The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Chapter 48 Prince Dun's Provocation

"Whether he is a prince or a princess, this child is our treasure!" I said sincerely.

"That's great, of course. This child has your love and care, and as a mother, I can worry less. Now I'm looking forward to the child being born soon."

"My lady, Xiao Yunzi just came over to tell me that the emperor wants you to come over!" Jinxi whispered to her sister.

"Xiao Yunzi, can you tell me what's going on?"

"He didn't say what it was, but the emperor was very angry. Even Su Peisheng was at a loss, so he quickly came to ask the young lady to go and persuade the emperor."

"Then sister, you should go there as soon as possible and be careful."

After hearing this, my heart tightened and I quickly asked, "What happened? Why is the emperor so angry?"

Jin Xi shook her head and replied, "I don't know exactly what happened, but judging from the Emperor's expression, he seems to be truly furious. Even Eunuch Su was at a loss, so he hurriedly asked me to ask the young lady to come over and see if she could persuade the Emperor."

Her sister frowned, pondering what might have happened. She knew the Emperor was always calm and composed, and wouldn't get angry easily. Now that he was so angry, it must be because something important had touched his bottom line. Thinking of this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

My sister said to me and Mei sister: "Don't worry, I will go and take a look right away."

"Then sister, please be careful and handle everything with caution." I was also a little worried.

"Well, I see!"

My sister took Jinxi to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor.

Xiao Xiazi was standing outside the door waiting, and Su Peisheng was serving inside.

"What's wrong with the emperor? Why is he so angry?" Jin Xi asked Xiao Xia Zi.

"My dear, you are finally here. The Emperor is furious. Even Master doesn't dare to persuade him. We are all waiting outside."

Xiao Xiazi stood outside the door anxiously, looking into the house from time to time, while Su Peisheng served carefully inside.

"What's wrong with the emperor? Why is he so angry?" Jin Xi walked over quickly and asked Xiao Xia Zi.

"My lady, you are finally here. The emperor is furious. Even the master doesn't dare to persuade him. We are all waiting outside!" Xiao Xiazi said in a low voice.

Jin Xi frowned: "What happened?"

Xiao Xiazi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I only know that the Emperor seems to be angry about Prince Dun's request for a title."

My sister's heart tightened. Could it be that Prince Dun was in trouble again?

She took a deep breath and said to Xiao Xiazi, "I'll go in and take a look."

Xiao Xiazi nodded and helped her sister open the door.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere. The emperor sat at his desk, his face grim and frightening. Su Peisheng stood aside, silent and trembling.

My sister stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness."

The emperor looked up at her and said nothing.

My elder sister spoke cautiously again: "Your Majesty, are you worried about something? If you don't mind, you can tell me about it."

The emperor slammed the table heavily and said angrily, "Such a thing has happened in my harem. I am so disappointed!"

I was shocked, it seemed that it really was related to my sister.

The elder sister quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? The evidence is irrefutable, how could there be any misunderstanding?" The Emperor interrupted his sister.

"I will never tolerate this kind of thing happening again!" The emperor seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Prince Dun has written to me, requesting that his birth mother, Consort Wenxi, be granted the title of Noble Consort Dowager. I didn't bother with him about Zhang Lin's incident last time, yet it hasn't been that long, and he's making this request again."

"Your Majesty, a real man must be able to bend and stretch himself, and only then can he seek eternal power for the government." The elder sister carefully advised the emperor.

Prince Dun had just submitted a petition requesting that his biological mother be conferred a title when Nian Gengyao subsequently submitted a memorial mentioning the matter.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao have been communicating privately, which is why they were able to exchange information in such a short time."

"It's more than just contact. I think they have been colluding with each other for a long time. I can't tolerate it anymore."

"Then what does the Emperor plan to do?"

"This matter still needs to be planned secretly and cannot be rushed. But what about Prince Dun's request for a title? Huanhuan, please help me think about it!" The emperor was already overwhelmed by this matter.

"I believe that since Prince Dun requested that his birth mother be given a title, the Emperor should grant his request. At the same time, he should confer titles on all the concubines in the palace and give them honorific titles, especially making Concubine Shouqi the head of all the concubines, and even giving the title of Empress Dowager."

The elder sister looked at the emperor. She knew very well that the emperor was dissatisfied with Prince Dun, but she also understood that she could not directly reject Prince Dun's request at this time.

So she proposed a method that would both satisfy Prince Dun's requirements and satisfy the Emperor.

"That's right, let's do it. Since he wants me to posthumously confer a title on his biological mother, then I will confer titles on all the concubines in the palace."

"This way, we can show the Emperor's magnanimity and tolerance, and secondly, avoid a direct conflict with Prince Dun."

However, Su Peisheng on the side said with some concern: "Your Majesty, it's just that Concubine Shu has now become a nun and no longer cares about the secular world. What should we do?"

This is indeed a problem, and if not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

My elder sister smiled slightly and said, "Although Concubine Shu has become a nun, she was once a member of the harem and a concubine of the late emperor. Your Majesty should send someone to Ganlu Temple to inquire about Concubine Shu's wishes and whether she is willing to accept the title."

"If she agrees, everyone will be happy. If she doesn't agree, it will be considered as fulfilling the etiquette. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

This proposal not only took into account the special circumstances of Concubine Shu, but also avoided putting the emperor in an awkward position. Furthermore, the emperor and Prince Guo had a relatively harmonious brotherly relationship, making this even more appropriate.

The emperor thought for a moment and felt that his sister's suggestion was quite appropriate, so he ordered: "Su Peisheng, do as Wanpin said."

Then, he looked at his sister, his eyes full of admiration: "You are indeed very smart, coming up with such a comprehensive plan. I am very pleased."

My sister lowered her head humbly and said, "I don't deserve this honor. I just hope to help the emperor solve his problems."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, his suggestion was approved by the emperor, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

My sister knew clearly that if she angered the emperor, she would lose her head. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.

She knew very well that our emperor was always suspicious. He was skeptical of everyone and everything, especially those who might threaten his throne.

Therefore, ministers had to be extremely cautious in the court, not daring to make even the slightest mistake. If they were careless, the emperor would find fault with them, leading to demotion at the very least and even execution at the worst.

The same goes for the concubines in the harem. They must be careful and cautious at all times. If they are not careful, they will not only harm themselves, but also their families.
