Chapter 707 Everyone is helpless
Han Xuanchang looked gloomy and seemed a little powerless, walking on the empty square.
He vaguely felt someone coming by his side. When he turned around, he found that it was Fan Yunao, the Minister of War. Fan Yunao was still in a gentle manner, with a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "It seems that my in-laws have something to worry about?"
Han Xuanchang sighed and forced a smile: "Brother Fan has a lot of things recently. Do you still have time to talk to me? In the war between Wei Qing, the border of our Yan State will naturally not be peaceful. There are many military newspapers every day, right?"
Fan Yunao smiled and said, "With a general standing in the border, our Ministry of War is nothing more than reading the military newspaper, and there is nothing serious about it."
The two of them walked side by side to the outsider. Fan Yunao asked softly: "In-law, how are my precious daughter in the past few days? How are she eating a lot?"
"I'm afraid I'll be hungry for your daughter?" Han Xuanchang smiled and said, "In another seven or eight months, you will be your grandfather."
"You are also grandpa." Fan Yunao laughed and looked very happy, "But I'm talking about it first. If my baby daughter gave birth to a granddaughter for me, the Han family cannot give her any look. If you teach me that my baby daughter has suffered a little grievance in your Han family, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Han Xuanchang glanced at Fan Yunao and said, "Marrying to our Han family, I am from my Han family. Please stop talking."
Fan Yunao laughed and then said softly: "In-laws, the emperor appointed Concubine Shu as the queen... you don't seem to want to?"
Han Xuanchang frowned and said lightly: "No need to say more. Since the emperor has issued an order, we are ministers, so it is not easy to talk about it more!"
Fan Yunao looked calm, smiled slightly, and said no more.
...
In Changchun, Han Mo was enjoying the pastry that Concubine Shu had brought with her. After eating three pieces in a row, he stopped. He took the handkerchief handed by Ling Yan'er and wiped his hands. Then he smiled and said to Concubine Shu: "Sister, is this pastry specially reserved for me?"
"You think so beautifully." Han Shu smiled, "They couldn't finish eating, but they wanted to throw it away. Later, I heard that you were back in Beijing and knew that you would come here in the next few days, so I kept it waiting for you to eat."
Han Mo said with a bitter face: "Sister, are you treating you good Xiaowu like this?"
"Are you good?" Ling Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "If the Fifth Young Master is good, there will be no honest person in the world!"
Han Mo deliberately glared at Ling Yan'er and cursed: "It's big or small, is there a horse that talks to the fifth young master like this? I really don't understand the rules. Do you know that your fifth young master just received the title of the emperor today and is already the military commander of my Dayan Kingdom!"
Ling Yan'er showed joy and bowed repeatedly, "Congratulations to the fifth master, congratulations to the fifth master... No, no, congratulations to General Han, congratulations to General Han!"
Han Mo laughed, then looked at Han Shu, calmed down, and slowly said: "Sister, at the court meeting today, the emperor announced something. Do you... know?"
Han Shu was holding a tea cup to taste tea. When Han Mo asked this, he gently put down the tea cup and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully with a fragrant palm. He asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"The Lord... I want to make my sister the queen!" Han Mo stared at Han Shu: "I have announced to the court in the court."
Han Shu frowned slightly, then sighed quietly: "What is the reaction of the minister in the court?"
Han Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "Father objected, Master Xiao agreed!"
"Where is the uncle?" Han Shu stared at Han Mo: "What do you say about uncle?"
Han Mo shook his head and said, "Uncle didn't say anything, and he didn't say a word!"
Han Shu sighed lightly, without saying anything, and was silent for a moment before whispering: "Then do you think I should be this queen?"
"Sister can't choose." Han Mo said directly: "The emperor has issued an edict and has ordered the Ministry of Rites to start preparing for the enthronement ceremony. Master Xiao came forward to agree, and no other ministers in the court opposed it... Although my father opposed it, he was stopped by the emperor. The overall situation has been decided and cannot be changed!"
"I know it can't be changed." Han Shu said calmly: "I just asked you, should I be the queen...?"
Han Mo was silent for a moment before saying, "Since my father objected, it naturally makes sense. The old fox of Master Xiao agreed to his sister as his queen, so he had ulterior motives. Xiao Wu felt that the position of the queen did not seem to be a good thing."
Han Shu smiled faintly and said, "Why do you say that?"
Han Mo thought about it and said, "I can't understand the other principles for a while, but... if my sister becomes the queen, it will inevitably attract many people's jealousy. Those concubines may have to make things difficult for the second sister in secret!"
