The wives of the concubines are empresses

The ministers also looked at Tutor Yun. You have to know that he is the emperor's teacher, responsible for education, and his words carry great weight.

"minister……"

Grand Tutor Yun looked up at the Empress and bowed slightly, "I believe the throne should be inherited by the late Emperor's descendants."

When these words were spoken, the ministers were shocked.

"What? Master Yun, the late emperor had no princes. Are you going to leave the country without anyone?" The speaker was the Minister of Revenue.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture stepped forward and said, "The Minister of Revenue is wrong. The late emperor was indeed childless."

The Minister of Works thought of Princess Zhaolan and said, "What the Minister of Agriculture said is true. The late emperor did have a son."

Someone objected: "Nonsense, are you all blind?"

The entire hall was filled with people whispering and discussing loudly.

The Queen just watched silently, not intending to speak for the time being. She was waiting to see how many people would speak for others, so that she could have a good measure in her heart.

Military generals were not as roundabout as civil officials. General Xuanwei asked loudly, "Did the late emperor have a Princess Zhaolan?"

When he said this, all the ministers were stunned.

The queen also glanced at him.

The Grand Secretary said, "General Xuanwei is right. Princess Zhaolan is indeed the late emperor's only child."

The Minister of Works pursed his lips tightly and said, "If we are talking about inheriting the throne, Princess Zhaolan is the legitimate daughter of the Empress and the late Emperor. This is indeed the legitimate right."

Taifu Yun listened to the discussion of the ministers, listened quietly for a while, and did not express his opinion.

The Dali Temple official stepped forward and said, "Princess Zhaolan is indeed orthodox if she follows the ancestral rules."

The Minister of Rites said, "But there has never been a precedent of a woman becoming emperor."

General Huaiyuan was unconcerned: "Women can become generals, so why can't they become emperors?"

These scholars are so pretentious, it's simply because the princess is not the one they chose.

When Shangguan Wanjun was invited into the Golden Palace, she was completely confused. Neither the modern Xia You nor her original self had ever been to the Golden Palace.

Facing the ministers who had been in office for decades, Shangguan Wanjun was still a little scared.

She walked to the royal palace and bowed respectfully to the queen: "Your son pays homage to your mother."

What Shangguan Wanjun didn't know was that from the moment she came in, all the ministers had been watching and observing Princess Zhaolan, the only child of the late emperor.

The Queen smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite."

The sound of falling leaves could be heard in the quiet hall. Shangguan Wanjun felt uncomfortable standing there, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

The Queen looked at her only daughter and said, "Princess, the ministers are discussing who will inherit the throne, and they want to hear your opinion."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned: Isn’t it said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?

Did she take the wrong track?

She sighed inwardly and said helplessly, "I have no objection. Let's do as the emperor will."

She remembered that it was played like that on TV, mainly based on the will of the late emperor, so this should have been kept.

Alas, why didn’t she reincarnate into someone else, but into the late emperor’s only daughter? Her situation is really embarrassing now.

Will the new emperor's ascension to the throne cost her life?

Some ministers were reminded by her words.

"Yes, the late emperor's will."

When everyone was arguing again, General Xuanwei shouted loudly.

"Stop arguing. You all don't know the late emperor's will. I'm sure you don't know. Why don't you ask the Empress?"

When the queen heard this, she was slightly delighted and her face remained extremely calm.

"General Xuanwei has reminded me that the late emperor did leave behind a will."

Upon hearing this, the ministers were overjoyed: "Excuse me, Queen, where is the late emperor's will? We should quickly retrieve it and respectfully welcome the new emperor to the throne."

Shangguan Wanjun also looked at her mother silently.

The queen took out the written imperial edict from her bosom and looked at Eunuch Lin beside her.

"Eunuch Lin, please read it."

Eunuch Lin respectfully stepped forward to take the imperial edict. He opened it respectfully and read it solemnly.

"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Princess Zhaolan is virtuous, polite, and filial, and is my only child. She is hereby granted the title of Crown Princess. In the event of my death, Princess Zhaolan Shangguan Wanjun will inherit the throne. This is my decree!"

Shangguan Wanjun widened her eyes: Did she hear it wrong just now?

Master Yun did not have much objection to the current situation.

"Your Majesty, we respectfully welcome the new emperor to the throne. Long live our emperor."

General Xuanwei was not very interested in who would be the emperor, but as far as orthodoxy was concerned, Princess Zhaolan was indeed the only offspring of the late emperor.

"I respectfully welcome the new emperor to the throne. Long live our emperor."

As the ministers welcomed the new emperor to the throne, gradually everyone knelt down to welcome him.

Shangguan Wanjun was already terrified: Are they kidding me? They want a good-for-nothing princess like her to be the emperor? Are these people crazy?

The Queen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat on the Dragon Throne."

When Shangguan Wanjun heard her mother's words, she was so frightened that her legs trembled. Fortunately, her skirt blocked her legs, so she didn't feel too embarrassed.

Seeing that the princess was still standing there, Eunuch Lin hurried down.

"Princess, you are the legitimate heir. Please take the throne and let all the ministers kneel before you."

Shangguan Wanjun didn't know how she sat on the throne. She seemed to be pulled up by Minister Yun and other ministers.

Seeing her daughter sitting on the dragon throne, the queen felt relieved.

Shangguan Wanjun felt overwhelmed and looked around the entire room.

"Excuse me, ministers, is there really no other candidate?" Her palms were now soaked with sweat.

The ministers were shocked when they heard this: What does the emperor mean?

Looking at their surprised expressions, Shangguan Wanjun wanted to cry.

The Queen scolded: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words. Now that you are the emperor of a country, remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Shangguan Wanjun really wanted to cry, but the current scene made her feel extremely tormented.

A day passed in a daze, and Shangguan Wanjun was stopped when she was about to return to the Imperial Palace.

"What for? I want to return to the palace, and you're stopping me."

Eunuch Lin said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are now the Emperor of a country. It is no longer appropriate for you to live in the Imperial Palace. The Dragon Bedchamber has been prepared. Please move in."

Shangguan Wanjun was extremely surprised: Didn’t the emperor just pass away, and she was going to move in?

Does it fit?

Eunuch Lin seemed to see through her thoughts and continued, "Your Majesty, it would be inappropriate for you not to live in the Dragon Bedchamber."

Shangguan Wanjun was ashamed: But she moved in right after the late emperor passed away, she was afraid.

Eunuch Lin saw the worry and fear in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already transferred all the people you are familiar with in the palace to the Dragon Bedchamber."

Shangguan Wanjun almost dropped her jaw in shock: Wasn’t her throne just confirmed?

She felt that her brain was not enough, so she took Lianhua Muxiang and others and walked into the Dragon Palace again.

She had come here once before today, and she was still a little scared.

But what Eunuch Lin said was right, the palace maids of the Imperial Court Palace were indeed already in the Dragon Bedroom.

Lianhua felt sorry for her master, so she helped her to sit on the couch.

"Your Majesty, would you like some tea?"

Shangguan Wanjun felt that she really needed to calm down.

She sat on the couch in silence for a full quarter of an hour before looking up.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Eunuch Lin came back from his work and just happened to hear these words.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you have to call yourself "I." It seems that he still needs to remind the emperor more often.

Shangguan Wanjun really wanted to hold her forehead with her hand.
