Gu Wang raised his eyes, took Ying Xixi's hand and spoke seriously.
Ying Xixi pursed her lips. She was still wondering whether Gu Wang would say that he wanted to disband the harem and only have her.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it.
Your Majesty, I don't know how the news of my pregnancy spread all over the capital, and I don't know who spread it."
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Wang's eyes became a little colder.
"Xixi, don't worry. I'll take care of this. I've already sent people to investigate. No matter who the other party is, I will deal with her!
In short, you should take good care of your pregnancy and wait to become my bride in two months."
Gu Wang smiled, his narrow eyes full of tenderness and love.
Ying Xixi pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded.
Gu Wang stayed with Ying Xixi until after dinner in the evening, and then reluctantly returned to the palace.
If he didn't have things to do in the palace, he would have wanted to stay tonight.
After Gu Wang returned to the palace, Eunuch Fuquan was a little surprised to see him.
"Your Majesty, you are back. I thought you would not come back tonight."
"I don't want to come back either, but I haven't finished reviewing the memorials yet. I need to finish things as soon as possible so that I can go to Ying Mansion to accompany Xixi tomorrow."
When mentioning Ying Xixi, Gu Wang's expression unconsciously softened a lot.
Eunuch Fuquan smiled like an auntie, "Your Majesty, why don't you bring Miss Ying into the palace first?
This way you can spend more time with Miss Ying, and the palace maids can also take care of Miss Ying."
"The palace is not safe now."
Gu Wang said without thinking, "Xixi hasn't even shown up yet, and someone in the palace is already plotting against her.
If I bring her into the palace before I have dealt with the affairs in the palace, I am worried that she will be hurt.
The safest place now is Ying Mansion. The rumors in the capital are only about her pregnancy, and there is no mention of me wanting to marry her.
If we rashly bring her into the palace, there will definitely be rumors in the capital.
I don't want her to hear those unpleasant words."
Eunuch Fuquan understood, "Your Majesty is right, it is indeed impossible to bring Miss Ying into the palace for the time being.
But Your Majesty, you have three thousand beauties in your harem. Even if Miss Ying marries you and becomes the queen, there is no guarantee that she will not be plotted against by those three thousand beauties.
Whether now or later, Your Majesty will always be worried about Miss Ying. Why don’t you just dismiss the harem and eliminate these potential dangers?
This way, no one will dare to plot against Miss Ying in the palace, whether now or in the future!"
Eunuch Fuquan’s words suddenly awakened Gu Wang.
The more Gu Wang thought about it, the more he felt that disbanding the harem was indeed a good idea!
He had already secured the throne and did not need concubines to stabilize the court.
Today, the Nanyue Dynasty has neither internal nor external troubles.
Why did he keep so many concubines?
Moreover, he had never favored any of them at all, so they could still get married normally even if they left the palace!
"Fuquan, you've become smarter lately! Reward!"
Gu Wang was in a good mood and rewarded with a wave of his hand.
Eunuch Fuquan smiled so much that his face was covered with tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gu Wang was just about to think carefully about how to dismiss the harem when the secret guards he sent out to investigate arrived.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. The current discussion in the capital was spread by Empress Shufei."
Gu Wang frowned.
Concubine Shu?
It seems that when Concubine Shu came to the Imperial Study that day, she heard him talk about the Queen's coronation ceremony and then she took it upon herself to have someone investigate.
She could investigate, but she should never set her sights on Xixi!
Gu Wang tapped the table with his fingertips and made a decision in his heart.
The next day.
An imperial edict shocked the entire harem.
Gu Wang decided to disband the harem and made it clear that he had never favored the concubines since they entered the palace.
Each concubine can decide where to go after leaving the palace, and people outside the palace are not allowed to look down on them just because they have been in the palace.
Gu Wang also gave each concubine a sum of money as compensation.
He gave the concubines two days to pack up and leave.
When the time comes, if anyone still refuses to leave, they will lose both their life and their money.
When the imperial edict was issued, those who wanted to leave the palace were very happy. They quickly packed their bags, took the compensation money and left.
Those who don't want to leave the palace and are ambitious to become queen will be unhappy.
They tried to change Gu Wang's mind, but what greeted them was a farewell service from several guards.
Several guards drove them out of the palace along with their luggage.
Gu Wang's behavior was very resolute, and it also let everyone know his determination to disband the harem.
The ministers did not dare to persuade him, for fear that Gu Wang would get angry and they would be kicked out.
So within two days, all three thousand beauties of Gu Wang left, and the harem was empty.
As for Concubine Shu, Gu Wang did not let her off so easily.
He sent people to create chaos in Concubine Shu's house, and let Concubine Shu face the chaos.
As for whether Concubine Shu was sent away or died, that was not Gu Wang's business.
Gu Wang dealt with all of this and issued another imperial decree.
He announced to the world that he would marry Prime Minister Ying's sister Ying Xixi, and make Ying Xixi the queen. From then on, she would be the only one in the harem, and he would not take any more concubines!
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, it caused another wave of shock in the capital.
After all, rumors about Ying Xixi were making the rounds in the capital a few days ago.
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Ying's sister Ying Xixi had an affair with a man without a matchmaker and got pregnant.
So the wild man is the emperor? ?
Prime Minister Ying’s sister is pregnant with the emperor’s child?
Pregnant with dragon seed? ?
Everyone in the capital was shocked.
They no longer understood what was going on with the emperor.
The emperor clearly had three thousand beauties in his harem, but not only did he issue an imperial decree to dismiss the concubines, he also openly stated that he had never favored any concubine.
As a result, the emperor favored a woman who was not yet his concubine and made her pregnant.
Everyone: “???”
So Prime Minister Ying's sister is the Emperor's true love?
Yingfu.
Miao Manman was even more excited than Ying Xixi, the person involved.
"Ahhhh! So excited! Xixi, the Emperor actually disbanded the harem just for you!
This is totally unheard of! The Emperor really loves you, otherwise he wouldn't do this!
That's great, Xixi! Once you enter the palace, you won't have to compete with a bunch of women for men, and you won't have to engage in intrigue with a bunch of women!"
Ying Xixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shrugged helplessly and spread her hands. "I didn't expect the emperor to do this. In fact, I was ready for a palace fight, but before I even started, my opponent was gone."
"Xixi, palace fighting isn't that easy. You, the emperor is so kind to you, just be content.
The emperor's edict also clearly stated that from now on, you will be the only one in the harem and he will not take any more concubines!
That’s great! But if you put it this way…”
