My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After listening to Chang An's words, Li Longji and the ministers began to think: the ministers admired Chang An's words, which could make his words start from another point, and this point happened to be Li Longji's sore spot.

Li Longji began to ponder and felt that Chang An was right.

What is the status of the queen? She is the principal wife! As long as the principal wife is present, other concubines do not even have the qualifications to sit down. What's more, the queen is in charge of the harem, which is equivalent to the person in charge of the court. Who lives and who dies can be decided by just one sentence.

He had no choice but to compromise and said, "If that's the case, then I won't establish a queen."

"From today on, Consort Wu will be named Consort Hui, and Prince Li Mao will be named Prince Shou. As for the position of Empress, it will be vacant for the time being."

......

After the court session, Chang An was planning to leave immediately, but Li Longji said, "Marquis Dingkang, please stay for a while. I have something to ask you."

Helpless, Chang An had to stay, and Li Ying was a little worried at this time, and asked: "Could it be that father knows that you are involved?"

Chang An shrugged slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.

Only after all the officials had left did Li Longji stand up and say to Chang An, "Come with me."

Chang An followed Li Longji into the side hall. After he sat down, Li Longji asked, "Marquis Dingkang, do you think there is something strange about Wang Ling's dethronement this time?"

"I don't know what Your Majesty means. Please explain it to me." Chang Anzi was stupid for once.

Li Longji said, "I didn't find it last time. But this time, I found it. In these two searches, I found a different place -"

"That's you."

Chang An nodded slightly without saying anything, while Li Longji looked at him quietly. But he couldn't see anything, so he said, "But I also feel something strange now. Why didn't I find it last time, but I found it this time?"

"But what I wonder is why someone insisted that there would be something in the Queen's Palace?" Chang An shook his head slightly, "If you can't find it once, you should give up, but you have to look for a second chance."

Li Longji frowned at this time, vaguely feeling that Chang An was making insinuations, but it happened that this remark really hit the point where he was suspicious. And the person who came to tell him the news twice was the same person - Wu Qinghui.

But he really didn't want to doubt Wu Qinghui, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked, "What kind of person do you think Wang Ling is?"

"She was the model mother of the country, and treated all officials and subordinates well. Many people in the court had received her kindness. Moreover, she treated Your Majesty wholeheartedly." Chang An finished speaking, and added: "I am just making an evaluation, not opposing Your Majesty's dethronement."

After listening to this, Li Longji nodded and said, "Court Lady Wu, can't she really be made queen?"

"Yes, but we will all oppose it."

"Now the ministers are against it for three reasons: first, they are grateful for the favor of the deposed queen; second, Concubine Wu is a descendant of Wu Zhao; third, I am worried that her selfishness will harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Longji frowned slightly: "This is the reason of the ministers, I want to hear your reason."

"The reason why I oppose it is actually very simple: Concubine Wu is only suitable to be a concubine, not a queen," Chang An replied.

"Who is suitable then? Concubine Zhao Li? Or Concubine Huangfu?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "Wang Ling."

"But she was demoted to a commoner."

"Then there is none." Chang An shook his head. "I dare to guess that there are many cases of jealousy and competition for favor in the harem. No matter who becomes the queen, they will suppress the concubines who were once hostile to them. So I think it is inappropriate."

Li Longji smiled at this time and asked, "I finally understand why you have never planned to take a concubine. It turns out that you are afraid that the household chores will be complicated and difficult to handle."

"That's probably one of the reasons." Chang An smiled and nodded.

Li Longji sighed and waved his hand: "You can go back now. There is nothing else to do next."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

Chang An nodded and left. After getting in the car, he felt that it was still early, so he said, "Let's go to Pingkangfang to find the princess and pick up some things."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

The driver was not unaware of the route, because when the princess was born, Chang An was one of the invited guests. As a driver, he was supposed to take her there, so he naturally knew the route.

Wang Yao and Chang An knew each other before, and it was not until then that Chang An was surprised to find that Li Ke'er married one of his good pigeons!

......

When they arrived at Duke Wenlie's mansion, Chang An was standing at the door. The two doormen greeted him, "Greetings, Duke Kangguo."

"Is Her Royal Highness the Princess here? I have something to ask her." Chang An said.

