The Duke of Maoguo’s Mansion is extremely low-key in Beijing, while the lady Sun’s circle of noble ladies is also not high-key.

The late emperor wanted to make Sun Xiaozi the queen, but he valued not Sun Xiaozi himself, but Sun Xiaozi's family background.

Meng Huaijin was the prince who suddenly recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown. There was no one in the Gu family. The nobles in the capital were all married to each other. The previous dynasty and the harem were closely related. The powerful families who had a reputation in front of the late emperor had already been standing in the battle for the throne. Only the Duke of Maoguo's mansion had no contact with other powerful people. He insisted that they were standing with the queen.

The purpose of referring Sun Xiaozi to Meng Huaijin as the empress is to bind Duke Mao’s Mansion and Meng Huaijin, so that Duke Mao’s Mansion can fully support Meng Huaijin as the throne.

The fact that Cheng Qing's second sister married Sun Xu was not considered by the late emperor at all.

First of all, Cheng Qing's second sister was not married to the Prince of Maoguo, and she could not become the hostess of Maoguo Duke's Mansion. No matter how strong the pillow was blown, it could not affect the position of Maoguo Duke's Mansion.

Secondly, before his death, the late emperor told Luo Jun to get rid of Cheng Qing. When Meng Huaijin finished the wedding of Xiao, Cheng Qing was no longer alive, and it would not affect Sun Xiaozi as the queen.

The late emperor arranged the beginning, but did not expect the process, so naturally he could not predict the ending.

Because Meng Huaijin has a clear attitude and wants to protect Cheng Qing, Luo Jun has not yet killed Cheng Qing!

Moreover, Meng Huaijin is not the kind of personality that he must follow the decree of the late emperor.

The Empress Dowager was quite satisfied when she met Mrs. Sun.

At first glance, Mrs. Sun was not very outstanding, but everything was on the passing line. She was not as beautiful as Cheng Rong, but she was very attractive.

The Queen Mother asked every question Sun Xiaozi answered seriously, and she spoke without hesitation. She was not a person who followed the crowd and was quite independent.

"He's a honest child."

The Queen Mother asked someone to take Sun Xiaozi to the Imperial Garden, and arranged for someone to invite Meng Huaijin.

Unmarried men and women all meet each other in such a "study encounter".

Unexpectedly, Meng Huaijin did not cooperate with the "accidental encounter" arranged by the empress dowager and found that there was a stranger in the imperial garden. Longyan immediately changed the path.

The palace maid sent by the Empress Dowager to serve the Empress Dowager Sun looked at each other. The Empress Dowager Sun was very calm. If the Empress Dowager asked her to appreciate the flowers, she would give them a good gift!

As for the empress dowager's subtext, Mrs. Sun pretended not to understand.

The new emperor is indeed handsome and not as handsome as an ordinary person, but also has both civil and military skills, which is enough for women in the boudoir to admire him.

But so what?

Who doesn’t know that the entire capital is a love saint and a love trance.

The story of the Xinhuang and the county lord of Rouping has long been adapted into a storybook and circulated in the hands of a woman in the boudoir of the capital. At that time, the Xinhuang had not yet recognized his ancestors... Whoever wanted to destroy this sad and beautiful legendary love should be beaten into a dog's head!

Anyway, Miss Sun doesn't want to destroy it.

She doesn't want to be a queen either.

What's the best thing to be a queen?

To be very disrespectful, if the Empress Dowager now does not marry the late emperor, the Gu family may be like the Duke of Mao’s Mansion, and there is no need to be more outstanding, at least the whole family will be alive!

...

The Empress Dowager was recovering from her injuries and had not moved to the palace. She is still living in Kunning Palace.

After Meng Huaijin was established, the Empress Dowager would free up Kunning Palace and give it to Meng Huaijin's empress to live there.

The Xian Taifu advised the Empress Dowager not to be too anxious. After the filial piety period is released, all kinds of gifts will be completed. It will be more than a year later.

"At that time, you can also walk around. Wouldn't it be great to repair Kunning Palace yourself?"

