Chapter 39: Petition for a Concubine

Jiuyu knew that her body could no longer prolong the heirs for the prince, but Su Zisheng was unwilling to marry again, since that incident came out, all the ladies also left separately, and now there is only Jiuyu in this mansion, and Jiuyu will not have anything in this life.

Thinking of this, Jiuyu let out a long sigh, sitting in the porch, she began to regret a little that she had returned to the palace at that time, if she hadn't come back to see that look, if she hadn't stayed because of her soft-heartedness, would Su Zisheng slowly forget about herself, and then marry her? Now that she is back, Su Zisheng has never mentioned marrying another or taking a concubine. This made Jiuyu even more uneasy, which man in the Heran Dynasty was not three wives and four concubines? What's more, Su Zisheng is the prince of the dynasty.

"Why is it here? What do you think? Beware of colds. ”

"Not much, just remembering something."

"What do you think?"

"I was wondering if the Chen family was really crazy, if she was pretending, would it be bad for my mother, and what was the purpose of that Du Hongwu. Did she just want to marry into the Murong family to enjoy the blessings? ”

"You think about so many things in your head every day, aren't you really tired?"

"Isn't it a very tiring thing to live?" Jiuyu smiled and slowly stood up, Jiuyu has been worried about it for the past few days, as if she was not worried for a moment.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jiu Yu still made this decision, and on this day she went to the palace to visit the queen's mother.

"It's been a long time since you've been here, how have you been?"

"Good, just ......"

"Just what?"

Jiuyu shook her head, "Niangniang, Jiuyu wants to ask the emperor for something." ”

"You are the emperor's savior, so naturally you can say anything."

Jiuyu came to the emperor's imperial study, "The emperor is safe." ”

"Princess, please get up."

"Your Majesty, Jiuyu came here today, is there something to ask for, or is it better to kneel and say."

"Something? Say it. ”

"Jiuyu wants to give up the position of princess, and is willing to be a side room, and ask the emperor to choose a concubine for the prince."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "You and Zisheng have gone through so much and are finally together, why is this so?" ”

"Jiuyu can no longer prolong the heirs for the prince, and now he doesn't want the prince to have no queen, so he is willing to give way."

"You also genuinely care about him. It's just that Zisheng will definitely not agree. ”

"That's why Jiuyu came to ask the emperor today."

The emperor was also very embarrassed, but Jiuyu insisted on this, so she relied on her, and Jiuyu, who returned to the palace, was finally relieved, she was waiting for the emperor's decree all day long. Leaning on the couch, she gently stroked the barrier on the side, slowly got up, looked at the objects in the east room, and smiled slightly, these no longer belong to herself. Just waiting for the decree to arrive in the house.

At this time, Shizoran walked in, "Princess, who do you see coming back?" ”

Jiuyu leaned into the door, and it was Red Sleeves and Bixiang standing at the door.

"Miss."

The three of them hugged each other, Bixiang raised her head and wiped her tears, "Why did Miss leave us in the village like this and come back by herself?" ”

"I didn't want to come back, I just ......"

The red sleeves were covered with tears on his face, "Miss, I don't want to leave you again." ”

Bi Xiang slowly lowered her head, as if she had something on her mind, Jiu Yu looked at her heart and felt that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, it seems that there is something on your mind?" ”

"Miss, Bixiang will definitely follow Miss for the rest of her life, don't leave me in the future."

Jiu Yu was stunned, she had never seen Bixiang like this, she had always been very calm, and today it looked like she had something on her mind. Then he replied, "No, we will always be together from now on." ”

Xi Ran stood aside with a smile, watching the three sisters cry with joy, and he was also moved, why didn't he follow the princess earlier? I must be very happy to be her subordinate.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Jiuyu turned around, and it was Su Zisheng standing at the door.

"Do you like this gift?"

"Did the prince bring them back?"

"Otherwise, do you think they can come and go as they please?"

Jiuyu smiled, "Why are you hiding it from me?" ”

Su Zisheng walked in and motioned for them to go out, and the three of them retreated, Su Zisheng gently touched Jiuyu's cheek, "Why are you crying like this." Jiuyu looked at Zisheng in front of him, he really didn't know how to speak, if he knew that he was begging the emperor to choose a concubine for him, he would definitely not be able to accept it, Jiuyu was very entangled, Changsheng ran in, "Lord, the emperor's holy decree has arrived." ”

"Divine decree?"

Although Su Zisheng felt strange, he still had to accept the order.

"The king of Changping took the order."

"Brother takes the order."

"Fengtian carried the emperor Zhao and said, Murong Jiuyu has been in the position of the princess for many years and has not come out, and since today she has been demoted to a side concubine, and ordered the king of Changping to choose a concubine on a certain day, and he admires this." After the eunuch read out the holy decree, Jiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the king of Changping, who was kneeling in the hall, was given a blow to the head by this holy decree for a while, and did not receive the decree for a long time, and the eunuch said "Lord, the holy decree has been issued, please accept the decree." ”

"Brother...... Pick up the order. "When the holy decree was received, everything changed, and Murong Jiuyu was no longer the princess of the Changping Palace.

