Chapter 204 What if women could serve as officials in the court?
Understanding is one thing, but agreeing to let your woman marry someone else is another.
Since the emperor didn't say anything, the queen certainly wouldn't say anything on her own initiative.
The two sat opposite each other. Not long after, the emperor stood up and said, "I will come again in the evening."
Before the queen could say anything, the emperor had already strode out.
After the emperor left, the maidservant came forward and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, will the emperor be angry that he came and left in such a hurry?"
"No." The Queen smiled and shook her head. "Although the Emperor looks calm now, he is actually very angry. It's good that he left, so that he won't take his anger out on me."
"Your Majesty, you're joking. The Emperor is so good to you, how could he possibly take his anger out on you?" the nanny said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the queen smiled but said nothing.
The emperor is indeed good to her.
But when you are extremely angry, how can you care about so many things?
So it’s a good thing that he’s gone now.
I just don't know who he will look for after he leaves here.
I just hope that person can read the situation, be smarter, and avoid getting into trouble.
...
When the emperor came out of the queen's palace, he saw eunuch Wang and the warm sedan chair next to him.
Upon seeing the emperor, Eunuch Wang hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, the wind and snow are getting stronger. I have taken the initiative to order a warm sedan chair. I hope Your Majesty will not punish me."
"You little dog slave, you're really thoughtful."
The emperor cursed with a smile and got into the warm sedan chair.
Without the emperor's order, no one dared to act on their own and could only wait quietly.
After waiting for a long time, I heard the emperor's voice coming from the sedan chair, "Let's go to Rongfei Palace."
Eunuch Wang did not dare to hesitate and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty, may your journey begin!"
Only when the sedan chair was moving forward did Eunuch Wang dare to secretly daydream.
Concubine Rong and Lin Siqiong were good friends. Ever since Lin Siqiong got into trouble, the emperor seemed to have disliked Concubine Rong and never summoned her again.
Concubine Rong herself knew her situation and had been staying at home for the past few months.
To the extent that most people in the palace, including eunuch Wang, have forgotten about Concubine Rong.
It was also because of this that Eunuch Wang was so shocked when he heard that the emperor was going to see Concubine Rong.
But no matter how shocked he was in his heart, he didn't dare show it on his face.
At this time, Concubine Rong had already received the news and knew that the emperor was coming.
When she heard the news, Concubine Rong was in a trance.
Why did the emperor suddenly think of her?
If it were in the past, when she was favored, she would definitely be extremely happy if she knew the emperor was coming.
But now, the emperor suddenly thought of her, which only made her feel scared.
The emperor is coming here at this time, could it be that he is settling scores after the event?
Concubine Rong really wanted to ask the young eunuch, but the young eunuch knew nothing about anything and finally ran away.
Unable to find out, Concubine Rong could only begin to prepare anxiously.
In the imperial palace, favored concubines and unfavored concubines lived different lives.
She has been like an invisible person for the past few months, so naturally her life has not been easy.
The quota is either withheld or replaced with inferior goods.
The palace servants were not diligent in their service and the hall was completely covered in dust, making it impossible to look closely.
There were even spider webs in the corners that had not been cleaned up.
Charcoal needs to be burned in winter. When it was popular, red charcoal was burned. Now that it is no longer popular, the most common black charcoal is burned.
Not only is there a lot of smoke, but also a lot of dust.
Concubine Rong originally wanted to clean up the place, but when she looked around and saw the situation inside the palace clearly, she gave up the idea of cleaning up.
There is only a short time left, and I can’t clean up the mess properly, so let it be!
Concubine Rong had a little plan in mind.
The emperor suddenly came here at this time, most likely because he remembered her kindness.
If the emperor saw her current situation and felt sorry for her, perhaps she could regain his favor.
With this thought in mind, Concubine Rong just waited patiently for the emperor to arrive.
A quarter of an hour later, the emperor strode in.
As soon as he entered the hall, the emperor frowned.
"Why is it so cold in this hall?"
Eunuch Wang had known about the situation here for a long time, but the allowance was not under his jurisdiction, and he was not afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on him.
Eunuch Wang was about to step forward to explain, but the emperor had already sat down with his horse and sword.
Seeing that the emperor wanted to talk to Concubine Rong, Eunuch Wang hurriedly led his men out.
Concubine Rong stood aside with a nervous look on her face, not understanding what the emperor meant.
Just as I was wondering whether I should take the initiative to ask, I heard the emperor speak.
"Rong Fei, tell me, if widows in this world could remarry and women could initiate divorce, wouldn't that be great?
Concubine Rong raised her head and looked at the emperor in surprise.
What is the problem?
Why did the emperor ask this?
I haven't seen her for a few months and I don't care about how she is doing, but I actually asked her such a question?
