"Concubine?" The Queen Mother heard this and said in surprise: "Don't you want Baili Rong'er to be the main concubine?"
"I don't have one!" Concubine De looked innocent and said with some disgust: "What is Baili Rong'er's background? How can she be the Princess of Beirong."
It turned out that she was not the principal concubine. The Empress Dowager stared at Concubine De and thought again in her heart.
The Princess of Beirong has a very important matter. If she wants to be included in the royal family tree, she and the queen must agree to the decree before they can get married.
Although a side concubine also has to be on the royal jade plate, her status is far less important than that of the main concubine.
Even if she, the emperor and the empress were not willing, Rong Qian and Baili Rong'er had decided to get married on their own. No matter how dissatisfied they were, it was a done deal and the most they could do was scold them a few times.
Why did Concubine De come to beg her? Is it just because Concubine De did not know that her every move must consider the balance of the three forces of King Nanrong, King Xirong, and King Beirong...
Intuition told the Queen Mother that the matter was not that simple.
And the truth is indeed not that simple.
"Empress Dowager, please give the order." Concubine De's voice was long and soft. If she were a man, her bones would probably be tender. But the Empress Dowager is a woman, and she hates women like Concubine De.
"No." The Empress Dowager shook her head. Regarding the affairs of King Nan Rong, King Xirong, and King Beirong, all the matters required the emperor's nod. If she agreed without permission, she would be going against the emperor. That would be a suicide plan.
Moreover, Baili Rong'er was obviously not a good match. Even if it was a concubine position, the Queen Mother would not agree to it.
The Empress Dowager's attitude was very firm, and she would not agree no matter what Concubine Ren De said.
Concubine De did not expect that asking for a marriage would be so difficult. To be honest, if there was no other way, Concubine De would never put her hot face on the cold ass of the Queen Mother.
Because of the Empress Dowager's cold refusal, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.
Outside the house, the atmosphere between Li Shuxian and Baili Xixi was not good either.
The eunuchs and maids stood far away on the other side. Li Shuxian's face was still cautiously respectful, and she spoke without any polite words: "Baili Xixi, what benefit does smearing Rong'er do to you? Ah? Of course.
How could you say those words in front of the Empress Dowager and Concubine De?"
"Li Shuxian." Baili Xixi snorted coldly and called him by his name without politeness. "What is slander? Everything I said is true. You know best."
Li Shuxian stared at Baili Xixi hatefully, "Do you really want to go against me?"
Baili Xixi shrugged, "If telling the truth is against you, then I have nothing to say."
"Don't do this, you think I don't know that you are jealous of Rong'er." Li Shuxian said coldly: "Bali Xixi, if you are smart, you should understand your identity and go against me. It will do you no good.
harm."
"Oh?" Baili Xixi pretended to be surprised, "How do you say this?"
"Hmph." Li Shuxian raised her head and said very conceitedly: "I think you know best what King Dongrong looks like when he dies."
Li Shuxian glanced around and saw that she, Baili Xixi, and Yiduo were the only three people. She still lowered her voice and said: "Rong'er marries King Beirong, and she is Princess Beirong. King Beirong is deeply loved by His Majesty, and has a bright future."
.If King Dongrong dies in the future, if Rong'er and King Beirong say a word for you, they might be able to save your life."
Li Shuxian said to Baili Xixi: "If you are smart, you should help us."
