King Chen looked ugly and wanted to slap Qi Jin to death here.
What does the Queen's adopted prince have to do with him? Is he having so much fun jumping around here?
Jumping up and down like a clown, isn't it just because his father is the Marquis of Zhongyi and his mother is the eldest princess?
When King Chen thought of the jade Ruyi he had just given to the Queen, he felt ironic.
Everything goes well?
It was others who got what he wanted, not himself. At the moment, he just felt like a fool, and all his good mood was gone.
However, it was clear that no one cared about King Chen's mood at this moment.
Emperor Mu's expression was joyful and he quickly raised his hand: "Today's focus is on Queen Qianqiu. Let's talk about the adoption for now. If the Queen is willing and Rong Cang agrees, then everyone is happy."
"Congratulations to the Empress, congratulations to the Empress." Qi Jin stood up and deliberately poked some people's lungs at this time, "The Empress deserves to be the empress of the world. With this vision, she is better than some people." too much."
"You're just a poor talker." Emperor Mu frowned, "Let's decide the matter like this for the time being. Later, let Qintian Supervisor choose a good and auspicious day to officially hold an adoption ceremony."
"Your Majesty, it's better to choose a day than to hit it." The queen turned to look at Emperor Mu with a gentle smile on her lips, "Today, the princes and ministers are all here. Isn't it better to be happy while I am happy? Really? Just issue the Taoist edict tomorrow."
Emperor Mu looked at her impatient look and couldn't help but sigh.
The queen really missed her son like crazy and was afraid of another accident, so she wanted to settle the matter immediately.
"Okay." He nodded and ordered Yang Dexi to call in several important officials outside.
Uncle Xie Guo, Taifu Qin, Shangshu Dou, Prince Rong, and several other old princes entered the palace one after another.
Emperor Mu slowly looked around: "The Queen adopts Rong Cang as her legitimate son today. Do you have any objections?"
"Father!" King Chen's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, pleading sadly, "I beg my father to have mercy on my mother and concubine, at least...at least let my mother and concubine know about this..."
Emperor Mu glanced at him coldly and wanted to ask him, when you poisoned Rong Cang, did you treat him as your brother? Did your mother-in-law ever regard him as her own son?
When you bewitched me, did you ever think of me as your father?
However, today was an important day, and he really didn't want to let this unlucky thing ruin his mood. He turned away indifferently and looked at King Rong: "Prince Rong, do you object?"
"My brother, I couldn't agree more." King Rong knew the current situation and bowed to reply, "Brother, you are wise."
"Uncle." Emperor Mu looked at the head of the Xie family, "Do you object?"
Uncle Xie Guo replied respectfully: "I am very happy that the empress has given birth to her beloved son. How can I object?"
"Uncle Da Guo doesn't object, and Uncle Xiao Guo won't object either, right?" Emperor Mu turned to look at Uncle Xie Xiaoguo, who was sitting not far from him, with a gentle smile, "How do you feel about going out to handle cases with Rong Cang? "
Uncle Xie Xiaoguo stood up and said, "Back to the Emperor, I am convinced of His Royal Highness. This case handling has only further verified his ability and character. I admire him deeply."
Emperor Mu hummed, and finally looked at the highly respected Taifu Qin, the former emperor's master.
"Does the Master object?"
Qin Zhilan lowered her eyes and looked quietly at the hem of her skirt embroidered with begonia flowers. Today, Queen Qianqiu, she specially picked a luxurious and bright dress, but no one would notice her today.
Everyone's eyes were on the King of War and his wife.
"I have no objection." Taifu Qin lowered his eyebrows, and his steady and reserved voice sounded in the hall, "His Royal Highness, King Zhan, has always been excellent. The fact that the Queen can adopt King Zhan as his son is a blessing for both the Queen and His Highness, and it is also a great blessing for the Chu State. A blessing."
Everyone knows what this sentence means.
Everyone present also understood what it meant for the queen to adopt the king as her son.
The queen's adoption means that the emperor establishes a heir apparent.
Grand Tutor Qin approved this decision.
He even understood that the emperor was already somewhat dissatisfied with the Qin family. He asked this question today. Although he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he couldn't give the second answer.
And as his answer came to fruition, Qin Zhilan already understood how ridiculous it was for her to negotiate with Chu Yunfei before.
Whoever the emperor wants to appoint as the prince does not need anyone's support at all.
He would pave the way for the prince in his mind in advance, and even if there were no courtiers to support him originally, he would force some courtiers to support him.
What's more, the war king has an army, military power, and military merit.
One more queen and Xie family would be enough.
The support of Uncle Xie alone was enough to make most of the unsteady civil servants in the court switch sides. What's more... not to mention that the imperial concubine and King Chen lost power. Do they have any other choice?
Qin Zhilan raised her eyes slightly and looked at King Chen who was kneeling in the hall and ignored.
She was indeed wrong. It was a mistake to go to Chu Yunfei in the first place, and it was even more wrong to go to Princess Chen.
She thought that the Qin family's stance would make the King of War feel in danger, but in fact it just pushed the Qin family into a very passive position.
If she had been able to take a step back and not force Chu Yunfei to give up her position, but instead willingly become the war king's concubine, would the outcome be different now?
She does not need to be given a marriage to the son of the King of Honor, but can peacefully be the concubine of the King of War, and later the crown prince's concubine. When the prince ascends the throne, she can at least get the position of a noble concubine or a good concubine... With her status With family background and talent, Chu Yunfei would not be her opponent.
Sooner or later, the position of queen will still be hers.
But she made a wrong move and lost everything.
Since there was no objection, the adoption ceremony was carried out quickly.
Emperor Mu ordered people to prepare tea and asked Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei to serve tea to the queen. Quan should go through the process.
As for the rest, just leave it to Zongzhengji Temple and the inner court.
The queen looked at Rong Cang with joy.
"Yang Dexi, tomorrow I will issue an edict to announce to the world that the emperor's ninth son Rong Cang will officially adopt the name of the queen and become my legitimate son." Emperor Mu ordered, "The edict must be strict and cannot be fooled."
Yang Dexi accepted the order: "I obey the order."
"In addition, Prince Ei and Zongzhengji are responsible for the Jade Butterfly changes."
"I obey the decree."
"Although the adoption is a little simpler, I am happy in my heart, and other things are not so important." The queen looked at Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei, "I hope you two are willing to recognize me as a mother, rather than out of resentment. Any consideration.”
Chu Yunfei stood up and knelt side by side with Rong Cang, smiling gently and respectfully: "Mother has forgotten, the daughter-in-law felt that the queen was gentle and amiable when she first saw her. At that time, the daughter-in-law never thought that one day, the queen would adopt her. I have Rong Cang as my son."
Rong Cang was not so obedient, and only said: "My son is not good at words, and all decisions are made from the heart. If I am not willing, even the father cannot force my son to agree."
"Okay, okay." The queen was happy and said three good words in a row, "Then let's get started."
The eunuchs soon became busy again.
Yang Dexi ordered two soft kneeling mats to be brought, and two female officials were holding trays with freshly brewed tea on them.
Rong Cang took a cup of tea from the tray and handed it to the queen with both hands: "Please drink tea, queen mother."
