Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I don't want any concubine. I just want to stay with my wife. We have three sons and one daughter. I am very satisfied. Madam, you don't need to ask more about this matter. I will tell His Majesty that I will never accept a concubine again!"

"But Your Majesty has already brought someone here. If you refuse His Majesty, you may..."

"Ma'am, don't worry. Whether or not to take a concubine should be my own business. If I can't even decide on my own concubine, then this prince is not right!"

"My lord!" Concubine Di put her hand on De Fang's mouth, "The concubine's own fault has caused the current situation, how can the prince be allowed to contradict His Majesty for the sake of my concubine."

"Madam... I just want to be with Madam and the children. Madam would not even give up her life for me. How can I betray Madam? Seeing Madam sad, if His Majesty must ask me to take Napan Yuqiao as his concubine , I would rather abandon the throne and leave the capital with my wife and children!"

"My lord, no!" Concubine Di held Defang's hand, "You are the son of the great ancestor, and you have a heavy responsibility for your family and country. If you abandon the throne and leave the capital for the sake of your concubine, your concubine will be a sinner."

"This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Madam." Defang held Di Concubine's hand tightly, "If I become a commoner and penniless, Madam, would you like to leave the capital with me?"

"My lord...you...you won't..."

"Madam, no matter what, I will never allow Napan Yuqiao to enter the house. No matter how good she is, she can't compare to what you have done to me, Madam. Really, ma'am." Defang looked at Concubine Di, "If Your Majesty makes an order, I will be guilty of resisting the decree, and I may be dismissed as a prince at that time. If I really have nothing, will Madam still want to be with me?"

"My lord" Concubine Di also knelt down, "From the day I married my lord, my concubine has lived and died with my lord. No matter where the lord goes, I will always follow him, but... now my concubine let me The prince is in such a situation, the concubine is a big crime, a big crime...the concubine is not worthy of the prince's sacrifice..."

"Madam has sacrificed so much for me. What can I do to make up for Madam? I don't want any princes or important responsibilities. Madam, what I owe Madam, I will slowly make up for it in the future."

"My lord..." Concubine Di hugged Defang, "My concubine, please don't do this..."

"Madam...I still remember the vow I made with Madam back then, no matter when, where and what happens, we will never leave."

"The concubine remembers...but you, my lord..."

"Madam, don't say anything." Defang helped Concubine Di up. "Let's go back to the house first. Madam should have a good rest. Let me handle other matters."

"My lord..."

"Ma'am, just listen to me, okay?"

Concubine Di looked into De Fang's eyes, nodded after a long time, sighed softly and said, "No matter what the prince decides, the concubine will follow, but the concubine does not want the prince to be hurt by this, please think twice before making a decision."

"Ma'am, don't worry, I'll be fine. I still have to take care of my wife and children." Defang wiped away her tears and said, "Ke'er, quickly help Madam back to the dormitory to rest."

Ke'er, who had been crying already, wiped away her tears and ran over to support Concubine Di. Watching Concubine Di slowly walk out of the garden, Defang sighed deeply, and Baili asked with red eyes, "My lord, if your majesty is really happy?" Do you really want to resist the decree?"
