Chapter 20: Harem Politics

"The prime minister thinks so too?"

Murong Bo pinched his eyebrows, he hadn't thought about this matter, but he had so many sons.

Who should this East Palace be given to and who the prince should set up, still needs to be considered.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Zhang said was for the sake of our country, and the minister agreed."

Wei Siyun said seriously, it doesn't matter who the prince is, he is only worried about the future of the Wei family.

Zhang Ming, the head of the household, has always been very worried about the position of the prince, His Majesty has not established the prince for a long time, and the princes have been secretly fighting, which is completely detrimental to the country.

If His Majesty had set up the prince earlier, those princes would no longer be fighting like they are now.

"Your Majesty, the East Palace must not be left without an owner."

Zhang Ming knelt directly on the ground, for so many years, because he was older and a veteran of several dynasties, His Majesty authorized him not to kneel and worship.

Now, for the sake of this East Palace, he made such a big gift in front of the courtiers.

Seeing this, Murong Bo knew that this matter had to be put on the agenda, but now he chose a prince to come out, and he couldn't do it.

"Zhang Aiqing, please get up, this matter has really not been considered all these years, since Zhang Aiqing and the prime minister have said so, I will consider it as appropriate."

Murong Bo had a headache, and he had been pressing this matter for a long time.

In the harem, the queen and several concubines were also tempted several times.

Now, it is indeed time for him to give a result as soon as possible and set up the crown prince as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As long as His Majesty promised to consider this matter, I believe that it will not be long before there will be a master in the East Palace.

"Retreat."

Today, many courtiers are a little frightened.

I am afraid that the matter will involve me, and I am afraid that His Majesty will be angry with others.

Fortunately, it is now time to go down.

It's just that the position of the crown prince will fall into whose hands it is still unknown.

Back in the imperial study, Murong Bo leaned back in his chair with a headache, not wanting to look at those twists and turns.

The more I look at it, the more my head hurts, so just press it.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here."

Murong Bo was about to take a nap when he heard this voice.

This speed is fast, and as soon as the court is down, these women have arrived.

"Announce it."

He leaned back in his chair and took a nap with his eyes closed.

A scent came from the tip of his nose, and he opened his eyes to see a beautiful woman standing in front of him.

"Why is Concubine Ai here?"

Murong Bo was not very interested, and it was obvious that he was still angry about the theft of the treasury.

"The concubine heard that the treasury was stolen last night, and she was worried about the emperor, so she brought you some nourishing soup today."

After speaking, the palace maid behind her immediately brought the soup.

The father-in-law standing on the side is used to seeing it, and this concubine is also a little bit of craftsmanship.

"The soup boiled by Concubine Ai is naturally excellent. It's just that I still have a lot of things to deal with, so let's put them aside for now. ”

Murong Bo was not in the mood to greet her today, and he also knew that she was not here for the theft of the treasury last night, but for the matter of the East Palace that had been discussed in the court today.

This position is coveted by a prince, as a concubine, she has her own prince, and naturally it is no exception.

It's normal for the concubine to come to him to inquire about the news, but the harem doesn't interfere in politics.

If she dared to ask this question today, she would have been left behind.

Wei Shiya is a smart person, and she naturally understands this truth.

"Your Majesty, the theft of the treasury is good for you to leave to your subordinates, you must not be so worried, lest you hurt your body."

Wei Guifei is also the sister of Prime Minister Wei, and for so many years, she has been promoted to concubine by virtue of her own ability.

"I know, is there anything else that Concubine Ai is here today?"

Murong Bo was testing her, and he wanted to see if she knew anything about the court at the moment.

"But there is one thing about the concubine."

Hearing this, the father-in-law standing beside Murong Bo looked nervous, obviously he was giving Wei Shiya a look.

At this time, you must not mention the matter of the prince, otherwise it will be over.

Wei Shiya still looked at Murong Bo as if she didn't see her father-in-law's eyes.

He also had the patience to wait for her to speak.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The concubine hasn't been back to her parents' house for a long time, and she misses it a little, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow the concubine to ask the little niece to enter the palace to accompany the concubine?"

Wei Shiya said sincerely, even Murong Bo didn't see whether what she said was true or false.

"Just a little thing?"

Murong Bo obviously didn't believe it, she would send soup to this imperial study every day, it shouldn't be just for such a trivial matter.

Although Wei Siyun is her brother, he is just and belongs to the royalists.

If it is said that their brothers and sisters colluded and wanted to send the seventh child to the position of prince, it is unlikely that they will be able to do so.

But it's hard to guarantee that Wei Siyun has been pretending to be for so many years, if there are any hands and feet behind his back that he doesn't know, it is also possible.

"Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't seen that little niece for a long time, can you let the concubine announce her into the palace to see what she looks like now?"

Such a thing, as a concubine, she originally had the right.

It's just that the queen pressed and didn't allow her Xuanwei family to enter the palace.

Therefore, she had to come to the emperor.

"Ai Fei, you can make your own decisions about such a trivial matter, why bother to ask me?"

Seeing that she was so sincere, Murong Bo obviously didn't look like she was lying.

He also knew that she had always loved that little niece.

It's normal that she misses it after such a long time.

Seeing that she didn't mention the matter of the prince at all, his heart felt a lot more comfortable.

Since she is not involved in politics, these things are left to her.

"The whole Tiande belongs to Your Majesty, and the concubines also know that they shouldn't bother Your Majesty with this trivial matter, but the concubines asked the queen for advice, but the concubines didn't allow it, and the concubines had no choice."

Although Wei Shiya's words are not wrong, but in the ears of others, she clearly told the emperor that this is the person who the queen mother pressured her not to let her see her mother's family.

"What did the queen say?"

Murong Bo frowned slightly, the queen has always been in charge of the affairs of the harem, but she is also in the position of a noble concubine, and the queen has no reason to stop her from seeing her.

"Niangniang didn't say anything, it's just that the concubine misses that girl, can Your Majesty agree?"

The words are excellent to the end, and if you talk too much, it will only cause discord between the emperor and the queen.

She's a smart person, and she only needs to stir up a little bit of contradiction, and that's enough.

"Go ahead, whoever you want to see in the future, you can make your own decisions, you don't have to ask me. If the queen asks, she will say what I said. ”

She can become a concubine, and she does have some ability.

He still needs to decide carefully about the position of the prince.

"Thank you, concubine, Your Majesty, then Your Majesty is busy first, you remember to drink soup."

Wei Shiya blessed her body and left the imperial study.

She is very measured, and she can't stay in a place like the imperial study for a long time, otherwise it is easy to fall into the mouth.
