He had the same idea at the time, but now he was slapped in the face.
Naturally, I also thought of the emperor. For a moment, I felt depressed and wanted to strangle the previous Concubine Leng to death.
"Okay, today is our family banquet. Let's keep our gratitude in our hearts. No one will forget their achievements." The emperor didn't want to hear Luo Jingyao praise the so-called soldiers. When he mentioned it, he would think of his previous
decision to make.
"Father, now that I have mentioned it, without them, there would be no stable life in our rear areas. The prosperity of the country cannot be separated from a generation of wise kings, and it is also inseparable from the soldiers. There are thousands of people in the world, each with their own shining point.
They provide their own strength for the country and society in areas that we cannot see. We should thank them. The living have families, relatives and friends, and the deceased...should we respect them together?"
I'll let you guys be so mean-mouthed, let's do it together.
Luo Jingyao poured a glass of wine, held it in her hand, and looked at the emperor, as if waiting for him to come first.
The emperor looked at the imperial concubine calmly, and the imperial concubine's face turned pale. She knew that the emperor was expressing his anger.
But she didn't expect that it was just a little bit of trouble, and it was her daughter's family matter. How could she know that Luo Jingyao didn't act according to common sense, and was she just pretending to be embarrassed and shy?
"That's what it should be." Having no choice but to hold up the wine glass, the emperor said: "Let us toast the heroes together and thank them for not fearing life and death, protecting our family and country, and allowing us to live a stable life with no worries about food and clothing." Since we can't refuse, then
You should take all this good reputation into your own hands.
Everyone in the hall poured the wine into the open space in front of them. The originally clean floor was now not only overflowing with the aroma of wine, but also flowing everywhere.
The men's robes are shorter, but the women's robes are all gorgeous and beautiful. The longer they are on the floor, the better, and the skirts underneath are all wet.
Luo Jingyao gloated for a moment, and Prince An naturally saw it too. He knew that this girl was very cunning. The dress on her body was not as long as others, but just right.
It looked really indecent, so the queen made the decision and asked everyone to go down and change their clothes, and then the family banquet officially started.
"Although what the imperial concubine said just now was inappropriate for the occasion, it is for your own good. You must take care of yourself. It is your responsibility to spread the branches and leaves for King An." The queen took a sip of wine and said.
Everyone else pricked up their ears to hear how Luo Jingyao would answer.
They know that Luo Jingyao is indeed not old enough, but this is where they are aristocrats. If it were in the countryside, a thirteen-year-old girl would have been a mother long ago. Where could she be allowed to have a baby if she wanted to, and not if she didn't want to?
.
Luo Jingyao had just picked up a piece of glutinous rice duck, then put it down again and looked at the queen with raised eyebrows.
"We are both women, and the empress should know better when is the best time for a woman to get pregnant. We are nobles and royals. We should be more civilized to guide the most beneficial way of survival. We cannot do anything for the so-called spreading of branches and leaves among women.
To conceive an heir before they are fully grown and to lose one's life is to say that a woman's life will be ended by being unlucky. Even though she is a woman, she cannot look down on herself."
Luo Jingyao was still angry as she spoke. She was only fourteen years old, so she had to do something for her husband? Please forgive her for not being able to do it. She was selfish. Instead of doing it for her so-called heir before she was an adult.
She can't give birth if she doesn't cherish her own life.
"You are being treasonous and arrogant. Women should regard their husbands as their top priority. If there were no husbands to support everything for women, where would our happy days be? This kind of life of fine clothing and fine food is all for men.
I gave it to you." The imperial concubine curled her lips and said, clinging to the emperor's arm.
The queen and other women also looked at Luo Jingyao with disapproval. This statement was indeed bold.
"I do not deny that some women owe their good lives to men, but not all women cannot live without men and can only cling to men as dodder flowers."
"Oh, so Princess An can live a good life without Prince An?" The queen squinted her eyes.
"It's undeniable, isn't it?" She has enough capital to live a good life.
Luo Jingyao raised her eyebrows. She didn't want to bear it any longer. Even if she contradicted the emperor, the emperor could not do anything to her. It was her upbringing to give them respect. The emperor who did not have military power in his own hands had no say. Fortunately, his ministers
They are loyal, and the queens can control their posture better than the emperor.
The queen's face froze, and the eldest princess looked at Luo Jingyao in shock.
But it is indeed undeniable.
Luo Jingyao's dowry was a hundred bucks more than the queen's. Behind her were the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Zhenxihou Mansion. By the way, her surname was Luo, and the Luo family was her backing.
No wonder the emperor was afraid.
How not to be afraid.
The imperial concubine didn't say a word at this moment. She was afraid that Luo Jingyao, a lunatic, would attack her. She didn't know what was going on, as if she suddenly changed into a different person.
"Princess An has learned the virtues of being a woman again." The queen endured her anger. She could endure it when Luo Jingyao was weak, but now that she is tough, she can't bear it.
"Indeed, I think it is best to let Princess An stay in the palace for a while, so that she can learn the rules. When she leaves, the empress will send two nuns to take her back, so that they can help Princess An in normal times."
She still resents Luo Jingyao for making her son unable to get off the table.
"That's true, then just follow what the imperial concubine said."
Two women, each saying a word, seemed like Luo Jingyao had to bear it.
"Father, the princess is young, and my sons and daughters are used to her being by my side. I'm afraid it's not feasible to stay in the palace." King An looked directly at the emperor.
The emperor's face became even more gloomy, because Luo Jingyao said nothing and her expression did not change, which showed that she would not really obey.
But King An even brought it up specifically.
"Prince An is very caring, but this palace is also doing it for your own good. Princess An must be prudent and consider the overall situation. The child's temperament cannot provoke the middle-ranking officials in Prince An's palace." The queen seemed to have made Luo Jingyao surrender.
"Are you questioning your father? At that time, your father gave me an imperial edict for the marriage. The imperial edict did not say that I have a child's mind and cannot stir up trouble in Prince An's palace."
"you,"
"The empress has repeatedly told the imperial concubine that I am not well-educated and that I am not familiar with the female virtues and have to learn them all over again. Aren't the two empresses deliberately bullying the Luo clan? As we all know, I have been weak since I was a child and cannot work hard. Naturally, I cannot be a woman.
Virtue Nudeng, as for upbringing, your Majesty can ask someone to check out the upbringing of my Luo family in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, or check the upbringing in the Zhenxihou Mansion. After all, my mother comes from the Zhenxihou Mansion.
"
She had never been so aggrieved in her last life. She had been aggrieved for a long time because of the persona of a sickly beauty, but she didn't expect to be bullied again and again.
If it weren't for the deep-rooted belief in the royal family as the head of the family and their loyalty to the royal family, they would have the most power. Are they afraid of an emperor who has no real power in his hands?