Jiuyu got up slowly, "Don't be embarrassed for me, the continuation of the heir is a big deal, and I shouldn't have continued to do it in this position." ”

"Changsheng, prepare a sedan chair, I want to enter the palace."

"Lord Wang!" Jiu Yu shouted Su Zisheng, "This matter is a foregone conclusion, the prince must not act recklessly, the emperor's decree has been issued, how can there be any reason to take it back, and now the palace gate has been keyed." How can you enter the palace? ”

"I only want you, why did the imperial brother make this holy decree."

"Lord, you have to think about the royal family's descendants, do you really not want to have your own children? Jiuyu has no ability to have children, do you want to go on like this for the rest of your life? Which man in the Helan Dynasty is not a third wife and four concubines, not to mention that you are the prince? ”

"But ......"

"What's the point? The prince has a concubine in his heart, and I am satisfied. ”

Speaking of this, Jiuyu hugged King Changping tightly, Su Zisheng let out a long sigh and didn't say any more, but he couldn't understand after all, the emperor knew what he was thinking, why did he have to do this, was this really the emperor's idea?

A few days later, the emperor named Qin Songyan, the daughter of Qin Shupei, the secretary of the ministry, as the princess of Changping.

According to the rules of the Helan Dynasty, on the day of the wedding of the prince and princess, the side concubines and ladies in the house must go back to their mother's house for three days before returning to the house. Jiuyu returned to Murong Mansion, and Du Hongwu rolled her eyes when she saw her, she was no longer the same as she had no skin and no face to paste on that day.

Jiuyu sat in the Yuhua Pavilion, stroking the guqin, this song of mountains and flowing water, it was the queen mother's birthday that day, and the repertoire she played with Su Zisheng was so sad to play again today. Obviously, he chose a concubine for the prince, but he was the most uncomfortable one.

Qiu sat aside with a cup of soothing tea, "Drink some soothing tea, and sleep well today." ”

"When did Mother come?"

"You feel bad. My mother knows in my heart that on that day, your father married Chen, and I have the same mind now. ”

Jiuyu took the soothing tea and sighed slightly, "I know that the prince has me in his heart, but I can't give birth to a son and a half daughter for him, so I made this decision." No matter what, I have to leave a blood line for him. ”

"He has no way of knowing your hard work."

"For the sake of the prince, it doesn't matter what you endure." Jiuyu still couldn't control her tears, knowing that they loved each other, and they knew that it was the next step now, but they still helplessly shed tears.

On the other side, there is a prosperous Changping Palace, with a red hijab, a pair of phoenix candles, a woman who walks with weak willows and a wind, and a groom official sitting at the table drinking sullen wine alone.

Changsheng brought in the children and grandchildren, "Lord Wang......"

Su Zisheng slowly got up and looked at the children and grandchildren in the bowl, and then looked at the newlywed wife in a bright red wedding dress, and sneered and knocked over the children and grandchildren, "Get out!" Seeing that the prince was like this, Changsheng sighed and went out, and Xiran stood outside, "Why did the prince kick you out?" ”

"The prince thinks of the princess, how can he have a courtesy with Miss Qin?"

"Even if the prince is affectionate and righteous, my princess is a good woman, who can compare."

"You still say, if the prince doesn't round the house today, it will be a rebellion."

"Will the prince really resist for the princess?"

Changsheng shook his head, "I have been with the prince for more than 20 years, and I have never seen the prince treat a woman like this, how do I know if he will resist the decree." ”

Changsheng is not only an entourage for Su Zisheng, but also a good friend, Changsheng should know Su Zisheng best, but today's matter, Changsheng can't say clearly, Su Zisheng has indeed never been so interested in any woman.

Qin Songyan, who was sitting in the room, slowly lifted the hijab, it turned out that she was so delicate, small cheeks and vermilion lips, the most eye-catching thing was the pair of Danfeng eyes, she said that the hijab was put aside and slowly walked in front of Su Zisheng, "I know, the prince has a heart, Songyan doesn't ask for anything, just wants to give birth to a son for the prince in the future, and then leaves the palace." ”

Su Zisheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at her, "Why?" How would you like that? ”

"The concubine's father has just been promoted, and he wants to please the emperor, and now he has the opportunity to send me out as a burden, and he can be noticed by the emperor and become a relative of the emperor, isn't it great? I was a pawn, and when I realized my value, I could leave. ”

Su Zisheng looked at the weak woman in front of him, and remembered the day of the cave room a few years ago, when would his fate be under his control

"Rest early. I'll go to the study to deal with something. ”

Su Zisheng got up and was about to leave, but Qin Songyan stopped him, "Lord Wang!" ”

"What?"

Su Zisheng turned her head, Qin Songyan clenched the red hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water tightly with both hands, and then let out a long sigh, she seemed to be trying hard to say something but swallowed it.
