The Queen Mother asked again, "Do you want to stay with me forever?"
Zhu Xianyue nodded hurriedly.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "How about you enter the palace and become the Emperor's concubine?"
“…” Zhu Xianyue blushed.
"Your Majesty...I'm afraid you look down on me."
But there is no noble lady in the capital who does not want to marry the emperor.
The Queen Mother also knew that she was being modest.
But when she saw Zhu Xianyue's slim waist and plump buttocks, she couldn't bear to give up on her.
By autumn, Emperor Jiang Heyu was twenty-nine years old.
Others at this age already have many children and grandchildren.
But what about Jiang Heyu? He didn't even have an egg under his knees.
But I also feel sorry for Zhu Xianyue.
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. If she can't give birth to a prince, won't she end up living alone in the palace?
Alas, it's very contradictory.
But seeing Zhu Xianyue's eager look, she must also like the emperor.
But because of face, he refused to say it out loud.
How about...
"Send the Emperor over and tell him I'd like him to dine with me."
She asked the two to meet first.
Whether they succeed or not depends on their luck.
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Zhu Xianyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother understood her shyness as a woman.
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"My Queen Mother asked me to go, so of course I will go." Jiang Heyu said as he closed the last memorial.
The eunuch reminded, "But... Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is still waiting in the side hall. She said she has written a few new poems and wants to discuss them with the Emperor."
Jiang Heyu likes talented women.
Imperial Concubine Zhu Yulan is here to please the emperor.
Jiang Heyu waved his hand and said, "Filial piety comes first among all virtues. Let her go back."
“Yeah.”
However, a confidant also told Jiang Heyu that the new lady Zhu was also in the Cining Palace.
It was obvious that the Queen Mother asked him to go there just to meet Miss Zhu.
Thinking of that beautiful figure, Jiang Heyu's heart trembled slightly.
Food and sex are part of human nature. He admitted that he was attracted by Zhu Xianyue's slim figure.
Can……
The concubines in the harem had no children.
The imperial physician also said that he might never have children in his lifetime.
If Miss Zhu is allowed to enter the palace again, it might ruin her.
The kind emperor planned to pretend to have no interest in Zhu Xianyue so that the empress dowager would give up this idea.
…
Cining Palace.
When the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were dining, even if Zhu Xianyue was favored by the Empress Dowager, she was not allowed to sit at the table.
She stayed in the side hall and ate something lightly.
Jiang Heyu had no appetite and the Queen Mother was also worried, so dinner ended quickly.
The Queen Mother then had Zhu Xianyue invited over.
Jiang Heyu held the jade ring in his hand and frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are here to greet you. May they be in good health and blessed with a long life."
Zhu Xianyue looked like a god of fortune, and the hairpin on her head did not shake at all.
"Come, sit next to me."
The Queen Mother greeted her.
"The chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. Mother, please take Miss Zhu to see them. I have an appointment with the Imperial Concubine, so I'll be leaving first."
Jiang Heyu said this deliberately.
It was just to tell the Queen Mother and Zhu Xianyue that he had no interest in Zhu Xianyue.
The Queen Mother was helpless and full of regret.
But just as Jiang Heyu reached the door, he heard Zhu Xianyue behind him say to the Queen Mother, "Wait until autumn arrives on September 8th. My flower will bloom and all other flowers will die. The fragrance will soar through Chang'an, and the whole city will be covered in golden armor. I, your servant, also admire the nobleness and tenacity of the chrysanthemum." (Note: The poem is from "Poem on Chrysanthemums after Failing the Imperial Examination")
"If I cannot spend my life with the gentleman I admire, Ju, I would rather cut off my hair and become a nun."
The noble lady of the Wuding Marquis's Mansion was reserved, so she used this method to express her inner feelings.
