Chapter 21 I want to be the Queen Mother 9
Ji Yao chose the eighth prince between the seventh and eighth princes, because after investigation, she found that the eighth prince had long wanted to seize the throne and had been preparing for a long time, so he was more suitable than the unprepared seventh prince.

After selecting the candidate, Ji Yao was a little more friendly when the Eighth Prince greeted him.This day, several princes greeted Ji Yao as usual, and Ji Yao's attitude was the same as usual, treating each prince equally, neither close nor hostile, but the eighth prince keenly found that his tea had been replaced by oolong tea.

The Eighth Prince's love for oolong tea is almost an open secret in the palace, but the Eighth Prince is a poor little person who no one cares about. No one cares about what kind of tea he likes to drink, so they usually serve him whatever tea is convenient for him. .

Before Ji Yao unified everyone with Yunwu tea, anyway, it is difficult for everyone to adjust, so you can choose according to your own taste, and the princes don’t care what kind of tea they drink here, even the fifth prince who also likes Yunwu tea is basically the same. Wouldn't take more than one sip.

The eighth prince drank the tea calmly and said goodbye to the other princes. He did not show anything special. However, all the gifts sent to Kunning Palace after that, regardless of their value, were at least thoughtful.The two tested each other for several rounds, and finally reached a tacit understanding.

The counselor of the eighth prince said happily: "This is a great help, with the help of the harem, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Another adviser, Mr. Tian, ​​said: "But why does the Queen want to form an alliance with Your Highness? Logically speaking, the Queen has no biological children. No matter which prince comes to the throne, she will be the Queen Mother. If you are worried about the situation of two Queen Mothers standing side by side, the Prince also meets the requirements. Yes. From an objective analysis, it is unlikely that His Highness will take over the throne, and even if it is of little benefit to the Empress, why does she support His Highness?"

The advisers began to think about it. Indeed, if they did not know the power of the Eighth Prince in private, he was indeed the weakest from the surface. However, it was unreasonable to say that the Queen wanted to seize power. After all, the Eighth Prince was already an adult, and she was not the weakest. It is necessary for the Queen Mother to listen to the government behind the curtain, and several counselors are thinking hard.

The Eighth Prince smiled and said: "Gentlemen, you have entered a misunderstanding. You don't know the arrogance of me, the prince's brother. In the prince's place, except for his father and his maternal family, no one else is in his eyes, even when facing the queen. Think about it, gentlemen, how can the empress rest assured about her future situation!"

Several counselors thought about the prince they usually heard, and then thought about the benevolent eighth prince, and they all nodded. If they changed, they would be willing to follow the eighth prince.

Whether it's true or false, at least the Eighth Prince's attitude towards others is comfortable.The prince looks like the boss, and his attitude as the second child will only make people feel that he is domineering.

On the other side of Kunning Palace, Ji Yao received another order from the prince to attack Concubine Hui and Concubine De in the harem. The reason was that the second prince and the fourth prince had joined forces to involve the prince in a key position.

In view of the fact that the prince's boat will soon be off, Ji Yao thinks that this matter can be done on the surface.

Ji Yao asked someone to call Chun Guifei. Under Ji Yao's promotion, Chun Chang, who hadn't been promoted for more than 20 years, achieved several jumps in just a few years, and she even maintained her beautiful face. He has been favored by the emperor several times.Therefore, Concubine Chungui became more obedient, as soon as Ji Yao called, she came immediately.

Concubine Chungui laughed and said: "Just when I wanted to see the empress, the empress sent someone to call for my concubine. The empress and my concubine really have a good understanding."

Ji Yao also smiled and said, "I miss you too, and there are new snacks in the small kitchen, so I'll let you try them."

Concubine Chun Gui pinched a piece of soft white snack, put a handkerchief on her palm, and ate it mouthful.The outside is soft, and the inside is even softer. The red bean paste is dotted inside. One bite, the mouth is full of sweetness, and there is an indescribable fragrance.Concubine Chun Gui couldn't help eating two more yuan.

Ji Yao said: "I'll ask someone to give you the recipe later, and you can make it yourself when you go back. Just don't be greedy, so as not to accumulate food."

Concubine Chun Gui nodded, and then said: "I see that your face is not good, please tell me if you have any troubles, and I will share your worries."

Concubine Chun Gui was cautious before, and her ability to read people's faces was exceptionally accurate.Ji Yao said: "It's nothing, but I have low qualifications after all, and the imperial concubine and the fourth concubine are not very convinced by me."

Concubine Chungui was filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, you are the mistress of the emperor who came in from the main gate, and you should be in charge of the harem. What right do they have to be dissatisfied with you!"

The next day when the concubine greeted her, the noble concubine Chun found the right time and made a sarcasm. Both the noble concubine and the fourth concubine looked ugly, and there was nothing they could do.

Ji Yao also reprimanded a few of the four concubines for their small mistakes. Although it didn't hurt her bones, the warning was full of meaning.

After the prince found out, he was not satisfied with Ji Yao's understatement. Compared with his own loss, the fourth concubine only lost face and her strength was not lost at all. How could he be satisfied with this?

The prince asked the concubine to instruct Ji Yao, but the concubine did not dare to resist, she is not a queen yet, even if she became a queen, Ji Yao could handle her with a filial piety, but the concubine did not dare to disobey the prince, she could only be tactful Tell Ji Yao what the prince means.

Although it was much more tactful, Ji Yao could still hear the commanding tone inside. Ji Yao was unhappy because even if they formed an alliance, the relationship between herself and the prince was by no means superior.

