No matter which country the courtiers are from, those who can stand in the court and accompany the emperor for a long time are all experienced and experienced people.
It is precisely because of this that people are more cautious and make all kinds of speculations at the slightest sign of trouble.
At this moment, the court officials were truly horrified by Empress Dowager Fengluan's sudden action.
The Queen Mother is actually so concerned about Murong Jiu. What does this mean?
And the men who won with Baili Feiyue, whether they had their names called and returned to their original positions, or those who had not been called yet, all looked at her.
Baili Feiyue curled her lips silently.
Just go in.
Empress Dowager Fengluan wanted to see her. She had also wanted to meet this powerful Empress Dowager Fengluan for a long time.
He walked in without any humility, ignoring the gazes of the court officials, and looked straight ahead with a natural attitude.
Queen Mother Fengluan spoke again, "Raise your head."
Baili Feiyue raised her head and saw two people sitting behind the curtain on the high seat behind the dragon throne.
Although her face was not clearly visible due to the curtain, she was familiar with her mother's figure. The person next to her mother was obviously the Queen Mother Fengluan who spoke.
"She looks good, but she's a little young. But she's able to stand out and walk to the front of the palace in a white body at such a young age, which shows her ability."
Through the curtain, she looked at Baili Feiyue's face and spoke again calmly, "I once passed by Qingzhou. You have a special product in Qingzhou called green dumplings. They are sweet, sticky, fragrant and delicious. I ate them once and still remember them to this day."
Baili Feiyue smiled and replied openly, "Your Majesty, we Qingzhou people don't really like sweets. The specialty green dumplings you mentioned are the favorite of Yongzhou people who live next to Qingzhou. The green dumplings you ate in Qingzhou must have been sold by Yongzhou merchants in Qingzhou."
To participate in the election of the Emperor's Husband, one naturally needs the identity of a Fengluan.
How could she, a poor girl in white who was born in Qingzhou, not remember the specialties of her hometown?
Qian Qingwu, who was beside the Queen Mother, didn't know that Murong Jiu in front of her was Baili Feiyue.
She also didn't know the specific circumstances of selecting the emperor's husband outside the palace.
At this moment, because the Queen Mother beside him spoke specially, everyone's attention fell on Baili Feiyue.
As if he noticed his mother's gaze, Baili Feiyue's eyes shifted slightly to the side, and the bright smile on his lips grew wider.
Logically speaking, this is an extremely unreasonable and frivolous behavior, even punishable by beheading.
Qian Qingwu did not find the young prince's smile offensive, but instead felt it was inexplicably familiar and friendly.
Then, it was as if a thunderbolt struck my head.
Suddenly an impossible but very likely guess popped up.
Jing'er!
Even Qian Qingwu's heart was in turmoil at this moment, but her face remained calm without any unnecessary expression.
"Is that so?" The Queen Mother remained calm. "I don't know about that."
Baili Feiyue's gaze, which had been slightly moved away so that no difference could be seen, had already returned, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became brighter, looking like a young man full of vigor and energy, who is not afraid of a tiger.
"Your Majesty, you don't often visit the people, so it's normal that you don't know about this." Things have come to this point. What kind of mentality did Empress Dowager Guan Fengluan have when she said these seemingly insignificant words, but in fact they left people with endless imagination.
Anyway, there is no need to force yourself, just go back.
If Empress Dowager Fengluan already suspected or knew her identity, even if she just wanted to make things difficult for her, there was no point for her to pretend to be a grandson now.
Then she naturally doesn't need to pretend to be the grandson.
"How dare you! Do you have any rules at all?" One of the court officials couldn't help but speak, feeling a little disgusted in his heart. After all, he was just a commoner in the wilderness who didn't know any rules at all.
Baili Feiyue smiled and raised her eyebrows, looking at the minister who spoke.
Wow, this is such an unexpected gain.
It’s so easy to help mother identify one of Queen Mother Fengluan’s loyal followers.
"Sir, I come from the countryside and have no manners. I only know how to answer the Queen Mother's words honestly. But you, Sir, scolded me in front of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, which really broadened my horizons."
The court official had never expected Baili Feiyue to be so blunt and sharp. After a pause, he knelt down in fear and trepidation, "This old minister is rude in front of the palace. This old minister deserves death!"
There was a flash of deep meaning in Baili Feiyue's eyes when she looked at him.
The saying that a new emperor appoints new ministers is true.
Not to mention that there seems to be a rift between Empress Dowager Fengluan and my mother. In the imperial family, even if there is no rift between the father and son, or the mother and son, after sitting in this position, my mother will definitely cultivate her own loyal supporters.
The expression of Empress Dowager Fengluan could not be seen clearly behind the curtain, but she ignored the minister.
The empress Qian Qingwu also remained silent.
The atmosphere in the court suddenly became inexplicably solemn.
The Queen Mother finally said calmly, "Forget it. Today is the Empress's big day. Fine me half a year's salary and leave."
After the courtier thanked her profusely and retreated tremblingly, the Queen Mother no longer had the heart to ask Baili Feiyue, but just said in a light tone, "Empress, what do you think of Murong Jiu?"
Qian Qingwu's tone was equally unremarkable, "You have a lively personality, which is rare."
"Does the Empress mean that she likes him?"
"I really like her."
The court officials below took a deep breath.
Her Majesty the Empress actually said in front of so many people that she liked someone. How much she valued him and how much she put him in the spotlight!
You know, even though this guy is young and handsome, he has no background!
The empress has returned after a long absence and needs all kinds of support, but she chose such a person?
Some court officials also quietly looked in the direction of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother spoke again without any emotion, "Since you like him, Queen, then it should be him."
The final word!
From this moment on, Baili Feiyue, Murong Jiu, was given the title of the husband of Empress Fengluan!
As for what specific titles the remaining few were given, no one except the court officials and their relatives in the palace was interested.
No one would have expected that the empress, who was in desperate need of support, would choose such a person!
The timing of this imperial husband selection was so hasty that when the result came out, the palace had already been decorated with lights and lanterns.
Baili Feiyue and her mother went through the simple wedding ceremonies according to Fengluan's rules. After nightfall, the bedroom, which was filled with a joyous atmosphere, was finally filled with only Baili Feiyue and Qian Qingwu.
Baili Feiyue threw herself into Qian Qingwu's arms only after she made sure that there was indeed no one eavesdropping outside.
"Mother~"
Qian Qingwu placed her hand on her back helplessly and lovingly, "You are here after all."
"Of course my daughter has to come," Baili Feiyue said innocently, "Mother, you don't want to marry anyone at all. I don't want you to just pick a random man to be your husband."
On the other side, the Queen Mother's bedroom.
The Queen Mother looked at Qian Jingshu who came in, "Shu'er, you are finally here."
