascended the throne, so it is not too late to accept the concubine in the harem."

Princess Duan simply said it to the point.

It is natural for the emperor to accept a concubine. She kindly reminded the queen, hoping that the queen could take the initiative to mention it to the new emperor. Isn’t this still a reputation for giving the queen a wise name?!

Since the queen does not accept her kindness, she doesn't have to go around in circles. She has offended the queen today, so she might as well ask for something in front of the queen.

The person who wants to hold his grandson the most must be the Queen Mother!

Mrs. Anding Hou hurriedly said, "The emperor's descendants are the foundation of the country. There are too many people in the harem in the future, and the children will surround the Empress Dowager's knees, so it will definitely be lively."

Several noble ladies also nodded frequently, feeling worried.

Empress Dowager Yin took a sip of hot tea, put down the teacup leisurely, and inexplicably asked Princess Duan County: "I remember that Prince Duan County is the second-class at home, right?"

The princess of Duan County hurriedly echoed: "The Empress Dowager has a good memory."

The current Duan Prince is Gu Jue's cousin, the parent-child of Gu Jue's third emperor's uncle and Concubine Li. Because the eldest son died prematurely, the second son inherited the title.

"Have the prince been established?" Queen Mother Yin asked again.

The princess of Duan County did not understand why, so he answered obediently: "I am already a wife's eldest son, Gu Luo."

Empress Dowager Yin pointed at Mrs. Anding, not far away: "Who is your prince?"

When Mrs. Anding Hou saw the Empress Dowager ask about her family, she stood up happily and replied with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is the eldest son of the wife. Now she is in the Military and Horse Command of the Five Cities, and she is not very good at using it."

She said that the eldest son was not a good match, but she was a bit proud of her.

Everyone knows that the Five City Military and Ma Si is the place where the playboys from the royal family are visiting, but Su Mubai used to be in charge of the Five City Military and Ma Si. Now Su Mubai's waters are rising, which makes the Five City Military and Ma Si seem to be "unusual".

Empress Dowager Yin continued to ask: "How many concubines are there in the mansion?"

Mrs. Anding Hou replied again: "Two legitimate sons and four concubine sons."

Mrs. Anding was generous while chatting and laughing, and thought she was a virtuous stepmother. She did not oppress her son like Mrs. Yun of the loyal and brave mansion. Their sons were prosperous, and even her picky mother-in-law was very satisfied with this.

The next moment, Empress Dowager Yin spoke in a faint expression: "It's better to let the prince give the title to the concubine's son."

Mrs. Andinghou: "!!!"

Princess Duan County: "!!!"

Empress Dowager Yin did not name her name, and no one could be sure that the "prince" she mentioned only refers to the prince of Anding, or the prince of Prince Duan.

Mrs. Anding Hou was a little overwhelmed and said in a shock: "How can this be done? The rules of ancestors are passed down to the legitimate and not to the charity, and the eldest son is passed down to the wise."

In the Great Qi Dynasty, the inheritance system of titles had very detailed regulations, including the inheritors who inherited the titles and inherited most of the family property. According to the rules, if the concubine's son inherited the title, the emperor would have to give additional permission. If the emperor did not like it, it would be possible to directly surrender the title.

Mrs. Anding Hou panicked and said whatever she thought of, and incoherently explained the etiquette and law of ancestors, for fear that the empress dowager would really give the crown prince to her concubine.

"..." Princess Duan's face turned blue and white. She didn't dare to answer these words, nor did she dare to look at Concubine Li. After all, for Concubine Li, the concubine's son is also her grandson, and it doesn't matter who can win the title.

Empress Dowager Yin glanced at Princess Duan County and the others indifferently: "Since that's the case, what's the use of a concubine's son?"

"The concubine's son cannot inherit the title and cannot inherit the family property. So what's the use of asking for the concubine's son?"

Everyone was silent and their faces were not very good-looking.

All the female relatives who can appear here today have imperial edicts and are the mistresses in the family. No one would be willing to give their property to their concubines for free.

Concubine Li pursed her slightly shriveled lips, and her turbid eyes were deep and dark. When she didn't smile, she looked a little mean.

"Empress Dowager," Concubine Li squeezed out a smile, and put on a good sister-in-law's posture, ignoring the unsightly-looking face of Princess Duan County. "There are also many outstanding children among the concubines. They are diligent and motivated, and can break out of a world without relying on the family."

Although this sentence is the truth, no one agrees. For these legitimate wives, unless they do not have legitimate sons, who can raise a concubine's son as a parent-child?

The atmosphere solidifies slightly.

The women who were drinking tea didn't even dare to drink tea, and they all sat upright, afraid of making any unnecessary noises.

Queen Mother Yin seemed not to feel the subtle atmosphere at this moment, and she stroked her sleeves casually, and the new clothes made her look very good.

"My brother and sister are saying it well." Empress Dowager Yin nodded seriously.

Concubine Li is the original wife of the Prince Xianduan. In fact, she is one round older than Empress Dowager Yin and is already in her early fifties. At this moment, when Empress Dowager Yin, who is in her early thirties, she seems a little inconsistent when she calls Concubine Li a younger and younger sister.

Empress Dowager Yin continued: "There are also outstanding concubines, such as the loyal and brave Bo Yunzhan, who is a concubine. He is very ambitious and goes to the north alone to join the army and build great military achievements for our Great Qi."

Empress Dowager Yin praised Yun Zhan with appreciation, which made Concubine Li feel a little relieved and felt that there was a chance.

The faces of Mrs. Anding and Princess Duan County darkened again, their mouths opened and closed, and they wanted to speak but stopped.

Queen Mother Yin didn't care about the other people's expressions and said to herself: "So, the emperor asked Yun Zhan to attack Jue, and often praised Yun Zhan's child in front of Ai's family. He could not suppress him just because he was a concubine's son and erase his achievements."

"Since the third brother and sister are so touched, I think the concubines and grandsons of your mansion must be very outstanding. Next time I bring all the children to the Ai family and the emperor. If it is really so outstanding, the Ai family can make the decision on the emperor. Regardless of the legitimate and illegitimate, they only choose the virtuous and capable, and those who are capable will live there."

Empress Dowager Yin spoke so well, while Princess Duan County was simply crazy, so she quickly reached out to pull Princess Li's sleeve from under the coffee table.

This is absolutely unsatisfactory!

There are so many people present today, and they are in front of the Queen Mother again. Once they speak, they cannot be taken back with just a joke.

Concubine Li: "!!!"

Concubine Li dared not respond.

Although the prince of Duan County was also her grandson, she loved the eldest grandson the most since childhood and always treated him as the heir of the prince's mansion.

If she dares to respond today, the prince will definitely hold a grudge against her grandmother. Moreover, their Duan County Prince's Mansion will become a family that is not divided into legitimate and illegitimate. Which family will dare to marry them in the future?!

Empress Dowager Yin asked step by step: "Does the third brother and sister think it's good?"

Concubine Li: "!!!"

How could this be fine?

The Princess Duan County was even more shocked and wondered, and couldn't help but think of Yun Zhan and Chu Yunyi.
