The ministers who have seen the anger of the king at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet know that the gap between the king and the queen is getting bigger and bigger.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he didn't give the king a step in public, for fear that the two of them had a long-standing grudge.

If it continues like this, the monarch and the mother of the country are not in harmony, and they cannot continue to inherit the heirs, how can this son inherit for thousands of generations.

And Shi Wang and Princess Sangping were even more worried when they saw the two of them.

On the second day, Princess Sangping summoned Shi Wang into the palace and wiped her tears to ask for her opinion.

"If it's just a discord, it's just a cold stone, and there is a day when the cold stone is covered with heat. But now they all regard each other as enemies, and their homes are not considered homes, so how can they govern a country well? ”

Shi Wang was also very strange why Wei Qin became what he is now.

In the past, she also indulged in the mountains and wilderness, the five of them were in a line, how harmonious, Wei Qin at that time was still laughing, and often coquettish to Aunt Niu, she and the prince at that time, although not affectionate, also experienced life and death together.

Probably since the sacrifice of General Wei Zhan, Wei Qin has changed as a person. There was no laughter, only the thought of revenge. Then he entered the palace alone, unaccompanied, and the deep palace was long and the night was long, and I was afraid that even people would be as cold as the moonlight.

Shi Wang is also sympathetic to her suffering, but her current appearance is also unable to persuade her.

After all, what Empress Dai did was the worry in the hearts of the ministers.

A few days later, several ministers signed a joint letter, and the proposal was faintly revealed in their words.

Although no one dared to second the book, no one objected to it.

But Shi Wang still misses the old love and doesn't want Wei Qin to fall into such an embarrassing situation.

"Your Majesty, the Wei family has been loyal and good for generations, and has also made great contributions to the son's attack on the country, and Empress Dai is the last bloodline of the Wei family. I also hope that Your Majesty will thank the Wei family for the sacrificed heroes and martyrs, and reserve some glory for Empress Dai. ”

King Zheng snorted coldly: "The general speaks for the queen like this, can the queen be grateful for the general's kindness?" ”

Shi Wang closed his mind.

She didn't dare to say anything about her relationship with Wei Qin now, but it was indeed colder than that of strangers.

"But since Sister Wang speaks for her sister-in-law, it does have some effect. So I will consult with the queen, and if she agrees with the king to take another concubine, let her be left on the throne of queen. ”

Shi Wang was surprised.

Concubines again? Is the king going to abolish the monogamy that was established at the beginning of the founding of the kingdom?

The ministers were hotly discussed for a while.

This formulation is to open the king's gratitude to his wife for life and death, never abandon the thought, the king and the first queen, are also a husband and wife, never married.

Now that the political king wants to break this ancestral system, although there is some disrespect for the previous kings, but now there are no heirs, and it is advantageous to accept concubines.

None of the ministers objected.

Shi Wang sighed slightly in his heart, his mother was used to seeing the loyalty of her elders in the past, and she was affected by this national system, so she was quite unhappy with her father and princess, which caused the two to drift apart. Now that her descendants have abolished this system, isn't it a great irony?

After going down to the court, King Zheng walked to the queen's palace with a smug expression, and then divided the crowd and talked to the queen alone.

No one knew what His Majesty and the queen had said, but the anger that the king couldn't hide from his smile after leaving the palace showed that this negotiation was not peaceful.

After that, the king ordered to find a beautiful woman in the country to enter the palace as a concubine, which frightened the people of the attack, and I don't know what the intention was.

The man wants to be able to take another room, and the woman wants to marry the person he wants, and he is willing to be a concubine.

But of course, it is even more dissatisfied.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was promoted that husband and wife were loving and the family was complete. Now that the king is the first to make an exception, how can he set an example.

But no matter how much the people objected, the king's decree could not be taken back.

For a time, several incense carts carrying beautiful women drove into the palace in order to obtain the favor of the most honorable people, and to be famous and advantageous.

King Zheng even invited Princess Sangping to choose a concubine with Shi Wang, in order to seek family harmony.

After a round of selection, the king ordered the portraits of the few people left behind to be sent to the queen's palace, and let her see them in the name of "helping to choose".

But Shi Wang knew that these were just His Majesty's revenge.

What Wei Qin can't give up is the glory left by his ancestors, and no matter how unwilling he is, he can't extinguish this glory. For this reason, it doesn't hurt that her position as queen is not exclusive to one person.

The two of them, if they are friends, can still cherish each other, and now that they have reached the point of torturing each other like this, it has to be said that it is time and luck.

When the concubine is chosen, it is carried out with great fanfare, and other serious things cannot be left behind.

Shi Wang was discussing some military affairs in the Ning Mansion, but the King of the Government suddenly came to the mansion in disguise.

"For a long time, there will be a lot of chrysanthemums planted in Zeqing Mansion."

Indeed, Ningfu rarely planted chrysanthemums in the past, but this year suddenly planted a lot, and the courtyard is full of autumn chrysanthemums of different flower types, different sizes and different colors, which is also a great pleasing thing to the eye.

Ning Zeqing only bowed his head slightly, but did not answer.

Shi Wang remembered that His Majesty had given a chrysanthemum jade pendant in the past, which seemed to have a deep meaning, and he had also bumped into Ning Zeqing's burning of chrysanthemum petals, which must be a very important thing for the two of them.

When I think about it, I know who this chrysanthemum means.

Now that Ning Zeqing has planted a lot of chrysanthemums, it should be the intention of letting go of the past.

The political king came to chat with Ning Zeqing and Shi Wang, with a smile on his face, and he must have been very satisfied with the choice of concubine recently.

With that, it was time to eat.

The king, who had planned to leave, stopped and stayed to eat together.

The two were puzzled, and they did not refuse.

When the dishes were served, the king pondered, and his eyes wandered between the bowls, and finally he made chopsticks for the bowl of lotus seeds, wolfberries, chrysanthemum wine.

This dish uses three kinds of herbs in a row, white, red and yellow in one bowl. Scoop a spoonful into the mouth, sweet and soft glutinous, extremely smooth, and have the beauty of color and fragrance, and the king praised it again and again.

"I wonder who made this dish? The craftsmanship is indeed good. The king asked.

Wu Qingsheng seemed to know what he meant, and retreated.

Before long, Bai Luo Tingting stood at the table.

"I've seen the king and the two generals." Bai Luo's voice is extremely warm and amiable.

The prince lifted her up with his own hand and asked softly, "I like your craftsmanship very much. Would you like to follow me into the palace and cook for me alone? ”

Bai Luo raised his head, his eyes were incredible, and then he lowered his head, and a trace of shame appeared.

Ning Zeqing has to speak about this matter.

Ning Zeqing naturally didn't want to stop him: "Since Your Majesty values it, you can go to the palace." Take care of Your Majesty, and it will be your blessing. ”

Bai Luo softly responded with a "yes".

So, when the king left, he brought Bai Luo into the palace together.

The next day, King Zheng announced that the second princess of Zixi had been selected and named Empress Qin, ranking at the same level as Empress Dai, regardless of high or low.

This person is a medicine girl in Ning Zeqing's mansion.

Although the two princesses belong to the same level, one is a general's family, full of loyalty, and the other is a commoner, just a medicine girl, which caused an uproar in the whole country.

That night, Empress Dai smashed a piece of porcelain in the hall, but no one asked.
