"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's concubine is here!"
Yang Qingyin was writing when she heard the report and said without raising her head: "Let her in!"
"yes!"
After a few breaths, Yuanchun was introduced into the main hall, and then paid homage respectfully according to the etiquette.
"Kowtow to the Queen!"
After glancing at Yuan Chun, Yang Qingyin lowered her head and said, "Get up, come over and grind ink for me!"
"yes!"
Arriving at the side of the Queen's desk, Yuanchun poured a few drops of water into the inkstone, then picked up the ink stick and began to rub it.
Just when Yuanchun wanted to read what the queen had written, he heard the latter suddenly say: "I intend to make you the crown princess..."
This sentence alone shocked Yuanchun, making her almost think she had heard wrong.
"Queen mother...you...you said..."
Turning her head, the Queen said calmly: "I said... I want to make you the Crown Princess!"
This time Yuanchun really heard clearly, but the next moment she thought the queen was joking, although there was no way it was a joke.
Yuanchun never dared to think about this princess...the future empress of the world.
"Mother... son and minister... son and minister..."
Seeing her stuttering, Yang Qingyin said slightly dissatisfied: "You are usually generous and steady, but why are you acting so shy and shy today..."
"My son is scared..." Yuanchun immediately knelt down.
Logically speaking, she would be happy to know that she was going to be sealed, but Yuanchun's reaction was beyond the queen's expectation.
Continuing to write, Yang Qingyin asked: "Afraid...what are you afraid of?"
"My son has little talent, little morals, and little knowledge. How dare he succeed to the title of Crown Princess!"
"Furthermore... there are many inappropriate things in my mother's family. If my son succeeds as the Crown Princess, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to His Highness. Please take back my mother's orders!"
What Yuanchun said made Yang Qingyin even more satisfied.
Yuanchun has no intention of competing for favor and thinks of the prince wholeheartedly. This is an extremely valuable quality, and she has noticed it in the past few years.
Yuanchun was called today. It was originally an interview for the appointment of the crown princess. Yuanchun's reaction satisfied the queen.
"What happened back then was nothing wrong with your family, so don't think too much about it!"
"What's more, since you are married, you are a member of the Zhu family and have nothing to do with your family!"
The queen's comforting words failed to alleviate Yuan Chun's panic. She really felt that she could not be a princess.
"Mother...my sons and ministers are too stupid to be worthy of the throne of the Eastern Palace!"
"As for the virtuous and virtuous daughter in the world, please ask the queen mother to issue an edict to select her. Only in this way can the world be convinced!"
From the last sentence, the Queen had already heard that Yuanchun still had concerns about what happened back then, and was afraid of the opposition of the Donghuamen heroes back then.
It’s normal to have such worries, but they are indeed over the top.
Back then, the Jia family chose to wait and see, which was the choice of most people. It was just because of their high position that they became the first to be beaten.
As for the nobles who chose to wait and see back then, except for Jia's family and dozens of others who were treated as typical examples, most of the other nobles are still serving today.
The most essential point is that the Jia family is not Prince Li's family and has never supported Prince Li's behavior, so they really have nothing wrong.
It's only strange that the Jia family had a higher status back then, so it was such a bad luck.
Of course, it is also because his family is representative. Now the emperor and the emperor are kind and filial, so the benefits of the reduction can fall on them.
Otherwise, a key candidate like the Crown Princess should really be selected from the world again as Yuanchun said.
"I have discussed this matter with His Majesty, you don't have to worry too much!"
"You are a good boy, with a pure heart and thoughtful thoughts. You must take good care of the prince in the future so that you can live up to our great trust in you!"
The "we" in the Queen's mouth refers to the emperor and the empress. This sentence carries a very heavy weight.
The emperor has also known about this, and the biggest worry for Yuan Chun has been eliminated, and she is not as panicked as before.
Immediately afterwards, her heart was filled with excitement, joy and excitement.
