Pick up a princess

Chapter 445 New Year (21)

"Everything my father did was to allow the prince to stabilize his foundation and successfully sit on the throne, and the biggest obstacle was probably Concubine Gong! Concubine Gong offered to let Tong Zhi marry the prince. Isn't the father afraid that Concubine Gong will be in the crown prince's place?" Are you cultivating your own spies and pawns by your side?" Shen Qing couldn't figure it out, Emperor Ming's thoughts were too deep for her to guess. "What's more, it's not surprising that Tong Zhilun could become the crown prince based on her status and appearance. If the emperor was satisfied with her, he would have let her marry the crown prince long ago, right?"

Emperor Ming clapped his palms and laughed, his tone became more cheerful. "You are really smart! My decision naturally has my reasons... Hongxuan did reject my proposal to let him accept a concubine, but Tong Zhi was the one who agreed! What's more, I have already agreed, how can I say that?" And no letter?"

Shen Qing just felt her heart beating wildly. She thought of many reasons and prepared the leverage to negotiate with Emperor Ming, but she still didn't expect... Hongxuan actually agreed to accept Tong Zhi as his side concubine!

Or maybe he rejected others, but he couldn't reject his childhood sweetheart Tong Zhi?
The normally flexible mind suddenly failed to function. Shen Qing opened her mouth, wanting to argue something, but no matter how much she said, it seemed that all of them were blocked.

That bitter taste hit her heart quickly and accurately.

She always felt that she didn't understand Emperor Ming, but now it seemed that she didn't even understand Hongxuan.Hongxuan is not hypocritical to himself, so what about him to Tong Zhi?Is there also a feeling of reluctance?

Seeing that Shen Qing, who was originally eloquent, turned dark, he also guessed a little bit in his heart, and calmly persuaded him: "I said that although you are smart, you still can't understand all kinds of disputes in the palace... Don't worry about it anymore, you will understand one day in the future!"

Shen Qing's thoughts turned back and forth, and even though there were thousands of words in her mind, they finally turned into two sentences: "Father, you said that some people must be sacrificed to secure the throne, so the queen back then was also one of the victims." What? Have you ever regretted it?"

Emperor Ming's expression froze, Shen Qing talked about his pain, but he didn't get angry, just shook his head with a wry smile: "Regret? As an emperor, I have no room for regret... I just look forward to the next life, to be a happy freedom people!"

Shen Qing fell silent.

It is said that women are trapped by the palace, but how can a majestic king not be trapped?
