"I never said Shuangbao should move out! I didn't even tell her about the talent show!"
This was the first time in Emperor Cheng Xuan's life that he had been wronged, and it was such a terrible thing. He pinched his brows with a pained look on his face, "What did Shuang Bao tell you?"
"She asked me to find her a palace..."
The queen was a little suspicious, but thinking of how much Emperor Chengxuan doted on the little baby, she repeated to Emperor Chengxuan what Xiao Shuangbao had said to her.
Emperor Cheng Xuan felt helpless when he heard the little baby say that after the selection he would be busy having children and would not be able to take care of her, and that it would be inconvenient for her to live in the Yangxin Palace.
"I haven't told her anything at all!"
But besides feeling helpless, Emperor Chengxuan's expression turned a little cold. "Who on earth is gossiping in front of Shuangbao? By deliberately saying such things, isn't he trying to sow discord between me and Shuangbao?"
Seeing his reaction, the Queen finally believed that Emperor Cheng Xuan was indeed innocent.
"Your Majesty, the person who said this may have bad intentions, but I think what he said is true."
She couldn't help but say.
"Why do you say that? It was the Queen Mother's idea to reopen the selection. She took advantage of my absence from the palace and teamed up with the court officials to trick me. Now the beauties from all over the country are on their way to the capital. I can't go against the Queen Mother's face and stop the selection again, can I? Besides, am I the kind of person who is so tactless as to favor someone else in the Yangxin Palace? Shuangbao will always be my most beloved daughter, and the selection will not affect her status in my heart in the slightest!"
Emperor Chengxuan frowned, his expression full of displeasure, thinking that the Queen was simply doubting his feelings towards the little baby.
"That's not what I meant."
The Queen shook her head.
There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she finally said, "Shuangbao is already four years old this year. She is growing up day by day. She can't always live with the emperor in the Yangxin Palace, right? A year ago, when she first entered the palace, the emperor was worried that the women in the harem would not treat her sincerely, so he was worried about leaving her to be raised by other concubines.
“But with Shuangbao’s abilities now, who in the palace can hurt her?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so bold. No matter how much you love Shuangbao and treat her like your own daughter, in the eyes of others, she has no blood relationship with you. It's okay now that she's young, but when she grows up, it really won't be suitable for her to live with you anymore!"
After the Queen finished speaking, anger immediately appeared between Emperor Chengxuan's brows!
"Shuangbao is listed in the imperial royal genealogy! She is a legitimate royal princess! She is my biological daughter! If anyone dares to disapprove of me, I will exterminate his entire clan!"
He immediately slammed the table and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Upon seeing this, the queen knelt down immediately.
However, after Emperor Chengxuan vented his anger, he thought of something and his brows furrowed. He stared at the queen and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"But there are people in the harem talking about it?"
He asked in a grim tone.
"Your Majesty knows that there are many gossipers in the harem. Even if Your Majesty is wise, you can't stop some dirty things. There are people who harbor filthy thoughts and spread these gossips, and you can't stop them either."
The Queen said in a somewhat helpless tone.
"That's it."
Emperor Cheng Xuan sneered and expressed dissatisfaction with the Queen, "Queen, I handed over the power of the six palaces to you, not for you to rule by doing nothing.
"Someone dared to speak about Shuangbao like this. Doesn't the Queen know what to do?"
There was a hint of ruthlessness in his words.
The queen's body trembled involuntarily.
But when he thought about how Frost Treasure was so pure and beautiful, and yet was being maliciously speculated and talked about by some people with ulterior motives, he immediately felt a surge of cruelty in his heart.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will handle this matter properly and will never allow any similar rumors to spread in the harem again."
The queen knelt here, straightened her body, and said.
"Um."
Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at the Empress with cold eyes, and thinking of what she had said before, he finally said, "There are too many messy things in the harem, but my Frost Treasure is the most unique treasure in the world.
"I have decided to build a palace in the Qianqing Palace into a princess's residence for Shuangbao to live in. I will not keep Shuangbao with other concubines, lest they develop any inappropriate thoughts and disturb Shuangbao's peace. I will specially select several female officials to serve in her palace."
Soon, he made a decision.
When the queen heard this, she was a little shocked.
"Your Majesty, the Palace of Heavenly Purity is where you usually receive ministers from the previous dynasty. If Shuangbao's princess residence is placed there, I'm afraid the ministers in the court will have objections, right?"
Although she also thought that place was great, she was worried that these ministers would say something disrespectful to Xiao Shuangbao.
"Oh, this is my family affair, I want to see who dares to comment on it!"
However, Emperor Chengxuan always kept his word.
As soon as the empress left the Yangxin Palace, his imperial edict was issued.
The next day, the ministers in the court expressed their disapproval of this matter at the morning court session.
In this regard, Emperor Cheng Xuan's approach was very direct and ruthless.
"Since you think my daughter is unfit to live in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, because she is a woman, and the Palace of Heavenly Purity is where you, the court officials, discuss government affairs with me, and a woman living there will affect my country, then I will sentence you to castration and remove you from your official position. You should go home! Or find a place where there are only men and no women! So that no more women will affect your future!"
As soon as he said this, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
The protesting minister came to his senses and wanted to bang his head against the pillar without saying a word!
