Chapter 38: Punish your concubines
"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you will have countless beauties after the selection of concubines, so naturally you must be covered with rain and dew, otherwise wouldn't those beauties be sad?"
Xia Yichen looked at her and persuaded herself sincerely, and her eyes became colder and colder.
"The queen is really big-hearted."
Mu Huayin nodded again and again, and said very gratefully, "Thanks to the emperor's praise, the concubines should do their best for the emperor's sake." ”
"You were ...... in the Imperial Garden"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Mu Huayin knelt down with a "plop", "The concubine is wrong, please punish the emperor." ”
Xia Yichen was stunned, and he didn't say that he would punish her.
"The concubine beat the county lord with her hands, and she was bold and reckless."
"The concubine took off her coat in front of the public, which is undignified."
"As a queen, the concubine took the lead in stirring up trouble in the harem, and she is not worthy of the queen's virtue."
"The concubine's sin is unforgivable, please ask the emperor to punish the concubine heavily."
Looking at Mu Huayin, who was obediently kneeling in front of him and confessing his guilt, Xia Yichen suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar.
He remembered that that night in Huaqing Garden, Mu Huayin also knelt down like this and begged him to punish him.
Since he was a child, he has never seen a second person who happily accepted punishment like Mu Huayin.
That earnest feeling, it seems that he wishes to be punished.
So he shook his head and decisively refused.
"No, I don't want to punish you."
"Your Majesty, please, punish the concubines quickly."
"No, I refuse."
Mu Huayin stepped forward and hugged his leg, "No, Your Majesty, you must punish the concubines." ”
Xia Yichen's face darkened a little.
"You can't do it without punishing your concubines."
Xia Yichen's face darkened a little again.
"The concubines are all for your good."
Xia Yichen's face was so black that he was about to thunder and rain.
He spit out two words like gold, "Why?" ”
"The concubines caused such a catastrophe today, if the emperor does not punish the concubines, then it is not a shadow to protect the concubines, how should the emperor explain to the eldest princess?"
Xia Yichen's expression froze.
Yes, he punished Cheng Songxue today, and according to Cheng Songxue's temperament, he will definitely not give up.
And he is really not easy to explain to the eldest princess of Changping.
After all, the eldest princess is his own aunt.
"So what, I am the emperor, I can punish whoever I want, and I can protect whoever I want."
If he can't even protect his own queen, then what else does he have to do as an emperor.
Mu Huayin sighed.
"The concubine is very grateful to the emperor for his love, but the concubine doesn't want to cause the emperor's family relationship to be unharmonious because of herself, and the concubine will be guilty."
"The emperor has just ascended the throne, the regime is not very stable, although the eldest princess has not been an official in the court, but since the previous emperor was alive, she has intended to get involved in the regime and consolidate her power."
"What's more, the eldest princess's concubine is the general of Dingxi who holds the power of the army, and the emperor can't help but guard against it."
"Today's incident was originally done by the concubines, the emperor does not have to favor the concubines, and must not let the emperor and the eldest princess have a dislike because of this trivial matter."
She said a lot intermittently, but every sentence was heartfelt.
These are all the situations in the DPRK and China that she learned about when she studied the list of concubines in the past few days.
Being an emperor is not so easy.
Xia Yichen looked at Mu Huayin, who was kneeling in front of him, holding his legs, and begging him to punish him.
He suddenly felt a little warm in some unknown place in his heart.
All those who have made mistakes are desperately trying to get his forgiveness.
Only Mu Huayin is desperately trying to get his punishment.
She is the only one who will stand in his position and think about him.
