Chapter 229: From a humble background
"Then I will make this matter public tomorrow in the morning." Thinking that the palace people were always talking about the queen's choice behind their backs, Xiao Shujun felt uncomfortable for Qin Kexin, and this time he had to personally gag their mouths.
It turned out that Xiao Shujun had also heard those rumors and felt sorry for Qin Kexin, so he wanted to settle the queen's affairs quickly.
Qin Kexin nodded in agreement.
But what Xiao Shujun didn't expect was that after telling the ministers about this matter the next morning, the ministers were strongly opposed, led by Su Qifeng and Prime Minister Su Cheng, "Please think twice about the queen, Concubine Xin is from a humble background, although she has the merit of saving the driver, she is not worthy of the queen's position." β
"What did you say?" Seeing someone slandering Qin Kexin like this, Xiao Shujun was furious, he never cared about Qin Kexin's background, where was it the turn of these people to point fingers?
To say that Xiao Shujun is a good emperor, everything conforms to the will of the people, but Li Qin Kexin is the latter, he will never allow anyone to oppose it, this time Xiao Shujun prefers to act arbitrarily to the end, "The matter of Concubine Lixin as the queen is so decided, and after half a month, it will be the queen's canonization ceremony, I don't want to hear any opposition, disperse the dynasty." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left the scene angrily.
Seeing this, the ministers made irresponsible remarks at the bottom.
"How's that okay? The queen is the mother of a country, and the choice of the queen should also be cautious. β
"That's right! Although Concubine Xin is the wife of His Majesty Ming Media, the queen can't look at this. β
"No matter how you say it, you have to be a young lady from a famous family, you can't be a slave."
"The queen's matter is about the country, and the society must not be sloppy."
Xiao Shuwei listened to the ridiculous remarks of the ministers on the side, and he was angry, he knew how much Qin Kexin had done for Xiao Shujun, why was he not worthy of being this queen? These people are clearly too biased and stubborn.
But Xiao Shuwei was not naΓ―ve enough to argue with these ministers, so she also went away angrily.
Qin Kexin also heard that the ministers of the early dynasty said that she was born poor and unworthy of being a queen, and she was also very upset.
"Those ministers are really pedantic, Niangniang, you are the main palace that His Majesty is marrying with a big sedan chair, you should be the queen, they still have to see what their background!" Yu'er was upset for Qin Kexin.
"I'm sure Your Majesty will have his considerations in the end." Qin Kexin couldn't raise his interest, his tone was gloomy, and he still said the same old saying.
On the other side, Xiao Shujun knew that Qin Kexin must have heard about the early dynasty, and was worried that Qin Kexin would misunderstand something, so he hurriedly came to Soft Xiangyuan to comfort Qin Kexin first, and when he arrived at Soft Xiangyuan, Xiao Shujun saw Qin Kexin's gloomy face, and he could be sure that Qin Kexin must have heard something, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Concubine Xin, don't worry, the matter of establishing you as the future will be carried out as promised, and I don't care what others say." β
Although it feels very good to be favored by Xiao Shujun, Qin Kexin is a person who takes the overall situation into account, and knows that if Xiao Shujun wants to establish himself as the queen, if he goes toe-to-toe with those ministers, it will be bad for Xiao Shujun in the final analysis.
So Qin Kexin tried to hide his thoughts and said: "Since the ministers don't approve of me, it is better for Your Majesty to appoint someone else as the queen, as long as Your Majesty only has me in his heart, it doesn't matter what my identity is." β
But Xiao Shujun saw through Qin Kexin's stubbornness at a glance: "If I make someone else a queen, you really won't be jealous?" β
"I ......" Qin Kexin didn't know how to answer for a while, not to mention that Xiao Shujun was the queen of her, even if she accepted a concubine casually, it was enough for Qin Kexin to be uncomfortable for a long time.
Qin Kexin's duplicitous look, Xiao Shujun was full of liking when he saw it, and reached out and pinched his very credible face and said: "Don't worry, this matter is settled, they can say whatever they like, you don't have to pay attention to it." β
That being said, how could Qin Kexin ignore those remarks? Qin Kexin never cared about her poor background before, but now she cares a little, and she will think about why she didn't give birth better, so that no one can object to becoming Xiao Shujun's queen, but who can change her background?
Qin Kexin didn't know what to do in the face of this matter, she couldn't just go her own way, and asked Xiao Shujun to make herself the queen, but she couldn't bear to think that Xiao Shujun's queen was someone else, so she didn't make any reply, she wanted to let the situation develop like this, and see how it ended in the end.
But what Qin Kexin didn't expect was that because Xiao Shujun said his willful words on the first day of the early dynasty, the next morning, all the ministers gathered outside the palace hall, and knelt on the ground together, and the ministers who took the lead said, "Please think twice about the matter after the establishment, although Concubine Xin is virtuous and virtuous, she was born poor after all, and she is not worthy of being the mother of a country." β
These words pierced Qin Kexin's heart like a needle prick, this picture is so familiar, Qin Kexin recalled that in order to save Xiao Shujun, he begged these ministers, knelt in the same position, and asked the emperor to send troops to support Xiao Shujun, it can be seen that these ministers are loyal and righteous people, and now they don't want to be the queen, they must be really for Xiao Shujun's good.