This is the Crown Princess, the future Queen of the Middle Palace, the queen who is inferior to one person and above ten thousand people.
In order to avoid the discovery of his change of mentality, Yuanchun, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head, while still refusing: "Mother... I really don't want to be a minister!"
Seeing that Yuanchun still refused, Yang Qingyin sighed inwardly and didn't know how to persuade him.
"stand up!"
"yes!"
Yuanchun stood up and still lowered his head, not daring to look at the queen.
"This matter... is awaiting His Majesty's final decision. I called you here today to explain it to you. I want you to be prepared!"
Yang Qingyin solemnly warned: "After you go back, don't make any noise and just wait for the decree!"
"My son understands!"
Picking up the pen again, Yang Qingyin looked at the table and ordered: "Go back!"
"Yes... I am resigning!"
After Yuanchun went out, Yang Qingyin asked: "Shoufen, tell me... how did this child react?"
In the conversation just now, only Li Shoufen, her confidant, was present, so the Queen would ask her at this moment.
Although she has been with the Queen for decades, Li Shoufen did not dare to answer such a sensitive topic casually.
"Your Majesty, it is human nature for the prince's concubine to have concerns!"
"Do you think...righting her upright will benefit the prince?"
"My servant has little knowledge. How can I dare to speak nonsense about such a big matter?"
"You... don't worry, if you don't want to say it, forget it!"
While writing this, Yang Qingyin continued: "As the end of the year approaches, I want to commend the ladies of each family and urge the Shang Gong Bureau and Shang Yi Bureau to sort it out as soon as possible..."
"In addition, the clothes prepared by Shang Gong Bureau, you should also go and see if the ready-made clothes have been put into storage!"
"yes!"
The queen's mother-in-law is not just a talker, she also has her own errands to complete.
In addition to receiving the married women inside and outside, they also have to manage the rewards and punishments of the married women. The matters are complicated and difficult to explain briefly.
Let's say that when Yuanchun left the main hall of Kunning Palace, Baochai and Baochai were still in the corridor outside. When they saw her coming out, they greeted her.
"Sister Yuanchun, you haven't been here for some time. We have always missed you!"
"Yeah...Sister Yuanchun, let's go sit and talk!"
Listening to Baochai Xiangyun's warm invitation, Yuan Chun was not interested at all at the moment. She just wanted to return to the East Palace as soon as possible to release the emotions she had held in her heart.
"Two sisters, what a coincidence... I have important matters in the East Palace, so I can't talk to you this time!"
"Next time... Next time I find a chance and invite you to visit the East Palace!"
"Farewell!"
After saying these few words, Yuanchun left in a hurry. He and she were completely different people on weekdays.
"Sister Yuanchun... what's going on?" Xiangyun asked.
"Maybe something happened!" Baochai couldn't figure it out either.
However, not long after Yuanchun left the palace, Princess Rui Chen Zhi arrived at Kunning Palace.
After learning that Yuanchun had been summoned to the palace, Chen Zhi naturally wanted to come to investigate the situation, otherwise she would feel like a cat scratching her head.
When she saw Baochai and Baochai still playing chess, Chen Zhi felt uncomfortable because both of them were related to Yuanchun.
But her cousin Chen Lan was excluded from attending school.
"Oh...the two sisters are so leisurely and relaxed!"
Seeing that it was Chen Zhi who was arriving, Baochai and his two brothers didn't dare to neglect, so they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"See Princess!"
"Get up... Miss Xue has become more and more beautiful after not entering the palace for some days!"
During this period, the queen didn't want to pay attention to her daughter-in-law's activities, so she skipped the morning and dusk routines. Chen Zhi seldom came to the palace recently.
"Princess is too praised!"
The focus today is to meet the queen, so Chen Zhi said: "You guys play chess first, and I'll talk to you later!"
After Chen Zhi left, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief. She disliked Princess Rui very much and secretly thought she would deal with it properly later.
