"Why did the emperor say this? You are in the prime of your life." Jixiang smiled and immediately offered words of comfort.
After hearing this, the old emperor shook his head and said calmly: "Even I can feel that my body is different from before. Why do you have to say such nice things to fool me?"
Ji Xiang could only stand there helplessly.
How come they are the ones who have the final say in life, old age, illness and death?
Seeing Ji Xiang's silence, the old emperor smiled and said lightly: "Why don't you speak?"
"I don't know what to say." Ji Xiang knelt on the ground and told the truth.
What the old emperor likes most now is that Jixiang can tell the truth to him.
He stood up, moved his body, and whispered: "I am planning to stand up as a queen."
"Does the Emperor have anyone in mind?"
"Prime Minister Yaonv, Fang Zhiling."
What?
Ji Xiang looked up at him in disbelief.
this……
For the sake of power, you actually gave up your old face?
That Fang Zhiling is only sixteen years old this year, he is old enough to be a grandfather!
"Your Majesty, think twice! In fact, many empresses in the harem have been with the Emperor for many years and are loyal to him." Ji Xiang hurriedly persuaded.
But the old emperor shook his head and said calmly: "Those concubines have become spirits, I want new ones."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the palace, and said with a smile: "After I become the queen, I can naturally take the opportunity to take back the political power. I am not dead yet, no matter how powerful he is, he must endure it!"
"Yes, your Majesty is wise and mighty." Ji Xiang followed behind and echoed.
Here, Li Lin quickly learned the news.
But it's not because of auspiciousness, it's because of Liu Qingran.
Liu Qingran rushed into his study in a panic and knelt on the ground: "My lord, help me!"
She has always been steady and steady, rarely like this.
Li Lin quickly put down the wolf hair in his hand, strode forward, and helped the person up: "Is your knee okay? If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is about to establish a queen!" Liu Qingran grabbed Li Lin's arm: "Your Majesty, help me!"
The emperor wants to establish a queen?
Li Lin frowned: "What does this have to do with you?"
"What he wants is the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, Fang Zhiling, who is my concubine's close friend. The two of us grew up together. The emperor is already over sixty years old, but Ling'er is only sixteen this year! Your Majesty, woo woo, Your Majesty
Save her!" Liu Qingran said and knelt down again!
Depend on!
Li Lin never thought that the old emperor was old-hearted and would torture the little girl when he was about to be buried?
"Don't worry, where did this news come from?"
"The Imperial Household has already gone to my house to ask for the measurements, saying that they want to customize the phoenix robe!"
Liu Qingran burst into tears.
She grabbed Li Lin's arm: "I have never asked for anything, but my lord, I am begging you now, please, please save her!"
This kind of thing...
Li Lin looked at Liu Qingran, took the handkerchief on the side, and gently wiped her tears: "Don't cry yet, he is still the emperor, and whoever wants to be the queen will be an honor. If you refuse this directly
, I’m afraid it’s a death penalty, but the Prime Minister’s Mansion will definitely not cut off his family’s livelihood for the sake of a daughter, so don’t cry yet.”
Liu Qingran slumped aside with her eyes red, and whispered: "Yes, I am really too naive. She is just a concubine. If she can really enter the palace and become the queen, everyone in the Prime Minister's House will be shocked."
They must all be grateful, who cares how old the emperor is, and who cares how old she is?"
"Shut up!" Li Lin shouted in a low voice and looked at her with a frown: "I know you are very confused now, but no matter when the time comes, you must know that you are my princess, and you must think twice before you speak!"
Liu Qingran realized later that he had made a mistake.
He hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground: "I did not mean to offend you. Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Have you asked Fang Zhiling what he thinks about this matter?"
"She won't do it!"
Liu Qingran knelt on the ground, tears falling down her cheeks.
Seeing her like this, Li Lin felt distressed again, so he could only step forward and help her up.
He sighed and whispered: "I can't refuse this kind of thing openly. Now, there is only one way to save people, but I'm afraid you will suffer some injustice."
"What? Your Majesty, please tell me!"
"Before my father's imperial decree, I took her!"
what? What!
Liu Qingran never expected that the final solution to this matter would be like this?
Although he was shocked, Liu Qingran also knew rationally that this was the best way.
It's just...it's just that they are still newlyweds!
If the palace recruits new people at this time, what will the outsiders think?
Besides, if they steal the queen in the emperor's heart, wouldn't the relationship between them and the emperor become even more intense?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingran hesitated: "Your Majesty, I need to think carefully."
"You go back and think about it." Li Lin laughed and looked at her: "No matter what you decide, I will listen to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Qingran said happily and turned around to go out.
She sat in the pavilion and looked at the landscape of the Regent's Palace.
Life in the Bachelor's Palace was boring, and Ling'er was her only friend. The two of them were in similar situations, so they were naturally close.
Growing up, they always made mistakes secretly, and were punished together every time. Any good things they got were always made in duplicate, one for each person.
But this time it's different.
This is her husband, and she does not want to share her husband with her.
But if you refuse, then...
Before she could figure anything out, the magpie came over: "Miss Fang is here."
"Please come in, I will meet her in my own yard."
"yes."
Fang Zhiling ran in crying: "Father agreed!"
"What?" Liu Qingran looked at her in disbelief. Seeing that her pear blossoms were covered with rain, tears also fell down. She even choked up and said, "No way, don't cry. Don't cry yet."
Fang Zhiling sat aside and said in a choked voice: "I am a concubine. Being able to be a queen will bring glory to the whole family. My father was not happy at first. Later, my grandmother called me over and scolded me, so I agreed. Now it has begun."
Prepare the things I need to enter the palace!"
"This! How could they do this to you?"
"Ranran, I don't want to live anymore."
Fang Zhiling's eyes were red.
"Brother Ning is still fighting outside and has no idea that I am getting married. When he comes back, I...I!" Fang Zhiling said, lying on Liu Qingran's body and crying.
Liu Qingran patted her back gently and said softly: "Don't cry yet. I begged the prince on my knees, and he promised that he could admit you into the palace and save you from entering the palace!"
