"Royal Concubine, you and the Fifth Prince are not content with competing with the world. If you don't compete, how will some people make a move?" Su Chenyu spoke at this time, "Since Cai Que has already developed a different mind, why not make good use of it and warn the people behind her not to stretch their hands too far."
The Imperial Concubine was a little hesitant. If she took action, it would mean that she would be involved in the disputes in the harem.
Su Siyi said, "My Lady, I know your temper. Now this person has come to cause trouble. If we don't fight back, he will definitely attack us again and again."
Hearing Su Siyi's words, the Imperial Concubine nodded, then looked at Su Chenyu again: "But, how should we respond?"
Su Chenyu smiled: "Isn't this the best opportunity? She cares about the position of Queen, but you don't. The Emperor thinks so highly of the empty title, and you, Imperial Concubine, should do as the Emperor wishes."
The Imperial Concubine understood what Su Chenyu meant: "The princess is really smart."
After Su Chenyu left, the Imperial Concubine found out that Emperor Jing of Wei was in the Imperial Study, and Concubine Yuan was accompanying him inside: "Please prepare a cheese puff pastry. I will send it to the Emperor later."
"yes."
Not long after, a palace maid brought in a serving of steaming cheese puffs. The Imperial Concubine ordered the maid to put the cheese puffs in the food box, then she got up and went to the imperial study.
When the Imperial Noble Consort arrived, Emperor Jing of Wei was just about to accompany Concubine Yuan to stroll around the Imperial Garden: "Since you're here, let's walk together."
The three of them arrived at the Imperial Garden together. Emperor Jing of Wei and Concubine Yuan walked in front, while the Imperial Noble Concubine walked behind, making her look like an outsider.
"Royal Concubine, there have been many rumors in the harem recently. You are in charge of the affairs of the harem, but you have not fulfilled your responsibilities." The first sentence of Emperor Jing of Wei was to hold the Royal Concubine accountable. The Royal Concubine was not panicked: "Your Majesty, it is useless for me to suppress this matter. After all, the position of Queen is vacant. Not to mention the harem, even the former dynasty is not peaceful."
The Imperial Concubine mentioned the position of Empress in this way, which surprised Emperor Jing of Wei: "You think I should enthrone a new Empress as soon as possible to stop the gossips."
Concubine Yuan smiled and said, "It's really interesting that the Imperial Concubine does things. Your Majesty has to work hard on everything."
The Imperial Noble Consort did not take Concubine Yuan's words to heart and said to Emperor Jing of Wei, "This matter really requires your intervention, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jing of Wei stopped, turned around and looked at the Imperial Concubine, his tone becoming noticeably more serious: "Then tell me, how should I come forward?"
The Imperial Concubine bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the Queen has not passed away for long. No matter what happened to her when she was alive, as long as you did not abolish her position when she was alive, she is the Queen of Dayu. The Queen has just passed away, and she should observe mourning for three years. If the matter of succession is mentioned at this time, I am afraid that the subjects of Dayu will think that Your Majesty does not remember the old friendship.
Therefore, I ask the Emperor to come forward and bring up the issue of the successor three years later, and then the disputes in the former court and the harem can be settled.”
The old people in the harem all knew something about what Empress Lian had done. As long as Emperor Jing of Wei did not depose her, then Empress Lian would have been given this honor, even if she died.
The fact that Emperor Jing of Wei was willing to keep the throne vacant for three years also showed that he was very nostalgic and it was beneficial to his reputation.
This was the most satisfying answer that Emperor Jing of Wei had heard in all these days: "Now the court officials all think that I have already appointed the crown prince. What does the Imperial Concubine think about this?"
