Chapter 361
The little prince was taken away, and the palace maids and eunuchs were also dismissed by the queen, leaving only the queen and Su Mo'er in the house.
The queen sighed faintly, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled and apologized to Su Mo'er:
"Let you two sisters laugh. ”
"Niangniang, what the little prince said is true?
Su Mo'er was a little rebellious when she asked this, but the queen didn't care, and said indifferently:
"Even if Your Majesty doesn't have this intention, but those ministers don't think so, the harem has always existed to balance the power of the court. ”
"Is the mother willing to do this?"
"What if you are unwilling, this palace is the queen, and the lord of the harem must have the posture of the lord of the harem, and the day this palace marries His Majesty, he has already prepared in his heart. ”
The queen's words made Su Mo'er's heart sour, she was also the emperor's woman, she knew the pain of sharing her husband with others, and she was crazy with jealousy at that time.
After that, the three of them had nothing to say, and sat there quietly, until Lan Yi walked in, and she respectfully said to the queen:
"Queen Mother, the banquet is about to begin, Your Majesty has asked you to go with you, at this moment, the emperor has arrived. ”
Hearing this, the queen nodded, stood up and tidied up her clothes and makeup, and then walked out of the door, followed by Su Mo'er and Su Xiu'er.
The two sisters took the first step in a soft sedan chair, and when they arrived at the banquet, as soon as they sat down, the emperor and queen also arrived.
Everyone got up and bowed to the emperor and queen, congratulating in unison, the new emperor smiled and let everyone flatten, everyone thanked him, and sat down again.
The Su Lin family is the hero, and they sit in the first place on both sides, especially Su Moer, who is the closest to the queen.
She is the crown prince and mother, except for the queen, she is the lady with the highest command. Sitting there, no one can say anything.
The little prince sat next to the new emperor, and he didn't cry anymore, but his eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was a little sad.
Su Mo'er sighed silently, some things still have to be seen by the little guy, the Son of Heaven's family, not everything goes as he wishes.
The new emperor raised his glass and said something to the ministers, which was nothing more than thanking the ministers for being together through thick and thin and fighting the rebels together.
The ministers hurriedly got up, raised their glasses and drank with the new emperor, and then the ministers praised the new emperor a few more words, and after that, the feast really began.
Su Mo'er was pregnant, and the queen took special care of her, and ordered the imperial dining room to make even more shocking meals, and let people test the poison, for fear that someone would do it.
At this time, one of the ministers stood up, walked to the front of the royal court, and said respectfully:
"Thank you to Your Majesty for your hospitality, in order to show your heart, the little girls in your family practice a dance, and please don't dislike Your Majesty. ”
"Since all Aiqing is so hearted, then I will be approved. ”
After the new emperor gave permission, the minister thanked him and withdrew, and then a group of young ladies in dancing clothes walked into the hall like flowers and butterflies.
Su Mo'er frowned and looked at the queen, but saw that the queen had a calm face, as if she had already known that there would be such a thing.
The intentions of these ministers are obvious, not to let their daughters dance on the stage, not just to win the favor of the new emperor so that they can enter the harem.
If they only let their daughters go up alone, they will inevitably be suspected of inviting pets, but it is different for many noble ladies to appear together, and whether they can be selected depends on their personal performance.
The emperor and queen sat on the top with an unknown expression, and the dancing ladies all had shy faces, and they showed their best side to the new emperor.
Among them, the most outstanding is the young lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, dressed in a green gauze dress, light and flying, like the Nine Heavens Immortal falling into the mortal dust.
Su Mo'er picked up the cup in front of her and drank the fruit wine in the cup, this fruit wine is made of fruit, not intoxicating, but also with a faint fruity fragrance, sweet, suitable for her to drink.
Speaking of Miss Wu of the Ministry of Rites, Su Moer is still very impressed, in the memory of her previous life, she almost became An Xuanqing's concubine.
