She could take this opportunity to marry Huan, but what if Huan didn't agree? What if she agreed and the emperor punished Huan?
General Shu also reacted. If he agreed, regardless of whether the emperor had any backup plans, his daughter would suddenly go from being a concubine to being the general's wife. Isn't this a big gap?
Shu Fei entered the palace in the first place in order to secure a position as a concubine so that these military generals could also have a foothold in the court.
But if Shu Fei no longer serves as a concubine, their family will definitely be inferior in the eyes of the emperor.
That won’t work!
General Shu immediately shook his head, pushed Concubine Shu to the emperor, kowtowed twice, and said to the emperor emotionally: "I am terrified, terrified. I personally handed Shu Qingqing to the emperor back then, how can I let her marry someone else now? This kind of thing has never happened before, and it will never happen again. I cannot do such a disloyal and unfilial thing!"
These words were like a stone falling from the sky, landing heavily on Shu Fei.
Shu Fei couldn't catch her breath, but her tears kept falling like beads that had broken off the string.
She seemed to see with her own eyes the man she loved walking past her but failing to pull her out of the quagmire.
The emperor said nothing, just looked at Shufei.
But Shu Fei acted as if no one was around and burst into tears.
In the afternoon, the emperor got on the sedan chair. Qiao Yuange wanted to refuse, but because Shu Fei was in a bad mood, the atmosphere was very strange.
Shu Fei had been sitting in the sedan chair crying and wiping her eyes.
After Qiao Yuange sat down, the sedan was about to start moving, but General Shu, despite his injuries, still caught up, looked at the emperor, and said seriously and respectfully: "Your Highness, my Qingqing is still young and ignorant, please... give her a chance."
The emperor said nothing and watched General Shu bow to him.
The sedan started moving and Shu Fei's sobbing gradually subsided.
The emperor had been leaning on the couch with his arms folded. Seeing that Shu Fei seemed to be able to communicate, he said, "You seem to like Xiao Huan very much! When you heard that you couldn't marry Xiao Huan, you seemed very disappointed?"
Shu Fei didn't say anything, but she became bolder, as if she had a feeling of complete despair and shattered.
The emperor didn't seem to care whether Shu Fei wanted to speak or not, and just continued calmly: "I am a person who thinks things through. I won't punish you just because you don't like me, unless you do something that makes me unhappy."
"If you really feel wronged and feel that I have delayed your bright future, I have a good idea that can help you and your lover finally get married."
It was not until the emperor said this that Shu Fei's silent attitude finally changed.
She raised her eyes and said expectantly, "What is it?"
"You can have a romantic relationship with General Huan in the harem, or you can ask General Huan to enter the palace to accompany you, but you have to be a concubine!"
No, is there something wrong with the emperor's brain?
Did he mean to let Shu Fei cheat on him and still give her the position of imperial concubine?
Masochist?
Shu Fei frowned, her brain was not working well: "Your Majesty, I can openly flirt with General Huan under your nose, and I can still be a concubine? Why? Besides, the position of concubine is now occupied by someone else."
Shu Fei apparently hasn't understood what the emperor means.
But Qiao Yuange had already reacted.
It was probably Concubine An and the An family behind her that put a lot of pressure on the emperor.
Now, because of the trouble caused by the emperor, the Yun family can be said to have lost their power.
Not only was Prince Yun laughed at by everyone in the previous dynasty, but the Queen Mother was also suppressed by Concubine An in the harem.
And with the decline of the Yun family, the An family actually has no intention of becoming the only dominant family.
After General Shu came back, the situation in the entire court was obviously different.
General Shu made great military achievements and became a celebrity in the previous dynasty. He was also very popular and everyone wanted to have a good relationship with him.
The emperor took the initiative and, while trying to show his goodwill to General Shu, he used the matter of Concubine Shu to suppress General Shu and made him dare not continue his action.
What gave the emperor the most headache at this time was settling down in his home.
Although the An family has not taken any action yet, Concubine Dowager An and Concubine Noble An are domineering in the harem and are very arrogant and aggressive.
The younger brother of the previous dynasty's Concubine Dowager An and the uncle of Concubine An were the prime minister, the head of the imperial court, and he became more and more arrogant.
The entire An family is counting on Xiao Liang.
Fortunately, Xiao Liang doesn't have anything to do all day long and lives a carefree life. The emperor really treats him as a brother.
Seeing that the An family had become the most powerful family, how could the emperor allow them to continue?
As for the previous dynasty, the emperor would naturally find a way to suppress the An family.
But in the harem, perhaps only the young and inexperienced Shu Fei can help.
Shu Fei thought about it for a long time. Unfortunately, this girl didn't read much and her IQ was not high. If she didn't break these things down and explain them to her, she basically couldn't figure it out.
The emperor was quite helpless and could only look at Qiao Yuange. Then he said in a weak tone: "I want to make Qiao Yuange my queen. I want Qiao Yuange to be my only woman. It's too much of a hindrance for Concubine An to sit in that position. If you push her down, I will give you freedom. Isn't that good?"
So it was all for Qiao Yuange?
Shu Fei bit her lip and looked at Qiao Yuange with resentment.
Qiao Yuange sat there, brainstorming, and seriously considering the emperor's motives for doing these things.
But the emperor suddenly used her as a shield. She raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
Even though she had some resentment towards the late emperor, she had a completely different feeling towards him.
So Qiao Yuange took the blame for the emperor for the time being.
Shu Fei was obviously moved, but she still had a woman's mind and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you like Qiao Yuange so much? Do you even want to disband the harem for Qiao Yuange?"
The emperor was not polite either, and said to Shu Fei: "Do you like Xiao Huan so much? Even for Xiao Huan, you can disobey me? Your answer is my answer, so go back and think about what you want."
Although Shu Fei was unhappy with Qiao Yuange, the emperor's proposal was too tempting.
She immediately said, "I will do it."
The emperor nodded and said with satisfaction: "You are not a smart person, but you are smart for once. But I want to remind you. Whether you like Huan is your business, and whether Huan likes you is Huan's business. You can't give up just because Huan doesn't like you."
"I hope you can implement this matter quickly. If you drag your feet and only think about dating without any ambition, I will directly expose your affair to the public, and your Shu family will be in great danger."
