Hearing that, Shen Lingjue stiffened, and held her hand: "You …."
Feng Ningyan gave him a gentle smile, turned around and looked at the empress dowager, and said, "It's just that, my father dotes on this cousin of his, making her happy since she was young. He treated her better than his own daughter. As an elder sister, if I take my cousin in as your imperial concubine in order to avoid trouble, how can I explain this to my father? How can I explain this to my aunt and uncle who died? "
When the empress dowager heard this, she nodded her head repeatedly. "phoenix lass has taken this into consideration. With such a talent like him, there should be a good marriage going on."
When Hua Ruoyu heard Feng Ningyan's words, it was clear that it was in order to reject her as her side wife. Finally, she could no longer hold it in, walked to the front of the stage and knelt down.
"If I can help His Highness King Yu and my cousin share of their worries, it would also be considered as repaying Uncle for raising them and Ruo Yu would not feel wronged at all."
The Empress laughed: "Such a filial and doting child. If you can stay by King Yu's side, then I will be relieved. Your Majesty, what do you think of this matter? "
The emperor turned the thumb ring in his hand and looked at Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan who were kneeling side by side, and then his gaze landed on Hua Ruoyu.
"Flowers, I ask you, do you think the Feng family has the qualifications to be the principal wife of the King Yu?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Shen Lingjue tightened her grip on Feng Ningyan's hand.
Feng Ningyan's heart also tensed up. She didn't know the meaning behind the Emperor's words, but would she have the heart to cripple her title of an imperial concubine?
Hua Ruoyu lowered her head. She didn't know why the emperor would ask such a sharp question.
"Reporting to your majesty, although Yuwangfei is temporarily lacking, she is extremely intelligent and knows how to learn everything. maidservant will often accompany her and urge her to learn virtuous books, study zither, chess and painting, and listen to the Empress's teachings."
The Emperor nodded. "So you think that the Feng family is not qualified to be a first wife, or at least inferior to you?"
Hearing that, Hua Ruoyu was startled, she anxiously kowtowed: "maidservant does not mean that …."
The Emperor continued, "Your cousin has only been married for five days, and the love and affection between her and the King Yu are inseparable. If you marry into the Duke Palace, you probably have to stay in your room all night, are you willing?"
Hua Ruoyu nervously looked at the Queen, but the Queen turned pale and turned her face away.
Hua Ruoyu could only whisper, "maidservant … "I was willing."
When the empress dowager heard Hua Ruoyu's reply, she could not help but frown. "Flowers, you have been living extravagantly in the General's Estate since young, enjoying all sorts of wealth. It was obtained by the father and daughter pair of Feng Wei and his daughter sleeping outside while fighting bravely against the enemy. Have you ever thought about whether your cousin would be happy or sad if she shared a Spring Festival Gala with you? "
Her Majesty's words startled everyone.
Especially the concubine, all of them had personally experienced how lonely and sorrowful it was to be alone in the air.
The legend of Queen E was just the result of a woman humbling herself, choosing to endure and give in. No one would happily guard an empty pillow and let their husband and other women be together.
Feng Ningyan was extremely surprised. She had thought that she was weak, but she did not expect the emperor and empress dowager to not praise Hua Ruoyu as the secondary wife of the King Yu.
The Emperor who hated her deeply had actually turned around to help her. With just a few simple sentences, he had exposed Hua Ruoyu's wolfish ambition.
Furthermore, the Empress Dowager's reprimand had even questioned Hua Ruoyu's character, and exposed her act of returning kindness with hatred.
Feng Ningyan happily looked at Shen Lingjue, and saw that he had relaxed a lot. It was just that the blood stains and bruises on his forehead made her heart ache …
Hua Ruoyu panicked, she only felt that the empress dowager had ripped off a layer of her skin, exposing her sinister heart to the crowd.
