Chapter 101: Being named princess(1/2)
After hearing what the emperor said, everyone began to talk about it. What did the emperor want to reward? Why was it said to be a big reward? Did the emperor want to reward Miss Zhao with some priceless treasure?
The queen on the side has been constantly guessing what the emperor wants to do, but she has never been able to figure it out. She has always thought that she knows the emperor fairly well, but she did not expect that today, no matter how she
They couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted, and why he suddenly mentioned that Zhao Keran. Who was that Zhao Keran? I had never heard of her name before, so why did it suddenly come up?
"Then how does the Emperor want to reward her?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
After the emperor thought for a while, he suddenly said, "Marquis of Zhenbei, I remember that you haven't established a heir yet, right?"
Zhao Lin was startled when he suddenly heard the emperor's question, but he quickly calmed down and stood up quickly. After bowing, he respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, I have indeed not established a heir. I don't know, Your Majesty."
Do you have any orders?"
Zhao Lin didn't know what the emperor meant by asking. Did the emperor want him to appoint someone as his heir? In fact, a man of his age should have retired a long time ago, but he still couldn't bear to put it down.
Because of his power, he has been delaying the establishment of the crown prince. Could it be that the emperor has some idea in his mind? Zhao Lin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought of this possibility.
Seemingly noticing Zhao Lin's unnaturalness, Situ Lingzhi laughed, "Hahaha, there is no need to be nervous, Marquis Zhenbei. You must know that establishing the heir apparent is not a trivial matter. You should be more cautious. As for the choice of this heir apparent? I don't know.
I won’t interfere. This is your family matter after all.”
After hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor had no intention of interfering with his choice of successor. However, since there was no such intention, why did the emperor ask like this? Is there any other intention?
In fact, not only Zhao Lin didn't understand, but everyone present also didn't understand what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in the gourd. However, everyone knew that the Sacred Heart was unpredictable, so no one dared to take it casually.
Open your mouth.
However, although everyone did not dare to speak, there was one exception, and this person was the Queen Mother. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why did you change the subject? Weren't you just talking about rewards?
Is this Zhao Keran's? Why did it suddenly get involved with Zhenbei Hou?"
After hearing the Queen Mother's question, Situ Lingzhi smiled and replied, "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. Didn't I already say that I would reward her well? If I want to reward her, I must give her a big favor.
ah!"
"Oh -" After hearing what Situ Lingzhi said, the Queen Mother also became interested, "Then, Your Majesty, what kind of great favor do you want to reward that Zhao Keran?"
Situ Lingzhi smiled slightly, but what he said shocked the whole audience, "Since the Marquis of Zhenbei has not chosen the crown prince, it means that as her granddaughter, she will definitely not have a high status.
I would definitely not be invited to various palace banquets when I was young. But since Zhao Keran has such a good talent, wouldn't it be more lively if she participated in various banquets? So, I already have an idea.
, otherwise, give this Zhao Keran an identity. Such a gift is the best, isn't it?"
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone was shocked, because if the emperor said to give an identity, it would definitely not be a casual sentence, it would definitely have a grade. Such a reward is really too big.
. Generally speaking, such a good thing can only be honored if the father or husband has a very high status, or has done something beneficial to the interests of the country. For example, a prince's daughter will be honored after she is born.
It is reasonable for those princes or people who have made great achievements to be granted the title of princess. But that Zhao Keran has done nothing, but he can get such an honor. Although I don't know
What rank is it, but just relying on the emperor's gift is enough to make others envious.
After hearing the emperor's words, the queen's first reaction was to object, "Your Majesty, isn't such a gift inappropriate? This Zhao Keran has not made any great achievements, how could he be so hasty -"
Before the queen finished speaking, Situ Lingzhi's brows furrowed. He interrupted the queen, "Queen, you mean to say that you want me to take back what I just said. Jun Wuxi, the queen wants me to break my promise."
,Yeah?"
"I don't dare!" After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, the queen immediately knelt down and said, "I have no other intentions. Your Majesty speaks so eloquently. How dare you ask the Emperor to break his promise? But such a thing is not trivial. I, concubine,
I just hope that the emperor will act with caution and have absolutely no other intentions."
