Nangong Rui had no choice, because the one in this family wanted him to compete for the throne the most was his grandmother.
Hearing what his grandmother said, Nangong Rui said, "Grandmother, your Majesty has not always been extinct. The news of extinction was only spread four years ago for some reason, and the princess and the crown prince are said to be three or four years old. This means that the two children were born before your Majesty was extinct, so there is nothing wrong with it."
The virtuous prince also nodded, "Yes! Four years ago, your majesty had not yet died out. I think this is true. Your majesty has an heir, so the throne can no longer be passed on to the Zong family. I think Rui'er is right. Our family is still obedient. Just be a good prince!"
The virtuous king was also a person who went with the flow. Although he also wanted his son to be the emperor, the previous emperor had no heir. Now that the emperor had an heir, he naturally did not dare to ask for anything more.
The old concubine looked at her useless son and grandson, feeling very angry and disappointed with them.
"You guys keep doing this, not fighting for anything, and sooner or later you'll be eaten up."
Nangong Rui looked at his angry grandmother and said helplessly, "Grandma, you are so old now. You have lived a rich and stable life. Now that you are old, you should enjoy your old age and don't think about making trouble. If something really happens, you are old and you are not afraid of anything, but we are still young and we still have a long time to live! So please think about us too!"
Although Nangong Rui's words were unpleasant to the ear, they were true.
In fact, the virtuous prince also felt that his mother was too eager to make trouble. For so many years, she had been shouting to compete with the Prince An's Mansion. The one this family wanted to compete for the most was her.
Now that the emperor has an heir, they really do live their lives behind closed doors.
The old concubine was angry at Sun's words.
"Ah Rui? You? Are you trying to piss me off? How can you talk to your grandmother like that?"
The virtuous king also spoke up, "Mother, Rui'er is right. From now on, our family will live our own lives behind closed doors. Forget about that position."
Seeing her son say so, the old concubine became even more angry and began to tremble all over.
"You! You are so unfilial? You all question me so much? Who am I doing this for? I am doing this for you. I am just an old woman. I don't have any power or status. I just want to make life better for you all."
The old concubine was so angry that she couldn't speak smoothly. She pointed at the virtuous prince and Nangong Rui, looking disappointed and hurt.
After all, she was his mother, and seeing that she was furious, the virtuous king tried to comfort her.
Nangong Rui watched indifferently. He felt that the old concubine seemed to have some obsession and was always thinking about that position. Nangong Rui didn't understand, but it didn't matter now. Both his father and mother had given up. The old concubine could do nothing.
Princess Xian asked her son, "Rui'er, have you asked about the queen's background?"
Speaking of this, Nangong Rui was full of doubts. The queen described in the news sounded a lot like Qingli, but he thought that the queen had a daughter, so it shouldn't be Qingli.
After all, Qingli had always been alone, and he had never seen her have any children.
Nangong Rui said: "I haven't asked about this yet. If mother is curious, I believe we will meet soon."
Princess Xian nodded and said, "I thought before that His Majesty was interested in the youngest daughter of the Su family, but I didn't expect that he would suddenly become the queen now."
Nangong Rui thought about it and he hadn't seen Qingli for a long time. He had thought before that the emperor liked Qingli, and now he was also very curious about the queen and the child.
After Nangong Rui said something to the virtuous king and the princess, he went out.
Prepare to find out.
Compared to the indifference and easy acceptance of Prince Xian's Mansion, Nangong Rong and Nangong Mo in Prince An's Mansion were very reluctant to accept it and chose not to believe it.
Nangong Rong immediately went out and prepared to go into the palace.
Nangong Mo closed the door and thought alone, trying to figure out what was going on. There was no Qingli in his previous life, let alone the Queen Mother. These things suddenly appeared in this life, which made Nangong Mo very confused. He didn't know what had happened.
As for the Su family, Father Su paid the most attention to the news in the palace, so he naturally knew the news about this moving soul.
For Su's father, the emperor having an heir was like the sky falling.
His dream of ruling the country was shattered. His daughter, whom he had carefully nurtured and who was predicted by Master Li to be born with a phoenix destiny, could not become the queen. This made Father Su so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He didn't believe it, so he immediately went to find an official he was familiar with and went to the Ministry of Rites.
The entire Ministry of Rites is busy today with the Emperor's appointment of the Empress, as well as the ceremony of enthroning the Dowager.
Therefore, it is not difficult to know whether the news is true or false.
Father Su wanted to question all the officials in the Ministry of Rites, but no one asked who the queen was or where the princess came from. They knew nothing about the queen's background and the princess's mother. They only knew to obey the emperor's orders and speed up the preparations for the canonization ceremony and everything.
Father Su was devastated and gained nothing. He returned home with a sad face.
When Su's mother learned that all this was true, she felt as if the sky had fallen. She even imagined how those people would laugh at her in the future.
For the position of empress and for the prophecy of being born a phoenix, her daughter of the Su family was kept alive until such an old age. As a result, now that the emperor who had no heirs had an heir and had appointed an empress, everything had become a bubble.
The atmosphere in the entire Su family became gloomy and lifeless.
