Chapter 188: Didn't You Say You Would No More Concubines
"Zhuo Ran is willing to promise Niangniang, I only hope that Niangniang can keep her promise and avenge the Zhuo family!" Zhuo Ran knelt down, dressed in white, resolutely awe-inspiring!
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
After Meng'er hurriedly checked, she was stunned and hurried back.
"Big girl, the emperor is here!"
Zhuo Ran was stunned.
Sheng Yi was slightly stunned.
Zhixia and Jian Wu glanced at each other and frowned, "This-"
Immediately, Sheng Yi reacted and asked calmly, "Miss Zhuo, where can I hide temporarily?" ”
Up to now, Zhuo Ran is extremely admired and trusted for this ally, and stretched out his hand to look at the inner room, "If Concubine Sheng doesn't dislike it, you can enter the inner room to avoid it." ”
Sheng Yi walked in quickly with Zhixia and Jian Wu, and then closed the door.
Here, Zhuo Ran packed up his clothes, sorted out his thoughts, and instructed Meng'er: "Meng'er, open the door!" ”
At this time, Huo Jiheng stood calmly at the door.
Meng'er opened the door and respectfully blessed the body: "The emperor, please come in!" ”
Huo Jiheng nodded, and secretly slandered: Today's treatment is better than yesterday.
Then, Zhuo Ran also walked out of it and said, "The people see the emperor!" ”
Although it is not a heavy gift, it is not overstepping, Huo Jiheng thought in his heart that the treatment is better than yesterday, and if he can enter the door and sit down and talk about it, it is progress.
However, these are Huo Jiheng's inner dramas, he is in charge of the life and death of so many people, and he has been in a high position all the year round, and he has long exercised his determination to look like usual.
"Get up."
Then, Huo Jiheng sat down, and Zhuo Ran was still standing.
"Sit down." Huo Jiheng felt that the next words needed Zhuo Ran to have a calm mind.
Zhuo Ran didn't twist, and sat opposite Huo Jiheng generously.
"I thought about it for a long time yesterday, since you want to see revenge for your father so much, I can't agree to your conditions immediately, there is only a compromise that can meet the requirements!" Looking at Huo Jiheng's complexion, he seemed to be confident.
Zhuo Ran was also very curious, what other way could he have both, so he asked softly: "Please ask the emperor for advice." ”
Huo Jiheng looked at the flawless Zhuo Ran, and said slowly: "The best way is for you to enter the palace as a concubine!" ”
Zhuo Ran was startled, and subconsciously glanced at the inner room.
The sheng yi in the inner room was also shocked, and couldn't help but be secretly unhappy: the old lady tried her best to think of it, but you wanted to recruit peach blossoms!
Regarding Zhuo Ran's reaction, it was obvious that Huo Jiheng did not expect it, "What? You don't want to? ”
As the Son of Heaven, since he was a child, everyone wanted to pounce on him, not to mention the women who lined up at the gate of the harem, who did he want but didn't get? If a little folk girl can enter the palace, it must be the grace of the ancestral tomb on fire.
Zhuo Ran looked at Huo Jiheng neither humbly nor arrogantly, and suddenly had an idea in her mind, she wanted to test whether the emperor was worthy of Sheng Concubine's good intentions, so she boldly threw out a question, "The folk girl once heard that the emperor once threatened not to accept any concubines into the palace in order to let Sheng Concubine Niangniang enter the palace, but is it true?" ”
Zhuo Ran's words immediately made Huo Jiheng's face sink, and also made Nalan behind him break out in a cold sweat.
Huo Jiheng was in the way of face, and his face was still calm and replied: "There is such a thing." ”
At this moment, Zhuo Ran's face was subtle, and he asked rhetorically: "That-"
No woman has ever dared to speak so bluntly, Huo Jiheng suddenly became full of interest in this Zhuo Ran, he didn't mind Zhuo Ran's "fierceness", and patiently replied: "My promise to Concubine Sheng Niangniang is always valid, and I will not force you to do anything during the time you enter the palace, and I also believe that if Concubine Sheng can know the reason, she will definitely understand my thoughts." ”
Although this remark expressed his love for Sheng Yi, he put himself in another question, "Didn't the emperor waste the life of the people when he summoned the people's daughters into the palace?" ”
Nalan Shen said: "Miss Zhuo, you should know how many noble girls from the family may not have this opportunity!" The emperor's plan is like this, not only can you watch the enemy subjugate with your own eyes, but the most important thing is that your life will be worry-free! ”
It's not that Nalan is outstanding in PUA, it's really that ancient women follow the three subordinates: follow their father at home, follow their husband when they marry, and follow their son when they die, if they want to live brilliantly in such a male-dominated society, they must be attached to men, and the most noble man in the world is the emperor.
