After hearing what the father-in-law said, Meng Li glanced at the emperor with his spiritual power. He was not busy with anything, just sitting there reading a book.
That is to tell her father-in-law in advance that she will not see her.
She lamented:
"Father, I really have something important to do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to come here like this. Please go and report it now."
"Your Majesty, please stop making things difficult for us slaves." The father-in-law sighed.
Meng Li: "My father-in-law told the emperor that I came to plead guilty to him, and he will definitely meet with me."
The father-in-law was also troubled by Meng Li and had no choice but to believe Meng Li's words, but finally went in to tell the emperor.
Emperor Bian Cheng heard this and asked expressionlessly:
"Can she tell you what she's guilty of?"
"No, the imperial concubine didn't say anything," the father-in-law responded.
Bian Cheng groaned, wondering if the other party wanted to admit that she secretly changed the medicine to avoid having the child
Out of curiosity, Bian Cheng said to his father-in-law: "Then let her come in."
"yes."
After Meng Li entered, Bian Cheng sat high up and looked at her indifferently. Meng Li saluted and he didn't say anything about getting up, but Meng Li got up on his own, which made Bian Cheng look surprised.
"Did I ask you to get up?" he asked.
Meng Li raised her eyes and glanced at Bian Cheng. His appearance and temperament were not bad, but his face was full of indifference. She felt that the emperor Bian Cheng was also quite ridiculous.
He was so harsh on the concubine who accidentally gave birth to his child.
"Your Majesty, I forgive my concubine for being weak." Meng Li said calmly.
But when she said this, Bian Cheng retorted: "Since you are so weak, there is no need to rush to show off in front of me. For you, holy favor is so important, is it worth all the means?"
Meng Li: "..."
So narcissistic and mean.
"I'm here to plead guilty." Meng Li said calmly.
"Then what crime do you think you are guilty of?" Bian Cheng raised his chin so that he could look at Meng Li calmly.
Meng Li said: "My only crime is that I should not have given birth to a prince."
"Oh?" Bian Cheng said in a long tone.
"how do I say this?"
Meng Li: "Because the emperor does not like the children I gave birth to, I am guilty."
"That's it?" Bian Cheng glanced at Meng Li suspiciously. He was thinking, does the other party really not know about Bizitang
No, there were so many concubines in the harem, everyone drank, but she was the only one who had a child.
Meng Li said expressionlessly: "Otherwise, I can't think of anything else wrong with me that could make the emperor treat me so coldly. Ever since I got pregnant, I haven't favored me for a day. After giving birth, the emperor intensified and refused to let me go." When others come to see me, the Emperor has never been here and treats my concubines as enemies."
"Actually, my concubine's apology is false now. I really want to ask the emperor, what did I do wrong?" Meng Li stared at Bian Cheng.
"Wrong? You were wrong because you shouldn't have used tricks to have children to win favor!" Bian Cheng snorted.
He actually dared to question him in such a tone, which made Bian Cheng extremely displeased.
Meng Li asked indifferently: "Method?"
"Excuse me, my concubine, but your majesty's words are really ridiculous. Without the emperor's cooperation, how could the child be born by me alone?"
"Presumptuous!" Bian Cheng slapped the table, stood up, and rushed towards Meng Li with all his momentum. Meng Li also raised his head and looked at him levelly without fear. Bian Cheng said angrily:
"Dong Guifei, now that you have given birth to a child on your own, you dare to say anything treasonous and treasonous. It seems that I should punish you severely and weaken your prestige!"
Meng Li seemed to have heard a big joke and returned his cold gaze and said:
"The Empress Dowager said that my concubine is also considered a great meritorious official. Even though she is a meritorious official, she still has to be treated like this. The emperor is so cruel and cruel to the concubines in the harem. She has clearly made meritorious service but still has to be punished. When this matter spreads out, people in the court Who among the generals is willing to fight bloody battles for the Emperor, and who among the civil servants is willing to devote all their energy to planning for the Emperor?"
"Does the Emperor really want to chill the people of the world?"
"Today, no matter who it is, I am a person who has made meritorious service and is definitely not a person who is at fault, so why should I be punished? If Your Majesty insists on saying that I am wrong, then what is wrong with me? How can I do it? inform?"
Can others know that the emperor used Bizi Tang for each of his concubines
Putting aside everything else, the Emperor didn't want children, so the Queen Mother would be the first to cry.
Even the royal family members can disturb the emperor's peace.
Although his attitude is relatively tough now, he still has to plan well in the palace. After all, although the client's natal family is okay, it is not yet able to influence the emperor or the court. None of the concubines has a family background that can make the emperor fearful. No, this is also the reason why the emperor does whatever he wants in the harem. His political power is relatively stable. The foundation left by the previous emperor is too good to allow his ministers to overshadow the emperor.
It's just that there are several people in the client's family who can be regarded as rising stars. The family has prospects and others are optimistic about it. In addition, they had some feelings for the emperor in the past, so they have the title of noble concubine.
At that time, no one asked the emperor every day to make her his queen, so the emperor was naturally not bothered. It was because others mentioned it too many times, and he also disliked the person who asked her.
Meng Li thought about it again and again, and then added: "I did nothing wrong. Your Majesty cannot punish me. You should also give me the rewards I deserve. The eldest prince was born with my life. This is my concubine." I have the capital to stand here and talk!"
"Presumptuous, you are too presumptuous. Do you think you can challenge me just because you have given birth to a child? Don't even think about it!" Bian Cheng was so angry at Meng Li's words that the veins on his forehead bulged. He directly picked up the book on the desk and pointed at me. Meng Li smashed it over.
Meng Li avoided it and the book fell on the ground. She glanced at it lightly and asked, "I am not wrong."
"You disobey me and make me angry, which is already a crime worthy of death!" Bian Cheng gritted his teeth.
He was so angry, but Meng Li looked very calm. She said, "Then please ask the emperor to give me a death concubine, just in this name."
"Concubine Dong, you are really not afraid of anything with your title of concubine. Can your title of concubine be greater than my dragon robe? From today on, you are no longer a concubine and have been demoted to concubine Dong. In the forbidden palace, you are not allowed to take a step forward without my permission, let alone see the eldest prince."
"This must be more uncomfortable than killing you, right?" After Bian Cheng said this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he added: "You brought it all on yourself."
"Has your majesty said enough?" Meng Li stared at him with a cold look and no other expression, which made Bian Cheng look strange.
In his budget, the other party should be very sad, or panicked, or uneasy, or begging...
"The emperor thought this was a way to punish me and take revenge on me. He also said that I asked for it. But I know that even if it weren't for today, the emperor would still demote me."
