Li Chen nodded lightly and said: "You are right, that's what I planned. The news of my father's death will be made public sooner or later, so I have to choose a suitable place to take the initiative to make it public, and then my father's death will be revealed to the public."
My ascension to the throne is closely connected, but the time is not right now, so I have to hide it for the time being, but once the time comes, I must do it in one step."
Zhao Qinglan looked up at Li Chen and said coldly: "You didn't have to tell me these things."
"Necessary."
Li Chen sighed and said, "I don't plan to canonize you as the Queen Mother."
Zhao Qinglan suddenly sat up straight and stared at Li Chen with cold eyes.
Li Chen seemed not to have seen it, and his tone remained calm, saying: "When the time comes, I will posthumously name my biological mother, Concubine Liu, as the Queen Mother, and sleep with my father."
The Queen Mother is not necessarily the Queen's biological mother.
When some emperors are born, their biological mothers do not have enough status, or they are from a humble background and are unable to provide for their descendants. Then when the emperor ascends the throne, he will face an extremely embarrassing choice.
Should he canonize his biological mother as the Queen Mother, or should he canonize the original queen as the Queen Mother?
Historically, due to different circumstances, both the former and the latter have appeared.
There are also very few cases where two queen mothers are canonized.
But no matter which choice it is, it is the ultimate insult to the woman who has not been canonized as Queen Mother.
Her position will be very embarrassing.
As for Zhao Qinglan, she may not care about the position of the Queen Mother, but what she really cares about is the purpose of Li Chen's move.
Li Chen's biological mother, Concubine Liu, was a concubine married to Emperor Daxing when he was still the crown prince. Her status is similar to that of Zhao Rui today, but Concubine Liu did not live long and died a few years after Emperor Daxing ascended the throne.
, and did not enjoy the blessing of mother being more valuable than son.
And for such a noble concubine who has been dead for more than ten years to be posthumously named Queen Mother while the queen of this dynasty is still here, it is an extremely unreasonable and political thing.
People like Li Chen always have their intentions in everything they do.
Zhao Qinglan knew very well that Li Chen did this deliberately. There was no other reason, let alone respect for his biological mother. There was only one reason that could be explained...
"Li Chen, you want to raise me to be your forbidden wife!?"
Zhao Qinglan was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "I made an agreement with you at the beginning that I would cooperate with you, but you can't force me. What does it mean now?"
Li Chen said calmly: "I regretted it."
Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Chen with wide eyes, and almost jumped up from his knees at Li Chen's confident words.
"Why are you so shameless!?"
Facing Zhao Qinglan's accusation, Li Chen immediately said: "I'm shameless, and you didn't know it until the first day?"
Without giving Zhao Qinglan a chance to get angry, Li Chen took a step closer, and the distance between the two was greatly shortened. Li Chen stared at Zhao Qinglan and said: "You and your father were originally connected because of politics. You entered the Fengxi Palace.
At that time, my father's health was already in bad condition. He was busy arranging funeral arrangements and making layouts, which exhausted all his efforts. He was not even interested in you at all. He didn't even look at you, and you were the same.
You only entered Fengxi Palace because of politics, so until now, let alone your first night, even your first love is still there, it’s just that your first kiss was taken away by me.”
Li Chen's bold words made Zhao Qinglan blush with anger.
"Shut up!"
