To all readers of "Princess Jiaojiao," not only are you reluctant to see this book end, I'm also reluctant to see it end. I'm currently writing a new book, so it's not convenient to announce my new account here. Interested readers are welcome to visit the book circle group...
This time, I decided to add some extra chapters to meet everyone's request, so that everyone can revisit the stories of Luo Lan and Leng Yu, as well as several other couples in the book...
Extra 1
Leng Xi VS Yu Qiaoqiao
Leng Yu voluntarily gave up the throne to Leng Xi and went to travel with Luo Lan...
This incident became a hot topic among people on the streets.
Of all the people, the happiest person was Concubine Li.
She moved into the Cining Palace as the Empress Dowager and took full control of the affairs of the harem.
Yu Qiaoqiao, who always likes a comfortable life, turned a blind eye to this.
Having experienced wind, frost, snow and rain with Leng Xi in Mianzhou, she has become indifferent to everything. She is neither surprised nor happy about Leng Xi's ascension to the throne, and faces it calmly.
However, Leng Xi was quite dissatisfied with this. He understood Yu Qiaoqiao and knew that she had developed a character of not arguing or talking over the years. But ever since his mother took charge of the harem, the eunuchs and maids in the palace had been complaining because Concubine Li was too strict with the servants.
If she doesn't fight for it, he will fight for her, or rather, he will fight for the servants in the harem.
When he arrived at the Cining Palace, he saw Concubine Li looking through something. After hearing the servant's report, Concubine Li did not look up, but excitedly said to Leng Xi:
"Xi'er, I know you're busy with state affairs, so I'll take care of the trivial matters like selecting concubines for you. In half a month, the concubines sent from all over the country will enter the palace. I've rejected more than a dozen from these lists. The rest are all women with prominent family backgrounds, gentle and virtuous, and who are compatible with you at the age of eighty. When they enter the palace, I'll screen them again for you, and finally pass them on to your approval..."
"Mother, I never said I wanted to select a concubine. There is no shortage of women in this harem. I appreciate your kindness. Let's stop with the selection!"
Seeing that he disagreed with this, Concubine Li immediately closed the roster in her hand and glared at him.
"How can that be? You are the emperor now, wouldn't it be a joke if you don't have three harems and six courtyards? Besides, you only have Xiaobao as your child now, that's not enough..."
"Qiaoqiao has been with me through thick and thin. I won't do anything to let her down. Also, she will take care of the harem from now on. You're old now, don't overwork yourself..."
Concubine Li's face turned ashen in an instant. She suppressed her anger and slowly stood up.
"Did she ask you to come to me?"
"No, this is my idea. She is the queen, and the affairs of the harem should be managed by her."
"Do you think I'm willing to take care of these trivial matters in your harem? Look at her, she acts like she's indifferent to the world all day long. If I don't take care of the affairs of the harem, it will definitely be a mess..."
"Because you're in charge, she doesn't. Do you think you're managing the harem well now? Why do you always make things difficult for the servants? Why did you cut the expenses of Hibiscus Palace in half? Why don't you let Yu'er and Xiaobao study together? Before Fourth Brother left, I promised him that I wouldn't treat Concubine Li and Xiaobao harshly, but what did you do? You're deliberately provoking trouble. If you keep going like this, the harem will be in chaos..."
Seeing that Leng Xi was already angry, Concubine Li took a deep breath and then glared at him angrily.
"Xi'er, now that you've grown strong and become the emperor, you no longer take your mother seriously, right?"
"I dare not. What's more, I am only temporarily taking over the throne for Fourth Brother. Whenever he wants to come back, the throne will still be his. So, please don't bother selecting concubines for me. I won't want any of them."
"Give it back to him? Are you crazy? This throne was hard to come by, and you want to give it back to him? In the future, you should pass this throne to Xiaobao..."
"Mother, this throne doesn't belong to me, nor to Xiaobao. I've already decided that if Fourth Brother doesn't return in ten years, I'll give the throne to Yu'er. He's guarded our father's mausoleum for six years, so he's the one who deserves this position..."
"You dare?"
Leng Xi's words made Concubine Li's face turn ashen in an instant.
If Leng Xi passed the throne to Yu'er, wouldn't Concubine Li be superior to her? She could never accept such a thing.
Force is not working, she can only stab it with a soft knife,
"Xi'er, no matter what, you worked so hard to get the throne, so you have to stick with it until the end. Xiaobao will take over in the future. Liu Luolan is a playful person. If they leave the palace, they will definitely not come back. Yu'er has a weak personality and will definitely not be able to handle state affairs. You can't just watch Daning fall into the hands of someone else, right?"
But Leng Xi seemed to not care about what her mother said.
"Mother, I have already made my decision on this matter. You no longer need to worry about it. I will hand over the harem account books to Qiaoqiao to manage. All these concubines will be returned. As the emperor, I will do the same as when Fourth Brother was on the throne. I will never do anything to let Qiaoqiao down."
"Confused..."
"You're confused. You have food, drink, and maids to serve you in the harem. You're old, too. Why bother with these trivial matters? You've been fighting with your father's concubines your whole life. Aren't you tired? Now you have the upper hand. Why not enjoy your old age and leave opportunities to the younger generation?"
this……
Leaving behind these seemingly polite but in fact irrefutable words, Leng Xi shook his hand and turned away.
Concubine Li stood there in a daze for a while, then laughed at herself.
Her good intentions were taken for granted by her own son.
But what could she do? A son is no longer under his mother's control. If she does something he doesn't want her to do, he will object. If she gets angry, he might do something.
