concubines are respected

Chapter 138
It wasn't until the voices of Concubine Lan's mother and son faded away that the emperor raised his head and looked outside the hall.Just for a moment, he seemed to be a few years older, and there was a glint of turbidity in his eyes.

There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to speak at this time.The prince's rebellion is a royal scandal. At this time, as far as the emperor is concerned, it is wrong to persuade him, and it is wrong not to persuade him. He simply keeps silent to protect himself.

Suxian's thoughts were not here, although she was still sitting next to the queen mother, her eyes were fixed on her father.

What happened today was actually the result of the conspiracy of my uncle and cousin that day.First secretly report Concubine Lan's handwriting, and send a secret letter to Lan Ping's mansion.The letter was to the effect that the fifth prince fell out of favor and hoped to become the crown prince. He hoped that his brother would lead an army into the imperial city and force the palace before the Queen Mother's birthday.And the fifth prince will gather people and wait for the opportunity in the palace, so as to succeed in one fell swoop.

Lan Pinggui's temperament is well understood by An Nanhou and others. Although he is brave and intrepid, he has high hopes for the fifth prince to ascend the throne.

And the dancer who performed dance in the hall at first was just a jerk.It only needs the emperor to make a feint in front of him, and it will not hurt anyone. If there is trouble, he will look for opportunities to escape.

All the plans were originally flawless, but Suxian never expected that his father would be so brave, regardless of recovering from a serious illness, and fought hard against him, so that the 'assassin' had no choice but to injure his father in order to escape safely.

Looking at her father's face with no blood, Suxian didn't feel the joy of revenge.If her father made a mistake, wouldn't she regret it for the rest of her life? Thinking of this, Suxian couldn't help but whispered, "Father, are you okay..."

In the silent Longevity Hall, although Suxian's voice was soft, it was extremely clear.

At this time, the emperor finally collected his thoughts and looked at Lin Mocheng.Thinking of his son's rebellious act of murdering his father and rebelling against him, Lin Mocheng was extremely moved in his heart when he disregarded his own safety and escorted him at the critical moment.

"Lin Aiqing has meritorious service in escorting the driver. I specially named you Duke Protector, and you will not be replaced by hereditary." The emperor issued an order on the spot, and Suxian's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat. She never expected that her father won the official title by accident, and she couldn't help feeling mixed emotions Going forward, she knelt down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my father is still in a coma and has not been able to thank you. The daughter of the people will thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of my father. Long live my emperor!"

The emperor smiled and waved his hands, "Pingshen." Then he asked kindly, "I heard, Lin Suxian, you are the niece of General Dingguo - Zhang Enyuan?"

"The emperor is wise." Su Xianfu said personally.

"Just now the assassins made a surprise attack, and everyone was shocked, but I saw that you did not run away, but instead protected the Queen Mother behind you. It can be seen that like a father, like a daughter, not only the great general of Dingguo is full of loyalty, but the family of Huguogong is also loyal to the emperor. A model of patriotism. Lin Suxian, I want to reward you, if you want anything, just tell me." The emperor asked softly with a smile.

"Your Majesty..." Suxian's thoughts moved slightly, but a trace of shame filled her heart. Although today's incident was aimed at Concubine Lan's mother and son, it did not hurt the Emperor from the beginning to the end, but after all, it disturbed the Empress Dowager. Birthday, shocked Sheng Jia.If I ask for credit and reward at this time, wouldn't it be shameless, although others don't know, but the test in my heart is sad.

Suxian originally wanted to decline, but she glanced lightly and accidentally saw her aunt, Qiuqin, who was serving beside Concubine Rou and hadn't had time to recognize her.Immediately thinking about it, he immediately said respectfully to the emperor, "Going back to the emperor and protecting the queen mother is the responsibility of the daughters of the people. The daughters of the people do not ask for rewards, but only ask the emperor to return the freedom of the aunt who has been lost for many years, and allow her to be with Hui. The government recognizes the ancestors and returns to the clan."

What Suxian said surprised not only the emperor, but also his uncle Zhang Enyuan.Isn't Suxian's aunt the little sister Zhang Qiqin who has been separated for a long time and whose life or death is unknown?Could it be that Suxian has found her trace?
"Oh? Your aunt?" The emperor thought for a while and said, "I do remember that old General Zhang did have a son and two daughters at the knees. Since you speak like this, you must know the whereabouts of your aunt? Where is she? I will surely grant your wish."

"Your majesty, the daughters of the people know." Suxian heard the words, her face beamed with joy, and she strode up to Concubine Rou. Qiuqin said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, she is Minnv's aunt Zhang Qiqin. She changed her name to Qiuqin because of a family rebellion, and then by chance, she was taken in by Concubine Rou and served in the palace. Minnv also met with her recently. Recognized."

Qiuqin prostrated generously and decently, and said to the emperor, "My servant Zhang Qiqin pays homage to the emperor. These years, my servant and maidservant have kept their names incognito, which is really a helpless act. I hope the emperor will forgive me." Saying this, she turned and kowtowed again to Concubine Rou He kowtowed, "The servant girl begged the mother to forgive her sin, the servant girl did not intend to deceive the mother servant, the servant girl just wanted to save her humble life."

Concubine Rou was surprised, and quickly said, "Forget it, don't knock any more. You have served me with great dedication these years. Since your family begged the emperor to grant you freedom today, I will do so."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Rou said with some reluctance, "Qiuqin, you are not young anymore. I originally planned to show you a good marriage in the next year and let you go out of the palace. Now the emperor will do it for you." Lord, I am relieved."

Indeed, according to the palace rules, a maidservant must have a reputation when she leaves the palace, and it is impossible to let her out of the palace without a reason.

Although Qiuqin is 23, she has not yet reached the age of 25 to leave the palace.If it is just because of Suxian's words, let her out of the palace casually, even if the emperor speaks, it is against the palace rules.Therefore, what Concubine Rou means is that if Qiuqin is referred to a marriage, she can be justifiably released from the palace.

In this way, after Qiuqin left the palace, she had a perfect home.

The emperor also understood the meaning of Concubine Rou, and immediately laughed loudly, "Unexpectedly, today I became a moon old man. It's so good, I will choose a marriage for you."

After all, but where to choose a good marriage in such a hurry, the emperor's eyes swept across the hall, but he secretly calculated in his heart.

Qiuqin was 23 to 15 years old, and women in the Da'an Dynasty usually got engaged when they were [-] years old and 笄.Men who get married later, also set up their marriage at the age of seventeen or eighteen.If you choose to marry someone who is similar to your age, you cannot become the main wife.

But now Qiuqin's status is no longer a slave, but the sister of the great general of Dingguo, how can she be a concubine, after thinking about it, the emperor is a little undecided.

At this moment, Lin Mocheng, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up slowly after the imperial doctor administered the needles on the spot. He thought dimly that he had forgotten where he was, and took a long breath, "Woo, I Where is this..."

The emperor heard the reputation, looked at Lin Mocheng's handsome face, and immediately had an idea...
