Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

Is this day finally here?

The concubines in the harem were not at all surprised by this result.

The fact that the emperor preferred the Imperial Noble Consort to be the empress was obvious to everyone. He even deposed the previous empress early on for the Imperial Noble Consort. It was only because of the Imperial Noble Consort's poor health that the process was delayed until now.

It seems that the emperor doesn't want to delay any longer.

"Even if she is allowed to be the queen, with her body, can she handle it?!"

Ever since she heard that Hua Wu was going to be the queen, Concubine Rou felt like she was holding a grudge. On this day, she used the excuse of visiting the Sixth Prince and came to Concubine Jin's palace holding her little princess. When she arrived, she found that Concubine Ping was also there. She put the little princess down and let her play with the Sixth Prince. While drinking tea, she couldn't help complaining.

If she didn't complain a few more times, she would suffocate to death.

It has been almost half a month since the emperor returned, and he has never set foot into her harem to take a look.

"Has the Emperor come to Concubine Jin's palace to see the Sixth Prince?"

Concubine Rou put down the teacup in her hand and asked.

Concubine Jin's eyes were always on the Sixth Prince who was playing with the little princess in the garden. She naturally heard the complaint in Concubine Rou's tone, but she said nothing. She just smiled gently and shook her head when she heard it.

Of course the emperor didn't come either.

The emperor entered the harem only three times in the past half month, but each time he went to the Yikun Palace.

Resentment?!

Do not!

Concubine Jin didn't have any resentment at all.

Her appearance was not outstanding to begin with, and she had been in the palace for many years, so she no longer had the desire to compete for favor and only wanted to live out her retirement in peace in the palace.

Therefore, she never got involved in the grudges, love and hatred in the palace.

Maybe it's because fools have good fortune. It was because of her obedience that the emperor gave her a child.

Although the Sixth Prince has been weak and sickly since birth, and has been taking medicine since he could drink milk, I don’t know how many people say that this child is destined not to grow up...

However, Concubine Jin was still grateful to the emperor for giving her the child.

The arrival of the Sixth Prince made her feel more hopeful.

Although it was very hard to take care of the Sixth Prince, she was very happy.

Who the emperor favored, who he neglected, who he visited, and who he didn't visit... She didn't care at all. She just wanted to live her own life behind closed doors with the Sixth Prince.

Seeing Concubine Jin's gentle and dignified appearance, Concubine Rou became angry.

She gave birth to a little princess, but the emperor didn't come, so she was angry but there was nothing she could do.

But Concubine Jin has a little prince!

Why does he have such a petty temper?

Even if the emperor doesn't come, she won't be angry!

"No matter how bad her health is, it won't affect her being the queen!"

"What's the difference between her now and when she was the queen?!"

Concubine Ping held the newly tributed tangerines in her hands, curled her lips and spoke.

There is no queen in the palace now. She is the highest-ranking imperial concubine and all palace affairs are in her hands. It's just because she is in poor health, so the emperor sent her four trusted maids to assist her in handling palace affairs. But everyone knows that the imperial concubine is just a figurehead. In fact, she doesn't care about anything. All palace affairs are handled in an orderly manner by the four trusted maids.

Let her enjoy the honor of being an imperial concubine, and don't want to tire her out at all.

Concubine Ping was very empathetic towards Concubine Rou.

Who wouldn't want such pampering? ?

Finally, there was someone who understood her thoughts. Concubine Rou felt very happy. She held Concubine Ping's hand as if she had endless things to say to her. For a while, she became much closer to Concubine Ping.

Concubine Jin did not interrupt, but just smiled as she watched Concubine Rou and Concubine Ping talk, and from time to time she asked someone to add tea and water to them, and bring them snacks and fruits...

Concubine Heping complained for a long time, and Concubine Rou finally calmed down. She felt refreshed and drank a mouthful of the best West Lake Longjing tea comfortably. In the elegant tea fragrance, she said quietly: "Don't look at the emperor doting on the imperial concubine, but she wants to be the queen..."

