As soon as the emperor said this, there was a little chaos in the hall, and there were a few exclamations. However, thinking that the queen had been thrown into the cold palace for several months, and now Concubine Rou was found again, so for the emperor's this The decision is not too shocking.
Almost everyone looked at Concubine Rou.
Concubine Rou was also shocked when she heard the emperor's words. She never expected that the emperor would ask this question at this time. What exactly does he mean?
You raped her yesterday, but today you want to give her the title of queen to make up for it?
Did he think that she would care about the Queen?
She never wanted to fight for the position of queen. What is the use of the position of queen? Or to other women, it represented infinite glory and beauty, but to her, it was an irony.
Even if she became the queen and became his only wife, but he was the same, he still wanted to share the rain and dew.
So, she never wanted to compete for that seat, she didn't want to before, and she doesn't even want to do so now.
Although she was very surprised at the moment, she didn't react too much, she still lowered her eyes slightly, but with one hand, she slightly clenched her bosom on the table, feeling a little nervous, if the emperor really How can she refuse to push her to the position of queen?
Everyone was stunned when they saw Concubine Rou's reaction, what a glorious thing this concubine is, why is Concubine Rou not happy at all?
Concubine Ming and Concubine Mei looked into the eyes of Concubine Rou, showing jealousy one after another, but they also knew that no matter how angry or hated they were, they would not be able to change this matter, and they were also very clear about the emperor's feelings towards Concubine Rou. pet.
Concubine Liu was also secretly stunned, but there was still a slight smile on her face, with a casual expression of neither dispute, anger nor complaint, it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with her.
The emperor's eyes swept over everyone slightly, seeing that Concubine Rou was still calm and unresponsive, his eyes sank involuntarily, but he still said in a deep voice, "I have decided to make Concubine Rou as my concubine." After that, do you have any opinions?"
In that deep voice, there seemed to be a little bit of anger, but also because of the little anger, there were a few more shocking majesties.
At this time, who dares to have an opinion?
And this matter was a matter of course. It is only natural for the queen to be deposed for doing such a thing, not to mention that the queen's family has fallen now.
Concubine Rou is a princess of the Wind Clan. She met the Emperor on the way back when he went out to war. It is said that the Emperor went to the Wind Clan to beg for marriage in person. brought back.
However, the Feng Clan did not have much contact with the Xuanyuan Dynasty, which is extremely puzzling.
However, no matter how you say it, Concubine Rou is also an upright and obedient princess, and the position of queen should have belonged to her in the first place.
The smile on Concubine Liu's lips froze slightly, but it spread quickly.
When looking at the emperor, there was still that faint, soft chuckle, as if she was very supportive of the emperor's decision.
When the emperor met the chuckle on her face, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He also knew that she had been gentle and virtuous for so many years, but he could only give the position of queen to Concubine Rou.
It's just that he didn't see Concubine Liu's hand under the table, but it kept tightening, tightening, and the bulging veins were shockingly terrifying.
Concubine Ming and Concubine Mei both had angry and ruthless expressions on their faces. Even if they had guessed this kind of result earlier, now that they heard what the emperor said, they would be so cruel that they would tear Concubine Rou apart.
Meng Fuying was slightly startled, and suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart, because she felt that today's Concubine Rou was really a little strange.
His hands subconsciously clenched Xuanyuan Ye's hand, and that palm seemed to be slightly sweating.
"What's the matter?" Xuanyuanye was stunned, looked at her slightly with his eyes, and asked softly. In fact, he had already guessed that the emperor would talk about this matter today, so he was not too surprised. I don't care about the queen's position, but since I am in the harem, it will be a matter of time.
"I..." Meng Fuying was about to say something, but at this moment, the emperor said again, "Since everyone has no objection, then I..."
"Wait a minute." Before the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Rou suddenly stood up, and her slightly drooping eyes slowly lifted up, looking at the emperor.
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, what did Concubine Rou mean when she interrupted the emperor at this time?
However, Meng Fuying's heart sank suddenly, and that bad premonition spread even more, holding Xuanyuan Ye's hand, she couldn't help trembling slightly, she could guess that Concubine Rou stood up at this time , is what you want to do.
She knew that if Concubine Rou was just indifferent to each other in the past, and the emperor proposed to be crowned empress, even if Concubine Rou was a little reluctant, she would not refuse, but today is different.
Today's concubine Rou is too cold, too cold, so cold that she doesn't even pay attention to her. Moreover, she feels a kind of hopeless sadness in her slightly stiff body. She knows that something must have happened last night. What happened, something happened that made her desperate.
So, she knew that Concubine Rou would never agree to today's conferment.
It's just that, on such an occasion, if you reject the emperor outright, the consequences...