Han Shu smiled softly and said, "You can understand this, you are smart. Uncle San is against it, probably because he is worried about this, and he is afraid that once I become the queen, I will become the target of public criticism in the palace... He wants to protect me!"
Han Mo leaned on the chair and frowned and said, "There was no sign before. Why did the emperor suddenly want to make the second sister the queen?" He looked at Han Shu, "Did the second sister know before?"
"I don't know!" Han Shu shook her head and said.
Han Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "In this way, the emperor is... a whim?"
"Xiaowu, don't talk nonsense." Han Shu frowned and said, "You are not a child now. You must behave properly. It's okay to talk to me. If others hear it, it will cause trouble."
Han Mo nodded and said, "Xiao Wu knows." Then he asked softly, "Sister, are you... willing to be this queen?"
Han Shu said quietly, "Why don't you want to? The queen is the mother of a country and the lord of the harem. Which concubine in the harem is unwilling to be the queen? Who doesn't want to be the queen? For the position of queen, the women in the palace have all spent their time."
Han Mo smiled bitterly and said, "My second sister seems to be insincere."
Han Shu sighed and smiled bitterly, "Xiaowu, do you think that if someone else becomes the queen, I will live a comfortable life in the second sister?" Youyou said, "If other people in the palace become queens, they will certainly be jealous of the whole palace, but if the queen is the queen, it is always more legitimate to deal with the enemy. The eunuchs and maids in the palace are also snobbish. In their hearts, the queen and concubines are naturally willing to surrender to the queen's hands.
Next. If I don’t have a baby in my stomach, no matter who she is the queen, it has nothing to do with me. But... because I have the dragon seed of the saint in my stomach, no matter who becomes the queen, the first person to deal with must be me... Even if I have the saint cares about it, the saint will be busy with government affairs and cannot protect me all the time. The queen is the legitimate lord of the harem. If I want to be unfavorable to me at that time, I will have many followers under my command, so I will not be able to deal with it!"
Han Mo looked solemn, just listening quietly.
"For the sake of the child, I naturally cannot sit and wait for death." Han Shu said slowly: "The emperor is kind to him. I want to enthrone me as the queen. Although I know that once I become the queen, I will definitely become the public enemy of the harem, but... with the identity of the queen, even if they are the lord of the harem, they dare not deal with me openly. Even if they take action secretly, they have to weigh the consequences. Instead of letting others become queens and deal with me openly, it is better to become the queen myself so that they dare not move easily." She looked sad and smiled bitterly: "From the day when I got pregnant with the lord, I was destined to be a thorn in the eyes of those people in the harem!"
Han Mo frowned.
He could understand Han Shu's difficulties. Han Shu was originally a woman with an extremely gentle temperament. Before entering the palace, she didn't even dare to kill an ant, and she was very weak.
But after so many years of life in the palace, the pure and kind woman in the past gradually understood how to protect herself.
As a mother, the greatest wish is naturally to hope that her children can be safe, healthy and healthy. In this harem full of intrigues and traps, if Han Shu wants to be safe, she can only do some things that she is unwilling to do in her heart, and even use any means to deal with the enemy with more ruthless means than the enemy.
When Ling Yan'er saw Han Mo's expression was bad, she whispered: "Fifth Master, don't worry, even if Ling Yan'er is broken into pieces, she will protect the lady's safety!"
"Who wants you to be crushed to pieces?" Han Mo roared in a low voice, "I want you all to be well, no one can miss a hair!"
Ling Yan'er was startled by Han Mo's roar, and then she heard the concern in Han Mo's tone and couldn't help but feel very grateful.
Han Shu knew that such a topic was quite heavy, and put aside the topic, she asked softly: "Have you been with Xiaoqian in the past few days after returning to Beijing?"
"Yes!" Han Mo knew that he was a little disobedient, so he barely calmed down and smiled: "I went to the kitchen with my own hands yesterday and made soup for her!"
Han Shuyan smiled, "My Xiaowu knows that he loves his wife, that's true growth. Next year, you will be your father..." Youyou sighed, thoughtful, and said softly: "This time... is so fast!"
"Then you have to be your uncle first before you can be your father." Han Mo smiled and said, "The dragon seed in my sister's belly will come to this world in the spring next year. At that time, I will become my uncle first!"
Han Shu gently stroked her lower abdomen and smiled, "Is it so easy for you to be an uncle? But you have to prepare a gift, otherwise I won't let him call you uncle!"
Han Mo laughed and said, "Of course. Well, from today on, I, as an uncle, will start thinking about preparing gifts for him."
While the brothers and sisters were joking, a beautiful little palace maid reported outside the door: "Empress, Your Highness, bringing the Crown Prince to pay tribute to the Empress, and is waiting outside now!"
