Chapter 317 The New Candidates Of The Empress (Part Three)


    Could it be Yun Shang? Emperor Ning frowned. He wondered why Yun Shang refused to letdy Jin be


    the empress. From Yun Shang''s reaction in Lady Jin''s pce the other day, she hoped that emperor


    Ning would appointdy Jin as his concubine, and ifdy Jin became the empress, Chenxi would be


    the real crown prince.


    Emperor Ning pondered for a long time, but still didn''t figure out the secret. He shook his head and


    ordered, "telldy Ya and Liu Qiyan toe to the imperial pce."


    Lord Zheng nodded and went to open the door. When he was about to order the eunuch to do it, he


    saw Liu Qiyan standing in front of qinzheng hall. With an anxious look on his face, he said, "Lord


    Zheng, I have something to talk to his majesty. May I know if his majesty has time to summon me?"


    Lord Zheng smiled and said, "I was sent for Master Liu. Now, you are here on your own. This way, we


    won''t have to worry too much." While saying, he allowed Liu Qiyan to enter the room.


    "Your Majesty, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Mr. Liu standing at the door, asking to see you, so I


    brought him in." Master Zheng said with a smile.


    Emperor Ning nodded. As soon as he stepped into the hall, Liu Qiyan suddenly knelt down. "Your


    Majesty, my sister is born on the seventeenth day of may, but she is just from a rural family. Although


    she knows how to read and write because of our father, she cannot be the empress. As the empress,


    she should be virtuous and generous, but my sister doesn''t match with the empress'' status. Your


    majesty, please don''t appoint my younger sister as the empress. There are many people who were


    born on May 17 in the world. Someone must be able to take the responsibility. "


    There was a sh of surprise in emperor Ning''s eyes. Liu Qiyan was the elder brother of Lady ya, and


    naturally he knew her birthday. Moreover, as Master Wu Na and master Lingxuzi had mentioned the


    birthday party, they would know it wasdy ya. So, he asked for it. Wasn''t it a pleasure for ordinary


    people to hear that their young sister could be the empress? Why...


    Emperor Ning nced at Liu Qiyan and said, "although your sister is not ady from an eminent family,


    she is a reasonable person and behaves herself well in the pce. Why don''t you want her to be the


    empress?"

    Liu Qiyan smiled bitterly. "Lady Ya is my sister, and I know what kind of person she is. Besides, I''m a


    little bit proud and lonely, and I don''t have many friends in the court. If not careful enough, I can''t even


    protect her life. I just hope that my sister will be safe and happy. I don''t ask for more wealth. "


    Emperor Ning was silent for a while, thinking that Liu Qiyan was a sober man.


    While he was thinking, Lord Zheng came in. "Your Majesty,dy Ya is here."


    Emperor Ning nodded, "go ahead."


    The door was opened and Lady Ya came in. She was dressed in a green robe and covered with a


    green overcoat. Seeing Liu Qiyan kneeling in the hall, she was stunned. Then she walked to him and


    knelt down. "Your Majesty..."


    Emperor Ning nodded. He thoughtdy Ya might not know that the ceremony had just been over, so he


    said, "we made the worship today. Master Wu Na and Master Lingxuzi have divination, and the new


    empress should be the one born on the seventeenth of may in lunar calendar, and shall be in the


    southwest of the imperial pce."


    Lady Ya trembled with fear. She raised her head, and fell to the ground. "Your Majesty, please don''t do


    that. I don''t deserve to be the empress."


    "Really?" Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard what Liu Qiyan said, and so diddy ya.


    They shared the same character. "Tell me, why it is so difficult to be appointed as the empress? And


    who is the best suitable person in your opinion? "


    Lady Ya thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I''m just a woman from a farmer''s family. If people


    know that your majesty has married a woman from a farmer''s family to be the empress, they must be


    gossiping about me. And I don''t know how to be an empress. Your majesty, please consider it


    thoroughly." She paused for a moment and continued, "as for the choice of empress, I dare not make


    any judgement. But among all thedies in the pce,dy Jin is gentle and virtuous. Both of them


    treat her kindly. Besides,dy Jin was the daughter of the former grand tutor. She was born in a famous


    family, and now she has a little prince. That''s the first choice."


    Emperor Ning nodded slightly on the table, and his smile grew brighter. "Really? This is how you think?


    " He nced at the two brother and sister who were kneeling on the ground, and wondered what had


    happened.


    What Liu Qiyan and Liu Qingya said was true. Lady Ya was born at a low family, but her birth was very


    beneficial. At least, he didn''t need to worry about the power of the empress, and because of herck of


    the support of influential family,dy Ya and Liu Qiyan would take the responsibility more. Liu Qiyan is


    somewhat talented, but he doesn''t know how to change his mind. It is just because of his temperament


    that he doesn''t worry that he has a private party.


    As for Liu Qingya...


    Emperor Ning looked at the woman kneeling before him. Liu Qingya didn''t have much attention in the


    imperial household. She was ordinary, but gentle and considerate. She always made him feel rxed,


    and was unique in the imperial pce. Moreover, she was gentle and got along well with thedies in


    the pce. She was a smart girl.


    Lady Jin... Emperor Ning paused for a while. Although he likeddy Jin the most in the imperial


    household, she was definitely not the good choice of the empress. Lady Jin was cold and stubborn,


    and did not like the intricate struggles in the pce. At present, Yun Shang and Prince Jing were


    always a sore spot in his heart... He could protect her for a lifetime, with love and indulgence, but she


    couldn''t be the empress.


    Thinking of this, Emperor Ning smiled and said, "it''s hard for me to fight back, Mr. Liu. As you know, the


    officials and people all know that the ceremony was held on the altar, and everyone has witnessed it. If


    you don''t respect God, I''m afraid it''s hard for me to exin, and you don''t have to refuse to give up. I''ll


    issue an imperial edict to appoint your sister as my empresster..."
