Mu Sili sighed. She didn't expect that she would have to do the job of a matchmaker. If she had known it would be so troublesome, she would not have agreed to the Queen's request.
"I have no experience in this kind of thing, but don't worry, I have already mentioned it to the Emperor. Your marriage will be decided by the Emperor, and the Niuhulu family has no right to be in charge of your marriage.
If you have someone you like, you can tell me. If the other person is good enough, I will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, your Majesty. I will remember this."
After the queen's funeral, Tong Guowei fulfilled his promise and proposed to establish a crown prince in the court.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. The Second Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress and is worthy of the position of Crown Prince. Please appoint a Crown Prince to strengthen the foundation of the country."
Soetu did not expect that Tong Guowei would bring up this matter. He thought that it would take some time before someone would bring up this matter. However, Tong Guowei was right. Yinreng was the legitimate son of the Empress Yuan and should have become the crown prince.
Even if Yinzhen, born to Mu Sili, became the crown prince, it would be fine. After all, Mu Sili was his daughter listed in the family tree, and Yinzhen was also the eldest son of the Hesheli clan. Any of the brothers could become the crown prince.
However, Yinreng was the legitimate son, so if the crown prince was to be appointed, he should be the first choice.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is indeed the foundation of the country. He will be appointed sooner or later. It is better to choose the Crown Prince now to avoid any trouble later."
"I second this motion."
"So, your beloved ministers, your preferred choice for crown prince is Second Prince Yinreng? Are there no other options?"
Kangxi originally thought that Yinzhi was the eldest son, and after Tong Guowei proposed to establish a crown prince, someone would use this as a reason to propose to make him the crown prince. Unexpectedly, no one did so.
"Your Majesty, although the eldest prince is the eldest son, if there is a legitimate son, we still think it is more appropriate to make him the crown prince."
"Indeed, the eldest prince has devoted himself to martial arts. I believe he will shine on the battlefield, but the court has ultimately suppressed his brilliance."
Mingzhu said this. In his opinion, Yinzhi was indeed not suitable for the position of crown prince. If he had the ability, would he watch Yinreng become the crown prince? Impossible.
Since Mingzhu said so, Kangxi naturally would not let himself be unhappy, so after confirming it again and again, he made Yinreng the crown prince.
When Mu Sili heard the news, she happily hugged Yinreng in her arms and hugged him, making Yinreng very helpless.
"Baocheng is the crown prince now. You must protect mother and brother from now on, okay? Whether mother can live comfortably in the future depends on you."
What could Yinreng say? This was his mother, could he disobey her? But he was still young. Even if he really wanted to protect them, he had to wait until he grew up. Right now, he just wanted to lie down.
Two years later, because Kangxi had not yet appointed a queen, ministers led by Soetu began to request him to do so.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot remain without a queen forever. Please appoint a queen, otherwise outsiders will think that no one in such a great country is qualified to sit on the throne of queen."
"The longer the position of Empress remains vacant, the more rumors will spread among the people. Your Majesty, please be responsible to the people and yourself and appoint a candidate for Empress. This will avoid a lot of trouble."
"Since you all think the queen should be established, who do you think is the most suitable to be the queen?"
Is this even a question? Of course it's Mu Sili. She's the Imperial Concubine, the Prince's adoptive mother, and the one Kangxi deeply loves. The position of Empress must be hers. No one else is qualified to be Empress.
The voices of seconding the motion rang out one after another, and Kangxi was satisfied. What he wanted was for them to take the initiative to propose that Mu Sili be made the queen, otherwise some people would think that she was a witch concubine and that would be detrimental to her.
Since he loves her, he must make plans for her reputation, even if it means waiting a few more days. After all, what he wants is their willingness.
"I originally didn't want to appoint a queen. After all, I've already lost two queens. I was worried that I would be unlucky in marriage, so I didn't appoint a queen.
I didn't expect you would bring up this matter today. Since you all said so, I will agree to your request and make Concubine Chen the queen.
But you must understand that once the Queen is appointed, there is no room for change, and I only intend to appoint one more Queen. Concubine Chen will be my last Queen. No matter what happens in the future, she will always be my Queen."
"Your Majesty, your servants understand your intentions. In the future, Noble Consort Chen will be the Empress. We will respect and love her and will never betray your Majesty's trust."
In Chengqian Palace, not long after Mu Sili woke up, Liang Jiugong came with the imperial edict to confer the title of empress. Mu Sili was a little confused. She thought it was an edict to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort. She didn't expect that Kangxi really conferred her the title of empress.
"Didn't the Emperor say before that he was unlucky with his wife and would not appoint another empress in the future? Why did he suddenly appoint me as empress?"
"Your Majesty, please do not wrongly accuse the Emperor. He is not unlucky with his wives. The rumor that he is unlucky with his wives was spread by the Emperor himself in order to prevent others from asking him to take a queen.
But you are different. You are the only choice for the queen in the emperor's heart. For the emperor, if you are not the queen, he will be unlucky in marriage.
If the ministers nominate you as the queen, the emperor will naturally go along with it and fulfill their wish. After all, you are the queen they nominated. Considering their loyalty, of course the emperor will fulfill their wish.
You have no idea how happy the Emperor is. Today's enthronement of the Queen was totally unexpected. The Emperor previously revealed to me that he planned to enthronize you as Queen in two years.
I'm not saying this, but Lord Soetu is really capable. The Emperor was still thinking about appointing a queen, but he brought it up directly during the court session.
You didn't know what happened because you were not in the hall, but I saw it all clearly. The Emperor was so excited that he had to pinch himself to stay calm.
I have served the emperor for many years, but this is the first time I see him so happy. Of course, I am very happy too.
After so many years of anticipation, you have finally become the Emperor. Empress Niuhulu was never able to become Empress because the Emperor was worried that you would be promoted too quickly and people would be jealous of you. Otherwise, you would have been Empress by then."
Mu Sili blushed at Liang Jiugong's words. How could she not know that Kangxi couldn't wait to make her the queen?
She had thought that Imperial Noble Consort was her ultimate goal, and had planned to become the Holy Mother Empress Dowager only after Yin ascended the throne. She had not expected that she would evolve into the Queen overnight.
When Yinreng ascends the throne one day, she will not only be the mother of the Empress Dowager, but also the Holy Mother of the Empress Dowager. She will have both the titles of Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager. It is exciting just to think about it.
The most crucial point is that she was found to be pregnant again. If Kangxi knew about this, he would definitely be overjoyed.
There is also Nianhulu. Her status is there, and it is inevitable that she will become the queen. She does not feel wronged. On the contrary, it is because of her support in the front that she can rest assured in the back. She does not complain.