Xuanyuan Ye's body froze involuntarily, he really did not expect that Concubine Rou would...
"What do you want to say?" The emperor's face darkened obviously, and when he looked into her eyes, his anger quickly overflowed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said with a slight threat, "This is the place in the hall. Now, before you speak, you'd better think twice."
When everyone heard the emperor's words, they were even more shocked. The emperor seemed to have guessed what Concubine Rou was going to say.
There was a faint smile in Concubine Liu's eyes, and the tightly clenched hands under the table also slightly loosened.
However, she immediately concealed all the emotions on her face, and looked at Concubine Rou in astonishment.
Concubine Rou smiled slightly, ignoring the emperor's threat and anger at all, slightly parting her red lips, and said slowly, "I don't want to take this empress position, please the emperor appoint someone else."
Her voice is very soft, very soft, but it has a firmness that cannot be ignored.
She endured for too long, endured too much. Originally, she wanted to continue to endure for Ye'er and Fu'er, but what happened last night made her unable to bear it any longer. She didn't want such a thing to happen again.
As soon as she said this, the entire hall was in an uproar.
"Concubine Rou, this is not the time to be willful, hurry up and sit down." The Queen Mother also froze slightly, and shouted again and again.
"Sister, please sit down quickly and stop making trouble." Concubine Liu stood up, gently pulled her, and persuaded her in a low voice.
Concubine Ming and Concubine Mei were completely stunned at first, they were stunned and didn't recover, but when they saw Concubine Liu going to persuade Concubine Rou, they were even more stunned, and then looked at Concubine Liu viciously.
This woman is stupid, she doesn't want to be the queen concubine, so don't they all have a chance?
Meng Fuying secretly took a deep breath, and faintly felt Xuanyuan Ye's hand stiffen, but Xuanyuan Ye didn't say anything, and there wasn't much abnormality on his face, just deep in his eyes, There is a certainty.
Meng Fuying was startled, and suddenly understood what he was thinking. Since Concubine Rou had already taken this step, he would help Concubine Rou no matter what.
In my heart, I felt a little bit more relieved and moved. This man looks indifferent on the surface, but he is a man with a true temperament.
He will not sacrifice those closest to him for his throne.
The emperor's face was completely gloomy, even a little dark, and there was an unconcealable anger in his eyes. Concubine Rou was in this hall, rejecting him so much?
"You are a noble concubine. On such an occasion, you actually say such things? This time, I will treat you as self-willed. You sit down first." The emperor tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said slowly .
"Then I implore the emperor to divorce me." Concubine Rou raised her head slightly, but her eyes were lowered slightly, and there was a kind of renunciation in her low voice.
Suddenly, the entire hall was boiling instantly. As the emperor's concubine, she didn't want to be a queen, so she asked the emperor to divorce her in public?
Is this woman crazy?
Meng Fuying was stunned, but she admired Concubine Rou even more in her heart. She really couldn't believe that an ancient woman, a weak woman, dared to say such words to the emperor.
Actually, if it was her today, maybe she would...
Xuanyuanye's lips pursed slightly, but he still didn't say anything.
The queen mother was also completely shocked, but at this time, she couldn't say anything more. She was afraid that if one of them failed, it would anger the emperor even more.
The face of the emperor has completely turned black. No matter what he did, he never thought that she would make such a request and ask him to divorce her...
"I think you are crazy, come and take Concubine Rou down." The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and roared angrily.
"I'm not crazy, I'm very sober now, please the emperor divorce me." But Concubine Rou said softly again, every word was so tight and clear.
"Sister, what crazy words are you talking about? We are all the emperor's women, how can you say such things." Concubine Liu pulled her and said hurriedly, with anxious and worried faces.
But the bottom of my heart is already happy.
"I'm leaving, you are the queen, very good." Concubine Rou glanced at her slightly, and then smiled lightly. There was not much emotion in that voice, as if she was talking about the most common thing. thing.
Because, she doesn't care anymore.
"Sister, what are you talking about, my sister has never thought that way." Concubine Liu was stunned for a moment, and said extremely aggrieved.
"Okay, very good, I did what you wanted, and made Concubine Liu the empress." The emperor, who was already so angry that he was about to vomit blood, became even more furious when he heard Concubine Rou's words, and couldn't help but said in a harsh voice .
Concubine Liu was slightly stunned, as if she was completely stunned all of a sudden, and she stood there for a long time without recovering.
However, Concubine Ming and Concubine Mei suddenly opened their eyes wide, looking at Concubine Liu in disbelief, and said that Concubine Liu is the lowest-status among the four concubines.
