"I haven't seen my family for a long time. Aren't you busy today? I suddenly remembered that Ling Jing was not married yet, so I asked him to come into the palace to talk." Concubine Duan said lightly, "Who would have expected that Zuo Neither did I wait, nor did you wait. I thought he was being lazy, but after asking, I found out that I met Qinghuang on the way."

The emperor was puzzled: "What happened when I met Qinghuang?"

Concubine Duan was furious: "Ling Jing made her angry for some reason. Qinghuang actually ordered Ling Jing to kneel down on the palace road. It's simply outrageous."

The emperor was quite surprised after hearing this, and then he laughed: "It's normal for young people to have some friction. It's not like you don't know Qinghuang's temper. He has been like this since he was a child. The Ling family boy is a man anyway, with a thick skin. The meat is rough, and he will kneel down for a while, and a piece of his flesh will be indispensable. "

"The emperor is right." Concubine Duan sighed, "I don't feel sorry for Ling Jing, but I am worried that Qinghuang has just made great achievements and does not know how to restrain himself. If the truth is revealed, the officials in the court will inevitably be impeached. she."

"What is there to worry about? Qinghuang has not been impeached once or twice since he was a child. I have long been used to it." The emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Thinking of Qinghuang's recent affairs, his mood obviously improved. , "I think Qinghuang's temper has calmed down a lot recently. He handles things in a decent manner and is not as impulsive as before. This is a good thing."

After a pause, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't restrain myself anymore. If I am as timid and fearful as those princes, who can I expect to do my errands for me?"

Concubine Duan's expression paused slightly, her hand holding the veil tightened, and then she said with a smile: "She is a daughter's family after all, and she will get married sooner or later. Although it is her duty to share the emperor's worries, she has offended too many people. Which man will dare to marry her in the future?"

"Qinghuang doesn't rely on men to support her, so what's there to worry about?" The emperor was quite tolerant of this point. "At worst, I'll choose a few more beautiful servants for her to satisfy her preference for handsome men."

When Concubine Duan heard this, she almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.

Concubine Duan squeezed the handkerchief tightly and controlled herself not to lose her composure. She simply couldn't believe that these words came from the emperor's mouth.

A dignified princess of a country raised a male favorite in the palace openly, was deviant and shameless, and the emperor actually still supported her?

"Compared to Qinghuang, Tianyin is more irritating." The emperor put down the tea cup and couldn't help but feel a little gloomier. "The good Princess Jin was gone at the last word. I don't know how he managed the palace. ”

The Qi family was the emperor's daughter-in-law, and the fact that she had an affair with someone was really hard for him to talk about. What's more, what was more important now than the fact that there was no proof of death was how to explain it to the King of Zhenbei.

"If King Zhenbei asks about this matter, he will say that the princess died of illness, and he will not dare to challenge the emperor." Concubine Duan said lightly, "Besides, the Qi family was at fault first. Even if they really want to be investigated, a corrupt person If the charges against the reputation of the royal family are taken, King Zhenbei will have to plead guilty."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Duan hesitated for a moment and then spoke tentatively, "Qinghuang is my concubine's daughter. I still hope that she can be a well-behaved woman, marry well, and serve her parents-in-law—"

"With Qinghuang's temper, no one dares to let her serve." His Majesty the Emperor laughed, "Aren't you afraid that she will be whipped and her head will explode?"

Concubine Duan's smile narrowed slightly: "..." Can we still communicate normally?

"There is no need to worry about Qinghuang's marriage for the time being. She is only fifteen years old. I am still counting on her to clean up the court for me." The emperor had his own plan. "After the palace examination next year, I will pay attention to see if there is any Without suitable young talents, family background is not important. The most important thing is Tou Qinghuang’s temper.”

Since Qinghuang is to use her fists and kicks to clean up the court, she cannot be allowed to marry a child of a powerful family, otherwise it will only make the powerful family powerful.

Only when Chu Qinghuang worked alone did the emperor dare to delegate unlimited power to her. Once the royal family and the aristocratic family became related by marriage, he would have to worry about the exclusive power of his relatives. At that time, he would inevitably be tied up and hesitant to look forward and backward.

At least until his goal is achieved, Qinghuang will not be considered for marriage.

Concubine Duan just wanted to test the emperor's attitude today. After hearing this, she already knew something in her heart and secretly resented not marrying Chu Qinghuang to Ling Jing earlier.

We can only suspend our plans for now.

"Concubine Duan, you should have heard about that boy from the Feng family."

Concubine Duan was silent for a moment: "The emperor is talking about Feng Jinzhi?"

"Yes." The emperor smiled faintly, "Qinghuang is indeed a bit outrageous this time. He will divorce his husband as soon as he divorces his husband. How can he let the dignified Feng family's legitimate son kneel and kowtow to go back? After all, the prime minister is also a high-ranking official, that is, Qinghuang dares to lose the Feng family’s face like this.”

Concubine Duan nodded: "The legitimate son of the Feng family has suffered some grievances——"

"Tomorrow morning, I have to comfort him." The emperor sighed, relaxed his body and leaned on the soft couch, lazily closing his eyes, "Fortunately, Qinghuang's merits outweigh her faults, so I won't reprimand her. It’s okay to break off the relationship with Feng Jinzhi, Feng Jinzhi is not worthy of my daughter.”

Although he was reprimanding, there was no hint of anger in his tone. He even felt that Qinghuang did this very beautifully, and there was a faint feeling of pride.

Concubine Duan smiled considerately on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

It is a good thing for her that Chu Qinghuang can be reused by the emperor. At least it can help pave the way for Tianzheng, but if her beloved concubine can't even make the decision about her daughter's marriage, it will obviously not be a happy thing.

Concubine Duan remained silent and had to give up the idea of ​​discussing with the emperor about marrying Qing Huang to Ling Jing - it was useless to discuss with the emperor, and she couldn't come up with any satisfactory results. She had to think of other ways.
