According to Yuechen State regulations, officials are not allowed to have sex. Although there are many people who hang out in Goulan in private, colleagues understand each other tacitly, and the Yushitai turns a blind eye, but if it really comes to the stage, they will be severely punished. No loan, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the emperor.
It's just that in ancient times, women relied on men for their lives. Even if you don't divorce you, you can only stare at him if he wants to do anything. So no family members will report it, because if you do, your husband will dislike you. He couldn't wipe it off his face and became the laughing stock among the ladies in the capital. Shen Nanfeng must have understood that I would take care of the Cheng family's face, so he was so unscrupulous.
But he misjudged me after all. In order to cancel the wedding with him, I and Murong Qingfeng were mentally prepared for things like raw rice and cooked rice. The issue of face has never been a problem for me, just like Xiangfu said that if a woman becomes ruthless, she can even sacrifice her life, not to mention her body, not to mention it is just a matter of reputation.
I burst into tears, and the queen was so flustered by my crying that she helped me up and sat on the soft couch, wiped my tears with a handkerchief, and coaxed me: "Good boy, what's wrong? Speak slowly, I am the one who makes the decision for you, so stop crying, you will cry too hard."
I cried less loudly, sobbing and embellishing the story of Shen Nanfeng's bid for the fragrant float, and then cried out: "Previously, the emperor asked Jinyue to go to the imperial study and asked Jinyue if she had a man she liked. Jinyue said no, thinking that the emperor and the queen would help me choose a good husband, so I didn’t think much about the imperial edict granting marriage, so I accepted it calmly and stayed at home to prepare the dowry. But who would have thought that... Promised to such a man..."
"This General Shen Shen is too ignorant. He has not yet married the noble princess, but he has taken care of the matter of taking a concubine first, and the woman he takes is a woman of such a background!" The queen threw the concubine in her hand before she could finish hearing her words. Tea Bowl said angrily: "I saw that Shen Shangshu is a rigorous person and the Shen family's family style is quite clear, so I agreed to marry you to him."
I wiped my tears, pretended to be virtuous, and said against my will: "It is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and Jinyue is not that ignorant to stop her husband from taking concubines, but after all, I am the emperor's imperial concubine. Princess Jinyue, who has been granted marriage by the emperor's imperial edict, Ming Matchmaker is marrying the wife of the wife. He has stopped taking concubines for a long time, but he is so arrogant on the eve of the wedding. Obviously he does not take me as the princess seriously. , the Cheng family’s face has been completely lost, and the family members of the dignitaries may be laughing at me behind their backs, saying that I am not even as good as a humble servant, Jin Yue has no face to see anyone.”
When it comes to this, the clear meaning is that Shen Nanfeng doesn't take the emperor's marriage seriously at all. Now that the matter has come here, the official affair has been put on the table, and Yushitai will not be like this. After leaving it alone, things got a little bit out of control. The Queen summoned a palace maid and said: "Go and invite the Emperor to come over and say that I have important matters to discuss with you."
I was overjoyed. I am afraid that the Queen has been shaken a little. However, the Queen has no right to make decisions after all. This matter depends on the Emperor's will. However, the Emperor is too deep-minded and is always on guard against me. I am afraid that he will not be easily dismissed. , No matter what, it is certain that Shen Nanfeng is at fault in this matter, and I will naturally hold on to it.
The queen looked at me meaningfully and sighed: "Are you still thinking about Qing'er? Shen Shen said this matter is big or small. If you come to the palace to make a fuss, I'm afraid you want the emperor. Cancel this marriage?"
"The Queen is really thoughtful and thoughtful, and I can't hide anything from you." There is no one in the palace who is not a human being. I am not surprised that the queen will see through the little calculation in her heart. Why: "Your Majesty, I have not thought about food and tea these days. Mrs. Beijing Hou was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she ordered him to be placed under house arrest. I was also anxiously running around in the house. It happened that Shen Nanfeng himself gave me a good opportunity at this time. I must take advantage of it. .”
The Queen closed her eyes and sighed: "I have watched Qing'er grow up, and I don't want to fight against each other. If you had said it earlier, it would have been fulfilled, but you have to wait for the imperial edict granting marriage. Come and tell me after you get down, even if I want to help, there is nothing you can do."
I put my head on the queen's lap, rubbed it gently, and understood: "The queen also has the queen's helplessness. Jinyue understands, so she gave up thinking about it a few days ago, and now there is such an opportunity. Want to try it."
The queen patted my forehead and said: "Shen Shangshu is highly valued by the emperor, and other children of the Shen family also hold important positions. Even if Shen Nanfeng ignores this matter, in order to save the face of the Shen family, the emperor will at most give him a few harsh words. , with a little punishment, the marriage grant will probably not be cancelled."
I sneered and said, "Taking care of the Shen family's face? Could it be that the Cheng family's face can be trampled on by others? Even if I don't care, I'm afraid if word spreads to the Zhenbei army, the public will be excited. If something happens, Even I can't restrain it."
"It turns out that our Princess Jinyue is here to intimidate and induce you." A cold shout came from outside the door, followed by the sound of people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "Slave, I have just seen the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
I had a look of panic on my face, but I was feeling proud in my heart. Just so you can hear it and don’t have to repeat it again, I knelt down and saluted. Without waiting for His Majesty’s instructions, the Queen helped me up and looked at His Majesty. He scolded: "What Jinyue said is not unreasonable. General Shen Shen has indeed gone too far."
The emperor sat down on the throne, with an unreadable expression on his face and remained silent. I chuckled and said, "I thought the emperor had chosen a good husband for Jin Yue, but the result was really disappointing. Shen Shen sent Jin Yue to I dare not ask for it no matter what. If the emperor refuses to revoke the imperial edict, it would be better for Jinyue to cut her hair and become a nun than to let my Cheng family lose face and reputation."
"Don't talk nonsense." The queen glared at me and scolded: "You are talking about a daughter-in-law who is not a daughter-in-law. How can a daughter of yours, who is in her prime of life, go to accompany the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng? How can I be with your dead mother? Explain?!"
I said angrily: "What's wrong with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha? It's so that others don't do it wrong."
The emperor glanced at me and said funnyly: "Don't put on a show in front of me. If you really wanted to be a nun, you wouldn't come to the palace to ask me to revoke the marriage. Tell me, which young master did you fall in love with?" , tell me."
I hurriedly replied: "No, I just simply don't like Shen Nanfeng. I originally thought that he was in an important position at a young age and was born quite well, so I had no objection. I didn't expect that he turned out to be such a hypocrite."
