Chapter 42: The Emperor's Edict (II)
When He Lan heard this, he was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you...... What are you talking about? I...... Didn't hear clearly. ”
Zhao Sheng Rong regained his serious face again, put on a serious look, and then said word by word, "I, it's the day of the draft again." And your age happens to be at this time, as long as you want, I can fake to make you a show girl, and in one fell swoop, you can get my imperial concubine except for the queen, you can rest assured, no one can touch you except me. ”
"Fake?" When He Lan heard these two words, she couldn't help but snort angrily, "It seems that it's really a rat's nest family, and they are not afraid of being discovered if they are cheating and fooling people, but you must know that even if I promise you, do you say that the Queen Mother will agree, and the queen, after all, apart from you, you can't stay by my side all day." Besides, I don't want to adapt to the various battles in the palace, and I don't want to participate in the various conspiracies in your harem, because I don't have that kind of heart, so I still hope that the emperor will let me go free and let me be a real free man. ”
"I've already said that no one will touch you except me, so don't worry." Zhao Sheng Rong repeated again.
"I've already said that I just want my freedom. Just like a bird, it would rather fly outside than be imprisoned in a wire cage, and I am a chef who likes to cook, so I am not happy to be a captive canary. Also, my future husband must treat me wholeheartedly, and he must not have three wives and four concubines, let alone ...... Any side concubine, and this emperor, you can't reach it, because you are three thousand in the palace, so I won't agree. Even if you were to put me to death, I would say so. He Lan said coldly.
Zhao Sheng Rong was stunned, he didn't expect He Lan in front of him to be angry instead of liking, and even so cold, this was beyond his own expectations, could it be that he guessed wrong, thought for a while, and couldn't help blurting out, "You want to avenge the ninth brother, isn't it more advantageous to be my imperial concubine?" ”
Only then did He Lan understand that Zhao Sheng Rong was accepting herself as the imperial concubine in order to intimidate Zhao Fu Qing, and she couldn't help laughing, and she laughed to tears, Zhao Sheng Rong was even more puzzled, what happened and what was ridiculous about his words.
"It turns out that the emperor is worried that his throne will not be guaranteed, and he is afraid that I will come in and be an internal worker? Your Majesty, you said that if I were really inside, I would talk to you like this, right? Also, I'm a person who has lost my parents, how to be an internal work, and I still have amnesia, if it weren't for the Qing prince who told me about this history, I really don't know where this is. You said I had amnesia, how did the Qing prince let me make a plan to take your throne? Although I know your queen mother'......" Speaking of this, He Lan paused, because he was too anxious for a while, he actually told Zhao Fuqing about the queen mother's execution of his mother concubine, and couldn't help but shrink back, "I love you very much, she will never allow me to be your imperial concubine, even if you spoil me, if you make you a woman who does not go to court because of me, you say, will others say that I am a red face and a trouble?" Also, does the emperor know why I refused to be a concubine in the first place? ”
"Do you think that Zhao Fu is too old? And I'm not ......" Zhaosheng Rong seemed unwilling to be rejected by a girl like this, which girl would not be happy when she heard this, but the girl in front of her would not, but had a sense of sadness.
"No, because age doesn't matter, in my ...... In the dream, in that world, they are all monogamous, even if there is a big age difference, it is okay. It has nothing to do with age, just because that person has a wife and concubine, and he has three wives and four concubines, which has long made me hateful, so I refuse, if he is not married or lives alone, as long as he agrees to my conditions, I may become his only wife. He Lan said slowly.
"Unique?" Zhao Sheng Rong shook his head and said, "It's impossible people, here, any woman has no skills, and all of them serve their husbands, even ordinary people have three wives and four concubines, so it's impossible for you to realize what you dreamed of." ”
"Who says it can't be? You say you don't have the skills, so what do you want me to do as the deputy head of the house? Don't forget that I'm a woman, too. In addition to learning to cook in a dream, I forgot all other skills, you say, you let a chef from the fifth grade as your imperial concubine, not afraid that you will be laughed to death by others? He Lan fought back, "Also, I firmly believe that such a person will definitely appear, as for when it will appear, it's hard to say." So, I'll be patient and wait. As soon as that person appears, I will definitely get, or if he agrees to this request of mine, I will marry him. ”
"He Lan, don't talk in dreams, that's impossible, even if it's the ninth brother or the fifth brother, he won't take only one wife, after all, inheritance is a woman's ......" Without waiting for Zhaosheng Rong to finish speaking, He Lan laughed again, "Inheritance, you only know that women can have children, but have you ever considered whether you men have the ability?" If you men can't have children, even if you marry any woman again, you won't be able to have children. It's like Mu Ping, a good child, you turned him into a eunuch, do you think he can have children? ”
"Uh......" Zhao Sheng Rong didn't seem to expect He Lan to ask himself such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Doesn't Mu Ping's family need his lineage? Also, just like that Zhao Fu, he said that he has no son, but there are so many daughters, and they all say that the daughter is the little lover of her father's previous life, but you look down on girls, and you still want to accept girls as concubines, so it's better to let a man pass it on to you. He Lan blurted out, which could be said to be angry.