Ji Yao said: "It's cold in the morning. The Crown Princess should come later to say hello. Taking good care of yourself is the most important thing."

The Crown Princess smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you very much for your concern, Queen Mother. It is my blessing to be able to greet my Queen Mother. A little coldness is nothing, I just need to put on more clothes."

Ji Yaodao didn't say anything, and before leaving, someone loosened a box for the princess.

The princess went back and opened the box and found that it was a dropped cup. The princess gave the box to the prince, and the prince asked about the conversation between the two. Looking at the cup again, it is very meaningful, one knife and two paragraphs.

The prince realized that Ji Yao wanted to unilaterally terminate the alliance, but he had no way to deal with it. After all, Ji Yao's initial alliance was voluntary, and the prince never thought that one day Ji Yao would suddenly break the contract.

The crown prince's uncle Tian Mou said: "I disagreed with you when you said you wanted to form an alliance with the empress. See, something has happened now!"

The prince said: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. If the queen breaks the contract, we will lose a helping hand in the harem, and the queen may even form an alliance with other princes. This is not good for Gu."

Tian Mou said: "Your Highness, don't worry. In my opinion, the Queen will never think about others. You think, there are only a few princes who can compete with her. With the relationship between the noble concubine and the fourth concubine and the Queen, how can the Queen Maybe form an alliance with them?”

The crown prince frowned and said, "You forgot Lao Qi and Lao Ba. Lao Qi's biological mother is an unfavorable nobleman, and Lao Ba's biological mother died young. What if the queen forms an alliance with Lao Ba?"

Tian Mou said firmly: "Your Highness, do you think that these two are capable of fighting? As long as they take the lead, the other princes will not get together and push them down."

Seeing that the prince was still frowning, Tian Mou said again: "If you are really worried, I will send someone to watch over them. As soon as they show signs of forming an alliance, they will immediately intervene. What do you think?"

The prince nodded and settled the matter.

Tian Mou's staring was quickly discovered by Ji Yao and the eighth prince. After all, new people were needed to be inserted in, so they would naturally be carefully inspected.Both of them didn't touch the person who came in, but they kept their faces, and they could use people to pass false news to the prince at critical times.

Five years passed quickly, and under the checks and balances of all parties, it was very difficult for the princes to maintain a balance.Soon this fragile balance was broken, and the emperor suddenly fell down in the early court, unable to afford illness.

Several princes wanted to enter the palace to serve the sick, but the emperor did not see anyone. The princes could only judge the emperor's situation based on the news from the mother and concubine in the harem.

The emperor used his own illness to make a game, but fortunately, several princes were trapped.The prince was the first to enter the Internet, and there was no one in the prince's harem. After being misled, he summoned people to enter the palace, and the people arranged by the emperor all took care of it.

When King Cheng learned that the prince forced the palace, he raised troops to suppress the rebellion, and was denounced by the emperor as an accomplice and imprisoned.Since then, the two most powerful princes have been eliminated, and the emperor has started a new balance.

Taking advantage of the new balance, Ji Yao began to put the Eighth Prince into the game.Four five, six nine, seven eight, a new tripod is formed.

It seems that the seventh and eighth princes are the weakest. In order to maintain balance, the emperor gave the seventh and eighth princes the green light. Coupled with the eighth prince's private preparations, the eighth prince can say that he has the best chance of ascending to the throne now. of.

But the emperor is still very energetic, so everyone is waiting for the opportunity to come.The eight princes and their party all followed the emperor's footsteps and took the emperor's instructions as the highest criterion, which won the emperor's favor.

Another year, the emperor fell ill again. This time it seemed that the oil was running out and the lights were dying. The emperor called many ministers in a day, and the intention of establishing a reserve was obvious.

Seizing the Inheritance has entered the final countdown, success or failure depends on it.Concubine Shu and Concubine De joined forces, and Concubine Xian was not to be outdone, messengers in the palace came and went frequently, Ji Yao only quietly sent someone to the Eighth Prince at the beginning: Wait.

The eighth prince did not move, and only copied the scriptures in the mansion to pray for the emperor. After the emperor secretly sent someone to see a few princes, he confirmed his mind and made the eighth prince the crown prince.

In view of the low status of the eighth prince's biological mother, the emperor placed the eighth prince under Ji Yao's name. In this way, the eighth prince was the legitimate son and his ascension to the throne was smooth.

Ji Yao checked with her soul power, and after confirming that the edict was the name of the eighth prince, she calmed down and only controlled the harem.

One month later, the emperor died of illness, and the eighth prince, who was named the crown prince, ascended the throne, respected Ji Yao as the queen mother, and at the same time added grace to his mother.

Since then, the dynasty has entered a new era.The new emperor is grateful for Ji Yao's help, and respects Ji Yao very much. In addition, the new emperor has not yet married a wife, so Ji Yao is the only mistress of the harem, and she lives a happy life.

After the new emperor got married, Ji Yao immediately handed over the palace power. Such troublesome things would only take up time, and Ji Yao was too lazy to care about those trivial matters.

After being light, Ji Yao spent more time on her family. Now that Ji Shangshu has retired, Ji Yu won the first prize in the new emperor's Enke. After the new emperor asked Ji Yao's opinion, he granted Jiyu the title of Marquis of Chengen , Mrs. Ji is the wife of Yipin.

Ji Yao finished her life freely and returned to the underworld. Her original body had been reincarnated in relief.
