Chapter 139 Teach me to be a good husband

If it were another concubine who had an emperor admit his mistakes, would she feel that she had no merit?

But Jiang Xinyue would not.

She pulled back her hand with all her strength, put her hands on her waist, and pouted her cherry lips slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction: "What did the emperor do wrong?"

It was also because this body was only a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, so when she did this cute action, she looked cute and natural, as if she was supposed to be like this.

Otherwise, if it was a more mature one, such as Empress Zhu, the emperor might be scared and run away.

Emperor Xuanwu was not tired of pulling her hand, but Jiang Xinyue shook him off and pulled again, shook him off and pulled again, and finally Jiang Xinyue was annoyed and let him go.

"If Your Majesty can't explain where he's wrong, I'll ask Your Majesty to go back to where you came from. I'm not worthy of Your Majesty's grace."

She finally listened to him and Emperor Xuanwu held her hand even tighter: "Yuer, since I was born, my mother has held me to the standard of an emperor. I couldn't cry or laugh loudly. If the palace servants dared to take me out to play, the servants in the palace would be replaced the next day. When I grew up, my mother didn't allow me to have anything I loved. When I was a child, I raised a snake, but it was gone because of your mother's deliberate actions. I can confidently say that I'm a good emperor. But I... I can't be a good husband."

The cautious and expectant light in his eyes made Jiang Xinyue feel that it was time to close the net and let this big fish lie in her own pond.

But she couldn't say words of weakness, so she kept a straight face and said nothing, but her attitude was much more conciliatory than before.

This gave Emperor Xuanwu great courage and confidence to continue: "Yuer, I shouldn't weigh the pros and cons of everything and put you in danger. I shouldn't ignore your feelings, I shouldn't be indecisive, and let you suffer for the sake of balance in the court. Moreover, I will not be able to disband the harem in the future. Because I am the emperor first, and then your husband. It is my responsibility to ensure the stability of the court and the happiness of the people."

Afraid that Jiang Xinyue would be angry again, he immediately explained: "But I promise you that I will never let you suffer for anyone in the harem in the future. I can't disband the harem, but I can favor you alone. I may not be able to be a good husband, but Yue'er can teach me, right?"

This confession was still very pertinent.

He did not make wild promises that he could not do, nor did he say nice, corny words to coax himself, but he confessed the things that might bother Jiang Xinyue in the future.

He could not disband the harem, because he was the emperor and could not let the previous dynasty be shaken. He also could not stop favoring other concubines in the future. Those women entered the palace with a family mission. If he did not favor them, their families would be uneasy and would not want to do their best for the emperor.

In fact, Jiang Xinyue understood all these principles. It was normal for the emperor to be unable to do it. To do these, he would have to stop being the emperor.

But that was even more unrealistic and fantasy.

So she was still very happy that Emperor Xuanwu was willing to be so honest.

This shows that in the past two months, he has also been thinking hard about how to get her forgiveness? She also carefully analyzed what she had done wrong and why she should apologize to her.

But since ancient times, it is right for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards and three thousand beauties. Favoring one person alone will unbalance the harem.

It is just because Emperor Xuanwu has been brainwashed by Jiang Xinyue that he thinks he can only love one person. In his heart and eyes, his body and mind should belong to only one person. That is why he thinks that his indecision is wrong.

This is not the monogamy of later generations. This is a feudal dynasty where men can have three wives and four concubines, and her man is the man at the top of the pyramid of this dynasty.

This realization is all thanks to her tireless PUA and brainwashing.

Jiang Xinyue's eyes already revealed a hint of joy. In the expectant eyes of Emperor Xuanwu, she casually uttered a few words: "It depends on your performance!"

If he relapses into his old ways in a few days, she will have to plan for herself and consider leaving the son behind with the father.

However, the risk and difficulty of leaving the son behind with the father are too high. Even if it succeeds, the Empress and Concubine De still have princes, and it will not be her son's turn to sit on the throne.

For the time being, she still has to rely on the emperor's protection, wait for the Jiang family to grow stronger, or her child will develop under the halo of the Empress and Concubine De, and wait for the opportunity.

This is the best plan.

Before that, she and her child need the emperor's protection.

She did not stop Emperor Xuanwu from following behind her. Seeing this, Wang Dequan was so happy that he almost jumped up. However, he was also a man who had seen many storms, so he quickly restrained himself and turned back to ask Tang Shiliang to calculate how much he had earned from the ten gold coins he had bet on.

Concubine Zhen was a living Bodhisattva! A fairy who

gave away money!

Seeing their master and the emperor reconcile, the palace maids in Hexi Palace were very happy as if they had picked up money.

Although there was still a month before the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere in Hexi Palace was not much different from that during the Chinese New Year.

When Empress Zhu first discovered the guards picking plum blossoms, she was furious. Everyone in the palace knew that she was in the warm room today, enjoying the snow and plum blossoms, but the guards picked all the most beautiful flowers. Wasn't this a slap in the face of her, the empress?

As Empress Zhu's vanguard, Concubine Liang was not in a position to be angry or show her ugly side. Of course, she was the first to rush down the warm room, and the others followed.

They also wanted to see who was so bold as to go against the empress and all the concubines in the palace.

"How dare you!"

Concubine Liang started to get angry as soon as she entered the plum forest: "Where did you come from, you scoundrel? Don't you know that the Empress is here with the concubines to appreciate the flowers? You picked all the plum blossoms. What flowers are the Empress appreciating?"

Plum blossoms, plum blossoms, this time there really is "no flowers".

The guards did not stop even after hearing this, and even sped up a bit: "Please forgive me, Empress. The Emperor ordered us to pick three boxes of plum blossoms within a quarter of an hour. We really can't delay. If we delay the Emperor, our heads will be in danger!"

Oh!

It's the Emperor!

That's all right.

Empress Zhu waved away Concubine Liang and smiled kindly: "Did the emperor say where to send the plum blossoms? Are you going to make plum blossom wine with so many flowers? I have more than a dozen jars of plum blossom wine in my palace. If the emperor likes it, I will order someone to send it to Chengqian Palace."

The leading guard jumped down from the tree and clasped his fists to Empress Zhu: "In reply to the Empress, the plum blossoms are to be sent to Hexi Palace. The emperor is still waiting for the brothers, so it is inconvenient for me to stay for long, so I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he ran away in a hurry with a few guards carrying large bamboo baskets.