"He Lan, what you say is really a word of death, if you don't agree, I can execute you. As long as you promise, even if you want gold and silver, I can give it to you, and ah, there will never be a man here who has broken his sleeves, so you can relax, you are all normal men. Zhao Sheng Rong persuaded again, as if he was unwilling to fail like this.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to kill me, it's good to kill me, I'm tired of staying anyway, but kill me, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat mapo tofu, sweet and sour carp spine, West Lake vinegar fish, steamed carp, ginger preserved eggs, roasted goose, steamed bear paws, ......" He Lan actually remembered the name of the dish in the cross talk, and immediately said it in one breath, and there was no pause in the middle.
Zhao Sheng Rong listened to this name that he had never heard of, his mouth and tongue involuntarily licked it, his gluttony was actually lured out, when he saw He Lan smiling and pointing at himself, he realized that he was actually attracted by food, and sneered, "He Lan, you are in a hurry first, anyway, I have taken a break for three days, so, after three days, you will reply, no matter what the reply is, I will ...... Promised you. It's also a three-day time to think. "He is still unwilling, or he also wants people to persuade He Lan, after all, this imperial concubine is much higher than any status, although it is one level lower than the queen, but it is also higher than the other concubines, so prepare for a few more days.
"If you really want me to be your person, you can, then you must dismiss three thousand beauties in your harem, leaving me as only a queen, and there can be no other harems and concubines, otherwise, even if I die, I will not agree." He Lan blurted out again, and her tone was extremely impulsive.
"Impossible!" Zhao Sheng Rong replied without thinking about it.
"So, even if you make me think about it for a few more days, I'll just ask to marry me. And the other party must be ...... It's complete, but even if you, it's no longer good, because you've not been perfect since you were the prince. He Lan said with a smile.
"Finished? What do you mean...... Haven't done it...... That one? Zhaosheng Rong never expected He Lan to make such a request.
"Yes." Speaking of this, He Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable in her lower abdomen, and a hot breath seeped out from below, it seemed that the day had come, and she couldn't help whispering, "Your Majesty, can you let me go down and rest, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”
Seeing that He Lan's face was extremely bad, Zhao Shengrong had no choice but to wave her hand and let her retreat, "You go back and have a good rest these days, I will send an imperial doctor to see you, and don't catch a cold." ”
"Yes, courtier......" He Lan didn't finish this sentence, she couldn't help but run out with her stomach covered, after she ran out, Zhao Shengrong found that the pair of flatform shoes were actually dropped on the ground by her, it seems that she was too angry just now, and she actually took off her shoes, and she didn't see it, so she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Your Majesty, Lord He is gone, I don't know what else I want to do?" Zhou Quan was a little surprised when he saw He Lan running out quickly, but because he didn't have the emperor's order, he didn't dare to chase after him, so he came in to ask for instructions.
"You go to the Tai Hospital and ask an imperial doctor to come over and see how He Lan's condition is...... If possible, it's best to find someone and persuade her to agree to the draft...... Imperial Princess! Zhaosheng Rong thought for a while and said again.
"Your Majesty, you ...... What do you say?! Zhou Quan also asked in great surprise, this exception is too big, a deputy head of the imperial dining room who is just sixteen years old, the emperor actually wants to accept her as the imperial concubine, this is really a big surprise to him, he thought that she would be a concubine, but he didn't expect her to be so loved by the emperor. It seems that he is really stammering.
"I said, you quickly go to someone to persuade her, let her agree with my decision, I can give an order to open a small kitchen for her, so that she can have food, and no one can go to that place except me." Zhaosheng Rong glared at Zhou Quan, and then said.
"Ho...... He Lan refused? She...... She didn't say yes? Hearing this, Zhou Quan was dumbfounded again, how could this be, this is an extremely high position, why didn't He Lan agree? Could it be that the emperor is old? No, naturally he is not old, but he is only a dozen years older than He Lan, and it is the prime of life, and it is also the most ......
"Hurry up and pass the order, don't waste any more time." Zhao Sheng Rong was already a little angry by He Lan, and when he saw Zhou Quan looking at him in a daze, he couldn't help but spread his anger on Zhou Quan and shouted loudly.
"Yes, the slave will do it, first go to the imperial doctor, and then find someone to persuade Master He." Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Zhou Quan returned to his original appearance and hurried out.
"He Lan, what kind of person are you? Why refuse my offer? Zhao Sheng Rong thought back to what happened just now and fell into deep thought again......
