Concubine, she rises step by step

"Zhuoran is willing to promise to the empress. I only hope that the empress can keep her promise and avenge the Zhuo family!" Zhuoran knelt down, dressed in white, resolutely awe-inspiring!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

After Meng'er hurriedly checked, she looked shocked and hurried back.

"Girl, the emperor is here!"

Zhuo Ran was taken aback.

Sheng Yi was slightly startled.

Zhixia and Jianwu looked at each other and frowned, "This -"

Immediately, Sheng Yi reacted and asked calmly: "Miss Zhuo, where can I take shelter temporarily?"

Now that things have happened, Zhuo Ran has great admiration and trust for this ally. He stretched out his hand and looked into the inner room, "If you don't mind, Concubine Sheng, you can go into the inner room and take shelter."

Sheng Yi quickly walked in with Zhi Xia and Jian Wu, and then closed the door.

Here, Zhuo Ran tidied up his clothes, sorted out his thoughts, and told Meng'er: "Meng'er, open the door!"

At this time, Huo Jiheng stood calmly at the door.

Meng'er opened the door and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please come in!"

Huo Jiheng nodded and secretly cursed: Today's treatment is better than yesterday.

Then, Zhuo Ran also walked out of it, Fu Shen said: "The daughter of the people comes to see the emperor!"

Although it was not a heavy courtesy, it was not an overstep. Huo Jiheng thought in his mind that the treatment was better than yesterday. Being able to come in and sit down and have a good talk was progress.

However, these are all Huo Jiheng's inner dramas. He is in charge of the power of life and death for so many people. He has been in a high position all year round and has long ago developed his calmness and calmness.

"Get up."

Afterwards, Huo Jiheng sat down, while Zhuo Ran still stood.

"Sit down." Huo Jiheng felt that the next words required Zhuoran to have a calm mind.

Zhuoran didn't hesitate and sat across from Huo Jiheng gracefully.

"I thought about it for a long time yesterday. Since you want to avenge your father so much, and I can't immediately agree to your conditions, there is only a compromise that can satisfy your request!" Looking at Huo Jiheng's face, he seemed confident.

Zhuoran was also very curious as to whether there was any way to do both, so he asked softly: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Huo Jiheng looked at Zhuo Ran, who was pure and flawless, and said slowly: "The best way is for you to enter the palace and become a concubine!"

Zhuo Ran was shocked and subconsciously glanced at the inner room.

Sheng Yi in the inner room was also shocked, and couldn't help but feel unhappy secretly: I've tried my best to help you, but you're trying to attract love!
Huo Jiheng obviously didn't expect Zhuo Ran's reaction, "What? You don't want to?"

As the emperor, everyone wanted to pounce on him since he was a child, not to mention the long queue of women at the entrance of the harem. Who did he want that he didn't get?For a small folk girl to be able to enter the palace, it must have been the grace of her ancestral grave that was on fire.

Zhuo Ran looked at Huo Jiheng without being humble or arrogant, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She wanted to test whether the emperor was worthy of Concubine Sheng's good intentions, so she boldly asked a question, "The daughter of the people once heard that the emperor wanted to let Concubine Sheng When I entered the palace, I once threatened not to admit any more concubines into the palace, but is it true?"

Zhuo Ran's words immediately made Huo Jiheng's face darken, and Nalan behind him broke into a cold sweat.

Because of his face, Huo Jiheng replied calmly: "That's what happened."

At this time, Zhuo Ran's face was subtle and he asked: "Then -" No woman had ever dared to speak so bluntly. Huo Jiheng was suddenly very interested in this Zhuo Ran. He didn't mind Zhuo Ran's "fierceness" and patiently replied: "I am right." Empress Sheng Bin’s promise is always valid and she will not force you to do anything while you are in the palace. I also believe that if Sheng Bin can know the whole story, she will definitely understand my thoughts.”

Although these words expressed his love for kindness, they plunged himself into another question, "Then the emperor called people's daughters into the palace, didn't he waste their lives?"

