Chapter 237 I have a son, but you don’t
Virtuous and kind?
Xiao Jin doesn't need a living memorial archway, he just wants Yuntang to be happy and be himself.
What he loves is Yuntang's stubbornness, intelligence, and scheming.
As long as you don’t run...you can do anything!
Choosing a concubine?
Expand the royal family?
A dark and cold light flashed across Xiao Jin's eyes.
He was domineering and majestic, looking down at His Highness and his ministers with cold disdain: "Sir Sima, I have a son and a daughter."
"Your Majesty! The Holy Heir is so weak!!!"
Sima Hong knelt and shouted, "Since ancient times, which emperor has only one empress? One son?"
"The succession of the emperor is a matter of great importance to the country!"
"The continuation of the imperial family's lineage demonstrates the prosperity of the royal family! Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, so it's appropriate for him to take in more concubines!"
After Sima Hong finished speaking, many ministers nodded in agreement.
The father conquers the world, and the son inherits and protects it.
I only have one son. What if something happens to him?
No one dared to say this, but their eyes and expressions all conveyed this meaning.
Someone even secretly encouraged him: "Mr. Han, would you please say something?"
Duke Hanguo, the old censor who had just been granted the title a few days ago, rolled his eyes when he heard this.
He is old!
Don't seek death!
Didn’t you see that Pei Xueyi, Xie Yuheng and the others were pretending to be deaf and dumb? Did they count the number of floor tiles?
"Lord Sima."
As soon as Xiao Jin opened his mouth, the whole audience listened quietly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin changed the topic in a way that left no one confused.
He spoke in a casual tone: "How many children does Lord Sima have?"
Sima Hong, now middle-aged, was smug when he heard this, puffing out his chest proudly and boastingly: "Your Majesty! I have four sons and two daughters!"
"Except for the youngest girl, everyone is married!"
"My eldest and second sons have already given me two grandchildren! Our family is flourishing!"
He is so proud!
Which man wouldn’t envy him for having so many children and grandchildren?
After hearing this, Your Majesty will definitely be moved and want to take more concubines and have more children!
"Pass on my decree—give Lord Sima's son poisoned wine! Execute immediately."
"As you wish!"
ah? ? ?
no! ! !
Sima Hong couldn't believe it, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
All the civil and military officials in the court gasped in shock.
Xiao Jin looked down from above, leaning slightly forward as he sat on the dragon throne, his sharp and sinister eyes ruthless and cold-blooded.
He lowered his head and sneered: "Lord Sima, look, now you only have your daughter left."
"I still have a son, but you don't."
"Ah——" Sima Hong screamed and knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order——"
Xiao Jin: "You don't want your grandson anymore?"
Sima Hong felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed his neck. He couldn't make a sound and could only shed tears, filled with regret.
Xiao Jin sat up straight, his narrow and deep phoenix eyes like ice knives, sweeping across all the civil and military officials.
"Who else?"
Xiao Jin asked, "Those who wish to advise me on choosing a concubine, please stand up now."
The whole hall was filled with silence.
With the example of Lord Sima, no one dared to advise on the selection of a concubine again.
Xiao Jin snorted coldly, his voice majestic and domineering: "Outside officials are not allowed to interfere in the harem!"
"My legitimate sons and daughters can only be born from the Queen!"
In the silence, Pei Xueyi, Xie Yuheng and the others were the first to kneel and salute: "Your Majesty is wise and wise!"
All the civil and military officials came to their senses and knelt down to obey the order.
The court is dismissed.
Sima Hong cried so hard that he couldn't get up. Duke Han had no choice but to call the eunuchs to escort Sima Hong out of the palace.
He put his hands into his sleeves, shook his head and sighed. Sima Hong was really depressed!
"Korean Duke."
The young eunuch stood behind him and called out, "His Majesty has summoned you! Please follow me."
Han Guogong was confused. Why were they calling him?
Enter the inner hall.
In the hall, only Xiao Jin was reviewing memorials and working, without even a palace maid or eunuch around him.
Duke Han stroked his beard, rolled his eyes, and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, this old minister pays respects to you."
"Teacher, sit down."
"Oh my..." Mr. Han jumped up when he heard this.
He stepped back and waved his hands, "Your Majesty, you cannot shout! This old minister dares not! I cannot bear it!"
Xiao Jin raised his eyes and looked at him with dark and cold eyes.
Duke Han Guo was not afraid. He turned sideways with his hands in his pockets and said, "Don't look for me! It's definitely not a good thing!"
Xiao Jin smiled, but it wasn't a smile.
He asked, "Don't you want your grandson to get promoted and marry a grandson's wife?"
When Han Guogong heard this, his expression changed instantly.
The old man smiled and took the initiative to come to the table and bend down, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions? I will do my best!"
Xiao Jin lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.
After hearing this, Mr. Han's face turned green.
He hesitated and waved his hands, "How can an old minister speak about such a thing?"
"It has to be you."
Xiao Jin directly used threats and inducements: "The Queen's two cousins will be nineteen this year. I intend to grant them marriages!"
Duke Han was anxious. He gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, "Your Majesty, wait!"
…
harem.
Yufengtai, Changle Palace.
The six bureaus and twenty-four departments had no maids in charge, so all the maids-in-charge knelt in the hall, listening to the empress's order.
Qinglan shouted, "Those who have been in the palace for more than five years, stand up."
Dozens of people stood up immediately.
Yun Tang chose an old palace maid who looked honest and steady based on her appearance, "Shang Yi."
Then he appointed four more, who were to be the managers of the Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangqin Bureau and Shanggong Bureau respectively.
Qinglan cleared her throat and said, "I am the new Shang Gong——Qinglan. Why don't you all kneel down and thank the Empress for her grace?"
"Thank you, Queen—"
"Long live the Queen!"
The chosen palace maid was extremely excited and happy. She never dreamed that such great wealth would fall on her head.
The other palace maids were extremely envious.
Yun Tang said casually, in a lazy and charming manner, "It's only temporary. If you do well, continue. If you don't, find someone else."
"I will do my best to live up to the Queen's grace!"
The new maids in charge immediately became cautious.
The other palace maids also became more interested! If you work hard, you will have a chance!
For a moment, no one was worried about the death of Nanny Feng and others.
The turmoil in the harem was resolved by Yuntang in just a few words.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Xiao Yundan and Xiao Tangyue walked in.
Everyone immediately bowed deeply: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Mother, let them all go out!"
Xiao Tangyue threw herself into Yuntang's arms and said mysteriously in a soft and cute voice, "Baby wants to have a secret conversation with mother."
Yuntang smiled.
She touched Xiao Tangyue's head and pulled Xiao Yundan to her side.
Seeing this, Qinglan cleverly asked everyone to leave and leave the space for the mother and son and mother and daughter.
"Dan'er, baby..."
Yun Tang looked at her children lovingly and tenderly, and asked with a smile, "Is it fun in the palace? Are you adapting?"
Officially living in the palace is still different from going to the palace to play before.
From now on, the harem is their new home!
Xiao Tangyue was very clever. She hugged Yuntang softly and called her mother, saying coquettishly, "Mother, the palace is too big. I want a little sister."
"It's my younger brother!" Xiao Yundan corrected her.
Xiao Tangyue's cheeks puffed up, "I want a sister! Sisters are fun and I can dress up!"
Xiao Yundan pursed his lips, his face serious and cool: "Brother can do it too."
Yuntang frowned when he heard this.
She looked around and asked, "Dan'er, baby, who told you that?"
"What brothers and sisters?"
