Rebirth after waste

Chapter 31

"Ashu, you already have a title, but..." The emperor looked thoughtful.

Ming Chongyi caught a glimpse of the emperor's expression, and said with a light smile: "The concubine knows that His Majesty cherishes Sister Zhen, but Sister Zhen's title was bestowed by the Empress Dowager, if it is changed now, it may be disrespectful to the elders."

Everyone looked at each other without making a sound.Everyone knows the meaning of the title bestowed on Jing Fushu by the Empress Dowager.She probably wanted to get rid of this word a long time ago, but Jiang Yuechang would not let her go when she saw an opportunity today.If she is really allowed to succeed, the two of them will have a big relationship.

Either way, let them fight, and he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

The emperor glanced at Ming Chongyi with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

"Your Majesty." Zhen Jieyu suddenly stood up and bowed down, "As Sister Jiang said, the concubine's title is bestowed by the Queen Mother. If Your Majesty changes it, it will easily cause criticism. The concubine does not want to be a concubine because of her own body. Make it difficult for His Majesty. Besides, the concubine doesn't think there is anything wrong with this title."

"You mean, there is no need to change it?" The emperor looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

"As long as Your Majesty thinks that the concubine is worthy of this title, then there is no need to change it." Zhen Jieyu looked at the emperor softly with eyes like water.

Gu Yunxian was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood her intention.

The Empress Dowager gave her this title at the beginning as a warning, but now that a year has passed, this title has long been known to the world, and it doesn't make any sense to change it or not.It is even more likely to cause criticism if it is changed now, making people feel that although His Majesty dotes on her, he still cares about her former status in his heart, thinking that she is not worthy of the word "Zhen".

What she is doing now is to take this opportunity to let His Majesty bestow this word on her again.From different people, through different channels, completely changed the humiliating meaning of this title.

"You are right, this word suits you very well." The emperor smiled slightly, "There is no need to change it."

Zhen Jieyu smiled, like a spring breeze blowing through the valley, prompting many mountain flowers to bloom.

Everyone at the banquet was shocked by the divine development of the plot, and didn't know how to react.

The emperor didn't seem to notice the expressions of the crowd, he looked at Zhen Jieyu for a while, and then turned his gaze to Gu Yunxian, "Yunniang, what title do you want?"

Gu Yunxian smiled and said: "Your Majesty can decide."

"I have several words in my mind just now, but I don't think they are suitable enough." The emperor said softly, "Looking at you now, I got a word in my heart, I just don't know if you like it or not."

Gu Yunxian just looked at him and didn't answer.

"'Yuan', how?"

Yuan, beginning also.The first wife, the first wife to marry.For women, this is undoubtedly the most enviable status.Because no matter how powerful a man is, even if he is rich all over the world, even if he owns all the women in the world, there is only one first wife.

It is unique.

And put it in the harem, it has a deeper meaning.A symbol of noble status, inviolable majesty, and the unique favor of the king.

The air seemed to be stagnant, and no one spoke.In other words, no one dared to speak.

Compared to Jing Fushu, Gu Yunxian's title is truly earth-shattering.She was obviously officially conferred the title of Jieyu, so she was demoted to be a concubine.But His Majesty gave her such a title again!Isn't he afraid of blurring the status of the concubines in the harem?Or did he do it on purpose, to show the courtiers and the harem that although he failed to restore the Gu family as queen, in his heart, she was still his only wife?
Jing Fushu only felt as if someone had stabbed her chest with a sword, making a huge hole.The bitter cold wind poured in, and the internal organs were twisted together in pain.Every bone in her body began to feel cold, which made her almost breathless.She remembered the winter when she was 15 years old, she ran out from her uncle's house wearing only thin clothes.There were crowds of people on the street and the sound of gongs and drums. She was told that today is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marrying the Crown Princess.She was like a puppet, she could only watch the man approaching her on a tall horse.He was dressed in a crimson robe, with a spirit like jade, and a loose smile on his lips, just like the day they first met.This is the man she fell in love with at first sight, and whom she longed for, but after today, he is someone else's husband.

She looked at the fiery red sedan chair behind him, as if she could see the woman in wedding dress sitting inside through the gorgeous curtain.

For the first time in her life, she felt deep hatred.

At that time, she swore that she would let that woman experience her pain today, and she would win back her sweetheart!

Then she really succeeded.After years of planning and planning every step of the way, he was only one step away from completely getting rid of the woman who caused her to suffer so much.

But why?Why is he like this?Why can't he stay away from her according to her will, but treat her so well?
She didn't expect it, she didn't expect it from the beginning to the end.How could he do this, how could he do this!
"I asked you how you are, why didn't you answer?" On the other side, the emperor stared at Gu Yunxian and asked in a low voice.

Gu Yunxian looked at him for a while, his butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, "Concubine... Concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

He smiled slightly, his eyes full of tender affection.Under the flickering candlelight, he has handsome features and a gentle expression, not like an emperor ruling the world, but more like a romantic nobleman.

Gu Yunxian stared in a daze, only to realize that his gaffe had been seen by him after he reacted, his bewildering black eyes were full of jokes.

"If Yunniang likes it, can I find a time for you to see enough?"

