Chapter 681 The True Dragon Appears
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
"What does the Queen mean by this?"
"When His Majesty ascended the throne, he didn't encounter such an outrageous situation."
"Crows are unlucky. Could it be that the will was not left by the late emperor?"
“…”
"Song Yi, write down all the people who are talking."
What Song Jiuyuan wanted was this opportunity to catch the other party in one fell swoop. Even if he couldn't kill them, he could remember them and deal with them one by one later.
Glancing at everyone's doubtful looks, the Queen Mother felt slightly pleased, even though her second son could not ascend the throne.
Nor can a child born to a lowly person be allowed to ascend to this position.
"Everyone, be careful with your words!"
Old Chu was the first to stand up, his sharp eyes cast on the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. Although there are crows, the weather is sunny and windy.
I don’t know who made that noise, so don’t take it seriously.”
"Mr. Chu."
The Queen Mother frowned and said in a cold voice: "This is the hint given by the late Emperor to our ancestors.
Xiao Ba is still young, and has not received much instruction from a tutor, so he is not fit to be an emperor."
"Grandmother, if you think I am not worthy of being the emperor, then who do you think is worthy of being the emperor?"
The emperor stood on a high platform, looking down at his grandmother who had never given him a good look.
Although he was young, he was full of aura at this moment, as if he had become a real dragon.
The Queen Mother was somewhat weakened by his pressure, but she still managed to speak:
"The late emperor passed away suddenly, and this will was probably written suddenly as well. He didn't even know that he had a prince in his beloved concubine's belly."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
No one ever expected that the Queen Mother would rather support a prince who was still in the womb to be the emperor than recognize the Eighth Prince.
"absurd!"
Old Chu found it unbelievable. He stared at the empress dowager and shook his head. That look made the empress dowager feel a chill in her heart.
The more he did so, the more the Queen Mother insisted, "Come here, bring Concubine Wu over."
"Wait."
Song Jiuyuan stopped the Queen Mother from doing this, "Concubine Wu is already the concubine of the previous emperor. It is against the rules for her to appear on the sacrificial altar."
This is naturally against the rules. Except for the wife, concubines are not qualified to attend such occasions.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
Jiang Wan stood in front of Song Jiuyuan and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother was only because of the appearance of the crow.
Do you think the Eighth Prince is unfit to be the Emperor? That's really ridiculous!"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Queen Mother was a little annoyed. "I am the daughter-in-law of the royal family, so naturally I want to do it for the good of the royal family."
"very good."
Jiang Wan was attracted by the much more stable Eighth Prince, now the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
She raised her hand slightly, and wisps of powder flew into the air, leaving everyone confused.
This Jiang Wan...what kind of medicine is this?
"Jiang Wan, what do you mean?"
The Queen Mother glared at Jiang Wan angrily. If it weren't for Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan, the situation wouldn't have turned out like this.
Her second grandson should be the new emperor of Dafeng!
“Here I come.”
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows, and soon, waves of familiar chirping sounds reached everyone's ears.
As they got closer, everyone saw black shadows in the sky.
The shadow hovered in the air, making a series of pleasant sounds.
"It's a magpie!"
Someone exclaimed, alerting everyone present.
Joy brings good luck. Now does the Queen Mother still dare to say that it is unlucky for crows to come here?
Jiang Wan likes to use magic to defeat magic the most!
"Sister Wanwan, you are so amazing."
Song Jiuli lowered her voice, not daring to let everyone hear that such a precious Sister Wanwan belonged to their family.
"Don't worry, there's more."
Jiang Wan yawned lazily, chu...
There was a loud noise in the sky, and a yellow figure suddenly appeared in the air.
It's a dragon!
The courtiers who were already kneeling on the ground opened their mouths in surprise.
"May the auspicious signs from heaven bless me with great prosperity!"
Mr. Chu's voice was so loud that the empress dowager almost fainted on the ground. She muttered to herself.
"Impossible, how could this happen?"
"Long live the emperor."
"It seems that even the heavens think that the emperor is a real dragon."
"A true dragon has appeared in the world, and it will bless us with great prosperity."
“…”
The Queen Mother's face was slapped loudly. Her last trump card was used up and she looked dejected.
The emperor on the high platform looked down at everyone, with a slight smile on his face.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
“…”
Now even those ministers who had ulterior motives did not dare to speak carelessly. Everyone was afraid to speak out and kept their heads down, fearing that the emperor would get angry.
However, the emperor was not angry. He walked down from the platform step by step, staring at the distraught empress dowager with sharp eyes.
"Grandmother, I didn't expect you to hate me so much."
"Ai Jia...Ai Jia..."
The Queen Mother's clever mind couldn't think of a way to deal with the situation for a while, simply because she was too confident.
She always thought that Xiao Ba was able to ascend to the throne because of luck, and was lucky to be chosen by Song Jiuyuan.
But now it seems not to be the case. Xiao Ba has always been a vicious wolf hiding in the palace, waiting for an opportunity to devour people like them.
"Come here, the Queen Mother is spreading lies to confuse the people and is trying to disturb the hearts of the ministers. Considering her advanced age, send her to Putuo Temple to retire."
"You can't chase me away!"
The Queen Mother was not convinced. She had worked hard all her life, but in the end she was just making wedding dresses for others.
"The Royal Grandmother is old, so it's better for her to worry less."
The emperor cast a cold gaze on her, "As for the child in Concubine Wu's belly.
Don't worry, Grandmother. I am not a cruel person. After Concubine Wu gives birth to a child, she will be adopted into the royal family."
If the emperor had not just ascended the throne and needed to consolidate his position, he might have used more drastic measures.
"You are so cruel."
The Queen Mother was filled with sadness. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Old Man Chu who was not far away. There were emotions in her eyes that even Jiang Wan could not understand.
The sacrificial ceremony continued only after the Queen Mother was forcibly taken away.
The emperor successfully ascended the throne and the next step was to celebrate, but as the previous emperor had passed away not long ago, the banquet was very simple.
"Does the Queen Mother have a grudge against Mr. Chu?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Wan quietly asked Song Jiuyuan, but he didn't answer. Instead, Madam Song beside him interrupted and said:
"I also heard this from hearsay, but I heard that before the Queen Mother entered the palace, she had an engagement with Mr. Chu."
"sky!"
Song Jiuli covered her mouth exaggeratedly, and Jiang Wan also found it unbelievable.
No wonder the empress dowager looked at Old Chu like that before she left. She seemed to know why the emperor was so afraid of Old Chu.
These are hidden plots that were not written in the original plot.
"Why are you so surprised?"
Mrs. Song rolled her eyes at Song Jiuli in annoyance and quietly pulled Jiang Wan to whisper in her ear.
"Wanwan, what's going on with the real dragon in the sky?
You are so smart, it must be your attention, right? "
Her son could never have thought of such a clever idea.
