Chapter 75 How His Majesty Loves Su Juan



That night, the emperor went to the queen's bedroom to have dinner. From the time he sat down to the time he ate, he never closed his mouth and kept talking about what happened that day.

"When I granted her the marriage, how did she curse me in her heart behind my back?"

"You old dog emperor, you even accused me of being blind. I tolerated all the marriages I granted her!"

"And now! She was the one who asked for a divorce, and I gave in to her and let her get a divorce, but now she's not happy about it!?"

The queen held her forehead, feeling a headache from his nagging. Looking at her husband chattering about a little girl, she really couldn't figure out what she saw in him when she was young.

The emperor didn't know what the queen was thinking at the moment. He thought she was listening to him seriously, and he felt much better. "Tell me, this girl has no conscience. She doesn't know my painstaking efforts at all. It's a waste that I love her so much."

The Queen suddenly asked, "How does Your Majesty love Su Juan?"

She was really curious, but she never knew that her husband could be so loving.

"Of course." The emperor was speechless, and after a while he said, "I have never blamed her for not respecting me as the emperor. I believed everything she said and never questioned it."

The queen was silent, "Anything else?"

"Your Majesty, ask yourself, are you really selfless in allowing her to divorce today?"

The emperor was choked for a moment, "I am also doing this for the country!"

"After all, it's late at night. Why don't we stay in the Queen's Palace?"

If that girl really caught a cold, how could she possibly go to court given her lazy nature? She wouldn't even come to eat her favorite food. I'm afraid she must have suffered some injustice from the emperor and refused to come.

Since he has said so, why should I send him off?

It’s just two steps. Does that mean that after becoming the emperor, I can’t even walk?

Nanny sighed inwardly. They had such a good relationship back then, but now they couldn't even say a few words to each other properly.

The eunuch remained silent. He clearly cared about the matter, but he just refused to bow his head. Your Majesty is really suffering from his own pride.

The last time His Majesty came, she waited outside and talked until late at night. She thought the two of them had finally talked it out, but His Majesty still left at night and became even more distant after that.

"She ignores me, and I don't want to pay attention to her!"

Queen: "I don't think as much as your majesty does, nor do I understand the affairs of the country. I just think that if you love someone, you should follow her wishes."

The queen lowered her eyes and drank her soup, not caring much, "Didn't he say that he didn't need to send it?"

Before he could finish his words, the Queen interrupted him and asked, "Isn't this sixth-rank official position forced upon her by Your Majesty in order to place her in front of him?"

It was because of the loss of the young master that the relationship was hurt. Decades have passed, and this has become a hurdle. When will we be able to get over it?

Seeing that the queen didn't care about anything, the old emperor felt annoyed again, "Forget it, I still have some official business, you can eat, no need to see me off."

Seeing his reaction, the queen smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty feels that you love her, then you can do it."

These words blocked the emperor's remaining words.

Su Juan was given a token before, allowing her to enter and leave the palace at will. She came a few times later, but after the New Year, she never came again.

"Not long after getting married, he had physical contact with the girl who was staying at the mansion, and it caused such a big joke."

The queen found it funny in her heart. Since when did the gentle and caring husband in her impression become the emperor who even forgot the saying “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you”.

The old emperor snorted, flicked his sleeves and got on the sedan chair, "No need!"

The maid was anxious, "Madam, why don't you stand up and see His Majesty off? This is really against the rules."

The eunuch beside the old emperor saw that he kept looking back and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, how about we go back to the palace?"

"Princess Jing was afraid of losing face, so she decided to take the girl as a concubine. The prince stayed in the concubine's room every night. If the girl's ex-boyfriend hadn't come to make trouble, if she gave birth to a concubine's eldest son in the future, I'm afraid she would have to endure it."

The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward for a moment.

The two of them didn't speak for a long while and ate quietly. The queen was able to eat in peace and she glanced at the emperor several times.

I just said that. Can't you tell I was just saying it in anger?

The emperor frowned and said, "You are just a woman's opinion. I am the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, so I should naturally consider the people. Since she is an official of the court, she should also consider the people. If she can't even bear this little grievance, how can she bear greater responsibilities in the future?"

But he didn't dare say this out loud, for fear of being beaten.

She is the only merchant's daughter in the capital who has been granted marriage by me. Isn't it a great honor?

The Queen said in a deep voice, "But Your Majesty has never asked her wishes. People outside say that Prince Jing is respectful and honest, but is the truth really as the rumors say?"

"Your Majesty allowed her to divorce, but this marriage was forced upon her by Your Majesty. Now that her life is not what she wanted, she can still divorce. What about her reputation? If she divorces Prince Jing, who in this huge capital will dare to marry her in the future?"

The nanny watched nervously. It had been a long time since the Queen had dined with His Majesty like this. It was such a good thing, why did it become like this?

The emperor realized later that it had been a long time since the queen had spoken to him like this. He stared at the queen with suspicion for a long time, "Why do I feel that you are a little different today?"

I recently sent someone to invite Su Juan to have dinner with me, but the girl declined on the grounds that she had caught a cold.

The emperor straightened his back, "Isn't it?"

The queen looked indifferent, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my temper for a moment, and I won't do it again in the future."

The emperor also fell silent.

The emperor was silent. "I know that she was wronged in this matter. I didn't know that Song Qianfan was such a person before. Today, I have agreed to her request. I will issue an edict to allow her to divorce in two days."

She actually didn't even come out to see me off, and she didn't care whether I was tired from my official duties. This queen is becoming less and less attentive to me.

The emperor frowned, indeed he had not thought about these things, "If she likes someone, I will naturally arrange a marriage for her."

The latter sentence was shouted especially loudly, for fear that the queen in the palace could not hear it.

As he spoke, he stood up and the palace maids knelt on the ground. The queen did not even stand up until he walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty said that you love the girl Su Juan, but does that mean you have granted her a marriage before?" the Queen asked slowly.

The emperor was speechless.

The queen took the soup handed to her by the palace maid, drank a few sips, and behaved in a dignified manner, as if she was not the one who had been pressing the old emperor step by step and forced him into a state of speechlessness.

It can be said to be noisy, but not like it.

The emperor has granted the marriage, who dares to disobey?

At this time, the old emperor, who had already walked out of the hall, looked back and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

That night, the old emperor looked through the pile of unprocessed memorials and scolded them one by one.

The eunuch looked at the imperial edict that was almost pushed into the corner, his mind blank. The emperor in front of him didn't want to pay any attention to it at all. It was obvious that he was taking out his anger at the Queen on Lord Su.

A preview: there will be additional chapters in the next few days. It may last for a few days, or several chapters may be added suddenly in one day, hehehe.

Let's see how many people want to add more~
