The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 91 Full of Glory (1)

As the air gradually solidified, Jiaorong took a deep breath, held the piece of rice paper in his hand and twisted it into a ball, looked straight into the emperor's eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Your servant is fine, please leave first." .”

After saying that, Jiao Rong curtseyed to the emperor, turned her head and was about to leave.But the second she was about to leave, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and raised his eyebrows, and said softly: "You don't want to know, what is the poem I wrote on that paper?"

Hearing this, Jiaorong's footsteps paused slightly, her eyelashes twitched lightly, she turned her head after being stunned for two seconds, and said coldly: "This servant comes from a humble background and has no culture, even if the emperor reads it to you The servants listen, but the servants still can't tell the difference between high and low. It can be seen that the emperor and the servants are not the same kind of people, and it is impossible to insist on blending into the same road."

After saying that, Jiaorong ignored the emperor, and left the main hall of Qianqing Palace, leaving behind an incomparably chic back.

It was not until a long time after Jiaorong left that Liang Jiugong dared to walk in slowly with his whisk. He kept his head down, not daring to look at the emperor's face at this moment.He could hardly remember how many times the emperor was rejected by Jiaorong. The girl Jiaorong has a strong temperament, and he really couldn't figure out why the emperor only loved this one, and he didn't know if he could control it.

However, with Jiao Rong's character, if the most powerful and capable emperor can't control it, I am afraid that there is no man in the world who can match him.

Liang Jiugong swallowed, struggled for a long time, and began to say: "Your Majesty, don't push Miss Jiaorong too hard. She has such a temper. If you continue like this, she might do something."

Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly with an extremely dull complexion, and glanced at Liang Jiugong with raised eyelids, which directly shocked Liang Jiugong's goosebumps.The emperor looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You didn't give me this bad idea today. I was also busy with government affairs for a while, so I forgot that she couldn't read Chinese characters at all."

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong pursed his lips, his face was extremely embarrassing, he buried his head even lower, and respectfully admitted his mistake: "Yes, yes, all mistakes are the fault of slaves, the emperor will beat and scold you, But don’t get mad at yourself.”

"What is there to be angry about?" The emperor said these words indifferently, then looked at the memorial in his hand, and said in a very calm voice: "Come and go, she is just a court lady. This is the Forbidden City. In my world, what I want her is just a matter of words."

Hearing the emperor's words, Liang Jiugong felt something was wrong, "Emperor, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing." The emperor replied very crisply. He dipped the thick ink on the inkstone with a brush and ordered: "Go to Chengqian Palace tonight."

It was much clearer tonight than before, the emperor was already very tired after approving the memorials for a day, and he and Concubine Yi took a rest after a while.Just when Concubine Yi closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the emperor's soft call: "Lingxi."

Hearing this sound, Concubine Yi's eyes opened instantly.When she gets along with the emperor in private on weekdays, the emperor seldom calls her Concubine Yi, and usually calls her by her boudoir name Lingxi. Perhaps in the emperor's heart, she is more regarded as a maternal cousin to take care of, rather than An emperor's concubine.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Concubine Yi slightly turned her head, looking at the Emperor without knowing why, her voice sounded like a grandmother whining because she was about to fall asleep.

The emperor didn't feel sleepy at the moment, he was looking at the ceiling of the room, his eyes were filled with a combination of blur and flickering light, he said slowly: "I have something, I want to discuss with you."

Regarding this, Concubine Yi's drowsiness eased a bit, she stared intently at the emperor's handsome profile, and said softly: "You just say it's okay."

The emperor glanced at Concubine Yi slightly, his thin lips moved slightly, and the words he said seemed a little uneasy: "Zhen... I want to accept Jiaorong."

The moment she heard this, Concubine Yi's eyes suddenly became strong, she stared at the emperor for a long time, her expression didn't change at all, and she blurted out only one sentence: "Have you asked Jiaorong what she thinks? "

Hearing this, the emperor withdrew his gaze and twitched his eyelashes twice, obviously unable to answer Yifei's question.He was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "If I obey her wishes, I guess I can only wait until nine years later to see her get married."

Concubine Yi blinked, and looked away, her face was a little cooler than before, and her voice was not so gentle: "The emperor doesn't want to see Jiao Rong go out of the palace to marry after nine years, but how can the emperor guarantee that? Now that I have accepted Jiao Rong as my concubine, I can love her for nine years like I do now."

The emperor didn't seem to expect that the most gentle concubine Yi in the past would say such a thing, and was a little stunned for a while.

Just when the emperor was thinking about how to respond to Concubine Yi's words, Concubine Yi sighed slightly and closed her eyes silently: "You are the emperor, although you can do everything according to your own ideas, but out of benevolence, you should Thinking about the future for others, if Jiaorong becomes one of the concubines, she may look extremely dazzling and favored at present, but you need to take a picture, if Jiaorong will no longer be loved by you after a few years, then What will she be like then?"

Concubine Yi softly mentioned a few names as she spoke: "Whether Ma Changzai will be reduced to a tool for the continuous heirs of the royal family, or will fall into an even more horrendous situation like Li Promise, do you dare to imagine?"

Although Concubine Yi's tone was always gentle and tender, the strength in her words was full of pearls.She herself is a tool sent by the family to the palace, without freedom and life of her own, so Concubine Yi would rather say something bad to the emperor than want Jiaorong to become what she is now.

These words indeed reached the emperor's heart, and he remained silent for a long time.Indeed, he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, looking down on all people and things in the world, how long he can last a person's novelty, he himself does not know.

After a long time, the emperor's eyes darkened a little, and he said again: "But have you ever thought about how it will improve her family if I accept her? There are not many people in the Wuya clan, but They are all high-ranking officials in the court, and they have been waiting for an opportunity to raise the flag for many generations, if I accept Jiaorong, it will be full of glory and a bright future for the Wu Ya family."

Concubine Yi also pursed her lips tightly when she heard this.She only cared about Jiaorong's own happiness, and didn't worry about Jiaorong's family at all. There are so many things she can get from becoming a concubine, so much that she can't tell which is more important, family happiness or personal happiness.
