Concubine Yan walked in a hurry and soon arrived at Zhaoyang Hall and strode up.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is going to court. If there is no communication, the ladies are not allowed to go in." Two guards blocked Concubine Yan's way.
"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you!" Concubine Yan rushed into the Zhaoyang Palace angrily, holding a basin in her hand and covering it with a red cloth. She couldn't guess what was inside.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you want to be crowned a concubine!" Concubine Yan asked through gritted teeth as she walked in.
Nangong Ming said angrily: "How dare you! Since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere with the government's affairs. Without my communication, how dare you break in privately!"
Concubine Yan said: "Huh, Your Majesty, if I don't have the right to come in, then why does she have the right to enter this place where the court is held?"
Nangong Ming was unhappy and said: "I'm crazy, I'm crazy. Someone, please send me back to rest."
"It's the emperor!" After hearing this, several inner court guards rushed in quickly and tried to forcefully drag the person out.
"Bold, let me see who dares to make a mistake!"
Concubine Yan suddenly pulled away the red cloth covering her hands. When the guards saw it, their expressions changed, including those of the civil and military officials, and they all knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
What Concubine Yan holds in her hand is actually the late emperor’s spiritual throne!
"Bold vixen, how dare you not kneel down when you see the late emperor!" Concubine Yan pointed at Concubine Qian and said angrily.
When Duoduo saw so many people kneeling down, it seemed really sinful for him not to do so, so he wanted to step down from the throne.
Just as she was about to kneel down, Nangong Ming suddenly took action and stopped her and said: "My beloved, there is no need to panic. As long as I am here, no one can touch a hair on your head."
"You... Your Majesty, do you know what you are doing? You are treasonous!"
"What is treason? What is treason? What is unethical? Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to participate in politics. You dare to break into the Zhaoyang Palace without my order. I am a treason. The late emperor has long been in immortality, but you still carry his old man out.
, disturbing his tranquility as an old man, you don’t understand filial piety, how dare you say anything treasonous to me?"
"Hmph, so what if I carry the late emperor out? Don't I have the qualifications? Our Situ family has assisted the king in making achievements for generations, and our achievements are shining brightly. When the late emperor was alive, he loved his concubines very much. If the late emperor's spirit in heaven sees it,
The late emperor would definitely not agree with you treating your concubine like this!"
Nangong Ming snorted coldly and suddenly said with a smile: "Yes, the Situ family is my vassal family in the Southern Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that I tolerate it again and again. Otherwise, do you think you can still stand now?"
Are you yelling at me while standing in the Zhaoyang Palace? I have already relegated you to the cold palace, leaving you cold and alone for the rest of your life!"
"You... Your Majesty, you are so cruel. You actually humiliated me like this for a bitch of unknown origin. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the world?"
"Hmph... stop talking nonsense, even if you have the late emperor's spiritual throne in your hand, I still say the same thing, get out of here while my patience is not at its maximum, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind, come here
, drag Concubine Yan out!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, people's words are terrible. You can't do it. You can't do it. Seeing the spiritual throne is like seeing the late emperor. Your Majesty, think twice!" All the ministers persuaded him one after another.
Nangong Ao and General Situ Nan quickly came out to persuade Concubine Yan to let her leave first.
She didn't want Concubine Yan, but she refused to let her go: "I won't go out. Today, I will pinch this vixen down no matter what. Since ancient times, those who become concubines are all people with prominent family affairs and innocent wealth. Why does she have this woman?"
? She is just a wild woman with unknown origins, and she brought a wild child with her. Why should she enter my Southern Dynasty harem? The emperor is not afraid of being laughed at even if she finds a broken shoe. "
"Shut up, it is my own choice to appoint Qian Fei. How can I allow you to talk nonsense here?" Nangong Ming raised his palm and was about to slap it down.
However, the hand that was raised high was pulled down by someone, that person was Qian Duoduo.
"Your Majesty, you can't fight me, Your Majesty."
"Why can't you beat me? Concubine Qian, she publicly humiliated you in this hall, and you in turn begged for mercy on her behalf?"
