Chapter 37: Compromise (5)
(Go to the net.)
It stands to reason that they put forward such conditions. Go and see the net. After all, being able to climb relatives with the emperor is enough to ensure their current wealth and status. Master Situ ignored me who was stunned and talked to himself.
"The old man said so much just now, the queen should also understand by now, the best way at present is to agree to their request, so as to truly appease the people. It's a pity that the emperor rejected it. ”
I smiled at Lord Situ with difficulty, and what I remembered in my mind was still when I talked to Zhize that day, he categorically refused, it turned out that Zhize didn't want to win the support of these people, but he had always considered me in his heart.
"Lord Situ, you should know the relationship between the concubine and the emperor... Is there no other way?"
Seeing the reddening of my eyes, Wang Situ was a little at a loss, but finally sighed and said, "Niangniang, if there is any other way, the old man will not come to visit you." ”
"But... But the matter of accepting the concubine is the emperor's own business, and if the emperor resolutely refuses to agree, the concubine is powerless. "Until now, I still had a glimmer of fantasy in my mind. Although what Lord Situ said was reasonable, Zhi Ze wanted to get the support of these gate valve families, and harmony was the best result, but from an emotional point of view, it was still difficult to convince himself to accept this fact.
Lord Situ still had a cold face, and said expressionlessly: "The old man is not here to persuade the queen to change his mind, the etiquette queen in the palace should also know that the emperor's concubine, in addition to the emperor himself, you also have the right to decide." ”
Wang Situ really came prepared, I originally planned to hide the past like this, but he obviously wouldn't give me such a chance. Yes, there is indeed such a rule in the etiquette in the palace, in addition to the emperor himself, the queen can also be promoted to enrich the emperor's harem.
Wang Situ calmly took out a notebook from his sleeve and presented it to me in a regular manner: "The young ladies to be married of the powerful families in Beijing, the old husband has already been registered, please make a decision as soon as possible." With that, he bowed solemnly to me.
Pretending to be calm, I took the fold calmly, and I flipped through the pages to look at the names of the people crowded on the fold, but my heart was already in pain. is obviously my most beloved person, but I actually have to choose a concubine for him and share him with others. Could there be anything more cruel in the world?
"Please make a decision as soon as possible!" Lord Situ in the hall did not give me the slightest opportunity to feel sad, but just urged me to finalize the candidate as soon as possible.
As a last resort, I sighed, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with a handkerchief, and struggled to pick up the heavy pen on the table, moving back and forth between the dazzling names, knowing that as long as I made a stroke, it meant that the love I cherished was to be shared with someone else.
Under the sharp gaze of Lord Situ, there was an inexplicable feeling of breaking the jar in his heart, row down, row down, who made your man the emperor of the emperor who has the power in the world. At a glance, a familiar name on the roster caught my attention, and then at the eager expression on the face of Lord Situ, who was staring at me intently, I suddenly understood something.
"Lord Situ, how about this first-class candidate, how about the concubine choosing Miss Ruoxi, the daughter of your mansion?" I sneered, pretended to look at Lord Situ with a happy face and asked, I desperately wanted to see Lord Situ's sanctimonious appearance instantly replaced by a humble smile.
"The old minister thanked the mother for her love, but the old man didn't dare to accept it. The purpose of this concubine is to win over the gentry and nobles in the capital, and it is best to choose from which families. "Unexpectedly, Wang Situ would calmly reject my good intentions.
How could this be? Looking at his serious appearance, it didn't look like a pretense of prevarication. In fact, even if Wang Ruoxi is included in the palace, there is not much objection, she and Zhize had such a close relationship before, and it is reasonable to say the past.
I was a little confused, so I hurriedly asked unconvinced: "My lord, do you really not give your daughter this chance? You know, Miss Ruoxi and the emperor..."
"Niangniang, don't you still understand?" Wang Situ raised his voice without warning, and his tone became stern: "Once you sit on the throne of the emperor, you can no longer rely on your own temperament in everything, and you must put the Jiangshan Sheji in the first place! Why did Yuan Zhixun fall into such a step? It's not that he abandoned the Jiangshan Sheji for his own thoughts! What kind of love for children and heroes and shortness of breath are not worth mentioning in front of the Jiangshan Sheji!"
Lord Situ's roar overwhelmed me, and my heart felt as if I had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, it seemed that this old man really didn't have any selfish thoughts in his heart, just for the sake of Zhize's throne. Realizing this, I even felt a little ashamed, even an outsider like him thinks so much about Zhize, and I'm Zhize's wife, how can I...
