Chapter 132 He wants to choose his concubine himself

In the midst of the discussion, King Shun stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is such a big deal to appoint a crown prince. Should I ask the prince's brother what he wants?"

"If you ask the prince about this matter, most likely it won't be possible. This matter has been discussed no less than ten times, and the prince has pushed back every time." Taifu Lu said immediately.

King Shun said: "Teacher, the princess is the future queen. Whether the emperor and the queen are harmonious or not is closely related to the peace of the world. If the prince's brother is not happy, he will cause trouble."

As soon as King Shun said this, many ministers in the court thought that the prince should be consulted.

The prince has always refused to appoint a crown princess. Although the outside world speculates that it is related to the then Princess Yi Leng Xiao, rational people think, how wise is the prince? How could he miss a woman who had harmed him?

Besides, Leng Zhenhuan was very ambitious back then and had lost all loyalty to the court and the royal family. His Highness the Crown Prince's legs were secretly injured by someone sent by Leng Zhenhuan. He should hate the Leng family to the core.

Therefore, there may be other reasons that are unknown.

The Crown Princess is the future Queen, so she is indeed very important and should not be taken lightly.

The emperor finally stopped discussing the prince's marriage, saying that the empress and the prince's opinions must be consulted on the choice of the prince's concubine, and the empress dowager must make the final decision.

Seeing that today's hope was lost, Taifu Lu couldn't help but feel resentful. He glanced at the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Jin Nangong Qingru, and the emperor's second son, Prince Xiang Nangong Shixian. The two princes formed a party of their own and had long been eyeing the throne of the prince.

If he wants to give up the crown prince, the emperor's eldest son Nangong Qingru is the best candidate. Although he is a commoner and is not as capable as the prince, he still has the reputation of the emperor's eldest son.

The two brothers have probably been planning for a long time. If he is willing to help, he will definitely not be as ungrateful and ungrateful as Nangong Yitian.

With this plan, Taifu Lu's anger subsided a little, and after Nangong Yitian vetoed the appointment of the crown princess, he wooed the emperor's eldest son Nangong Qingru.

After retiring from the court, the emperor sent Eunuch Qing to visit the East Palace in person and told the courtiers about the appointment of a crown princess.

Eunuch Qing had already thought up some words to convince him to agree to the appointment of the Crown Princess. Unexpectedly, Nangong Yitian said just after he mentioned the memorial to the courtiers, "The East Palace cannot be without its mistress forever. You should report back to the father and appoint the Crown Princess." I agree, but I want to choose the crown princess myself, so you go back and ask me for this decree."

Eunuch Qing was overjoyed and said, "If Your Highness is willing to appoint a Crown Princess, please don't mention one decree, just ten. I will do my best to get it for you."

"Okay, thank you, father-in-law." A smile appeared on Nangong Yitian's usually cold face.

Eunuch Qing felt sad. His Highness had hardly smiled like this in these years. He had forgotten how beautiful His Highness looked when he smiled.

Eunuch Qing immediately went back to report to the emperor. When the emperor heard that he agreed, he was stunned and asked again in disbelief, "Did he really say he agreed?"

"Back to the Emperor, His Highness really agreed. However, His Highness said that he must decide on the choice of Crown Princess himself. I ask for your approval."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but then he remembered King Shun's words. The harmony between the emperor and the empress in the future was the most important thing. He should let him choose his own princess and his future empress.

"That's right, let him choose." The emperor said, and asked the courtiers to prepare an imperial edict, and personally wrote it down for Nangong Yitian to choose the crown prince himself.

After the edict was written, the emperor said to Qing Gong: "After you declare the edict, immediately report to the queen and ask the queen to organize a concubine selection meeting. Let him choose by himself. Neither I nor the queen will interfere."
