"Yes, I am willing to serve the Emperor and the Queen as slaves and maids."
…
All the ladies expressed their willingness to stay by Xuanyuan Qingtian's side and serve him without status, and some expressed their willingness to stay by Duanmu Minya's side and serve her.
Duanmu Minya didn't say anything but just sat quietly, listening silently to them solemnly stating their positions and expressing their loyalty. She didn't want to get involved in this because she hadn't recovered from the surprise yet.
She never expected that Xuanyuan Qingtian would make such a decision.
As the king of a country, he personally and solemnly stated that he only had one empress and one queen in his harem, and no other concubines. How could she not be shocked by this?
If these words were said in the court, it would definitely shock the government and the public, and it would definitely lead to a series of rebuttals. The first one who would bear the brunt would definitely be her. Those civil and military officials would definitely label her as someone who cannot be a mother to the world, and who has no tolerance.
For the crime, he might even suggest that she, the queen, should be punished.
But now Xuanyuan Qingtian caught them off guard, and they couldn't intervene. He dismissed the ladies in the house first, killed them first, and made a big deal.
The officials dare not object even if they want to. Do they want the emperor to be a person who breaks his word?
This is a treasonous crime! I forgive them for not daring to do it.
Seeing that Duanmu Minya remained silent, Mrs. Pearl, Mrs. Jiahui and Mrs. Qin Qing all walked up to Duanmu Minya with a wink, and knelt down in unison. Mrs. Qin Qing was even more aggressive.
, when he saw that Duanmu Minya was too embarrassed to refuse them, he even threw himself on Duanmu Minya, shook and pushed her, and cried and begged Duanmu Minya.
The movements of the few of them who were so desperate just happened to hit the wound on Duanmu Minya's body. Duanmu Minya broke out in cold sweat from the pain. Under their hard push, Duanmu Minya's wound opened again, and bright red blood flowed out.
It soaked out again and dyed the skirt red again.
Duanmu Minya's painful look made Xuanyuan Qingtian's heart tighten. He stood up angrily and shouted at them.
"Let me say it again, I will never want any woman again. I didn't fall in love with any one before, so I treated you all equally, but now I have Minya in my heart, and she is the only one. I can no longer tolerate another one, so I
Only then would you make such a decision, you
If you don't want to leave on your own, I will issue an order. In that case, you will not get any money and will become a burden to your family. Now that you have hurt the Queen, if I issue an order that you are disrespectful to the Queen, you will
Tell me what will happen to you?"
Xuanyuan Qingtian's cold words made the noisy ladies suddenly become silent, and their faces became even pale. With such a charge, they became poisonous women. In the future, whether they remarry or return to their natal family, they will be
They would not receive good care. They could not bear such a crime, so they all trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare your life. I have committed a crime. I don't want to remarry. I just want a place to live and retire."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will allow you to follow your Majesty's arrangements without objection."
…
"Come here, take them down, Butler Lin, please make arrangements for them."
"Yes, I obey." Butler Lin immediately walked out quickly and led a group of ladies with sad faces out. Some of the ladies looked back at Xuanyuan Qingtian step by step, hoping to arouse Xuanyuan Qingtian's pity.
But Xuanyuan Qingtian was completely attracted by Duanmu Minya's injury. There was no time to see them. They followed Butler Lin away in disappointment.
And such a dedicated Xuanyuan Qingtian suddenly became the topic of the people. This was the first time they met such a dedicated emperor. Suddenly, the impression of the dedicated Xuanyuan Qingtian in everyone's hearts increased by leaps and bounds, which unified the people's hearts.
They are all thinking about being so dedicated
The emperor will definitely be more attentive to their country. At least he will not let the cumbersome things in the harem, including women, interfere. In this way, he will be more focused on politics. It will only benefit them and not harm them. How could they not
Support it.
And Xuanyuan Qingtian suddenly won the hearts and support of the people just by relying on this incident. When the emperor heard about this incident, he couldn't help but smile with relief. He knew that he would not misjudge the wrong person or choose the wrong person.
After the Queen Mother heard about this, she became even more convinced that she would win the world. But it was too late. Now she could only place her hope in Duanmu Minyao's belly. If she gave birth to a boy,
She can still inherit the position of prince, but if she is a girl, it will really be over.
Ten days later, Xuanyuan Qingtian held a grand enthronement ceremony. He personally led Duanmu Minya, who was wearing the Queen's dress, into the main hall to accept the worship of all civil and military officials. This kind of thing also set a precedent. There has never been such an emperor.
During the enthronement ceremony, he held the Queen's hand and accepted the worship together.
Normally, after the emperor has accepted the homage, the empress will be allowed to do so. Xuanyuan Qingtian once again made his devotion to Duanmu Minya clear and clear. He did this just for the sake of the future.
He wanted to live a quiet life, and he didn't want them to say anything about letting him choose concubines to fill his harem in the future. In this way, he also made the civil and military officials know his determination. From then on, those civil and military officials really no longer proposed the matter of choosing concubines.
For the sake of the child in her belly, Duanmu Minyao cheered up from the sadness of the death of the prince. A few months later, she gave birth to a boy who succeeded him as Prince Gong. Duanmu Minyao also became sensible in order to raise the child and was promoted to the title of Prince Gong.
The Queen Mother's Empress and Duanmu Minyao concentrated on raising the child.
Xuanyuan Qianmo, on the other hand, retired to the mountains and lived a life of paradise. He was accompanied by a girl who cared for him wholeheartedly. Xuanyuan Qingtian and Duanmu Minya secretly visited him once. Seeing how happy he was in life, they felt relieved.
Come.
As for the other princes who were granted the title of prince and moved out of the palace to build new mansions, they were all loyal to Xuanyuan Qingtian and admired his diligence and love for the people. They were also prepared to learn from Xuanyuan Qingtian and only marry one person in their lives.
Make the woman you like as your wife and live a happy life.
