Concubine Zhuang became anxious after hearing this and pulled Emperor Zhao aside to avoid the eyes of others.
He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't think my concubine thinks that she is of low status or good-looking. The only thing is that she was married before, and the person she married was the eldest son of the concubine of the Pei family!"
After hearing this, Emperor Zhao finally remembered, "Is this Yan Mingzhu, the one who made a fuss in the entire imperial capital a few days ago because of the reconciliation? I remember that when she was reconciling with the eldest son of the Pei family, she still broke up.
Killed his lifeblood?"
Concubine Zhuang nodded with a sad look on her face, "Your Majesty, I have a child like Jue'er. I hope that he can get the best in everything. Husband and wife are one, especially for someone with his status. His wife is very important to him."
,
The concubine does not have to be a noble girl who can match Jue'er's status, but whether she is a side concubine or a main concubine, if Jue'er really wants her, and then there are rumors outside that Jue'er picked up the tattered shoes that the Pei family did not want, then
Wouldn’t Jue’er’s reputation be ruined?”
"What my beloved concubine said is very reasonable. You should marry a virtuous wife. This Yan Mingzhu can be so cruel to the husband she has been with day and night. Such a woman is definitely not a good person and is not suitable to be placed beside Xiaojiu.
"
Hearing Emperor Zhao say this, Concubine Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
After making an agreement with Emperor Zhao, Concubine Zhuang came back and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. Today you have done me a big favor, and I will give you a reward."
Pearl head and face, this was originally gifted to me by His Majesty, it is the only one in the world."
"Thank you very much for the reward, your Majesty. It's just a small effort. Your Highness was kind to me before, and I just repaid the kindness. I don't deserve the reward. I am a humble woman and don't dare to disturb your Majesty's pleasure any more."
Your Majesty, please retire."
Of course, Concubine Zhuang didn't know that Yan Mingzhu, as a martial arts practitioner, had extremely sensitive ears and heard everything she and Emperor Zhao secretly said.
Although they are talking about this body, since she has taken possession of this body, it is equivalent to talking about her.
She was grateful to Qi Jue for helping him several times before, so she agreed to enter the palace to help him today.
But this does not mean that his mother-in-law can use this reason to humiliate her with broken shoes. Although she did not say it openly, this is what Zhuang Concubine meant.
She had nothing to say in front of these people who thought they were superior to others.
Seeing Yan Mingzhu's reaction, Qi Jue knew that she had just heard the whispers between Concubine Zhuang and Emperor Zhao.
Seeing that Yan Mingzhu was about to leave, he chased after her without hesitation.
Concubine Zhuang immediately stopped him: "Jue'er, what are you doing? There are many noble ladies coming to the flower viewing banquet today, you can't be absent!"
"If the mother-in-law is truly grateful to a person, she should know that in this world, only those who treat each other sincerely are the most rare and valuable ones, not the so-called reputational status."
Leaving these words coldly, Qi Jue turned around and left without stopping.
Concubine Zhuang was angry at his words, "You..."
The man had long legs and quickly caught up with Yan Mingzhu who left first.
"Yan Mingzhu."
Yan Mingzhu ignored him and just walked forward.
Qi Jue could only catch up and block her way, "Mother and concubine, she has no other intentions, and I have never thought of it that way..."
"I don't care what your Highness and Concubine Zhuang mean. Indeed, I have been married before, but this marriage is not what I wanted. Since I have reconciled with Pei Zhuoran, I am innocent.
body,
Which Dazhao law stipulates that a woman who has divorced will be inferior to others? Furthermore, a woman who has been married is considered a broken shoe. How can you, a man, be so clean if you sleep with three wives and four concubines?
When we are born as human beings, no one is more valuable than anyone else. We all have one head and one pair of hands. We do not have three heads or six arms, and we have no qualifications to discriminate and humiliate others. I will say this and hope that His Highness the King of the North will take care of himself. From now on, on both sides of our road, we will be different.
Relevant.”
With a single word of affirmation to His Royal Highness the North King, all the interactions we had spent these days were completely washed away!
Qi Jue grabbed her arm directly, "Yan Mingzhu..."
"Let go, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Yan Mingzhu was just about to use force to throw Qi Jue away, but the man took a step ahead of her and held her shoulders. Their eyes met. The man's eyes were serious and sincere.
"My king...it's my fault. Don't be angry. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
The words of apology made Yan Mingzhu stop, while Feiyun and Feiyu, who were following far behind, were so shocked by Qi Jue's words that their jaws almost dropped to the ground!
Your Highness actually apologized humbly to others! Moreover, he lowered his status by calling himself me!
Oh my God, this is the first time in history that this apology is absolutely sincere!
"I have never thought that you are inferior to others. It is natural for a man to marry a woman. It is also reasonable for a relationship to break up and go their separate ways. In my eyes, you are smart, independent, confident, and courageous. You are the most unique existence."
The man's voice was clear and serious, just like his deep eyes, and every word he spoke hit Yan Mingzhu's heart.
This is the highest praise she has heard as Yan Mingzhu after her rebirth.
Seeing that Yan Mingzhu's eyes were no longer so resistant, Qi Jue lowered his tone: "To me, you are the best. No one can control my thoughts, even the person closest to me.
I'm sorry for what happened today, and I promise I won't do it again in the future."
Yan Mingzhu stared blankly at the person in front of her. After a while, she finally smiled and said, "You are really... not very popular. It would be better if you were not the son of Emperor Zhao..."
Emperor Zhao was full of scheming and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. He was a very insidious villain.
But such a sinful villain has given birth to a son like Qi Jue who knows right from wrong. God is really taking it easy on him!
Yan Mingzhu said the last sentence so softly that Qi Jue didn't hear it clearly for a moment, "What?"
"I mean, His Highness has apologized so humbly. If I am still angry, it would be too much. Besides, this is not your fault. I am not the kind of woman who loses her temper and is unreasonable.
.”
Seeing that Yan Mingzhu was no longer angry, Qi Jue breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time in his life, the aloof Prince Dingbei realized that after a woman was angry, trying to coax her back was more laborious than marching.
Fighting is exhausting mentally and physically!
"I will send you back."
Yan Mingzhu shook her head, "No need, it's not like I don't know the way. Today is your highness's big day to choose your concubine, so don't delay here. Go back as soon as possible."
Qi Jue frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Zhuang Ke's voice came from behind: "My eldest nephew, Miss Yan San!"
