Chapter 388

After turning back the screen, the Empress Dowager said: "What does the Emperor think of Concubine Ling?"

The emperor said: "Ling the noble concubine is quiet and gentle, serving Lafayette wholeheartedly, she is a rare concubine in the palace who can't resist one side."

The Empress Dowager stroked the Buddhist beads in her hand, nodded and said: "I have been ill for the past few days, and the imperial concubine has been serving me, working hard without complaint. The empress is not as attentive as her. Since the emperor has such high expectations for her, why don't you promote her as an imperial concubine?" ..."

"Lafayette!" The emperor interrupted her, and said: "Although the concubine Ling is gentle and has a good relationship with Lafayette, it is really inappropriate to be named imperial concubine by Jin Dynasty. Besides, she is a Han Chinese, and she is a slave in Huangqi. Can you be the deputy queen? If Lafayette wants to praise her, I can give her gold and silver..."

The Empress Dowager looked at her brightly and said, "So what about the Han people? The emperor raised the flag for her, and she just needs to enter the Eight Banners. This is different from the past. It has been a hundred years since they entered the customs, and there has been no distinction between Manchu and Han people. What the emperor said was just an excuse. We Look, there is another reason for the emperor to prevent the imperial concubine from being promoted, right? For the empress?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Yes! If the imperial concubine is promoted to the imperial concubine, how does Lafayette want the empress to deal with it? Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, apart from posthumous conferring, it is conferring before the death of a serious illness. Relief. Now that the imperial concubine is free from illness and pain, and is in good health, how can she be ranked as the deputy empress and be on the same level as the empress."

The Empress Dowager said: "Empress Xiaoxian was also the imperial concubine during her lifetime, why can't the imperial concubine be allowed?"

The emperor said sternly: "The ancestors loved the empress, but I only have the empress in my heart."

The Empress Dowager's face turned angry, she stared at him intently, and said, "Speaking of which, the Emperor insisted on refusing?"

The emperor suddenly got up, knelt down in front of the queen mother, and said: "Please Lafayette think twice, I don't want the queen to suffer a little grievance, I beg Lafayette to fulfill my son's heart."

The queen mother smiled bitterly: "For decades, you have been extremely filial and never disobeyed my wishes. I never thought that today, for the sake of the queen, you would go against me. Do you still think I am your mother-in-law?"

The emperor lowered his head, and said: "The empress was once recommended by Lafayette to your son. I thought that Lafayette, like me, cherished the empress."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were dim, and she said: "One moment, then, these years have passed, has the Empress improved? She messes around all day long, how can she look like a mother who respects the world, so that the rising stars of the imperial concubine are more stable than her. Emperor, you are the leader of a country first. Jun, even if you are a husband, you must not disregard the inheritance of your ancestors for the sake of a woman."

The emperor clasped his knees tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "Lafayette, forgive my son for not obeying Yi's order."

After all, the emperor stood up and wanted to turn around and leave. Staying here would only increase the conflict.

Seeing that he was going to leave, the queen mother never thought that he would protect the queen so much. Wouldn't the previous plan be in vain, and now there is only one trick left.

After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager also stood up, her blood surged up, she became dizzy for a while, and shouted angrily: "Emperor!"

The emperor suddenly turned his head and saw the empress dowager's face was extremely ugly, he hurriedly supported her precarious body, and said in a panic, "Lafayette, what's wrong with you?"

The queen mother held his arm tightly and said, "Is the emperor trying to make me angry?"

"My son doesn't dare." The emperor helped her to sit down, and then shouted out: "Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan."

The Empress Dowager looked at him with deep eyes, and said: "Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. The emperor will not hesitate to violate filial piety for the empress. You go, you don't need to announce the imperial doctor, I am dead, and naturally no one will care about you...cough cough... "