Nalan said solemnly: "Miss Zhuo, you should know how many noble girls from aristocratic families may not have this opportunity! The emperor's plan will not only allow you to watch your enemies commit suicide with your own eyes, but the most important thing is that your life will be changed No worries!"

It’s not that Nalan is outstanding in PUA, it’s actually the fact that women in ancient times followed the three obediences: obeying their father at home, obeying their husbands when married, and obeying their sons when their husbands die. If they want to live well in such a patriarchal society, they must rely on men, and The most noble man in the world is the emperor.

Zhuo Ran met Nalan's gaze and asked: "Maybe becoming the emperor's concubine is the dream and pursuit of many noble girls from aristocratic families, but unfortunately, common girls are not such people..."

Nalan felt anxious, "You——"

Huo Jiheng immediately stopped him, "Nalan!"

Then, he solemnly said to Zhuoran: "I make this suggestion naturally because I want to respect your ideas. If you are willing to enter the palace and become a concubine, I will protect your glory for life; if you only want to see the great revenge be repaid, as long as you want Go, you can leave at any time, I will not force you."

This may already be Huo Jiheng's biggest bottom line.

However, Zhuoran just stared at Huo Jiheng, indifferently ignoring Huo Jiheng's proposal, until Huo Jiheng's expression gradually became serious.

"It seems that you are unwilling to hand over the things to me?" Huo Jiheng asked coldly.

Zhuoran cleverly replied: "A civilian girl has never said this. The emperor is a wise king of Dajin. I leave it to you. I think my father, Izumi, will be happy if he knows it. However, Zhuoran has to be cautious because he is burdened with the grievances of 95 people."

When Nalan wanted to say something else, Huo Jiheng stopped Nalan, "Well, Miss Zhuo has her own persistence, so naturally I won't force you. However, I still said what I said, no matter whether you give me this thing or not, Suo San is guilty and the Zhuo family is wronged. Once it is found out, I will still clear up the traitor without hesitation and restore the innocence of the Zhuo family!"

After that, Huo Jiheng's expression darkened and he told Nalan, "Let's go!"

This "negotiation" seemed to have failed on the surface, but Zhuo Ran truly felt the emperor's magnanimity and magnanimity. If this were applied to other monarchs, Zhuo Ran would have been dead long ago.

After a long time, Zhuo Ran said leisurely: "Ms. Concubine Sheng, please come out!"

Sheng Yi heard clearly from behind the door, and she also understood that Zhuo Ran meant to help her vent her anger.

"Ms. Concubine Sheng, it seems that the emperor still cares about you."

The corners of Shengyi's lips curled up, "Miss Zhuo is interested."

Saying this, I feel a little disappointed in my heart. Maybe this is a common problem among men in ancient times. They only hope that the women around them can always be considerate, but never take the initiative to discuss anything with them.

Fortunately, the man Sheng Yi met was just a bit chauvinistic. If he was really interested in sex, all his efforts would have been in vain.

"Empress, can Zhuoran ask you a question?" Suddenly, Zhuoran asked.

Sheng Yi, who was deep in thought, looked at Zhuoran with a clear face, "Say."

"What would you think if the emperor really wanted to bring a concubine into the palace?"

Sheng Yi thought for a moment and said: "Since he is the emperor, I have never expected him to favor only me. If the emperor really wants to accept a concubine into the palace, as long as the emperor needs it, I will not stop him!"

He looked so virtuous and sensible, which really made Zhuo Ran sigh that even a thoughtful person like the Concubine Sheng would obey the emperor like this. It can be seen that entering the palace is not a happy thing.

Sitting in the carriage, Sheng Yi was still thinking about Zhuo Ran's problem. Of course she hoped that Huo Jiheng would no longer bring concubines into the palace, but she kept reminding herself that Huo Jiheng was the emperor, and as long as he was the emperor, he would be subject to all kinds of things. With the restriction of power, it is even more difficult for him to truly be the only one favored.

There is only one way to solve this dilemma: she is so powerful that she is not just his concubine. At that time, it will not be a matter of trying her best to gain favor, but for Huo Jiheng to be able to call her "Mrs." with equal respect...