“It’s not that simple!”

Concubine Rou was not the simple, straightforward, and overthinking type like Concubine Ping. After a moment's thought, she revealed her cunning intention of enjoying the show.

……

Just as Concubine Rou guessed, when Yao Shuyi of Yichun Palace learned that the emperor was determined to make Hua Wu the emperor and had even ordered the Ministry of Rites to begin preparing for it, Yao Shuyi threw the celadon teacup hard to the ground.

"You said that the Ministry of Rites has even started to inlay oriental pearls on the Nine Dragon and Four Phoenix Coronet?"

Yao Shuyi stared at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, the coldness in his eyes like layers of floating ice.

"It is absolutely true." The young eunuch pressed a gold brick against his forehead. "I saw with my own eyes that the treasure room brought in twelve boxes of tribute pearls from the South China Sea. The eunuch in charge of the seal even urged them to make the gold and emerald cloud pattern on the Zhaiyi overnight."

Although the enthronement will be done first and then the enthronement ceremony will be held, the empress's phoenix robe, golden seal, and imperial seal... all need to be prepared.

I'm afraid nothing will go wrong this time, and the one in Yikun Palace will definitely become the queen.

Queen? !

Legitimate son?!

This portion... is too heavy!

Suddenly, a muffled thunder rolled outside the window, startling the thrush in the gilded birdcage in the corridor, so that it fluttered its wings.

"Qinglu, tell the Grand Marshal to mobilize our people... We must not let that merchant girl take the position of queen!"

Yao Shuyi gave instructions to Qinglu.

Although the last purge of the Black Dragon Guards caused a major purge of the officials they bribed, which dealt a heavy blow to them, they have not been idle during this period. They have also won over and corrupted a group of officials from Dayan to serve them.

In her opinion, these officials of Dayan were like weeds in spring, too numerous to be cut.

Once it is cut off, new work will emerge.

Now...it's time for them to contribute!

……

At the court meeting a few days later, Xiao Lin had just begun to propose making Hua Wu the empress when some ministers stood up to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a queen concerns the foundation of the country and cannot be taken lightly."

"The Imperial Concubine is in poor health and may not be able to take on the responsibility of being the Empress. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this."

The Minister of Rites came out holding a tablet in his hand, with a solemn expression and a sonorous voice.

As soon as the Minister of Rites finished speaking, a buzz of voices arose in the court, some in favor and some against.

It is difficult for a weak woman to be the mistress of a noble family, so how can she take on the responsibility of being the mother of a country?

Such an obvious thing made some ministers who had a good impression of Hua Wuxin feel extremely conflicted.

Such as the Censor Du.

If it were usual, he would definitely have participated in a few books.

Now, he was holding the tablet, looking down and saying nothing, which already showed that he had a friendly attitude towards the Imperial Concubine.

Xiao Lin sat high in the Mingtang, narrowing his narrow eyes as he looked at the ministers who were buzzing around below him, and said calmly, "The Imperial Concubine's body is being treated by Divine Doctor He. It will only take some time for her to return to normal."

what? !

Will it return to normal?!

The entire court was silent for a moment. The Minister of Rites secretly glanced at someone behind him. The person who received the glance quickly stood up and said, "The Imperial Concubine is of humble origin. I do not doubt her character and knowledge, but I am worried that she will not be able to shoulder the responsibility of being the mother of the country. The position of Empress is related to the foundation of the country, so we need to be careful in choosing."

"Moral knowledge?!"

"Do you know who invented this disinfection and suturing technique that is popular in the army and has saved countless Dayan soldiers?!"

"It was created by the Imperial Concubine who you all call lacking in virtue and knowledge!"

"If her knowledge and virtue are not enough, then who in the harem can compare to the Imperial Concubine?!"

Xiao Lin raised a hint of coldness and spoke in a sharp tone.
