"It's not a good idea for a little peasant woman to be directly made a concubine, let alone a concubine of the Emperor," the Queen Mother raised her objection.
The emperor said, "My mother also knows that Brother Hui is stubborn. If it were just an ordinary concubine, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to stop him."
The empress dowager immediately thought that she had asked the emperor to take Jiang Yi as his concubine with the intention of embarrassing the emperor, but if Zhao Yu was willing to risk the world's taboo and have something happen with the emperor's concubine, then the Zhao family would be the one to be embarrassed.
This is absolutely not possible.
Although Jiang Yi was not worthy of being a concubine, she became the Concubine Chen, so Zhao Yu had to think carefully before doing anything.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother also felt that conferring the title of Consort Chen on Jiang Yi was the most appropriate approach.
So on the morning of the second day, the imperial edict to appoint Jiang Yi as the Consort Chen was issued to the six palaces. Jiang Yi had previously been placed by the emperor in a house outside the palace, and the imperial edict was also sent there.
Although there was no grand wedding, the emperor personally went to greet her, which still gave Jiang Yi enough face.
People who didn't know were curious about who Jiang Yi was, and became even more confused after learning about Jiang Yi's background.
They didn't know that Jiang Yi had been married to a prince consort before. They only knew that Jiang Yi came from an ordinary family but entered the palace as a concubine. They felt that Jiang Yi was not worthy, but they only complained a few words in private. After all, even the empress dowager didn't say anything.
There was a lot of discussion outside, but the harem was quiet.
After the emperor brought Jiang Yi into the palace, he placed her in the Yaochi Palace, which was closest to the emperor's bedroom.
This was Jiang Yi's first time entering the palace, and she still felt a little unreal.
She actually entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine.
Jiang Yi knew her own limitations. With her status, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for her to become a concubine, or even enter the palace.
But the emperor did it. She was a little surprised and a little uneasy at the same time.
She looked around the Yaochi Palace with a nervous heart. The emperor suddenly held her hand and said, "You will live here for the rest of your life. Now, don't rush to look around. Look at me first."
The two had not seen each other for three days since arriving in Beijing.
Jiang Yi walked forward with the emperor, but his eyes were fixed on the emperor's figure beside him.
Compared with the previous two days, the emperor seemed a little weaker.
"Are you sick?" she asked with concern. She already knew that the emperor's situation was very bad. She immediately felt that the emperor was punished by the empress dowager because of her entry into the palace. Only she knew the severity of the punishment. After the two of them entered the bedroom, she expressed her doubts.
The emperor smiled happily, "No, I'm not sick. I've just been feeling unwell. I'll be well soon."
Jiang Yi didn't understand what he meant, so she asked again, "Then how did you convince the Queen Mother to let me into the palace?"
The emperor whispered the whole process to Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi was very surprised.
"Is it really like this?" She murmured, "After all, the Emperor was raised by the Empress Dowager. She is so cruel. Just to prevent Zhao Yu from having anything to do with me, she treats you like this. If you don't recognize me and don't like me, how wronged you must be."
Jiang Yi felt that she had seen too little in the past. Her mother's evil was more direct and obvious, but the empress dowager's evil was more complicated and ultimately meant to kill people.
"Actually, I've thought about this before. If my identity were known to the world, it would be a burden to you. I would be a stain on you. But seeing you taking the initiative, I wanted to give it a try too. But the Queen Mother is clearly trying to use me to suppress you. Shouldn't I have entered the palace?"
Those misty eyes were filled with heartache, and filled Shen Congzhao's entire heart.
He pressed Jiang Yi's head against his chest and said, "Don't doubt yourself. You have never been a stain, let alone a stain on me."
"The weak are afraid of being dragged down by others, but I am a strong person. You must trust me. I have already arranged everything before doing anything. The Queen Mother does not know what I am thinking, but I know what the Queen Mother is thinking."
"I love you, everything about you. You are the only one in this world who makes me feel that my heart is alive."
"I told you before that I am impotent..."
Jiang Yi coughed violently, "You...you don't have to keep bringing this up."
The emperor smiled. "That's not what I meant. I was not only impotent, but also physically weak before. But once I got close to you, I felt full of strength. Weakness has nothing to do with me."
"You are like a savior sent by God to me."
"Without you, I would probably die soon."
“So never underestimate yourself.”
He squeezed her hand and whispered in her ear, "Xiaoyi, are you ready?"
Jiang Yi was listening intently and looked up at him.
He suddenly added, "I prepared for a long time last night, but nothing compares to practice. If there is anything wrong, please tell me and I will continue to work hard."
"Don't be disappointed in me. I will improve little by little."
Jiang Yi: "Even if you are completely unsatisfactory, I won't be disappointed. I love you as a person, not anything else."
emperor:"......"
She said this as if he was really completely gone.
But in this way, if he performs a little better, she will think he is very powerful!
Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease.
"How can it be completely impossible?" He said as he took off the pearl hairpin on Jiang Yi's head.
Her long hair like seaweed hung on her shoulders like a veil. Jiang Yi's cheeks were flushed. When she met the man's obviously red eyes, she became so nervous that she didn't dare to look at him.