Concubine Rong was in a complicated mood and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
The emperor's patience was already limited, and when he saw Concubine Rong just staring at him blankly without saying a word, he became even more displeased.
"Fei Rong, I'm talking to you."
Concubine Rong came back to her senses instantly and hurriedly thought seriously.
After thinking for a while, Concubine Rong spoke carefully, "I think... it's inappropriate."
As she spoke, she secretly looked at the emperor's expression, trying to see whether he was satisfied with the answer.
But the emperor never showed his emotions on his face.
Others can only see it when he wants them to see it.
At this time, he had a blank expression on his face, and Concubine Rong could not see anything.
The emperor simply glanced at Concubine Rong calmly and asked, "Why do you think it's inappropriate?"
"In this world, women should be faithful to their husbands. How can they take the initiative to divorce and marry someone else? Widows whose husbands have died should raise their children well. How can they only think about themselves..."
"What if there are no children?"
"Even if you don't have children, you should still remain faithful to your husband!"
Rong Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with her answer.
Since ancient times, this is what parents and teachers have taught us, and this is what people in the world think and do.
There's nothing wrong with her saying that, right?
Concubine Rong looked at the emperor hopefully, but saw that the emperor's expression was even uglier than before.
"As a fellow woman, you don't even think about other women!"
"You've been out of favor these past few months, and the palace servants have treated you harshly. You've had a very hard time."
"If something happens to me and I'm gone, your life without children will be even more miserable than it is now."
"You don't care at all. Since you think it through so clearly, just continue living like this!"
The emperor's series of words almost made Concubine Rong dumbfounded.
What does the emperor mean by this?
Could it be that the emperor thinks this is wrong?
But...it has always been like this!
"emperor......"
Just as Rong Fei was about to say something, the emperor stood up and walked out with big strides.
Concubine Rong wanted to stop him, but she didn't dare to take any substantial action. She could only watch the emperor's back gradually walking away, and she sat on the ground dejectedly.
Was she really wrong?
Does she really want to live alone?
If one day the emperor is gone, will she just be able to count the days and wait for death?
Concubine Rong was stunned.
——
The emperor left again in a warm sedan chair.
Eunuch Wang, who was walking beside the warm sedan chair, was wiping his sweat constantly.
He wasn't hot, he was scared.
What happened to the emperor?
Even if he dies, let him die knowingly!
After finally returning to the Imperial Study, the Emperor immediately ordered, "Go and invite General Wen and the Prime Minister."
"yes!"
Eunuch Wang agreed and went to invite him immediately.
It’s better to go and invite him in person.
Just invite two people!
By inviting him, my life is saved!
Half an hour later.
Marshal Wen and Prime Minister Wen arrived, and Minister Wen Li also followed.
Even the emperor had become accustomed to Wen Xiangli, the little tail of Prime Minister Wen. He glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.
At this time, Marshal Wen and Prime Minister Wen already knew what had happened.
The expressions of both people were also very complicated.
They also didn't expect that Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu's trip to Nanzhao would turn Nanzhao upside down.
Not only has the emperor been replaced, but now most of the officials in the court are on the opposite side.
You are really brave!
Wen Xiangli lowered his head slightly, his eyes looking at the ground.
When he was like this, no one could see his eyes clearly, and naturally no one could see the spirit in his eyes.
Youning!
It’s indeed different from others!
It’s a pity that Youning is a girl!
If Youning were a man...
etc!
Since Youning hopes that women can marry independently and widows can remarry, does Youning also hope that women can serve as officials in the court?
If Youning could become an official in the court, then...
In the imperial study, the three people who were still worried about what Yu Youning had caused had no idea that what was in the mind of Wen Xiangli, the most inconspicuous person in the imperial study, was even more shocking to the world.
If Prime Minister Wen knew what Wen Xiangli was thinking at this moment, I wonder if he would regret letting Wen Xiangli study with Yu Youning.
Not only has he learned the etiquette of Wen Xiang, but now it seems that he is showing signs of surpassing his teacher!
The emperor waited for a long time, but Marshal Wen didn't say anything, so he urged directly, "Old Marshal, Youning is your granddaughter. Tell me, if she comes back and does the same thing in Dayong, what should we do?"
Marshal Wen touched his nose and said, "The Emperor has also said that Youning is the granddaughter of this old minister. As a grandfather, I can only let her do whatever she wants... or help her!"
emperor,"???"
This old guy knew that no one would be angry with him, so he just let himself go, right?
How dare you say such a thing?
The emperor stared at Marshal Wen for a long time, then turned to Prime Minister Wen and said, "Lord Wen, speak!"
Prime Minister Wen looked embarrassed, but soon smiled, "Your Majesty, this is also a good thing!"
emperor,"???"
"Your Majesty, please listen to me..."
