Chapter 857

In the main hall, the empress and the few beautiful girls standing next to her all looked at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao frowned slightly, looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Your Majesty had a decree earlier that high officials of the third rank and above should enter the palace for election. Although you are the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Cheng En, your father is only a court official of the fourth rank. You are not qualified to enter the palace to participate in the election, and one more thing, even if you are qualified to participate in the election, your moral character and art are not good enough, so you will not pass here."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, Chen Yuan cried aggrievedly.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jiao was very tired. The reason why she didn't agree with Chen Yuan's entry into the palace today was because His Majesty ordered that only the daughters of important officials of the third rank or above could enter the palace for election, but the Chen family went through the Queen's back door. If Chen Yuan enters the palace after running for the election, His Majesty will definitely be criticized.

Secondly, Lu Jiao saw that Chen's daughter was not a good stubble, she was a troublemaker, and she was always pretending to be weak. If she entered the palace, the palace might not be peaceful.

Three times later, Lu Jiao guessed that the purpose of the Chen family sending the Chen daughter into the palace was to win over His Majesty and to separate His Majesty from the Xie family.

Lu Jiao didn't like the behavior of the Chen family very much. They planted a tree and they came to pick the fruit. According to the logic, their family raised His Majesty. As a foreign family, the Chen family should be grateful to their family. Serving the plate, she wanted to separate His Majesty and the Xie family, although Lu Jiao knew that the Chen family could not separate the relationship between His Majesty and the Xie family.

But she was disgusted by the behavior of the Chen family.

Originally, she didn't want to split with the Chen family. One of their families is the adoptive father and mother who raised His Majesty, and the other is His Majesty's maternal grandfather's family. If the two get along well, it will make His Majesty look good, but the behavior of the Chen family is really disgusting. People hate.

Lu Jiao also didn't want to compromise.

Next, Chen Yuan cried even louder after hearing Lu Jiao's words.

This time she cried and said loudly: "Mrs. Zhou Guo, in fact, you did this because you don't want His Majesty to get close to my Chen family."

Chen Yuan's words made the empress and the other four candidates for the election all look at Lu Jiao.

Several people quickly guessed the meaning of Chen Yuan's words. Could it be that Mrs. Zhou Guo didn't let Chen Yuan enter the palace because she really didn't want His Majesty to get close to the Chen family?

Lu Jiao smiled and said lightly: "Is this your Chen Yuan's thoughts, or the Chen family's thoughts? How about I order Mrs. Xuan Chengenhou to come into the palace and ask?"

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she ignored Chen Yuan, and directly ordered a eunuch at the head, "Immediately send people to the Chen family to announce the decree, and announce that Mrs. Cheng Enhou will enter the palace."

"Yes, Mrs. Zhou Guo."

The draft in the palace was suspended, and Chen Yuan looked at Lu Jiao, who was at the top, sobbing, and said sadly, "Mrs. Zhou Guo, our Chen family remembers your kindness to His Majesty, and we have no intention of taking credit for you. It is only because I like His Majesty that a woman enters the palace to run for election, please Madam Zhou Guo fulfill the obsessive admiration of my courtiers."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, she knelt down with a plop.

Lu Jiao sneered and said, "You like Your Majesty, does Your Majesty like you? If a random person says he likes Your Majesty, His Majesty will be included in the harem, how many concubines must there be in this palace, and if another His Majesty intends to let Chen When a daughter of the family enters the palace, why should the daughter of a high-ranking official above the third rank be named in the imperial concubine selection order?"

When Lu Jiao said this, she turned her head and glanced at the queen.

The queen's heart sank, and she realized that she seemed to have done something wrong this time.

The Queen's complexion was slightly bad, and she looked at Lu Jiao uneasily: "Ma'am, did I do something wrong?"

Seeing that she was pregnant, Lu Jiao didn't want to blame her, so she said flatly, "From now on, the Queen will do whatever His Majesty decrees. Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He keeps his promises. He must obey what he says."

The queen didn't dare to say a word. At this time, she also knew that she had made a mistake, and she had made a mistake in her previous thinking.

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, Chen Yuan thought that the queen was reprimanded by Lu Jiao because she wanted to help her. Chen Yuan immediately asked to help the queen.

"Madame Zhou, if you want to blame me, don't blame the queen. The queen is the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a role model for all women in the world. Choosing a concubine is the queen's business."

This is almost saying that Lu Jiao is meddling in her own business, the choice of concubine is the empress's business, Lu Jiao is overstepping her authority.

Lu Jiao smiled angrily, turned her head to look at Chen Yuan, and said slowly: "You mean that I have overstepped my authority by participating in the election of His Majesty? Then I want to ask you, a little fourth-rank official's daughter, how do you feel about the super powers?" Mrs. Yipin is so unreasonable, who gave you to rely on?"

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and soon she straightened her back and said: "Ma'am, what you said is wrong. I am not only the daughter of a fourth-rank official, but also the cousin of His Majesty."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Zhou Youjin's voice came in: "Your Majesty is here."

Earlier in the draft here, Xiao Wenyu had people pay attention to the movement here, so when something happened here, he received a report and rushed over.

After rushing over, Xiao Wenyu just heard what Chen Yuan said, and Xiao Wenyu laughed angrily. He strode in with several eunuchs.

Inside and outside the hall, when Xiu Nu saw him, they were all very shy, and they all knelt down and called out: "Your Majesty."

Chen Yuan turned around and saw Xiao Wenyu walking in, feeling a little flustered for a moment, then shyly looked at Xiao Wenyu and called: "Cousin."

Xiao Wenyu strode over and looked down at Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan looked at the handsome and dignified young emperor who looked like a god's mansion. She couldn't help but blushed and her heart was pounding, but what Xiao Wenyu said was cold. cold as ice.

"My cousin? Who gave you face?"

After listening to Xiao Wenyu's words, Chen Yuan raised her head in astonishment, and found that Xiao Wenyu's eyes were looking at her with cold eyes, which were as cold as sharp arrows, as if she wanted to hide and kill her.

Chen Yuan was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Xiao Wenyu ignored her and ordered directly: "Come here, drag her down and slap her. As the daughter of a fourth-rank court official, it is really audacious to dare to be rude to Mrs. Zhou Guo."

Chen Yuan didn't expect Xiao Wenyu to order her mouth to be slapped, so she couldn't help crying in fright, she knelt on the ground with a plop and begged: "Your Majesty, you can't let someone slap my mouth, I am your cousin, my father is your direct relative Uncle."

"I have treated my uncle generously, but he is still so dissatisfied. It's really shameless."

Xiao Wenyu knew the Chen family's plan when he saw Chen Yuan, and he just wanted more.

It's disgusting.

The Chen family was originally a small wife in Qili Town. Because of the honor of the mother who gave birth to him, he had already entered the capital all the way from Qili Town, and became the Marquis of Cheng En of the Great Zhou Dynasty. , Just like that, I still want more, and most importantly, I want to separate him from the Xie family.

The Xie family raised him, they came to pick the fruit, and even wanted to take away all the plates when they were done. The Chen family is probably the most brazen person in the world.
