Chapter 616: Your Majesty, please wish you good luck!
Xie Shang said, "Xian'er and You'er, stop bothering your great-grandmother. She came from a long way away. Let her go back to the palace to rest, okay?"
"Okay." The two said in unison, "We respectfully send Great Grandmother back to the palace."
Xie Shang added: "Royal Concubine, why don't you go and arrange a palace for the Grand Empress Dowager? The Grand Empress Dowager likes quietness and also likes to worship Buddha. It must be arranged according to her preferences."
Gao Qingtong quickly said, "Yes."
The Empress Dowager looked at her two great-grandsons. Who taught them? Was it their mother?
Thinking of Jiang's powerful appearance, disgust appeared in her eyes. The queen that Xie Shang was going to marry was very ambitious. Emperor Hui Jing actually issued a decree to never depose the queen. Was he being coerced or deceived?
The current emperor seems to care too much about her. It is a taboo in the royal family for the emperor to be sentimental, and no emperor who is sentimental will have a good ending.
After seeing off the Grand Empress Dowager, Xie Shang took the two children directly to Chenxi Palace. He knew that the Grand Empress Dowager would not leave without seeing Xie Minmin and Xie Yun.
He merely wrote a letter to the northwest to tell King Kang what shameful things Xie Minmin and Xie Yun had done, but he did not issue an edict for King Kang to come to Beijing, so King Kang did not dare to go to Beijing easily.
Since the Empress Dowager had quietly gone to the northwest, she would definitely come back to take care of the life and death of her grandchildren when she knew the news.
Xie Shang recalled that when he was young, he secretly went to the Hengyang Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. At that time, he thought that since he could not get the favor of his father, he would go to get the favor of his grandmother, but he was wrong.
When the Empress Dowager knew that his father was the emperor, she directly drove him out of the Hengyang Palace. At that time, he had only one idea: since everyone disliked him, he wanted to be the helmsman of the Zhou Dynasty, and no one could drive him out.
In the heart of the Empress Dowager, Prince Kang’s child was her beloved grandson. She didn’t like the emperor’s father, and she didn’t like his children either.
At that time, he had no idea why the Empress Dowager hated his father. He thought there could not be such great hatred between mother and son.
Now seeing the Empress Dowager running around for Prince Kang's child, he just found it ridiculous.
He wanted to let the Empress Dowager and Prince Kang know that the Xie family's empire had not declined under his father's hands, and that they were wrong.
All the servants of Chenxi Palace were waiting at the door. When Nanny Wang found out that the Queen had returned to Jiang Mansion, her eyes were swollen from crying.
Xie Shang asked: "Where is Yuan'er?"
Nanny Wang said, "It was cold outside so I didn't dare to bring him out. He is in the Queen's main bedroom. Since the Queen left the harem, the eldest prince and the eldest princess insisted on living in the main bedroom, so I brought the fourth prince to live in the main bedroom as well. Now that the Queen has returned, I have someone clean up the room."
"No need. The Queen will move directly to Kunning Palace after she returns to the palace. Nanny Wang, please pack up and go out of the palace to welcome the Queen back!"
Nanny Wang's eyes were red. "As the queen, you should live in Kunning Palace. Living in Chenxi Palace all the time will make people gossip. The emperor should have welcomed the queen there long ago. I have been ready for her to return to the palace."
"Listen to the Ministry of Rites' arrangements. Set an auspicious date before the New Year. I want to hold a wedding ceremony with the Queen again, which will also be a ceremony to crown her as the Queen."
Nanny Wang said, "You're in such a hurry before the New Year. The New Year is just a few days away and the weather is still so cold." Can't you wait until it's warmer after the New Year?
"I don't want to wait any longer. She has now completely forgotten that she and I were married. I want to remarry her as my queen. Ruan Ruan may not be able to adapt to many things after she comes back. She needs Nanny Wang to teach her more."
Nanny Wang paused again and said, "We started preparing the dress for Her Majesty's coronation ceremony a year ago. The Kunning Palace has also been renovated, so we have everything we need. As long as Her Majesty comes back, we can prepare it at any time." The dress for the coronation ceremony is more magnificent and noble than the bride's wedding dress.
Xie Shang frowned and said to Nanny Wang, "She is very concerned about the concubines in my harem now. Nanny, please think of a solution for me."
Nanny Wang complained in her heart that the emperor had always accepted everyone who came to him.
She sighed, men always say one thing and do another behind the back, and the emperor is no exception. The empress never cared about how many women the emperor had, but the emperor deliberately left the empress alone and wanted to torture her. He tortured the empress and made her run away. Now he asks me to find a solution, but I have no choice. I hope the emperor will wish you good luck!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Shang continued, "If I want to disband the harem, I'm afraid it's not realistic. The ministers will not agree. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, I naturally have to consider the stability of the Great Zhou. As long as Ruan Ruan can enter the palace safely, I can set up a harem."
After hearing this, Nanny Wang was terrified and said quickly, "I am just a woman and don't understand any big principles, but I also know the importance of the emperor's harem. If you set up a fake harem, you are afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the concubines, or even cause disasters." She didn't dare to say this because it would affect the court.
But Nanny Wang didn't want to wrong the Queen.
Women's jealousy is immeasurable. As long as there are women in the harem, there will be fighting. The ladies are all friendly on the surface, but life in the deep palace is hard! No one dares to say what will happen in the future. Even if the emperor is now deeply in love and willing to set up a harem for the queen, in the future, when the queen is older, there will be more temptations to seduce the emperor. Who can say for sure what will happen? The so-called fictitious harem is all false.
The emperor came to discuss things with a servant like her, probably because he trusted her.
I only heard Nanny Wang say, "In fact, the queen is the most sensible. Under her management, everyone in the harem behaves well. The queen is kind-hearted. No matter how the ladies play tricks, she is unwilling to embarrass them. I think the key lies in the emperor's attitude. Everything depends on what the emperor does to keep the queen's heart."
Xie Shang fell into deep thought.
Nanny Wang reminded, "Princess Zhang Jing and Concubine Pan are about to give birth, and the due date is only a few days away."
After hearing this, Xie Shang felt overwhelmed. He had long forgotten about this matter. Why did he favor them in the first place? At that time, he was angry with Jiang Fenghua. She thought that she only loved his position as queen. He even kept delaying the ceremony of crowning her.
Seeing that he looked very unhappy, Nanny Wang made an excuse, "I will go make something for His Majesty to eat. Your Majesty, please take a rest first."
At this time, Xie Zixuan and Xie Hongyou were playing with Xie Hongyuan. They even found various portraits of Jiang Fenghua and hung them in the house. They would tell him every day that the woman in the painting was their mother.
Xie Hongyuan was still young and could not walk or talk, but he loved to laugh when his brothers and sisters teased him, and he would occasionally say the words "Mother Queen" when looking at the portrait.
Nanny Wang, Lian Ye, Hong Xiu and others took good care of them. Although the harem is now managed by Concubine Gao, they would not let Concubine Gao have much contact with the princes and princesses.
The human heart is unpredictable, so they dare not take any risks.
Xie Shang picked up his youngest son and said, "I am your father, call me father."
Xie Hongyuan stared at him coldly. He had never learned to call his father the emperor, and Xie Zixuan and Xie Hongyou had also forgotten to teach him.
The youngest son was the emperor star calculated by Master Wu Zi, who could change the fate of the Great Zhou Kingdom's destruction. He wanted to see what his youngest son was capable of.
Next, Xie Hongyuan urinated all over his father.
