"Auntie, the child still has some things to deal with. You should go back and rest early. Don't be tired."
After talking about Fengyue Si, Zhu Cixiang took Chen Yuanyuan out of the imperial study, and then called Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun to the palace together.
When the three girls saw the little emperor taking them directly to the palace, they burst into tears of excitement.
"Your Majesty, I thought your Majesty had forgotten about me a long time ago..."
Compared to Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun, Chen Yuanyuan was much more courageous. In addition, Zhu Cixiang had promised her back then, so she threw herself into Zhu Cixiang's arms and started sobbing.
Seeing this scene, Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun immediately opened their mouths and widened their eyes. They were obviously frightened by Chen Yuanyuan's bold move.
I couldn't help but sweat for her. Even if Sister Yuanyuan had an affair with His Majesty, she couldn't be so presumptuous, right?
Although the two girls also wanted to imitate her and jump on him, hugging the little emperor and revealing their feelings, they were still cautious and reserved, and did not dare to be so presumptuous. After all, the person in front of them was not a talented man, but an emperor.
The eternal Mingjun of any emperor in ancient and modern times.
"Okay, stop crying. How could I forget you?"
Zhu Cixi patted her back, then hugged her and sat on the dragon couch.
"I know what you are worried about. Come, take a look at this." He took out an imperial edict from the side and handed it to her hand.
Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan saw that the little emperor not only did not blame Sister Yuanyuan, but instead hugged her and comforted her softly, they were envious and looking forward to it, but they stood there like a wooden stake, at a loss.
"Ah! Your Majesty, this is..."
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the imperial edict in her hand and was immediately shocked and stopped crying.
Seeing His Majesty smiling and nodding, he opened the imperial edict and started reading it. After reading it, he burst into tears of joy, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
She did not expect that His Majesty not only did not forget his original promise, but also prepared the imperial edict long ago.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, my concubine actually only wants to..."
"Okay Yuanyuan, this is what you deserve, and it's what I promised you back then."
Naturally, this imperial edict was to confer Chen Yuanyuan as a concubine, and it had been drafted before the new regulations were introduced last year, and was dated in September last year, so it did not conflict with the new regulations.
After Zhu Cixiang finished speaking, he took out two copies of the imperial edict and threw them to Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun who were standing aside.
"Then, this is yours."
"ah!"
The two women were stunned immediately. It took them a long time to react. They opened the imperial edict and read it. They saw that the content on it was to designate them as concubines. Both of them were stunned by this sudden surprise. With a plop,
They all knelt down.
"Why, you don't want to? Are you two working desperately for me? Isn't it for this?"
Seeing the two of them kneeling on the ground, Zhu Cixiang was trembling and speechless for a long time. He immediately frowned, thinking that he had misunderstood what they meant.
"Of course, if you are unwilling, I will naturally not force others to do anything. I will burn these two imperial edicts and treat them as if nothing happened."
When he drafted the imperial edict for Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, Zhu Cihong considered that Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun might also have that intention, so he also prepared an imperial edict for each of them, so he really didn't care about their attitudes.
Just take precautions.
If the two women behave well and have ideas about him as the emperor, then each of them will be given a copy of the imperial edict. If they have no ideas, then the edict will be burned.
"No, no, just, just..."
When the two heard that His Majesty was going to burn the imperial edict, they were so frightened that they hugged the edict and wanted to explain their ten thousand wishes. However, they didn't expect it to be so sudden and direct, but they were so nervous and excited that they couldn't say anything for a long time.
clear.
"You two sisters, please thank me quickly!"
Seeing that the two girls were sweating profusely, Chen Yuanyuan quickly reminded them, got up, knelt down in front of Zhu Cixiang and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Only then did the two women react, knowing that anything they said now was unnecessary, so they quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness, and kowtowed with a loud bang.
"Okay, stop knocking."
Seeing the two women kowtowing like fools, Zhu Cihong immediately stepped forward and pulled them up. Seeing that their foreheads were red and swollen from the knocks, Zhu Cixi couldn't help laughing.
"His Majesty…"
This was the first time for the two girls to be so close to the emperor. When he grabbed their hands, their bodies trembled nervously and they opened their mouths not knowing what to say.
"Okay, since you are willing to be my woman, from now on just like Yuanyuan, relax and don't be nervous, I won't eat you."
Zhu Cihong took the two girls one by one and came to sit down in front of the dragon couch, smiling.
"If I can serve His Majesty, it would be worth it for me, my concubine, and Sister Xiangjun to die immediately."
"Um!"
The two women sat next to Zhu Cixiang, one on the left and the other on the right, and said emotionally.
It is true that they have always had a strong desire for the emperor, but they also know that with their humble status, it is almost impossible. The most they can do is hope that the emperor will be interested and let them serve him once.
But who would have thought that His Majesty would directly give them the title of concubine before letting them serve. It was so beyond their expectation that the two women seemed to be still in a dream.
React completely.
Chen Yuanyuan was surprised when the little emperor directly took out two imperial edicts and threw them at the two women. Although she was a little surprised, she also felt that this was very similar to the little emperor's usual style. No matter what he did, he was direct and straightforward, never sloppy or beating around the bush.
"Okay, don't say these unlucky words, Yuanyuan, give me a dance first to cheer me up."
Zhu Cixiang hugged the two girls, and then said to Chen Yuanyuan.
"It's your Majesty, but I'm wearing this concubine's clothes..."
Chen Yuanyuan replied quickly, and then looked at the female official uniform she was wearing.
The three girls entered the palace today wearing female official uniforms.
"Take it off." Zhu Cixi waved his hand.
"But, Your Majesty, I didn't bring my concubine's pipa either."
Chen Yuanyuan immediately turned red with embarrassment, glanced at Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, and said weakly.
The two women suppressed their laughter, and their faces also turned red.
"Yeah, that's right. Let's play the pipa next time and just dance this time."
"I obey my orders."
Chen Yuanyuan didn't say anything about going back to change clothes and pick up the pipa. She was afraid of spoiling the little emperor's interest, so she started to take off her clothes without hesitation.
In this way, Zhu Cihong and the three girls stayed in the palace singing and dancing from the afternoon until the next day.
After Zhang Yan heard about it, she didn't say anything, but when she heard that when the three women came out the next day, each of them had an imperial edict in their hands, she couldn't sit still anymore.
