This move to hear about the controversy can be said to be unprecedented.

There was chaos in the hall for a while, but even so, Wen Zheng still made a decision.

And held a banquet in the palace to welcome the two champions.

The action was sent down to the common people in an instant. Except for those who were displeased in the hearts of those who could speak up in the court, all the officials and soldiers down to the common people clapped their hands and applauded.

Nowadays, public opinion is put first, and the people are naturally happy.

The newly promulgated official regulations stipulate that if the people are dissatisfied and go up to heaven, they will never be hired as officials, and the nine families and three generations of the family will not be allowed to enter the court.

Such a move surprised the people.

But in the court, the soldiers in the army are eager to try, who doesn't want to win a good official position for themselves.

Dawen ushered in the most lively enthusiasm for joining the army, and all men who reached the age wanted to enter the barracks for a try.

After promulgating the new measures, Wen Zheng went to Ye Chu's palace to accompany Ye Chu and the little prince.

Ye Chu also heard about the new things in the court, but she knew that Wen Zheng would not talk about political affairs after the court, so she kept her mouth shut.

In the harem, Ye Chu would always answer when political affairs were mentioned. On weekdays, Ye Chu would chat with him about ordinary things.

"Tonight's champion reception banquet, take the emperor with you." Wen Zheng said while teasing the little prince.

Ye Chu frowned, quite puzzled, "Isn't today a celebration banquet for the two champions? Why did you take the emperor away?"

"Empress, don't worry, I just took this opportunity to let everyone get to know the emperor. A few days ago, all the officials were busy with the scientific examination, and the birth of the emperor was rather neglected."

"Your majesty, the emperor is still young, so you don't need these empty things."

Wen Zheng seemed not to have heard what Ye Chu said, and smiled lightly with his lips curled up: "That's it, when the banquet starts at night, let the nanny take the emperor away."

Qin Xinrou got the news that Wen Zheng was going to take the little prince to the dinner from nowhere, and felt a little anxious.

At the celebration banquet, hundreds of officials gathered, could it be that the emperor wanted to use this to announce the establishment of the crown prince?

She will never allow such a thing to happen. If Ye Chu's child is made the crown prince, she will have no way to pull Ye Chu down from the queen's position!

Qin Xinrou's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and she soon had an idea. It seemed that she hadn't gone to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay her respects for a long time.

Qin Xinrou hurriedly prepared some snacks and carried them to the Queen Mother's palace.

Since the queen mother found Qin Xinrou's things in the palace last time, she has not been very friendly to her.

Qin Xinrou came in with a snack, quickly opened it and brought it in front of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, this is a famous snack in the south of the Yangtze River. The concubine even specially made a bowl of peach blossom jade wine, the emperor thought it was good, why don't you try it ?”

The queen mother raised her eyebrows, just glanced at the food box and then moved away, not saying to eat or not to eat, "Shu Concubine just say anything, this is not a place where you can play tricks .”

A look of embarrassment flashed across Qin Xinrou's face, but in order to prevent the emperor from establishing a crown prince, she had to report it to the queen mother today.

"Queen Mother, the concubine is indeed here for something."

The queen mother snorted softly, with a clear look, "The Ai family knows that Concubine Shu will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing."

Qin Xinrou bit her lips, but still explained her intentions, "The emperor wants to use the celebration banquet tonight to establish a prince. The concubine just hopes that the queen mother can persuade the emperor. This is against the ancestral system. Did not directly establish a prince."

The Empress Dowager's brows were furrowed tightly. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she did not believe Qin Xinrou's words, "How did you know that the Emperor's banquet will be the appointment of the crown prince!"

Qin Xinrou lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "When the concubine's maid went to the clothes measuring bureau, I heard what the embroidered lady in the clothes measuring bureau said. The embroidered lady is busy today, that's because the emperor asked embroidered lady to rush Made a set of clothes for the little prince, saying it will be used tonight. The concubine thought, tonight is a celebration banquet for the two champions in the scientific examination, and the little prince will attend, so the emperor must have arranged it himself."

"It's just nonsense! The emperor wants to use the celebration banquet to appoint a prince, it's so unruly!"

Qin Xinrou stood aside and did not dare to make a sound. Seeing the queen mother's angry appearance, she thought that the celebration banquet tonight would definitely not go according to the emperor's wishes.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Qin Xinrou found a reason to retreat.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager could not question the Emperor directly, so she had to wait for the celebration banquet in the evening to make a decision based on the situation.

Before the celebration banquet started, the queen mother saw that the nanny appeared at the celebration banquet with the little prince in her arms.

The Empress Dowager looked a little unhappy, it seemed that what Qin Xinrou said was true.

The banquet started, all the officials were seated, Wen Zheng and Ye Chu also sat at the top.

Wen Zheng announced the start of the banquet, and the Queen Mother continued, "Today we are celebrating the achievements of the two champions, and all the officials congratulate them. The Ai family is also happy to have the emperor's grandson, so I will let everyone meet today."

The queen mother looked at the nanny, apparently asking her to carry the baby over.

The nanny didn't know what to do, but saw that Ye Chu had already nodded to her.

Only then did the nanny dare to hug the little prince, but she didn't hand it to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother continued, "This can be described as double happiness, but today is mainly for the celebration of the two champions. The Ai family didn't want the emperor's grandson to disturb this interest. Since all the officials have already known, let the emperor and grandson of the Ai family go first. Let's rest. After all, the child is still young, and the wind is blowing outside, and Ai's family is very distressed."

The queen mother had spoken, and the nanny had no choice but to take the child back.

After finishing speaking, the queen mother looked at Wen Zheng again, her mouth was slightly upturned, as if she was a loving mother, "Your Majesty, is it okay for the Ai family to arrange this way?"

Wen Zheng frowned, the queen mother's actions obviously made him stop the idea of ​​establishing a prince.

It's just that in front of all the officials, he can't let the queen mother lose face, "What the queen mother said is that it is windy at night, and it is really not suitable for the little prince to stay outside. It is the queen mother who is considerate."

The matter of setting up the crown prince was turned over for the time being.

But Ye Kang smelled something tricky in it. It was clear that the queen mother wanted to stop the establishment of the crown prince.

Ye Kang's eyes turned among Wen Zheng, Ye Chu, and the Queen Mother, and he had already had an idea in his heart.

As far as he is concerned, it can be said that there is no harm in establishing a prince, so he naturally wants to support it.

On the second day when he went to court, Ye Kang sent a few students under his sect to talk about the establishment of the crown prince. It was not the best choice for him to come forward in this matter.

It is a great thing to establish a prince in Yefu, so naturally he can't start it.

In the court hall, the prince's words were said together, and many people echoed them.

Of course, these are not all Ye Kang's people, a large part of them are because they know that Wen Zheng has the intention of setting up a prince, and they agree with it, nothing more than to curry favor with Wen Zheng.

The courtiers advised the establishment of the crown prince, but the queen mother refused.
