Chapter 842 There Are Two Reasons
Du Jinning's eyes are very beautiful, black and white are distinct, the eyes are like two black pearls in white mercury, shining brightly, it seems that they can catch people's eyes unconsciously.She has lost a lot of weight these days, and her eyes are getting bigger and brighter.At this moment, she looked over with wide eyes, looking extraordinarily agile and pure.

Zhao He's heart was suddenly hit by something, and it fell into her eyes.

Wu Gonggong seemed to have no sense of existence in the shade of the lamp, but he had been paying attention to the movements of Zhao Huo and Du Jinning.Earlier, Zhao Wei's expression was gentle and his tone was ambiguous, but he didn't feel anything, because when Zhao Wei treated those concubines in his harem, he would talk like this if necessary.

But at this moment, the emotion and obsession in Zhao Yu's eyes was something he had never seen before.Eunuch Wu was inexplicably flustered.As an emperor, once he falls in love, especially with a woman like Du Jinning, it is likely to bring disaster to the entire country.

His lips moved a little, wanting to speak to wake up Zhao Wei, but Du Jinning straightened his expression, lowered his eyelids, withdrew the aura from his eyes, and became the usual wise and calm Master Du again.

She knelt up straight, and bowed to Zhao He in a dignified manner: "Jin Ning, thank you for your appreciation. It is Jin Ning's honor to be so affirmed by the Emperor."

She raised her eyes, her eyes were clear and solemn, as if she was in the court where major national affairs were being discussed, her expression was extremely serious: "The reason why Jin Ning said this is because Jin Ning knows that what the emperor said does not involve the relationship between a man and a woman. , just appreciating Jin Ning is an affirmation of Jin Ning."

Zhao He knew that if it was said that there was no relationship between a man and a woman, but just now, he really fell in love with Du Jinning.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but he didn't want Du Jinning to give him a chance to speak, and continued: "But Jinning warned the emperor with a sincere loyalty, never say anything about letting Jinning enter the palace as a concubine. It is not good for the country and hinders the emperor's foundation for generations to come."

The words Zhao Yu was about to say got stuck in his throat.Eunuch Wu, who was standing in the shadow of the lamp, opened his mouth wide in shock, completely disbelieving that the words he heard came from Du Jinning's mouth.

How can anyone tell the king that he is a beauty and a disaster, which is not good for the country?Is this impatient to live?

Du Jinning continued: "Jinning said this for two reasons."

"First, Jin Ning was born in the countryside, and then went to school. After being selected as a scholar, he went to the county and lived in the dormitory of the academy. Later, he became an official in the court and often shared the same room with his colleagues. Women like Minnv, It’s fine if you don’t get married, but once you get married, the husband-in-law of a folk girl will definitely suffer a lot of rumors.”

"The emperor is the king of a country. Every word and deed must be recorded in history, and there is no room for criticism; the blood of the sons and heirs is even more unacceptable. A woman who does not obey the rules, enters the palace as a concubine, not to mention how the courtiers will stop her , even if he successfully enters the palace, he will definitely plant many disasters for the emperor."

Zhao Yu frowned.

Eunuch Wu's expression relaxed, and he nodded slightly: What Du Jinning said is very reasonable.

"Secondly, Minnv has never been greedy for power and has no ambition. Minnv's only wish is to do something for the people so that they can have enough to eat. Minnv is loyal to the Song Dynasty and the emperor. But what is the harem like? The place, the emperor grew up there since he was a child, and he is very clear about it. Even if a girl enters the harem, even if she is willing to live an honest life and does not fight for power and profit with others, once she gives birth to an heir, others will also involve the girl in the power struggle go."

She smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, and her whole person seemed more and more cold: "Minnv is not a little white rabbit who won't fight back when someone hurts her. If you want to use the brains of a minnv, if you really want to take over the world for your sons, how can you do it?" It's really not difficult."

She raised her head and looked at Zhao Wei: "Minnv heard that the emperor will soon make the eldest prince the crown prince. Although the minnv has never met the eldest prince, she has heard many times from her colleagues in the past that the eldest prince is smart and self-disciplined, and her heart is pure and kind." Such a child, does the emperor have the heart to let him endure the pain and torture that the emperor has suffered? Now that the aristocratic family is declining, it is time for the concubines from the aristocratic family in the harem to act cautiously in order to protect themselves. The emperor should not take this opportunity to tidy up the harem. Do you want to give the princes a safe environment to grow up? Throwing the daughters of the people into the pool and stirring up a storm is not what the emperor wants to see, right?"

Zhao He avoided her gaze and remained silent.

Du Jinning lowered his eyes, paused for a moment and said: "Besides, Minnv has her own heart and agrees with Qi Muyuan. Minnv begs the emperor to help us."

With that said, Du Jinning tidied up his clothes, bowed his knees and made a big gift.

When Eunuch Wu heard this, he gave Du Jinning a very appreciative look.

The last sentence is to step down the steps for Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu is a dignified emperor, even after being persuaded by Du Du Jinning, he knows that she must not be accepted into the palace, he can't just agree.Otherwise, didn't he admit that he was afraid of gossip, and that he couldn't even control women, and that the harem was disturbed by Du Jinning?He needs a step down.

Sure enough, Zhao Hu immediately climbed down the ladder.

He nodded slightly, and sighed a long sigh: "Duke Qi devoted all his energy to the court and is loyal; Qi Muyuan is also my capable servant; Jin Ning, you have developed high-yield rice for the Song Dynasty, and your contribution is indispensable. You Since Qi Muyuan and Qi Muyuan are in love, even if I feel reluctant to part with you, how can I selfishly bring you into the palace and make you feel regretful. Forget it, just pretend that I didn't mention it before, and you don't need to say it Let Qi's family listen to it, lest they feel discord."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Du Jinning saluted again, feeling relieved.

Eunuch Wu also let out a long breath.

He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Du... Although Du Jinning has been self-deprecating in every sentence just now, she actually thinks of the Great Song Dynasty in every word. Her loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty and the Emperor can be learned from heaven and earth. This kind of loyalty is not rewarded. It's hard to be fair. She can no longer be an official, and she doesn't want to enter the palace as a concubine. Why don't the empress dowager recognize her as a righteous daughter? ?”

This is also an old fox. He described Zhao Wenna and Du Jinning's entry into the palace as a reward for Du Jinning.When Du Jinning was unwilling, he gave Du Jinning the deal between Zhao Hu and Qi Bokun as a favor.If Du Jinning didn't know the inside story, he must have been moved to tears at this time, and vowed to do his best for Zhao Yu until he died.

Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Very good."

He stood up and said to Du Jinning: "Tomorrow in the hall, I will give you a marriage with the granddaughter of the eldest princess. At this time, you can admit that you are a woman. After that, I will make arrangements for you. Everything With me, don't worry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Jinning was grateful.