"Ah, I don't need you to show off! You bitch, don't think that if you do this, I will let you be included in the ranks of my concubines. You don't even have to think about it!"
Duoduo ignored Concubine Yan and said to Nangong Ming: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you must be tough externally and show kindness internally. This is the way to be a king and what the people need. If
If the emperor fights against the hero for the sake of his concubine, he will definitely be in trouble and make everyone in the world unhappy."
"Well, that's right. Let's take a look. Take a look, ah, how many concubines can there be in the harem who can be so considerate of my country? Even Concubine Yan in front of me is just a concubine who knows what to do all day long.
A jealous shrew."
"This..." Man Chao Wen and Wu looked at each other and were speechless.
"Bitch, slutty fox, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking in your heart. I tell you, no matter how you plead for mercy or how to please me, I will not do that!"
"Please? Beg for mercy? Ha..." Duoduo suddenly raised his hand and slapped him!
"Pah!", the slap was so hard that the clear sound resounded throughout Zhaoyang Hall.
It was not because the sound was too loud, but because the sound silenced everyone and made them completely silent, so it seemed that the sound of the slap echoed in Zhaoyang Hall for a long time.
It took a full ten seconds for the emperor to react and said blankly: "Qian Aifei, you..."
"Even the emperor dared not touch me easily, but you did! I will fight with you!"
Concubine Yan never expected that a concubine who had not yet been recognized by the public would slap her, the daughter of a hero, on the face.
No one can say that her son is a bastard, including the emperor.
Concubine Yan said that the disaster was necessary.
Duoduo watched Concubine Yan wave her claws over, unhurriedly.
Just when his claws were about to catch her, he suddenly kicked out!
This kick was very crisp and clean, and the softness coming from the toes made Duoduo feel very comfortable.
So cool!
It was too late for Nangong Ao to intervene, and he saw his mother flying backwards five to six meters, and then lying on the smooth floor of the hall like a dog.
Duoduo knew that at least half of the people in the hall wanted to tear her apart.
But she won't give them a chance.
"That's right, as the emperor, I can't hit you casually, because you don't deserve it at all. I don't care. If your hands are dirty, just wait and wash them. What should I be afraid of? You bitch!"
"You actually called me a bitch?"
"I? Huh, I just-" Duoduo suddenly changed his words: "Why can't I call you a bitch? I will call you a bitch one more time, you bitch, bitch, bitch!"
"Insolent! How can the majestic Zhaoyang Palace allow you to act so wildly!" Concubine Yan's brother Situ Nan walked out in two steps, pointed at the bridge of Duoduo's nose and cursed: "Even if the emperor favors you again, you should not be so unreasonable.
!”
"What? Do you want me to...let me let your other palace beat me?"
"My beloved concubine...you..." Nangong Ming felt that Duoduo had gone too far. No matter what her status, she couldn't do anything to the daughter of a hero, not to mention that now his favorite general Situ Nan had come out to support him.
His sister, if this happens, the situation will be difficult to deal with.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Duoduo will naturally give you an explanation, give you an explanation!"
As Duoduo spoke, he suddenly snatched the deceased emperor's spiritual throne from Concubine Yan's hand and smashed it to the floor with a "clang".
"Ah!" Everyone in the main hall was moved by this.
Nangong Ming couldn't help but frown, how could this woman become so ignorant? Isn't she usually like this?
The Minister of Rites said angrily: "Your Majesty, I risked my life to invite this woman. This woman is so arrogant that she actually destroyed the late emperor's spiritual throne. This is the most outrageous thing. Your Majesty must not be deceived by her and make a big mistake. I sincerely request your Majesty to send this evil woman to you."
Behead him as a warning to others!"
"I sincerely request the emperor to behead the witch in public to serve as a warning to others!"
Many ministers knelt down almost at the same time, demanding that the emperor immediately order the execution of the witch before they were willing to stand up.
Nangong Ming was embarrassed. He looked at Duoduo with a hint of helplessness, sighed, and stopped talking.
No matter how powerful the king is, he cannot ignore the desperate advice of his ministers... Situ Yan finally showed a proud look on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Humph, I want to see if you can still be tough today."
