Seeing that the queen was a little loose, Princess Xiao Ling hurriedly followed Tan Yu's instructions and raised the flames: "Since you know in your heart that women are not inferior to men, why do you have to stick to the old rules and let men be kings?"

The queen was silent for a while, before saying: "That's different. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a woman to be a king."

"Who said there is no? Wu Zetian is not?"

Princess Xiaoling argued hard.

"That's right. That's why Wu Zetian has been infamous through the ages."

The Queen didn't back down either.

indeed.Wu Zetian was infamous through the ages.

At least, among the people, there are many negative legends about her.

The queen sighed: "People in the world have rumored that Wu Zetian is vicious, and it's even rumored that he doesn't look like a person anymore. He even strangled his own children to frame others... Oh, mother and mother don't know whether these rumors are true or not, but You know, history books are always written by the victors. Wu Zetian is not the king of subjugation. Logically, no historian would dare to write like this. Well, even if there are historians who dare to write, even if everything is true, why is she alone? His vicious deeds have been spread everywhere and heard in the streets? Isn’t it because she is a woman?”

Xiao Ling was speechless.

The queen continued: "Just because she is a woman, she became the emperor again. This is a big taboo against the world, a taboo! It is a taboo against men in the world. It is even a taboo against the entire patriarchy. To maintain this Patriarchal, there are men and women. They have no other choice, so they attack her wantonly and trample her. They can't wait to trample her into the mud and be cast aside by everyone before they give up."

Xiao Ling was a little angry when he heard that.

Is that so?

She hadn't thought about it yet.

Was she being criticized especially because she was a woman?

However, before she opened her mouth to complain, the queen had already held her hand: "Ling'er, my mother doesn't want you to bear these burdens. My mother only wants you to live a happy little life in peace."

This is a mother's true love.

However, Princess Xiao Ling suddenly asked: "The queen mother thinks, if the child becomes the emperor, can the daughter really live a happy life in peace?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the Queen's heart heavily.

Yes.

Why hasn't she thought about this question?

Just because she had thought about it, she had always hoped that her daughter would find a husband with a strong background.

The scene of the emperor a hundred years later can actually be foreseen.

The new emperor, I'm afraid he won't trust Princess Xiao Ling.

It would be considered extremely merciful not to kill Xiao Ling just in case.

Even if Princess Xiao Ling is kept, it must be on guard against again.

House arrest or something, I'm afraid it's the basic model.

Other extras are even more unpredictable.

In short, it is not possible to "live a happy life in peace and stability".

This is the last thing the queen wants to see as a mother.

It was also what she was always afraid to think about.

It seems that if you don't want to, it won't happen.

But at this moment, Xiao Ling brought this matter up directly, and he could no longer avoid it.

The queen's face became ugly.

She is really worried about this.

In her life, she only had Xiao Ling as a daughter.

She couldn't bear to let her daughter suffer.Not even after a hundred years.

At this time, Princess Xiao Ling was blessed with a heartfelt knife: "Mother, to say something disrespectful, if one day the father walks in front of you, do you think that the new emperor will really treat you well when the new emperor ascends the throne? At that time, don't say The life of the emperor is not easy, and the life of the queen mother is probably not easy."

"To shut up!"

The queen habitually scolded lightly.

"Hugh is talking nonsense!"

It is disrespectful to discuss the date of the emperor's funeral.

This is not what a minister or woman should say at all.

However, these words broke into her heart the moment she scolded her.

Yes.

If the emperor takes the first step, let alone guaranteeing the safety, joy and wealth of his daughter, he might not be able to guarantee his own, right?

The queen's heart began to tighten.

After all, it is impossible to truly empathize with someone who loves someone again.

No matter how much she loves Xiao Ling, no matter how much she worries about Xiao Ling's future, there is a layer of separation.

Now, is it that you can't even guarantee your own sense of security?

A sense of security is a basic human need.

No matter how much you love others, it will not change your number one priority.

Because if a person doesn't even feel safe about himself, it's hard to have other thoughts.

Now, the Queen's sense of security is being challenged.

She has never been uneasy in her life.

Before she got married, she was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and she was extremely talented and beautiful.

She was trained as a quasi-queen since she was a child, and her status in the mansion is self-evident.

Even in the outer mansion, everyone knew that she might enter the palace as a master in the future, so they all gave in.

After getting married, because of the emperor's sole favor, she was even more in the limelight.

It can be said that she has been praised all her life.

Her life path is dotted with splendid flowers along the way.

Now that I am suddenly told that the rest of my life is completely out of control, and that the future depends entirely on luck, it is hard to understand.

So, the queen pondered.

Xiao Ling was not in a hurry, and had no intention of urging him at all.

She is waiting.

Tan Yu had already told her that as long as she made it clear what was going on, the queen mother would make up her own mind.

Sure enough, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, the queen said, "Let me think about this matter, you go back first."

With Xiao Ling's temper, just like her dawdling, she couldn't wait.

