Chapter Fifty-Eighth: The Emperor's Wish to Changsun Concubine
Watching her little brother being beaten, Jinyang was indifferent, because before her little brother came here, she had already been taught a lesson by her mother. She was just so old, she didn't have anyone she liked, and she objected to her parents choosing a husband for her.
All in all, a bit rebellious.
After Li Chengzhao was taught a lesson by the Queen, he was driven back to the mansion to reflect on himself. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chengxuan followed suit. He knew that if he stayed, he would definitely be taught a lesson by his mother.
"What on earth are you thinking?" Queen Yang looked at her daughter, "You are not young anymore. If you don't pay attention, you are really going to be a big girl."
She was really worried about these two children. The son was smart, but he was too naughty, but fortunately the emperor was not angry. The daughter was too smart, and her vision was outrageous, which made her very helpless.
Moreover, her husband always doted on this daughter, which made her very helpless.
Jin Yang said: "My daughter will obey her mother in everything and will not embarrass her mother."
"You don't want to embarrass me?" Empress Yang sneered for a moment and said, "Okay, if you really don't want to embarrass me, I will ask your father to arrange a banquet for you.
You choose your husband."
Hearing this, Jinyang burst into tears at the drop of a hat. He sobbed and said, "This is my mother's arrangement. My daughter will never regret it."
Queen Yang: "..."
Are you saying you won't embarrass me?
Crying in front of me won't work, but if you cry in front of your father, who can force you to get married?
"That's it." She sighed deeply and let her go for now.
Jin Yang lowered his head and smiled proudly.
It's not that she doesn't want to get married, and her vision is not as high as others think, she just wants to find someone with whom she can talk. Of course, she is more confused. She doesn't know why time passes so fast, and she still
Not ready to leave my father, queen and mother.
She didn't say anything to anyone because it was too pretentious.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
"You really have it?" Li Zhiyun looked at Changsun in surprise.
Mrs. Changsun stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, her face full of maternal love and grace.
"More than three months." She replied in a low voice. In fact, when she got pregnant, she was also surprised because she had taken precautions when she was with the emperor in the past, but she didn't expect to be pregnant anyway.
Li Zhiyun couldn't help being happy and hurriedly walked over and hugged her.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He complained and scratched her nose, showing great affection.
Mrs. Changsun covered her mouth and chuckled, and whispered: "I just learned about it not long ago. How could I tell His Majesty earlier?"
"What did you call me?" Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, slightly dissatisfied.
Changsun's cheeks turned red and said, "Husband."
"Yes." Li Zhiyun nodded, held her in his arms, and said softly: "Since you have a child, I must take you into the palace. Whether it is for you or the child, you are not allowed to refuse.
.”
The emperor was very domineering and did not give Changsun a chance to refuse.
This time, Changsun did not refuse, but said, "I will obey your Majesty's arrangements in everything."
"Very good, very good." Li Zhiyun thought: "I have to think of a way."
Changsun is already in her thirties. She is pregnant at this age. A proper older woman must be strictly protected. Li Zhiyun is not at ease if she continues to be kept in Prince Qin's palace to raise her fetus. What's more, when the child is born in the future, he needs to be given an identity.
.If Changsun is not brought into the palace and is allowed to give birth outside, her life will not be easy if the news leaks out.
Why?
Because everyone knows that Princess Qin is the emperor's woman, and the child she is carrying must be the emperor's. But because of her status, she cannot enter the palace, so she will be very embarrassed and have to be gossiped about.
As for the emperor, he is thick-skinned and doesn't care about the rumors outside. Besides, who dares to seek death for openly talking about the emperor?
Therefore, the Changsun family must be brought into the palace.
In fact, Li Zhiyun could also use Changsun's pregnancy as an excuse to force Princess Qin to marry him. This is also okay, and the minister wants to
There is no way to stop it.
But if this happens, Wei Zheng will inevitably become a monster, and there will be no peace.
"My beloved, do you have any sisters?" Li Zhiyun suddenly asked with a smile.
Changsun was startled.
Within a few days, the opportunity came. There was an impeachment by the censor and a case of corruption and perversion of the law by the state governor. The emperor was furious and immediately appointed Wei Zheng as the inspector and three censors to go to Hezhou to investigate.
A few days after Wei Zheng left, the emperor suddenly accepted a daughter, the eldest Sun, as a talented person, and was promoted to Concubine Chen within just half a month. Her position was only below the queen, and tied with the four concubines. In addition, the emperor also decreed that Li Li could be canonized.
The beauty is Princess Yueyang, and she is taken to live in the palace.
This series of actions was so fast that it was dizzying to watch. Before the ministers could figure out the identity of this "Concubine Chen", Concubine Chen had already entered the palace and moved into the Zhilan Palace.
Only a few people had some guesses in their minds, but they didn't dare to confirm it, and they didn't dare to say it at all. In other words, they were actually relieved. If this "Concubine Chen" is really who they thought she was, in fact,
If the emperor does this, they can actually accept it. As long as the emperor does not make this matter public, everyone will be happy to pretend to be ignorant.
As for opposition?
Don't be ridiculous, who dares to oppose the emperor now. Especially, this kind of thing is not really a big deal, and the ministers really can't offend the emperor because of this.
Some people even thought that the saint asked Wei Zheng to leave Chang'an, probably to prepare for the canonization of Concubine Chen.
A few days later, Concubine Chen's identity was exposed, and she was rumored to be a clan sister of Princess Qin.
The ministers all congratulated the emperor.
When Wei Zheng came back from investigating the affairs of Hezhou, he found out that the emperor had consecrated another Concubine Chen. Naturally, it was inappropriate for Shang Shu to do so, but he left it alone. Wei Zheng also thought that the identity of Concubine Chen was probably that one.
But this time he did not dare to point his finger at the emperor and scold him. Because Du Ruhui had warned him that Concubine Chen was pregnant. If he was still ignorant this time and insisted on objecting to the matter, the emperor would never let him go.
Wei Zheng is really tired. A few years ago, he objected, but it was useless. Now he has figured it out. As long as the emperor does not make this matter public, he will simply pretend to be ignorant. There is no use in persuading the emperor on this matter.
There was obviously no room for negotiation. If he continued to disobey the emperor, Wei Zheng could imagine that he would be kicked out by the emperor.
Sometimes, Wei Zheng was also angry and distressed. A saint can obviously be a sage for all generations to be admired, so why must he be so indulgent in his personal ethics?
He really can't understand!
Simply, don’t think about it anymore.
As for Princess Qin, because she had been living in the palace in the past, no one felt anything wrong if she did not appear for a short period of time. Later, they heard that Princess Qin had returned to her hometown to recuperate, and Prince Qin's palace became empty.
Everything was very reasonable and went smoothly.
The smart ministers had more or less guesses in their hearts, but they only smiled bitterly in private and did not dare to say it openly. As for the people, they only knew that the emperor had conferred another concubine, and they did not know that this time
The true identity of the concubine.
Ever since, Li Zhiyun finally got his wish.
In the past few years, the emperor had several more sons, including Li Chenghuan, the emperor's fourteenth son, born by Lu Cairen, Li Chenghuan, the emperor's fifteenth son, born by Yuan Xiuyuan, and Li Chengmo, the sixteenth son of the emperor, born by Zheng Cairen.
Although some children in the palace have died in infancy in recent years, generally speaking, they are not many. The number of Li Zhiyun's sons has also increased a lot.
