The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a loud shout from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

"No need to be polite, everyone please stand up and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Yejing helped Yun Zhining up and sat next to her.

At first glance, I found that there was something wrong with Concubine An.

He squeezed Yun Zhining's hand and said with a smile.

"Did you bully Concubine An?"

"how is this possible?"

"Then why are her eyes red?"

Red eyes?

Yun Zhining looked over quickly and found that Concubine An's eyes were a little red. It was not very obvious, but you would notice it if you looked a few more times.

Her heart sank, but she sighed softly.

"Concubine An, it's just a small matter. We've already talked it over. You can take the Fourth Princess to Yuhua Palace to apologize to the Fifth Princess and everything will be fine. Why are you crying? You've made the Emperor think that I bullied you."

Concubine An immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake, her eyes turning red again.

"Your Majesty, it was the Fourth Princess who stole the hairpin that Little Grape had reserved for the Fifth Princess, and the two of them had a fight because of it. I did not educate my daughter well, and she bullied her younger sister. I feel guilty, so I did this. It has nothing to do with Concubine Yi."

"It's just a minor quarrel between little girls. You don't need to take it seriously. When Grape was little, she had a dispute with the Third Princess and a fight with the Second Prince. Concubine Lin and Concubine He were not as cautious as you."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Okay, get up."

He was upset at the moment, so it would be better for him to look less at Concubine An.

Qi Yejing picked up the tea and took two sips. He thought about what happened before the court ended and still felt upset.

"Something very interesting happened at the end of the morning court session."

Yun Zhining immediately got the idea.

"Oh, what an interesting thing, Your Majesty, why don't you tell me about it."

"Prime Minister Luo said that without a master in the six palaces, there would be disputes. In addition, the first and second princes have already entered the court to serve, and the third and fourth princes are gradually growing up. Their status must be determined as soon as possible. So he asked for the establishment of a queen, and the ministers also seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty should indeed appoint a queen. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for me to be in charge of the affairs of the harem!"

"Haven't you noticed that I've been worrying so much these past few years that I've aged?"

I've lost some hair and wrinkles are forming around my eyes.

Qi Yejing moved back a little and looked at it carefully for a while.

Well, the face is not as round as before, but the facial lines are smoother.

Her face was still plump and smooth, her skin was as white as cream, and her hands were as soft as silk.

There are indeed some wrinkles at the corners of my eyes that can only be seen clearly under a magnifying glass.

But there is pride in his brows.

He shook his head vigorously.

"I'm not old at all, but I'm actually a little better looking now."

"Hate it, the emperor is always coaxing me."

"I'm not kidding you. Every word I said is true."

"Okay, okay, since Your Majesty is so serious, I will trust Your Majesty for once."

Yun Zhining took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Did the court officials say who should be made queen?"

"said."

Qi Yejing's gaze slowly fell on Concubine An and he spoke softly.

"Everyone asked to make Concubine An the queen, except General Qi and General Qi."

"Oh my god, so many people want the emperor to make Concubine An's sister the queen!"

Yun Zhining covered her mouth and said in shock.

"Then why is Your Majesty still standing there? Hurry up and make Sister Anfei the Queen!"

"This way, I can hand over all the responsibilities of the harem to Sister An, ..."

"Oh, no, now you should call her Her Majesty the Queen."

Qi Yejing glared at her and said unhappily.

"You really want me to make someone else my queen!"

"Why not?"

Yun Zhining smiled helplessly.

"Does the Emperor want to make me his empress?"

"Why can't I make you my queen?"

"In the past few years that you have been in charge of the harem, you have treated the concubines and the princes and princesses equally. You have asked about their health on time every day, cared about their diet and daily life, and cared about the princes and princesses' homework and physical and mental health. You are a role model for the harem and have the demeanor of a mother of a country."

"The queen mothers like you, the concubines respect you, the princes and princesses are filial to you, why can't you be the queen?"

"Your Majesty, I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me so much."

"I'm talking to you seriously, can you please be serious?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be serious."

Yun Zhining put away the smile on her face and said seriously.

"I am grateful to Your Majesty for valuing me so much. However, Your Majesty, you also know that my family background is not prominent. My father was originally just an earl, but later he did something wrong and was executed by Your Majesty. Therefore, I have a stain on my body and am not suitable to be the queen."

"Sister An Fei is actually a very good person. If she becomes the queen, I will do my best to help her and handle the affairs of the harem. I will never cause any trouble to the emperor."

"Alright, I will think about this matter carefully later. You should just take care of the affairs of the harem."

The position of queen can only be hers, no one else can even think about it.

However, what she just said made some sense. She had no father, no brother, no uncle, and those people in the court would definitely not agree to make her the queen.

In order to solve this problem, she must find a strong backer.

Which minister in the previous dynasty liked daughters but had no daughters? He was old, prestigious, and powerful, but he didn't want Concubine An to be the queen?

An old face appeared in his mind, and Qi Yejing sighed softly.

I'm afraid it's only that big troll.

After briefly greeting the high-ranking concubines, Qi Yejing waved his hand and asked them to leave.

Yun Zhining also quickly ordered people to prepare breakfast.

Qi Yejing was eating when his chopsticks suddenly fell on a plate of pearls, and his eyes looked a little hurt.

"If I remember correctly, Ayao seems to like this dish very much."

"Yes, Sister Qi likes to eat Pearl Garden. Every time Little Grape goes to Xuanhua Palace to visit Sister Qi, Sister Qi will ask the small kitchen to make Pearl Garden. Little Grape has eaten it a few times and has also fallen in love with this dish."

"But since Sister Qi passed away, she has never eaten Pearl Garden again, and I have never asked the kitchen to make this dish again."

"I don't know why the small kitchen made this dish today!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I will call Qingzhu in to ask her clearly."
