Chapter 43: A Renewed Oath

When the majestic Daimyo Palace was in front of me, I was terrified. I am wrong in this matter, there is no concubine in the dignified state, and in the eyes of ordinary people, I feel that it is shabby. The emperor gave the courtiers and beauties, which is a great favor. If the emperor punishes me for this, I am afraid that I will become the laughing stock of others, and no one will sympathize with me.

Standing outside the Daimyo Palace, the guard at the gate saluted me very respectfully, and without any intention of stopping me, I walked straight in.

Father-in-law Xia had already returned, and when he saw me, he said, "Princess, please go back, the emperor said that the holy decree has been issued, and no one shall disobey." ”

"What about the emperor?"

"The emperor is busy, I'm afraid I won't see the princess in person today."

"What about Zhou Sinian?"

"The state justice is discussing with the emperor, I'm afraid there is no way to come to see the princess for a while."

I knelt down in the hall and said to Father-in-law Xia: "Please tell the emperor, the emperor's holy decree, Shenglan forgives his fate." Shenglan is guilty, but only death. ”

Qiu Zege was shocked, came over to help me, and said, "Princess, what's the matter, let's go back and wait for the city lord to come back." There's a small one in this belly, don't you care about it? ”

"That's his own bad life," I said through gritted teeth, "who made him have a father who didn't keep his word." ”

Gonggong Xia said beside him: "The slave will go and see if Guogong can come down." ”

Father-in-law Xia left, Qiu Zege still wanted to persuade me, I said: "You don't have to persuade me, if I go back like this today, I will be ashamed to death by myself, then it is better to die here." ”

After a long time, there was the sound of footsteps behind him. Listening to the voice, it's Zhou Si coming.

"Get up, the emperor has taken back his life." Zhou Sinian said.

Qiu Zege hurriedly came over and helped me up. He turned his head to look at Zhou Sinian and said, "Brother Nian, I'm sorry." ”

Zhou Sinian said: "It's right for me to say this, I was drunk last night." ”

I walked up to him and whispered, "Do you really want those two women?" ”

Zhou Sinian smiled and said: "I don't want to do it anymore, I made such a scene, I want to die or live, and now I am talking about this again." ”

"So what do you mean, you want it?" I pouted.

"I said I didn't want it, and you'd have to call me duplicitous again." Zhou Sinian shook his head, "Go back, those two women, the emperor has already sent someone to pick them up." ”

"Did the emperor say anything?" I asked weakly.

"You expect him to reward you." Zhou Sinian said with a frown.

I walked out in a daze, and Zhou Sinian grabbed me and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to." Shall we forget about this in the future? ”

I nodded, took his hand, and begged, "Let's not take a concubine, okay?" ”

He nodded, pinched my nose, and said, "Don't move to live or die." ”

When I returned to the house, the two women were indeed gone, and I was relieved.

Qiu Zege complained: "You really can't do this, what if you really hurt the child?" ”

I said: "Zege, you haven't lived in the harem, you don't know how ruthless women are." I'm tired of that kind of life, Brother Nian promised my mother that there would be no other women after marrying me, otherwise, he wouldn't apologize to me today. ”

After Zhou Sinian returned home, we all consciously stopped mentioning this matter, and after a long time, it seemed that we had forgotten about it.

Now that he mentioned that he wanted a lot of children, I thought about it again and said, "Do you really want those two women?" They're really pretty. ”

He said, "Didn't we say we wouldn't talk about it again?" I really didn't mean to. ”

"Brother Nian, I'm sorry."

"Why do you keep mentioning this?" Zhou Sinian smiled, "Why are you sorry for me?" ”

"The emperor also had a lot of kindness to you, but I made it easy."

"It's rare that you said that he had good intentions this time," Zhou Sinian said with a smile, "Vinegar jars, both men and women eat vinegar." ”

"I'm not what you said, I still want Zege to marry you, but people don't want to."

Zhou Sinian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Have you asked me?" Just arrange it blindly, I don't like a woman like Qiu Zege, who is hard. ”

"What do you like?"

"Do you really want to give me a concubine?" Zhou Sinian looked at me suspiciously.

"Now everyone outside says I'm a jealous woman, and even Zege thinks I went too far last time. You know me, I just don't like a lot of women working with a husband. And then jealousy of each other, killing each other, it's terrible. ”

"How do you call a husband who works together? There is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, the wife is the master, the concubine is the servant, our Zhou family, the population is withering, and in my generation, I am the only one left. I just want the Zhou family to prosper. ”

"My mother is the queen, and I know best what kind of life she lives."

Zhou Sinian's face changed, and he stood up with his back to me.

I asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He turned around and smiled and said, "It's okay, since you don't want to, then forget it, don't always think about unpleasant things." ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just"

Zhou Sinian walked over, knelt down next to me, took my hand, and said, "Don't say it, now that you are by my side, I am very satisfied." ”

I put my heart at ease and said happily: "That's it, you also promised my mother at the beginning, and you can't regret it just because she is gone." ”

I noticed that Zhou Sinian was holding my hand and trembling slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"It's fine." He let go of his hand, stood up, and sat down in the chair next to me.

"My mother is the person who loves me the most, I always thought she was very annoying when she was alive, and now that she is forever gone, I understand that she is good to me." I stroked my abdomen, and the little fetus was punched and kicked again, and I turned back to Zhou Sinian and said, "Brother Nian, maybe he is really a son, so naughty and mischievous." ”

"I'll touch," Zhou Sinian walked over, put his hand on my belly, showed a gentle smile on his face, and said: "It doesn't matter if your son and daughter are your daughter, you don't always say that you want your son, in case it's your daughter's sadness, he can hear it." ”

I smiled, I didn't bother to pay attention to his unreasonable words, besides, I don't blame him, he will definitely love his daughter, but I just want the family to be prosperous. When the queen mother was in the past, in order to prevent me from repeating her mistakes, Zhou Sinian made a heavy oath that he could not take a concubine after marrying me, and if he disobeyed, he would be sent by heaven.

Then he said: "Brother Nian, it's not that I don't agree, it's just that you swore at the beginning, which is not very good." ”

Zhou Sinian said with a smile: "I just had a whim, where do I really want to take a concubine?" He stretched out his hand and handed it to me and said, "Don't lie around and think nonsense, let's go for a walk together." ”