"Your Majesty!" She couldn't restrain the annoyance in her tone.Although there are no foreign ministers, but after all, he is so frivolous in front of the concubine, it is almost...

Everyone looked at the two of them chatting and laughing in low voices, describing their intimacy, and it was difficult to distinguish the feelings in their hearts.With a smile on her lips, Yu Shuyi stared at Zhen Jieyu who was opposite, and there seemed to be joyful emotions flowing in her beautiful phoenix eyes.

The banquet was almost here, Yu Shuyi said with a smile: "I don't know where Your Majesty is going to rest tonight? Is it Yuan Jieyu's place or Zhen Jieyu's place?"

Ming Chongyi sneered inwardly.With Shen Zhuyang's appearance, she really regards herself as the mistress, which palace will be arranged by her when His Majesty goes down?Or did she think that now that the harem is the most respected by her status, they all have to be under her control?Nothing makes people laugh out loud.

"Sister Shen, why did you only mention Zhenjieyu and Yuan Jieyu in what she said? Maybe your majesty is not sure if you want to go to my sister's place. Your majesty is too embarrassed to mention it when my sister says that." She covered her lips and smiled. "Or maybe there are so many sisters here, but they all look forward to His Majesty's mercy!"

Seeing that Ming Chongyi's words were thorny, Yu Shuyi smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly, "I don't dare to hope for a day like the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Sister Shen doesn't dare to expect extravagantly, then no one in this harem dares to extravagantly." Ming Chongyi laughed.

According to the rules of the country, every new moon is a day for Emperor Xing Zhonggong, not to mention the festival such as Mid-Autumn Festival, it is absolutely necessary to go to Jiaofang Palace to spend the night.So in the past, it was Gu Yunxian who spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor.But now Gu Yunxian is no longer a queen, and no longer has such power.Ming Chongyi's words at this moment obviously meant to ridicule Gu Yunxian.

"I didn't even say a word, so you just shared it?" The emperor lazily said, "Unfortunately, there have been a lot of affairs in the court recently, and I have to go back to the Dazheng Palace to approve the papers in a while, and I have no time to spend with your concubines." Good night."

Ming Chongyi didn't expect him to answer like this, and was at a loss for words.On the contrary, Gu Yunxian had a smile on his lips, and his voice was soft, "It's a rare festival, and His Majesty still has to work hard for state affairs. The courtiers and concubines live in the harem and eat their salaries for free, and I feel really ashamed."

The emperor gave her a funny look, "Who says you are free? Take care of yourself, don't worry me, and do your duty."

Gu Yunxian smiled and said, "No."

The emperor pondered for a while, and said again: "Before I entrusted Zhuyang to take care of the affairs of the harem, you did a good job. But since next year is the year of the general election, there are many and complicated things, I am worried that you will not be too busy Come, let me send you a helper."

Yu Shuyi's heart tightened.After Gu Yunxian was abolished, Shuyi, who was the most respected and the earliest in the family, took over her power to be in charge of the Six Palaces, and cultivated a lot of power in the past six months.Seeing that the wind is going smoothly, he said this now. Could it be that he wants to give Gu Yunxian the right to assist the six palaces?
"Yue Niang." The emperor looked at Ming Chongyi, "I see that you have become a lot more capable in the past two years, so let's practice with Zhu Yang."

Ming Chongyi was overjoyed, hurriedly got up and walked to the hall, bowed his head and bowed, "My concubine, thank you for your kindness. From now on, I will be diligent and cautious, and I will live up to your majesty's great trust!"

"This is the best. In the future, you must remember not to be so impatient."

Lu Chuan said something to the emperor at the right time, and he smiled slightly, "Okay, I have to go. You guys continue to play."

Everyone rushed to send off the holy driver, and when His Majesty walked away, Ming Chongyi smiled enviously at Gu Yun: "Congratulations to my sister. Yuan Jieyu, the meaning of this title is really the best in the palace."

Gu Yunxian could hear the sarcasm in her words, and smiled lightly, "Really? Maybe the concubine is used to it, so she doesn't think it's so strange."

Ming Chongyi's face changed slightly.

Gu Yunxian's words clearly said that she was used to being a queen and a regular wife.Now that His Majesty has given such a title with profound meaning, these concubines feel very jealous, but she, the former mistress, only thinks it is commonplace.

How arrogant it is!

Their conversation was originally whispered, and no one nearby heard it.Seeing Ming Chongyi's ugly face, Yu Shuyi smiled and said, "What are Sister Jiang and Sister Gu talking about? Why is Sister Jiang's face so ugly?"

Gu Yunxian turned his head and said with a smile: "The concubine is congratulating Ming Chongyi. I am very happy tonight, and I have won the right to assist the Six Palaces."

Yu Shuyi's eyes turned cold when she heard this, and she looked at Ming Chongyi with a half-smile.

Ming Chongyi said indifferently: "No amount of joy can compare to Yuan Jieyu."

"Why do we fight for this?" Gu Yunxian looked leisurely, "Tonight is an auspicious day, all six palaces are blessed with grace, and all sisters are the same." Looking at Zhen Jieyu, "What do you think? Sister Zhen. "

Zhen Jieyu met her gaze and smiled slightly, "Sister Gu said so."
