Extra: Imperial Etiquette 9
That's a terrible statement.
There was a machete hidden in the cotton, and it shook Empress Feng into it in one fell swoop.
As soon as His Majesty came back, he announced the dissolution of the harem before the heat came over, saying that it was not Empress Feng who sowed discord, who would believe it??? Throughout the ages, haven't men wanted the more harems the better? Who would dislike beautiful women on the side??
And His Majesty did the opposite, what can he say other than being threatened by the wind on the pillow???
Besides, Empress Feng's jealousy is famous.
At that time, he designed to execute Gao Meiren and drive away his own sister, so that all the concubines were frightened and did not dare to compete with him at all. said that she didn't rely on His Majesty's favor to ask for no concubines in the six palaces, who would dare not believe it?
His Majesty remained silent.
And Empress Feng remained silent, as if it wasn't her at all.
It stands to reason that it is inappropriate for her to be silent at this time, and she must stand up, whether it is sincere or fake, and pretend to kneel down, and beg His Majesty to give up this unreasonable practice and let him leave the concubines behind. In this way, it is the style of the mother world.
However, she didn't.
She actually sat motionless all the time, and even the look on her face never changed.
Countless pairs of eyes were on her, and she knew it perfectly.
But I still didn't care.
She just looked at Concubine Li, and the corners of her eyes flickered. Since she has done everything she should do instead of herself, then, this good person, why not let her continue to do it??
Concubine Li saw that the emperor and the empress had the same face, and she was not sure whether she should continue or not. However, up to now, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and I have to bite the bullet.
"Your Majesty said that the harem should be dismissed, and all the concubines who have no children should be invited out for placement. However, there are five sisters here who have children for His Majesty, several princes, and several little princesses, all of whom are His Majesty's relatives and flesh and blood, even though they can go to the fiefdom and have fine clothes and food, but since then, father and son have been separated, and flesh and blood have been separated, which has never had any precedent in history...... If His Majesty insists on this, then the concubine asks for the concubine to be exiled. Anyway, the concubine has been in the palace for several years, there is no son and half a daughter, and there is no size credit, the ends of the world, the green lantern ancient Buddha, no matter what, it can be left but remnant. However, I beg your Majesty to remember the past and let the sisters who have suffered from childbirth stay......"
After she finished speaking, she fell to her knees.
The concubines, who had already knelt together, were like exploding at this time. At first, they wept secretly, and at this time, they couldn't hold back anymore, and they burst into tears one by one, and fell to the ground and wept bitterly.
"Please be gracious to Your Majesty......"
"Please be gracious to Your Majesty......"
"The concubines and others begged to stay by His Majesty's side and serve ......"
……
Suddenly, the palace of Nuoda was crying, and people who didn't know it might think that His Majesty had died and ascended to heaven. When Concubine Li saw them crying bitterly, she also knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Tuoba Hong looked at this woman who was crying bitterly, as if he had suddenly become a negative man, deceiving these women of their youth, beauty, and body...... Then, the chaos began to be abandoned......
Feng Miaolian was still high, sitting side by side with the emperor, and did not say the slightest bit about this farce of grabbing the sky and the earth. Not even shocked at all.
She even secretly speculated what she would do if she was Concubine Li now???
At this time, a concubine suddenly raised her head, and her voice was full of crying and choking: "Queen Mother...... Please, be gracious...... Concubine, I beg you......"
The other concubines heard her speak, and immediately blessed their hearts, yes, instead of asking the emperor, why not ask the queen?? It is the king to ask for the queen. The culprit is the queen, it is her jealousy that makes His Majesty give such an order, as long as she speaks, there is room for reversal.
"Ask the queen to be gracious...... The concubine's child is still young, and the concubine doesn't want to go to the fiefdom......"
"The concubine's children are also young...... If the concubine stays in the palace, she must serve His Majesty and the queen with all her might...... Ask the mother to be gracious......"
"I beg the queen to be merciful and compassionate...... The queen has always been merciful......"
…………
Tuoba Hong was indifferent, but when he saw that these people suddenly turned to the queen, his face immediately sank, and he was about to speak, but he saw Feng Miaolian stand up and said loudly: "Don't cry first, listen to me." ”
The crying immediately subsided.
Tuoba Hong was about to stop her, but he couldn't interrupt at this juncture, and he didn't know what she was going to say, so he let her.
Feng Miaolian smiled, and her voice was very hearty: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't ask for the wrong person." Whether you leave the palace or stay in the palace, it is Your Majesty's greatest reward and favor to you. And I'm ...... Myself...... If I have a son and a daughter, I would rather live in freedom with my children, and from then on I will be free and free......"
The faces of the concubines changed.
They looked at each other.
"You've known that for a long time, so I don't have to beat around the bush. Even if I wanted such a blessing, I didn't have the chance...... Alas......"
It was the queen's death hole.
Since she had a difficult birth, although it was strictly forbidden to talk about it in the court, the grapevine declared that the queen mother could not have children in this life......
This is her biggest secret, and everyone avoids this, why did she blow up her own shortcomings???
She still didn't change her face, and sat upright, looking at the woman who was crying bitterly—they really didn't want to go out, right? Even if it is to go to the fiefdom or go back to her parents' house, once you go out, it is equivalent to an abandoned woman.
There is only a thin line between the abandoned woman and the widow.
When she returned to the family temple to recuperate, although she had a large number of rewards from the emperor, and sent gifts every once in a while, she was still met with countless white eyes from her mother's family, and they all saw that she was dead, and there was no chance for Dongsan to rise again.
Not to mention these women.
Once you reach the fiefdom, you will never have the opportunity to return to Beijing.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great...... The concubine was already a barren woman. And His Majesty is in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the concubines are ashamed that they are not qualified to stay with His Majesty, and the concubines also ask themselves to leave, please ask Your Majesty to grant permission......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Empress Feng, she didn't intercede for anyone, she just asked - she and these concubines left together.
Tuoba Hong was stunned.
There was no expression on his face, as if he had been greatly shaken. For a while, my mouth was dry and I couldn't say anything.
Concubines, you look at me, I look at you.
In the cold winter, there is a stove and flowers in the palace, and spring is full of joy. But at this moment, those stoves could not dispel the deep chill at all. Everyone felt cold and shivered all over.