Situ Lingzhi glanced at the queen and said, "The queen means that I was very careless in handling this matter, right?"
"I don't dare." Hearing that Situ Lingzhi's tone seemed not to be very good, the queen did not dare to refute anything, "Your Majesty is wise, I don't dare to say anything."
After Situ Lingzhi took a look at the queen, he said, "The queen should get up first!"
After hearing what the emperor said, the queen didn't dare to say anything anymore. She immediately stood up and sat back in her seat.
Seeing the empress being scolded by the emperor like this, the happiest person among them was Concubine Yun. Normally, Concubine Yun was very favored, but in the final analysis, the empress was the master of the harem, so Concubine Yun was no less.
She suffers from the queen, so she is definitely the happiest when seeing the queen make a fool of herself.
The queen naturally noticed Concubine Yun's gloating about her misfortune. She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had no choice but to swallow the bitter water in her stomach.
The scene suddenly became a bit embarrassing. Seeing this, the Queen Mother had no choice but to intervene and smooth things over, "Okay, Your Majesty, don't interest everyone anymore. What kind of identity do you plan to give this Zhao Keran as a reward? Tell me.
Let everyone listen to it!”
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, everyone was waiting with bated breath. Especially Qin Yimiao, her heart was already full of jealousy. She didn't expect that it was just a poetry competition before, and she lost it.
When she gave it to Zhao Keran, she thought it was nothing, but she didn't expect that the emperor would mention that matter today and reward Zhao Keran so generously, which made her feel very unbalanced. Now, she just wants to know, the emperor
What kind of status should be rewarded to Zhao Keran? She prayed silently in her heart, it must not be too high. Of course, she was not the only one praying like this, there were also Zhang Man'er and Li Fei'er, both of whom also did not want the emperor to give Zhao Keran
His status is too high.
Situ Lingzhi smiled and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true. In fact, I have already thought about it. Since Zhao Keran has such outstanding literary talent, I have decided to make her the Princess of Guowen County in Zunzheng Town. Queen Mother, do you think this is good?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience was shocked. It turned out that she was the princess of Zunzheng Town Guowen from the first rank. Such a rank was really too high. You know, in the Dali Dynasty, only the prince's daughter could have such a high rank.
.
In the Dali Dynasty, those who were born to the prince and his legitimate wife and were appreciated by the emperor would be named Zhengyipin Zunzhengzhenguo Princess. The title was a two-character title. However, now in the Dali Dynasty, only
A princess can be named a Zhengyipinzhengzhenguo princess, and the only Zhengyipinzhengzhenguo princess is the emperor's younger brother - Prince Chun's biological daughter - Zhengyipin Zhengzhenguoli
Princess Rou. But under normal circumstances, the daughter born to the prince and his princess can only be named the Princess of Congyi Zunzhengzhenguo, and the title is one word. And the emperor gave Zhao Keran, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family
The conferment is that of a princess of this rank, which is definitely the greatest favor for a court lady.
But logically speaking, even if you want to be canonized, you don't need to be given such a high status! You know, after General Zhongyi died, his daughter, who is now the Marquis of Zhenbei, was only canonized as a third-grade minister.
She is just Princess Yaduanmin. But why can Zhao Keran be canonized as Princess Guowen of Congyi Zunzheng Town now?
After hearing the emperor's words, the Queen Mother had the same idea as everyone else. She frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Ai Jia, do you think we should discuss this matter carefully? After all, this is the title of a first-grade Zunzhengzhen.
The matter of the princess of the country should be discussed in a long-term manner."
The queen on the side was shocked and immediately echoed, "Yes! Your Majesty, I also think that the queen is right. This is not a trivial matter. This Zhao Keran is not from the royal family, and she has not made any great achievements."
, and her parents are not people who have made much sacrifice for the country, so how can they make a woman the princess of Zunzheng Town Guowen Princess like this?"
After hearing the advice of the Queen Mother and the Empress, Situ Lingzhi did not give in, but insisted, "Since I have already said that I will give you a great favor, how can I take it back at will? You know that Jun Wu is joking, can I
Are words so useless?"
After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, the queen did not dare to say anything anymore, because she had already made the emperor unhappy just now. If she still objects in this situation now, the emperor will definitely be even more unhappy.