"It's good, it's too slow."

It will take more than a year to establish a queen. After the wedding, the queen will take time to get pregnant. She will have children. It will be at least two or three years later, so the queen is worried.

The two were discussing eagerly, and Meng Huaijin arrived.

I heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to move the palace, but Meng Huaijin said it was not necessary.

"You are used to living in Kunning Palace. You are familiar with every tree and every tree here. It is inconvenient for you to move to the palace."

The Empress Dowager exclaimed him: "Kunning Palace is where the central palace is. What does the Ai family have to say? Who did you see when you come from the Imperial Garden?"

"There will be no central palace."

"Miss Sun's beautiful wife is so smart, but...what did you say?!"

"You heard it right, I said there would be no queen of the Central Palace."

Concubine Xian was stunned.

Which emperor did not establish the queen?

The Empress Dowager's face had already sunk, "A Tong, go and ask the kitchen to cook Wan bird's nest porridge for Ai's family."

The Concubine Xian knew that the Empress Dowager had something to say to Meng Huaijin in private, and responded and got up and left.

"You don't want to make Sun the queen, you want to leave the queen to Cheng... It's not impossible. Let her pretend to die and record it in the name of the second wife of the Cheng family. You choose the road, you take the risk yourself. No matter how you discuss with the Ai family, the Ai family only needs to see the emperor's grandson."

Meng Huaijin lowered his eyelids.

Cheng Qing was checking whether Cheng Rong's death was related to the empress dowager, but the empress dowager was thinking about letting Cheng Qing escape to death and changing his identity to enter the palace to be the empress.

Meng Huaijin found it funny: "I will not make Sun clan, nor will I make others the queen. You want the emperor grandson. I have something to discuss with you. I want to adopt a grandson for Prince Yuzhang."

Adopt a grandson for Prince Yuzhang?

This is a good thing!

It can not only appease the old subordinates of Prince Yuzhang, but also cut off some people's ambitions. In the future, someone will uprising under the banner of Prince Yuzhang's descendants, and the court can justify the attack.

But why did Huai Jin put the Empress Dowager together with the adoptive grandson of Prince Yuzhang?

Could it be—

"You want to adopt it, too?"

The Empress Dowager leaned forward: "Are you crazy? If you finally obtained the throne, you will adopt it from the royal family again... No, the Ai family will not agree!"

The descendants born to Meng Huaijin are the bloodline of the Gu family.

The Empress Dowager wanted the Gu family's blood to occupy the Xiao family's territory, and what she wanted was inheritance from generation to generation, rather than just Meng Huaijin's generation, and returned the throne to Xiao family!

"You don't have to be so excited. I will seriously consider the adoption. The heir I want has nothing to do with blood. His thoughts are influenced by me. He can recognize my ruling philosophy. He has the ability to shoulder the burden of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Then he is worthy of being the next emperor."

Meng Huaijin did not have this idea on the first day.

If the Empress Dowager had not been anxious to establish the Empress Dowager for him, Meng Huaijin would not have told the Empress Dowager so early.

The Empress Dowager must be difficult to accept now, but Meng Huaijin knew that the Empress Dowager had been trapped in the harem and spent half his life lonely. He did not want another innocent woman to follow in the footsteps of the Empress Dowager.

He cannot give the other husband the love, nor can he promise to let the other party have his own descendants, so he should not have established a queen or a concubine.

Miss Sun, Miss Zhang, and Miss Zhao, no matter who comes, Meng Huaijin will have the same answer.

"You, you're a bastard!"

The Empress Dowager pointed at Meng Huaijin and scolded, "This is the will of the late emperor. If you dare not abide by it, the court officials and the royal family disagree. Do you want to go against the whole world?"

Meng Huaijin smiled.

The last emperor's will?

That's a joke.

The last emperor's will was to ask the "Crown Prince" to succeed to the throne. The empress dowager knew better than anyone else about how he got the position of crown prince.

The court officials may object, but the royal family will never object.
