That's how she acts. If you have anything you want, you can put it forward directly, and in the bottom of your heart, if you don't push the emperor away, you think the emperor can give it.

"Even if you don't say it, I won't think it's a good thing," the emperor said, "but this is a matter of the court, you don't understand, you don't have to understand." ”

"Yes." The imperial concubine lowered her head and didn't say much.

It's not that she doesn't understand, but she just shows that she doesn't.

The princess who sent out to make peace is actually no different from the protons sent to other countries during the war, but it just gives the other party a bottom in his heart, so that his country can take care of it when he sends troops. But throughout the ages, no one will care about life and death when the protons are sent. When the nation is going to war against the country that holds him in charge, his life is the same as the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep that are used to sacrifice the flag at the time of war. They are all supposed to sacrifice for the country.

But she was in the harem, and the emperor had never told her about his intention to destroy the Thunder Kingdom in the end, so she couldn't show her insight.

"But as the princess of the Windy Country, she enjoys this honor, and she must also be able to bear the mission. If the prince of Lei Kingdom comes, there will be nothing wrong in the whole negotiation process, and it will be difficult for me to use the clan girl to humiliate him. What's more, using the real princess to make peace with us can make Lei Guo relax his vigilance against us. ”

"But ......," the imperial concubine said a little timidly, "there is not only one princess in Weiyang Palace. But there is only this one daughter of the concubine. Your Majesty, the concubine has been sensible all her life, and this time, the concubine really wants to show favoritism. Just this time......"

Obviously, in the emperor's heart, he didn't mean to get rid of Ning'er. This point was expected by the imperial concubine a long time ago. For the emperor, if he wants to use the serious princess in Weiyang Palace to make peace, it makes no difference whether his sixth daughter or his seventh daughter goes. Since Lei Qianliu is the sixth princess, why doesn't he put aside the beauty of adults for the time being? There's no need to worry too much about this kind of thing, you have to twist Lei Qianliu's meaning.

But she only has this one daughter, and she can't let the emperor push her heart and liver into the fire pit so casually.

"Things are not as simple as you think, do you know, if you want to take into account your selfishness, how much trouble will it take with you to do things in the court?"

But after listening to the emperor's question, the imperial concubine didn't say anything. just stopped rubbing the emperor's hand, turned squatting into kneeling, and hung his head. This is a way to show your determination.

She has been with the emperor for many years, and the emperor naturally understands her temperament. She knew that she didn't have to say anything at this point, but it was better than many words.

Seeing her reaction, the emperor sat up slightly and said: "If I intend to be friendly with Lei Guo, and Lei Qianliu just fell in love with Ning'er, but I want him to marry a princess born of a singer and a low-ranking beauty who died early, wouldn't it mean that there is no sincerity in harmony?" It is no different from asking him to marry a daughter of the clan. ”

"So if you want to use this to make Lei Guo relax his vigilance, there is no need to make more fuss about this matter, the best way is to let him marry the person he wants to marry in a friendly manner."

The imperial concubine hung her head, tears dripping silently.

The emperor didn't say anything anymore, he was a little annoyed, and leaned back in his chair.

The imperial concubine still knelt quietly and did not speak.

She was giving the emperor time to think about it. Her resolute attitude must have annoyed the emperor. But the emperor is not an impatient person, so if he is annoyed for a while, he doesn't need any persuasion, and he will be fine after a while. After leaving this moment of annoyance, when you are quiet, you will naturally think about it.

After a long time, the imperial concubine said softly: "It has been twenty-two years since the concubine entered the palace at the age of sixteen. His Majesty treats the concubines with kindness, and the concubines are now old and decrepit, but the grace of the saint is not relaxed. The concubines respected, loved, and thanked Your Majesty in their hearts. Therefore, I have never asked Your Majesty for anything that makes Your Majesty particularly difficult. But this time......"

The imperial concubine kowtowed heavily to the ground and choked up: "The concubine knows that this ignorant act is really a disgrace to the saint and has failed His Majesty's grace to the concubine for many years. Can...... The concubine had only one daughter...... The concubine is now thirty-eight years old, and it is impossible for her to be pregnant again. The beauties in the palace are stubble after stubble, and they are urged by these teenage girls, and the concubines are getting older and older. The concubine is only afraid that in another three or five years, His Majesty's thoughts of even coming to the concubine to talk will gradually fade......"

