With a wave of the emperor's dragon robe, the little father-in-law stepped aside to make way for the emperor.

The emperor was in front, and An Rong and Xiao Zhan followed closely behind and walked out of the imperial study.

The imperial study is a little far away from the Yongshou Palace, and it took a cup of tea to see the plaque of the Yongshou Palace.

In the sun, the gilded plaque shines.

Thinking of Yongshou Palace, An Rong thought of the last time he was here.

I don't know if the Queen Mother's complexion has improved, and I have to pay attention to what I say for a while, in case I say something again, I don't know if someone will be destroyed again.

In the Yongshou Palace, it is very lively, and from time to time there is a light laugh overflowing outside the hall.

An Rong didn't expect to see Empress Dowager Xu, the queen, and the concubine in Yongshou Palace.

Compared with the queen and the concubine, their coquettishness and ruddy complexion, Empress Dowager Zheng's face is much paler, but compared to the previous time, her complexion has improved a lot.

Seeing the emperor enter, the queen and the concubines hurriedly got up and saluted, and their voices were so tactful and coquettish that people couldn't help but get goosebumps.

An Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, she had heard the voices of these people, but she had never been so coquettish in front of the emperor, especially when she was angry and her eyes were cold and sharp, the voice was like spitting an ice knife.

Sure enough, the harem is the best place to fit.

An Rong felt that the emperor probably hadn't heard their real voices.

The emperor waved his hand, exempted the queen and the concubine, and asked with a pleasant face, "What are you talking about, so happy, I heard laughter from afar." ”

The queen has a good face, her eyes are gentle, and she smiled, "I am discussing the draft, the emperor's harem is empty, and there have been no people for a few years. ”

"Whatever you want," the emperor didn't care about the draft.

He greeted the Empress Dowager Zheng, and gave the Empress Dowager Xu a salute, and sat down.

Empress Dowager Zheng saw An Rong and Xiao Zhan from a distance, beckoned, and the two stepped forward to greet Empress Dowager Zheng and the concubines.

Empress Dowager Zheng looked gentle and loving, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, and the peace is much more beautiful, the mourning family is waiting for you to enter the palace early in the morning, why did you come here?" ”

An Rong's face flushed when he was asked, and he didn't know how to answer.

She couldn't expose the bracelet.

Concubine Zheng said with a smile, "Queen Mother, they are just newly married Yan'er." ”

A newlywed Yan'er is enough to explain why she came late.

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled lightly, and then asked the emperor, "Has the emperor drunk the tea they toasted?" ”

The emperor nodded, patted the dragon robe on his knee slightly, and said, "I've drunk it." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng immediately frowned, just when the emperor thought that Empress Dowager Zheng did not approve of his recognition of the righteous son, the Empress Dowager Zheng was a little angry and said, "Since you have recognized the righteous son, that is the righteous grandson of the mourning family, and if you want to serve tea, you should first respect the mourning family, right?" ”

The emperor sighed slightly, and couldn't laugh or cry.

It's just a cup of tea, and the queen mother can't compete with him.

"It's too late to respect now, if the queen mother is unhappy, the previous cup will not count," the emperor said filial piety to the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Xu sat aside, listening to the words of the emperor and Empress Dowager Zheng, she raised her eyebrows.

"The first emperor recognized two righteous daughters, both of whom were crowned princesses, and the emperor recognized Young Master Xiao Biao as a righteous son, I don't know what kind of king he was crowned?" Empress Dowager Xu asked with a smile.

Empress Dowager Xu's words made the queen's eyes widen.

Is there any mistake, the powerful people of Xiao Guogong's Mansion have already made them anxious, why does the Queen Mother still want the emperor to crown Xiao Zhan as the king?

The queen's brows flickered, and a smear of light flashed under her eyes.

Or the queen mother's chess move, if the emperor favors the righteous son, it is a matter of time before the king is crowned, and there is the old precedent of the first emperor, and it is difficult for the civil and military officials to change the emperor's mind, even if the first emperor is a righteous daughter, and the emperor is a righteous son, the difference is very big in essence, after all, the princess has no real power, and the reward is just some mundane things.

The civil and military officials can't stop the emperor's intentions, so it is a matter of time before Xiao Zhan becomes the king, at this time, the Empress Dowager Xu proposed it first, or when the emperor didn't expect it, this is a big favor.

No one doesn't like power, no one doesn't want to be crowned king, sell such a big favor to Xiao Zhan, he won't and dare not remember.

As for why you don't dare, this is the power of public opinion, Empress Dowager Xu is kind to him, if it is difficult to pray for the king in the future, Empress Dowager Xu opens her mouth to beg, he refuses, those ministers will definitely feel that Xiao Zhan is very weak, even if you help him, he will not remember, such a person is not worthy of deep friendship.

As soon as the queen figured it out, Empress Dowager Xu smiled, "The mourning family thinks that King Xiao is imposing enough." ”

In other words, she felt that the emperor had named Xiao Zhan as King Xiao.

But Empress Dowager Zheng and Concubine Zheng Guifei's brows were furrowed.

Although Xiao Zhan's surname is Xiao, everyone knows that he is just the grandson of the Xiao family, even if he is deeply favored by the emperor and recognized as a righteous son, if he wants to give him a title, it is impossible to become the prince as soon as he comes, and he is also named king with the word Xiao.

