Chapter 1817: Spreading the Branches for the Royal Family
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Imperial grandmother, I have already said that you don't need to worry about choosing a concubine. β
The Empress Dowager reprimanded angrily: "Yuan Jing, you are the emperor, don't be so naΓ―ve!" β
Seeing that the conversation inside turned into a quarrel, Zhao Shu walked in and said, "Queen Mother, you are so loud, aren't you afraid to wake Yan'er up?" β
Yan'er was sleeping peacefully on the bed in the middle of the room.
The Empress Dowager gasped, pointed at Zhao Yuanjing, and said, "King Qin, you came just in time, and you have been looking for Yan'er for the past few days." Tell me, how many disputes have arisen in the court over Yan'er's disappearance! The mourning family said that you want to spoil the queen, you can. But the queen can't be reborn, so you have to choose another concubine and spread out for the royal family! β
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then you are not qualified to be this emperor!" The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, "You only think about the queen alone, have you ever thought about the subjects of the Great Zhou?" β
"Queen Mother, it's almost there." Zhao Shu spoke.
He found a chair and sat down, stretched his legs, and said softly, "What's the urgency of choosing a concubine?" You also said that Yuan Jing is only in his twenties. He has only been on the throne for three years and still has decades to have children. Why bother with things that are so long. β
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a while, glared at him, and said, "Bastard, you are cursing your mother!" β
"Erchen doesn't dare." Zhao Shu said, "But now that Yan'er has just come back, you are here shouting to force Yuan Jing to choose a concubine, what kind of system will it become?" β
"If you don't talk about it today, you have to say it tomorrow. If this matter is not resolved, the mourning family will not be able to eat for a day and sleep well. β
Zhao Shu didn't bother to say this to her, and asked Zhao Yuanjing instead, "Your Majesty, why did you send Yan'er here?" How about his injuries? β
Zhao Yuanjing said: "The queen is a little unwell, so I will send Yan'er here for the time being." β
The Empress Dowager said: "Now she is delicate, and the child is back, and she doesn't say that she takes care of ......."
Zhao Yuanjing said coldly: "If the imperial grandmother is unwilling to take care of Yan'er, I will take him away." In the past few days, Yan'er has disappeared, and the queen has trouble sleeping and eating, and her body has been broken. Is it her fault too? β
"How could the mourning family say that they were unwilling to take care of Yan'er? If you follow the meaning of the mourning family, it is good to leave Yan'er in Ci'an Palace all the time, and the mourning family guarantees that he is safe and sound, and there is no difference at all! The Empress Dowager couldn't help but complain when she said it, "The Empress looks shrewd, who knows that she is useless, even such a young child can't stand it......"
Zhao Yuanjing suddenly stood up, went into the inner room, picked up Yan'er with the blanket, and left directly.
The Empress Dowager looked stunned, and it took a while to react, and she hurriedly followed out, shouting, "Yuan Jing, what are you doing?" β
"The imperial grandmother is old, so it's better to enjoy the blessings quietly."
Zhao Yuanjing didn't look back, and took Yan'er back to his Chengqian Palace.
He asked Liu Dequan to find the two oldest and kind grandmothers, and brought Aunt Mo Chun from Fengyi Palace to take care of Yan'er.
The Empress Dowager almost died of anger.
She wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Zhao Shu.
"Yan'er just came back, and you just chattered endlessly. The queen is sick again, you keep talking about choosing a concubine, Yuan Jing is already in a bad mood, you are like this, can he be happy? He shook his head, "You're really old. β
"He's got a big temper too!"
"Yuan Jing is not the same kid he used to be. He is already a son of heaven who can take charge of himself. Zhao Shu said, "He is already busy, and the Northern Qi is shun, and there are a lot of things over there." He had to straighten it out one by one. Can't you be a little more considerate of him? β