Originally, she was just a little maid next to the first queen, who was also the prince's biological mother. Once the first queen was unwell, she seduced the emperor, and later she became pregnant with Longzi.
The queen originally wanted to deal with her, but because she was pregnant with a child, the emperor already knew about it, so he didn't dare to do anything to her.
She can only be assigned another courtyard and let her wait for delivery.
Not long after, the first queen came out with good news. Later, the first queen gave birth to a prince, but her child died at birth.
However, later on, the emperor favored her again, because she has always been extremely virtuous and never argues, so she is very much liked by the emperor.
After the death of the first empress, the emperor unexpectedly promoted her, and often went to her place, and was promoted again and again until he was promoted to Shuyi.
However, after Concubine Rou entered the palace, the emperor no longer visited her often. She has always loved Concubine Rou very much.
When Concubine Rou first entered the palace, the emperor was in the soft heart palace almost every day. At that time, all the women in the palace were dissatisfied, and each one was secretly making noises, but only Concubine Liu was still extremely quiet, so the next noble concubine died. Later, the emperor made her a noble concubine.
but. Although they are all imperial concubines, they look down on Concubine Liu. Now that the emperor has allowed Concubine Liu to be the queen, they must be dissatisfied.
"Okay, then please ask the emperor to divorce me and let me out of the palace." Concubine Rou seemed to be slightly relieved when she heard that the emperor was going to make Concubine Liu, and then said softly again.
"Don't even think about leaving the palace, since you've entered the palace, don't even think about going out again." The emperor's eyes sank, he stared straight at Concubine Rou, and said harshly.
"Come here, put Concubine Rou into limbo." The emperor suddenly turned to the guards on one side, and said again harshly.
Concubine Rou's slightly drooping eyes, a slight smile spread across her eyes, what she wanted was just this kind of result, she naturally knew that it was impossible for the emperor to really divorce her and let her out of the palace.
So, she just wanted to annoy the emperor and let him put her in the cold palace.
She knew that what she did would affect Ye'er, but this time, she wanted to be selfish, and she believed that Ye'er would not blame her.
Xuanyuanye's body froze suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to get up, but Meng Fuying quickly pulled him back, "This is exactly what the concubine mother wants, if you are worried, we will find a way to make the concubine mother want it later." The concubine is out of the palace. If you come forward now, it will only make things worse, and I'm afraid it will push the concubine mother to the point of the knife even more."
She is also a woman, so Meng Fuying can understand Concubine Rou's thoughts at the moment. She knew that this was exactly what Concubine Rou wanted.
However, she once again secretly admired Concubine Rou's thoughtfulness.
If Xuanyuan Ye came out to stop it at this moment, then all of Concubine Rou's plans would be shattered, and at that time, Concubine Rou would most likely have to compromise for him.
The reason why Concubine Rou did what she did today must be due to extreme despair, otherwise she would not be so reckless.
So, she didn't want to embarrass Concubine Rou.
If the emperor has feelings for Concubine Rou, even if he is in the cold palace, it will have no effect; if he is ruthless, it will be useless even in front of his eyes.
Xuanyuan Ye was startled for a moment, looked into her eyes, something flashed slightly, and then held her hand tightly, very tightly, very tightly.
Several guards were stunned for a moment, seeing that Xuanyuan Ye didn't respond, they walked up to Concubine Rou, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Rou, please."
The queen mother sighed secretly, looking at Concubine Rou with a bit of distress in her eyes, why is she bothering?
Xuanyuanye held Meng Fuying's hand tightly again, and looked at Concubine Rou who was walking slowly with his eyes, and there was a heavy feeling in those deep eyes.
But when Concubine Rou looked at him, she smiled slightly, in relief, with a bit of approval and a bit of relief, and he was glad that he didn't stand up just now.
As Fu'er said, this is really what Concubine Mu wanted, and if Concubine Mu didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, then he would find a way to get Concubine Mother out of the palace.
After the guards took Concubine Rou down, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy. When he looked at Xuanyuan Ye, he even showed obvious anger, as if he was blaming him for not standing up, but Xuanyuan Ye had a flat face , nothing happens.
Just now he said that he would make Concubine Liu the queen, so at this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Concubine Liu.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is the queen. The Ai family disagrees. She comes from a humble background, so she really can't convince the public." The queen mother's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said slowly.
She couldn't stop Concubine Rou from entering the cold palace, but she could stop it, and she also knew that what the emperor just said in a fit of anger.
What she said now is just to find a way for the emperor to step down.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, what he said just now was indeed out of anger, and he followed Concubine Rou's words. Although Concubine Liu has been extremely virtuous this year, her status is too low after all, and after so many years , there has never been a male and a half female.
If you want to make her queen, the ministers in the DPRK and China will definitely not agree.
