He probably forgot that he had said before that he only favored her.
Although she didn't really care whether he really only favored her, it seemed unbearable that he said such things but failed to do so.
Why bother
Bian Cheng didn't know that it was these details that made Liu Meiren unable to fall in love with him no matter what.
After they finished talking alone, the Queen Mother went to the Emperor and said:
"The position of queen is vacant. The Ai family has seen that Concubine Dong is gentle and virtuous. She has given birth to the eldest prince and has been in charge of the harem for many days. There is nothing wrong with her. Her family style and character make her an excellent candidate for the queen."
Bian Cheng became impatient when he heard this: "Mother, you spend all your time standing up for your queen. Is the position of queen so important?"
"What do you think? Doesn't the Emperor understand in his heart?" The Queen Mother stared at him helplessly.
Bian Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I believe that the position of queen should be given to the woman I love most."
"Then who is the emperor's favorite person?" the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.
Bian Cheng blurted out: "Of course it's Liu Bin. Only when I met her did I know what it's like to love someone."
"Your Majesty is confused. Concubine Liu was born in a lowly position. How can she become a queen? What will the world think?" The Queen Mother was shocked. She did not expect Bian Cheng to have such an idea.
In fact, Bian Cheng had not seriously considered making Liu Meiren the queen before. It was the Queen Mother who brought up old matters again that made his idea clear.
He even took advantage of the situation to confirm his thoughts and said: "Why should we look at family background? My world is stable, and the queen's background is not important."
"Moreover, isn't Concubine Liu virtuous? Her character and appearance are very suitable, and she is an excellent candidate for the mother-in-law."
The Queen Mother was so angry at the emperor's remarks that she angrily denied it: "The Ai family won't allow it. If the Ai family is here, the emperor will never be able to accomplish this!"
"Let's not discuss the queen's matter for now." Bian Cheng didn't want to continue talking about it.
He knew that even if he wanted his beauty to become a queen, there was still a long way to go. She was still a concubine, so she could not directly become a queen.
Lifting her up slowly is what needs to be done.
It was just that the emperor told the Queen Mother such words, which aroused the Queen Mother's anxiety. She was afraid that the Emperor really wanted Liu Meiren to become the queen, so she had an obsession to arrange a queen before Liu Meiren became the queen.
As long as someone occupies the position of queen, what else can the emperor do
So after the emperor went to court, he heard the voice of the whole court, asking him to establish a queen. The choice was naturally Dong Guifei. As the only concubine with children, no one was more qualified than her.
This made Bian Cheng feel very irritable.
However, these ministers and even the Queen Mother in the harem were reluctant to let go of this matter, and they often brought it up. Even the people began to recite Concubine Dong's deeds.
There are also ballads praising her.
He said he hoped she would become the mother of the country.
This can be said to be what everyone expected.
The reason why people are clamoring for this is because the Dong family gave a push in this matter and helped the poor in the name of Concubine Dong Guifei in the palace, which earned her a good reputation.
Bian Cheng was finally forced to endure it no more. When he went to the morning court, he cursed angrily at everyone:
"You are all a mediocre person who just keeps an eye on my harem all day long. When I ask you to do things, you can't do anything well."
"What do I need from you? Is it just so that you can force me to establish a queen that I don't like?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me..." Everyone knelt down, but many people continued to persuade the Emperor.
Various reasons were laid out again, and Liu Meiren was even mentioned, saying that she was a charlatan and not a good person. She was almost said to be a witch who had come to harm the country.
When Liu Meiren was involved, the emperor became even more angry. Just as he was about to curse angrily, a eunuch ran in from outside. His face was red from holding back, and he seemed to be too excited.
"Your Majesty... Congratulations to Your Majesty, auspiciousness from heaven!" he shouted.
Bian Cheng was furious now, but someone came in and said such confusing words to him, and he lost his temper:
"roll!"
"Your Majesty, there are red birds outside, flying in the sky!" Facing the furious Emperor, the eunuch still risked his life and said.
Bian Cheng was stunned for a moment, then calmed down a little and asked, "Zhu Bird?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please go and have a look." The eunuch's voice was trembling. If he was a step too late, the red bird would fly away and the Emperor would not be able to see him, and he would definitely be angry with him.
Bian Cheng hesitated for a moment and found it unbelievable. This thing sounded so fantasy, and he said: "If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"
"Your Majesty, please spare your life. This slave must never dare to deceive the Emperor!" said the eunuch.
After he finished speaking, Bian Cheng stood up and hurriedly walked outside. The other ministers looked at each other, and finally stood up and followed him out.
Bian Cheng walked outside the main hall and looked up at the sky. There was indeed a huge, red bird hovering in the sky. At this moment, the sun was rising, and the sunlight gave the red bird a layer of gold.
It looks brilliant and dazzling, with its head raised high and never looking down at anyone, forming a beautiful and shocking picture in the sky.
"Your Majesty... this is a red bird. It can also be called a red bird. There are even records saying that it can also be called a phoenix or a black bird." An old minister saw the red bird hovering in the sky and fainted after saying this excitedly. .
Bian Cheng stared at Zhu Niao, and someone said next to him:
"This is an auspicious thing!" someone shouted, their faces turned red from suppressing their emotions, and they were even less calm than the eunuch just now.
They had never seen the Phoenix or the Suzaku, but they just relied on the shapes in the records to identify them.
Bian Cheng's blood boiled all over his body. This was a fantastic sight that he had never seen in his life. The red bird was soaring noble and proud in the sky. He would never regret seeing it once!
In a daze, he saw the red bird glance at him, and couldn't help but think in his heart that he was the lord of the world, and even that noble bird would look at him with suspicion. So he said loudly: "Such auspiciousness has come to my court and will bless me, Da Bian!"
"Yes, my lord is wise, so that this auspiciousness comes. God bless Da Bian, God bless Da Bian!" Some ministers echoed.
The other ministers also knelt down and shouted: "God bless Da Bian! God bless Da Bian!"
Just as they were shouting impassionedly, suddenly the red bird did not continue to hover in the sky, but flew away towards a place.
Someone shouted eagerly: "It flew away, flew away!"
"Catch up, I want to see where it goes!" Bian Cheng did not hesitate at all and took the lead. Seeing the red bird flying towards the harem, he followed directly, but the harem was a forbidden area, but Bian Cheng Cheng Na still cared about this at this time, turned around and said:
"Follow me."
This made everyone no longer care about it.
