Chapter 224 If This Heart Changes, Heaven and Earth Will Exterminate!
Chapter 224 If this heart changes, heaven and earth will destroy you!
The back hall of Qian'an Palace and the Sheng'an Palace.
After retreating from the palace guests and closing the door to the inner palace, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but start to get angry: "What kind of concession is this?! Let me discuss with the future queen to decide who to choose to enter the palace?! Huh! The person chosen by the queen! , I didn’t like it either!”
Wen Xiaotu cast a sidelong glance at His Majesty the Emperor: "Hey, hey, aren't I the one chosen by the Queen Mother to enter the palace?" - Ya's thinking before speaking!
Mingzhao's expression froze, and he quickly held Atu's hand and said, "I'm really angry. I just want to say that my mother's taste is very bad."
Wen Xiaotu’s black line: What do you mean by ah? You’re such a straight man!
"Ahem!" Mingzhao coughed twice and looked at him sincerely, "I didn't mean that! Atu is an exception. No matter who I scold, Atu doesn't count."
Wen Xiaotu sighed, forget it, she really didn't have time to argue with the emperor about these unintentional words, "Now, what should I do?" - the Queen Mother bit the "draft" to death and refused to let go, and the emperor said: The draft is impossible!
It’s simply impossible to coordinate!
The draft in the Daxuan Dynasty was different from that in the Qing Dynasty. The draft was specifically for the emperor to choose only one candidate. Therefore, the remaining show girls must be members of the emperor's harem and would never be married to a clan relative. This is according to Confucian etiquette. It's incest.
Therefore, it is impossible to choose a beautiful girl but not enter the harem.
It would definitely not work if a talent show was held and no one was left.
Therefore, the Queen Mother wanted the Emperor to choose new people to enrich the harem.
"Actually, I don't want to be drafted either." Wen Xiaotu said sincerely.
Ming Zhao felt happy and quickly took A Tu's hand.
Wen Xiaotu showed an unbearable look: "If you choose a beautiful girl to enter the palace, you will have to remain a widow. This kind of immoral thing, I really don't want to do!"
Ming Zhao only felt that the words hurt his heart. His eyes were dark and his voice was full of unhappiness: "Atu, are you scolding me?"
Wen Xiaotu laughed and said, "Of course I am also worried, in case there is a new person who will make the country and the city fall in love, and the emperor will be tempted."
Ming Zhao's eyes became even more displeased: "In your eyes, I am the kind of person who thinks differently?!"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly waved his hands, "That's not what I meant. You are the emperor. Even if you find someone else you like in the future, I will not blame you for this."
Ming Zhao only felt heartbroken when he heard this. Why couldn't A Tu believe that my sincerity remains unchanged?!
He took a deep breath, raised his eyes and said seriously: "If this heart changes, let me - Heaven, punish, and Earth, destroy!"
Wen Xiaotu was shocked. These words were too serious, and the ancients were all superstitious! Wen Xiaotu hurriedly covered the emperor's mouth: "How can such an oath be made carelessly?"
Feeling the soft little hand on his lips, the Emperor Mingzhao held the hand and said, "I didn't make an oath randomly, I meant it."
Wen Xiaotu lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty... don't be like this." At this moment, the more sincere the emperor's intentions were, the more at a loss she felt. If she chose not to believe it, it seemed a bit too hard-hearted; but if she chose to believe it, who could guarantee that he would never believe it? Change? The word "forever" is too long.
She hurriedly changed the subject: "Let's forget about the matter of becoming a queen. If you can't be the queen, it doesn't matter." - In fact, it doesn't matter at all. It is only natural that she becomes the queen and Jing Jun becomes the prince. The position can also be more stable.
Thinking of the Queen Mother's stubbornness, Ming Zhao also had a headache, "The Queen Mother is really unreasonable, otherwise, I would just issue an order!"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive! If you try to persuade the Queen Mother again, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
Ming Zhao frowned and said, "My mother is very stubborn this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to give in again."
Wen Xiaotu was silent, not because the emperor refused to draft... In fact, if she could exchange for the position of queen and Jing Jun's position as prince, she really wouldn't mind adding a few newcomers to the palace to gain favor.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaotu suddenly felt that she had gone too far. She actually thought of selling herself to the emperor... How could she be so heartless and unjust!
No, no, no, I can't have this idea anymore!
One cannot, at least one should not...
Ming Zhao's eyes were filled with uncertainty, "Don't worry, Ah Tu, I will definitely finalize this matter this year! I will hold a ceremony for you to be crowned queen at the latest in spring next year."
Wen Xiaotu was surprised that he spoke so firmly? Is there a way to deal with the Queen Mother?
Ming Zhao's face was full of gloom, "I will find a way to make the queen nod."
Wen Xiaotu smiled bitterly in his heart, what else can he do?
Alas, why does this woman bother women? The older the Queen Mother gets, the harder it is to take care of her.
Mother-in-laws in ancient times were not fuel-efficient lamps!
"But the previous dynasty...will the turmoil continue?" Wen Xiaotu said weakly. Although he should not be involved in politics, after all, the previous dynasty was talking about the harem.
Ming Zhao's face darkened as he sharpened his knife: "I can't convince the queen mother yet, and I can't handle a group of courtiers?!"
Wen Xiaotu touched his nose and almost forgot that this was His Majesty the Emperor who had real power and acted toughly.
Within a few days, several officials from aristocratic families whose leaders had strongly recommended that the emperor choose a lady from a famous family as his queen were successively dismissed by the emperor. Some were dismissed from office, and some were demoted. Instead of getting the queen position, they had their own sons included.
This is called losing the wife and losing the army! A certain courtier with ill intentions who asked for the concubine to be a good concubine was also thrown into disgrace and was even exiled to Lingnan.
Now there is only one voice left in the court, that is, please make the imperial concubine Wen, the mother of the emperor's eldest son, the queen.
However, the Queen Mother's attitude remained unchanged.
There was really nothing the emperor could do, but the emperor did not stop at all from the previous dynasty's campaign, as if he wanted to use the previous dynasty to force the Queen Mother to nod.
Wen Xiaotu was afraid of irritating the Queen Mother, so he advised the emperor: "We can't rush this matter, or we should take it slow. Let's go to the Summer Palace to stay for a while and let both of us calm down."
The emperor accepted her opinion.
Then, the emperor said: "This time, I will only take you and our children to the Summer Palace."
Wen Xiaotu's eyes widened. She wanted the emperor and the queen mother to calm down with each other, not to further the cold war!!
She was about to cry, "Don't make trouble. Aren't you afraid of making the Queen Mother angry?"
The emperor Ming Zhao said angrily: "In these days, I don't know how many times I begged my mother, but she never looked good! My mother didn't worry about whether I would be so angry that I would be broken, why should I worry about her?!"
Wen Xiaotu's head was as big as a bucket, "Otherwise, it's better not to go to the Summer Palace."
Ming Zhao said bitterly: "Go! I must go! And if my mother doesn't agree, I won't come back!"
Wen Xiaotu’s black line, you are already in your thirties, not a three-year-old! Can you please stop being so willful and childish!
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said: "Actually, why not wait for this matter?"
Ming Zhao said angrily: "Why should I wait?! I won't wait, I must let the queen nod this year!"