It's just that he just said it again, when he looked at Concubine Liu with his eyes, there was more guilt in the depths of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is right. The concubine was born as a court lady. If she became the empress, wouldn't she want to make the world laugh at the emperor? The concubine appreciates the emperor's favor, but the concubine does not want to embarrass the emperor, let alone embarrass the emperor. Your Majesty was laughed at, so please take back what you just said." Concubine Liu looked at the Emperor with gratitude and tenderness on her face.
"It's rare for you to be so sensible, and it's rare for you to be so considerate of me. Let's discuss this matter later." Finally, there was a faint smile on the emperor's gloomy face, and he said softly. At this moment, the emperor also took into account Concubine Liu's face, he only said to choose another day to discuss, and did not say that he would not make her queen.
"My concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Upon hearing what the Emperor said, Concubine Liu saluted slightly, and said gratefully, but there was obvious hatred in her slightly drooping eyes. One day, she will get the Queen's position.
However, now is definitely not the time, so she just said that on purpose.
The emperor looked at Concubine Liu with more approval.
"Since the emperor said that we will discuss it later, Ai's family will go back first. Ai's family is a little tired after sitting for a long time." The queen mother sighed secretly again, said softly, stood up slowly, and walked out go.
"Respectfully send off the Queen Mother." The emperor also stood up and saluted slightly.
"Ye'er, Fu'er, you all go back with Grandma Huang." When the Queen Mother walked in front of Xuanyuan Ye and Meng Fuying, she stopped slightly and said softly.
"Yes." Xuanyuanye and Meng Fuying agreed one after another and left with the Queen Mother.
"Ye'er, are you feeling sorry for your mother and concubine?" After walking out of the hall, the Queen Mother turned slightly to Xuanyuan Ye and asked in a low voice.
She knew that Ye'er had deep feelings for Concubine Rou, so she was a little surprised that she didn't come out to stop her today. There was a slight pause in the words, and he added again, "Your concubine mother is a smart person, she must have known that there would be such consequences in doing so."
This is also the reason why she didn't stop the emperor. She recently discovered that Concubine Rou's temperament is a bit like that of Ying girl. She was afraid that if she stopped Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou would do more extreme things.
"Since it's what my concubine wants, why should Ye'er be sad." Xuanyuan Ye was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice.
"It's best if you think so." The queen mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced at Meng Fuying with her eyes.
"Grandma Huang, Fu'er wants to go see the concubine mother." Meng Fuying has been a little absent-minded since she left the hall.
Some worries about Concubine Rou.
"Well, let's go." The Queen Mother agreed very readily.
"I'll go with you." Xuanyuan Ye also said again and again.
Meng Fuying frowned slightly. If Xuanyuan Ye followed, there were some things that Concubine Rou would not have said, so she just wanted to refuse.
"Ye'er, take Grandma Huang home." The queen mother said at this time, obviously, she also saw the strangeness of Concubine Rou.
"Yes." Although Xuanyuan Ye was also worried, but he couldn't refuse when the empress dowager said so, and helped the empress dowager to Heshou Palace.
And Meng Fuying quickly went to the cold palace.
Lenggong is divided into east and west courtyards, the queen is kept in the east courtyard, and those guards brought concubine Rou to the west courtyard. The conditions of the fourth courtyard are obviously much better than those of the east courtyard.
Moreover, there are no other concubines in the west courtyard.
When Meng Fuying went, the guards had already left, Concubine Rou stood in the yard and did not go in, the faint moonlight shone on her body, making the beautiful her more hazy and elegant, as if she was about to run Followed by the moon.
Meng Fuying lightened her steps slightly, walked in, and stopped when she got behind Concubine Rou.
"Fu'er, you are here." Concubine Rou didn't turn around, she asked softly, there was also a very ethereal feeling in that voice.
"En." Meng Fuying responded in a low voice, seeing her like this, really felt distressed, so distressed.
"Fu'er, concubine mother wants to leave this palace." Concubine Rou still stood there quietly without turning around, and finally there was more truth in that faint voice, and a little more looking forward.
She really wants to leave the palace now, really wants to. She knew that her leaving might have an impact on Ye'er, but she was afraid that if she stayed here again, she would wither little by little until she died.
Moreover, Ye'er has grown up now, he has absolute ability, he can control everything, and there is no need for her to compromise.
"Okay, Fu'er will definitely take Concubine Mu out of the palace." Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Fuying said firmly, even if she risked beheading, she would help Concubine Rou out of the palace.
Because, she knew that if Concubine Rou stayed in the palace again, she might...
Of course, if she wants to do it, she will definitely make it seamless, so that no one will find anything unusual, nor will the emperor suspect it.
