In fact, it is not that they want to gain power, but in their understanding, the emperors of the past dynasties will choose the boudoir ladies who are close to them as their concubines. This is the emperor's attitude towards his ministers. The favor of the emperor is also a means to bring the relationship between the monarch and his ministers closer.
If Xiao Lin had refused to choose a concubine from the beginning, they would have nothing to say, but he had chosen her before. If Emperor Xiao had not interfered, the marriage would have been done long ago.
This also caused Gao Yue and Qi Yao to regard themselves as his concubines for a long time. Although they failed to marry, they were always thinking about it in their hearts. Even after he was disfigured and his legs were broken, the daughters of the two families did not change their aspirations. The two families are even more loyal and stick together life and death.
They treated each other with sincerity and followed each other's orders. Now that the imperial power has been determined, it can be said that it is time to discuss merits and rewards. The daughters of the two families are full of expectations. They will enter the palace as concubines after he ascends the throne.
None of them had any objections to Su Li being the last. Everyone saw Su Li's help and contribution to Xiao Lin, and they were convinced. She had the greatest contribution, and it was only natural that she should be the last, although her status was a bit inappropriate. , but as long as Xiao Lin is willing, they have nothing to say.
But they never expected that Xiao Lin would refuse to accept the concubine for her sake!
His move not only blocked the way for the ladies of the two families to enter the palace, but also made the two families feel a little panicked.
Of course, it's a fight, but it's just a little unpleasant, and it doesn't affect their loyalty to Xiao Lin.
After all, except for this point, the prince had no fault with them, handled every aspect extremely well, and gave them enough respect and trust.
A good master is hard to find, and the Qi family, like the Gao family, figured it out quickly.
In fact, it is a good thing not to enter the palace. With the strength of the two families, it is easy to find a young and promising husband for their daughter. There are many young talents in the capital for them to choose.
Marrying a child of such an aristocratic family, they will naturally become the main wife and the mistress of the house. In fact, they will be freer and happier than marrying Xiao Lin.
After all, the concubine only sounds nice, but in the final analysis, she is just the emperor's concubine.
How can being a concubine be better than being a married woman?
Qi Zuo and Qi You explained this in detail to their sister Qi Yao.
Qi Yao comes from a family of military generals. Although she is a woman, she has an open-minded and unrestrained temperament and never takes trivial matters to heart.
The two of them thought that these words would quickly help her get out of her depression and sadness. Who would have thought that Qi Yao, who had always been open-minded, suddenly got into trouble and interrupted with a scream before the two of them could finish their words. What they said.
"Do you think that when I married His Highness the Crown Prince, I wanted to share wealth and honor with him? No!" Her eyes filled with tears and her whole body trembled. "What I have always admired in my heart has always been him as a person, not his identity! He Whether he is a prince or a trafficker, in my eyes, they are all the same! I don't care whether I marry him as a wife or a concubine! As long as I can stay with him, what if I am his maid? "ap.
When she said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, she grabbed Qi Zuo's hand and said hurriedly: "Brother, His Highness is going to ascend the throne soon, and he must be able to recruit the maids walking in front of the palace. Send me to the palace." How are you, maid?"
"Nonsense!" Qi Zuo waved his hand, "You are the daughter of a noble prince, how can you be a palace maid?"
"I do!" Qi Yao begged, "As long as I can see His Highness every day, I can do anything!"
"Third sister, are you crazy?" Qi You said with a sad face, "Didn't your elder brother and I tell you clearly enough just now? In the heart of His Highness, Su Li is the only one. He has summoned all the ministers. Su Li is alone, why do you need to interfere again? Why do you need to add trouble to others when they are deeply affectionate? "
"Why am I causing trouble?" Qi Yao shouted angrily, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously booked me and Sister Yue first! It was obviously Su Li, a latecomer, who got in the way. It was she who caused trouble for us! She was the one who broke it. Our good deed!"
"Hey, Auntie, don't say this nonsense!" Qi Zuo waved his hands repeatedly, "His Royal Highness is very attached to Su Li now. If word gets out, won't he be disgusted?"
"Your Highness does not
Will hate me! Qi Yao said firmly, "He likes me in his heart! I can feel it! He has always been cold-tempered. When selecting the crown prince, he was cold-blooded towards Zhang Xueyun, but he was only kind to me and sister Yue! He also smiled at me Now! The decision he made now is definitely not what he wanted! Maybe, he was blackmailed by Su Li..."
"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!" Qi You cut her off decisively, "We follow His Highness every day, and no one knows what is going on between him and Su Li better than us!"
"Yes!" Qi Zuo nodded vigorously, "He has a soft spot for Su Li and his love is deep. Su Li also treats him with deep affection. The bond between the two of them through life and death is deeper than the rest of us!"
"It can be said that without Su Li, His Highness would not be alive now. If His Highness died, how could we live?" Qi You hit the nail on the head, "In this way, even our lives were saved by Su Li! Three Sister, I know you feel uncomfortable in your heart and are quite jealous of Su Li, but if you dare to slander or hurt her, your Highness will not need to take action when the time comes. Your elder brother and I will not let you go! You, Stop thinking wildly and let your thoughts go!"
"Haha..." Qi Yao smiled miserably, "It turns out that in your hearts, this girl like me is worse than a stranger!"
"You are talking like a child again!" Qi Zuo sighed, "In our hearts, even ten thousand Su Lis are not as good as you! The same is true for His Highness towards Su Li! Ten thousand you are not as good as No more than Su Li! Everyone has their own favorite people, there is no right or wrong in this! Don’t try to get into trouble anymore!"
"He originally planned to accept Gao Yue as the crown prince! If you go by your words, he should like your sister Yue more than you! But what is the reality?" Qi You persuaded her earnestly, "Actually, today The two of us were in the court. In order to silence the Prime Minister, His Highness wanted to marry the old princess to him. The Prime Minister was forced to not dare to say another word! What kind of determination is this? Your sister Yue has already died down, what else are you guilty of? stubborn?"
"I understand..." Qi Yao lowered her eyelids, tears welling up in her eyelashes, "You don't have to talk anymore, I want to be alone for a while!"
Seeing that she was no longer stubborn about this, Qi Zuo and Qi You breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly: "Then you should have a good rest!"
Qi Yao watched her two brothers leave. As soon as they disappeared from the courtyard, she stood up and said, "Sinuo, prepare the car!"
