On the day Qin Zhao was born, Xiao Ce issued an imperial edict in the morning without warning, announcing the dissolution of the harem.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it immediately shocked the court and the public.
At that time, many ministers knelt down and begged Xiao Ce to withdraw the imperial edict, but Xiao Ce turned a blind eye and did not change his original intention and announced the disbandment of the dynasty.
When the beauties in the harem heard the news, they all rushed to Kunning Palace to find out what happened to Qin Zhao.
When Qin Zhao saw so many people coming, she was secretly glad that Xiao Ce had thought carefully, otherwise she would have had to deal with all these people during her confinement period.
Qin Zhao saw that the ladies were noisy and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, please be patient!"
The room gradually became quiet, and Qin Zhaocai said: "The imperial edict has been issued. This is a fact. It is also a fact that the harem will be disbanded. But don't worry, everyone, you will go home after leaving the palace. You can get married if you want in the future. This is better than being a widow in the harem.
."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Some of them are old and have been in the palace, so how can they marry again? Even if they want to marry, there may not be anyone who dares to marry, right?
After all, what about the woman who was once the emperor? Wouldn’t that be cuckolding the emperor?
"Is what the Queen said true?" someone asked cautiously.
"Of course it is true, and after you leave the palace, the emperor will give each of you a generous dowry! With this dowry, even if you don't marry again, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you can marry again,
This dowry will also give you enough confidence in your husband's family." Qin Zhao added.
This dowry represents the attitude of the royal family and the king of Da Qi.
After hearing this, everyone who had been quarreling suddenly felt that it would be good to leave the palace.
Anyway, they are still living as widows, and no matter what, they are still living as widows at home. If they are discriminated against by their families and kicked out of the house, don't they still have the dowry? They have money in hand, why are they afraid that they will not be able to survive?
"If you have suffered any grievances due to the dissolution of the harem when you return home, you can submit a sign to the palace at any time, and I will support you. I can also give you another promise. If you are discriminated against after returning home, you can leave my family.
Set up your own business!" Qin Zhao said again.
She knew that some people were not willing to enter the palace at first, but after entering the palace, they were known as the emperor's women. If they were sent home, they would definitely be left out in the cold.
She is also a woman, and she knows that this world is too harsh for women, so she came up with the following compensation plan.
As soon as she said this, all the ladies who came to make a scene knelt down on the ground in tacit understanding and thanked her in unison.
Most people left Kunning Palace happily and planned to pack up and leave the palace.
There is also a small group of people who are unwilling to leave, including Mr. He.
She rushed to Qin Zhao and said, "I don't want to leave the palace!"
She would never get pregnant in her life, and no one would be willing to marry her even after leaving the palace. Why would she leave the prosperous place of the harem?
"The emperor's decree is an imperial edict and will not be based on your personal wishes. Please step back." Qin Zhao opened his lips calmly.
He wanted to say something else, but Baozhu and Baoyuan blocked his way.
Knowing that the situation was over, He turned around in confusion and walked away in despair.
To this day, she still can't understand how she ended up in such a situation. She has obviously thought about it. As long as she is still alive, she will still have a chance to deal with Qin Zhao in the future.
But she has no future, and she is not like other women who can remarry. She will have to do this for the rest of her life...
The last two people to leave Kunning Palace were those who had always been closer to Qin Zhao, namely Li Yunv and Wu Baolin.
"I never thought I would be able to return home in this life." Li Yunv was the first to speak.
Wu Baolin also felt the same way: "Yes, it's something I dare not even think about."
After all, there is no hope in the palace. It is better to be able to leave the palace now than to live in the palace until death.
"If you miss me, you can also hand your sign to the palace and chat with me to relieve your boredom." Qin Zhao joked: "As soon as everyone leaves, the palace becomes really deserted. I don't even have anyone to talk to."
"It's enough for my sister to have the emperor. In addition, His Highness was just born, so my sister will be very busy in recent years." Wu Baolin said and sighed: "I really didn't expect that the emperor could do this for my sister."
It is Qin Zhao's blessing to be able to marry a man like the emperor.
Li Yunv and Wu Baolin chatted for a few more words before saying goodbye to Qin Zhao and leaving.
In the next few days, all the ladies left the palace one after another.
In the end, only Wu Xirou and Yun Ran were left.
For this reason, Qin Zhao specially discussed it with Xiao Ce. Finally, Qin Zhao went to Yonghua Palace and met Yun Ran.
What happened recently reached Yun Ran's ears. She knew that all the residents of Yonghua Palace had left the palace. This incident left her in a daze for a long time.
She was thinking that others could go home, and she hadn't received the news yet, so maybe she would end up the worst.
Qin Zhao once asked her alone if she was willing to leave the palace, but her answer still lingered in her ears.
Now that everyone else has left, she is still in Yonghua Palace. It is better to live in a cold palace than in a cold palace.
Just when she was getting desperate, familiar footsteps came from outside, and she could tell that Qin Zhao was here.
In other words, she can know her fate today.
The moment the door creaked open, Yun Ran's heart was in her throat.
Not seen for many days, Qin Zhao is still very noble and beautiful. She is holding a pink little person in her arms, who is the newly born second prince.
Bao Zhu was afraid that it would be too hard for Qin Zhao to hold the baby, so she immediately found a stool for Qin Zhao to sit on.
Qin Zhao looked Yun Ran up and down and saw that Yun Ran was different from the last time he saw her. Last time, Yun Ran still had a lot of anger, but this time he was much calmer.
"I am not a kind person, Yun, you know that, right?" Qin Zhao spoke after looking at Yun Ran.
Yun Ran nodded slightly: "It's because I don't know how to promote myself. The Queen once gave me a chance to choose. It's because I didn't understand the painstaking efforts of the Queen."
What doesn't she understand now? It was just that she was blinded at that time, always thinking that she could compete with Qin Zhao, always thinking that she was young and beautiful and had a chance, but in the end she ended up like this.
"No matter how the empress punishes me, I am willing to accept the punishment, as long as my family is not harmed by me." Yun Ran knelt down in front of Qin Zhao with a sincere expression.
Qin Zhao looked at Yun Ran quietly for a while and then said: "I didn't want to give you a dowry, but you have a good attitude. Like other sisters, I will give you a dowry. Get up and go home early to reunite with your family.
"
Yun Ran was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had not heard the mistake.
She looked at Qin Zhao stupidly: "Has your Majesty forgive me?"
