He looked at the Queen blankly, "Queen..."
Zhu Wuhuan raised his hand to signal him not to speak.
She said, "In fact, the emperor has been asking me to live in Taiji Palace. I also feel that it is inappropriate, but the emperor does not listen to me, and I am helpless."
She looked at Zhang Zhennan with a smile.
"Master Zhang's coming to advise me today has truly solved a huge problem for me! How about this? You and I will go to see the Emperor right now. Let's work together to get him to agree to my leaving Taiji Palace. I've been wanting to return to Changle Palace for a long time!"
She stood up as she spoke.
You don't dare to advise your hot-tempered tyrant to go away and favor other concubines, but you come here to cause trouble for me. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?
If you dare to come to me, I will take you to find the tyrant!
Aren’t you very brave? Go, I’ll give you a chance to show yourself and let the tyrant see how loyal you are!
They are so loyal that they start to worry about which woman he should favor in the backyard!
Since you are such a worrier, why don't you just be brave enough to persuade him to quickly confer the title of Imperial Concubine on Xiao Yuanzi?
"!" Zhang Zhennan was shocked when he saw the Queen stand up and act as if she was going to find the Emperor immediately!
How dare he go to the emperor and tell him?
The emperor has been childless in recent years. It’s not that there are no ministers advising him, but can they advise the emperor?
Anyone who dared to persuade the emperor to have a child sooner would be ordered by the emperor to get all his concubines and wives pregnant within a month. If they failed to do so, the emperor would remove them from their official positions!
The emperor said it so arrogantly at that time——
You are allowed to force me to give birth, but I can't force you?
If we want to have a baby, let’s have it together!
Go give birth to a few children for me to see!
After that, no one dared to talk about the affairs of the harem in the court anymore...
The Emperor is very irritable! He doesn't play by the rules!
So recently the emperor has been favoring the queen alone, and none of them dared to advise the emperor. They could only secretly come to the queen, hoping that the queen could persuade the emperor to treat everyone equally.
It’s not that they can’t stand seeing the queen being favored, but this is the royal family after all. The emperor has to give birth to more princes so that he can choose the best one among them to be the crown prince, right?
In addition, since there was no good news from the Queen, they naturally hoped that the Emperor would favor other concubines...
What if the Empress is unable to conceive, wouldn't that delay the Emperor?
The matter of the prince concerns the country and the people!
He thought that when he came to see the Queen, the Queen would be easier to talk to, but it turned out that the Queen was so scary!
He quickly bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Wuhuan didn't give him a chance to say more. He waved his hand domineeringly and said, "What are you waiting for? We can't wait! Whose palace will the emperor sleep in tonight? This concerns the succession of the Daning Dynasty and the country. How can we wait?"
She walked down the steps with Suqiu and looked at Zhang Zhennan. "Master Zhang, let's go. It's already afternoon. We should finish our business with the Emperor as soon as possible so that I can move out of Taiji Hall as soon as possible to avoid delaying the Emperor's favors with other concubines tonight, right?"
"..." Zhang Zhennan was so shocked by the Queen that his scalp went numb.
No, no, no, it shouldn't be like this according to his imagination!
Shouldn't he have risked his life to advise the emperor, and then even though the queen was very sad and upset, as the mother of a country, she still had to force a smile and nod in agreement, saying that she would find an opportunity to advise the emperor?
Even if the situation was a little worse than he imagined, he would only be scolded by the Queen!
He really didn't expect that the Queen would be so unconventional. Her style of doing things was a perfect match made in heaven for the Emperor!
He bravely tried to stop Zhu Wuhuan, "Empress, I…"
"By the way, Master Zhang—"
Zhu Wuhuan interrupted him, walked forward gracefully, and smiled slowly.
"Are you familiar with any of the dozen or so concubines? If so, please tell me about it. Because of your loyalty to the Emperor and your willingness to risk your life to advise him, I will mention her name to the Emperor and have him favor her tonight, okay?"
When Zhang Zhennan heard this, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud!
What the Queen said is truly heartbreaking!
Isn't this implying that he has something to do with the concubines, and that he risked his life to give advice today not for the public good but for personal reasons, and that he was asked by the concubines to curry their favor?
She even said that she wanted to talk to the emperor about this matter in person. The queen felt that she couldn't kill him and wanted the emperor to kill him with a knife!
He kowtowed and said, "Please understand, Your Majesty, I have no connection with the Emperor's concubines. I came to see Your Majesty today only for Daning!"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at him with a smile, pretending to be surprised. "Master Zhang, what's wrong? Didn't I also say that you are loyal to Daning? I know Master Zhang's loyalty. That's why I wanted to show you some favor and help your acquaintances..."
Zhang Zhennan kowtowed once more, "Your Majesty, please understand. I really don't have any acquaintances in the Emperor's harem!"
Zhu Wuhuan glanced sideways at Suqiu.
Suqiu thought about it carefully and whispered a few words into Zhu Wuhuan's ear.
Zhu Wuhuan laughed and said, "Master Zhang, you must have remembered it wrongly. I heard that Concubine Song is the niece of your wife's uncle's cousin. You should know each other—"
She curled her lips.
She knew that according to the marriage network of the powerful families in the capital, it didn't matter if she could go around in circles and establish some connection.
Zhang Zhennan was almost crying because of the empress's embarrassment.
He was not familiar with his wife's uncle's cousin, let alone that man's niece?
He didn't even know, did that Concubine Song really have this kind of relationship with him?
He raised his head and glanced secretly at the Queen, thinking that it was impossible to persuade the Queen today. It would be better to use this excuse to retreat while the Queen didn't take him to see the Emperor!
He immediately revealed a surprised expression, "Your Majesty, is this true? I must go back and ask my wife!"
He kowtowed again, "Since I am related to the emperor's concubines, it is not appropriate for me to advise the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor will think that I am trying to gain favor for Concubine Song, which would harm Concubine Song."
He kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I was reckless today. Thank you for your reminder. I will take my leave."
Zhu Wuhuan watched the Left Censor-in-Chief flee in panic, and after he walked away, she couldn't help but laugh.
Do you think she is a soft persimmon?
Oh, then she will bully him into being a weakling!
Just as she was thinking this complacently, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far behind her.
"The Queen really opened my eyes."
She suddenly turned around and saw Feng Changye walking out from behind a flower stand not far away.
When did he come?
He didn't see her bullying his minister, did he?
When Feng Changye heard her inner thoughts, he curled the corners of his mouth and felt particularly happy!
He had been there for a long time and had seen all the scenes of her domineering and intimidating behavior!
Those bastards who worry about his harem every day should be scared like this. What the queen did is really gratifying!
Tsk, she is worthy of being the mother of his little prince, so majestic, so sinister, and so bad!
His little prince will inherit all the advantages of him and her in the future. I wonder what a smart and cute little guy he will be!
