A Luo said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are serious. You have helped me so many times and you have already made me feel ashamed. How can I dare to accept your courtesy again?"
"What are you saying to others? Accept it quickly, otherwise I will be angry." Without waiting for A Luo to reply, she said with a stern face: "Or, you have some objections to me, so you don't want to accept it."
My gift?"
"No, that's not what I mean, slave. It's just..." A'luo couldn't think of anything to say to refuse. He looked at Xianyue, who said, "Since it was rewarded by Shu Concubine, just accept it."
Seeing what she said, A Luo no longer refused, took the brocade box and said, "Thank you, my dearest lady."
"That's right." With that said, Yehenara took a seat on the palace attendant's hand, and then said with emotion: "I have been waiting for so long, looking forward to this day, but I have finally arrived.
I believe that this is not only A Luo's wish, but also the empress's wish." After saying this, she added: "But having said that, I really didn't expect that A Luo and Hui Bin turned out to be half-sisters.
.”
"Not to mention Concubine Shu, I was also shocked when I heard about it. The relative A Luo has been looking for for so many years turns out to be by his side. Unfortunately, he found out too late and didn't even see him for the last time.
"
Yehenala nodded and said: "Perhaps this is God's will to trick people, but the result is good after all." After a pause, she said: "When Aluo gets married, the queen must be busy with many things. If you need help from me, I will help you."
Yes, your Majesty, feel free to speak, but don’t be polite to me."
Xianyue said with a smile: "Don't worry, Concubine Shu, I will definitely not be polite to you." They are polite and cordial to each other. People who don't know about them would think that they are a pair of excellent sisters.
After Yehenara sat for a while, she stood up and left. After she left, Zhichun frowned and said, "Has this concubine Shu changed her gender? She not only helped A Luo again and again, but also specially sent congratulatory gifts. She
Weren't you very close to the Corriette family in the past?"
A Luo stared at the brocade box in his hand and said slowly: "Kriyette is dead. Now Shu's concubine has no backer and not much favor. Naturally, she has to keep her tail between her legs and be a good person, but the situation is easy to change.
, nature is hard to change; she is still her and will not change."
Xianyue said coolly: "No matter what, it is a good thing that she is willing to help you and Fu Heng, otherwise your affairs will probably have some twists and turns."
A Luo walked up to Xianyue, knelt down and said, "But she must have a purpose for helping the slave. I heard that the emperor has been to Jingren Palace more often than before. Master, you have to be careful."
Xianyue patted her hand lightly and said, "I know what's going on. Just take care of your own marriage. Don't worry about my affairs."
Zhichun wrinkled her nose and said, "Without Concubine Shu and Wei Changzai, this palace would be really peaceful." After that, she said again: "Master, if there is only one more day, one month, Wei Changzai will be there."
Once she gives birth to a child, the emperor will probably make her a nobleman, so we have to find a way quickly."
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "Do you think I haven't thought of any way during these days? But after Wei Jingxuan was restored to power, she acted extremely cautiously, and even I couldn't find an opportunity to take action."
A Luo stared at her and said, "Not only that, she also tries to please her in every way. Although the emperor doesn't treat her well, she has changed a lot compared to before."
Zhichun spread his hands and said: "What should we do? Just let her give birth to a child and become a noble person? It would be fine if her appetite stops here, but it is obviously not the case."
A Luo thought for a while and said: "Now we can only slowly look for opportunities. Being too impatient will give her the opportunity to turn her back on herself. This woman's mind will never be shallower than that of Concubine Yu."
Zhichun said helplessly: "This is the only way."
While they were talking, Hongli was talking to Ling Ruo in Cining Palace. The former frowned and said with thick black eyebrows: "Empress, is this really the case?"
Ling Ruo twisted the whisk beads in her hand and said: "Yes, several elders in the court have mentioned this matter to the Ai family and asked the Ai family to talk to the emperor. I don't know what the emperor's intention is."
Hongli said without hesitation: "My son has no such idea for the time being. Besides, the imperial concubine manages the harem very well. It doesn't matter whether she establishes a queen or not."
"The Ai family also expected that you would say this, but...the words of the emperor and several elders also have some truth. The throne cannot be hung for a long time. You will eventually become the queen again." After a moment, Ling Ruo said: "It's still you.
Still thinking about the Fucha family?"
Hongli did not answer her words, but only said: "Even if the son really wants to establish a queen, he will choose from the harem. Instead, he will choose a son who does not know his character and temperament to be the queen."
"Choose in the harem..." Ling Ruo repeated it slowly and said: "Over the years, several high-ranking concubines have either committed crimes or died, leaving only the emperor's concubine and concubine Yi, concubine Ying, and concubine Yi.
Mediocre and unfit for the big task, Concubine Ying's time as the fourth concubine was still short, and the only one left was the Imperial Concubine; in terms of talent, virtue, and affection for the emperor, the Imperial Concubine was excellent, but her background,
Emperor, you should know very well that when you were established as the imperial concubine, you almost caused an uproar. The queen..." She shook her head and said: "I'm afraid that the whole court will turn upside down. Although you are the king of a country, you are also the king of a country.
You cannot completely ignore the wishes of the courtiers. You must know that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. This water does not only refer to the people, do you understand?"
"The son understands, so the son has no intention of naming the imperial concubine as the queen. But the son also said that except for the queen, he will not let anyone pass the imperial concubine. If he goes by the words of several elders and ministers, he will appoint the imperial concubine as a royal concubine.
To be the queen, doesn’t it mean that I have violated my son’s promise to the imperial concubine?”
Ling Ruo didn't say a word about this and just said: "Then the emperor wants to delay this matter first?"
Hongli stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Yes, I hope that the emperor's mother will be safe on behalf of her son."
Ling Ruo motioned him to sit down and said: "The Ai family will naturally help you, but it can only be delayed for a while, but not forever. This matter will be brought up again sooner or later, and the emperor must make a decision as soon as possible."
"My son knows." After Hongli responded, Ling Ruo said again: "The Ai family has heard that you have issued a decree to marry Fu Heng and A Luo today?"
Hongli said accordingly: "Yes, the two of them have endured so many hardships, and it's time for them to be together. I didn't inform the Emperor's mother in advance, and I asked the Emperor's mother to forgive me."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "This is a good thing, there is nothing to forgive. The Ai family will ask Yang Hai to buy a gift to send to the Yanxi Palace later. I hope the two of them will cherish this hard-won happiness."
"
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't mean to blame, Hongli felt relieved and said with a smile: "My son thanked the emperor's mother on behalf of the emperor's concubine and A Luo." After a pause, he added: "By the way, the emperor's mother always said before