Chang An was very familiar with Wang Yao and Li Ke'er. The doormen naturally did not dare to neglect them. One of them went to make an announcement while the other asked at the door, "Does Duke Kangguo plan to come in and sit down?"

"No need, I'll just say a few words, I'll just wait at the door."

The doorman nodded, and soon Li Keer came out with a half-finished account book in her hand. She came out and asked in confusion, "You are the prince's tutor, why are you here instead of teaching my brother?"

"There are no classes today. We are going to court." Chang An explained.

Li Keer frowned slightly and asked, "Going to court? Are they discussing something important? Do they need you to attend?"

"Establish the queen." Chang An replied calmly.

Li Ke'er's face darkened, she closed the account book, and said, "Come in and talk, it's not good to say such things outside..."

"No, no, the news will be made public in due time, so Your Highness doesn't need to ask in detail. Don't worry, Wu Qinghui is only promoted to a concubine now, and she does not have the status and power of a queen." Chang An waved his hand and said.

"What did you do?"

Chang An was speechless at this time: "How could I have such great power? It was His Majesty who did it. His Majesty asked me for my opinion, and I just said so."

"I see." Li Ke'er was a little puzzled. "Then why did you come to me today if you didn't want to talk about this?"

"The first thing is to come to Your Highness to get something, which is what I asked Wang Zhanshi to find yesterday. The second thing is the matter that I asked Your Highness for help yesterday, and we can start today." Chang An said.

Li Keer nodded and said, "I understand—"

"Go and ask someone to bring over the box we brought back yesterday."

Li Ke'er certainly knew what was going to be given to Chang'an. Last night, the servants suddenly brought a large box with tiny holes all over it. She didn't know what it was, and Wang Yao didn't explain, just saying it was something for Chang'an.

At this time, a servant came out with a cart with a big box on it. Li Keer said, "Take a look, is this what you want?"

Chang An nodded, then stepped onto the cart. The box was sealed. Chang An tore off the seal, then slightly opened the box and looked at the contents.

After confirming it, Chang An nodded with satisfaction and closed the box again. Li Keer couldn't help but feel curious when she saw Chang An like this, and asked, "What's in here? Is it alive?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was some noise coming from the box, which scared Li Keer so much that she took two steps back.

"This is nothing." Chang An smiled, kicked the box and said.

Li Keer rolled her eyes at him and said, "You two not only look alike, but you also have similar personalities. You both like to beat around the bush when you talk. It's boring."

Chang An smiled and said, "Okay, Your Highness, there is nothing else to do today, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, take care." Li Ke'er nodded, opened the account book again and continued to keep accounts.

......

Wu Qinghui was sitting in her own palace at this time. Although she was named a concubine, her face still looked a little grim:

"What did you say? Say it again!"

The eunuch kneeling in front of her said immediately: "Princess Hui, it is clear that the Duke of Kangguo did say this:"

"He said that you are only suitable to be a concubine, not a queen. He also said that except for Wang Ling, no one else in the harem is qualified to be a queen."

"That's unreasonable!"

Wu Qinghui slammed the table in anger and said, "Is it because of this reason? Your Majesty has no plans to appoint a queen?"

"No more." The eunuch knelt on the ground in horror for a long time and said.

"You are such a good man, Chang Yonghe, you always ruin my good deeds!"

Wu Qinghui was very angry at this time. Although she could not be the queen at the beginning, she had the same power as the queen. But because of Chang An's words "not suitable", she even lost this real power.

"That's fine, but Your Majesty doesn't even suspect him. He is definitely the culprit who hid the sign!" Wu Qinghui slammed the table in anger, his chest heaving up and down.

"Your Highness Huifei, please calm down."

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?" Wu Qinghui asked angrily.

The eunuch then said cautiously: "Although Your Highness Huifei does not have the position of queen, you are still the most favored concubine in His Majesty's heart. Even if you are not made queen today, His Majesty will make Your Highness Huifei the queen in the future."

"After some time?" Wu Qinghui snorted coldly: "I am the most favored?"

"Do you want to see what position Chang Yonghe holds? Even when it comes to deciding whether to be the queen or not, his mouth is more useful than the mouths of all the officials. I am the most favored? I haven't even seen Gao Lishi serve me tea or water."

The eunuch didn't dare to say anything and just lay on the ground.

Wu Qinghui cursed: "Why don't you get out of here?"

"Yes, yes. I'll leave right away. I'll leave right away."
