Princess Zhaoyang next to her pursed her lips nervously, her pink face was full of longing.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Jinyu's tone softened unconsciously.
Seeing Zhao Jinyu's kind face, Princess Zhaoyang became more courageous, licked her lips, and said courageously, "My queen, I heard that this year's lantern festival is very beautiful."
Zhao Jinyu immediately understood what Princess Zhaoyang meant. The imperial palace is good, so it can't stop the birds who want to fly. Princess Zhaoyang naturally began to yearn for the outside, wanting to go out and have a look, "I asked Ask your father."
"Don't..." Princess Zhaoyang was still very afraid of the emperor, she was startled when she heard this, grabbed Zhao Jinyu's sleeve and said eagerly, "Queen Mother, don't tell Father Emperor, I just want to talk."
Zhao Jinyu touched Princess Zhaoyang's cheek lovingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, with your mother here, your father won't lose his temper with you, besides... In fact, your father loves you very much in his heart, and he can't bear to bear it." .”
"What are you talking about?" the emperor asked sullenly.
Some fears are accumulated over the years, and cannot be changed overnight. Through getting along with each other these days, although Princess Zhaoyang knows that the emperor is not as scary as the rumors outside, she feels her legs tremble when she sees her father's sullen face, and she clenches Zhao Jinyu tightly. sleeves, and cried pitifully, "Mother's Queen..."
The emperor listened to the two people's words from the side, and he couldn't get angry. Didn't he have three heads and six arms so he was so afraid
Zhao Jinyu poked the emperor with her elbow, made a smiley face, and said, "Your Majesty, you will scare the princess like this."
"I was just asking you what?" The emperor wanted to smile at the princess, but he got angry when he saw the princess hiding her face in fear
How did he give birth to such a daughter? Not the faint of heart! You must know that she is the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Seeing that the warm atmosphere of the reunion was about to be destroyed again, Zhao Jinyu hugged Princess Zhaoyang into her arms and patted her on the back to comfort her, while saying to the emperor, "Your Majesty, let's take the princess to watch the lanterns outside the palace. .”
"Let her tell me herself." The emperor said angrily.
The more Princess Zhaoyang buried her face in Zhao Jinyu's arms, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and said vaguely, "Queen Mother, I'm not going anywhere, you told Father, don't be angry."
Zhao Jinyu had nothing to do with the father and daughter, and said, "Okay, don't be afraid, your father loves you the most, and will definitely take you there." Then he stared at the emperor, gritted his teeth and said, "Really? ,His Majesty?"
"Hmph, it's you who spoiled her!" The emperor sullenly, the air became cold, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Others thought that the emperor was about to lose his temper, and the maids and eunuchs didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of being affected... But only two of them seemed calm, one was the eunuch Ruifu, and the other was the waiter Zhao Jinyu Nanny Li, the two of them looked at each other, both of them tacitly agreed.
But the two of them thought differently, Ruifu thought..., His Majesty has long been in the hands of the empress, so why would he lose his temper at the empress? Thinking of this made his heart ache, what about the majesty and dignity of the emperor? , and what Li Nanny thought was, the empress is in charge of His Majesty, and the Emperor is as docile as a tiger with its teeth pulled out in front of the Empress, so why would he lose his temper at the Empress? And wait for a while to be subdued.
At this moment, the emperor finally lost the battle and said, "I agree, but..., princess, don't bother your mother next time, and tell me if you have something to say." The emperor is always reluctant to let her go. It's hard for Zhao Jinyu to do it... What's more, in fact, he also wants to satisfy his daughter's wish in his heart, but he is just angry.
Princess Zhaoyang was both pleasantly surprised and frightened. Seeing Zhao Jinyu's overwhelmed look, Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but rubbed her hair and said, "Don't you thank your father?"
Princess Zhaoyang still felt scared, buried her face in Zhao Jinyu's arms, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Thank you, Father."
The emperor continued to keep his face dark, and he really didn't expect his daughter to face him gracefully.
Concubine Shu didn't expect Princess Zhaoyang to get into such a disaster just by walking away, her whole body shrank like a leaf in the wind, her eyes were red, she seemed to be about to cry, she said, "Your Majesty, you are a slave Did not teach the princess well."
Zhao Jinyu helped her forehead helplessly, and said, "This is all my idea, so don't be so nervous." Then she patted Concubine Shu on the shoulder and said softly, "How long has it been since you have been out of the palace? Don't you want to see look?"
