As the ministers witnessed Ding Yunfei's departure and the Queen Mother's rejuvenation, many officials who did not believe in ghosts and gods were shaken to their core. Naturally, the two matters of deposing the Empress and deposing the Crown Prince passed the court discussion smoothly.

A few opponents cannot resist the general trend.

That’s when the entire process is completed.

It will probably take half a month, so there is no rush.

As this matter was settled, Emperor Xuande brought up another matter, which was to bring Concubine Wu Xian and his son Zhu Qiyu back to the palace from outside the palace to receive education.

That's right, his youngest son Zhu Qiyu and his mother Concubine Wu have been living outside the palace. It's not that Emperor Xuande loved them so much that he protected them outside the palace. It was mainly because Concubine Wu's identity was a little bit different.

The problem was that he was the daughter of a sinner, and he didn't want to give her a place in the first place. Who knew that she was lucky enough to get pregnant quickly.

However, Emperor Xuande had few heirs.

It's not easy to just throw it away casually.

So I could only give her a concubine position and let her live outside the palace.

Originally, if he failed this time, he would probably take them back to the palace and ask his mother to help take care of them.

Now the prince is deposed.

Then it would be even more necessary to take the two of them back to the palace.

After all, he only had two sons in total. The prince Zhu Qizhen was deposed, but Zhu Qiyu was the only heir left.

No one objected to this matter.

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, Zhu Qiyu is almost the next confirmed heir. It is obviously a bit unreasonable to continue to live outside the palace, and if only he is accepted into the palace instead of his mother.

Wouldn't that offend the future mother and empress dowager?

So all the ministers agreed without any objection.

At this point, this grand meeting has ended.

As for the promise to allow the two princesses to have independent marriage, it is not easy to say it openly. Moreover, as long as the Queen Mother and the Emperor do not mate with each other, the two princesses have already obtained the right to have independent marriage.

In short, the two promises were successfully fulfilled.

…

Chang'an Palace, inner hall.

Ding Yun specially rejected all outsiders and pulled his daughter Shun into the small sutra hall, preparing to talk to her:

"Shunde, I have discussed with your father and the Queen Mother, and they have agreed to give you and your sister Yongqing the freedom to marry, which means that you can do it no matter whether you want to marry or not, or who you want to marry.

,So, Shunde, what are your thoughts now?

Tell me, and I will give you some advice!"

The focus of his original life is his two daughters, so Ding Yun naturally has to think more about his daughter's thoughts.

"Mom, I really need to worry about you..."

When Ding Yun said this, Shunde immediately understood that what her mother had done previously was probably a large part of her and her sister's marital autonomy.

For a moment, I was so moved inside.

But she quickly calmed down and smiled bitterly:

"You are kind-hearted, but in fact there is no need for you to worry so much for us, because even if my sister Yongqing and I obtain the so-called autonomy in marriage, it is difficult for us to have any autonomy. After all, we basically cannot see each other in this palace.

It is impossible for a few men to have free love like what is written in books like The West Chamber.

In the end, it was up to the etiquette department to select someone for us.

Those who don’t want to be the consort are still unwilling.

So the difference is nothing more than that in the past, the Queen Mother selected someone from that group of people, but now we choose from that group of people ourselves, but it is still the same group of people that we pick over and over again. So how big of a difference can there be?

If we make it clear that we are not willing, Her Majesty the Queen Mother will not force us and will choose what we like."

"Uh...Shunde, you don't have to worry.

I have also taken this into consideration, and I will go to discuss with the Queen Mother and others about leaving the palace after a while.

Anyway, since you are an adult, you can move directly to the Princess Mansion. Then you will have the opportunity to interact with people outside. I will help you carefully select the people you bring into the Princess Mansion, and they will never be disobedient.

.

I really can’t choose a princess that I want to learn from the Tang Dynasty.

It is also possible to raise some noodles.

Just don't go too far and save some face for your father, otherwise he will be furious!"

Ding Yun was certainly aware of Shunde's worries, but some things had to be done slowly. She planned to seek freedom for her daughter step by step.

Be independent in marriage first, and then be independent in action.

"Mom, why do you always say these things..."

Although Ding Yun often tells various stories to change Shunde's temperament, she has received the education of educating female officials for more than ten years, so when she heard Ding Yun mention the interview, she was still a little embarrassed and shy.

I don’t think it’s a word that can be mentioned openly.

"I know, I know, I shouldn't say yes.

You just need to understand what I mean. I’m not forcing you to imitate the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Do whatever makes you happy.

Now that I have achieved success in cultivation, I am completely different from the former deposed queen. I don’t need you to live a life of compromise. As you may think, reaching for the stars and the moon is a bit difficult, but other things are definitely not difficult for me.

Not only marriage, you can also talk to me about other ideas. As long as I can do it, I will talk to my mother."

Ding Yun looked at her shyness, smiled and patted her on the shoulder, then continued his gentle chat with her.

Want to know more of her thoughts.

"Mom, do you know?

A long time ago, what I have always wanted is actually power, because I feel that as long as you have power, you no longer need to flatter the Queen Mother, nor do you need to be afraid of Queen Sun.

But I don't know what rights I want.

It wasn't until later that you told me the story of Lu Wu.

It's a pity that I can't be them.

After all, there is no way I can become a queen."

Speaking of this, Shunde paused and said:

"Later on, I just wanted to get married early and grow up early, so that I might have the opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to let you out of the palace and let you live with me. Then we will live together in the Princess Mansion, and we should be able to have a little more freedom.

I don't know if this can be achieved.

But when it comes to this, what I actually want more is power. If I have power, I don’t need to rely on the pity of others to achieve my own ideas. Unfortunately, I am only a woman. If I were a man,

Maybe he can even compete for the crown prince position.

That way, no matter what my sister wants.

I can give it to her...

Even at the beginning, you would not have been deposed..."

When Shunde said all this, she did not mean that she wanted to become a man. She just lamented that no matter what she wanted, she had no real rights.

If you have rights, you don’t need to ask others to fulfill your wishes.

Even help people fulfill their wishes.

When Ding Yun heard this, he thought for a moment and replied:

"Maybe it's not impossible. Although it may feel difficult, we can try. If you really want to gain rights, we can try to see how the princess can be upgraded to a princess, or even become a queen.

Will we be able to get through this?"

"How will you know if you can succeed if you don't try?"

"Your father can live for another twenty years. Does this mean we have twenty years to prepare?"
