Feng Zhaolin then asked, "Emperor, why don't you see my eldest brother?"
"Just now, Huailue suddenly showed signs of physical abnormality. I have asked him to go home to rest, and the Grand Concubine has also gone home to look after Huailue."
Feng Xuanming said this indifferently. Feng Zhaolin felt somewhat puzzled. With Feng Huailue's personality, it was impossible for him to miss Feng Xuanming's birthday unless he was dead.
However, Feng Zhaolin would never have guessed that Feng Xuanming had eliminated Feng Huailue forever when he was least wary.
Feng Zhaolin suppressed the doubts in his heart and did not ask any more questions.
"Before you accept the birthday gifts, I have something to announce first." Feng Xuanming said with a smile, "The Imperial Concubine is gentle and kind, chaste and quiet, and should be the model mother of Western Xia. I want to enthrone her as the Queen."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. No one expected that Feng Xuanming would suddenly bring up this matter at this time.
"Your Majesty, isn't it too hasty to enthrone the Empress now since they both passed away not long ago?" The Minister of Rites raised his question.
Feng Xuanming was suddenly a little unhappy: "Today is my birthday. My greatest wish is to be a married couple. Only with the queen by my side can I celebrate this birthday well."
The Minister of Rites did not dare to question again, but the one sitting on the other side, Wen Jing, spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think the imperial concubine has the potential to be the queen. If she can rule the six palaces, Xixia will surely prosper."
Even the Imperial Master had spoken, and no one present dared to raise any objections.
And at this moment, the people she hated the most were naturally Concubine Nian, Concubine De and Concubine Lan. Yi Qingchen was about to die, so why did she still occupy the position of Queen?
Yi Qingchen advised: "Your Majesty, today is your birthday, let's discuss the matter of conferring the title of Queen later."
Feng Xuanming shook his head: "This matter is very important. If you become my wife, it will be the best birthday gift for me to receive."
Yi Qingchen didn't say anything else, just smiled slightly, with no joy in his expression.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanming directly ordered: "Since all of you have no objection, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory will choose an auspicious day, and the Ministry of Rites will take charge to hold the ceremony of conferring the title of Empress."
Hearing this, Yi Qingchen clenched her fist under her sleeve. She didn't want to be Feng Xuanming's legal wife. This was an insult to her, but she had no other choice now.
As long as the ceremony of crowning the queen was not officially held, she, the queen, would at most be a title. When she died in the underground, she and Feng Xuanming would not be a legitimate couple.
Although the ceremony of crowning the queen was not held, Feng Xuanming's decree had been issued, and now everyone had to call Yi Qingchen the queen.
When the Empress was enthroned, all the people in the harem of the former Xixia dynasty stood up and knelt, bowing respectfully: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years of live the Empress."
"Everyone, please stand up."
After everyone stood up and sat down again, only one person was still kneeling in the middle of the hall, not moving.
"Master Chang, are you dissatisfied with my enthronement of the Queen?" Feng Xuanming wanted to find an opportunity to deal with the Chang family, but he didn't expect that the Chang family would seek their own destruction first.
Chang Taifu knelt on the ground, straightened his upper body, and looked directly at Feng Xuanming: "Your Majesty is wise, and it is a great joy to confer the title of Empress. But I have something in my heart, and if I don't say it today, I will not be able to sleep or eat well."
Feng Xuanming didn't know what Taifu Chang was up to at this time. With so many eyes watching in the hall, Feng Xuanming couldn't help but let Taifu Chang speak: "What do you want to say, Lord Chang?"
Taifu Chang looked around and finally looked at Concubine Nian: "Your Majesty, I want to report Concubine Nian for her audacity and confusion of the royal bloodline."
A layer of stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and Feng Xuanming's face suddenly darkened: "Master Chang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Every word Taifu Chang spoke was sonorous and powerful: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is not your blood at all. He is the child of Concubine Nian who had an affair with someone else in order to win favor."
