Chapter 246 I Can Also Rule the World (7)
But even so, the Queen was still worried as her daughter had been gone for ten years.
Fortunately, Feng Xiyu finally figured it out recently.
After looking at the abdication edict in her hand and the prepared list of concubines, the empress finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The fact that the Crown Princess has been able to live alone outside for such a long time shows that she must be very capable." Meng Shijun, a servant beside the Queen, glanced at the list of concubines and said, "But aren't there too few people in the harem?"
The Queen patted the other person's hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's more or less. If she likes it, she can find someone else. The four people in front of her are only temporary."
When she first ascended the throne, there were only four people, but now there are at least a dozen people.
The two were talking when they heard someone outside reporting, "Your Majesty, Young Master Qin Liu is outside asking to see you."
Shijun Meng pursed his lips and said nothing, but he still didn't like anyone interrupting his time alone with the empress.
The queen frowned slightly, not knowing why Qin Liu came to see her at this time, but after all, he was her godson, so she agreed to let him in.
Qin Liu now rarely wears plain clothes, changing from her usual red clothes. Even her favorite tasseled golden crown has been replaced with a plain headband.
This makes him look a little more heroic than before.
"What are you doing?" The Queen still understood her godson's preferences. "Are you in a bad mood today, Liu? Why are you wearing this?"
"Your Majesty." Qin Liu bowed first and then answered the Queen's question, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess favors Han Zhao. I think it may be because my previous clothes were too dazzling, so she didn't like them, so..."
"What's the big deal? There are so many people who like you. You don't care about A-Yu, right?" The Queen asked him while smiling and letting him off the hook, "What do you want to see me about? But you've already decided who to marry.
You are already grown up, it is time to pick one of the two from the Lan family and marry him. Time flies! You should cherish your time!"
Just this one sentence blocked Qin Liu's words.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave the palace now!" The Queen continued, "If you have anything to say, please come and talk during the day. Look, it's already dark.
Staying in the palace at this hour will damage your reputation to some extent."
He was about to send someone to ask Qin Liu to leave.
But Qin Liu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to her. The Queen's expression changed a little, and she said in a slightly cold tone: "Qin Liu, what are you doing?"
Qin Liu first pulled out a white jade hairpin from his sleeve, then held it in his hand and looked up at the empress: "Your Majesty, I came here this time to ask Your Majesty for a favor."
"Oh? What's the matter?" The Queen took a look at the hairpin and asked knowingly.
Qin Liu is the son of an old friend of the Queen, and this white jade hairpin was an agreement between her and Qin Liu's father.
This hairpin can be used to fulfill the other person's reasonable and legitimate wish.
The Queen and Qin Liu's father can be considered childhood sweethearts.
When she ascended the throne, she was going to make Qin Liu's father the empress, but he married a woman before the marriage decree was issued.
In fact, the Queen could understand this approach. After all, the Qin family had few members, and she could also understand the other party's reluctance to enter the palace.
This white jade hairpin was their token of love.
Qin Liu noticed that the empress looked at Bai Yuzhan with a hint of attachment. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I would like to enter the palace and serve the crown princess. Please agree, godmother."
"Why did your father agree to give you this hairpin?" The empress sighed and said, "Didn't he tell you that your Qin family has asked your brother Qin Yang to enter the palace to serve the new emperor?"
Qin Liu's father had three sons and three daughters, all of whom were outstanding people. Of course, the one with the best appearance and the most ostentatious was the eldest son, Qin Liu.
Qin Yang is Qin Liu's third brother. He is the same age as Ding Qiao this year, also seventeen years old. Although his appearance is not as handsome as Qin Liu, he is still young.
The Queen had no reason to be shy with her godson, so she simply handed him the draft list on the table.
On the piece of paper, the names of Qin Yang and Ding Qiao were circled, and the word "妃" was written next to them.
This means that the queen is still hesitating, and has not yet decided who will be the concubine and who will be the king between Ding Qiao and Qin Yang.
However, Han Zhao's name was clearly written on the paper, which clearly showed that she had been chosen as the empress.
"Qin Yang is not suitable. He has barely met the Crown Princess." Qin Liu kowtowed again. "If you allow me to serve in the palace, I am willing to give up my position as a concubine."
The queen looked at her godson in surprise. She understood his pride and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Qin Liu said firmly, "But please, Your Majesty, have pity on my love for you. Even if it's just a throne, as long as I can be with Ayu, I'm willing!"
