Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Ever since Zhiyu came to Yongxingjun Road, Ouyang Xiu has never had a comfortable day.

In order to give up completely, he went out at dawn every day and came back drunk at dark, just to avoid meeting Zhiyu.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu like this, Mrs. Ouyang felt helpless.

"Master, you should take care of your health."

Ouyang Xiu waved his hands tiredly, "I also want to take care of my health, but isn't that little ancestor still here?"

"When she came, I was so angry that I started to foam at the mouth."

"If I run into her again, my life span will be cut in half."

"She is of noble status. I can't afford to scold her, but I can afford to hide from her."

"As long as I don't meet her, she can't get angry with me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang shook her head with some amusement, "The princess is just a little naughty, she is not as scary as you say."

"You keep saying that. You are from the same sect. It is impossible for her to piss you off to the point of halving your lifespan."

"You, stop hiding from her."

Ouyang Xiu shook his head and smiled calmly: "Now that she has taken over my government affairs, I have nothing to do. If I don't go out and meet with my friends, I can't find anything to do."

"It's a rare time to have some free time, so I naturally want to go out more."

As he spoke, Ouyang Xiu sighed and said to Madam Ouyang with a gentle look, "Madam, you know everything in the mansion."

"Give the princess whatever she wants and cooperate with her to the fullest."

Hearing Ouyang Xiu say this, Madam Ouyang frowned slightly and asked with some concern, "Master, are you... choosing a side?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu shook his head expressionlessly, "Madam, now... it doesn't matter whether you stand on the same side or not."

"The princess is my junior sister. Unless I join someone else's team now, in the eyes of outsiders, I will be on the princess' side."

"The Master is always strict, but he thinks highly of the Princess."

"He has done his best to help the princess. As disciples, we have to follow his side as long as we don't want to betray our master."

Hearing Ouyang Xiu say this, Madam Ouyang couldn't help but frowned in worry, "Master, if you choose a side so early, will it be......"

Ouyang Xiu shook his head: "Don't think too much."

"My own junior sister, how can I watch her being alone and helpless in the court?"

"Besides, after the new policy failed, the government assigned us to various border areas. I think it was to build up power for the princess."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ouyang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ouyang Xiu waving his hand.

"Madam, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court."

"As long as there is no prince in the imperial palace, the princess's position is currently secure."

"Although there has never been a woman who has been crowned as the heir to the throne, the princess may be able to set a precedent."

Hearing Ouyang Xiu say this, Madam Ouyang frowned in confusion, "Didn't you privately scold the emperor for being stupid before?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu was slightly speechless. After a while, he said angrily: "I have to protect my own junior sister."

"Even though she talks back to me every day, as her senior, I can't get angry over such a thing."

"Besides, all of our disciples have been banished from Kyoto. We can only hope that she will transfer us back after she ascends the throne."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang covered her lips and smiled: "Doesn't the master only love mountains and rivers and not official career?"

Hearing Mrs. Ouyang's teasing words, Ouyang Xiu's face turned red instantly.

"Madam, you can't say this outside, otherwise if someone with ulterior motives hears it, I'm afraid I'll be demoted again."

"In the imperial court of the Song Dynasty, there are very few officials who work for the country and the people, but there are countless people who listen to complaints all day long."

Madam Ouyang nodded, "Master, don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say outside."

When the news of Zhiyu falling off the cliff reached Bian Jing, Zhao Zhen fainted in the court.

After he woke up, no one in the court mentioned the war on the front, and everyone was petitioning him to appoint a crown prince.

The princess fell off the cliff and naturally had no chance of survival. If the emperor did not appoint a crown prince at this time, the court might be robbed in the future.

After hearing the tearful requests of these officials for the establishment of a crown prince, Zhao Zhen glanced down with bloodshot eyes.

"Come here, arrest all these people."

"Yes.

As soon as Zhao Zhen finished speaking, a group of guards dressed in black filed in.

"Imperial City Division."

When the court officials saw the clothes on the guards, they gasped.

It seems that the emperor is still too opposed to the issue of appointing a crown prince. Even when the princess fell off a cliff, he had no intention of appointing anyone else as the crown prince.

Thinking of this, an astonishing possibility suddenly came to everyone's mind.

Now the eldest princess has unfortunately fallen off a cliff, but in the harem, besides the eldest princess, there is still the eighth princess born to Madam Zhang.

Although Madam Zhang was arrogant and domineering, she was deeply favored by the emperor in the harem.

Now that the eldest princess has met with an unexpected event, the emperor might consider cultivating the eighth princess...

In the court, it is already a headache for a princess to be involved in the dispute over the succession to the throne.

No matter what, a second princess must not be allowed to get involved.

Thinking of this, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Please put the overall situation first and appoint a crown prince as soon as possible."

Looking at the people kneeling down, Zhao Zhen laughed, his eyes full of madness.

"Good, good, good."

"You are truly good subjects of our Song Dynasty."

"When An'er was here, I brought up the issue of appointing a crown prince every day in the court, and you all made excuses."

"An'er's body is still warm, and you want me to appoint him as the crown prince."

"Tell me, who should I choose as the heir to the throne of the Song Dynasty?"

"Ok?"

"Sir, you have a prince, you can make him your heir."

"If the emperor is not satisfied with his own prince, he can adopt a few more children from his own royal family."

Hearing what these ministers said, Zhao Zhen laughed out of anger.

He stood up from the dragon throne with a crazy expression, looking at the minister who had just spoken as if he were a dead object.

"The princess fell off a cliff, and her life or death is still unknown!"

"Not only do you not care about the princess's safety, you are even trying to persuade me to appoint a crown prince......"

His eyes swept across everyone's face, the anger in his eyes became more and more intense, "I tell you, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty will only be my An'er! If anyone dares to mention this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen strode down and drew an extremely sharp sword from the hand of the Imperial City Guard, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the minister who had just spoken.

"Master Chen, you seem to be particularly concerned about my appointment of a crown prince."

Zhao Zhen's eyes were as cold as frost as he stared at the official in front of him who was called Lord Chen.

However, facing the sharp sword against his neck, Lord Chen showed no fear. He stood up straight, stared at Zhao Zhen with a righteous look on his face, and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, I am also considering the country."
