Chapter 353: Strive to accompany him

"Princess, this year's Autumn Festival, this is the list of accompanying personnel, and I invite the princess to take a look."

The autumn festival once every five years is a sacrificial ceremony held by the royal family to thank God for his kindness, and its grandeur can be compared with the royal sacrifice ceremony.

The slightest carelessness is disrespect to God, and if it leads to natural and man-made disasters in the coming year, no one dares to take this responsibility.

Therefore, in the face of such a list, even if you ignore the internal affairs of the harem for a long time, you have to take a look at it in person.

It's not that Miss Li can't be trusted, but because the stakes are really high, so I have to be cautious.

Shi Wang took the list, opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, he put it aside and asked Miss Li a few words.

"It's not that this palace doesn't trust your arrangement and has opinions in your heart, but where did this general Yan, who was in charge of accompanying affairs, come from, and why has this palace never heard of his name?"

"The princess doesn't know that this General Yan is a good friend in His Majesty's army, and he is also a candidate proposed by His Majesty to escort the Autumn Festival. Although General Yan has not made any achievements, he has been precipitated in the army for many years, and he has some experience in the way of leading the army. Therefore, he was selected as the responsible general. ”

Shi Wangwei nodded, now that King Li has grown up, it is indeed time to choose some of his own forces to support.

Seeing him like this, Shi Wang was a little happy for him.

"I wonder if the princess has any other suggestions? This is my first proposed personnel list, and if there is anything wrong, please let the princess know. ”

"This palace is indeed a little strange, I want to ask Miss Li. Why isn't your name on this entourage list? ”

"Me?" Miss Li was puzzled.

"You are the supreme queen of the future son, naturally you are among the entourage, how can there be no reason for a name."

Miss Li was a little embarrassed for a while: "The courtiers have no name so far, and they can't afford the name of the queen, if they are really on the list, I am afraid they will not be able to convince the public." ”

Seeing that her face turned a little pale, Shi Wang felt some pity in his heart.

Everyone in the palace knows that the princess from Heguo is the person on the tip of the king's heart, and the two of them have stayed together for a lot of time, like glue, and they have made a salute in front of the ministers, and they have already confirmed the position of queen, but they are just waiting for His Majesty to ascend the throne.

And Miss Li entered the palace since she was a child, although she came in the name of choosing a concubine after the queen, she was ignored for a long time, and she was only known in recent years when she was in charge of the internal affairs of the harem.

And she has never appeared in front of others, compared to those princesses of the clan, she naturally has less face.

The most important thing is that King Li has little to say to her, let alone pampered, at best she is just a palace official with a background.

These two candidates for the queen in the title, who is higher and who is lower, is naturally clear.

But Shi Wang didn't think so.

King Li does not lack those women who rush up and want to throw themselves into his arms, but there are few people who can shoulder the responsibilities after that.

And the woman in front of her, who works hard for self-improvement, but is sad for not getting grace, is the most rare.

"In this way, this palace will press down this roster first, and then return it to you after a little revision, what do you think?"

Miss Li naturally agreed.

Although Shi Wang can make this decision on his own, it is a major matter of the country, and naturally he cannot just rely on his own assumptions.

In order to maintain the majesty of the king, she still decided to explain the matter to King Li.

But King Li's reaction was not as she expected.

When he heard that Miss Li would accompany him to the ceremony as the queen, there was still a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Why, won't the king?" Shi Wang asked him.

"It's not that the king can't agree." King Li slurred between his words, as if he had some unspeakable distress, "It's just, can you let her wait?" ”

Shi Wang frowned, and asked King Li with his eyes.

King Li hurriedly waved his hand, thinking that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained his intentions: "This king has no intention of not wanting to make her queen, but she is not canonized now, if she is set up as queen like this, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this palace, didn't Si Li also carry out a formal canonization? But one was set up in front of the ministers, and the other was set up after the palace asked the king's opinion. It's the same back position, and what's the difference. ”

"But this year is different, this is the first festival headed by this king, and it is very significant. But this king just wants to let Queen Qi stand beside him, and when this king ascends the throne, wait for another four or five years, and it will be another autumn festival. Why not let Miss Li accompany you at that time? ”

Shi Wang smiled, she knew King Li's thoughts.

If he only took Empress Qi to the ceremony, he would tell the world that she was the first queen in the future, and none of the candidates set up behind her could compare to this first one.

Although he can't marry just one person, he can comfort Zhong Sili and comfort himself in these aspects.

But what's the use?

The autumn festival is imminent, and this is also the most important festival before King Li ascends the throne. I can't guarantee that I will participate in the next festival, so I have to make this festival perfect.

King Li can't favor Queen Qi alone, otherwise the tragedy of the queen's harem will still happen. Now he is not able to make only one person the queen, and he will have to bear the price.

Shi Wang said again: "The queen's position has always been only in the king's heart, not above these red tapes. These are used to show that Your Majesty has a balanced inner and outer heart, and it is also a way to comfort the minister. Although Li Ying is not fortunate enough to win the favor of the king, she deserves the king's affirmation by virtue of her contribution to the harem and the government. It's just a one-time festival, so the king will agree to it for the sake of the palace. ”

King Li glanced up at her, and immediately retracted his eyes, his appearance was really tangled, it was really unprecedented.

Shi Wang laughed: "Why, if the king can arrange his own people to enter the entourage queue, can't the palace arrange for the favored candidates to be included in the queue?" ”

The original meaning of this remark meant that she and King Li both had a good choice for the queen, and it would not be a problem even if they accompanied them together.

Who knew that after King Li heard it, he instantly had a stiff color, and even his face was not so natural.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that his expression was different, he called him softly.

This sound caused King Li's shoulders to shrug slightly, revealing some inexplicable timidity, like a cold wind blowing into his neck by the bright sun, which bounced him up from the spot, and then took two steps back.

"Your Majesty, if you are unwell, let the palace doctor take a look." Shi Wang had never seen him like this, and he was a little panicked in his heart, afraid that he was too busy to support.

Who knows, King Li hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "It's all up to my aunt's arrangement." ”

Later, on the grounds that there were still government affairs to deal with, Princess Yuanping was invited away.
