Chapter 251: Storage

The smiling fox's mask was punctured, and he was analyzed thoroughly from head to toe, even his soul.

Xu Lanqi felt panicky and could no longer maintain her usual slick smile.

What has happened to this little girl!

A girl who is only ten years old can see through people's hearts so clearly.

Few people in the court remembered the minor mistake that happened that year, nor would they see through his selfish motives because of it.

Bei Jingchu felt his eyes looking at her as if she was a monster, and finally felt relieved.

It is more comfortable to see the fearful look in the monster's eyes than to see the look of it selecting goods.

She took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and as the hot water flowed down, she felt a warmth in her chest.

After taking a break, she continued to break the psychological defenses of a certain old fox: "In fact, it's not that His Majesty can't see it, but he is deceiving himself and doesn't want to believe it."

"I guess you two must have had a very good relationship in school."

Just like her and Nian'er.

"Since Aye's ascension to the throne was a bloody one, you must have gone through a lot of hardships. He may even pass on the guilt he felt for his other deceased companion to you."

"As long as you don't touch his bottom line, he won't be willing to doubt you, scrutinize you, or punish you."

Bei Jingchu sighed.

Aye always dislikes her being soft-hearted.

But when it comes to people he considers important, such as Xu Lanqi, he is obviously soft-hearted.

"The Xu family now has a minister of the imperial court, and Xu Shaoqing has also been made a marquis."

"Everything that prospers must decline, and every achievement that is too great will shock the ruler."

"You should know how dangerous it is to go any further."

"So, I can't promise to give you anything."

"Of course, I won't ask the Minister of the Central Secretariat to help me with anything."

"But if your majesty makes any important decision, I hope you won't lose your mind and become a drag."

He finally learned his lesson and made his position clear: "Of course, I will always follow your Majesty's will."

Bei Jingchu smiled with satisfaction and said no more. She asked Haoyue to call the actors in and continued listening to the music.

The result is that you scare others and you will suffer retribution.

Xu Lanqi began to scare her: "Your Highness, do you think my boy Xu Chengzhu is qualified to be your principal wife?"

"Puff!" The tea in her throat spurted out.

Xu Lanqi was still promoting her own son without any conscience: "I will definitely teach him well and teach him to have the bearing of a principal wife. I will never be jealous and stop His Highness from finding someone else to be happy."

"......"

"I will also make sure he remains a virgin and observes the moral codes of a man."

"......"

"She will also make sure he keeps in good shape. Does Your Highness prefer men who are more elegant or more muscular?"

"......"

"If it's really not possible, the side room is also fine, but it still needs a status, right?"

"...Haoyue, show the guest out!"

The Zhongshu Ling who was chased out was prying at the crack of the door, still begging: "Your Highness, please give me a chance, Your Highness, my boy is still good-looking, Your Highness!"

......

In the past few days, Bei Jingchu interviewed several important officials who she thought might cause trouble.

All the actions were not hidden from the emperor.

When she was finally ready, she entered Yu's study and said solemnly to her father, "Your Majesty, I'm ready."

[Ready to take a step that has spanned thousands of years and several dynasties, a step that no one has taken so far.]

[Ready to set the first precedent. ]

[Ready to face the inherent prejudice and prove to the world that ability is more important than gender. ]

[I am also ready to be the leader of a dynasty. 】

The emperor above smiled slightly, without judging the child's bold words, but as an old father, he said: "When you are ready, go to bed. You will know the result in the court tomorrow morning."

"...Okay."

The next morning court session.

The ministers stood on both sides sleepily as usual.

After all, I got up before dawn and didn't need to eat breakfast to avoid diarrhea.

There is basically nothing big to do every day. Most of the time it's just some trivial details and summary reports from three provinces and six ministries.

After completing the day's routine, everyone was looking forward to leaving court early and having a good rest.

Only some important officials who had been interviewed were a little nervous, and it seemed that the court was calm but a storm was about to come.

The emperor sitting high gave a look to his male version of Jieyuhua, and Xu Lanqi walked out helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Now that the royal heirs have grown up, in order to protect the stability of the country, I propose to establish a crown prince."

This thunderous remark immediately woke up all the sleepy court officials.

Are you going to play so big today?

Some sensitive people noticed that it was referring to the royal heir, not the prince.

Many people secretly observed the emperor's expression, and saw the emperor asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any suggestions, my dear minister?"

Xu Lanqi was speechless. Old and young, they had to pick on him alone, right?

He could only bite the bullet and say, "I think that the act of establishing a crown prince is nothing more than establishing the legitimate heir, the eldest son, or the most capable one."

"The central palace has been empty for a long time, so it is time for Chang Hexian to come and discuss it."

"Among the princes, the third prince should be the oldest, but the sixth prince is more talented."

The confused courtiers who were just watching the show said: I am listening to your words as if they were your words.

You sound like you're talking nonsense.

His Majesty asks you who is better, and you say this one is better and that one is better.

But the following sentence made their jaws drop.

"It's hard for both of them to be perfect, but Princess Tianzhen is both tall and virtuous."

"He became famous at a young age, and he was well versed in the government and had many unique ideas."

"I think the princess is the best choice."

The entire hall was silent for a long while; even the sound of the wind outside echoed in.

Then the atmosphere became boiling, and someone in the back even said excitedly, "Are you crazy?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Lanqi immediately returned to the line, determined not to say another word.

This father and daughter should have some conscience and not let him do everything.

Someone came out to complain to Xu Lanqi: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Central Secretariat spoke nonsense in the court and disrespected the imperial authority. He should be punished!"

As a result, few people agreed with him, and a slightly hoarse female voice rang out: "Your Majesty, Xu Xinshu, the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, seconded the request of the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

"Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Tong Huai'en seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Military Equipment Zhou Huanjiu seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty, the Langzhong Bei Qin of the Ministry of Personnel seconded the proposal."

"Your Highness, and the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Enfeoffment, Guo Yang, second this proposal."

"Your Highness, I am the chief priest of Hongwen..."

Everyone knelt down first.

After the emperor showed his approval, a number of important officials also knelt down one after another.

"My lord, General Lei Ning of Jinwu Guard..."

"Your Highness, the Minister of Chancellery..."

"minister,......"

"......"

The entire political situation was almost one-sided.

Bei Jingchu watched all this.

This was the day she had finally arrived at after a long period of preparation and careful planning.

We have everything: the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Overwhelmingly break through all obstacles and become the existence that everyone expects.

This way, she can sit on it safely.

If we fail this time, we will just alarm the snake with our hands, and then our efforts will be in vain.
