The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Since the day Jiang Lingyue moved into Ning'an Palace, there has never been any communication when the Emperor came to Ning'an Palace.

This time he came in quietly as usual.

The sudden male voice made Xie An Ning and her daughter stop talking. When they turned their heads and saw the emperor in a black dragon robe, they were shocked and bowed to the ground together.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty."

Qi Junyi didn't stop, he glanced at the mother and daughter, and said casually, "No need to be polite."

When he finished speaking, he had already reached Jiang Lingyue and picked up the girl who was about to bow and salute, "Stand up straight."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

Her knees straightened up, and Xie Anning and Wang Wan, who were kneeling, also stood up.

Obviously, they also heard what His Majesty the Emperor said.

Xie An Ning didn't show it on her face, but Wang Wan couldn't hide her thoughts, her eyes were sparkling.

Qi Junyi pulled the girl next to him to sit down, then nodded to the seat below him and said lightly, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Anning bowed deeply and sat down with her daughter.

Although His Majesty the Emperor said that there was no need to be so formal and his attitude was very gentle and generous, he was the supreme ruler of the Dahan Dynasty and the emperor.

The aura of ease that he exudes is enough to make people inexplicably afraid to act recklessly, even if they are just sitting here.

Even Wang Wan, who was known for her bold personality, lost her ease and relaxed attitude and began breathing more lightly.

It was Jiang Lingyue who broke the slightly stagnant atmosphere.

She reached out and poured him a cup of tea, pushed it over, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you came back early today. It's very cold outside. Have some hot tea to warm yourself up."

Qi Junyi was a little surprised by the long-lost concern. He looked up at her smiling eyes and his chest suddenly felt warm.

His Yueyue still considers the overall situation.

Look, even though there are outsiders here, he doesn't give him a cold shoulder.

He said, "I came to see your aunt whom you have missed for many days."

As he spoke, he took the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "What did you just say about 'female official'?"

There was nothing to hide, Jiang Lingyue said bluntly, "It's Wan'er. She wants to be an official. I'm thinking of arranging a position for her in the inner court so that she can experience the thrill of being an official."

It was this kind of doting tone between elders and younger people.

In Qi Junyi's eyes, his Yueyue is just a delicate little girl.

He was six years older than her and had lived ten years longer than her in his previous life. To be honest, he was sixteen years older than her.

He should tolerate her little temper, praise her, indulge her, and protect her.

Be very careful and don't let the wind and waves affect her at all.

To say that he doted on her was not enough to describe his care for her; it had already reached the level of spoiling her.

And at this moment, I heard her speaking to others in such a doting tone.

Even though she was a girl younger than her and whom she regarded as her biological sister, Qi Junyi couldn't help but pursed her lips.

An indescribable sudden cold came over me.

He took another sip of tea, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly, "The female official cannot ask for an imperial decree for my mother."

The inner court is the queen's authority. Although it has its own official promotion system, the highest rank is only the third rank, and the real power in its hands is not much.

It's all about the affairs of the harem, the royal family, and even the wives of high-ranking officials.

He cannot reach the imperial court, nor can he influence the country's affairs.

If you want to ask for an imperial decree for your mother, only an important official in the court can do it.

This is also the cornerstone of the phenomenon that a mother is honored by her son and a wife is honored by her husband.

All because men are noble.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Jiang Lingyue said, "Well, a female official is still an official. Even if I can't ask for imperial edicts for my family, at least no one dares to bully me."

In short, it was simple for her to protect two people.

His Majesty the Emperor has already started the process of appointing a queen, so the appointment of female officials in the inner court will naturally be left to her.

Not to mention the women of the aristocratic families, he would not say a word of objection even to the ordinary maids and eunuchs in the harem.

only……

Qi Junyi's eyes flickered as he looked down at Xie Anning, who was wearing the attire of a fourth-rank court lady, and said, "With Lord Wang here, Madam, there's no need to worry about not receiving an imperial decree."

After he finished speaking, Xie Anning's expression changed immediately.

Wang Shaofu was the emperor's confidant and beloved minister, with unlimited prospects. He was also good in character, appearance, and background. The two had been married for more than ten years and were famous for their loving and happy life.

Such conditions are unlikely to be found anywhere in the capital. If one directly asks for a divorce, it will inevitably leave the impression of being rebellious, insatiable, and unsatisfied in the eyes of the superiors.

But since His Majesty the Emperor has asked, as his wife, I naturally have to answer, and I cannot deceive him.

Xie Anning hesitated for a moment, but before she could speak, Jiang Lingyue came to her rescue, saying, "Wang Shaofu is fickle and wants a son. My aunt Xie wants to take Wan'er home and divorce him. She won't live with him anymore."

The knuckles holding the teacup paused slightly, and Qi Junyi's eyes showed some surprise. He obviously did not expect such an answer.

He put down his teacup, frowned slightly and said, "Will your Majesty allow you to return home?"

It would be disrespectful for someone else to answer the emperor's questions again.

Xie An Ning hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "This was my own decision. He is still unaware of it."

Qi Junyi frowned in thought and was about to say something when his hand, which was resting on the coffee table, was grabbed by the person next to him.

"Your Majesty, why are you interrogating me like a criminal? It's so rare for Aunt Xie and I to see each other, so please don't scare my guests." Jiang Lingyue glanced at him and said angrily, "Or does Your Majesty also think that Wang Shaofu and my Aunt Xie shouldn't have proposed a divorce?"

This question is very dangerous.

Qi Junyi was silent for a moment, his eyes showing helplessness, "That's not the case."

Apart from anything else, there were quite a few princesses and duchesses of the Qi royal family who were rebellious and kept male favorites. It was just a divorce, so he wouldn't be so pedantic.

Having said that, given his usual obedience to the girl, he should have dropped the topic.

Anyway, it's just a family affair of the ministers.

However, after Qi Junyi finished speaking, he simply held her hand, slowly stroking the girl's delicate wrist bone with his thumb, and lowered his eyes in thought for a while.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but he said, "You have been married for many years. If there is anything wrong with Lord Wang, Madam, you should talk to him openly. Talking about divorce will only hurt both of you."

As everyone knows, although His Majesty the Emperor is a benevolent monarch who is generous and reasonable, he is indifferent by nature. He handles important affairs of the court with great skill and shows great importance to them by showing a little emotion.

And now, he actually said so much in one breath and put so much thought into such an insignificant matter.

Words that almost sounded like persuasion actually came out of the mouth of this unattainable man.

Even Jiang Lingyue was a little surprised.

Not to mention Xie Anning.

She immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember your advice and will consider this matter carefully."
