Bei Yueli smiled calmly and said, "Mother Queen, I am prepared for this. If this is the case, I will take the divorce letter and travel around the world."
"Just give me more secret guards and bodyguards. If there are thousands or even tens of thousands of them, with Beixia as the backing, Da Gan will naturally be a little wary."
"...Okay, then the Queen Mother will do as you say."
The empress raised her hand and touched her head, feeling inexplicably relieved. This is not bad, right? Although the boss is a bit cruel, how can an emperor survive without being cruel?
Which of those old guys in the court is easy to deal with? If the boss is in power, at least she won’t have to worry about Beixia for the next hundred years.
Not long after, the eldest princess arrived with a cold expression and a bit of anxiety in her heart. Her mother had always disliked her, so why did she suddenly call her over? Was she planning something again?
Bei Wushuang walked towards the main hall and heard laughter from afar. A hint of dimness flashed across his eyes, and he quickly returned to his cold look.
He walked in, knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Wushuang greets the Queen Mother, long live the Queen Mother."
The Empress raised her hand and said, "Stand up. Someone give the eldest princess a seat. Come closer to me. I have something to say to you. Everyone else, please go out and guard the door."
The eunuchs and palace maids hurried out and closed the palace door. Soon, only three people were left in the palace. Bei Wushuang lowered his eyes slightly and waited, feeling a little nervous, not knowing what the empress was going to do.
"Wushuang, I intend to make you the Crown Princess and hand over the throne to you in the future. After Yueli leaves for the Great Work, you will accompany me to court and begin reviewing memorials and managing state affairs."
Bei Wushuang suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief. What on earth was the Queen Mother talking about? Was she crazy or had he misheard? How was this possible?
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mother Queen, I don't understand why you suddenly want to give the throne to me."
Bei Yueli glanced at the empress, touched her nose, and said in a low voice, "Big Sister, this matter has something to do with me. I wanted to marry Da Gan, and I really don't have the talent of an emperor."
"If Beixia is really handed over to me, I'm afraid it won't be long before the country is destroyed. I've thought about this for a long time, and I really can't do anything about those old foxes."
"To be soft-hearted is a taboo for an emperor."
Bei Wushuang looked at her with a complicated expression and whispered, "So, you want to give me the position of Crown Princess. Do you know what will happen to you after you give it to me?"
"There's no way to regret this. What's wrong with being an emperor? Even if you're soft-hearted, it's fine. You have the ministers assigned to you by the Queen Mother to assist you..."
Bei Yueli shook her head in resistance, "No, I don't want to be the empress. Sister, you know, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing. If I really let the ministers assist me, who can guarantee that they won't have ulterior motives?"
"Then I'll just be a puppet emperor. I don't want to do that. Instead of giving those old foxes a chance, why not trust my own sisters? You are my eldest sister."
"She has learned everything since she was young. Unlike me, who is a fool, I don't understand what it means to be a princess, and I don't understand what it means to be an emperor."
Bei Wushuang looked at her admiring eyes and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. This person really was not smart enough to not want the throne that was given to him for free.
Are you crazy to marry a man and go to a completely strange place?
Bei Yueli smiled and said, "Big Sister, I know you are the most suitable to be the emperor. This position should be given to you. It would be useless if you gave it to me. I can't take it. If you are willing."
"Well, let's start early. I'm leaving Beixia soon."
Bei Wushuang was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on her: "Are you sure you really don't want this throne?"
"Well, definitely not. Too much thought and effort isn't for me. I'm not interested in power. I just want to be able to travel freely around the world."
"...Conditions, what conditions do you want?"
Bei Yueli smiled and said, "It would be great if the eldest princess could recognize me as her younger sister in the future. With Bei Xia as her backing, no one from the big family would dare to bully me. That would be great."
Bei Wushuang fell silent again. She had tried so hard to seize power and even sent people to assassinate her, but what was this? The throne was handed to her for nothing. How could she just give up the throne so easily?
The Empress glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "If you both have no objections, I will draft an edict to grant you and Jiang Sheng a marriage as soon as possible, and then I will issue the decree for you to become the Crown Princess."
"I have few children, so I have only one request for you, sir. If they have no intention of rebelling, please spare their lives and don't kill them all."
"Yes, I understand what the Queen Mother means."
When Bei Wushuang returned, she was still a little dazed. The thing she had tried so hard to get was now so easy to obtain. How could it be so unreal?
The assassin appeared in the room and said respectfully, "Master, the assassination attempt on the princess has failed. Do you want to…"
"No, that's not necessary. There's no need to assassinate her again in the future. She will be leaving Beixia soon and won't pose any threat to me in the future. No one is allowed to hurt her at this time."
"What? The princess wants to leave Beixia, how is this possible?"
Bei Yueli waved her hand, her mind was a little confused, and she didn't want to think about it for the time being. Let her calm down first.
"Everyone, go down and let me calm down."
The next day, the empress posted the notice, and everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone knew how much the empress cared about the princess and wanted to hold her in the palm of her hand, so how could she suddenly grant her marriage to a... man from Da Gan.
It's better to marry her off. They must be still asleep and their heads are still dizzy.
Then there was another imperial decree, handing the position of Crown Princess to the eldest princess Bei Wushuang, who would soon start attending court to manage court affairs. Each imperial decree was more explosive than the last, and everyone was paralyzed.
When Bei Wushuang heard the report from her subordinates, she finally felt relieved. The emperor's words were final, so her position was secure.
After the morning court session, the ministers flocked into the Princess's residence. Their intentions were clear, but they were all rejected. The Queen Mother was still strong and healthy, and it would be too difficult for her to have close contact with the ministers at this time.
Isn't that telling the Queen Mother clearly that she can't wait to sit on that position? Even if the Queen Mother values her very much, she will certainly not tolerate her daughter coveting that position.
Bei Wushuang was called into the palace to learn the art of being an emperor. He wished he could be divided into several pieces, so he had no time to deal with those ministers. After being quiet for several days, the ministers gradually calmed down.
There are many rumors among the people. Some say that the empress loves the eldest princess the most, and she has neglected her over the years in order to prevent her from being harmed and to ensure her growth.
They also said that the little princess was a shield, otherwise she wouldn't have been married off so easily...
