"Thank you for your guidance, Noble Consort. I will tell the Emperor that I am willing to leave the palace."
"I, your concubine, am also leaving the palace. I want to see the Jiangnan region after the rain, the rivers of Suzhou, the beautiful mountains, and many other beautiful sights."
"I want to go too. I want to go too."
The concubines had gotten to this point because of Concubine Wan's instigation, but they didn't expect that Xu Jinyi's few words could easily resolve the situation.
The concubine has been out of the palace for many days, and the emperor does not allow anyone to disturb the imperial concubine's rest.
This was an opportunity she had finally found.
Wanpin looked at Xu Jinyi with a complicated expression, then smiled with relief.
Looking at the sisters who had been together for several years, she said loudly: "I want to leave the palace together. I will not go home. For the rest of my life, I want to live for myself."
At this moment, Wanpin thought of herself before entering the palace. She had also been so simple, innocent, and laughed heartily.
But later, in order to survive, she had to plot against others and plan for herself.
And now, she also wants to leave the palace to see the beautiful scenery. If she meets a young man she likes one day, she will definitely fight for him.
Xu Jinyi smiled and picked up the teacup: "It's good that you can figure it out. You still have a lot of youth. When you go out, you can choose whether to get married or have children."
"I hope all of you sisters will live freely and unrestrainedly in the future, unburdened by the gazes of others. I offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."
"We also wish you, the Imperial Noble Consort, a long and happy marriage with the Emperor, and a son soon."
This scene is extremely harmonious.
When the emperor heard that all the concubines had entered Siyu Palace, he walked in anxiously and angrily.
What he saw left him dumbfounded.
In the courtyard of Siyu Palace, the concubines were laughing happily.
Several tables were set up, and the concubines were seen playing mahjong, eating snacks and drinking wine.
Several people who didn't know how to play Mahjong sat lazily on their chairs, eating in a casual manner and chatting about the past.
Some concubines even rolled up their dignified sleeves and used things to catch butterflies.
Some even climbed up trees and swung their legs lazily.
The emperor was not the only one who was shocked. Youfu's mouth was so big that it could even fit an egg.
In the palace, even a palace maid had to behave properly, with a proper posture and even a standard way of sitting.
Now, how come these concubines...
Youfu didn't dare to say the next words, but he still shouted, "The Emperor has arrived."
Seeing such a wonderful atmosphere being ruined by that bastard, Xu Jinyi directly pulled him away.
When the emperor learned that all these concubines were willing to leave the palace, he was full of admiration.
The emperor sent maids to persuade these people for half a month, but it was of no use.
Now, after hearing what Xu Jinyi said, they are actually willing to leave the palace.
"So just go and do your thing. Today will be their farewell party. Don't come and disturb them."
"Okay, then take care of yourself."
In the next few days, the concubines in the harem were secretly sent out one after another by the emperor.
A month later, only Concubine Su was left, which surprised Xu Jinyi.
The ceremony of crowning Xu Jinyi as queen was held as scheduled, and the ministers had no objection to crowning Xu Jinyi as queen.
After all, after so many years, only Xu Jinyi successfully conceived a dragon heir.
This position belongs to her.
Marquis Anyuan admired his daughter very much, as she was able to overthrow the queen and sit in that position herself.
Even the big tree of the Jiang family was uprooted.
A few days after the empress coronation ceremony, Xu Jinyi came to Concubine Su's bedroom.
As if she had anticipated her arrival, Concubine Su prepared tea.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Sister Su, please sit down. There's no need to be polite between you and me."
Xu Jinyi sat down, drank tea, and looked at the depressed Concubine Su in silence.
Concubine Su smiled gently: "Your Majesty, how are you going to persuade me to leave the palace?"
Without waiting for Xu Jinyi's answer, Concubine Su continued to speak to herself: "I don't plan to leave the palace. Don't worry, I have no feelings for the emperor. In this harem, you can pretend that I don't exist."
"I won't compete with you for the emperor."
Xu Jinyi took a sip of tea and looked up at the gentle Concubine Su. Concubine Su was actually still very young, but her cold and aloof temperament made her look mature like someone who had lived for decades.
Live a simple life, without desire or demand, and be indifferent to life and death.
"General Mu is thirty years old this year, single and unmarried. I don't know who he is waiting for?" Xu Jinyi said calmly.
Concubine Su looked at Xu Jinyi in shock, a layer of mist slowly appeared in her eyes, and her cold look disappeared.
Concubine Su was breathing rapidly, with Xu Jinyi's words in her mind.
The meaning of those words was too profound for her to digest.
Two pearl-sized tears fell, and Concubine Su shook her head: "No, my father said that Muleng got married after I entered the palace."
"After that, he went to guard the border town and hasn't been back for many years. He should have a child by now, so why is he still unmarried?"
"No, no."
"According to what I know, the Mu family did arrange a marriage for him, but General Mu refused. He even severed ties with his family and asked to go to the border town."
"In recent years, General Mu has not relied on his family background, but has bravely charged forward in every battle without regard for his life. He has now reached the position of a second-rank general. What do you think he works so hard for?"
I have numbed myself, lost the desire to live, and have no hope for the future.
When Concubine Su thought of this, tears streamed down her face. She sobbed inconsolably as she thought of the injuries the man had suffered on the battlefield over the years.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Why is Brother Leng so stupid? He should be married, have children, and live a happy life. Why is this happening?"
"My father lied to me. He lied to me. He said Brother Leng had forgotten me a long time ago, had married and had children, and was living a happy life."
Seeing Concubine Su crying so sadly, Xu Jinyi was a little moved.
"He has done so much for you. Now that you have the chance to leave the palace, why not be brave for once?"
"Do you really want to watch him go to the battlefield without any desires and commit suicide? Do you really want to wait until he dies on the battlefield before you regret it?"
Wasn't that what happened in the previous life? If Concubine Su had left the palace and married him in this life, would the ending be different?
Thinking of the tall and strong young man riding on horseback, full of vigor and vitality, Concubine Su's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety: "Will he dislike me? Will he still want me?"
"General Mu has been injured quite a bit in recent years. I heard there's a deep scar running from his forehead to his eyebrows. Even children would scream when they saw it. It's clear how bad the wound was and how disfigured it was. Do you despise him?"
Concubine Su shook her head violently, and her tears flowed even more violently.
