The palace maids did not dare to discuss it, but the people outside the palace dared to discuss it quietly.
In the largest city wall in the capital.
"Big news! Have you heard? The one in the palace has been canonized as a noble concubine!"
"Ah? Who is it? I remember there is no empress in the palace. In all these years, His Majesty hasn't even chosen a concubine."
"You're behind the times! Did you know about the execution at Caishikou yesterday?"
"I know. As for the Zhao family, the former prime minister colluded with the enemy and even planned to rebel, but was eventually exposed.
His Majesty ordered the execution of the entire Zhao family, but Zhao Yonggang was rescued by Lin Yueguo's men.
Yesterday's execution was to execute the other members of the Zhao family.
What's going on? Is the newly crowned imperial concubine in the palace related to the Zhao family?
The other party was speechless.
"You know the news quite clearly, so how come you don't know the relationship between the Imperial Concubine and the Zhao family?
Do you know who exposed the Zhao family?"
"I know, she's the Prime Minister's wife, and seems to be the legitimate daughter of the great general who protects the country.
Yes, what about this lady? I didn't see her beheaded yesterday.
Although she is a member of the Zhao family, she exposed the Zhao family's crimes, so she can be considered to have made meritorious service while guilty. Even if the entire family is executed, she should not be executed."
The other party was even more speechless.
“The Prime Minister’s wife you mentioned was already kept in the palace by His Majesty on the night she exposed the Zhao family’s crimes.
And today, the woman canonized as the Imperial Concubine by His Majesty is the Prime Minister's wife. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Ah?! What?! Is this true?!
Then, Your Majesty...has taken my wife by force?!"
He lowered his voice before uttering the last few words.
He paused and added, "Besides, Prime Minister Zhao is dead, so the Prime Minister's wife is a widow. Your Majesty is forcibly taking a widow!"
You are truly a tyrant, capable of doing such a thing!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Just let me know, don't go into too much detail!"
The people nearby heard it clearly and came over to discuss it.
"Hey, you said, did the imperial concubine volunteer?"
"What does it matter if it's voluntary or not? How can someone favored by His Majesty have the freedom to make their own choices?"
"That's true. Alas, they are all poor people!"
.......
Ying Xixi was unaware of the discussions outside the palace. She followed Yueya around the harem and suddenly remembered something.
The fact that Xiao Xieyun appointed her as a noble concubine must have been known to everyone in the palace, and it would spread out of the palace sooner or later.
However, it seems Xiao Xieyun only announced the news of her becoming a noble concubine, and did not announce her divorce from Zhao Linjian! !
Thinking of this, Ying Xixi turned her head and asked Yueya.
"Yueya, do you know that I have divorced Zhao Linjian?"
Upon hearing this, Yueya's eyes widened a bit, "My Lady, have you already divorced?"
Ying Xixi understood, it seemed that Yueya really didn't know about this.
Yueya is now her personal maid, and even Yueya doesn't know about this...
