If an emperor admits his mistakes to other concubines, how virtuous and capable will he feel?
But Jiang Xinyue doesn't.
She withdrew her hand forcefully, put her hands on her hips, and pouted her little cherry mouth slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction: "Where did the emperor go wrong?"
Fortunately, this body is still that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, so when she performs such cute actions, she looks cute and natural, as if she was meant to be like this.
Otherwise, if someone more mature, such as Empress Zhu, comes, the emperor may be so frightened that he runs away.
Emperor Xuanwu took the trouble to hold her hand, but Jiang Xinyue shook him off and pulled her away again, and finally Jiang Xinyue was tired of shaking off her hand, so she let him go.
"If the emperor can't tell you where he went wrong, I'll still ask the emperor to fight me wherever I came from. I won't be able to enjoy the emperor's grace."
She was finally able to listen to herself speak properly, and Emperor Xuanwu held her hand even tighter: "Yue'er, since I was born, my mother has asked me to be an emperor. I am not allowed to cry or laugh since I was a child. If the palace If anyone dares to play with me, the next day the people waiting in the palace will be replaced. When I grow up, my mother will not allow me to have my favorite things. When I was a child, I raised a snake, but it disappeared due to the mother’s deliberate actions. . I can confidently say that I am a good emperor. But I... I cannot be a good husband."
The cautious and expectant light in his eyes made Jiang Xinyue feel that it was time to close the net and let this big fish lie in her pond.
But words of weakness could not come out of her mouth, so she still kept a straight face and said nothing, but she was still more conciliatory than her previous resisting attitude.
This gave Emperor Xuanwu great courage and confidence to continue: "Yue'er, I shouldn't weigh the pros and cons of everything and put you in danger. I shouldn't ignore your feelings, and shouldn't be half-hearted in order to balance the court. And let you be wronged. Moreover, I will not be able to dismiss the harem in the future. Because I am the emperor first and then your husband. It is my responsibility to keep the court stable and the people happy."
Afraid that Jiang Xinyue would be angry again, he immediately explained: "But I promise you that I will never let you be wronged for anyone in the harem in the future. I can't dismiss the harem, but I can pamper you alone. Maybe I still can't. I know how to be a good husband, but Yue'er can teach me, right?"
This confession is still very pertinent.
He didn't make extravagant promises about things that he couldn't do at all, nor did he say nice or disgusting words to coax himself. Instead, he took the lead in confessing things that might bother Jiang Xinyue in the future.
He couldn't dismiss the harem because he was the emperor and couldn't let the former dynasty be shaken. He couldn't do anything to prevent other concubines from being lucky in the future. Those women came to the palace with family missions. If they were not lucky, their families would be uneasy and they would not be willing to do their best for the emperor.
In fact, Jiang Xinyue understands these principles. It is normal for the emperor to not be able to do this. To do this, he must stop being the emperor.
But that is even more unrealistic fantasy.
So she felt very happy that Emperor Xuanwu was so honest.
It shows that in the past two months, he has also been thinking carefully about how to obtain her forgiveness? I also carefully analyzed what I had done wrong and should apologize to her.
But since ancient times, it is right for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties. Favoring only one person will make the harem unbalanced.
It was just because Emperor Xuanwu had been brainwashed by Jiang Xinyue that he could only love one person if he loved him. In his heart, his body and mind should only belong to one person, so he felt that his half-heartedness was wrong.
This is not the monogamy of later generations, this is a feudal dynasty where men can have three wives and four concubines, and her man is the man at the top of the pyramid of this dynasty.
This realization is all due to her tireless PUA and brainwashing.
There was already a hint of joy in Jiang Xinyue's eyes. In Emperor Xuanwu's expectant eyes, she casually uttered a few words: "Let's see how you perform!"
If she still returns to her old ways within a few days, she will have to make plans for herself and consider leaving her father and leaving her son.
It's just that the risk and difficulty of leaving a father to keep a son are too high. Even if it succeeds, the queen and the concubine will still have a prince, and her son will not be able to take the throne.
For the time being, it is better to rely on the emperor's protection, and wait for the opportunity when the Jiang family becomes more mature, or when her children are under the aura of the empress and concubine De, they develop first.
This is the best solution.
Until then, she and the child need the emperor's protection.
She did not stop Emperor Xuanwu from following her in. When Wang Dequan saw this scene, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. However, he could be considered a man who had seen strong winds and waves, so he quickly restrained himself and turned around to let Tang Shiliang do the math for him. How much did he earn from the ten gold coins he gambled?
Empress Zhenbi is a living Bodhisattva!
The wealth-dispersing fairy!
The palace attendants in Hexi Palace were very happy to see their master and the emperor reconciled as before, as if they had picked up money.
Although the Chinese New Year is still a month away, the festive atmosphere in Hexi Palace is not much different from the Chinese New Year.
Empress Zhu was very angry when she discovered the guards picking plum blossoms at first. Everyone in the palace knew that she was cooking wine, admiring the snow, and looking at plum blossoms in the Nuan Pavilion today. All the flowers were picked off. Wasn't this a slap in the face of her majestic queen?
As the pawn of Empress Zhu, the good concubine was not in a position to make her master angry and show his ugly face. Of course, she took the lead and rushed out of the Nuan Pavilion, and the others followed.
They also wanted to see who was so brave that he dared to go against the Queen and the concubines in the palace?
"presumptuous!"
The good concubine stepped into the plum forest and started to have a fit: "Where are you from? Don't you know that the Queen and the concubines in the harem are here to enjoy the flowers? You have picked all these plum blossoms. What flowers will the Queen enjoy?"
Plum blossoms and plum blossoms have really become "no flowers" now.
Several guards did not stop after hearing this, and even sped up a bit: "The Queen, please forgive me, the emperor ordered me to pick three large frames of plum blossoms within a quarter of an hour. I really can't delay, and I have missed the emperor's business. Your head is at risk!"
oh!
It's the emperor!
That's okay.
Empress Zhu waved away the good concubine and smiled kindly: "Did the emperor say where these plum blossoms were sent? Are these plum blossoms meant to be made into plum blossom wine? There are more than a dozen jars of plum blossom wine in this palace. If the emperor likes it, this is the place to go. Order someone to send it to Chengqian Palace."
The leading guard jumped down from the tree and clasped his fists at Empress Zhu: "Replying to the Queen, the plum blossoms are going to be sent to Hexi Palace. The Emperor is still waiting for the brothers. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he will leave first."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry with a few guards carrying big bamboo baskets.
