The Queen Mother looked at him in surprise, not knowing for a moment how true or false he was.
The emperor said in a sincere voice: "My son, I know that Wudao is yours, and I have been here to give you advice and help you solve problems. However, women like her are rare in the world. I was already attracted to her when I first saw her. Queen Mother, There are not many women that my son really likes in his life. The imperial concubine is one, and she is the second. I don’t necessarily want her to suppress the prince, but I just want to take this opportunity to let her come to me."
The Empress Dowager didn't believe this. What is love? When you become an emperor, you shouldn't have too deep obsessions.
Therefore, she has always disliked the prince's affection for Leng Xiao, and always felt that it was for bad things.
The emperor smiled bitterly, "I know that my mother doesn't believe it, and maybe she doesn't understand it. I used to dote on the imperial concubine, and you said that the emperor has no love, and everything can only be balanced and stable. But my son is also a human being, with flesh and blood and feelings, so my mother will help me." , I promise you that I will not abolish the queen easily...even, I promise you, I will reject the military expenditures raised by the boss before discussing."
The Empress Dowager was unmoved, "You would never agree to the matter of military expenditures. You promoted King Jin just to confront the prince, or to force the prince to deal with King Jin. Let the prince suppress the military expenditures by himself, let him You lost your reputation in the army, but when you saw that the prince didn't care, you just retreated to accompany your daughter-in-law Hou Wen in the East Palace without fighting. But you also gave the King of Jin too many illusions. Now you can't get off the stage, and you are in a dilemma. Emperor, you This is playing with fire, Prince Jin is a tiger, you have raised his stomach, and once he is hungry, the consequences will be disastrous."
The emperor's thoughts were revealed and he was embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't believe the Queen Mother's last words. King Jin was ambitious, but his foundation was not deep enough to achieve greatness. Even if he harbored resentment, he couldn't do anything.
Despite all the talk, the queen mother disagreed, and he lost his patience, "Queen mother, just tell me how you can allow Ming Wudao to enter the harem."
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "If the Ai family doesn't agree, will you give up the idea?"
The emperor didn't even think about it, "No, I have made up my mind. I am the king of a country. If I can't do such a simple thing as favoring a woman, what is the use of being an emperor?"
"You became the emperor just to favor a random woman?" The Empress Dowager was really disappointed and didn't bother to say anything more. "In that case, you can just make your own decision. You don't need to ask for the consent of the Ai family. You are already completely confused. Eight horses. I can't turn back, but remember the same thing: Unless you have real evidence to prove that the prince wants to usurp and rebel, otherwise, don't mention anything about the prince threatening the imperial power, and don't make conspiracy theories about what the princess did, let alone The Queen cannot be deposed.”
The emperor agreed immediately, "Mother, I can do whatever you say."
The Queen Mother didn't believe what he said, especially since he analyzed so many things about Leng Xiao at the beginning. Those words almost made her doubt Leng Xiao.
However, in fact, those cannot withstand scrutiny. If she hadn't been staring at Leng Xiao until now, seeing everything big and small, she would really believe it.
The faster the emperor agreed, the more it proved that he didn't care. He just wanted to achieve his goal as soon as possible, and he even had the intention of not wanting to discuss it with her anymore.
He thought that after saying those words, she would agree. Once she showed her disapproval, he felt there was no need to talk nonsense.
After sending him away, the Queen Mother looked at his back and felt that this son was really separated from her.
Once, they were firmly on the same side, but now he goes his own way.
Everyone insists that they are right, but who is absolutely right?