My heart was already in a mess, and I no longer had the intention of outlining who to choose, so I pushed the report to Lord Situ: "The concubine is ignorant, and she doesn't know which candidates are the most suitable. ”
Wang Situ was not ambiguous, and immediately took the fold and carefully checked it, sketching on it while introducing to me the background of the candidates he had circled. It can be seen that it was a wise choice for me to give him this task, and looking at his familiar appearance, it is obvious that I have already decided on the corresponding person in my heart.
In the end, after some thought, Lord Situ circled five candidates, and his face gradually eased. "Niangniang, the candidate has been chosen, and the next step is to promulgate the decree..."
"These things, just bother Lord Situ to do it for you. I waved my hand weakly, and after today's torture, I was already physically and mentally exhausted.
"Niangniang, the old husband represents all the people in the world, and Queen Xie is so reasonable. Master Situ suddenly fell to his knees and solemnly bowed to me.
"Niangniang, the relationship between you and the emperor has always been heard of by the old man. The reason why the emperor has always refused to see those gentry before, the old minister is also clear, and the emperor doesn't want you to be wronged. "After finishing his business, Lord Situ didn't seem to be busy leaving, but had a conversation with me.
"The concubine thanks Master Situ for the compliment, but," I smiled helplessly and looked at the old man in front of me: "It's useless to say anything now." ”
"Why can a man have a group of wives and concubines, but a woman can only start from the beginning? Could it be that women are naturally inferior to men?" Perhaps he suppressed too many negative emotions in his heart, and accidentally said a big rebellious word in front of the silent Lord Situ.
"Mother, the old man retired. Lord Situ was stunned for a moment, and then gave me another salute to say goodbye, and the planned criticism of my fallacy did not appear.
"Thank you, Lord Situ, for not scolding me for making a big fuss. Looking at his back as he left step by step, I couldn't help but say a half-joking quip.
"Actually, what Niangniang just said, the old man had heard it before. Lord Situ stopped, and whispered with a slight face: "The old man's daughter has the same thoughts as the mother. With that, he left without looking back.
I'm sick, really sick, and not lightly. Ever since Master Situ left, I felt that my whole body was light, and I had been very sleepy, and my joints all over my body were also burning pain. Since I was with Zhize, I rarely got sick, but this time I was so sick that I didn't expect it.
When I woke up again, it was already three days later. The headache has gradually improved, but I still have no strength in my body. Trying to open my heavy eyelids, the first thing that caught my eye was Zhize's tired face, bloodshot eyes, staring at me with concern. I found that when I woke up, the worry in my eyes was gradually replaced by a heartfelt joy.
"Niangniang, you have finally woken up, the prince has just come to see you. Ruyan happened to walk in with a bowl of steaming potion, and was naturally very happy to find that I woke up.
"Come, Xiaoxiao, get up and drink some medicine. Zhi Ze naturally took the medicine bowl from Ruyan's hand, put it on the corner of his mouth and blew gently.
"What's wrong with me...", I slapped my head in frustration, but my mind was blank and I couldn't remember anything.
"The doctor said, you have a cold, and you have been burning badly for the past few days, come and drink some medicine. Zhi Ze carefully brought the cold medicine to my mouth.
"Your Majesty, you should rest first, you haven't closed your eyes for three days, and your mother has a slave to take care of you, so you can rest assured. Ruyan cautiously interjected on the side.
What, Zhi Ze hasn't slept for three days for me? I reacted suddenly, and held Zhi Ze's hand distressedly: "You haven't rested for three days, how can this work? There are still a lot of state affairs waiting for you to deal with..."
"Don't worry about me," Zhi Ze affectionately combed my messy hair on my forehead, and said gently: "You finally woke up, let me take a good look at you." ”
Although it was just a simple sentence, it was enough to move me to tears. Thinking that Zhize has paid so much for me, I can't help but feel sorry for him and feel sorry for my vulnerability.
"It's all my fault," I swallowed the bitter decoction with difficulty, and I choked up and said, "It's all summer, and there is actually a cold and flu disease, and you haven't rested for several days..."
"Xiaoxiao, it's not your fault..."Zhi Ze gently pressed his index finger to my lips and said softly: "The imperial doctor said that the reason why you are so sick this time is because of the depression in your heart, which cannot be relieved. ”
"You girl, you always think about others in everything, and you have never considered yourself, since it is so painful, why do you bother to agree to Lord Situ?" It seems that Zhize has understood the truth of the matter, but at this time, there is no reproach in his tone, more of a strong concern.
