Hongli was silent for a long time before he said: "According to the emperor's wishes, you can't make Xianyue a noble concubine, right? But this would be too unfair to Xianyue."
"The Ai family did not say that it must not be sealed, but if it is sealed, Concubine Hui will also have to be sealed, and Xianyue cannot cross Concubine Hui. Do you understand?"
"My son..." Hongli gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Bin is just a minister, but my son is the emperor. How can the emperor be controlled by his ministers?"
"The Aijia knows that you feel aggrieved, but an army is easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. Since your Majesty Ama has entrusted this country to you, you have the responsibility to protect it. The Yongding River, the Yellow River and other rivers,
They all need to be governed." Seeing that Hongli didn't say anything, she added: "The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. The emperor should have read this sentence well since he was a child, and there is no need for Ai Jia to explain it again."
"Yes, I know that I knew that it was because of Gao Bin that I knew Concubine Hui was at fault and didn't pursue it, but now I want to do this again. I'm really not willing to accept it."
"Concubine Hui made a mistake, you can punish her, but not now, in the future..." Ling Ruo said with a smile: "There will be a chance."
Although Hongli still felt grievances in his heart, he still understood that the overall situation was the most important thing and said: "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me."
Ling Ruo nodded slightly and said, "In that case, Ai Jia would like to remind you that although Xianyue looks different from before, she is a Nala after all. You should be careful and don't believe it too much."
Hongli nodded, and after a moment of silence, he motioned for everyone in the palace to go down, and then said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I want to follow the example of Emperor Ama, secretly establish a crown prince, and establish Yong Lian as the crown prince."
Ling Ruo said with some surprise: "Yong Lian is still young, and you have not reached the age of 30, so there is no need to be so anxious about establishing a heir apparent. However, if you have made up your mind, the Ai family will not say anything, you can just make your own decision.
.”
After receiving Ling Ruo's words, Hongli said: "Since the emperor's mother has no objection, I will gather all the ministers in a few days and put the secret decree behind the bright and upright plaque."
Ling Ruo nodded in agreement, and when Hongli was about to leave, she suddenly said: "If the emperor has decided to appoint Xianyue as his concubine, he should inform the queen in advance. In addition, you should also explain to the queen what happened last night.
.”
Hongli lowered his head and said: "I know that I originally planned to go to Kunning Palace."
Seeing that Hongli had already made arrangements, Ling Ruo said no more. After the latter left Cining Palace, he went directly to Kunning Palace. After learning that Mingyu was resting in the inner hall, he walked straight in.
Mingyu was leaning on the couch to rest his mind. When he heard footsteps coming in, he opened his eyes inadvertently. When he saw it was Hongli, he was surprised and happy. He quickly put on his shoes and stood up, but felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Hongli supported her. After helping her sit down, he asked with concern: "What's the matter? Are you dizzy?"
"Yes, I think I stood up too fast, so I was a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a while." At this point, she said coquettishly: "On the other hand, Your Majesty, why did you come in so quietly without letting anyone know?
, I was shocked."
Hongli said dotingly: "If I send someone to pass the message, you have to get up to greet me. I know that you are not in good health, and I don't want you to be too tired. By the way, how is Yongzhang? Is he okay?"
Mingyu said helplessly: "The third elder brother suddenly left his biological mother. How does the emperor think he can be well? When he was brought here, he cried for a long time before he managed to coax him. By the way, the emperor, what happened last night? Why did he harm my concubine?
Will a person suddenly become the Su family?"
"I came here just to tell you about this matter." With that said, Hongli recounted what happened last night. Mingyu was greatly shocked when he heard that. After a long time, he said, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, I almost can't believe it, but the truth is the truth. The person who harmed you was Su Shi, not Xiayue. We all misunderstood her and made her suffer in the cold palace for so long. Looking back,
I’m really ashamed.”
Mingyu didn't say anything. Although it had been proven that her allergic attack had nothing to do with Xianyue, she thought that Yonglian had confronted her several times because of Xianyue, and even when she was seriously ill, she still helped Xianyue in every way.
It felt like there was a thorn in my heart, I felt uncomfortable.
It seems that...in Yonglian's heart, Xianyue, the aunt, is more important than her, the mother-in-law.
When Hongli saw that she was silent, he thought she was feeling uncomfortable again and said, "What's wrong?"
Mingyu came back to his senses and said: "It's nothing. What the emperor just said is really unbelievable. I can't accept it for a while. I really can't imagine that Su is such a person."
When Hongli heard Su's name, his expression turned cold and he said: "Not just you, everyone was deceived by her. If she hadn't been pregnant with my flesh and blood, I would have given her the death penalty."
Mingyu nodded, holding back the trace of unhappiness in his heart, and said: "Since Nala has been proven innocent, please ask the emperor to restore her to the position of concubine Xian."
Hongli smiled and said: "I plan to make her a noble concubine. What does the queen want?"
"Noble concubine?" Mingyu looked at Hongli unexpectedly and said, "How could the emperor suddenly have such an idea?"
Hongli didn't notice Mingyu's abnormality and said: "Xiayue was not guilty, but she was locked up in the cold palace for many days and suffered a lot. Now making her a noble concubine can be considered as compensation from me."
If Hongli had said this before this incident happened, Mingyu would definitely agree, but now her feelings for Xianyue have changed, and she even has a knot in her heart. After a moment of silence, Mingyu said: "I think I
, although Xianyue has indeed suffered some hardships after staying in the cold palace for these days, the position of noble concubine must be gentle and virtuous, and can only be occupied by a person who can be a role model for women in the world. It does not seem unreasonable for the emperor to use it as compensation.
suitable."
Hongli never thought that Mingyu would object to this proposal, so when Mingyu said these words, he was very surprised. He looked at Mingyu carefully and said, "The queen thinks that I should not appoint Xianyue as a noble concubine?"
Mingyu met his gaze and said: "Yes, I think that Xianyue is not old enough to be a noble concubine. If the emperor wants to compensate Xianyue for suffering in the cold palace, he can give her gold, silver, pearls, jade, silk and silk.
"
Hongli frowned greatly, "Aren't you and Xianyue always on good terms? Why is your attitude so strange this time?"
Mingyu said sincerely: "It's one thing for me to be friendly with Xianyue, but it's another thing to follow the rules. I don't want to be partial but frank."
Hongli stared at Mingyu for a long time, shook his head and said: "Queen, are you hiding something from me?"
"The emperor is joking. How can I hide anything from the emperor?" Even so, Mingyu unconsciously avoided Hongli's gaze.
"No, you must be hiding something from me." Hongli paused for a moment and said: "Queen, I have been married to you for many years. If you have anything to do, you can tell me. If it is reasonable, I will definitely respect your opinion."