Concubine Shu knew that she was going to refuse, but what Zhao Jinyu said made her yearn for it so much, as if she had been wishing for a lifetime, and after getting along with Zhao Jinyu for this period of time... Knowing her nature, she became more and more eager to move, okay After a while, her eyes flickered, and she said, "Is this... okay?" Going out of the palace..., she wants to go out even if she dies! But she always knew that unless she died, there was no way to get out in this life.
"Of course." Zhao Jinyu nodded with a smile, but couldn't help but feel sad... How many people entered the palace voluntarily? It seems that she has to hurry up and sort out the harem, leaving only the necessary manpower, and handing out the rest, which can be regarded as a good deed.
It was so easy for the empress to go out of the palace, but the emperor quickly got it done. The four of them changed their clothes and prepared to leave the palace in modest clothes.
According to Zhao Jinyu, what he watched was the excitement of the people. If he went directly to Shengjia, what excitement would there be
However, An Wenyao, the commander of the dark guards, felt that his head was pinned to his belt... He still remembered the last accident, the emperor's stone body was missing like this.
This time, An Wenyao mobilized more than 500 hidden guards, and sent out more than 2,000 people to cooperate with the imperial guards. When he arrived at the Lantern Festival, he saw a hidden guard almost five steps away.
Princess Zhaoyang was so excited, jumping up and down in front, she said, "I want that candied haws!" After a while, she said, "I want this clay figurine, hey, can you make my shape?"
Concubine Shu tugged at the princess's sleeve, and said disapprovingly, "Miss, you can't call me like that, you see this peddler is old enough to be your uncle, so just call him uncle."
The peddler who made the clay figurine was wearing a patched bunt, his face was flushed from the cold, but he still smiled honestly and said, "Madam, don't blame your lady, I am just a clay figurine maker, what do you like the lady?" Call it whatever you want, miss, how big a clay figurine do you think you want to make?"
"It must be the same size as this one." Princess Zhaoyang didn't listen to Concubine Shu's words, and followed the peddler's words, pointing to the samples on the side and said, "The clothes also need to be the same, can they be colored?"
"Okay, okay, it can be colored." The peddler smiled kindly, and quickly took out a piece of mud, and then squeezed it a few times with his rough hands, and the face of Princess Zhaoyang emerged on the mud like this. On it, but it was pinched in a moment, then opened a box, took a brush from it, and started to stain the color and start coloring.
Princess Zhaoyang's eyes were straightened. Although there are many exquisite toys in the palace, they are not as fresh and fun. Waiting for her to see the finished product, she said happily, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful! Can you give it to me..." Princess Zhaoyang She glanced shyly at Zhao Jinyu and the emperor, waited to see Zhao Jinyu's encouraging eyes, and immediately said boldly, "Can you make a clay figurine for my parents?"
The peddler also has a good eye, and he saw that these three people were either rich or noble, not to mention that this little girl was carved from jade and wore expensive furs. Not to mention the two standing behind, this little girl's father and mother, the man is plump and handsome, with a luxurious and majestic temperament. The face is kind and amiable, but unconsciously, it is noble and extraordinary.
"It can be done, but this rough craftsmanship is afraid that the nobles will look down on it." The peddler said very fearfully, thinking in his heart... It is said that many princes and grandsons will come to the lantern festival in disguise. But looking at it so carefully now, the two of them are not ordinary people.
At least it must be Master Liu, right
The peddler's hands trembled unconsciously.
Princess Zhaoyang took the clay figurine made by the peddler and couldn't put it down. Then she looked down at the peddler's fingers... and then noticed that they were covered with frostbite.
"Why don't you wear gloves?" Princess Zhaoyang said.
Concubine Shu frowned and said, "Miss, they rely on handicrafts for a living, how do you make clay figurines with gloves on?"
"Aunt..."
The peddler smiled good-naturedly, and said, "Madam, your lady has a bodhisattva heart, and she is considerate of us servants, so don't blame her."
Zhaoyang was not as excited when she saw the peddler making clay figurines now. She stood a little awkwardly, feeling very uncomfortable, but she didn't know why she was uncomfortable.
"Here, finished kneading, these are your parents, do you look like them?" The peddler fawningly handed the two newly made clay figurines to Princess Zhaoyang.
