Concubine's poisonous plot

Regarding the emperor's words, the eldest princess was not surprised. The government has been stable in recent years. If they continue to make the same mistakes as before, it will not only be a matter of separation between their siblings. The disruption of the government will just give other people Several countries can take advantage of this opportunity.

Especially Dong Qi, they have already picked up Wu Qinggui from West Qin, so they must have been prepared for it.

Maybe, there are already spies from Dong Qi in Daxia, but they haven't been exposed yet.

General Ma did not resist at all back then. Whether it was for the eldest princess or for his brothers, he had already given an explanation to the court.

The Queen Mother has often thought over the years that it would have been okay if she had not been so ruthless and had spared General Ma's life so that he could be a prince-in-law without any real power.

They would definitely make amends. They had always wanted to make amends to the eldest princess before, but had no chance. Now that they know that Ma Mingzhen is General Ma's son, it is equivalent to giving them a legitimate chance to make amends.

It's just that Queen Wei has some ideas. Judging from the emperor's attitude, she probably won't award the reward too lightly.

After all, there are too many factors mixed in here, and there is no way to explain it clearly.

The eldest princess said: "No matter what the title is, it's not you who have the final say? If one day you don't like him again, who knows whether this title will still be there..."

The Queen Mother was anxious: "Qing Huan, can you just rest assured? If you don't trust the Ai family, you still can't trust the emperor?"

The emperor did not follow the Queen Mother's words, because that would have confirmed that the Queen Mother was indeed untrustworthy.

"Sister, the title I gave him can be passed down forever. As long as future generations do not rebel, it will not be taken back..."

The word "rebellion" made the eldest princess feel slightly excited.

She couldn't hold back and said: "Whether you want to rebel or not, isn't it up to others to decide?"

After hearing this, King An did not dare to interrupt.

Just now he was thinking, otherwise he should give Ma Mingzhen a viscount. Anyway, in the past dynasties, it was already very impressive for the son of a princess to have a title, and Ma Mingzhen had been a guard in their house for these years. If he was given too much, The title is indeed not suitable.

It will also be awkward for them to meet in the future.

Cui Lijuan felt even more embarrassed. She didn't want to participate in such an occasion. It was simply suffocating.

However, regarding Ma Mingzhen's arrangement, she felt that if General Ma's status and achievements were considered, it would not be surprising to give him any title.

The emperor still spoke: "Sister Huang, I designate him as the Marquis of Anle. I wish him a happy life and that his descendants will also be happy..."

Peace and joy, this is a good sign.

The eldest princess knew in her heart that this title had been capped. After all, Ma Mingzhen was just her son and had no merit.

It would be most appropriate to give him a viscount or earl, but the emperor jumped over the rank and gave him a marquis. She would definitely not think of letting him compare with Wei Guogong.

After all, it was the natal family of the Queen Mother and the Queen, a truly famous family.

Being granted the title of Marquis in his early twenties without making any contribution to the court should make many people jealous, but the eldest princess didn't care.

These were all obtained by Ma Mingzhen's father. If he were still here, what would he do even if he was the Duke of the country?

She didn't say anything, and the emperor couldn't make up his mind whether this was a high or a low decision, so he could only remain in a stalemate.

The Queen Mother glanced at Queen Wei, who happened to be looking at her too.

Their mentality is similar. They can give a knighthood, but it certainly cannot be higher.

No matter how high he is, he will be on par with Wei Guogong.

"Your Majesty, this Anlehou is indeed good, and the omen is also very good..." Queen Wei spoke.

Cui Lijuan understood that the Wei family wanted to maintain this situation forever. There was only one Duke, so that they could stand out.

The emperor began to look back on the past in his mind. If General Ma had not been there, he would not have been able to become the emperor.

As for the Wei family, it was not a timely help, because the Queen Mother was not the queen at that time, and the Wei family did not have that much weight.

He thought that if his brother-in-law were alive, he would definitely have a transcendent status and would not be inferior to anyone, including Wei Guogong.

It's just that when he gets married to the eldest princess, he has to give up some rights.

He struggled for a long time. If Ma Mingzhen was given too high a title, the Wei family would also have objections, which would be of no benefit to him.

So, he decided.

"I will decree now that my nephew will be granted the title of Marquis of Anle. If he has great achievements in the future, he can be promoted..."

These words made the Queen Mother and Queen Wei feel in their hearts.

The eldest princess said: "Then thank the emperor..."

The emperor asked: "Sister Huang, if you make him a Marquis, you will live with him in the Marquis Mansion..."

The eldest princess said: "No, I won't disturb him. I need to give him time to adapt. He may not want to see me now..."

Her tone made the Queen Mother feel distressed again.

All of this was indeed caused by them.

The eldest princess raised her head and said solemnly: "After this incident, you can let go of your debt to me. After all, in these years, although I have no husband, I have always had a distinguished status, no matter what Whether these are because of my identity or because of my dead husband, they are all given to me by you... Living is a contradiction. I clearly don’t want to get close, but I am already unknowingly enjoying the conveniences you provide me... Now my My son has also become a marquis, and I am even less qualified to say coldly that I hate you and don’t want to see you, while at the same time frantically trying to find ways to make you compensate...Those are not what I want. I didn’t want to do that at the beginning either mentioned."

The eldest princess's rationality is heartbreaking.

She couldn't help but hate, and she couldn't help complaining, but she knew that she was no longer qualified.

Especially after her son accepted the position of Marquis.

Everyone was silent, and the emperor did not hesitate any longer, and directly asked people to prepare everything and go to issue the imperial edict.

He did not want to wait until tomorrow morning to let those who were already mixed with the competitive mood of party members discuss his nephew.

Eunuch Huang had just entered the palace, and the imperial edict was coming over there. Another servant said flatteringly: "I knew that Eunuch-in-law should be back at this time. I came here to wait for you. This is the title of the son of the eldest princess who has just been promulgated by the emperor. According to the imperial decree of Marquis Anle, I also ask my father-in-law to make another trip..."

When Eunuch Huang heard this, he said, "Marquis?"

It seems that this time, the emperor has really made up his mind.

At such an age and with such a title, even Su Wenshan back then couldn't compare.

He did not refuse, knowing that this must be the emperor's intention, so he said: "In that case, the Za family will go again."
