Quickly wear "I am the empress"

When Zhao Zhen heard Empress Cao mention this matter, he frowned somewhat unhappily.

"Empress, people in the harem are not allowed to discuss politics."

Hearing Zhao Zhen's sudden serious tone, Empress Cao smiled bitterly, and after a while, she said without any sadness or joy:

"Official, even if you say so, I am still your wife."

"Making a princess the heir is both a state affair and a family affair."

"If you don't explain it to me clearly, how can I deal with the people who come to inquire about me?"

Hearing the queen's words, Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, then said: "Queen, you are usually the most polite, there is no point in telling you about this matter."

"Appointing An'er as the heir is a decision I made after careful consideration."

"I am tired of facing the opposition of the world. I don't want to return to the harem and listen to your advice, Queen."

Hearing this, the light in the queen's eyes gradually dimmed, "Majesty, you don't believe me at all?"

Zhao Yan shook his head, "I know your temper."

You are the lady from a noble family chosen by all the officials. You are the most suitable lady to be the queen, and you are also the most polite. "

"Given your personality, you will definitely not be able to accept my making An'er the crown prince."

Seeing Zhao Zhen's solemn promise, Empress Cao felt even more bitter in her heart.

"Officials, husband and wife are one."

"Do you know how caught off guard I was when several old princesses suddenly came to the palace to question me today?"

"I'm your wife, but you made such a big decision without informing me in advance."

"No matter what, An'er is my daughter in name only. How do you know that I would oppose your decision?"

Seeing that the usually strong Queen Cao suddenly became a little hysterical, Zhao Zhen looked at her in silence.

"Empress, the matter of establishing a crown prince is too important to be discussed in the harem."

Hearing this, Empress Cao was filled with sarcasm in her heart, "Your Majesty, if it was Madam Zhang who asked you this question today, would you still give the same answer?"

Zhao Zhen frowned upon hearing this, "What do you mean by that?"

Queen Cao raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, turned her face away and said calmly, "It doesn't mean anything."

"I invited you here today because I want to ask you how I should deal with the matter of making An'er the heir."

Zhao Zhen sighed, "No matter how much the officials object, I still insist on making An'er the crown prince."

"I hope the Emperor and Empress can be of the same mind on this matter..."

Empress Cao nodded, looked at Zhao Zhen steadily and said, "Okay."

"That's like an official family, so I wish."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled faintly at Empress Cao and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Empress."

Empress Cao smiled bitterly and murmured sarcastically, "The husband is the leader of the wife."

"Your Majesty is the king, so I will naturally follow your lead."

Prince of Runan's Mansion.

As luck would have it, just as Zhao Yunrang was taking sick leave and staying at home, news came from the palace that Zhao Zhen was planning to make the eldest daughter, Princess Yan, the crown prince.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Chongrang, who was lying on the bed, sat up instantly and asked the housekeeper with a ferocious look, "What did you just say?"

"The emperor wants to make the eldest daughter the crown prince?"

The butler nodded, "Yes, my lord."

"It is said that this matter was raised by the emperor in the court."

Hearing this, Zhao Yunrang's eyes turned cold, and he asked through gritted teeth, "How did the government officials react?"

“Your Majesty, none of the officials in the court agree.

Zhao Yunrang glanced at the official indifferently.

"Does anyone mention Shuer?"

"Shu Ge'er was adopted by the emperor. He is the first choice for the crown prince."

The housekeeper nodded with a sad face, "Of course someone mentioned it."

"But the emperor insisted that he didn't kill the prince himself, and refused to agree to make the prince the crown prince."

"bump..........."

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Zhao Yunrang was so angry that he swept all the things in front of the bed to the ground.

"He is not his own child... He has adopted Shu Ge'er. According to etiquette and law, Shu Ge'er is his own child."

"I said that he sent Shu'er to my house to be raised."

"So he actually had such a plan."

"Appointing a princess as the crown prince is unprecedented. Zhao Zhen is really brave enough to think of it."

"Does he really think that the Song Dynasty belongs to him alone? He himself is incompetent and cannot give birth to a son, yet he wants to leave the country to his daughter. This is really a fantasy......"

Seeing that the broken pieces of the teacup were about to fall at his feet, the butler quickly and calmly took a step back.

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

Hearing the official's words, Zhao Yunrang roared angrily, "I know what to do."

As he spoke, he coughed violently and waved his hands irritably, "You continue to inquire and see how the matter progresses."

"Just call Brother Shu over."

Hearing this, the butler bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after the housekeeper left, a young man of about twelve or thirteen appeared in front of Zhao Chongrang.

The young man took a look at the mess on the ground, then bowed to Zhao Yunrang in silence and said:

"Meet the father."

Looking at the young man in front of him who saluted him meticulously, Zhao Yunrang had a complicated expression.

"You are now the heir of an official family, and you can no longer call me father."

"People's words are scary. If others hear you calling me like that, we will both be reported."

Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded silently, "Yes."

"Do you know why I called you here now?"

Zhao Shu nodded, "The emperor said in the court today that he wants to make the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Yan, the crown prince."

Seeing that Zhao Shu knew about this, Zhao Chongrang was somewhat relieved, "You received this news, it seems that you have not been a prince for nothing in the past few years."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen remained silent, just staring at the mess on the ground in a daze.

Zhao Yunrang coughed and then asked, "What do you think of the emperor's decision to make Princess Yan the crown prince?"

Zhao Zhen calmly said, "The emperor has his reasons for doing this."

Hearing the boy's words, Zhao Yunrang instantly lost his composure, "What did you say?"

"Do you know that the position of the crown prince should have been yours............"

Seeing Zhao Yunrang so excited, Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, and said without any sadness or joy: "I am not the emperor's biological child, so it is normal that the emperor does not want to hand over the throne to me."

"Now that you have been granted the title of a prince, I would like you to adopt the son of the King of Wu and make him the heir. I think you would not want to do that."

Hearing Zhao Shu's calm words, Zhao Yunrang was suddenly speechless. After a while, he said angrily, "How can this be the same?"

"I have so many sons, why should I adopt someone else's?"

"The emperor has a throne to inherit, and he can't give birth to a son. What else can he do except adopt one?"