Until when!"
"I..." The emperor hesitated again and again, and suddenly said: "This is my family matter. I will handle it myself. There is no need for you, my dear friends, to worry."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this! Your Majesty, if I don't get rid of this girl, this trend will continue. Where is the dignity of the country and the dignity of the royal family!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
All ministers must work together to deal with the demon girl severely.
Situ Yan began to act wildly: "Your Majesty, either she will die today or I will die! I am afraid that if I go under Jiuquan, I will inevitably complain when I see the late emperor..."
"Pa..." There was another sound, and Duoduo's slap was also unusually crisp: "Jiuquan is big, Jiuquan, the late emperor is so wise, it is natural to go to heaven, why is there such a saying as Jiuquan?"
After Duoduo finished speaking, he picked up a broken piece of wood for the spiritual tablet from the ground and said: "Everyone, don't say that I, a little girl, have underestimated you. With your level of consciousness, you are worthy of kneeling in this hall and shouting at me hoarsely.
Are you shouting to kill?"
After saying that, he kicked the broken wood on the ground into the crowd.
"Please open your eyes and see clearly who is disrespecting the late emperor!"
"Witch, don't make any excuses! Your Majesty, this woman is so arrogant and unrestrained. If she doesn't kill her second daughter, it's hard to appease the anger in the hearts of my ministers and others!"
The emperor took the wooden block in Duo Duo's hand, looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he murmured to himself: "It has been twenty years since the late emperor passed away, why are the cracks in this wooden block so fresh?
"
"Not only is the wood fresh, but even the paint on the altar is new."
Duoduo looked at Concubine Yan with disdain and said: "Please, next time you find someone to cheat, please find someone more powerful. Don't think that using sandalwood ash to smear it can increase the age of the writing. Hmm, the real age will penetrate the wooden surface and enter."
Wooden."
An official thought it was impossible, so he picked up a piece of broken wood, spat lightly on the wood, and then wiped it with his finger, and the paint on the lettering came on.
"Ah? Your Majesty, I... I have stupid eyes and deserve to die!"
Discussions started all of a sudden in the Zhaoyang Palace, and Concubine Yan, who had been arrogant and domineering just now, was like a deflated rubber ball, slumping to the ground.
"Mom, why are you so confused!" Nangong Ao scolded in a low voice.
"I..." Concubine Yan suddenly cried: "Aren't I afraid that the real tablet will be broken by this witch? Fortunately, I replaced it with a fake one, otherwise, she would really break the ancestor's tablet.
Got it!"
Nangong Ming said coldly: "Concubine Yan, please stop making excuses. No matter what your original intention is, you are guilty of deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors. You kept saying that Concubine Qian Ai was disrespectful to the late emperor, and what about you?
, you actually passed it off as real, I think you should think about how to spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Concubine Yan was panicked and pitiful, and said with tears in her eyes: "I, my concubine, are all thinking about the country of the Southern Dynasty, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
As Nangong Ao and Situ Nan both knelt down to beg, many ministers also begged Situ Yan one after another.
"Huh!" Nangong Ming said with a serious face: "I love you, you must have a conscience!"
Duoduo also sneered and said: "That is, before the truth was clear just now, all the ministers scolded me for offending the late emperor and being disrespectful to the royal ancestors. The crime deserves to be punished. But now the real disrespectful person has come out. It's better for you, a
In turn, she begged for mercy. Isn’t it disrespectful to the late emperor if you do this?”
The Prime Minister came out to make peace and said: "Well... Concubine Qian has a lot of people. It was all a misunderstanding just now. Please show mercy to Concubine Qian."
Many ministers also said: "Please show mercy to Concubine Qian!"
Nangong Mingdao: "Since so many ministers have pleaded with you, Concubine Yan, then today I will-"
"Your Majesty..." Duoduo suddenly answered: "Although many adults have begged me for mercy, I just kept silent, maybe because I don't want to appreciate it, right?"
At this time, many ministers had nothing to say. Everyone was watching. The current situation was already very clear. If she wanted to escape the crime, Concubine Yan would have to plead to the woman herself.
