The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

Chapter 213 Do you think it is better for you to take office yourself or draw lots?

Ji Yunchu heard a sigh and saw that her tears kept flowing out. She quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears and coaxed her gently: "Princess, don't be sad. In fact, the late queen has never left you. She has always lived in your hearts."

"Really?" The fourth princess sniffed and said hoarsely, "They used to say that my mother turned into a star in the sky, and that it was she who was shining brightly. Over the years, I have often looked up at her in the Star-Picking Tower."

Ji Yunchu: Well, other people are better at coaxing people.

She could only bite the bullet and said, "That's right. After all, that's where she belongs. What I'm saying is that you have a place for her in your hearts, so she has always lived in your hearts!"

Although the Fourth Princess felt that something seemed wrong, she couldn't put it into words. She finally spoke out the things that had been pent up in her heart for so many years, and she felt a lot more relaxed. She was very grateful to Ji Yunchu for listening to her chatter for so long.

Ji Yunchu was not as relieved as her, because she did not get any information about whether the late queen was killed by the virtuous concubine. She suddenly felt that the concubines in the imperial palace really demonstrated the cruelty of eating people without leaving any bones. The queen died of illness after one of her concubines, while the distant cousins ​​of the late queen took all her dowry for themselves.

If it wasn't for the unintentional act last night, so much dowry would have been secretly transferred without anyone knowing.

No wonder he dared to personally murder the dog emperor that day. It turned out that he had hidden so much money, which was enough for them and their son to win people's hearts!

The atmosphere was quiet for a while. The Fourth Princess noticed that Ji Yunchu was suddenly distracted and mistakenly thought that she was thinking about her biological mother, so she did not disturb her from missing her old friend.

Back in the imperial study, Mu Yanchen watched coldly as officials divided into four groups argued over which prince would be the regent. Just as everyone was arguing heatedly, a young eunuch shouted loudly outside the imperial study: "The queen has arrived."

All the ministers stopped talking at once. Most of them were trying to guess the Queen's intention, but a small number of people were still happy about her arrival, as if a backer had arrived, and they all walked towards the door to greet her respectfully.

"Your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" Several people saluted enthusiastically.

The others followed suit and saluted.

The queen walked to the dragon table with a smile and turned around. She did not sit on the dragon chair, but asked someone to move a stool to the center position in front of the dragon table, and she sat down naturally.

"No need to be polite, everyone please stand up!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty!" Everyone stood up and took their positions.

"When I was serving the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace, I heard that the gentlemen were arguing fiercely about who would be the regent. I had no choice but to come and see. I wonder if the gentlemen have agreed on who will be the regent?"

Feng Hongming was the first to step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we haven't come to a conclusion yet!"

"Oh? Why?" The queen glanced at everyone in front of the palace one by one. She naturally knew in her heart why they couldn't reach a conclusion, but she asked with an ignorant look on her face, just wanting them to make a decision quickly in front of her.

"Your Majesty, all the princes are too outstanding, and it is difficult for us to make a decision at the moment." Feng Hongming could tell that the queen wanted to use him to talk about family and country matters, but in order not to offend others, he said this deliberately.

A hint of displeasure flashed across the queen's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, she adjusted her emotions and said gently but solemnly: "My Lords, since it is so difficult to decide, why not let them draw lots? Whoever draws the longest lot will be the regent, how about that?"

All the officials present began to whisper and discuss at once, but those who had complaints in their hearts did not dare to say much at this time. After all, the person in front of them was the Queen, not their Majesty, and they were afraid of saying more and making more mistakes.

The Queen let them argue in private for a long time before she slowly said, "My Lords, I know that some of you will think this is inappropriate, but everyone thinks they are all good. However, the position of Regent has always been held by only one person. I think this on-site drawing of lots is fair. I believe that no matter who sits on the position of Regent, you should be able to accept it, right?"

Everyone: "..."

The imperial study fell silent in an instant. Seeing that the official was unable to be persuaded, the queen simply added fuel to the fire: "Chen'er, what do you think? Do you think it is better for you to take the office yourself or draw lots?"

Mu Yanchen didn't expect the Queen to ask him this. Since he was asked, he would not let her down. He walked to the center of the hall and stood there. After pretending to hesitate for a while, he said, "I am willing to listen to your arrangements, but I think you all have your own opinions. So I have a suggestion to make. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"

Of course the Queen didn't want to listen, but seeing how all the officials looked expectant, she couldn't deny it directly, so she smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, Chen'er!"
