Traveling back and forth from ancient times to the present, the prince pursues love in the modern ti

"Oh? I wonder what Lord Xu is reporting?" Emperor Jing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing that he was in a very good mood.

"Your Majesty, since the passing of the previous Empress, the position of Empress has been vacant for a long time. Noble Concubine Shen has managed the harem for over a decade. She is virtuous, gentle, and dignified, deeply loved by the people. She is truly the perfect choice for Empress. I implore Your Majesty to make Noble Concubine Shen Empress to reassure the people and stabilize the government."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, frowning slightly, his good mood was completely ruined.

Lord Liu saw the Emperor's hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has been in the palace for many years and has always served Your Majesty wholeheartedly. She has also been diligent and conscientious for many years. Since Concubine Shen took charge of the harem, there has never been any conflict. If you make Concubine Shen the Empress, it will surely bring peace to the harem and stability to the court."

Emperor Xiao Jing stared at the two men gloomily, then looked at Censor Xie, "Master Censor, what do you think?"

Censor Xie stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a queen concerns the country and the people, and should not be decided lightly.

"Although Concubine Shen has many merits, these are troubled times, and the people are suffering. Your Majesty should prioritize the people. The matter of establishing a queen will require further discussion."

Emperor Xiao Jing nodded in satisfaction and looked at General Shan. "What do you think, Lord Shan?"

"Your Majesty, I also agree to establish a queen!"

Emperor Xiao Jing was stunned. This Dan Changzhan dared to rebel just over a month after leaving!

General Shan continued, "Just as Lord Xie said, the people are suffering now. The drought in the north and the heavy rain in the south have caused many people to have no food to eat.

If any concubine can solve the people's food problem, she will surely be supported by the people, and naturally no one will dare to criticize her appointment as queen!"

Lord Xu and Lord Liu: "..."

Emperor Xiao Jing: I didn’t expect that after being away for a while, I would become smarter when I came back!

Emperor Xiao Jing nodded in satisfaction. "Minister Shan is absolutely right. It is settled then. Whoever can solve the problem of food for the people this winter will be made empress!"

"This……"

"What? Lord Xu has any objection?" Emperor Jing glared at him.

"I dare not!"

"Lord Xu and Lord Liu have been commended for their advice. Each of them will be given five beauties as wives! When you have a son, don't forget to treat me to a glass of wedding wine."

From now on, I’ll see who dares to be so idle as to talk to me about the matter of appointing a queen.

"This... Your Majesty, this is unacceptable! I am already old, and I want to marry five concubines. The wives at home will definitely cause chaos in the family!"

As soon as the two adults cried, Emperor Xiao Jing's face turned red. "What? Are you two adults going to disobey my order?"

Lord Xu and Lord Liu were filled with regret. What business did they have with the Emperor whether he appointed a new empress or not? The Imperial Censor didn't care, so how could they have any say in that?

Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret!

Congratulations to Lord Xu and Lord Liu. Others have three wives and four concubines, but you two have six wives.

Xu Mingyuan said: "You two adults, please accept my order and express your gratitude!"

Lord Xu and Lord Liu knelt down with tears in their eyes and expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"You're welcome. My two lords have acquired several new wives, and I expect they will be immersed in their tenderness for the next few days. I will allow you two to rest at home for a month and spend some quality time with your wives."

Emperor Jingdi's words directly made the court officials dare not make any suggestions.

Who the hell dares to mention this? If you don’t make the emperor happy today, the emperor won’t let you have a happy New Year.

But this is what people from Shen Xiang's faction think.

The other court officials were still waiting for someone else to speak, and they ate melons until they were full early in the morning.

"My dear ministers, is there anything else you would like to report?"

The court officials stood quietly, and no one spoke.

Emperor Xiao Jing nodded with satisfaction. Yes, they were all very sensible. They knew that he was anxious to leave and did not cause him any trouble.

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's leave the court!"

After announcing the adjournment of court, Emperor Jing hurried back to his bedroom.

Just as Xie Yushi was about to leave, he was pulled back by General Shan. "Xie Youzhi will be back soon. Why are you running?"

"Leaving in a moment? This brat, he's only been back for a short while and he hasn't even seen me yet. If I see him, I'm going to beat him to death!"

"If we don't chase him, the emperor will be far away!"

The three members of the Shan family and Censor Xie hurried to catch up with the emperor.

When the emperor returned to his bedroom, Xu Mingyuan quickly helped him change into casual clothes.

While changing clothes, he asked the guard, "What did those two brats take?"

The hidden guard flashed and appeared in front of the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I wanted to take the old dragon robe, boots, porcelain pillow, ornaments, incense burner, incense... I also wanted to take the dragon bed and screen, but I thought they were too big to move, so I gave up in the end!"

The secret guard couldn't help but twitch his lips as he spoke, let alone Chief Steward Xu and the Emperor.

"Xu Mingyuan, why do they want these junk?" Emperor Xiao Jing asked in confusion.

"This...how would I know? Why don't you ask the two princes yourself later?

The servants came to report that Prince Xiaoyao, Prince Qi, Prince Chu, the wife of the general, and the son of the Duke of Song were already waiting in the imperial study.

I'm afraid General Shan and his son, as well as Censor Xie, have arrived by now."

These people really came here just by smelling the scent, their noses are sharper than a dog's!

After changing into casual clothes, Emperor Jing came to the imperial study in high spirits. Just as Xu Mingyuan said, everyone was there, not one more or one less.

Most importantly, everyone was holding one or more wooden boxes in their hands.

Censor Xie was scolding Xie Youzhi, but when he saw the emperor coming, he quickly shut up and said, "I'll deal with you later!"

Only after the emperor sat down on the dragon throne did he realize that something seemed to be missing from his desk.

Oh, right, the pen and inkstone are gone, and there are fewer memorials!

Looking around again, I found that the imperial study was much emptier.

Are you sure these two rebellious sons didn’t come back to clean up the mess?

Fortunately, all the big items were included.

Forget it, just take it. Won’t it be theirs sooner or later?

"What are you doing here?"

"Royal brother, I heard from my servants this morning that there was a monster in the sky, so I guessed that it must be the seventh brother who flew a plane to pick me up." King Xiaoyao said proudly.

Emperor Xiao Jing frowned slightly, "How do you know?"

"Brother Emperor, I have written to the Seventh Elder, asking him to fly a plane to pick me up to celebrate the New Year. I didn't expect the Seventh Elder to be so efficient. I thought we would have to wait until New Year's Eve."

Emperor Xiao Jing looked at Chu Moyuan with some disappointment. Didn’t he come here specially to pick him up?

Chu Moyuan shrugged, "I didn't receive any letter. I came here specifically to pick up my father!"

After hearing this, Emperor Xiao Jing's expression instantly turned from gloomy to cheerful, and his icy face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, brightened up.

King Xiaoyao stood up anxiously, "You didn't receive the letter? Then where's my letter? Why did you fly here if you didn't receive the letter?"

Chu Moyuan replied, "Who knows where your letter is? Beichuan is so cold, are you sure your pigeon can fly here alive? Will it be roasted on the way?"

King Xiaoyao slapped his forehead and said, "My best pigeon must have been frozen into an ice sculpture!"

"Then how did the General's wife know about this?"

General Shan also reacted, "Yes, ma'am, how did you know?"
