Chapter 867 The New Queen 4
When Honored Princess Jing was asking, she sounded quite cheerful. She believed that as long as the Empress Dowager helped her, she would not have any difficulty in getting the request fulfilled.
She was aware that when the Queen was still alive, it would not be so easy to replace her, so she said nothing about getting the title. However, things were different now. The Queen was gone, and one month already passed, and Huailing had become the heir too. Therefore, it would just be a reminder to the King for her to take the title.
So since the Empress Dowager did the work of reminding him, the whole thing should be okay. The Empress Dowager always succeeded in whatever she wanted to do.
That was what Honored Princess Jing was thinking inside. Therefore, it was just the right time for her to get the answer.
The Empress Dowager looked at Honored Princess Jing who was wearing an expression of delight.
She showed no emotions inside. Instead, she said, “Honored Princess Jing, the King is a man with affection, so when he says he adores you, you should also understand that the Queen was in her position for more than twenty years, and he could not possibly be so ruthless. You will have to wait for a little while longer before he instates the new Queen.”
“You have waited for so many years, so you can wait a little longer. The Queen has just been gone for little more than one month, so he doesn’t want to be talked about it. Hang on until the end of this year, when I will find an opportunity to remind the King about this. By that time, I believe that the request should be fulfilled. The end of the year is a bustling time, and a great time to get a new Queen.” The Empress Dowager answered, consoling her.
Honored Princess Jing had been fully expectant for this matter, but she did not want her son to get uncomfortable. So she chose to sacrifice Honored Princess Jing.
However, she still needed to console her, so she gave her some hope.
Time passed by quickly.
Honored Princess Jing’s face froze – so the King still did not want to make her the New Queen? Why?
It was a promise the King made for her when she agreed to marry him as the concubine, because the Jiang Family was not to be offended at that time, and she felt quite annoyed to see Jiang Shuang getting endowed as the Queen back then.
And more than twenty years had passed since that time.
Now Jiang Shuang was gone, and the Jiang Family was not a threat for them, so why was the promise still not fulfilled? Why? Why must she be demeaned like this?
Honored Princess Jing looked at the Empress Dowager.
She could tell that the Empress Dowager did not think that it was of any importance.
Honored Princess Jing felt a bit frightened, all of a sudden.
“Honored Princess, I hope that you can think about the general situation, you are in a most advantageous position right now, with your son as the heir, and with the King by your side. Don’t dwell on this tiny matter any more.” The Empress Dowager reminded her seriously, seeing that Honored Princess Jing looked displeased.
She was the King’s woman, so she needed to have a broad mind and needed to think about the whole situation rather than just dwell on her own desires.
Honored Princess Jing had been behaving very well in the past, but she was changing just because Jiang Shuang was gone – that would not work.
Honored Princess Jing said, “Okay, I got it.”
She forced a smile. “I can wait until the end of the year, it is quite late, but...”