It's a pity that her family is not as powerful as the Right Prime Minister's Pavilion, and An Xuanqing doesn't want to win over the Ministry of Rites, so it's a pity that Miss Wu's infatuation has been in vain.
Now, she also looks cold, as if she doesn't want to attract the attention of the new emperor.
Su Mo'er sneered, if she really didn't want to, she didn't have to enter. But she not only entered, but also danced quite hard.
The Wu family calls itself a scholarly family, prefers noble and elegant things, and the children in the family have also been taught to become talented and talented women one by one.
Miss Wu is the youngest daughter-in-law, and she also has a certain talent in the capital, especially for her dancing posture.
Now, dancing in front of the new emperor, no matter what, it is Miss Wu who is better.
Moreover, Lord Wu is a civil official, and marrying his daughter will not cause any trouble to the new emperor, no matter how you think about it, it is a beautiful thing.
As for the rest of the young ladies, it depends on the mood of the new emperor, if the new emperor has the intention to use the harem to contain the previous dynasty, it is understandable.
It's just that Su Mo'er still feels very sorry for the queen, and in the future, she will have to endure the pain of sharing her husband with others.
After the dance, all the ladies danced with fragrant sweat, the queen smiled slightly, praised the dancing skills of all the girls, and all the young ladies were also blessed.
The queen turned around, faced the new emperor, and asked with a smile:
"What does Your Majesty think?"
"Very good!
The ladies knelt down to thank them, but after the reward, the new emperor didn't react anymore, and still drank and laughed with the queen.
The ministers looked at each other, I don't know what the new emperor thinks, could it be that he didn't take a fancy to any of them?
Miss Wu sat in her seat, her face gloomy, her beautifully trimmed nails sinking into her palms.
The dance she was most proud of didn't make the new emperor look at her differently, which made her convinced. What's more, before going out, she didn't do anything her father told her.
No matter what the ministers thought, until the banquet was dispersed, the new emperor did not have any intention of expressing it, and everyone had to leave with regret.
Su Mo'er got into the carriage and followed Lin Moyu back to her home. Lin Moyu drank wine at the banquet, and was afraid that the wine would rush to Su Mo'er, so he didn't sit side by side with her, but sat opposite her, holding her hand all the time.
"Mo'er, are you tired tonight?"
"No, the Queen Mother has been watching over me. Besides, how can I be so delicate. ”
Lin Moyu smiled but did not speak, holding Su Mo'er's hand tightly, constantly rubbing it gently. Su Mo'er remembered the events at the banquet, and couldn't help asking:
"Brother Yu, what do you think of tonight's events?"
"What is Mo'er asking?"
"Brother Yu is pretending to be stupid or I really don't know! It's just the matter of the ministers letting the ladies dance. ”
"What is this, no matter what they do, Your Majesty's attitude is the main thing. ”
"Then what does Your Majesty mean?"
"I don't want to, it's not a good thing that the court harem is too involved. ”
"You know it all!" Your Majesty told you. ”
"Of course, now, Your Majesty has decided that the crown prince is the future prince, since this is the case, why bother to get any brothers for the prince!"
"Your Majesty, is this going to dismiss the harem?"
Su Mo'er was stunned for a while, she didn't expect the new emperor to have such thoughts, Lin Moyu smiled, reached out and gave her a haircut, and said:
"Your Majesty came from the war for the crown prince to seize the throne, that palace change changed his mind, too many princes is not a good thing, what he values most now is the crown prince, and he is not allowed to appear anyone who may threaten the position of the prince. ”
"But is such a thing possible? How could the ministers be willing? ”
"Then it depends on Your Majesty's determination on this matter, if he insists, who can stop it. ”
Su Mo'er still felt unbelievable, an emperor actually wanted to abolish the harem, not to mention the ministers, even ordinary people heard that they were shocking.
Which emperor doesn't want to have many heirs, and the waves set off by the new emperor's actions are not so easy to calm down.
