The First Tyrant of Daxia

Concubine Dou? Qin Yun frowned. Didn't he tell her last time not to worry about these things?

"No need, I have no affection for women with the surname Wang!"

He waved his hand, sat down and said, "Don't worry about choosing a concubine for the near future. The Ministry of Rites will start the process of appointing a queen for me."

The ministers were shocked.

Establishing a queen is a huge matter, which concerns the interests and safety of countless people.

"I want to make Concubine Xiao Shufei the Empress Wende. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Qin Yun looked at these people indifferently.

The ministers looked at each other and said nothing.

The Xiao family is now at its peak, who dares to oppose it openly?

"Since no one objects, let's just leave it at that." Qin Yun said firmly.

Xiao Jian had the merit of saving the emperor and commanded a large number of troops. It was understandable that Xiao Shufei was made the queen. After a little hesitation, some ministers did not object.

But now!

An uninvited guest has arrived in the imperial study!

"No! Your Majesty, I don't agree!"

The voice was not loud, but it had a hint of majesty.

Then Eunuch Xi shouted, "The Empress Dowager is here!"

Qin Yun frowned slightly, but slowly stood up and led a group of ministers out of the imperial study to greet Dou Ji.

After all, the etiquette and laws are strict, and Concubine Dou has a very high seniority in the imperial palace!

"I have met the Concubine Dowager."

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to the Concubine Dowager."

Except for Qin Yun, all other ministers knelt down.

I saw Concubine Dowager Dou Ji, wearing a purple palace dress, graceful and elegant, her steps showing royal manners and voluptuous figure. Her forty-year-old oval face was no less beautiful than any other concubine in the harem.

Especially that mature feeling, which is intoxicating.

The group walked into the imperial study again. Qin Yun asked someone to give her a seat to his right.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness, but it is indeed inappropriate to make Concubine Xiao the queen." Dou Ji looked serious and looked at Qin Yun closely.

Qin Yun was slightly displeased and asked calmly, "Teacher, why is it inappropriate?"

Concubine Dou said slowly, "Since ancient times, mothers have been honored by their sons. Although Concubine Xiao Shu is extremely gentle, she has been in the palace for several years and has not given birth to a child for Your Majesty. This matter is simply unacceptable!"

"I think that whoever gives birth to a son first can be the queen!"

Hearing this, many ministers looked at Qin Yun, seemingly agreeing with Dou Ji's words.

Since Concubine Shu had not given birth to a son for several years, they all began to doubt whether Concubine Xiao Shu was fertile.

Qin Yun pinched his brows with a headache. Who can control the matter of having children? He must establish Concubine Xiao Shu, but Dou Ji's reasons for opposing it are reasonable.

Being an emperor, you would feel very unfree at times like this.

"Queen Dowager, if there is no queen, the harem will be ownerless. Why not establish a queen first and then give birth to a prince? I will try my best." Qin Yun smiled, not wanting to ruin his relationship with this elder.

Concubine Dou sighed and said with some sadness: "Your Majesty, if you have no children, the court will be unstable and the world will be in chaos."

"When it comes down to it, I have an unavoidable responsibility."

"I feel so ashamed of my ancestors!"

"Well, Your Majesty, leave it to you."

Tears welled up in her eyes and she covered her face with her sleeves, feeling very self-blaming and sad.

The ministers were startled and bowed their heads.

Damn... Qin Yun was completely speechless. What a good move of retreating to advance.

General directly!

He frowned helplessly and said, "All of you please leave. I want to talk to the Concubine alone. The matter of establishing the Queen will be discussed later."

"Yes!" All the ministers immediately left the imperial study.

It was quiet all around, with only the two of them left.

Qin Yun looked at Concubine Dou who was still sobbing and wanted to help her wipe her tears, but his identity was not appropriate.

I had no choice but to say, "Don't cry, Concubine Dowager. I can temporarily not appoint a queen."

"But I have something to make clear. Not appointing a queen for now does not mean that there will be no queen forever! Since you and the ministers all think that Concubine Shu has failed to give birth to a child."

"Then I will wait until she gives birth to a dragon."

"If the Concubine still objects at that time... don't blame me for being unhappy."

Concubine Dou's tear-soaked face paused for a moment.

"Your Majesty, do you think I talk too much? Very well then, I will return to Qianfu Palace immediately and will never leave again without your Majesty's permission." Her eyes were red and she stood up to leave.

Qin Yun was speechless. If he really did this, the ministers in the court would scold him for being unfilial and abusing his elders tomorrow.

"My Lady Concubine, I didn't mean that. I just said it first so as not to cause trouble later." Qin Yun bowed slightly to show his sincerity.

Although he had some suspicions about Dou Ji, they were all guesses.

Without evidence, he must treat this elder with respect, otherwise the royal family will gossip.

"Oh!" she sighed and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, I am only thinking about the continued well-being of Daxia. Your Majesty has no children, which is the immorality of all the women in the harem!"

Qin Yun raised his lips but said nothing, and had nothing to say.

This was the case in ancient times. If a woman did not get pregnant within a year of marriage, she would be scolded.

Concubine Dou looked at Qin Yun with her watery eyes, full of love: "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to take another concubine?"

Qin Yun frowned and said calmly, "Queen Dowager, I know you are busy with this matter, but I cannot want a woman from the Wang family of Taiyuan! Wang Min's pain is still fresh in my mind, how can I repeat the same mistake?"

"Well, since your majesty doesn't like it, forget it."

After saying that, Concubine Dou changed the subject and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, then except for the women from the Wang family of Taiyuan, can any other women be accepted?"

Qin Yun looked at her deeply and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Then he nodded and said, "Other women are fine, but the Concubine Dowager won't force me to sleep with anyone, right?"

Concubine Dou finally smiled, and her wrinkles showed the beauty of time, which was extremely beautiful!

"That is your Majesty's business. I will not interfere. But your Majesty just needs to agree to take a concubine."

Qin Yun nodded, thinking, if you bring it in, it's ok for me not to touch it, right?

I didn't touch other women until Xiang'er became queen. Anyway, this queen must be hers.

Concubine Dou got the answer she wanted, and then she bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I will leave now. I won't disturb you from handling your official duties. You should also take care of your health."

Qin Yun nodded and watched her leave.

She walked calmly and her smile was kind, making it difficult for people to feel bad about her. Perhaps she just wanted to help her mother's family gain a place in the harem.

"Very charming, time never defeats beauty!"

Suddenly, he remembered something.

Shouted, "Toffee!"

Dou Ji turned around, her long eyelashes fluttering, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
