Madam, she is delicate and frail, and she must be pampered by the sinister prince.

Xie Qiong interrupted at the right time.

"It's windy at night, why don't you two go back early."

Zheng Wuyi's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Yes, there are more important things to do tonight. When the Marquis of Changping returns, we have to hold a banquet to welcome him. This is our great hero of the Zhou Dynasty. !”

Nie Huating didn't move for a long time, his dark and gloomy eyes kept looking at her.

It wasn't until a long time later that the man said:
"Thank you, my dearest lady, I don't dare."

Zheng Wuyi raised his head slightly: "Of course you can, Marquis Changping doesn't have to be so humble."

Xie Chongxiao looked away slightly.

Xie Qiong glanced at Zheng Wuyi, raised her hand and said, "Take a seat."

Mu Yunjian supported Nie Huating and whispered, "No, I haven't seen him for more than half a year."

Moreover, Xie Chongxiao suddenly came back, something fishy happened.

I am afraid that the power of the Zheng family is so great that the emperor must find someone to check and balance it.

"I am fine."

Nie Huating breathed a sigh of relief.

Huh, she thought she would be reluctant to let him go, but she was a little surprised when she saw his haggard and thin appearance now.

It seems that she had a bad life in the border area. Nie Huating always thought that she was generous, but now she realized that she was also so despicable.

Seeing that he was as frustrated as she was, she felt inexplicably satisfied.

At the banquet, Xie Qiong paid tribute to Zheng Siwei and Xie Chongxiao.

Some people also suggested: "Your Majesty is in his prime, so it is better to establish a queen earlier to ensure the stability of the harem and the stability of the previous dynasty!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Concubine Zheng is the queen of a famous family, and she is the highest-ranking person in your Majesty's palace. Please make Concubine Zheng your queen!"

Many ministers proposed to make Zheng Wuyi the queen.

These people were probably not just a coincidence. Seeing that Concubine Xuan was about to give birth, the people who were attached to the Zheng family were afraid that they would be unbalanced in the next crown prince, so they could only advise Zheng Wuyi to be the queen.

In this case, even if Concubine Xuan gave birth to her eldest son, she would not be immediately established as the prince.

Xie Qiong's brows twitched.

"Zheng Aiqing, what do you think?"

Zheng Wuyi stood up and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, although the imperial concubine is my biological sister, her talent and temperament are not enough to be a queen. But now that your Majesty's post is vacant, the Zheng family must of course relieve your Majesty's worries."

To relieve His Majesty's worries.

Xie Qiong smiled.

Mu Yunjian looked at all this tensely, as if it had nothing to do with him. He lowered his head and quietly asked Nie Huating next to him: "Is the queen very noble?"

Nie Huating nodded. The first wife of a ninety-five-year-old man is of course noble.

In fact, if Empress Gu had not insisted on supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne, the late emperor would have had no reason to depose the queen.

Mu Yunjian chuckled and said, "Do you want to be a queen?"

These words startled Nie Huating, and he hurriedly glared at Mu Yunjian, "No nonsense!"

In this case, you can't talk nonsense.

Mu Yunjian touched his chin, oh, is it a serious crime to commit treason?

Just as everyone was paying attention to the important matter behind Li Li, Mu Yunjian suddenly noticed that there was a gaze that had been looking at him.

The look in his eyes was cold, with the bloody aura of someone who had killed many people. Just looking at him calmly would make anyone afraid.

Mu Yunjian thought to himself, is this jealous?

It's a pity that the person is no longer his.

Nie Huating was thinking about the current situation in the court. Unexpectedly, the young man beside him suddenly took her hand. Nie Huating was stunned for a moment, and then pulled away his hand.Mu Yunjian was not angry and smiled.

Xie Zhongxiao looked at all this, raised his head, and the sinister look in his eyebrows disappeared.

Amid the roar of approval, a majestic voice suddenly said:

"Since we are going to have a queen, the harem has always valued the mother and her son, so I advised that whoever gives birth to the eldest son first will be the queen."

This sentence really shocked everyone present.

This was tantamount to openly opposing the Zheng family. Zheng Siwei and Zheng Wuyi's expressions suddenly changed.

What's even more terrible is that this man is Xie Chongxiao, a hero with outstanding military achievements today.

Nowadays, the lines in the court are clear. As for the next heir, the Zheng family still favors Zheng Wuyi, and Xie Chongxiao's choice is Concubine Xuan, who is now pregnant.

Zheng Wuyi clenched her fists in anger. How dare a cheap maid compete with her for the position of queen?
Xie Qiong said calmly: "What the dear ladies said makes sense, but now the south is suffering from floods and there is no harvest. I don't want to deal with the harem affairs yet."

Xie Qiong's words left everyone confused.

Now is still the time to employ people, and the Zheng family is powerful after all, but if we wait any longer, once Concubine Xuan gives birth to a prince, wouldn't it be a certainty?

Zheng Siwei came specially to congratulate Xie Chongxiao: "It's a joy to congratulate the Marquis on his triumphant return."

"Master Zheng is the humerus of the imperial court, and his hard work is highly rewarded."

The two of them smiled and exchanged pleasantries before getting straight to the point.

"My sister, can't she be the queen?"

Xie Zhongxiao counterattacked: "Concubine Xuan is His Majesty's first wife, so of course she deserves to be the queen."

Zheng Siwei smiled and said: "The Queen is not only His Majesty's wife, but also the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

No one except the daughter of the Zheng family can afford such honor.

Zheng Siwei raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know when the relationship between Marquis Changping and Concubine Xuan became so good. Could it be because of Nie Huating?"

"No." Xie Chongxiao told him directly, "Concubine Zheng is Master Zheng's sister. She will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and I will also find another prince for myself."

Zheng Siwei laughed loudly: "Okay, then, let's wait and see, how long will it take?"

"Mr. Zheng, you're welcome."

Zheng Siwei took a few steps away and said, "Marquis Changping is only twenty-two this year and has made great military exploits. However, after reconciling with Nie Huating, Marquis Changping never thought about marrying another one."

"Don't bother."

"My Zheng family has a side branch. There are only two sisters. The eldest sister is gentle and docile. Their parents asked me to take care of them before they died. If Marquis Changping is willing, I will send her to your house soon." Zheng Siwei said warmly, "To each other Are you dealing with me, I've also determined that you are a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and my Zheng family's daughter will be good at it."

Xie Chongxiao glanced at him: "No need, I just want to serve His Majesty now."
-
After the banquet, Mu Yunjian was left behind by His Majesty, and Nie Huating left the palace alone.

It's getting late, I'm afraid Concubine Xuan has already fallen asleep by now.

Nie Huating felt deep in his heart that he didn't want her to get involved in the fight.

Several officials and family members were whispering behind her back.

"Didn't she make peace with Marquis Changping? How could she still come into the palace?"

"What a good trick. Instead of interacting with the nobles in Luoyang City, you have a very good relationship with Concubine Xuan."

"I heard that Prince Mu Yun also wants to marry her. A woman who has been married before is quite capable."

"I remember she had a miscarriage, the child of Marquis Changping, but she couldn't keep it."

"You're not that old. You can marry again in the future. But even if you marry again, how can you compare to the Marquis of Changping?"

These words also reached the ears of Xie Chongxiao and Xu Di. Xu Di quickly looked at Nie Huating's face.

I'm afraid the Marquis will be angry.

At this time, a woman in red clothes approached, raised her lips and said:
"Yeah, the ladies are talking about me."

"Yes, there is so much trouble in front of the widow's door."