"Like, thank you very much, uncle." Princess Zhaoyang thanked her sincerely.
"Miss, you haven't paid yet." The peddler couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the little girl leave after thanking her. This must be a young lady raised in a deep boudoir who doesn't know how to pay for things.
"I still want to give money?" Princess Zhaoyang was a little flustered. She had only seen gold ingots, but she hadn't brought them out. After thinking about it, she returned the bracelet on her hand and handed it to the peddler, saying, "Here you are." this."
The peddler looked at the bracelet, it was green and full of water, even at night, it must be a priceless treasure, how could he dare to ask for it, and said, "It's too expensive, no, it's not worth so much money, it's only eight dollars apiece. One big money, you can give me twenty-four big money."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Seeing Princess Zhaoyang's reaction, the emperor frowned all the time, looking a little worried. Zhao Jinyu held the emperor's hand and said, "There are so many people who seem to be fine."
The emperor originally didn't agree with the princess making some clay figurines, but Zhao Jinyu persuaded the emperor in time, and said, "The princess doesn't live in the palace all her life, so why does your majesty want to imprison her for the rest of her life? The world is so big... there are many interesting things to do." There are also many interesting things, so it’s not a good thing for the princess to go and see more, and gain a lot of knowledge?”
The emperor felt that what Zhao Jinyu said was wrong. Girls just wanted to be raised in deep boudoirs, but when he thought of the days when he was a stone and wandered with Zhao Jinyu, he felt that although he was not free at that time, he was a stone body after all, but now he thought about it again. Feel very happy.
Of course Concubine Shu knew that she had to pay, but where would she carry a purse in the palace all year round? At this moment, the almighty Ruifu appeared on the stage, and he handed a heavy purse to Concubine Shu, saying, "Use this to pay the bill."
Princess Zhaoyang paid the money to the peddler, holding the kneaded clay figurine in her hand, and said crisply, "Uncle, you are rich now, but remember to buy gloves and wear them."
The peddler thought to himself, he couldn't even eat enough, so where would he have money to buy gloves? But looking at Princess Zhaoyang's innocent appearance, he felt that he could not refute her kindness, so he said with a kind smile, "Okay, I will follow your orders."
Princess Zhaoyang laughed immediately, as bright as a little sun, she felt as if she had finally done something happy.
Who knew that just after the two of them finished speaking, they heard someone next to them say viciously, "Buying gloves? The money owed to grandpa hasn't been paid yet." A long, thin man walked away surrounded by several men with the same fierce face. When he came over, the peddler fell to the ground as soon as he raised his foot.
"You have money, right? Pay back the money!" The skinny man stepped on the peddler's face and said viciously.
When had Princess Zhaoyang seen such a posture, she was so frightened that she burst into tears, Concubine Shu hugged her tremblingly, and coaxed, "Don't cry, let's go quickly."
Concubine Shu actually doesn't want to stay here for a long time at all, but the empress has acquiesced to this matter, and she can't refute it, but at this moment, she can't care about other things. The princess is a daughter of gold, how can she be frightened like this Woolen cloth? She felt distressed like something.
Princess Zhaoyang hugged Concubine Shu's neck tightly with her small hands. Although her little face was pale with fright, she kept her eyes on the peddler who was threatened by the skinny man, and said in a condescending way, "Auntie, that uncle is so pitiful. "
The skinny man scavenged dozens of copper coins from the peddler, but was still not satisfied. Finally, he saw a bracelet with an excellent water head in his paint box, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, it's so good to hide it!" Things? This is good, Er Er Qian, our debts are canceled, but I will take this bracelet."
The second son of the peddler Qian knew that Princess Zhaoyang had secretly put the bracelet in the paint box. No wonder she was smiling so happily just now. Such a kind heart, just thinking about it like this is in vain. The young lady is ignorant, so how can he pretend not to know? If such a precious thing was known to the noble parents just now, they would definitely not agree. He reached out to grab the bracelet and said, "Master Liu, that nobleman dropped it here just now. You can't take it."
Master Liu rolled his eyes and said greedily, "Hehehe, so what? Whoever gets it belongs to him, and now it belongs to Master Liu." Then he turned his head and left, greeted those brothers, and said, "Let's go."