And if Xiao Shujun didn't listen, he would definitely hurt the hearts of these ministers like the previous emperor.
Xiao Shujun didn't want to pay attention to these stubborn ministers, so he let these ministers kneel outside, but Qin Kexin couldn't ignore them, after all, this matter was caused by her, so he ignored the obstruction of his subordinates and came to the ministers who knelt down.
When the minister led by Qin Kexin came over, he said unceremoniously: "Concubine Xin, please think about the country and the society, and give up the position of queen." β
This sentence was like a sharp sword piercing Qin Kexin's chest, it was not uncomfortable, and endured the pain in his chest, Qin Kexin spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back first, I won't be the queen, don't worry." β
As soon as Qin Kexin said this, the ministers who knelt down talked about it, and after a while, the ministers led by him got up first, turned around and said to the other adults: "Since Concubine Xin has promised so, let's go back first." β
The ministers were also tired of kneeling, and when they saw this, they got up one after another and scattered.
"Niangniang......" Yu'er looked at Qin Kexin's painful expression from the side, wanting to step forward to comfort her, but she didn't know where to speak.
Qin Kexin made a gesture that she didn't have to say anything, and walked straight to Yuanxiangyuan, she just wanted to be alone now.
"Don't look at how many pounds and taels you are, and you still want to be a queen?" But halfway through, I didn't expect to meet Xiao Ruoxue, who was temporarily living in the palace.
Of course, Xiao Ruoxue, a person who is so good, also heard that the minister strongly opposed Qin Kexin becoming the queen, and happened to meet Qin Kexin, of course he had to mock a few words.
"Even if our mother is not the queen, it will not be your turn, what are you proud of?" Yu'er spoke out for Qin Kexin to teach Xiao Ruoxue a lesson.
But this time Xiao Ruoxue was not as angry as before, seeing Qin Kexin's disgraced appearance, Yu'er couldn't get angry at what Xiao Ruoxue said, and then deliberately angry with Qin Kexin: "She can't be the queen, why can't I be the queen?" She came from a poor background, but I am a dignified county lord, as long as I have the opportunity to become the emperor's concubine and the queen's position, wouldn't I just want to get it? β
"You want to be beautiful, how can Your Majesty allow you to be his concubine?" Yu'er said disdainfully.
When Xiao Ruoxue wanted to refute it, a provocative voice suddenly appeared behind her: "Even if Concubine Xin is not the queen, the queen's position, you can't deserve it, although you were better than her when you were born, but you are not as good as her in terms of talent and morality." β
Xiao Ruoxue turned her head and saw that it was the person who helped Xiao Shujun win the throne before, it seemed that his name was Wei Chiyan, he was now a celebrity in front of the emperor, Xiao Ruoxue didn't dare to offend, didn't say anything, and didn't refute it, just a look of displeasure.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Kexin spoke at this time.
Wei Chiyan deliberately raised his voice and said: "Didn't the emperor say that the queen's position must belong to Concubine Xin, and after half a month, there will be a canonization ceremony, and the minister is here to discuss with Concubine Xin about the queen's canonization dress." β
Hearing this, Qin Kexin smiled helplessly, thinking that he hadn't even talked about the dress before he had even written a few words......
And this Wei Chiyan is really weird, he helped Xiao Shujun seize the imperial power and make military exploits, obviously he can ask for the title of general or chief of the guard like Gu Liang, but he just said that he was no longer interested in fighting and killing, and he was going to take charge of the Clothing Bureau.
Qin Kexin knew that in fact, he was really tired after so many years of lying on his salary.
Now that the revenge has to be avenged, he just wants to spend the rest of his life easily, and he doesn't want to get involved in other things.
Xiao Ruoxue left the scene angrily, because she couldn't ignore that although the ministers didn't want Qin Kexin to be the queen, the only queen candidate in Xiao Shujun's heart was still Qin Kexin, Wei Chiyan looked at the back of Xiao Ruoxue leaving angrily, and knew that her plan had been achieved.
Just now he heard Xiao Ruoxue's disrespectful remarks to Qin Kexin from a distance, so he thought of coming over to help Qin Kexin break the siege, and then he thought of stimulating Xiao Ruoxue by making a dress for Qin Kexin.
However, Yu Chiyan really wanted to sew the queen's dress for Qin Kexin, because in his heart, except for Qin Kexin, there was no second person worthy of sitting on the queen's throne.
"Don't mention the dress beforehand, I've already decided not to be a queen."
Wei Chiyan knew that Qin Kexin must have done this for the sake of the overall situation, he could understand Qin Kexin, but he also knew that with Xiao Shujun's love for Qin Kexin, Xiao Shujun would not allow other women to be his queen.
So he said: "I believe that there will be a day when I will sew the queen's dress for you." β
This is a good wish, Qin Kexin smiled brightly when she heard it, "I hope so." β
Xiao Shujun saw that the ministers who were originally kneeling in front of the main hall disappeared, and asked what happened to Gonggong Li beside him? Li Gong, who was beside him, said fairly: "It was Concubine Xin, who personally said in front of the ministers that she would definitely not be the queen, and those ministers left with peace of mind." β
