Chapter 704 Candidates for the Future Queen

Zhao Shudan said: "Mother, filial piety is not just shown in this kind of thing."

"Why not? Look at Yuan Jing, now he has a son and two daughters." The Empress Dowager said angrily, "How old are you? Don't you have to wait for Ai's family to be buried before you can feel at ease?"

Zhao Shu was never moved by the empress dowager's words, but said calmly: "If the queen mother doesn't like my son, I can ask the emperor for orders to go back to Luzhou."

"You child..." The Empress Dowager really had nothing to do with him.

The horse does not drink water and forcefully presses its head. There are some things that cannot be forced.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Grandmother, don't always force the little emperor uncle. You also know the temperament of the little emperor uncle. Unless he is willing, no one can force him to marry a wife."

"But what kind of woman can catch his eyes?" The Empress Dowager was a little anxious, "It's been several years, when he comes back, Ai's family is busy looking around, choosing those noble girls with good looks Yes, there are some with good family backgrounds, and some with talents. But he just doesn’t like any of them! Is it true that he will never marry a wife for the rest of his life?”

Zhao Shu said: "Mother, there is still a long life ahead."

"You still have a long time, but Ai's family is not long!"

"Queen, you already have the emperor, Yan'er and the two little princesses. You have all the family happiness, so why make things difficult for your minister?" Zhao Shu raised his finger to the bird cage and said, "This bird is not bad. The queen mother will take good care of her. My son will retire."

The words are not speculative, Zhao Shu doesn't want to stay here and talk anymore.

"Wait a minute," the Empress Dowager called him, with a helpless expression, "The Ai family doesn't want to talk about you today, so you don't need to rush away. There is an important matter here, and the Ai family is discussing with Yuan Jing. Since you are here, Just listen to it too."

Zhao Shu stopped in his tracks, "I don't know what the empress mother said?"

"It's about the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager said, "The 16th of next month is the date for the enthronement ceremony. The Bureau of Clothes has come to see Ai's family several times to measure the size of the phoenix coronet and Xiapei. "

Zhao Shu and Zhao Yuanjing looked at each other.

Zhao Shu said: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with Erchen."

The Empress Dowager frowned: "Why has nothing to do with you? You are His Highness King Qin of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This matter of establishing a queen is not only a family matter, but also a state matter. The Ai family is about to ask the aunt of the Siyi Bureau to go to the Chengming Palace to measure the size, but Yuan Jing didn't agree. Tell me anyway."

Zhao Shu thought for a while and said, "I think there is nothing to discuss about this matter. Both the court and the people at home and abroad have already agreed that Jin Niangniang is the candidate for the future empress."

Zhao Yuanjing glanced at him, and said unhurriedly: "I haven't spoken yet."

"If the emperor has other decisions, he should have decided earlier." Zhao Shu said.

"That's right." The Empress Dowager said, "Now the six vassals outside have all returned to the capital. Is there anyone who refuses to agree with Yuan Jing's decision?"

Zhao Yuanjing and Zhao Shu have been planning to withdraw the feudal clan, the six feudal kings refused to withdraw the feudal clan, and the two sides have been playing games.

The Queen's position has also been pending for a long time.

Recently Zhao Shu has been busy with this important matter.

He is sure that he has convinced most of the vassals.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Fu Wang seems to have some objections."

"Prince Fu..." The Empress Dowager's expression turned cold immediately, "What happened to the old Concubine Rong, what face does the Fu Palace have to gain a foothold among the feudal lords? The Ai family will immediately announce that Concubine Rong will enter the palace."
