"Your Majesty!" The Queen's voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
She widened her eyes and looked at Emperor Xuanyuan in front of her with disbelief.
As the queen of Yunyan Kingdom, she has always been noble and majestic, but now she feels that her dignity has been seriously hurt.
If she was really confined by the emperor, her status in the harem would plummet. How would she have the face to manage other concubines in the future?
"Enough!" Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes were wide open with anger. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, making people dare not look directly at him.
He said coldly, "I consider you the master of the Six Palaces, so I have only confined you. This is already a mercy for you. You should be grateful, instead of being ungrateful."
Tears welled up in the queen's eyes. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, trying hard to hold back the tears.
However, the grievance and unwillingness in her heart made her unable to help but continue to defend herself.
"Everything I have done is for the health of Your Majesty! Why does Your Majesty treat me this way? Haven't I done my best enough?"
A trace of impatience flashed across the emperor's face. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "No need to say more. I have made up my mind."
He waved his hand, signaling the guards around him to come forward.
"Come here, send the queen back to the palace. She is not allowed to step out of the palace for one month."
When the queen heard this, her body trembled violently, as if she had lost all her strength.
She slowly collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold ground.
……
At this moment, Emperor Xuanyuan strode towards Shen Li.
"Princess Chen, you have saved me, tell me what reward you want, and I will grant it to you!"
Hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but feel happy.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity for her to file for divorce?
However, Yun Chenyu, who was standing aside, seemed to have guessed Shen Li's thoughts. He secretly tugged at her clothes and gave her a pleading look.
Shen Li looked at Yun Chenyu's pitiful appearance, and suddenly remembered the days when they played and fought together, and a feeling of reluctance surged in her heart.
However, she knew very well that she could not be trapped in this square courtyard forever, and she could not accept serving a man with so many other women.
Even if Yun Chenyu was willing to marry only her, as a prince, the emperor would never agree.
Just as Shen Li was lost in thought, the emperor's voice rang out again: "If you can't remember it right now, you can save it for later. Whenever you remember it, just tell me. I'll keep this opportunity for you."
This sentence interrupted Shen Li's thoughts and brought her back to her senses.
Shen Li's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, I...I want to divorce Prince Chen..."
boom!
Yun Chenyu felt a loud thunder in the sky, which struck his head and caused smoke to come out. He almost fainted.
"A Li..." Yun Chenyu glanced at Shen Li, then turned his gaze to Emperor Xuanyuan, his eyes full of expectation: "Father, I disagree!"
Emperor Xuanyuan was also shocked.
If Shen Li had asked him for gold, silver, jewelry, or glass and jade, he wouldn't have frowned. But now, she actually made this request...
Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand, signaling Yun Chenyu to shut up.
He is not a wooden man.
He knew that there was some estrangement between Shen Li and Yun Chenyu, and he had also heard some rumors, so he agreed to let Yun Chenyu and Shen Li live together in Qilin Palace, so that the couple could deepen their relationship.
At the same time, he hinted that they should have a child as soon as possible.
But now, Shen Li actually proposed divorce.
How can this be?
How could he let go of such an excellent daughter-in-law and let her leave the royal family?
Emperor Xuanyuan frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
"Princess Chen, you don't have to take Princess Yingri's words to heart. If she wants to marry me, Yunyan, I will definitely find another good husband for her in Yunyan. If she insists on marrying Yu'er, she can only be made a concubine. She can't challenge your position as the mistress of the palace."
"..." Shen Li held his forehead helplessly.
Emperor Xuanyuan thought she cared about the position of mistress of the palace!
This is not surprising. In ancient times, polygamy was the norm, and it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
However, modern society has long advocated monogamy, and many people are now afraid of marriage. Not to mention having three wives and four concubines, they are even unwilling to get married!
So, times are different and concepts are different.
Shen Li thought that he definitely could not accept this kind of marriage system.
But she couldn't tell Emperor Xuanyuan directly. After all, this was ancient times, and even if she did, it would not have any effect.
Emperor Xuanyuan continued, "Princess Yingri is, after all, a princess of Fusang. She would never humble herself to become a concubine. So, Shen Li, just put your mind at ease."
Yun Chenyu: "Father, it is impossible for me to marry Princess Yingri. I promised A Li before that I would be with her forever in this life." After saying that, he looked at Shen Li with a firm and affectionate look in his eyes.
Yun Chenyu spoke decisively and with great momentum.
Shen Li turned his head and glanced at Yun Chenyu, slightly moved.
She didn't expect that Yun Chenyu would be so determined to protect their relationship.
Emperor Xuanyuan frowned, but he did not show much surprise or anger.
On the contrary, his expression quickly returned to normal.
Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Shen Li and said, "Princess Chen, you see Yu'er has made such concessions for you. Don't make a fuss anymore. Go back and think about it carefully. I will give you one year. If you still want to divorce after one year, I promise to grant you a divorce myself!"
There was a hint of majesty in his voice, as if telling Shen Li that this was his biggest concession.
Shen Li was silent.
She knew that even if she talked more, it would be useless.
One year.
Then wait a year.
"I'm tired, you all go out first." Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand.
When Shen Li and Yun Chenyu left, Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes instantly turned cold, and he said to Eunuch Li:
"What do you mean by 'a lifetime, a couple'? Look, is this what a prince should say? Yu'er is invincible on the battlefield, undefeated and unstoppable, but I didn't expect him to get stuck on this matter. It seems I have to help him secretly!"
