Chapter 71: Checks and Balances
Zhan An clenched his fists tightly, looking at Chi Bai who was crying in his arms, and felt that his heart was broken.
"It's okay, now it's just the ancestral rituals here, I can't promise you more, but if I have the opportunity, I will definitely restore your position."
The implication is to recognize the position of Chi Bai Guifei.
Moreover, as a dignified emperor, it is really amazing to give a promise to a woman.
Those around were dumbfounded, and some had worried faces on their faces.
Father-in-law Zhang bore the brunt of it, he had never seen his master look like this, as if he was obsessed, and now his face was not good.
I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.
Zhan Jing next to him also had a bad face, he said so much, but Zhan An still insisted on going his own way.
It's like taking the wrong medicine, and he wants to beat Zhan'an.
But taking into account his identity, Zhan Jing endured it, but now when he heard Zhan An say this, he squeezed his fist, and for the first time he had an uncontrollable desire to hit someone.
He thinks this man is stupid!
In the whole world, there are so many women who can't be chosen.
Even if you really want to give Chi Bai a position, why make a fuss that everyone knows.
He seemed to have only Chi Bai left in his eyes, completely ignoring what the people around him would think, which was really stupid.
Du Wanxi sighed, and a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes.
Turning his head to look at the subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, he said coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and retreat, what do you do here?" The mourning family made it clear to you that this matter must not be leaked, otherwise, the mourning family will not be able to protect you. ”
Just now, Zhan'an wanted them to go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the punishment, if it weren't for Du Wanxi, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to live.
Now inheriting Du Wanxi's kindness, with tears in his eyes, he nodded, and hurriedly retreated, there were many fewer people in Hulala, and all of a sudden only the palace maids and eunuchs who served him were left.
Du Wanxi looked at Zhan An in disappointment.
In fact, I gritted my teeth with hatred.
Is this man stupid?
So what is so good about a delicate white lotus?
Because I brought you a mouthful of hot rice, you haven't eaten in your life, have you?
But these words can only be said in my heart, and on my face, I still look like a helpless old mother.
She let out a long sigh: "Since the emperor has decided, no matter what the mourning family says, it is useless, then the mourning family doesn't care, I hope the emperor can stabilize the court, to understand right and wrong, but also to understand which is the most important." ”
Zhan An nodded, looking at Chi Bai in his arms, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.
"My son naturally knows which is the most important."
Zhan'an's eyes were shining, and what flowed in them was tenderness that could grapple with the dead.
Although he had already broken off with him, no matter which woman he favored, there were no twists and turns in his heart, but now seeing him so stupid, he still felt a little sorry in his heart.
She must have been blind to fall in love with him.
With a long sigh, Du Wanxi turned around and left with Qiu Yue.
When passing by Zhanjing, he paused and looked up at him: "The regent should go back too." ”
Zhan Jing nodded.
She and Qiuyue went back again, the wind was cool and cool, and it was quite comfortable to blow on the body, and it seemed that she could suppress the anger in her heart.
She took a deep breath, did not sit on the sedan chair, and chose to walk back to Shoukang Palace.
The scenery along the way is good, and you can also change your mood.
While going back, the news that Chi Bai was canonized as a white concubine also spread throughout the harem.
Faintly, there were other voices coming out.
said that the emperor favored Chi Bai, and he had already given a promise, and now he is given the position of a concubine, just because the ancestors did not allow him to jump too high.
In a few days, she will definitely become a concubine.
There has never been an emperor who has been so favored by a person, and the position of the queen has been decided.
As soon as he returned to Shoukang Palace, as soon as he stepped into the gate with a low threshold, Du Wanxi heard crying inside.
"What sound?"
frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Qiu Yue next to him.
However, Qiu Yue also just came back, so naturally she didn't know what was going on inside.
When I went in, I saw the palace people kneeling on the bluestone bricks, and the leaders were the concubines in each palace.
When those people saw her coming, their eyes lit up.
He didn't get up, but kowtowed to her respectfully.
"The concubine has seen the queen mother."
"The slave has seen the Queen Mother."
The sound of greetings sounded one after another, and she only felt dizzy.
waved his hand casually: "If you have something to say, stand up and say, don't kneel there." ”
But even so, the men did not get up, and even walked forward on their knees.
"The Queen Mother, there is no queen now, and the affairs in the harem, the Queen Mother is in charge, but this matter is in an uproar, is it just a hasty end?"
Liu Lianlian still occupies the first place among these people, and said first.
"A concubine is also a person who knows the rules, I have never seen the emperor love a concubine so much, after all, there has never been such a thing in the past, it is said that feelings are a lock, how can the emperor be locked by these feelings with such an identity."
There was some anxiety in her eyes, and her tone was full of jealousy.
"It's just a concubine's daughter, what qualifications do you have to be above all the concubines? It's not good to sing and sing, it's not good to dance and dance, and it's ...... to pull a palace maid in the palace casually."
It seemed that he felt that he was going too far, so Liu Lianlian coughed lightly and changed his words.
"The Queen Mother is now the master of the harem, and she should have managed these, if the Queen Mother doesn't care about this matter, then the concubine really doesn't know what to do."
As she spoke, she burst into tears, as if she felt that she had been greatly wronged.
Du Wanxi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Liu Lianlian was born noble, and she was a concubine, if she planned well, the queen's position would be hers.
At least in the harem, there is no woman more noble than her.
Even in his previous life, Du Wanxi thought so.
didn't expect Liu Lianlian to be such an unsuccessful person in the back.
But now, she must have felt very wronged.
After all, she also received the emperor's favor, but she didn't have such good luck.
If Chi Bai just became a concubine, even if it made people jealous, others would have nothing to say.
can directly become a concubine, which makes people jealous and can get a handle at the same time.
"What the mourning family should say has already been told to the emperor, but the emperor doesn't listen, what can the mourning family do?"
Du Wanxi waved his hand irritably: "Don't talk about this mess in the future, after all, she will be a concubine in the future, and she is the highest status among your sisters, if this is heard by others, it will be a board, no matter how glamorous your previous identity was, but now, someone is on your head." ”
She said lightly, and left them a word.
"Don't forget how you bullied her before."