How could the peddler Qian Laoer let them go, he was holding on tightly and refused to let go, Liu Li was so annoyed by being entangled, he threw him on the ground, and kicked Qian Laoer hard again.
Zhao Jinyu couldn't bear to close her eyes and said, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor's face was livid, he patted Zhao Jinyu's arm comfortingly, strode over, and shouted, "Stop."
The emperor was dressed luxuriously, and he had an aura of calmness and self-importance. Standing in front of those people was like a towering mountain that they could not shake, and he could only look up and fear.
An Wenyao, who was dressed as a bodyguard, stood in front of the two of them, and several bodyguards also rushed over, immediately showing a murderous look, which made people tremble when they saw it.
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Although it is natural to owe money and pay off debts, you are clearly stealing money."
Liu Li was trembling with fright, screaming in his heart that it was terrible, the person in front of him was either rich or noble, and he couldn't afford to mess with him, but if he showed weakness at this time, how could he mess around in the future? Bite the bullet and said, "What's the matter, you still think that you are the emperor and I can't do anything?"
For the first time, Princess Zhaoyang felt that her father was so mighty, as if she was a big tree she could rely on with peace of mind, and she felt admiration from the bottom of her heart. After hearing this, she boldly said, "My father is really the emperor."
She suddenly felt a little proud that this very respected man was her father! He will also help her beat bad people... I don't want her to be sad.
Liu Li was startled at first, but soon he laughed hahaha, as if he had heard some big joke, and said, "The emperor is not staying in the palace, so can he come to this poor place?"
An Wenyao couldn't see it, so he kicked it, and Liu Li vomited blood immediately, "If you want to survive, just say a few words."
Princess Zhaoyang's courage suddenly grew, she broke free from Concubine Shu's arms, walked over to help Qian Er who fell on the ground, and said, "Uncle, my father is the current emperor, if you have any grievances, please tell my father." , he will make the decision for you."
Qian Er was so astonished that he almost couldn't catch his breath, and said tremblingly, "This is Your Majesty?"
"What did I lie to you for?"
Qian Er suddenly knelt down, kowtowed as if he didn't want money, and said, "Your Majesty, please make up your mind for the grassroots. I just borrowed twenty big money from him, but he took half the money at a high rate. Money, it’s not enough to keep pestering the grassroots all the time.” As he spoke, he began to cry, “Xiaomin’s family still has six children, and my mother needs to raise them, and I can’t live on any longer.”
Liu Li's face was pale, his entire back was sweating from the cold, and he seemed to have finally realized what he had just said.
The emperor's face became even more ugly. Who knew that there was such a bully at the foot of the emperor, and said, "Go and call Shuntian Fu Yin over here. I want to ask how he manages the capital."
When Liu Li heard the person in front of him calling Shuntian Fu Yin to come over, he was as casual as calling his own servant... Knowing that he really met the emperor, he was so frightened that he closed his eyes and passed out. The disciples were also so frightened that they panicked and kowtowed on the ground begging for mercy.
Waiting for An Wenyao to push those villains away, Zhao Jinyu came over with a pair of gloves, handed them to Princess Zhaoyang, pointed at Qian Er and said, "Go."
Princess Zhaoyang happily held the glove, handed it to Qian Er who had been kneeling, and said, "Uncle, these are my father's gloves. If you wear them from now on, no one will dare to bully you again."
Where did Qian Er dare to accept it? He shook his head repeatedly. Zhao Jinyu glanced at the gloomy emperor and said in a gentle voice, "Speaking of which, the old man is suffering here because of His Majesty's mismanagement. Otherwise, how could there be such a scoundrel under the emperor's feet? If you don't Shou is still resenting His Majesty."
"no… "
"Then keep it, and show it to anyone who bullies you in the future." Zhao Jinyu said empathetically.
Waiting for a few people to leave, Qian Er knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. A man who was nearly thirty years old was crying like a child. He hugged the pair of gloves tightly like rare treasures.
On the way, Zhao Jinyu saw that the emperor was depressed all the time, so she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty is angry with me?"
"What?"
"Because I said that His Majesty's governance was improper?" Zhao Jinyu was also self-aware, who would dare to say such a thing? That is to say, Zhao Jinyu dared to say..., but she still remembered the fearful eyes of several people beside him, including Ruifu, when she said this just now, as if she was afraid that the emperor would be angry, but what should I do? She relied on the fact that the emperor doted on her, and relied on the fact that the emperor had nothing to do with her. Besides, if she didn't say such things, who would say that? She didn't want to be a queen who blindly obeyed the emperor, and then let the emperor live in a falsehood that he couldn't recognize the reality, and besides... she never had that temper.
