After a night of fighting, the Sultan was too tired to get out of bed, but the emperor was in high spirits, as if he had endless energy.
The emperor considerately did not wake up Sultan Ruo. He told his servants to let Sultan Ruo have a good rest before going to the morning court.
During the morning court session, the emperor announced that he was planning to dismiss the harem.
The ministers were surprised that the emperor would disband the harem for a woman.
Some ministers even threatened to commit suicide, saying that the Sultan's concubine was a disaster to the country.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty still has no heir. If you dismiss the harem, who will take over the throne of Great Xia? Please think twice!"
"If Your Majesty insists on having his own way, then please select a son of the royal family to adopt under your name, secure the position of Crown Prince, and stabilize the country!"
"I second this motion!"
All the ministers knelt on the ground, forcing the emperor to compromise.
The emperor narrowed his fierce eyes slightly and said coldly:
"I am still in my prime, and you are so impatient to covet my throne!"
"I have made up my mind. If anyone tries to dissuade me, don't blame me for not respecting the relationship between monarch and subject! Dismiss!"
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the Imperial Household Department began to get busy. The concubines were not as reluctant to leave the palace as the emperor thought.
Many of them have never seen the emperor since entering the palace. Although they have the title of concubines and are considered the emperor's women, they feel empty and lonely in this deep palace, and no one knows what kind of life they lead.
When they heard that the emperor was going to disband the harem and give them a large sum of money so that they could live the rest of their lives in peace, many concubines were very excited.
Knowing that it was the Imperial Concubine who proposed it, they were even a little grateful to her and envied her for being favored by the most noble man in the world.
The relationship between Sultan Ruo and the Emperor also inspired them. If they were lucky enough after leaving the palace, they also wanted to find a husband to be with them for the rest of their lives.
If you are not so lucky, you can still live a good life with this money and don't have to suffer in this deep palace.
Huo Yun was about to leave. The Queen Mother was reluctant to let him go and wanted him to stay with her, but Huo Yun had his own life he wanted, so he refused the Queen Mother.
If she had not been chosen as a concubine, she might have run her own shop and relied on her own abilities to give herself the life she wanted.
Before leaving, Huo Yun went to see Su Danruo, who also said that if Huo Yun wanted to stay, he could ask the emperor to let her stay with him.
Huo Yun told Sultanruo about her future plans. She wanted to open a rouge shop in the imperial city. She has always loved beauty, and especially liked to study rouge and powder.
These days in the palace, she has studied many recipes for rouge used by the nobles in the palace. If she can make these things herself and sell them outside, they will probably be liked by many noble ladies.
Su Danruo thought Huo Yun's idea was good, and immediately expressed her desire to invest. She did not expect that her action would make her a shareholder of the largest rouge shop in the country, giving her endless dividends.
The news that the emperor had dismissed his harem spread throughout the imperial city. Many ladies from wealthy families were shocked to see that the emperor could go to such lengths for his lover.
She thought of her husband again, and in a fit of rage, she forced her master to drive out the concubines from the house. However, they also followed the practice in the palace and gave the concubines some money.
Many concubines followed these masters just to survive or for money, and very few of them truly loved them.
After all, concubines are all young and beautiful women, and no one can really be willing to follow those greasy middle-aged men.
Gradually, a wave of monogamy emerged across the country, but this trend did not last long. Most men did not have the same determination as the emperor, nor did they love their wives as much as the emperor.
It wasn't long before they started visiting brothels again and keeping mistresses.
After a long time, the wives became disappointed with their husbands and were no longer willing to take the trouble to take care of them.
That’s all for later.
Back to Sultan Ruo, since the emperor ordered that this matter should be completed as soon as possible, the efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also very high, and most of the concubines had already left the palace.
But the imperial concubine refused to leave, saying that she truly loved the emperor and only wanted to stay with him.
As long as she can stay, she will do anything.
The emperor was strolling with Sultanruo in the imperial garden, admiring the flowers, when the imperial concubine suddenly rushed out and grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes.
She knelt on the ground and begged the emperor not to drive her away.
The emperor frowned and wanted to have the imperial concubine taken away by force, but was stopped by Sultan Ruo.
If the Sultan has found out that Concubine Chu is going to attack him, then the Imperial Concubine must be fanning the flames.
She had originally wanted to let the imperial concubine go if she left on her own initiative, but now she changed her mind.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has such deep feelings for you that I cannot bear to separate them. Why not just keep her?"
When the emperor heard what the Sultan said, he thought to himself that something was wrong and that his concubine might be angry again.
He hurriedly tried to get the imperial concubine away, but she clung to the emperor's legs and said:
"Your Majesty, please don't chase me away. Since I've served you for so many years, please keep me by your side! Even if I have to be a palace maid by your side, I'm willing to do so!"
Hearing this, the Sultan spoke at the right time:
"Your Majesty, since my sister has said so, please keep her in the palace! I happen to be short of a maid in the palace, so why not keep her in my palace?"
She wanted to keep the Imperial Noble Concubine in the palace and torture her slowly. Wasn't the Imperial Noble Concubine in love with the Emperor? Then she would let the Imperial Noble Concubine watch the Emperor and herself making love every day.
