Chapter 1780: I don’t want my own tender cabbage to be eaten by pigs so early
The Queen blushed slightly, but couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Emperor Zhengde's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, what Su Aiqing said makes a lot of sense.
A daughter-in-law must be coaxed, pampered and obeyed.
What the daughter-in-law said is right, and what she said is wrong is also right.
After all, a man’s face is not as important as his wife’s happiness, right?
Emperor Zhengde laughed, seeing his wife laugh, this is a sense of accomplishment -
It is even more powerful than being in the court and listening to officials singing praises of world peace!
The Empress had no idea what the Emperor was thinking. Just as she was about to unfold the letter, she felt a sharp pain.
"ah!"
The Queen covered her heart with her hands in pain, her face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Yingying!"
Emperor Zhengde's face changed drastically and he supported the Empress.
Then, he shouted, "Call the imperial physician!"
There was immediate chaos in Kunning Palace.
The Imperial Concubine and the others had not gone far when they learned that the Empress was suddenly ill, and they hurried back.
At this time, no one paid attention to the big box on the ground, and all attention was focused on the Queen.
"Yingying, how do you feel?" Emperor Zhengde hugged the Empress and asked in panic, "Where does it hurt?"
The Queen closed her eyes, said nothing, and just shook her head slightly.
Emperor Zhengde became even more panicked.
"Where's the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Emperor Zhengde said anxiously, "I'm going to chop off their heads!"
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were so frightened that they all knelt down.
"Your Majesty..." The Empress opened her eyes and said weakly, "Don't keep talking about chopping off people's heads..."
When Emperor Zhengde heard this, his eyes turned red and he nodded repeatedly.
"Okay... I won't cut it... I was wrong..."
When the imperial concubine and others saw the emperor like this, even though they had given up all thoughts of him long ago, they still couldn't help feeling bitter.
After all, this man is also their man.
The pain in the Queen's heart soon passed, but her heart was still beating wildly.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine..."
The Empress struggled a bit, trying to get out of Emperor Zhengde's arms.
Emperor Zhengde tightened his grip and said nervously, "Yingying, be obedient and don't move. Wait for the imperial physician to come and take your pulse..."
The Queen Mother glanced at the Imperial Concubine and others in the palace with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
The Imperial Concubine immediately said, "The Empress's health is of paramount importance. Please obey the Emperor. I will wait for you to go outside and send someone to urge the Imperial Physician."
After saying this, without waiting for the Queen to speak, he took Concubine Shu and others to the outer hall.
Emperor Zhengde glanced at the imperial concubine's back and was very satisfied with her knowledge and interests.
In this way, it would not be in vain for him to specially promote the imperial concubine's father and brother, and let the imperial concubine take charge of the six palaces for many years.
The Queen Mother looked at the women who left so quickly with a complicated look in her eyes.
It was pointless for her to compete for favor, but she couldn't influence the emperor's mind either.
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask." The Queen said earnestly.
"Yingying, you say!"
Not to mention one, he would agree to ten or a hundred.
He didn't want Yingying to feel resentful towards him and avoid him again.
Ten years!
A full ten years!
Forget about hugging Yingying, even the way he could see Yingying was by sneaking into Kunning Palace with the help of the secret guards.
Now, with the help of his son and Fuya, Yingying has finally accepted him again, and he doesn't want to make Yingying angry again.
"We'll let Jin'er's marriage be his own from now on," the Empress said. "Even if he only marries one wife and loves only one person for the rest of his life, we shouldn't interfere. We shouldn't join the court officials in forcing him to select concubines to fill the six harems."
Emperor Zhengde: “…”
Emperor Zhengde looked at the Empress, and the Empress looked back at Emperor Zhengde.
The two people's eyes met, as if they both recalled the sweetness of their honeymoon days, and later the sadness and helplessness of the two people drifting apart for the sake of stability in the court, for the balance of power among all parties, for the laws left by their ancestors, for the expansion of the royal family, etc.
A trace of guilt appeared on Emperor Zhengde's face.
"Okay! I promise you!" Emperor Zhengde said in a resounding voice, "We will leave him a peaceful and prosperous era with centralized imperial power!"
In that case, even if all the officials jointly advised against it, even if the ancestral rules were there, no one could force the son to take women into the six harems.
However, Emperor Zhengde felt that no one could force his son because of his stubborn temper.
However, as a father, he was still willing to clear all obstacles for his son.
Then, Emperor Zhengde added: "Before I pass on the throne, I will issue an edict to abolish some old laws and enact some new ones!"
Although Emperor Zhengde did not explicitly say what he wanted to abolish or establish, the Empress understood what he meant from the glances between the two.
"I, your concubine, would like to thank the emperor on behalf of Jin'er!" said the Queen solemnly.
Emperor Zhengde felt somewhat helpless.
"That's my son too."
The imperial concubine and others walked to the palace gate and happened to hear the conversation between the emperor and the empress.
Several people couldn't help but look at each other.
As soon as they left the palace, Concubine Shu couldn't help but say, "The Queen will be a good mother-in-law in the future."
"The Queen is also a good queen." The Royal Concubine sighed.
Otherwise, these women in the harem would not live so easily and comfortably.
Although the Empress was imprisoned and kept indoors for the past few years, she knew that the Emperor would often run to the gate of Kunning Palace in the middle of the night to wait for his husband.
All food, clothing and expenses in Kunning Palace are under the secret supervision of the emperor, and are completely at the level of the empress.
No one can interfere, and no one dares to withhold the Queen's things.
Because of this, any concubine in the palace who had any brains would not dare to underestimate the imprisoned queen.
"If you ask me, the Empress Dowager is worrying for nothing." The virtuous concubine whispered, "The Su family loves their daughter so much, and Tangtang is such a lucky person. Does the Empress Dowager still need to beg the Emperor? Tangtang can handle it herself."
Consort Defei said, "Why would Tangtang be needed? With the Crown Prince's intelligence and his love for Tangtang, he would have handled everything smoothly earlier."
Several ladies: "..."
Thinking of how Xuanyuan Jin treated Tang Bao as his eyeball, I was speechless.
"What do you think, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally come to his senses?" Concubine Shu gossiped in a low voice.
"At His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's age, he should have become wise long ago, but he just doesn't realize it." The virtuous concubine said as a matter of course.
After saying that, he pretended to be in deep thought and said, "I just wonder if Tangtang has come to his senses?"
If Tangtang fell in love for the first time, and the one she liked wasn't the Crown Prince...
The virtuous concubine did not dare to say this.
"It's better if you don't get it!" said Concubine Shu.
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows.
Consort Xian: “…”
Imperial Concubine: “…”
Empress Defei: “…”
Why do they feel this way too?
I don’t want my tender cabbages to be eaten by pigs so early.
