Chapter 4 The "Peaceful and Unassuming" Imperial Concubine (The End)
Rong Chen made Luo Xi his empress.
Luo Xi was once Murong Han's concubine, and now she has become Rong Chen's empress.
Many ministers originally wanted to stop it, but now that the regent has just ascended the throne, even a new official has three fires to burn when he takes office, let alone a new emperor.
Anyone who isn't afraid of death should step forward; the result will certainly be death, and their entire family may also be implicated.
The price is too high; no one dares to gamble on it.
After all, Rong Chen even killed Murong Han.
They dared not, but they still hoped someone else would speak up and stop them. In the end, no one intervened.
Thus, Luo Xi smoothly became Rong Chen's empress.
Six months later,
The ministers submitted memorials one after another, requesting Rong Chen to hold a talent selection.
Rong Chen refused without the slightest hesitation.
He doesn't want to die, so why is he participating in a show?
He only needs Luo Xi in his life; what use are so many concubines?
When the ministers saw that Rong Chen didn't want to choose a concubine, they assumed it was because Luo Xi was jealous.
They thought, what if the Empress asked? The Emperor would surely agree.
As the Empress, Luo Xi probably wanted to have a reputation for virtue rather than jealousy.
On this day,
The Lady of Zhenbei presented Luo Xi with a token to enter the palace.
Phoenix Palace.
Luo Xi: "Choosing a concubine?"
Lady of Zhenbei: "Yes, Your Majesty the Empress. The Emperor has been on the throne for half a year now, and there is only Your Majesty the Empress in the harem. It is really too few."
Luo Xi frowned, but said with an unchanged expression, "You should mention this to the Emperor."
Lady of Zhenbei:
I did mention it, but the Emperor wouldn't agree.
She didn't believe the Empress didn't know.
Lady of Zhenbei: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has not agreed."
"But, since ancient times, the emperor's harem has always consisted of three thousand beauties..."
Luo Xi interrupted her: "If His Majesty does not wish to select concubines, there is nothing I can do about it."
The emperor's selection of concubines will bring her no benefit, only harm.
She's not stupid; she wouldn't go looking for trouble.
They wanted their daughter to enter the palace, give birth to a prince who would become the crown prince, and ideally, their daughter would replace her as empress.
Lady Zhenbei wanted to persuade her further, "Your Majesty, as the Empress, you should be virtuous and magnanimous."
Luo Xi: !!!
Virtuous and magnanimous? She didn't want to be virtuous, much less magnanimous.
Because being virtuous and generous would not bring her any benefits.
She said coldly, "Guards, drag her away. I really don't like hearing what she's saying. First, poison her to make her mute, and then... and then burn her at the stake."
Who says that being an empress requires being virtuous and magnanimous? She doesn't want that.
Lady of Zhenbei: !!!
"Your Majesty, you actually want to kill me?"
Luo Xi didn't want to listen to her nonsense, nor did she want to continue talking to her. After all, in her eyes, she was already a dead person.
Luo Xi waved her hand, signaling for someone to quickly pull her away.
Finally, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei died.
Rong Chen understood.
He directly ordered the execution of everyone in the Marquis of Zhenbei's household.
After that, no one dared to mention the selection of a concubine again.
Three years later,
Luo Xi gave birth to a princess named Chang Le.
Luo Xi has injured her body and can no longer conceive.
The ministers of the previous dynasty are starting to stir again.
The Empress could no longer conceive; she had only given birth to Princess Chang Le, and no princes.
Therefore, many people assumed that the emperor would definitely choose a concubine. After all, the emperor did not yet have a prince.
Rong Chen: If it weren't for Luo Xi, he would never have become emperor.
Rong Chen directly designated Princess Chang Le as the heir to the throne, and after his death, he would let Chang Le ascend the throne and become emperor.
Rong Chen loved his daughter Chang Le very much, and he loved his wife Luo Xi even more. Their daughter deserved the best. (The End)