Especially Shen Lingjue, if he also thought that Hua Ruoyu was repayment for his kindness, then how would she continue to stay by his side, obtain him, and even more so help Shen Youhuang to complete that important mission?
Her tears immediately welled up and she knelt down, covering her face as she said, "Many thanks to the empress dowager for waking maidservant up with a single word … "maidservant only wants to repay Cousin Sister-in-Law, even if it's as a slave or as a concubine, she doesn't feel wronged. Only now do I know that I have become a big fan of others, and have almost become a sinner who broke the relationship between Cousin Sister-in-Law and my His Highness King Yu."
She pulled on Feng Ningyan's arm in grief and begged, "Ruo Yu is stupid, and accidentally hurt my cousin's heart. I have also failed to live up to Uncle's love, I beg my cousin to forgive Ruo Yu's childishness … …"
Feng Ningyan looked at Hua Ruoyu's clown like character coldly, smiled lightly and patted Hua Ruoyu's hands.
"Cousin, you absolutely cannot blame yourself like this. Good karma is hard to find, but I believe that you will eventually find a good pair that belongs to you."
As he said that, he bent down and helped Hua Ruoyu up, and leaned over to whisper into her ear. "Cousin sister, you've worked hard every single time, but you've all failed. After all, there will be more of you crying in the future. "
Hua Ruoyu clenched her teeth, but did not dare to reveal the slightest bit of hatred, and laughed while holding back her tears: "Thank you, cousin, for your magnanimity."
The empress had spent a lot of time and effort to design it, it had all been for naught. Fortunately, Hua Ruoyu was clever enough to finish this scene and not ruin her image.
It was true that there would be plenty of opportunities to live, and he was not afraid of nothing.
As long as Hua Ruoyu was still in Prince Yu's Mansion and did not openly tear off her face, she would still have a chance to turn the tables.
The crisis of the "side concubine" had finally been quietly resolved.
Feng Ningyan helped Shen Lingjue to sit back down on her seat, and carefully wiped the wounds on her forehead and applied the royal medicine.
"Why did you hit him so heavily? What if he's stupid?" She glared at Shen Lingjue angrily as she complained in a low voice.
Shen Lingjue held her ice-cold hand and said gently: "If my attitude isn't firm, then it doesn't matter what happens; Royal Father will definitely not stand up for us. Without these injuries, how could the empress dowager feel any heartache? "
Feng Ningyan recalled what he had just said and her nose still felt a little sore.
"Killing eight hundred enemies and self-inflicted one thousand losses, what kind of victory is this? He even has the face to be proud."
Shen Lingjue laughed: "As long as you are not wronged, then it's worth it."
The empress dowager looked at Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan, and upon seeing them falling in love with each other, she held her hands up and muttered to herself. She then nodded her head in satisfaction.
After saying that, she waved at Feng Ningyan, "phoenix lass, come over."
Feng Ningyan quickly got up and walked over to the empress dowager's side. She knelt down on one knee next to her and said with a smile, "Sun's daughter-in-law thanks empress dowager for this favor."
The empress dowager chuckled, "Wailing Home doesn't reward you with anything, so you're just thanking him?"
Feng Ningyan's face reddened as she lightly tapped the empress dowager's leg, "phoenix lass knows that she cannot please royal father. If it wasn't for the empress dowager summoning me today, I don't know when royal father would have accepted my new wife's tea cup. Just a moment ago, the empress dowager rejected the empress's arrangements for us. If phoenix lass still doesn't know about this favor, then it's just a waste of time to blind the empress dowager's love. "
The empress dowager smiled and nodded, then patted Feng Ningyan's shoulders and said, "Mn, since you understand, Wailing Home won't deny it either. Wailing Home likes you a lot, firstly, because you have been guarding the borders for my Great Yue State at such a young age, and secondly, because you called me a grandson who doesn't know the meaning of a man's and a woman's relationship, and kept away from women, finally enlightened. "As for the third choice …"
