Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 136 Bestowing a Concubine

Xia Muyao was uneasy, and also afraid that because she provoked Emperor Jianyuan to have a grudge against Yu Chengchi, she hurriedly bowed her head and said in awe, "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of my concubine. Mu Yao didn't expect the position of concubine extravagantly. I also hope that Your Majesty will not feel unhappy with the prince because of the position of a concubine."

Emperor Jianyuan took a deep breath, smiled and said: "Concubine Xia, you are overthinking, I just casually asked what King Cheng meant, that's all."

Ever since Youhuang sat down, Princess Tonghua's gaze has been on where he is, hearing the debate between Emperor Jianyuan and King Cheng over whether to give Xia Muyao the title of Concubine, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze , smiled and said: "Father, my son feels that it doesn't matter so much whether the position of the concubine is given or not."

"Oh?"

Emperor Jianyuan looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you say that? Do you think that Concubine Xia's paintings are not good enough?"

"It's not that Concubine Xia's drawing is not good."

Tong Hua shook his head and smiled lightly: "I just think that although Concubine Xia's paintings are good, they are not as mysterious as Mr. Youhuang's song "Autumn Water Dragon Sing". Just now Mr. Youhuang played a song, It is the most beautiful jade flute solo that I have ever heard in my life, and I think it is more appropriate to give this gift of a wish to Young Master Youhuang."

With a calm expression, You Huang cupped his hands to Emperor Jian Yuan and said, "I'm just helping Concubine Xia, and I hope Your Majesty will reward Concubine Xia."

Emperor Jianyuan became embarrassed, turned his head to look at the queen mother, and asked, "Who does the queen mother think it should be given to?"

"Today is Tonghua's birthday, why do you have to make the atmosphere so heavy because of such an incident?"

The Empress Dowager let out a sigh of relief, and laughed: "Since Tonghua has opened his mouth, then all of them will be rewarded."

As soon as the queen mother finished speaking, Xia Ningxi put away her sloppy attitude, sat upright, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Grandmother, father, it stands to reason that Ning Xi, as the sister of Xia's side concubine, really shouldn't speak for Xia The side concubine spoke. But today it is very difficult for my elder sister to perform in front of so many people, if the empress dowager and Your Majesty do not give a reward that suits the occasion, it is really unreasonable."

After a pause, she looked calmly at Yu Chengchi: "As for what the emperor said about worrying about the Xiahou Mansion's power, Ning Xi felt that this was a very inappropriate self-deduction for our Xiahou Mansion. The hat of playing power. People who don’t know may think that my father really has some disobedience. Emperor uncle, do you think our Xiahou Mansion can afford such a big crime?”

Yu Shengchi's calm eyes immediately set off a turbulent wave, his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his veins protruded.

Xia Ningxi continued with a calm demeanor: "Furthermore, my elder sister married into your royal residence. She is a first-class duke and daughter, but she is relegated to the position of side concubine. Ning Xi would like to ask, in the eyes of the emperor, my father Lord Xiahou is so insignificant in your eyes? Or is it because Ning Xi married into the East Palace, which made the emperor feel that the Xiahou Mansion can no longer be vacillating and has a grudge, so he only allows my elder sister to be a side concubine? bit?"

"Princess Concubine, what you said is too presumptuous!" Emperor Jianyuan's face was not looking good, Xia Ningxi's words clearly implied that King Cheng had the intention of disobedience.

Yu Shengchi was angry from the bottom of his heart, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath to maintain his calm, turned around to face Emperor Jianyuan, knelt down with his hands folded, and said earnestly: "My brother begs the emperor, Xu Muyao is a concubine."

"Brother Wang, why did your attitude change so quickly? Just now you said, let me make the decision, why did you take the initiative to speak now?"

"It's because of my ignorance that I shouldn't worry too much about the Xiahou Mansion because of the relationship between the Crown Princess and Mu Yao. Just now, the words of the Crown Princess made me realize that Mu Yao is just a mere girl, but because of this, I think too much. It really shouldn't be. Therefore, I implore the emperor to issue an order to grant Mu Yao the position of concubine." Yu Shengchi lowered his head, his tone was earnest and calm.

Everyone in the hall began to discuss in low voices, even Xia Muyao had a look of surprise in her eyes, she did not expect such a dramatic change in the matter.

She had originally hoped that as long as Hua Ruoling was around, the Queen Mother would be merciful and give her the position of Concubine, but she did not expect that because of You Huang's intervention, all of this would be due to Xia Ningxi and even the Eastern Palace.

While expecting from the bottom of my heart, there is also some resentment!Why, Xia Ningxi will make decisions about everything she does!Once Emperor Jianyuan decreed to grant her the position of Concubine, after today, everyone would know how much Xia Ningxi cared about her sisterly love and how deeply she understood justice.

And if she still cares about Xia Ningxi, she will be accused of being heartless and ungrateful.

Emperor Jianyuan thought for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Yu Xuanzhen with a serious expression: "Prince, do you think what the princess said is reasonable?"

Yu Xuanzhen cupped his hands, and said with a faint smile: "Although Ning'er speaks boldly and bluntly, it is because of her true nature. I hope my father will not take offense. Looking back, I will definitely teach her how to speak."

Hearing what he said, Emperor Jianyuan's originally cold face finally eased, he laughed and said: "Since that's the case, I will decree to bestow Xia Muyao as the side concubine of Prince Cheng's residence. As for this Young Master Youhuang."

Emperor Jianyuan paused, and looked at Princess Tonghua with deep meaning: "Tonghua, what do you think is the most appropriate reward?"

Princess Tonghua smiled slightly: "That depends on what Young Master Youhuang wants."

Xia Ningxi frowned in doubt, and looked at Tonghua's eyes looking at Youhuang. This look is obviously the look that a woman would have on someone she admired. Could it be that this noble Princess Tonghua is attracted to Youhuang?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, Xia Ningxi's brows tightened, and she couldn't stop drinking while holding the wine glass.

You Huang stood up and cupped his hands to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your majesty and the princess's love, but You Huang is a loose person in the world and can't be restrained. Any reward will have little effect on your majesty. I hope your majesty will take it back."

"Since that's the case, I won't force it. I'll keep this reward for you for the time being. If you ask for something someday, you can ask me again." Emperor Jianyuan didn't hesitate, and said so.

Xia Muyao, who was kneeling below, secretly squeezed her palms tightly, bowed her head and said, "Mu Yao thanked His Majesty for your kindness."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a soaring sound outside the hall, and the huge and gorgeous fireworks rushed into the air, bursting into colorful colors.

The great hall, which had been silent for a while, became commotion again, Emperor Jianyuan also stood up, and said with a hearty smile: "The fireworks in the sky are my birthday gift to Tong Hua, everyone, let's go out and watch it together!" Go down the steps and walk towards the outside of the hall.

Su Momo quickly and carefully supported the Queen Mother, and followed closely.

Then everyone got up and followed Emperor Jianyuan out of the hall.

Yu Xuanzhen took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to hold Xia Ningxi's hand, smiled softly, and asked jokingly: "Ning'er, would you like to accompany Gu to enjoy the fireworks?"
