Chapter 237 A generation of evil concubines (11)

At this time, Emperor Ping's eyes fell on the maid who served him beside him, and after thinking about it, he added to the imperial decree that "the empress and concubine accompanying the palace servants choose to stay or not".

After drafting the imperial decree, Emperor Ping felt relieved, and involuntarily went to the Weirui Palace where Shi Yi was.

He didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he said in front of her that she would be the only one left after dismissing the three thousand beauties in the harem, but he paid attention to her expression, and there was no change, as if she had expected it.

Shi Yi was also surprised that Emperor Ping changed so quickly. In his previous life, he loved the original owner so much but he only treated the concubines in the harem as air and never made such a decision. But since Emperor Ping said it in front of her, the imperial edict It must have been written.She thought for a while and suggested: "Since the emperor has dismissed the harem beauties and their entourage, why not release all the older ladies in the palace to marry themselves?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Ping realized her true purpose like a revelation.

Since the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, a document has been established to limit the age at which court ladies can leave the palace to 25 years old, while folk women are mostly married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.Therefore, most of the 25-year-old court ladies who leave the palace face the ending of being unable to marry but dying alone.Most of the folks who had daughters who entered the palace as maids complained a lot because of this.

If the ladies of the right age can be released from the palace, it will definitely cause a much greater shock than the dismissal of the concubines and accompanying palace people.

He immediately drove back to his own Dayang Palace in a palanquin to draft an edict.

Sure enough, on the second day, as soon as Emperor Ping's imperial decree was promulgated, it caused a shock in the harem, the court and the people.

When everyone in the harem heard this decree, they all knelt on the ground and shouted "Emperor Shengming".The harem has a clear hierarchy, and there is a huge difference between those who are favored and those who are not.Although they came in with the idea of ​​living in the palace for the rest of their lives, but now that they had the opportunity to leave the palace, their passion for life outside the palace was immediately ignited.

The common people have suffered a lot for many years because of the royal selection of concubines and maids. Now it is a great blessing to be able to expect their own daughters back.Therefore, one after another praised Emperor Ping for his wisdom, and the folk poets praised Emperor Ping eloquently, as benevolent as Yao and Shun in ancient times.Even those ministers who had faintly stood in line with King Zhaoyang in the previous dynasty praised Emperor Ping's move of virtue in their hearts.It is of course much better for their daughters to go out of the palace and marry another than to be widowed in the harem.

In three days, it will be the day when Chaoyang Palace will marry the adoptive daughter. Although the old matriarch is in poor health, she still insists on going to the boudoir of the adoptive granddaughter Qin Shuangshuang to persuade her.

But when Qin Shuangshuang saw her entering the room, she immediately buried her head in the quilt, not wanting to see or listen to her.

"Except for Nanny Zhang, everyone should step back." The old lady sighed, and sat down beside her bed tremblingly supported by Nanny Zhang.

"Grandma came to see what I was doing. I am no longer your direct granddaughter. Your direct granddaughter is currently being favored by the emperor alone in the palace." Qin Shuangshuang's face was flushed red in the quilt.Although she didn't want to be a concubine in the palace, she didn't want her identity to be taken away either.

Nanny Zhang hated the miss, but the old lady didn't say a word, even if she was full of words, she couldn't say a word, so she could only stand aside depressed.

"Get up, cover yourself under the quilt, and be careful to suffocate yourself." The old lady went to uncover Qin Shuangshuang's quilt, but was pushed and shoved by Qin Shuangshuang through the quilt.She has strength in her hands, and she has given up her good intentions for her.

Her granddaughter, she and her old lady doted on her lawlessly.Can't listen to anyone's words.

Of course, she can understand.No family would be able to accept that their daughter, who had been raised by a noble family for seventeen or eight years, had her identity suddenly changed by the person closest to her.

But the most wronged is their Gao family.

"Old Majesty, may I ask what is the purpose of summoning Wei Zhao?" King Zhaoyang stood tall and tall, standing outside Qin Shuangshuang's boudoir, looking splendid.

"Weizhao, come in." The old lady said solemnly.

Since she was the one who spoiled her granddaughter into what she is now, she has to correct the spoiled granddaughter back.

"Brother Wei Zhao, why are you here?" Hearing that her sweetheart had arrived, Qin Shuangshuang immediately rolled out of the quilt, her eyes fixed on him, completely in the attitude of a little girl.

Adhering to the principle of no evil, King Zhaoyang greeted both of them with his head down, and did not raise his head to take another look.

The old matriarch was very satisfied with the grandson he had raised by himself, so he asked Nanny Zhang to fetch a stool for him, and clapped his hands for him to sit down next to him.

"There are some things I didn't want to say too clearly, but now I have to break them down and explain them clearly."

King Zhaoyang glanced at the old matriarch's face and used his hands to signal his sweetheart not to speak. Seeing that her sweetheart was here, Qin Shuangshuang gained confidence, but couldn't help but get angry.

"What happened to the old matriarch today, she remembered to come and talk to me."

The old matriarch ignored her and continued: "The two generations of the Gao family devoted themselves to the court and the people, and finally lost their lives on the battlefield. The old man lost his husband in middle age, and the old daughter-in-law lost her husband when she got married. The merits of the Gao family to the court, the old man’s dead husband and son were named kings with different surnames by the late emperor, and those of us who are alive can be given to live in the Chaoyang Palace by the late emperor. But if the old man’s husband and son can come back to life, the old man would rather not have such troublesome things merit."

The old matriarch's eye circles were already red, and Madam Zhang, who was waiting by her side, hurriedly handed over the handkerchief in her hand, but she pushed it away again.

The old matriarch looked at her grandson and said with compassion: "Your concubine mother, the youngest daughter of the old man is even more pitiful. She left at a young age, leaving you who were only ten years old to be tortured in the harem. The old man I really can't bear it, so I begged the late Emperor to let you live in the Chaoyang Palace, and because of this, you and Shuangshuang fell in love with each other for a long time."

"Weizhao will be grateful for the old lady's kindness for the rest of his life." King Zhaoyang hurriedly held her hand, expressing his filial piety as a junior.

The old lady looked at her "granddaughter" who had been raised by her for 18 years, and finally cried out, "Since your mother's Dongchuang incident happened, you have always complained about me being cruel, but if you know that I am really cruel, I will I have secretly poisoned her to death with decoction, so why bother to send her to Zhuangzi on the pretext of saving her husband. You are my granddaughter who was born with my own eyes and grew up little by little, regardless of blood relationship or not, I have only one granddaughter like you. You don’t understand my painstaking efforts. The Chaoyang Palace has no descendants, and it’s already at the end of the road. It doesn’t matter whether you are the official daughter of the Chaoyang Palace. The important thing is Does the husband you want to marry really only have you in his heart?"
