"When future generations talk about it, they will think that I am jealous and vicious, which made the emperor dare not accept the concubine, and led to the severance of the emperor's lineage. I allow Chang'an to be strong, and I don't care about others' misunderstanding and slander, but I care about history's evaluation of me. !"
Yan Li felt very uncomfortable after hearing her words. He had also heard others say that the emperor also had things beyond his control, but he never thought that he could not control himself to this extent. It's not even possible to love someone wholeheartedly. The emperor's power, on the one hand, is the greatest, on the other hand, it is the smallest.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on making me a sinner through the ages, the courtiers will be speechless; if the Emperor really wants to do me a favor so that I will not be scolded by future generations, I hope that the Emperor will agree to my request and fulfill your promise to me." , without further ado, we canonize Zixuan as the imperial concubine. This is a blessing for the common people, a blessing for the Great Jing Kingdom, and a blessing for the Emperor and me!"
Yan Li was still hesitating, but Rong Changan grabbed his hand, with eager hope shining in his eyes: "Your Majesty!"
Yan Li turned around and walked back and forth in the pavilion.
Plop! No one expected that Rong Changan would kneel down in front of Yan Li because of Zixuan.
"Chang'an, you... what are you doing!" Yan Li quickly stretched out his ape arms to support Rong Chang'an, "Get up quickly!"
Rong Changan begged with a smile on his face: "If the emperor does not agree, the concubine will not get up!"
Yan Li: "Aren't you embarrassing me?"
Rong Chang'an said: "Even if the emperor resents the concubine, the concubine should implore the emperor to order Zixuan to be a noble concubine!"
The world of the Great Jing Kingdom was ruled by Rong Changan, and the throne was almost surrendered by Rong Changan, if he wanted to kneel, it would be Yan Li kneeling to Rong Changan.
"Okay, can't I promise you? Get up quickly! If you kneel down again, I will kneel down too."
Rong Changan said happily: "Does the emperor really agree?"
Yan Li helped Rong Chang'an up: "Don't the Queen believe what I say? I will go back in a while to draw up an imperial decree, promulgate the whole country, and canonize Zixuan as a noble concubine. Are you satisfied now?"
"The emperor is wise!"
A bitter smile curled up at the corner of Yan Li's mouth: "Queen, don't say such things, you know, I hate hearing such things the most."
Rong Changan smiled and said, "I'm not flattering. The emperor made the right decision, isn't it wise?"
Yan Li sighed, he did not fail the world, the common people, and the Yan family, but he failed Rong Changan.
Big white hands gently caressed Rong Chang'an's beautiful and heart-wrenching face.
"Chang'an, I have a queen like you. It is really a blessing from my previous life. I have read countless history books, and there are many good wives and concubines recorded in them, but in my opinion, there is no one like a queen who only pretends to be a queen. The country and the people. Many times, I really want to blame you, why can't I think for myself?"
Rong Changan showed an alluring smile, his eyes sparkled like two stars hidden inside.
"Your majesty is wrong. In fact, I was also thinking of myself. It's just that many people care about the gains and losses of honor and disgrace in front of me. I care about the gains and losses of honor and disgrace after a hundred years or a thousand years."
Yan Li's thumb wiped Rong Chang'an's vermilion lips, her lips were warm and soft.
"The empress is very wise and beneficial, I am far behind you."
Rong Changan looked outside the pavilion and lowered his head embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, Chuntao and others are watching!"
Yan Li's finger seemed to be struck by lightning, and he quickly retracted it.
"Chang'an, I'm sorry..."
Chuntao and the others didn't dare to look into the pavilion, they all turned their faces to the outside, so Chuntao and the others had no idea what happened in the pavilion.
…
The next day, Yan Li really issued an imperial edict, naming Zixuan as noble concubine. The officials debated in the court, and almost all agreed to confer Zixuan as a noble concubine.
Therefore, Yan Li chose an auspicious day, and made Zixuan a noble concubine.
Ziyan is equivalent to a person from the previous dynasty, so the two most powerful people in the palace now are Rong Changan and Zixuan. What's more, Yan Li has very few imperial concubines, wives, and daughter-in-laws. Basically, Yan Li is either in Fengwu Palace or Fengming Palace at night.
Yan Li remembered that the governor of Jiangnan was corrupt and perverted the law and oppressed the people, so he always wanted to go to Jiangnan in undercover to check the people's situation. But Yan Li's decision was opposed by Rong Chang'an.
"As the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can you take the risk alone? You may not be able to find evidence of the county guard's corruption and perversion of the law. If it is not good, you will be threatened by the local tyrants and evil gentry. Why not go to the south of the Yangtze River openly and send people Go investigate the sheriff's affairs."
Yan Li thought for a while, he was no longer the person who had nothing to worry about, now his life and death were related to the rise and fall of the whole country, he had to be careful with every move he made.
"The queen is right. I cannot take risks alone. If I go to the south of the Yangtze River, will the queen be willing to go with me?"
Rong Chang'an said: "The emperor only needs one word, you tell the concubine to go east, and the concubine dare not go west."
Yan Li was very happy: "Did the queen agree to go to Jiangnan with me?"
Rong Chang'an smiled: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is so beautiful, and I'm getting impatient in the palace, so I went to the south of the Yangtze River for a walk, so what? Actually, it's exactly what I want."
Yan Li also promised Zixuan that he would take her where she wanted to go. On this day, the court was fine, so Yan Li came to Fengwu Palace to chat with Zixuan.
During this period of time, Yan Li has come to Fengwu Palace every now and then, and now Zixuan and Yan Li are like glue, and no one can do without the other. According to Ziyan's words, Zixuan is extremely gentle to Yan Li, and only hopes to conceive Yan Li's child.
Therefore, every time Yan Li came to Fengwu Palace, Zixuan would take out the bottle of wine, drink two glasses each, and fell dizzy on the bed. Even though Yan Li was a wise monarch, after drinking that wine, he couldn't control himself. It is not a day or two for Yan Li to go to bed in Fengwu Palace.
On this day, it was dusk again, and it was raining outside, sparsely.
In the bedroom, Zi Xuan and Yan Li were drinking and talking.
Yan Li looked at the raindrops outside, and remembered that he was going to Jiangnan in a few days, so he looked at Zixuan:
"Remember what I promised you?"
Zixuan looked confused: "What did the emperor promise me?"
Many women would keep Yan Li's promise in their hearts for the rest of their lives, but Zi Xuan couldn't remember what he said! Zixuan is really a strange woman.
"Didn't I promise you that wherever you want to go, I will accompany you there?"
Zixuan opened her big eyes and looked at Yan Li with her head tilted like a little sparrow: "Will the emperor accompany me around?"
Yan Li shrugged his shoulders, with a very helpless expression: "I have so many political affairs, how can I do as I please! I am going to Jiangnan this time, I don't know, are you willing to go with me? You must be bored in the palace, According to what I want, why not go out with me to meet the misty mountains and rain trees in the south of the Yangtze River."