But Tan Yu had already instructed: this matter should not be rushed.As long as the matter is explained, the queen mother knows the choice.

So, Xiao Ling got up and said goodbye: "That's okay, the queen mother will think about it carefully, and the daughter will leave first."

After returning to the princess mansion, Xiao Ling was still a little worried, and asked Tan Yu, "Do you think the queen mother will agree?"

Tan Yu was very determined: "Don't worry. As long as she is not stupid, she will agree."

"Really?"

"Really. No one wants to harm their own interests for the so-called rules and regulations. Unless they are fools."

Such as those poor women who are brainwashed to be selfless for men (husbands or brothers).

This empress is obviously not stupid.

And having been favored by the emperor for so many years, I am afraid that he is unwilling to abandon the honor of this life for the sake of the traditional frame.

After all, it's different when it comes to vital interests.

Facts have proved that Tan Yu's guess is correct.

The next day, the queen called someone to pass on the princess and her son-in-law.

Tell me what to do?

Tan Yu was a little confused.

Princess Xiao Ling was also a little confused.

However, the two still didn't say anything, and entered the palace hand in hand.

Seeing the two coming hand in hand, the queen looked even more relieved.

At the same time, the thought in my heart became firmer.

"Mother."

After the young couple saw the ceremony, Princess Xiao Ling rolled into her mother's arms and started to rub.

"You're calling us here now because you're thinking about it, right?"

The queen smiled and touched her daughter's head: "You child, you are still so naughty at such an age, how can you be a mother in the future?"

"What?!"

"Mother Yitianxia?!"

Both Tan Yu and Princess Xiao Ling were shocked.

What's happening here?

The queen smiled: "Okay. I thought about it all night last night, and I also called your grandfather and uncle into the palace to discuss carefully. In the end, I think what you said is quite reasonable. However, since ancient times, women are emperors. Big taboo. In my opinion, it's better to let Yu'er... be the emperor."

"..."

Princess Xiao Ling and Tan Yuqi stared wide-eyed.

Can this kind of thing be handled like this?

However, the empress has already explained to herself: "Empress mother will not hide from you, I have considered this matter carefully. It is most suitable for Yu'er to be the emperor and Ling'er to be the empress. It is also the least frustrated."

So Tan Yu understood: this queen is shrewd.

The gains and losses of every step are calculated.

Indeed, in terms of the amount of frustration, it is indeed more cost-effective for Tan Yu to be in charge than Xiao Ling.

Because, from the perspective of the upper-level background, groups that are willing to support Princess Xiao Ling are also willing to support Tan Yu.Because the effect is the same.

Because Tan Yu doesn't have any family roots, so he can only rely on Princess Xiaoling's background to survive in a high position.Even if the surrogate wife takes the position, it only represents the interests of the general group behind it, and there is no essential difference from Princess Xiao Ling's position.

After they have children, they will eventually return to their common son.

From the perspective of ordinary civilians, Tan Yu has an advantage.

Because Tan Yu was not born a nobleman of the royal family, but a talented scholar from a poor family who passed the imperial examination.

This not only brought a lot of goodwill to the common people, but also made the common people more confident-after all, Tan Yu is a real number one scholar!And to be loved by the emperor to be called a son-in-law, he must also have outstanding abilities.

A monarch with the most talents and abilities is the blessing of every subject.

Therefore, ordinary people's acceptance of Tan Yu is definitely much higher than that of Princess Xiaoling.

What's more, Tan Yu is still a man.

Men's enthronement has always been much more acceptable than women's enthronement.

For a woman to ascend the throne, under the great environment of ancient times, she is risking the disgrace of the world.He was even insulted as "the rooster in the morning".

Therefore, in general, Tan Yu has a higher chance of winning than Princess Xiao Ling.

Frankly speaking, if you think about it pragmatically, this is the most cost-effective option.

However, Princess Xiao Ling is really not a pragmatic person.

Like, she had no interest in the throne.

However, when he thought that he would miss the throne because of his gender, he couldn't swallow that breath.

It's the same this time.

Her goal is not to ascend the throne, let alone grasp the supreme real power.

Instead, I want to argue for a truth to the whole world: women are no worse than men, and they are equally qualified to be emperors!

Therefore, even if her old mother explained the matter to this extent, she was still unmoved.

She and her mother have different starting points!

So, she smiled "hehe", "But, the son-in-law is also a woman."

"what?!"

The queen shook her hand.

Princess Xiao Ling smiled: "Didn't the queen hear clearly? The son-in-law is also a woman."

Even with the experience, the Queen's hands still trembled slightly.

"Are you kidding me?"

"How can this kind of thing be a joke?"

"..."

As a result, the queen's complexion became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tan Yu couldn't see it from the sidelines, coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "Well, the queen mother and son-in-law are indeed women. But son-in-law is sincere to the princess!"

This was an affectionate confession at first, but now it sounded unpleasant to the Queen's ears.