"You also know what you said is right?" the emperor said with a cold face.
Zhao Jinyu was not afraid, she smiled proudly, blinked her eyes and said, "I know, but I also know that His Majesty is reluctant to punish me. You said you would love me forever."
Seeing Zhao Jinyu's thick-skinned appearance, the emperor felt that he was cute and cute, and at the same time felt his heart was full of softness. He said angrily and amusedly, "I just spoiled you."
Zhao Jinyu smiled and leaned closer, holding the emperor's arm but never letting go.
"Actually, Your Majesty, you are an amazing person." Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but said, "Your words are harsh, how many emperors have been ruined here, besides, look at Wan'er..."
"What's wrong with Wan'er?" The emperor stopped before he finished speaking. Princess Zhaoyang, who had been resisting and escaping from him, was peeping at him from time to time. Seeing that her eyes were caught by her father, she didn't seem to like her. She avoided it as usual, but smiled shyly, her eyes full of admiration for him.
"How did she..."
"Because Princess Zhaoyang discovered that our Majesty is an upright man." Zhao Jinyu praised.
The emperor turned his face away uncomfortably, and after a while he whispered, "I haven't done well enough, otherwise I wouldn't let those common people..." The emperor recalled how Qian Er was bullied and cried bitterly.
He didn't have a home before, so he didn't know how a man felt when he carried his home, and he didn't want to care whether other people were happy or not, but now... the emperor's gaze stayed on Zhao Jinyu's beautiful face, and he looked back, holding hands with Concubine Shu and leaving... Princess Zhaoyang who left, he wanted to make them all live comfortably, and he wanted others to do the same.
"I will do better." The emperor held Zhao Jinyu's hand instead.
"En." Zhao Jinyu smiled sweetly at the emperor, against the lights on the road, there was a kind of dazzling beauty, which made the emperor's heart light up with the bright lights everywhere. .
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is not only a festival for watching lanterns, but also a day for eating Lantern Festival. A few people walked along the way and soon came to a place selling cooked food.
The owner who sold the Lantern Festival was a young man in his twenties. He breathed hot air and said, "Guests, would you like to eat our Lantern Festival? It is definitely the best Lantern Festival in Shili Street."
It was the first time for Princess Zhaoyang to see such a place, and she was very surprised. Seeing someone sitting next to her eating Yuanxiao, which was round and white, and the food was delicious, she couldn't help swallowing, and looked at Zhao Jinyu eagerly.
Princess Zhaoyang has learned to be smart now, no matter what, as long as Zhao Jinyu can agree..., the emperor and aunt will also agree.
Zhao Jinyu couldn't help laughing, touched Princess Zhaoyang's head, and said, "Want to eat?"
"Yes." Princess Zhaoyang nodded.
A few people sat down, and the stool had been wiped down by Ruifu and Nanny Li no less than ten times..., which made the boss feel depressed that the only bit of paint was about to be rubbed off, but what made the boss even more depressed was still to come, Those men who looked like bodyguards stared at him intently, from making yuanxiao to cooking in the pot, they stared at him intently, as if he was going to poison it.
Waiting to serve the Lantern Festival to the nobles, the boss's back was wet, not because he did anything bad, but because those people's eyes were too sharp.
But none of this made him feel uncomfortable, the main reason was that the beautiful lady who looked like a dough ball was a jaw-dropping chatterbox.
"Boss, why are your glutinous rice balls soft when they are cooked?" Nonsense, if they are not soft, they are not cooked!
"Boss, is this stuffed with sesame seeds? Why is there no stuffed leek and egg?" The egg stuffed with leek is dumplings!
"Boss, why are the Lantern Festivals round?" Yuanxiao is not round, is it still square
Zhao Jinyu hugged her stomach and laughed for a long time before rescuing the poor boss from Princess Zhaoyang. She nodded her brow and said, "Don't be naughty."
Princess Zhaoyang stuck out her tongue and finally stopped talking.
Although the Lantern Festival is not as delicate as that made in the palace, the glutinous rice is a bit thick, and the sesame filling is not delicate enough, but because it is eaten outside, it has a unique taste.
