Chapter 237: Asking for a Concubine

Ning Zhao cured his illness, which was a great achievement, but Ning Zhao did not ask for a reward, and the old emperor looked at her and appreciated her very much.

But admiration is one thing, and the old emperor can't stand someone disobeying him in front of all the ministers.

The old emperor didn't care about Jin Yuan's opposition before, but he didn't expect Ning Zhao to be ready to resist the decree at this moment.

"What do you mean by that?" The old emperor looked at Ning Zhao with half-squinted eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Ning Zhao had already thought of his words, looked at Murong Jiao, and said respectfully: "As we all know, I am just a little concubine in the palace of the imperial servant, and I was able to marry Lord Jin because of the mutual affection, and Lord Jin didn't mind the family, so he married me to become the lady of the main room." ”

"But after all, there is only one lady in the main room, and what the fourth princess said about being on an equal footing is unrealistic in itself, besides, how dare I let Her Royal Highness the princess surrender her identity and sit on an equal footing with me, isn't this damaging to the royal face?"

As soon as these words came out, the old emperor was silent in an instant, and carefully smacked Ning Zhao's words, feeling that there was still some truth.

Seeing this, the fourth princess couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Then you will invite yourself to be a concubine, and I will be the lady of the main room." ”

is also anxious, the fourth princess said very arrogantly, not to mention the other ladies and ladies during the banquet, even the old emperor frowned slightly, and reprimanded: "There are no rules!" Is this what you should say as a princess? ”

The two of them are happy to tie the knot, and the four princesses not only have to be inserted between the two, but now they also want people to invite themselves as concubines and occupy the magpie's nest.

Many ladies and ladies lowered their eyes, and several cabinet elders also shook their heads in disapproval. The old emperor saw the reaction of these people, and knew that he couldn't say why this marriage was today.

In order to prevent the fourth princess from saying anything that was out of character, the old emperor suddenly gave up.

The chrysanthemum banquet was originally a major event in the palace, and these royal private matters should not be delayed, and several pavilion elders were relieved when they saw the old emperor, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The ministers began to talk one after another, and each toasted to the old emperor, and the scene eased down again.

Ning Zhao sat down again, Jin Yuan turned his head to look at her, and neither of them spoke.

Despite this, the two of them still dealt with the people who came to talk with ease, until the end of the flower-viewing banquet, all the ministers left the palace one after another, Jin Yuan drank Ning Zhao out of the palace gate and got into the carriage, and drove straight towards Shangshu Mansion.

Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan both drank a lot of wine, and the flower viewing banquet started in the morning until late at night, both of them were very tired, and they had their own things in their hearts, although Jin Yuan wanted to talk to Ning Zhao, and was also worried about Ning Zhao's body, so they didn't say much, and the two fell asleep directly.

Until he got up early on the second day, after several days of hard work, Jin Yuan had a difficult time resting today, remembering the marriage given by the old emperor yesterday, and wanted to talk to Ning Zhao about it.

"Don't go to the hospital today." At the end of breakfast, Ning Zhao was just about to go out, Jin Yuan grabbed Ning Zhao's wrist and stopped him, "Let's have a good chat." ”

Ning Zhao didn't want to talk to him.

Although the night passed, the shock in her heart still did not subside, but after precipitation, it accumulated deeper and deeper.

In the palace battle in his previous life, Ning Zhao tried his best to deal with those people, just to get Murong Cheng's love, born for love, and finally died for love.

But her love was so humble that Murong Cheng could give up on her so lightly in the end.

This is all her pain, although it was a matter of the previous life, but that pain is still engraved in her bones, the blunt knife is rubbed slowly, the pain is not sharp, but it is enough to torture people.

She didn't want to go through it again, so the moment she was reborn, she decided that she would no longer live for love in this life, but she categorically didn't expect that she would still fall into it, trapped in a net named Jin Yuan.

From the time they met to the time they got married, it was too smooth, and the relationship was good and everything else was good, so that Ning Zhao forgot about those pains for a while.

Now the old emperor's marriage has sounded the alarm bell in Ning Zhao's heart, and the lessons of her previous life are vivid, all of which remind her that she can't repeat the past.

The room was very quiet, and the cicada and the maid who were waiting didn't know when to retreat, only the two of them were left, standing face to face, speechless for a long time.

"Ah Zhao......" Jin Yuan called softly, clearly seeing the change in the mood in Ning Zhao's eyes.

From being at a loss to being at a loss, it was heartbreaking, until the decision at this moment, that bad feeling came up again, Jin Yuan suddenly became irritable, and frowned fiercely.

"I didn't expect the emperor to give marriage." Jin Yuan grabbed Ning Zhao's wrist hard, for fear that as soon as he let go, Ning Zhao would disappear in front of his eyes.

"I never thought of marrying the fourth princess, you know." Jin Yuan seemed to be trying to prove something, looked at Ning Zhao's eyes seriously, and said sincerely: "I said that I only wish for you in my life." ”

Jin Yuan looked at Ning Zhao, expecting to see the loosening in her eyes, but he was disappointed.

If it were Ning Zhao in her previous life, she might believe in love at this moment, but she had already died once, and she was no longer the simple and ignorant Ning Zhao.

Now she is carrying the scars of her previous life, looking for hope to live in the cracks of hatred, Jin Yuan is an accident in the process, a gift from fate.

However, at this moment, she found that this gift not only belonged to herself, but also belonged to others.

She didn't want to, and she didn't want to, so if there really was a day, she would be willing to give up.

"Zhao." Jin Yuan called out again, pulling back Ning Zhao's thoughts.

She looked at Jin Yuan fixedly, her eyes softened, and after a while, she sighed lightly and said to Jin Yuan: "I know that you can't be blamed for this matter, the so-called sacred heart is unpredictable, who can guess what the emperor is thinking at the next moment." ”

Hearing this, Jin Yuan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Ning Zhao's next sentence hung his heart again.

"But if you don't accept the decree, you will resist the decree." Ning Zhao said: "Disrespecting the decree is a big crime, and the entire Jin family will be implicated, you ......"

Ning Zhao didn't dare to ask, worried that what he got was not the answer he wanted.

Hearing this, Jin Yuan was really silent, moved away from Ning Zhao's face, and lowered his eyes slightly.

Ning Zhao's heart twitched, and after a while, she took two steps back, left Jin Yuan's embrace, took a deep breath, and still gave herself and Jin Yuan a chance.

"If you don't want to marry the fourth princess, you can first try to let the emperor take back your life, if you can't get it back......" Ning Zhao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was cold, "I won't ask myself to be a concubine, let's leave......"

Jin Yuan completely let go of his hand and looked at Ning Zhao in disbelief, but Ning Zhao was a little overwhelmed by this gaze, turned around and stepped out of the door, and said as he left, "From today onwards, we will sleep in separate rooms, and everyone will calm down." ”

Without waiting for Jin Yuan to respond, Ning Zhao had already walked out of the courtyard, Qing Cicada was waiting outside the courtyard, seeing that Ning Zhao's expression was not right, although he didn't know what was going on, he still followed obediently behind him and didn't ask anything.

The pretty figure disappeared from view, Jin Yuan still couldn't come back to his senses, he stood in place, looking fixedly at the direction Ning Zhao left, his heart was in chaos.

"How did this happen?" After a while, Jin Yuan raised his hand to support his forehead and closed his eyes heavily.