You must know that Xiao Guogong's Mansion has made great achievements for the Great Zhou, if it weren't for Xiao Laoguogong's temper being too short-tempered, the first emperor would have crowned him king.

General Xiao is better than the blue, he is only in the year of his establishment, and his military exploits are above the generals, as long as the Xiao Guogong Mansion is loyal and patriotic, within ten years, he will be crowned king.

Xiao Zi, the court has to keep it for the Xiao State Mansion.

These words, Empress Dowager Zheng and Concubine Zheng Guifei only thought about it in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

In any case, her feelings for An Rong and Xiao Zhan are always deeper than those of Empress Dowager Xu, and even Empress Dowager Xu agrees with the emperor to make Xiao Zhan the prince and give him the title King Xiao.

She ran out to stop her, didn't she slap herself in the face, showing that her previous favors were all fake?

After all, Xiao Zhan's surname is Xiao, and Xiao should give him a title.

In the main hall, there was some silence.

Those little concubines were even more arrogant, and some of them were so nervous that they even blushed.

The emperor held the teacup, and there was a little fiddling, the matter of making Xiao Zhan the king, he really didn't think about it, he was resting today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were not there, and when Ming'er went to the court, the minister of the Xiao Guogong Mansion would definitely be mentioned.

The emperor's brows were furrowed and relaxed, the tea was only served, and he put it down without taking a sip, he glanced at Xiao Zhan with a smile and asked, "Do you want me to crown you king now, or do you want to make great military achievements and crown the king with military achievements?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

It's too ...... What's that, right?

Do you still need to choose, it must be the king first, you must know that the king is crowned with military exploits, so what year and month will you get?

Think about the Mansion of Xiao Guo, it has been almost thirty years since he went to the battlefield for the Great Zhou, and he has only been mixed into the position of a grandfather of the country.

With the title of the prince, even if he goes to the battlefield in the future, those generals don't look at the handsome seal and the name of the prince, and they don't dare to underestimate three points.

Such a choice without suspense, the emperor also asked, is this treating people as fools?

But there are fools like that.

That's right, Xiao Zhan chose to be crowned king with his military exploits.

In the main hall, everyone's eyes were wide and in disbelief, including the emperor.

However, the emperor was only surprised for a moment, and then came appreciation and relief.

An Rong stood beside Xiao Zhan, she looked at Xiao Zhan's silver mask and deep and intoxicating eyes.

In the main hall, others didn't understand, but she understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

It is impossible for the emperor to give Xiao Zhan military power and crown him king.

But the Empress Dowager Xu proposed to be crowned the king, the emperor could not have imagined it, and there were a bunch of ministers waiting for him to be the king, recognizing the righteous son as the emperor's choice.

is so loving, he doesn't even have the title of a prince, and it's a joke to say it.

What's more, he can't pass the level of Xiao Lao Guogong.

Maybe, there will be a strange scene where the emperor wants to recognize his righteous son, and Xiao Laoguo does not want his grandson to recognize his father.

There is no doubt that since Old Duke Xiao dared to bombard the emperor and blatantly expressed his diswelcome to the emperor's arrival, what else did he not dare to do?

The emperor is also afraid of losing face, he can't make a holy decree to force Xiao Zhan to recognize him as his father-in-law, he is not without a son, he needs a son to inherit the incense.

He gave Xiao Zhan a choice, and he could perfectly block Xiao Laoguogong's mouth, I am extremely generous, the prince will give it if he wants me, it is your precious grandson who has the backbone to do it, I appreciate it very much.

This is the emperor's thoughts, An Rong understands.

But she understands Xiao Zhan's mind better.

Although they are both kings, the meaning is very different.

recognized the emperor as a father-in-law and crowned the king, in the eyes of the world, it was shit luck, the result of flattery and favor, not real skills.

With his military exploits, he was crowned the king, he was a real king, and he could despise almost all the princes of the emperor.

An Rong knew that Xiao Zhan was eager for military power, eager to prove himself on the battlefield, and it was impossible for him to give up 100,000 military power for the sake of a throne.

In his previous life, he was only 50,000 soldiers, and Xiao Zhan overcame all the obstacles and became the king within a few years.

In this life, with 100,000 soldiers, Xiao Zhan's road to becoming the king will only be faster.

At that time, if you have the military power and the throne, it will be a win-win situation.

Taking a step back, it is obvious that the people of the Xiao State Mansion prefer military power to royal power.

Although the royal power is good, the military power is supreme.

In the words of Xiao Laoguogong, as long as your fists are hard enough, it doesn't matter what kind of bird king you are, you can beat it correctly!

An Rong thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, and his cheeks hurt a little when he laughed.

Xiao Zhan looked sideways slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his beautiful and deep eyes, and he didn't know what An Rong was smiling at.

He chose military power, which means that she can't be the princess that everyone envies, why is she still happy?

Empress Dowager Xu sat there, she looked at Xiao Zhan, and an unfathomable look flashed in her eyes.

To say that before, Empress Dowager Xu felt that Xiao Guogong's Mansion was terrible.

But at this moment, she felt that the most terrifying thing was Xiao Zhan.

can abandon the king without any emotion and hesitation, so what else can get into his eyes?

If so, the person on that portrait is really Xiao Zhan, the country of the Great Zhou......

I'm afraid I'm going to have the surname Xiao from my bones. R1152
