"The position of the mother of a country must not belong to such a person."

Chen Liqing was even more shocked.

She had always been wondering why the queen was under house arrest.

But I didn't expect it to be so serious.

His Majesty actually intends to depose the Empress...

Emperor Xia glanced at her, his expression softened again, and he patted her hands: "These things have nothing to do with you, just stay in the palace and be happy every day."

"What if the queen is deposed? Then the position of queen..." Chen Liqing frowned.

If the queen were to be replaced, it would probably cause a major upheaval for the entire harem.

I don't know if the new queen will be difficult to get along with...

Emperor Xia looked at her and said jokingly: "If you want to be the queen, it's not impossible..."

Hearing this, Chen Liqing was shocked and immediately knelt down in front of Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, you are joking. The fact that I can be your concubine is already a great favor from your Majesty."

"How dare I dream of becoming the queen?"

"Oh? You really don't want to?"

Emperor Xia didn't help her up, but just looked down at her.

He really liked Chen Liqing, but he actually liked women who knew their own status even more.

What's more, considering Chen Liqing's ability and family background, she is actually not suitable to be the queen.

"Do not want to."

Chen Liqing shook her head decisively.

"I don't want to be a queen at all. Are you kidding? Being a queen is tiring, okay? I don't want to get up so early every day and deal with so many affairs. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

After a pause, she looked at the palace she lived in and said, "Also, this palace, I don't want to move to another place at all."

"Although Kunxiang Palace is noble, it is not as comfortable as living here."

The title of queen is just empty words.

She doesn't have such big ambitions.

Given her background, being able to become a noble concubine was already a favor from Emperor Xia.

What's more, her son will become the crown prince in the future, so what does it matter whether she becomes the queen or not?

Anyway, she will become the queen mother in the end.

Although the Queen was the legal wife of Emperor Xia, who could dare to say that her status as a royal concubine was not honorable?

What's more, although the Queen said she was His Majesty's wife, in fact, in her eyes it was more of a position.

Whoever sits on it has to work!

But it’s definitely not for nothing!

Not to mention anything else, she remembered that she followed Emperor Xia at about the same time and age as the Queen. However, over the years, the Queen had used a lot of maintenance methods, but she just looked a little older.

This is obviously tiring!

She also wants to be beautiful and happy every day!

Emperor Xia didn't expect her to say such a thing.

Seeing her look of disgust towards the position of Queen, Emperor Xia couldn't help but laugh.

He reached out and helped her up, then touched her nose: "You are interesting. Others are flocking to the position of queen, but you are so disgusted?"

"Actually, I feel that the position of Queen is not only disliked by me, but also by Concubine Shu." Chen Liqing took the opportunity to sit next to Emperor Xia.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Emperor Xia was surprised.

Why does it feel like everyone dislikes the position of queen?

To be honest, he did prefer Shufei.

Shufei has a good personality and has done a good job managing the harem during this period.

She also gave birth to the eldest princess, Qin Rong.

There is the Rong family behind him.

It can be said that he is a suitable candidate in all aspects.

But why did she say that Concubine Shu was unwilling?

"it is true!"

Chen Liqing was afraid that Emperor Xia would not believe it, so she told him very seriously what Concubine Shu said when she came to her palace that day after receiving the imperial edict.

"Shu Fei said that managing the harem is really the most tiring and boring job. She has to worry about everything from big things like banquets and arrangements for concubines to small things like various arrangements for palace maids and eunuchs, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."

"She even has to worry about what dishes and things are brought into the palace every day and how to distribute them to the various palaces."

"You also have to make arrangements based on what the people in each palace like and dislike. If you do something inappropriate, people will think you are targeting them on purpose."

"Or some other ideas."

"But in reality! Being a queen, or managing the affairs of the harem, has no practical benefits. Apart from having more say and watching everyone listen to you, there is really no point."

Chen Liqing paused and added: "Besides, given the status of a concubine and a concubine, no one dares to look at us! Since no one dares to offend us, then the people who manage the six palaces now have to consider other people's thoughts and opinions. How tiring and boring it is!"

“It makes me tired just thinking about it!”

After listening to this, Emperor Xia was silent for a long time.

"Shu Fei, did you really say that?"

Chen Liqing nodded: "Of course! She spoke to me sincerely, and I thought about it! It is really the case. Moreover, I have helped her deal with some things these days, which are indeed trivial and boring. I don't even have much time to dance."

Chen Liqing’s favorite entertainment activity is dancing.

Emperor Xia also liked watching her dance.

It can be said that it is no exaggeration to say that the imperial concubine of the current dynasty can captivate the whole city with just one dance!

After listening to her words, Emperor Xia didn't know what to say for a moment.

After chatting with Chen Liqing for a few more words, he found an excuse to leave.

He decided to go to Wanrong Palace and see if Concubine Shu really thought so.

If this is the case...

Emperor Xia said he had a headache.

Then who should I choose as my queen?

It’s troublesome just thinking about it…

"Your Majesty, why are you here today?"

Shufei was handling some matters when she suddenly heard a message from outside. She was stunned at first. When she came to her senses, she saw a man in a black robe standing in front of her desk.

He immediately stood up and saluted.

"I came to see you. I heard that you have been very busy recently."

Xia Di looked at what she was dealing with in front of her.

It was about the drawings and fabric distribution for the spring clothes that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was going to make for the concubines in each palace. It looked a bit messy.

He just glanced at it and then looked away.

"What are you busy with?"

he asked aloud.

Concubine Shu explained: "The spring clothing configurations for the concubines in each palace have to be made now, otherwise they will not be able to wear them when spring comes. Recently, the imperial merchants have sent a lot of cloth, and I am dividing it according to the preferences of the concubines in each palace."
