After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Lin Ping subconsciously retorted: "That's impossible!" She stood up suddenly and said: "Your Majesty is such a great man, how could he choose someone of such a humble origin to be the queen!"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the whole world belongs to him, who does he need to discuss family background with?" Lou Qi's eyes turned straight to him: "Besides, when did I say that the emperor wants to make her the queen now?"

Princess Linping's words got stuck in her throat: "What does the master mean?"

Lou Qi walked up to Lin Ping with his hands behind his back and said, "Your Highness, don't you understand the emperor? If His Majesty wanted to establish a queen, he should have married her when he took power ten years ago. Why did His Majesty prefer to postpone taking power than to fulfill Master Ming's wishes?"

Lin Ping was frightened by his aura and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Lou Qi gave her a deep look and said, "Because Your Majesty wants to be the true emperor."

In order to have everything in its own hands, it is unwilling to swallow any hooked bait and will not accept any possible clamping, even if it is not fully grown.

No matter if this control comes from teachers, ministers, or his blood relatives.

This was a road that was destined to be lonely and difficult, but what was even more astonishing was that Emperor Zhao Yuan did it.

"Will a person who claims to be alone be affected by his bloodline?" Lou Qi sighed: "So, Your Highness, I am afraid that in the eyes of His Majesty, even if you are a princess, you are not as good as a favored minister by his side, let alone a person who is so dear to him!"

"Your Majesty is now twenty-six years old. Those civil servants have been arguing since he was fifteen, but they have not been able to shake your Majesty's mind. In the final analysis, our emperor has never thought of marrying for the sake of the ancestral temple and the country. The queen in the future must be someone who is extremely loved and respected by the emperor."

With a queen like this, can even the empress dowager, let alone the princess, stand up to her?

Princess Linping was struck by lightning and was speechless. After a long while, she whispered, "But that girl is only thirteen years old."

Lou Qi asked back, "Ying'er is not even fifteen yet, hasn't the princess already considered which family to marry her to?"

Lin Ping was speechless for a moment, and only heard her husband continue, "May I ask Princess, over the years, have you ever seen His Majesty treat any young lady differently?"

Lin Ping shook his head, and Lou Qi asked again: "Does the princess know His Majesty well, or does Wu Zongguan, who serves in Yuchen Palace every day, know His Majesty well?"

Lin Ping understood and said, "It must be that Eunuch Wu understands the emperor's heart."

Lou Qi nodded and said, "The emperor sent him here directly to tell us clearly that the girl is the one he is protecting. He also wants us to help take care of her."

He pointed at himself and his wife and said, "As for age, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty is rich as the world, if he is a beauty lover, all the beauties in the world are within his reach. Since you have been chaste until now, do you care about waiting a few more years?"

At the court meeting, His Majesty did not say a word about the matter of the Queen of Opposition, which means that His Majesty is not in a hurry for this matter now, and does not want anyone in the court to fan the flames and select a lady from a famous family to carry on the family line for him.

Lou Qi muttered to himself, "I'm afraid that within two or three years, those who talk nonsense about establishing a queen will all vent their anger on Your Majesty."

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at his wife: "In fact, what I am more curious about is, who on earth is that girl, who could make a heavenly being like Your Majesty fall in love with her?"

Lin Ping showed a hesitant expression on his face: "She is a very pretty girl, as thin as a cloud and a willow, looking at her makes people feel pity and distressed. But she is not the kind of peerless beauty who can overwhelm the whole country."

What's more, to say something taboo, when it comes to appearance, no one can compare to your Majesty's peerless beauty.

Lou Qi nodded upon hearing this: "Your Majesty is a saint and a gentleman, he will not be tempted by beauty, so I think this is fate in heaven."

Lin Ping said, "Since His Majesty likes her as you said, why does he allow her to stay at the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion instead of issuing an imperial decree to summon her to the palace?"

Lou Qi smiled like a man who knows, "Princess, do you even need to ask this? That girl must be still ignorant and unaware. Your Majesty dare not act rashly, so he can only try his best in secret. It's just unrequited love."

Lin Ping couldn't believe it: "How can this be possible?"

Lou Qi said, "Your Majesty is willing, so why can't we do it? Besides, didn't the princess say that the girl is still young? Your Majesty doesn't want to bully her, so you have to follow her wishes."

Lin Ping was silent for a while before asking, "What do we do about what the lord wants to say?"

Lou Qi had calmed down by now. He sat back next to the princess, held her hand and said, "Princess, what do you think of the relationship between Miss Shen and the Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion?"

Lin Ping thought carefully: "When she was meeting with the daughter of Lord Shen, she was not in the same group, but in her conversation, she defended the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion."

Lou Qi pondered: "If the princess wants to show her good will to His Majesty, she should find an opportunity to invite the ladies of the Marquis' Mansion to a small gathering, and then pass the news to His Majesty. What I heard before was mostly my guess. If I want to verify it, I have to find a way to let His Majesty see how he and Miss Shen get along."

Lin Ping's handsome and dignified face showed some sadness: "What about our Ying'er?"

Lou Qi was silent for a long time before he said cruelly, "During this period of time, I will close my house and refuse visitors. I will copy the scriptures three hundred times to show my loyalty and filial piety. If it is for Ying'er's own good, Your Highness can send her to the temple temporarily and bring her back to the house when she reaches the age of marriage!"

Princess Linping sat in the chair, unable to utter a word for a long time.

----

The disturbance at the court meeting spread to the homes of the civil and military dignitaries in the capital in an instant.

In the Wen residence, Wen Huaichen was scolding Dong Fan to his old father: "That greedy and foolish thing! If you want to die, don't drag me down."

Old Master Wen was about seventy years old, but he still had sharp eyes and ears. He was playing with a budgie and said nonchalantly, "Dong Fan is courting death, there must be someone behind him. Your Majesty can see through everything and will naturally be able to tell that you should not associate with him. What's there to be afraid of?"

Although Wen Huaichen has been promoted to the position of Shangshu, he still behaves respectfully in front of his father. He sighed, "After all, he is the Minister of Rites. He has to save face. If there is any trouble, his son will not be able to escape responsibility."

Old Master Wen turned to his grandson and asked, "Qian'er, what do you think?"

Wen Yunqian is the eldest son of Wen Huaichen's first wife. He is nearly thirty years old and now holds the position of Left Chief of the Dali Temple. Discussing matters in front of his father and grandfather makes him feel a little restrained.

He clasped his hands together and answered respectfully, "Grandfather, father. I think that since Lord Dong is the Minister of Rites, it is his duty to give advice and make memorials. However, I did not report to my superiors, bypassed the level of the superiors, and acted on my own initiative, and I should also report to the emperor."

After hearing this, Elder Wen smiled and said, "Qian'er, this is a moderate statement. You are the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, so this is what you should do. However..."

He changed the subject and said, "In three years at the shortest, five years at the longest, your father will move you out of the Dali Temple. When you go to the Six Ministries, you should learn to be more humble."

"Today, Grandfather will teach you that the most important thing for an official in this dynasty is to understand the intentions of the superiors."

He pointed his finger upwards and said, "There is only one person up here."

Wen Yunqian asked in confusion: "Grandson, I understand. But what Dong Fan said does not seem to be wrong, and His Majesty has not directly refuted it. Why are grandfather and father so sure that Lord Dong has angered His Majesty?"

Old Master Wen laughed at his son and said, "Qian'er is too honest."

Wen Huaichen nodded: "This is also his blessing." He turned to his eldest son and said: "My son is young and does not know the temper of the emperor back then."

"At that time, His Majesty was only fifteen years old..."
