Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 381 Turmoil

Jiaofang Hall.

"Mother, there has been a stir in the outer court over the request to establish a crown prince. Is this related to father?"

Queen Shen Ningyue sat at the top, her tone sounding slightly questioning.

"Seventeenth Lady, why do you have to do this? Isn't your father doing this for your own good? Next year, the Ninth Prince will reach the age set by His Majesty for marriage. Are you really going to let him be kicked out of the palace like the other bastards?"

Xiao Yanran frowned and drank the tea at hand. She lowered her voice and tried to suppress her anger.

"You are the Empress, the Queen Mother of Dayong. You are completely dependent on His Majesty and think about His Majesty. Of course, this is fine, but can you think more about His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and make some plans?"

"You don't understand at all."

Shen Ningyue widened her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked at her mother aggrievedly.

She had always thought about her eldest son, cared about him, and made plans for him.

Her eldest son Qin Mingxuan.

Everyone inside and outside the palace believed that the Ninth Prince had a kind heart, was gentle as jade, was benevolent and generous, and had the qualities of a benevolent monarch. In addition to his son's nature, it was also the result of her ten years of consistent advocacy and subtle influence on her son.

Your Majesty actually knows what she has done.

She also smiled and said that she had an idea, and His Majesty was always so gentle.

Your Majesty is magnanimous to the concubines in the harem, but has always been high-handed in the court and government affairs.

In the long run, the court officials will definitely not prefer a second His Majesty as their successor, but will instead hope for a "benevolent" monarch. After all, the world is now peaceful and prosperous, and all it needs is a monarch who does not make trouble and maintains the status quo to preserve the beautiful country that His Majesty has decorated.

With the support of this prosperous era created by Your Majesty, the world, the court officials and the people do not need a next monarch who is troublesome but may not be able to achieve the same results as Your Majesty.

The smarter they are, the more they will trouble themselves, to the point that they may even harbor ambitions to surpass Your Majesty, which may only make the situation worse.

Shen Ningyue felt very aggrieved that her mother didn't understand her plans and thoughts, but still blamed her like this.

Xiao Yanran stood up and sat down again.

"Mom is a woman from a deep house. If she doesn't understand, does your father not understand too?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is the legitimate son. Is he going to give up the throne and the heir apparent to the illegitimate son born to Imperial Concubine Yi?"

Xiao Yanran said angrily, gritting her teeth.

"Where did you hear this rumor? How can the Seventh Prince be the heir to the throne?"

Shen Ningyue sighed helplessly.

"Your father and your mother were neither blind nor deaf.

Look at you, you are the Empress of the Central Palace, the head of the harem, with three sons and two daughters, and you have never been treated coldly by His Majesty. How come you have retreated to this point, almost to the corner, and you are still unaware of it. "

Xiao Yanran poked her daughter Shen Ningyue's shoulder with a look of disappointment.

"pain."

Shen Ningyue looked at her mother Xiao Yanran pitifully.

"How old are you? You are still so spoiled. It seems that His Majesty really treats you well."

Xiao Yanran put down her hand and sneered.

"You are my biological mother. I can't help but act like a spoiled child when I see you. Even if I am seventy or eighty years old, I will still act like a spoiled child to you."

Shen Ningyue hugged Xiao Yanran's arm and said with a smile.

"Forget it. I am just a woman and I listen to your father. No matter how much you tell me, it is useless. Mingyue left the palace under the pretext of visiting the princess's mansion. You know that, right?"

"I was the one who approved her to leave the palace. What's wrong?"

Shen Ningyue raised her eyes, and there was obvious confusion in Ruifeng's eyes.

"Mingyue went to find your father. Don't worry. Your father did not ask anyone to appoint the Ninth Prince as the Crown Prince. As for other things, I don't know." Xiao Yanran said softly.

"Why did Mingyue go to see Dad? Forget it. Mingyue went to visit father on my behalf."

Shen Ningyue bit her lips lightly and fell into deep thought.