What the hell is it sincere?

The key is sincerity?The key is that you are a woman!

However, Princess Xiao Ling came over to support her: "Yes, yes, although the identity of the son-in-law is fake, but the relationship with the emperor is real! We really love each other!"

"!!!"

The queen didn't know what to say.

After organizing the language for a long time, at the end, he waved his hand feebly: Get out.

Princess Xiaoling and Consort Tan Yu also understood, and the young couple quietly left hand in hand.

Only the poor queen was left messy in the wind.

For Tan Yu, it was a victory for Tan Yu not to be prosecuted for the crime of deceiving the emperor on the spot by the queen.

Therefore, Tan Yu was in a good mood that day, and took Princess Xiaoling to teach on the spot again.

Well, it should be said that it was a review on the spot.

I just feel sorry for the queen, who spent a whole night digesting it, and then struggled to get someone to invite the princess consort again the next day.

So, the young couple came hand in hand sweetly.

The poor queen struggled to ask in a state of "sit up startled in a dying illness", "I've been thinking about your affairs all night..."

so what? ?

The young couple blinked their cute eyes, looked at the queen, and waited for her to continue talking.

However, the queen suddenly lost her strength when she looked at the pair of cute girls in front of her.

He waved his arm weakly again: "Forget it, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, the Queen Mother will support you anyway."

This is a complete abandonment of struggle.

Either way, let's just do it.

She didn't want to arrange it either.Anyway, man is not as good as God, and now that there are even female son-in-laws, then...let's resign ourselves to fate.

Anyway, she is a mother, she just stands behind.

With the queen's words, Tan Yu had a bottom line.

Eye to eye with Princess Xiao Ling, the two knelt down hand in hand: "After the curtain call!"

In the eyes, there is joy.

"..."

The queen looked at the restless little friends, then raised her weak arms and pressed her forehead.

Headache.

These two little friends don't know why they are happy?Do you think that with just one word from yourself, the world will be overthrown?

She doesn't have that confidence herself.

However, for some reason, seeing the young couple so happy, she couldn't help but feel a little more happy.

Well, anyway, it's always good to be happy.

Since the last time she was awakened by Princess Xiao Ling's words, the queen looked back on the difficulties in her life and realized the impermanence of life.

Since impermanence, then enjoy yourself in time.

Anyway, it's better to be happy than unhappy.

Thinking of this, the queen waved her hand again: "Okay, you guys go back first. Go back and think about it carefully, how to arrange it. Next, if you need my help, just tell me."

Princess Xiao Ling was told by Tan Yu a long time ago. At this time, according to Tan Yu's previous instructions, she asked: "Mother, let's go back. But, I want you to make a list for the emperors first."

"What list?"

The queen was puzzled.

"Of course they are people you can order." Princess Xiao Ling smiled, "That is, whoever is devoted to you, you list them for us, so that we can act according to circumstances."

This was decided by Tan Yu before.

I have already told Princess Xiao Ling in advance.

Princess Xiao Ling will come as soon as she speaks.

The queen was a little surprised.

She grew up watching Princess Xiao Ling, and she held it in the palm of her hand.Therefore, she is very clear about Xiao Ling's personality.

The current direction of Xiao Ling's character design is obviously different from before.

The former Princess Xiao Ling was notoriously stubborn.

Although the reputation of viciousness was deliberately released by that bastard Huanglong, but the savagery was true.Willfulness is also true.

When did she think about things seriously?

Looking at her reaction now, she really thought about it quickly, and quickly identified the crux of the matter.

Ask the most important questions.

She suddenly felt that her daughter had grown up.

As parents, the happiest thing is to see the children who used to worry about their hearts grow up.

Therefore, the queen was in a good mood and dipped in the ink directly, and wrote all of her cronies.

The mother didn't care about her daughter at first.

What's more, they are now doing a life-and-death matter together.There is no possibility of hiding it.

After all, she never thought of leaving her daughter behind if something happened.

At that time, it must be that if you succeed, you will succeed together, and if you fail, you will lose together.

King and loser.

Life or death.

There is no third way.

However, Tan Yu wanted to leave a way out for the queen.He also communicated with Princess Xiao Ling in advance.

Therefore, Princess Xiao Ling said to the Queen: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, when this is done, we will share the prosperity of the country; if it doesn't work out, you won't be implicated. Anyway, it will be the emperor who will contact these people from now on. The emperor will not will give you."

That was a good word.

The queen was a little angry when she heard this: "What are you talking about? Could it be that the queen mother will abandon you when you are in trouble? If you really think so, it would be in vain for me to love you."

As a mother who puts her daughter on the cusp of her heart, she is really sad.

Uh.

Princess Xiao Ling panicked.

I don't know what to say.

It was Tan Yu who came over and explained: "Mother, we didn't mean that. You love the princess, and the princess knows it. However, the princess is also very filial, and she loves the queen as well. If something happens, as a daughter, she doesn't want to involve you. "
