Chapter 302: Neighbors and Relatives

The emperor stood in front of Concubine Qi's palace, trying to calm the anger in his heart.

Although this woman was not his favorite concubine in this harem, at least she had been pampered once, and now, the emperor did not want to set foot in this palace, he felt disgusted, he was furious, and he wanted to kill her in this palace immediately.

The eunuch beside him didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the emperor standing for a long time, he bowed forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going in?" ”

The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, and Tie Qing's face gradually calmed down, and as usual, he walked in.

Concubine Qi saw the emperor come in, she was dressing up in front of the mirror, and when she saw the emperor suddenly come in, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, why did you come to me all of a sudden?" Concubine Qi waited for the emperor to sit down, and then she sat on the side with a smile.

"There was something very annoying about me today, so I came out for a walk, but I came to you, and I saw that you didn't sleep and came in." The emperor's face did not change, and he held his forehead with his hand, looking upset.

Concubine Qi got up, walked behind the emperor, thoughtfully helped him rub his shoulders and relax, and asked with concern: "What is it that makes Your Majesty so annoyed?" ”

Before the emperor could speak, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has atoned for her sins, the concubine has overstepped, and she should not ask about the affairs of the court." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know that Concubine Ai cares about me, and it won't be in the way to talk to you." ”

The emperor pulled her back to the seat she had just sat down, took a sip of tea himself, and said, "Does Concubine Ai know the regent of the neighboring country?" ”

Hearing the word regent, Concubine Qi's body stiffened, her hands clutched the silk in her hand tightly, her eyes moved away from the emperor, and she said with a smile: "Regent? How can a concubine know the regent of a neighboring country? ”

The emperor glanced at her and said, "Concubine Ai is in the harem all the year round, and it is normal that I have not heard of this person, but this person is indeed not to be underestimated, I recently inquired that he seems to be interested in encouraging the emperor of the neighboring country to open up the territory, I am worried that he will fight the idea of our dynasty." ”

"No, Your Majesty, there are so many soldiers in our country, what are you afraid of them doing?"

"That being said, after all, fighting a war is a matter of labor and money, and if it can be resolved peacefully, it is naturally better not to fight."

"Then what is Your Majesty going to do?"

Although Concubine Qi was talking to the emperor, her eyes were wandering, and her words were not half distracted.

The emperor didn't see it, and replied: "I think about it, and only a friendly policy can ease the relationship between the two countries." ”

"And pro?" Concubine Qi seemed to have been clicked, and immediately came back to her senses, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, who do you want to kiss with?" ”

"Of course, it's the regent I just mentioned, and now he has the final say in the affairs of neighboring countries, and making peace with him is the most effective." The emperor picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip, and glanced at Concubine Qi unintentionally.

Concubine Qi lowered her head and gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed slightly, and when the emperor put down the teacup, she returned to her usual life, but the handkerchief in her hand was clenched tighter.

The Emperor sighed and said, "However, what worries me the most now is the choice of this affinity. ”

"Who does Your Majesty plan to let you kiss?" Concubine Qi asked hurriedly.

The emperor shook his head helplessly, "The situation in this harem is clear, the older ones are already married, and the younger ones are still young, so they are not suitable, but they can choose a princess from a foreign domain, but I am really not at ease, worried that they will rebel." ”

This Concubine Qi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "But what should I do then?" ”

"However," the emperor paused, and then said, "there was a precedent in the previous dynasty for concubines to marry and marry, and if there is really no way, I can only follow the example of my ancestors." ”

Concubine Qi's eyes quickly rolled a few times, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have a candidate in mind?" ”

"This person chooses ......" The emperor got up, walked around the room slowly twice, and looked at Concubine Qi affectionately, "Don't hide your love for the concubine, although this harem is my harem, but my thoughts may not all be towards me, if I want to say that I can trust the most, I will count you, concubine." ”

"Your Majesty means that you want the concubines to go and kiss?" Concubine Qi was overjoyed in her heart, but there seemed to be reluctance on her face, "Your Majesty, this, how can a concubine serve Your Majesty for so many years, how can you marry that regent again?" ”

From the moment the emperor said that he would let the concubine go and kiss, Concubine Qi was thinking about how to get the emperor to agree to her going, but she didn't expect the emperor to say it himself.

The emperor was also reluctant and helpless, "I know that you are unwilling, if there is no other way, where will I let Concubine Ai suffer this kind of humiliation, if Concubine Ai is unwilling, just assume that I didn't say it, it's a big deal to start a war between the two countries, I am against millions of elite soldiers, and I am afraid that he will not succeed!" ”

When Emperor Concubine Qi said this, she was anxious, so she knelt in front of the emperor with a puff, with an expression of looking at death as home, and said: "The concubine only wants to be by His Majesty's side in this life, and does not want to leave His Majesty." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Qi had already left two lines of tears, and said: "It's just that if you use the life of the concubine alone, you can exchange it for a temporary peace in my dynasty, and the concubine will not give up!" For the sake of the court and society, in order to relieve His Majesty's worries, the concubines are willing to go to neighboring countries and relatives! ”

The emperor hurriedly helped her up, and said movingly: "Aifei, are you really willing to go to a neighboring country and make peace with the regent for me?" ”

Concubine Qi wiped the water on her face and nodded with difficulty.

And the emperor's eyes at this moment showed a trace of chill and disappointment.

"Concubine Ai's sincerity to me, I will never forget in this life!" The Emperor's hand caressed Concubine Qi's cheek.

"As long as it is for Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to do anything, Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine's heart will always be with you, and she will never betray you." Concubine Qi repeatedly showed her loyalty to the emperor.

The emperor was about to lose control of the anger in his heart at this moment, and he wanted to immediately expose the hypocritical face of the woman in front of him.

"How could I not know the love of my concubine's loyalty to me?"

He let go of Concubine Qi, turned around and sat down, and picked up the tea on the table again.

Concubine Qi was so excited in her heart at the moment that she didn't notice the change in the emperor's face at all.

At this moment, the little eunuch beside the emperor entered the house and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Imperial Concubine asks to see you." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did she come here?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Seventh Imperial Concubine came with the Eleventh Prince, saying that she had something important to see."

Speaking of the eleventh prince, Concubine Qi came back to her senses and asked happily, "The eleventh prince is also here?" ”

"Yes." The eunuch said.

The emperor knew that this Qin Miaomiao came here with the eleventh prince, most of them had something to do with Concubine Qi, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Let them in." ”
