Chapter 288: Conferring the Title of Princess

The Queen Mother couldn't help but look up and frowned, "Isn't Marquis Dingyuan dead? His stepdaughter married the prince, who will the legitimate daughter Su Wan marry?"

The Queen lowered her eyes, how could she not know that the Queen Mother deliberately asked this question to pave the way for rejecting her proposal.

"Su Wan married a scholar and now moved to the capital. She has excellent medical skills and is known as a miracle doctor." The Queen did not play Tai Chi with the Queen Mother, and said directly: "Marquis Dingyuan and his wife both passed away. Su Wan made great contributions to the Great Zhou. I have discussed with the cabinet ministers to confer her the title of Princess Suiyang."

The Queen Mother's eyes turned cold and sneered: "The Queen has made a decision with the ministers. Are you here to tell me?"

The Queen smiled and said: "If your mother has no objection, I will ask the cabinet ministers to draft the decree."

"What if this matter needs to be discussed?"

How could the Queen Mother not know Su Wan?

She had a deep memory of Qi Min.

This woman caused Ji Xuan to break up with her mother and son.

After her death, Su Wan often went to the palace, was in the Queen's arms, and was engaged to the Crown Prince. If it weren't for Ji Xuan's manipulation, Su Wan would have married into the East Palace and lived a prosperous life. She was suddenly arranged to marry a farmer's son. I don't know how happy she was. It seemed that all the anger she had suffered at the hands of Qi Min came out at this moment.

Ji Xuan did not hesitate to disown her mother for Qi Min, and because of his hatred for Qi Min, he didn't want her daughter to have an easy life.

This was the best news the Queen Mother heard in the temple.

The news brought by the Queen now made the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

"This matter is serious. After tomorrow's morning court, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel and the cabinet ministers will stay to discuss the matter of conferring Su Wan as a princess again." The Queen Mother leaned sleepily on the big pillow and ordered to leave: "I am tired. If there is anything, we will talk tomorrow."

The Queen did not say anything and took her people to leave.

Leaving Ci'an Palace, standing in the sun, the queen looked up at the red walls and green tiles, and couldn't help thinking of the secret letter handed to her by Ji Xuan, which explained Su Wan's life experience.

Su Wan is the daughter of a prince, so she was originally a princess.

But this identity cannot be exposed, so she had to make a fuss from Xiliang and give Su Wan the title of princess. Although she has no power, her identity will not be despised by others, and she can be bullied by anyone.

The female official saw that the queen did not move, and her expression was disappointed. She couldn't help but worry more: "Your Highness, what if the queen mother doesn't agree?"

"She has to agree even if she doesn't agree." The queen must do it.

But after a moment, she sighed again.

Ji Xuan also explained in the letter that the envoys going to Xiliang this time were all his confidants, so he was not afraid of leaking what happened in Xiliang.

The queen of Xiliang was Qi Min, and she was going to canonize Su Wan as the crown princess before. Su Wan's identity was known to everyone in the capital. Someone with a mind guessed that the queen of Xiliang was Qi Min. It won't be long before the news that Qi Min is still alive will spread to the Great Zhou, along with her identity as the empress.

The empress couldn't help but have a headache. In their impression, Qi Min was the daughter of the female general of the Western Liang Kingdom, but they didn't know that she was the daughter of the empress dowager. So there is no time to lose, and Su Wan's title must be implemented when the news reaches the Great Zhou.

——

In a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of Mrs. Zhao.

That day, Gu Huaizhi got up early as usual to attend the morning court.

Su Wan dressed him personally, staring at Gu Huaizhi's elegant and beautiful face, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "You go out of the house first, and then go to the Regent's Mansion to change clothes for the court?"

Gu Huaizhi said "hmm" in a low voice, and pinched her neck skin with his fingers: "If I leave the Gu Mansion as Tingyuan, it will attract attention."

Su Wan's neck shrank when he pinched it, and she hid back: "Itchy, don't... um..."

His hand pressed her neck forward, softly touched her lips, and kissed her deeply.

Su Wan subconsciously wanted to hug his neck, but Gu Huaizhi let her go: "I have to attend the morning court today, don't call me." His fingers gently rubbed her lips, and his eyes darkened as he said, "See you later at the Zhao Mansion."

Su Wan curled her lips. Hasn't he called me enough? When has he ever been serious?

"Go quickly, don't be late!" Su Wan tightened his belt.

Gu Huaizhi smiled, fixed his belt and left.

Su Wan dressed up, had breakfast, and waited for the time to come. Carrying a gift and the pearl, she went to the Zhao Guogong Mansion.
