Long live Emperor Wu!

Concubine Wei looked at Wu Rou with a helpless expression and said:

"You get up first."

Wu Rou felt a little uneasy, but she stood up as she was told and just looked at her.

Concubine Wei hugged her wide sleeves and said with some sincerity:

"I see that you are so impatient. It seems that His Majesty not only wants to depose the Queen, but also wants to make you the Queen, right?"

Wu Rou hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Concubine Wei said eagerly:

"Did you make this request? After all, for His Majesty, being able to stay with you is already a good result. Whether you are a queen or Zhaoyi, it makes no difference to him, so why take risks? Even though everyone in the world opposes you, why do you still want to make you the queen?"

Wu Rou's originally somewhat evasive expression gradually became firmer as Concubine Wei spoke. She raised her eyes, the sharp corners of her eyes became deeper, and the charm in the corners of her eyes was reduced. She did not hide her ambition at all, and said:

"Yes, when Your Majesty came to Ganye Temple to find me, this was the condition I made. If he doesn't agree, we will never meet again."

Concubine Wei frowned slightly and asked:

"Is being a queen so important to you? Now even if you are not a queen, you still get the respect you deserve. In two years, he can make you his concubine, but it will be the same.

If you really care about him, you should think about the Tang Dynasty for him and his difficulties. "

When Wu Rou heard this, she lowered her head and subconsciously paced around the room.

She was thinking about Concubine Wei's proposal seriously. If they followed the path of Concubine Wei and Concubine Yan De, their lives would not be bad.

However, all this is based on the fact that there was once a queen like the Changsun Queen. If she became a noble concubine, who would the queen be?

If this queen is the second queen, then if she gets old and loses her favor, won't she become the second concubine Zheng?

Thinking like this, Wu Rou asked:

"Of course there is a big difference. If I don't become the queen, who will the queen be? At that time, the concubine was willing to be a concubine for Emperor Taizong because she knew that there was a real wife like Empress Changsun.

But for me, the future queen is unknown, and I cannot put my own destiny on an unknown person.

Besides, His Majesty and I are in love with each other. He is willing to make me his queen, and I also have the opportunity to be the queen. Why should I give up? "

Concubine Wei wanted to speak, but Concubine Yan De interrupted her and said:

"Well said, every soldier wants to be a general, and every man wants to be an emperor. If you want to be a queen, just go for it. How many people in this world can be happy as a concubine?"

As she spoke, she gave Concubine Wei a meaningful look.

After Concubine Wei heard this, her breath was blocked, and she turned her face slightly to the side, with a slight anger on her graceful face.

Wu Rou felt embarrassed because she remembered that Li Shan was the one who didn't want to be the emperor, and Concubine Wei was the one who enjoyed being a concubine.

With these words, Concubine Yan De demoted two people and elevated her...

Um...it doesn't seem to be very convincing.

Concubine Wei glared at Concubine Yan De, and Concubine Yan De looked at her openly, as if competing, Concubine Wei said:

"My sister has long wanted to be a queen. I know this, but in the heart of the late emperor, he only had Changsun as his queen, and he was unwilling to make anyone else his queen.

You have been unhappy for so many years. Aren't you just like me and have had a great time being a concubine? "

Concubine Yan De was angry, and Wu Rou watched her squeeze her hands tightly, feeling that she was about to draw her sword, even though she didn't bring a sword.

The atmosphere in the palace was depressing.

Before Wu Rou could figure out how to resolve the deadlock, Concubine Yan De looked away first, relaxed her aura, and said:

"That's all...the two of you have already died together, and the two of us are still acting like fools. What's the point of fighting here?"

When these words came out of her mouth, she seemed cheerful and filled with endless regret and sadness.

Concubine Wei thought of the deceased and became sad.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly changed from tense to desolate and sad. After a while, Concubine Wei raised her eyebrows, swept away the depression in her heart, and said softly and slowly:

"I am advising you now because today's Tang Dynasty is also a result of our hard work. We have followed the late emperor and empress along the way. The hardships and twists and turns are still there yesterday. Therefore, we cannot bear to have any mistakes in the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

If it is for His Majesty's sake and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I don't want him to make you his queen. "

Wu Rou was a little excited:

"why?"

She always thought that Concubine Wei would support her, but unexpectedly, she was the one who opposed it.

Concubine Wei looked at her, looked directly into her eyes, and said:

"Because you are Emperor Taizong's concubine and your reputation is not clean."

"But the concubine just said..."

"In the court, reputation is more important than the truth. What is the truth? Not everyone can see it.

But reputation is something that is passed down by word of mouth. Everyone has a mouth, and everyone only believes what they want to believe and says what they want to say.

Spreading your identity everywhere and telling it to the world will only do harm to His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, but no good. "

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle and pleasant male voice came from outside:

"No, there are benefits."

The three people looked at the door, and a bright yellow figure turned in from the outside and stood in front of them.

It's Emperor Li Shan.

The two concubines stood up quickly and saluted together:

"I have met His Majesty."

Li Shan also behaved towards them as juniors and said warmly:

"Xiaojiu has met the two concubines. Are they in good health?"

The two concubines quickly lifted him up and said with a smile:

"It's okay."

"Thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, everything is fine."

The emperor sat on Wu Rou's seat and motioned for Wu Rou to sit with him.

Two people were sitting behind the same desk, one was elegant and handsome, the other was gentle and charming, quite like raising eyebrows at the desk.

Li Shan leaned forward slightly to show respect, and said sincerely to Concubine Wei:

"What the concubine said was already considered the moment I decided to take her into the palace. Now whether I can seal her or not, my reputation will be just like this, and there won't be much difference.

However, I want her to be my first wife. "

He lowered his eyes as he spoke, paused and then said:

"To put it bluntly, being an emperor is tiring and painful every day. I hope I can have a normal and harmonious family, otherwise I won't be able to carry on any longer."

Concubine Wei was in disbelief, frowned slightly, and persuaded:

"Your Majesty, why are you saying this so seriously?"

Li Shan smiled bitterly and said:

"I never thought it would be so serious. After all, my father and mother are very loving, and there are no examples around me where they are so difficult to get along with.

But the situation between me and the queen was so serious that as soon as I saw her, I felt that it would be difficult to have peace in my life... It was only after Wu Rou entered the palace that things got better.

If you had come to see me two years ago, I would have been bitter and resentful every day. "