"The deep palace is lonely, even if the concubine is a quiet character, but in the bottom of my heart, I always hope that someone can come to this empty Yilan Palace and talk to the concubine. If Ning'er is married closely, she can always come to see her concubines during the New Year's holidays. The concubines look forward to this New Year's Festival every day, and they can also have a hope in the future. It is said that the daughter is the mother's little padded jacket, and the concubine only thinks that when the deep palace is bitterly cold in the twilight years, she can have this little padded jacket to warm her body......"

"Your Majesty, when the concubine is old, the concubine will also be afraid of ......"

Although the imperial concubine's voice was very calm, she was only slightly choked and said softly, but the tears fell down in large drops.

So far in her life, among all the concubines, she can indeed be regarded as happy. Even if she is the queen of Kunning Palace, she can't compare with her. The queen has an empty throne, but she has the emperor's favor.

But what about ten years from now? Twenty years from now? Thirty years later......

If the queen finally becomes the queen mother, what about her, what should she and Chen'er do?

Her and Chen'er's lives are hanging on the line, but Ning'er is different. The daughter who marries out is the person of her husband's family, even if there is a disaster one day, the prince has no reason to involve Ning'er in the crime. It doesn't matter if she lives or dies, but on her daughter-in-law's side, if it really comes to disaster, at least there will be one hiding reason to deal with.

She is old, she has been trembling in this Weiyang Palace all her life, and at the end, she can't help but plan for her children and grandchildren. She only has this one daughter, whether it is for the mutual care between their mother and daughter, between brothers and sisters, or just for the happiness of their daughter's marriage, it is impossible for her to let her daughter marry far away to that barbarian land as a pawn abandoned by the royal family, and finally end up with a blood sacrifice flag.

After saying this, the imperial concubine still just hung her head quietly, and she didn't even dare to choke out, but her tears were like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't stop.

In fact, she has no bottom in her heart. She can only be sure that after listening to her cry, the emperor will definitely not be annoyed, and the emperor will feel a little sorry for her. But this distress is not sure if she can get into trouble for her sake.

She's gambling.

If you lose this bet, that's the end of today.

But she will not give up and will continue to plot about it.

At this time, the emperor had already gotten up. Put your feet on the ground and sit firmly in your chair. Looking at this man who knelt on the ground and wept silently......

She has been with him for twenty-two years. If she hadn't talked about it today, he would hardly have remembered, it had been so long.

She stayed by his side for a long time, but made him ignore his age......

In the blink of an eye, she was thirty-eight years old.

When she first entered the palace, she was such a delicate and agile girl. Now, although her face still retains the same appearance as it used to be, it is even more delicate than when she first entered the palace. But in her eyes, there was no longer the ignorance she had when she first met.

Over the years, he had never noticed these changes in her. has not paid attention, she has changed from a carefree girl to a woman in the deep palace who is careful every step and always worried. She didn't say it, but he always felt that she was living peacefully in this palace. If you don't fight, you don't grab or be jealous, and if you are wise, you won't have any worries or troubles.

But in her gentle service, in her gentle and soft words, there are so many worries.

She just didn't say it.

She pressed all this in her heart and solved it herself, when he came, she brought him only a sense of stability and comfort. When he came, she used her gentleness and wisdom to let him relax his mind here; He was gone, and she lived alone in fear until he came again......

Of course, every woman in the palace is like this.

But for him, Yaomin was a little different.

She was the first to evoke his boyish tenderness. He still remembered that when she had just entered the palace, he hurried to her palace as soon as he arrived, just wanting to see her earlier.

After a long time, those young absurdities naturally lived up to their existence, but from beginning to end, she was always different in his heart. The rest of the women in the palace are only used for use; And she...... Even if he no longer has skin to skin, he still thinks about her, and will still come to see her and accompany her.

She aroused his initial emotion, and always possessed the only love for women in his heart, although it was not heavy.

After so many years, if you think about it carefully, she really only made such a request that could make him embarrassed.

But if you think about it, is this really too much to ask?

Thinking about it carefully, if he agreed to her, would it really be difficult to do those related court matters?

It's just a little bit of trouble.

But even if it was just such a little trouble, at first, subconsciously, he was reluctant to do it.

I don't know when this heart has become so cold as black iron. Even the only woman he loves deeply is so impatient.

The emperor looked at her heavily, sighed for a while, and stretched out his hand to help her up.

Gently kneading her hand, there was a long-lost young tenderness in her voice: "Don't worry, I won't let Ning'er marry into the Thunder Country......"

After a pause, he still made a promise: "I won't let you be alone in Yilan Palace." As long as I'm alive, I'll come to see you often. ”
