It was not until the evening that the imperial concubine came over and told Emperor Mingyuan about choosing a concubine.

Emperor Mingyuan lost his temper as soon as he heard this, "How long has it been since I chose nonsense? What should I choose?"

The imperial concubine said: "Is the emperor afraid that Concubine Hu will be angry?"

Emperor Mingyuan looked at her and frowned, "Do you think so?"

"If the emperor objected, it was not me who thought so, but everyone in the world thought so. Now the emperor favored Concubine Hu. Someone in the previous dynasty in the harem said that when Concubine Qin proposed, I specially sent someone to ask him about it. Only then did I know that Grand Tutor Wei and some old ministers had already submitted memorials to the emperor to choose a concubine, and the emperor kept suppressing this matter."

Emperor Mingyuan glanced at Madam Mu Ru in displeasure. Madam Mu Ru stood beside him, not daring to speak out.

"The imperial concubine is pregnant now, so she should rest in peace. There is no need to worry about it. I won't choose a concubine this year, so I'll talk about it in a few years."

Emperor Mingyuan said lightly.

The imperial concubine sighed, "Emperor, outsiders will say that the emperor is dedicated, but how will they say that Concubine Hu?

Where are you going to place Concubine Hu?”

Emperor Mingyuan said angrily: "This has nothing to do with her. You are not unaware of my personality. Before she entered the palace, I had already disagreed with continuing to choose a concubine."

The imperial concubine stared at him and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I have served you for many years, why don't you know?

Before Hu entered the palace, you were very nice to me. You used me as an excuse not to choose a concubine. Fortunately, I had nothing to come out so that I would not attract jealousy and resentment. But Hu was not. Hu had a son and is now pregnant. If the emperor really felt sorry for her, he shouldn’t have caused so many scoldings for her. This kind of suspicion would seem like the whole palace was full of enemies, which was not good."

When Emperor Mingyuan heard this, his brows frowned again and thought for a while, "Let's discuss this matter again, don't make a decision first."

"Then the emperor will go and talk to Concubine Hu first."

The Imperial Concubine said.

Emperor Mingyuan was seen through by her, and his face was a little unconscious, "I want to ask the Supreme Emperor!"

The imperial concubine laughed, "Okay, now the Supreme Emperor is helping you with your harem affairs, please go ask."

Emperor Mingyuan looked at the thorny smile of the imperial concubine, and after a while, he asked, "Where are you?

Have you ever minded that I only favored Concubine Hu?”

The imperial concubine was silent for a moment and said softly: "At the beginning, there were some, but I was just worried that the emperor would be confused. After being with Concubine Hu for a long time, I knew that she was not a charming person. She loved the emperor more deeply than anyone in our harem. She entered the palace for nothing else, just to love you. I can't do this. I am old and I want to be stable in my heart. My family is safe. This is enough. If I can't afford the rest, how can I hope the emperor will give it?"

The women in the harem all have the same thoughts and have different intentions to seek favor, not because they love the emperor so much, some for their parents' family, some for their throne, and some for their children, but in the end, it is not simple.

But this does not mean that what they did was wrong. They just couldn't do it like Hu Fei, just for love.

Of course, some extreme exceptions.

Emperor Mingyuan nodded and said, "I also know that you have been under a lot of pressure when choosing a concubine. If you are in charge of the Six Palaces, you will blame everything on your head."

The imperial concubine smiled, "I can't blame me for coming up, but I blame myself for coming up on Concubine Hu's head. Everyone thinks that if the emperor does not agree to the choice of concubine, it must be Hu's obstruction."

"I will consider it."

The Emperor's Way of Mingyuan.

The imperial concubine stood up and left.

Emperor Mingyuan leaned his body on the back of the chair and glanced at Madam Mu Ru lightly, "Did you talk too much in front of the imperial concubine?"

"Don't calm down!"

Madam Mu Ru immediately knelt down and apologized, "The slave is not willing to say it, but how wise the Empress is?

He walked the old slave in a few words."

Emperor Mingyuan snorted, "With your method, can the imperial concubine be your opponent?

It was clearly what you told her intentionally.”

Madam Mu Ru said awkwardly: "The emperor has praised the old slave, but... some ministers in the court do think that the emperor only favors Concubine Hu. Now the general is fighting outside again, for fear that the relatives of the outside world will grow stronger and threaten the prince..." He secretly glanced at Emperor Mingyuan, and saw that his eyes were cold, so he did not dare to continue talking.

Emperor Mingyuan was furious, "Those people are confused, are you confused too?"

The fifth brother never doubted this point. Can’t I tell who can sit in this world?

Lao Shi is just a little baby now, who can he threaten?"

Madam Mu Ru said boldly: "Emperor, the old ministers think that the tenth prince is young, but you are also young, so the old slave naturally dare not speculate randomly. But the adults have these concerns, for fear that it will affect the Empress Hu. Although they are divided into the previous dynasty and the harems of the front dynasty, how can they be clearly separated?

Aren't it all involved?

The storm started outside, and a big storm broke out in the palace, and the emperor thought twice.”

"I don't want to choose a concubine, it's not because of Concubine Hu!"

Emperor Mingyuan raised his hand in annoyance, "Forget it, I can't understand even if I tell you, I'll be able to set up the Qiankun Palace!"

Since he said he wanted to ask the Emperor, he had to ask, although it was ridiculous to ask the Emperor about this matter.

Sure enough, after hearing his question, the Supreme Emperor squinted his eyes, "Gu thought you were going to choose a concubine for Gu, otherwise, the matter in the harem would still be asking Gu?"

Emperor Mingyuan was amused and crying, "My son just came over to chat for a few words... Some ignorant people in the court believed that Concubine Hu and the Tenth Prince would threaten the position of the prince."

Emperor Mingyuan at least turned the topic to political affairs and slightly saved his attitude.

“Isn’t it normal to have this concern?”

The Supreme Emperor's eyes were cold and sharp, and he glanced at him, "The hearts of people are separated from their belly. Can you guarantee that they will not threaten the position of the prince in the future?"

"My son believes that Lao Shiduo will not..." "When Yuwen Jun was young, did you ever think that he would become such a person in the future?"

The Supreme Emperor asked.

"This..." Emperor Mingyuan's face changed slightly.

The Supreme Emperor threw a small piece of betel nut into his mouth, looked at him and asked, "Is it difficult for you to choose a concubine?

Will Concubine Hu be angry?"

Emperor Mingyuan immediately defended, "No, she would never dare to object."

"Then why don't you choose? It's necessary to make people guess?

There are some things that prevent Yu Weiran from getting rid of the sheep. If Concubine Hu feels wronged, then she shouldn't have recommended herself to the palace that day. She knows that the newcomers will not be cut off in the harem.

Moreover, as a mother, she should protect her children better than let her ministers mistakenly think that your favor can give the young master a chance to threaten the position of the prince in ten days."

Emperor Mingyuan felt a cold sweat on his forehead when he heard it, "The father is right."

Xiaoyao Duke listened next to him and said, "It's not reasonable. Just look at the facts and you will know that when the Supreme Emperor appointed the emperor as the crown prince, almost all the princes were granted the title of vassal kings, and the military power was cut off to allow them to be rich for the rest of their lives. Only Prince Rui was left to assist in the capital, and the rest could only be entered once a year. The entire process of the Supreme Emperor abdicating the throne was extremely rapid. Where did the storm happen?

The Supreme Emperor is the wise king of the world!”