Whether it is the emperor or Zhao Jinyu..., several people including Concubine Shu ate up the Lantern Festival in the bowl.
After eating the Lantern Festival, a few people came to an alley along the Qingshui River. This side was different from the other side. It was full of patterned lanterns, as bright as daytime. Excitement is normal, Zhao Jinyu asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
A kind lady said with a smile, "Madam, this is a lantern festival organized by Li Dashan. As long as you guess the riddle on the lantern, you can take the lantern away. When you get out of this alley, who has the most lanterns?" There is also a special silver reward."
In fact, the lanterns here are as exquisite as those in the palace, but this method is very interesting. Princess Zhaoyang just wanted to try it after learning Chinese characters for a few days. Zhao Jinyu also thought it was quite fun, and suggested, "Let's go and have a look." Bar."
There were a lot of people who wanted to go in. After a few people lined up for a while, they finally walked in. Princess Zhaoyang liked lanterns made of small animals, while the emperor and Zhao Jinyu liked to guess lantern riddles. In this way, the two groups separated after a while, but because There were always hidden guards following them, and the alley was not long, so Zhao Jinyu and the emperor were not in a hurry.
Two people guess lantern riddles together, sometimes the emperor guessed it, and sometimes it was Zhao Jinyu... , at first they walked side by side, but later they turned into holding hands, the lights are bright, the night is intoxicating, the two of them just hope that this alley can keep walking Go down until the end of time.
Waiting for the two people to come out of the alley, they were stopped by someone. A young man in blue-gray shorts said with a smile, "This official, I see that you have quite a lot of lanterns. I'll check them out for you."
There are more than 30 pieces of pieces, big and small, not to mention the servants, even the onlookers were surprised, and said, "I see that this high-ranking official is the leader."
"Hey, this is your future uncle."
"This high-ranking official looks like a good-looking talent. Even if Pan An is alive, he is nothing more than that. Judging by his clothes and background, you are also lucky."
Zhao Jinyu was a little dumbfounded when she heard the words of others, and asked, "Didn't you say that the leader has a reward? What does it have to do with choosing a son-in-law?" Then he tugged on the emperor's arm and said anxiously, "Let's go."
The servant who received Zhao Jinyu and the emperor just now was a little unhappy, and said, "Young lady, your family officials entered this alley, guessed the lantern riddles and participated in our young lady's son-in-law lantern festival, and now you are the leader. You are about to marry our young lady, how can you deny it like this?"
Zhao Jinyu, "..."
At this moment, two maidservants in green grass and green trousers came out surrounded by a graceful woman. The woman was a little surprised when she saw the emperor, and then she bowed slightly with a look of amazement on her face. Said, "The little girl has seen this official and his wife."
Zhao Jinyu saw that the girl was generous, and she was not from a small family, so she said, "Girl, I have a little misunderstanding here, we just entered this alley for fun... besides, my husband-in-law was married before."
The woman smiled and said, "Ma'am, I, Li Shanrong, have sworn a long time ago that even if I am a beggar today, I am willing to marry as long as I win the leader. Besides, seeing that the high officials don't know ordinary people, I am also blessed. Madame does not dislike it, I am willing to commit myself to be a concubine."
Zhao Jinyu was dumbfounded.
Although I can't blame the emperor for this matter, I just felt a little jealous. I poked the emperor and said, "Sir, what do you think? The girl must marry you."
"Let's go." The emperor felt that his good mood was ruined, and he was about to leave with Zhao Jinyu. The woman looked graceful just now, but now she showed a somewhat ferocious expression. The servant surrounded Zhao Jinyu and the emperor, and said like a female bandit, "Today, no matter whether you are happy or not, you have to marry me, otherwise you don't want to leave."
Zhao Jinyu almost laughed angrily, thinking it was strange that an emperor was forced to marry a wife.
The emperor's brows were stern, with an aura of calmness and prestige, and the air suddenly condensed. He squinted at the woman and said, "You are worthy of being a concubine!"
The woman was humiliated on the spot, her face flushed, she clenched her fists and said, "Although our Li family is not a wealthy family, my father is also a fifth-rank official in the dynasty. It's always okay to be a concubine for a high official."
The emperor said, "Call your father over here, but I want to ask him personally whether you are worthy or not."