By then, Concubine Yun Gui will probably laugh at her again. She will never give that Jianren another chance to laugh at her. Besides, isn't the Queen Mother very opposed to it now? As long as the Queen Mother firmly opposes it, then the Emperor should
I won't be angry with the Queen Mother.
I started to see it when I arrived at the royal family. But why did the emperor insist on canonizing the woman named Zhao Keran as the princess? And it was from a rank as high as the first rank. Is it really just for a poem? Thinking of this, the queen's eyes narrowed
I started thinking about it carefully.
The Queen Mother is not a queen, and she will never be afraid of Situ Lingzhi's anger, so she said, "Your Majesty, we have all seen Zhao Keran's literary talents. The Ai family has no objection to how you want to reward her. But, this is the only way.
The Ai family cannot agree to such a reward."
After hearing the Queen Mother's firm words, Situ Lingzhi sighed, called Li Fuquan, whispered something in his ear, and then motioned Li Fuquan to tell the Queen Mother.
Soon, Li Fuquan came to the Queen Mother. After saying something in a voice that only two people could hear, the Queen Mother's face changed and she became silent.
Everyone present didn't know how to react. They didn't even understand what happened today. Who was this Zhao Keran? Why could he be named a revered person with just one poem?
Where is Princess Zhengzhen Guowen? And will this matter happen? Seeing that the Queen Mother seems to be very opposed to it, will the emperor still make this Zhao Keran the princess? Everyone is nervously waiting for the result.
The most nervous people among them are probably the people from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the people from the Duke of Qin's Mansion. Zhao Lin and Xiao Ling really hope that this thing can happen. Especially Xiao Ling, they hope that their granddaughter can become a disciple.
Yipin Zunzhen, Princess Guowen, you must know that if Keran really becomes the princess, it will be much easier for Song'er to inherit the title in the future. Having a daughter of the princess, for Song'er
, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless. Although the fact that this granddaughter is of a higher rank than her makes her feel a little uncomfortable, with such a granddaughter, her status in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will be more stable in the future.
.Also, I will have more face in front of Li Fei'er in the future. When thinking of this, Xiao Ling very much hopes that today's matter will come true. However, there are naturally people who hope that this matter will not come true. As for who it is, even if it doesn't happen,
That said, everyone knows it.
After hearing what Situ Lingzhi wanted Li Fuquan to say, the Queen Mother let out a long sigh. After she glanced at Situ Xu without any trace, she said, "Forget it! Since the emperor has already spoken, let's do it! The Ai family is
I won’t object.”
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, everyone was very surprised. They didn't understand why the Queen Mother suddenly relented. She was very insistent on sleeping just now, so why did she give in all of a sudden? Especially the Queen, who originally counted on the Queen Mother
She objected to the end, but now that even the Queen Mother has compromised, she can no longer refute.
Facing everyone's confused eyes, the Queen Mother said nothing, but her heart was already stirred up. Just now Li Fuquan just said one sentence in her ear, that is, "This Zhao Keran is King Xu himself."
I chose the future Princess Xu." Just such a sentence was enough to make her compromise. At the same time, she also understood why the emperor made such a decision today.
In fact, she was aware of what happened to Concubine Xiao back then, but she did nothing to lead to such a tragedy, so she was full of guilt for Situ Xu. So she had no way to object to this matter, and she absolutely could not.
Can't object.
After Situ Lingzhi looked around, he smiled and said, "Since the Queen Mother has agreed, do everyone here have any different opinions?" 13acv.
After hearing Situ Lingzhi's question, everyone present knelt down and said in unison, "The Emperor is wise, and the Queen Mother is wise."
Situ Lingzhi smiled and waved his hand, "Let's all get back on our feet first! Since everyone agrees with my proposal, let's decide like this! After the banquet is over, someone will go to announce the decree. Zhao Keran, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei
She is gentle, skillful and talented, so she is specially canonized as Princess Guowen of Zunzheng Town."
After finishing speaking, Situ Lingzhi smiled and said to Zhao Lin, "Marquis of Zhenbei, let Li Fuquan follow you back to announce the decree in a moment. Your granddaughter should still be in the Hou Mansion, right?"
