When the emperor returned to the palace, Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen hurried to express their condolences.
No matter what, he is the child's biological father. If something really happens, they need an explanation as to whether they will go to the fiefdom or stay in Beijing.
Especially since they are older, they no longer have any sexual interest in the emperor's summons and favors, and just want to live a peaceful life in peace.
The emperor had just drunk some fine wine in the space, and all his worries seemed to have been relieved, and he was in a very good mood.
When he saw Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen coming, he quickly pulled his two beloved concubines to sit down.
"It's been a while since we last chatted together, right?"
"Over the years, I've been so grateful for your tolerance, your gentle care, and your consideration for me."
"I've been busy with government affairs, so I don't have much to offer you. The only thing I'm happy about is that you both have children."
Concubine Lin: “…” Oh, you have no shame at all and still have the nerve to say that.
Tian Zhenfei: "..." I know, I know. We are just tools. Could you please show some mercy and let us go? We really want to leave the palace.
Concubine Lin said, "Your Majesty, you look alright. How about we leave first?"
Concubine Tian Zhen said, "That's right, we must not disturb the emperor's rest."
As the two men spoke, they stood up and wanted to run.
The emperor quickly stopped him and said, "What a joke! Now that he's let go, no one will listen to his true feelings."
"Sit down. No one is allowed to leave without my order."
Concubine Lin gave Concubine Tian Zhen a look: You are drunk, sit down.
The two of them sat down again helplessly.
Seeing this, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.
Then he said sadly, "I have let you down for so many years, so I have decided to let you choose instead."
"Don't say I don't love you. This time I really mean it. I'm going to let you choose for yourselves."
Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen didn't take it seriously. They nodded perfunctorily and both started cracking melon seeds.
The emperor continued, "I am prepared to abdicate and let the crown prince succeed me."
"Prince An and Prince Kang can both stay in the capital. The Crown Prince is not intolerant of his brothers. I feel very relieved to hand over the country and the royal family to him."
Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen found that the melon seeds were particularly fragrant today, and they ate them even more vigorously.
The emperor's next words were: "If I become the Supreme Emperor and the Empress becomes the Empress Dowager, they will definitely not serve me."
"Pah." Concubine Lin threw away the melon seeds.
The emperor is a scumbag. When he was young, he was unwilling to move more even if you asked him to. He was lazy.
Now that I'm old and can't move, I still want her to serve me. That's impossible.
Tian Zhenfei also put down the melon seeds, coughed lightly, and looked at the door, ready to run away at any time.
The emperor thought they were finally listening seriously, and spoke even more enthusiastically.
"When the time comes, I can take you with me. Of course, if you don't want to..."
As soon as he said this, Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen immediately said in unison: "We don't want to."
Concubine Lin was the first to speak: "I am already a grandchild, so why would I hold my old man instead of my grandchild? I want to go to Prince An's Mansion and ask for His Majesty's permission."
Concubine Tian Zhen was not to be outdone and said, "Huai Ce and his wife are not on good terms. I have long wanted to live in Prince Kang's mansion to help mediate and reconcile them. I beg the Emperor for permission."
When the emperor heard this, his head buzzed and he asked, "Don't you want to be with me?"
Concubine Lin said, "We are an old couple. Even after death, we are buried separately. Your Majesty, please don't worry about me."
Concubine Tian Zhen said, "I am weak and cannot serve Your Majesty anymore. How about Your Majesty find a new favorite concubine?"
emperor:"……"
"I actually want to say..."
Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen stood up decisively and ran away.
The emperor was left alone, disheveled in the wind.
He turned around twice and didn't catch any, so he said frantically: "I just wanted to say that I could take you on vacation, what are you doing?"
"Everyone is running faster than rabbits. Where can I put my face?"
"I was worried about letting you down, but now... you don't have to worry anymore."
"You guys are really worthy of me!"
The emperor felt more and more aggrieved and decided to go to the queen to complain.
After the queen came back from soaking in the hot spring, her body became even more delicate and her skin was as smooth as a baby's.
Her fingers, which used to be dry and flat, are now white and charming. She is leisurely dyeing her fingers with nail polish, preparing to find an auspicious day to recognize Xiaoman as her granddaughter.
But just as I was thinking about this wonderful thing, the emperor suddenly arrived.
This is really a downer.
The Queen suppressed her smile and said unhappily, "What is the Emperor doing here at this hour? Didn't he just summon the two sisters? Isn't that enough?"
The emperor said depressedly: "Don't say anymore, they all want to leave the palace."
The queen was delighted: "Who wouldn't want to leave the palace?"
The emperor immediately said, "You want it too?"
The Queen asked in return, "Your Majesty, don't you want to?"
The emperor thought of the beautiful scenery, fine wine, delicious food, everything that followed his heart's breath, and the calm and attractive pace in the space. It was like he had found a paradise on earth to spend his retirement.
"I don't want it to be fake."
"That's why I summoned them. I hope to take them for a walk as well."
"But it seems that they don't really want to be with me."
"Isn't it just that I'm a little bit fickle? I'm very good to every woman, and I've never let them down. I..."
The Queen said simply: "Get out!"
The Emperor: “…” He felt even more depressed.
But before leaving, he still asked the Queen: "Do you think Yan Shu's space will be closed after my sister-in-law leaves?"