Zhuo Ran met Nalan's gaze and asked rhetorically: "Maybe becoming the emperor's concubine is the dream and pursuit of many noble daughters of the family, but on the contrary, the people's daughter is not such a person......
Nalan was in a hurry, "You-"
Huo Jiheng immediately stopped, "Nalan! ”
Then, he solemnly said to Zhuo Ran: "I naturally want to respect your ideas when I make this suggestion, if you are willing to enter the palace as a concubine, I will protect your life glory; If you only want to see revenge, you can leave at any time as long as you want to, and I will not persecute you. ”
This may already be Huo Jiheng's biggest bottom line.
It's just that Zhuo Ran just looked at Huo Jiheng so straightly, ignoring Huo Jiheng's proposal indifferently until Huo Jiheng's expression gradually became solemn.
"Looks like you're not willing to give it to me?" Huo Jiheng asked coldly.
Zhuo Ran replied skillfully: "The people's daughter has never said this, the emperor is the Ming Jun of Dajin, and if you hand it over to you, I think my father will be pleased if he knows it, but Zhuo Ran has the grievances of ninety-five people and has to be cautious." ”
Nalan wanted to say anything, Huo Jiheng stopped Nalan, "That's it, Miss Zhuo has her own insistence, I naturally won't persecute it, but I still say the same thing, no matter whether this thing is given to me or not, Suo San is guilty and the Zhuo family is wronged, once it is found out, I will still not hesitate to clear the traitor, and return the Zhuo family a clean slate!" ”
After that, Huo Jiheng sank his face and instructed Nalan: "Let's go!" ”
This "negotiation" seems to have failed on the surface, but Zhuo Ran really felt the emperor's heart and measure, if this was put on other monarchs, I am afraid that Zhuo Ran would have been in a different place long ago.
After a long time, Zhuo Ran said leisurely: "Concubine Sheng, come out!" ”
Sheng Yi heard it clearly behind the door, and she also understood what Zhuo Ran meant to help her get angry.
"Concubine Sheng, it seems that the emperor still cares about you."
The corners of Sheng Yi's mouth hooked, "Miss Zhuo has a heart." ”
said so, but felt a little lost in my heart, maybe this is a common disease of men in ancient times, I just hope that the women around me can always be empathetic, but I never take the initiative to discuss anything with them.
Fortunately, the person Sheng Yi met was just a little machismo, and if he really wanted to see it, it would really be in vain to waste his thoughts.
"Niangniang, can Zhuo Ran ask you a question?" Suddenly, Zhuo Ran asked.
Sheng Yi, who was contemplating, looked at Zhuo Ran with a clear expression, "You say." ”
"If the emperor really wants to take a concubine into the palace, what will you think?"
Sheng Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Since he is the emperor, the palace has never expected him to favor only the palace, if the emperor really wants to accept a concubine into the palace, as long as the emperor needs it, the palace will not stop him!" ”
looks so virtuous and sensible, it really makes Zhuo Ran sigh that even a person like Concubine Sheng Niangniang has to obey the emperor like this, it can be seen that entering the palace is not a very happy thing.
And Sheng Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, was still thinking about Zhuo Ran's question, of course she hoped that Huo Jiheng would no longer accept concubines into the palace, but she kept reminding herself that Huo Jiheng was the emperor, as long as he was the emperor, he would be constrained by all kinds of power, and it would be even more difficult for him to really be favored.
And there is only one way to solve this dilemma: she herself is so strong that she is not only his concubine, at that time, it will not be Sheng Yi desperately to be favored, but Huo Jiheng can call her with equal respect - madam......
