Chapter 214: His Royal Highness Prince Chen's suggestion is very good
"Thank you, mother. I, my elder brother, second brother, and third brother are all the favorites of all the adults, but it is difficult to tell who is stronger at the moment. How about letting the seventh brother take care of this position first, and we will work with him to handle state affairs. Is that okay with you?"
After Mu Yanchen finished speaking, he did not forget to look at the queen's reaction sincerely.
Those who heard what he said began to discuss in whispers.
The queen was extremely unwilling. She had made such a big move just to help her son take the position of regent. Now she never expected that he would say that the most unremarkable Prince Jing should take over the position.
Her hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, but she still looked at the officials in the hall calmly, especially glancing at the father-in-law of the emperor. She just wanted her father to arrange someone to come out and say a few words, so that she would know how to respond.
At the same time, the father-in-law on the other side of her sight seemed to sense what she was thinking. He nodded slightly at her, then winked at Feng Hongming beside him, and Feng Hongming understood immediately.
He immediately walked to the center of the hall and said respectfully to the queen according to the father-in-law's wishes: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen's suggestion is very good, and I think it is feasible!"
Once one person said it, others came forward to second his words.
At this time, they all had only one thought in their minds, that is, crucial political affairs could not be resolved by such a low-level method as drawing lots.
The queen was filled with hatred in her heart, but she could only put on a forced smile and said, "If that's the case, then let Prince Jing take over the position of regent!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers saluted in unison.
"The matter has been dealt with. I will not stay here for long and will leave first!" After saying that, she stood up and left.
"We respectfully send off Her Majesty the Queen!" The ministers saluted again.
As soon as they left, Master Ren was the first to walk to Prince Jing's side and said respectfully, "Your Highness Prince Jing, please take a seat. I will present the government affairs to you!"
Mu Yanchen even reached out and pushed his brother, and Prince Jing walked forward feeling uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
But in order to avoid getting himself into trouble, he spoke immediately after he sat down: "This is my first time taking over such an important task, and I still have many shortcomings. I will have to rely on you brothers to help me."
After these words were spoken, everyone felt that Prince Jing had become more stable and sensible, and they all nodded in approval of his approach.
Mu Yanchen glanced at his three royal brothers and saw their expressions clearly, but in order for his brother to do things smoothly, he naturally just saw it and didn't say anything.
"Okay, okay, then please start talking about state affairs!" Prince Jing said in a loud and serious voice.
The ministers, whose major problems had been solved, immediately took out the memorials from their sleeves and placed them on the tray held by the eunuch.
The political meeting started smoothly here, while on the other side, the empress who got on the phoenix chariot was so angry that her face turned blue. It was not until she returned to the side hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity that she threw everything in the room to the ground in anger, making the floor a mess. However, Qinglian, who was watching all this, just watched her go crazy numbly.
When she was tired of falling, she went outside and called two palace maids to clean up the place. She then took the opportunity to go to the imperial kitchen and ask the imperial chef for a bowl of sweet soup with white fungus and lotus seeds.
When she returned to the side hall of the Yangxin Palace with the sweet soup, the room had already been cleaned. She came to the side of the empress with the sweet soup, placed the soup on the tea table, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the snow fungus and lotus seed sweet soup that has just been made in the imperial kitchen. Please try it!"
When the queen smelled the sweet aroma, the anger in her heart was immediately calmed down, and she picked up the bowl and savoured it carefully.
Half a minute later, she finished the sweet soup and felt much better. She looked at Qinglian with satisfaction and said with a smile, "You still understand me the best!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam!"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be sad. I know that what happened today was an unexpected result, but I think it is also a kind of luck at this moment!" Qinglian carefully comforted her.
"Oh? What do you mean? Tell me in detail!" The queen felt relieved. Finally, someone cared about her feelings!
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is well-known for only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun, and not caring about state affairs. Therefore, as long as we do more to make his decision, Your Highness will come forward to handle it. In this way, people will only see the ability of our prince, and Prince Jing will make them feel incompetent, and slowly they will think of replacing him with someone else, and then Your Highness will be worthy of the title."
Qinglian spoke out her true feelings in one breath and waited for the Queen's next words.
After hearing this, the queen quickly reacted and smiled. "That's great. I'll leave this matter to you! Remember to keep a close eye on Prince Jing, Prince Xuan, and Prince Chen. If they make any moves, come back and report to me immediately!"
"Yes, I obey your command!" Qinglian agreed obediently, "Then I will go!"
Not long after Qinglian left, Gui Momo came in from outside, looking a little excited, "This old servant pays homage to the Majesty, may the Majesty be blessed!"
"No need to be so polite. Momo came here suddenly. Is there something wrong in the harem?" The queen raised her eyes seductively.
"Your Majesty, there was a thief in Xianqing Palace last night. I heard that the thief took away all the jewelry, gold and silver in the private vault of Concubine Xian."
