"Concubine..." Mingyu was in a dilemma. She didn't know whether to tell the truth. After hesitating for a while, she said: "Although the emperor found out what happened before, it had nothing to do with Xianyue, and she was not the concubine who harmed her. But I
When I think back to the past, I always feel that Xianyue's approach to Yonglian is impure, as if she intends to alienate the concubine and Yonglian."
Hongli was very surprised by what she said and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I used to have great trust in Xianyue. No matter what she did, I never doubted her. But later I discovered that Yonglian was no longer as obedient as before. Whenever Xianyue was mentioned, Yonglian would definitely help her.
He talked, even contradicted me several times, and his temperament became surly. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he couldn't listen. If it weren't for Xianyue, how could he be like this? "
Hongli didn't expect that Mingyu would say such words. After a long time, he said: "Yonglian helped Xianyue speak because Xianyue is indeed innocent. Yonglian can see it more clearly than I, you or even anyone else."
, so he helped Xianyue speak. Maybe because
Because he was young, his tone was a bit exaggerated, but there was no malice, nor was it disrespectful to you, the Queen, nor did he have a surly temperament. Moreover, when he stayed temporarily at Queen's house, he was very well-behaved and sensible.
There was never a time when I was disobedient."
Mingyu did not agree with his words and said: "Yonglian is just a six or seven-year-old child. How can he see so clearly? He is simply blindly following Xianyue. Even if there is a mountain of ironclad evidence today, it proves that everything is Xianyue."
Whatever he does, he will also speak for Xianyue."
Hongli chuckled and said, "You are overthinking. This child Yonglian has always been sensible and intelligent. Although he is young, he has his own reasons for doing everything and will never blindly follow anyone."
Mingyu looked at him and said: "When did the emperor start to trust Xianyue so much? Didn't you tell me before that you should be careful about Xianyue?"
"You also said it was in the past. Everyone will change, and Xianyue is no exception. I believe that she is completely different now and is no longer the same as before."
Mingyu said stubbornly: "No matter what, I do not agree with the emperor's appointment of Xianyue as a noble concubine at this time."
Seeing that she couldn't listen to his advice, Hongli's face sank slightly and said, "What if I must register? How will the queen be treated?"
Hongli has always loved Mingyu very much. They have been married for many years, and it can be said that they have never violated Mingyu's wishes. Therefore, when Hongli said these words, Mingyu felt extremely surprised and could not believe himself.
After coming back to his senses, his eye circles suddenly turned red, and he said hoarsely: "If the emperor insists on canonizing me, of course I can't do anything, but I won't recognize her as a noble concubine no matter what."
Mingyu's words made Hongli very unhappy, and he emphasized his tone: "Queen, when...when did you become so unreasonable?"
"I am unreasonable?" Mingyu repeated Hongli's words excitedly, and then said: "The emperor has never said this to me, but now he is blaming me for the imperfect moon?"
Seeing her like this, Hongli became more and more displeased and said: "I have told you so much, but you haven't listened. Xianyue never wanted to separate you mother and son. She sincerely treated Yonglian well and even saved her.
Live forever."
Mingyu was startled and said, "Has she saved Yonglian?"
"Yes." Hongli recounted what A Luo told him, and then said: "If Xianyue just wants to separate you mother and son, why bother to protect Yonglian like this."
Mingyu lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Aluo is the maid of Xianyue. Who knows whether her words are true or false."
Hongli held her shoulders and sighed: "Queen, what's wrong with you? I will be suspicious of anything I tell you?"
Mingyu met his gaze and said in a solemn voice: "I don't doubt the emperor, I doubt Xianyue. Therefore, I cannot agree with the emperor's order."
"You..." Hongli didn't know what to say. He had known that there would be opposition to the canonization of the imperial concubine, but he never thought that this person would be Mingyu.
After a long time, he took back his hand and stood up and said: "The queen is tired, so take a rest. I will come to see you another day."
Mingyu didn't get a clear answer from Hongli and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty..."
Hongli interrupted her and said, "I know what you want to say, and I will reconsider this matter." After that, he strode away without looking at Mingyu again.
However, just as he stepped out of the threshold, he unexpectedly saw a small figure, who was it if it wasn't Yong Lian? The latter blinked his eyes as black as ink pills and whispered: "Huang Ama, you and Huang Fore...
Did Mom have a fight?"
Hongli knelt down, stroked his head and said, "No, Huang Ama just had some different opinions on some things with your empress, so we had a few arguments."
Yong Lian carefully took a look inside and said, "I heard this because it was about my aunt." Before Hongli could speak, he said anxiously: "Has my aunt come out of the cold palace?
Hongli nodded in acquiescence, and then said: "Huang Ama has found out that your aunt is not the murderer of your empress. What you said before is right, she will not use you to harm others."
Yonglian said happily: "Where can I go to see my aunt?"
Hongli smiled and said: "Of course you can, but you still have some misunderstandings in your heart, so why don't you go see Concubine Xian later? During this time, please spend more time with your Queen, and let your Queen
Know that the person you love and love the most has always been her."
Yonglian looked at Hongli with some embarrassment, but finally nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."
Hongli patted his cheek and said: "You're so good. Okay, go in and accompany your empress. Be careful and don't make your empress angry. The emperor will come see you in two days."
After stepping out of Kunning Palace, Hongli let out a long sigh. In the past, he and Mingyu had broken up on bad terms because of Xianyue's incident, but this time, he was at a loss as to what to do.
He wanted to make Xianyue a noble concubine to compensate her for the suffering she had suffered these days, but he had to consider Mingyu. Knowing that she didn't like it, insisting on making her a royal concubine would ruin the relationship between their husband and wife. This was not what he wanted to see.
He had promised Mingyu that he would put her first in everything except the common people and the country. He had promised Mingyu for the rest of his life. He did not want to break this promise.
Hongli walked aimlessly in the palace. When he stopped, he found that he had arrived at the Yanxi Palace unknowingly. He was stunned for a long time, but finally did not go in.
At dusk, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a peepshow. Xianyue, Zhichun and others gathered around the newly delivered peepshow. Zhichun exclaimed: "Master, this mirror reflects so clearly that you can even see a few hairs."
Qing, if I hadn't known that this was a mirror, I would have thought that there was someone exactly like me standing opposite."