Situ Yan naturally understood the truth. After hesitating again and again, he said humbly: "Please... Concubine Qian..."
"That's enough. I'm not the kind of person who is extremely jealous and always says that either you die or I die. Since Concubine Yan admits that I am still a concubine, then let the whole thing go. But I reiterate
After all, my son is not a wild child."
Situ Yan was relieved. Although Duoduo couldn't let her die, if Duoduo insisted on this incident and refused to let her go, jail would be inevitable.
Remembering what he had just said so brazenly that either you die or I die, Situ Yan's head could no longer be lowered.
In fact, Duoduo had a false alarm. If her sharp eyes hadn't noticed a trace of panic flashing in Situ Yan's eyes, and if Situ Yan's hand holding the coffin hadn't been shaking slightly, she wouldn't have been sure it was a fake.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Nangong Ming said: "This is the end of today's morning court, leave the court!"
Zizhuyuan is equivalent to the guest room in the palace. Duoduo has now transformed into a noble concubine. It stands to reason that she should have her own palace.
However, Duoduo insists on living in Zizhuyuan, so that when Nangong Jie comes to find her, she can at least meet her. If she lives in some palace, then Nangong Jie wants to find her, or she wants to leave the palace.
But it's not that easy.
After retreating from the court, Nangong Ming went to the Imperial Study Room, approved all the important memorials today, and then walked straight to the direction of Zizhuyuan.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of Zizhuyuan, a group of concubines saluted in unison and said, "I, my concubines, are here to see you, Your Majesty."
"Huh? Why are you all here?"
In fact, Nangong Ming knew the reason without asking. After living in the palace for a long time, everyone has learned to adapt to the situation. Today, Concubine Qian was favored, so naturally they all came to Zizhuyuan.
Duoduo said: "Your Majesty, these sisters have given me many gifts. Look, I almost have no place to put them here. Please let them take all the gifts back."
"Hey, this is a good thing. It means everyone likes you. How can I have the nerve to help you refuse everyone's kindness?"
"Yes, yes, the emperor is right. Sister Duoduo, please don't be polite."
"Okay, okay, I have something to tell Concubine Qian, so you should go back first."
The concubines all laughed and said, "I see, the emperor wants to whisper to sister Duoduo. Oh, it's good to be young. The emperor hasn't whispered to us for a long time."
"Haha, that's that, sisters, let's not be a two-person world that hinders others. Let's fight wherever we come from."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines will take their leave first. Your Majesty, please take it easy. Our sister Duoduo's body is so delicate..."
Nangong Ming chuckled and said: "My beloved concubine-"
"Hey, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I forgot for a moment that I have to call you Duoduo when no one is around."
"Originally, we have agreed that Duoduo and the Emperor will only be a superficial couple. The Emperor is not allowed to stay in Zizhuyuan at night. Even if he stays overnight, he can only sleep on the floor, or Duoduo sleeps on the floor."
Nangong Ming poured himself a cup of tea, sat down and said slowly: "Of course I remember these, Duoduo, you don't have to be so nervous. After I appoint the crown prince, I will immediately abolish your concubine position and let you be with Jie'er."
Duoduo smiled and said: "That's pretty much it... Your Majesty, please don't break your promise."
"Hey, Duoduo, tell me, if I were twenty years younger, would you also like me?"
"Ah?" Duoduo said: "The Emperor loves to joke. If you are twenty years younger, then Duoduo is just a three-year-old child. How can you like the Emperor?"
"Ah? Haha, Duoduo, your answer disappoints me."
Duoduo didn't want to talk about such a topic with the emperor, so he changed the topic: "Alas... the emperor said that as long as I become your concubine, the two princes will not be unwilling to make progress because of my existence, but now it seems
But that’s not the case, I’m afraid that fool will be even more depressed because of it.”
"Humph!" Nangong Ming said: "That guy really makes me worried. The purpose of making you my concubine is to test his self-control. Look at his performance in Zhaoyang Palace today, he didn't take me seriously at all.
However, it is Ao'er's performance that makes me feel gratified."
