Chapter 377 Confessing the King
Chapter 377 Confessing the King
The Wang family is a prominent family, and the servants in the house are all inherited from the family.
Without the master's permission, the news will never be leaked.
But this news still reached Cheng Fengqi's ears, and Cheng Fengqi also heard that Lord Wang asked his close followers to personally escort Wang Yushi to the carriage to the Hui people's land.
It is imperative that Wang Yushi be sent far away.
As for Xie Yao, it was mentioned by Wang Yushu when he entered the palace to pay his respects.
Perhaps because of the changes in the Wang family's situation, Wang Yushu's treatment seemed to be much better than before, and his clothes and jewelry were new and exquisite.
Xie Yao also understood that Wang Yushu would say these things to her probably because of the instructions from the elders in the family. After all, Wang Yushu is knowledgeable and is not the kind of girl who likes to talk about others behind their backs.
"Is everything going well at home these days?" Wang Yushu and Zhao Hao were engaged, and the two young people liked each other. Xie Yao naturally loved Wang Yushu too.
It's like looking at my sister.
Wang Yushu replied obediently, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern. Yushu is doing well in the palace."
She didn't lie at all.
In the past, when the stepmother was in power in the family, they had no chance of having an easy life as long as Wang Yushi was around.
But now that her aunt has taken over, she is treated better than before.
Of course, Wang Yushu was also very clear that a big part of the reason for this was because she was engaged to Zhao Hao.
"That's good." Xie Yao nodded.
Zhu Qing on the side handed over a token as she instructed.
Xie Yao said, "This is a token that allows you to enter and leave the palace. If anything happens, just send a message to the palace."
Wang Yushu was flattered and quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. Your humble servant..."
"Since you know it's a kindness, why don't you accept it?" Xie Yao smiled.
Wang Yushu hesitated for a moment, then took it with both hands and said respectfully, "Thank you, Queen, for your gift."
This was the Queen's kindness, but Wang Yushu knew very well that she would not use it unless it was an extremely urgent matter.
It is one thing for the queen to love him, but she also needs to know her limits.
Xie Yao chatted with Wang Yushu for a few more words. Outside the door, Yuyan came into the hall with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Wang, Master Zhao is outside requesting to see you."
Zhao Hao.
Xie Yao looked towards Wang Yushu, only to see that the little girl had lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, with a faint blush on the tips of her ears.
Even though Wang Yushu is usually calm and composed, he can't help but feel shy when he meets his sweetheart.
"I'm afraid Lord Xiao Zhao is not here to look for me." Xie Yao said slowly.
Wang Yushu's face turned even redder.
Xie Yao said, "Yushu, I won't keep you here any longer."
Wang Yushu stood up and left with a red face.
As soon as she left Fengyi Palace, she saw Zhao Hao standing outside the palace. When Zhao Hao saw her, his eyes lit up and he stared at her intently.
"Wang, Miss Wang, what a coincidence."
Zhao Hao's neck was also red.
Wang Yushu said in a gentle voice, "Lord Zhao, long time no see."
Yuyan smiled and said, "Master Xiao Zhao, you have come all this way in vain. The Queen is not in a position to see you right now."
Zhao Hao let out a long sigh and said, "Then I will not bother your Majesty any more. I will come to pay my respects another day."
After saying this, his eyes fell on Wang Yushu again, and he mustered up the courage to say, "Miss Wang, then... let me take you out of the palace."
Wang Yushu looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head. "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Zhao."
Xie Yao is certainly not busy.
At this moment, she was looking at the backs of the two young people who were keeping a certain distance. Although they were keeping a distance, they still looked particularly beautiful.
"Your Majesty," Yuyan's voice rang out quickly. "Someone has come from the Yangxin Palace to say that His Majesty wants you to come over."
Xie Yao nodded.
She was originally going to go to the Yangxin Palace, but since Wang Yushu asked for a meeting, she met him in the Fengyi Palace.
As soon as Xie Yao arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Xiao Ji's voice rang out, "Yaoyao, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already drafted a title for you. Come and take a look."
Xie Yao was helped by Xiao Ji to sit on the chair behind the dragon table.
I saw that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had written several words on red paper, and the titles of the three princes were written separately.
Finally, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji decided on the title.
The third prince, Xiao An, is the Prince of Ding.
The fourth prince is Xiao Ming, Prince Yong.
The fifth prince Xiao Ze, King Chen.
However, according to Xiao Ji's wishes, the imperial decree to enthronize the third prince Xiao An was temporarily shelved.
Except for the third prince Xiao An who has a residence outside the palace, the fourth prince is still living in the palace due to illness and the fifth prince is still living in the palace due to his young age.
Therefore, it is necessary to grant the two princes a royal palace.
Just as I was thinking about this, Li Dajian came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has arrived."
"Please invite Concubine Shu in." Xiao Ji and Xie Yao both showed great respect to their aunt.
Although Concubine Shu was a concubine, she was actually still very young. However, she dressed very simply, in white clothes, and wore almost no jewelry.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji both knew that Concubine Shu was observing mourning for her deceased husband.
But it was not for the late emperor, but for the late empress.
Since the death of the late emperor, Concubine Shu rarely leaves the palace. She stays in the palace with the fifth prince Xiao Ze all day long and has a very low sense of presence.
This was the first time she had gone out in months.
"aunt."
As soon as Xie Yao spoke, Concubine Shu's eyes softened a lot, "Your Majesty and the Queen are looking for me?"
Xiao Ji nodded and spoke naturally, "That's right, aunt. I asked you to come here today to confer the title of king on the Fifth Emperor."
"Confer the title of king?" Concubine Shu's voice sounded a little surprised. Logically speaking, the title of king should be given after the prince reaches adulthood.
Like the late emperor, there are still few cases where the prince has reached adulthood but has not yet been crowned king.
But Concubine Shu, Xiao Ji and Xie Yao all knew that the late emperor had delayed conferring the title of king because he was dissatisfied with Xiao Ji's attitude and gave other princes hope of vying for the throne.
And it is expressed very clearly.
"Now that I have ascended the throne, the third and fourth brothers should be crowned kings. Yaoyao and I are thinking of crowning Aze king as well."
"Then Auntie won't have to stay secluded in the palace forever. She can leave the palace and live with Aze in the palace. I think it will be more comfortable."
These days, Concubine Shu has been thinking about the late queen.
Only Xiao Ze can make her silent heart lively again.
Now, after hearing what Xiao Ji and Xie Yao said, she was really moved.
Aze is young but filial. She has been accompanying Aze in the palace for the past few years. In a few years, she may be able to leave the palace and travel around to see the world...
Xiao Ji added, "But this is just Yaoyao and I's suggestion. Everything will be up to Auntie."
"Your Majesty and the Queen's kindness, I appreciate it." Concubine Shu said, "On behalf of Aze, I thank Your Majesty and the Queen again."
Concubine Shu agreed.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji both breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the paper with the word "Chen" written on it towards Concubine Shu.
"The title has been decided on this word."
This is a good word, and Concubine Shu naturally has no objection.
The next morning.
Xiao Ji announced this matter at the morning court.
This was a reasonable thing, and the court officials naturally had no objections. However, they only listened to the stories of the Fourth and Fifth Princes. Some court officials were even skeptical...
Is your Majesty wrong?
The fifth prince is only seven years old, it’s a bit early for him to be crowned king. Shouldn’t the third prince be crowned king?
Could it be that His Majesty cannot tolerate the Third Prince?
