Chapter 18

"Your Majesty, all the ministers are staring at the showgirls this time. I'm afraid they can't be the same as before, and they just give them a title to deal with it. As for whose brand to turn, isn't it up to Your Majesty?"

If a title can shut up the mouths of those ministers, Xu Yanjin thinks it is also possible.

"Do you have any opinion?"

Xu Yanjin asked Li An for his opinion, and probably agreed with Li An's suggestion.

"The servant thinks that today's Young Master Dong is not bad. Chengxiang Dong has always supported His Majesty. Now that he canonize his granddaughter, Chengxiang Dong can strengthen his position."

The so-called harem is actually closely related to the court. The ministers in the court also need to look at the direction of the harem. Before, because the harem was empty, they all spoke according to their rank. But once a daughter is favored, her status is obvious. will go up.

"Then do as you say."

Xu Yanjin didn't care either, let Li An do whatever he wanted, it's just a title, it won't affect anything.

Xu Yanjin thought well, but ignored Youning's feelings.

When the imperial decree was delivered to Chuxiu Palace, everyone in the palace knew the news. The ladies all envied Dong Lishu, but they also despised him in their hearts. Who knew what method Dong Lishu used?
Having lived together in Chuxiu Palace for so long, these people now know who Dong Lishu is, and the harem will look good in the future, and it's finally their turn to watch the show safely.

Ping Wu told You Ning about Dong Lishu's acceptance, and You Ning didn't care, just as if he had heard a gossip that had nothing to do with him. When Xu Yanjin came to You Ning's bedroom again, You Ning's reaction was like Not so bland anymore.

"The Emperor is here—"

When Qi Youning heard the sound, it was as if he hadn't heard it. Xu Yanjin walked in. Youning also pretended not to see it and didn't even look at it.

Xu Yanjin told Youning that there is no need to salute when there are no courtiers around, so he didn't care if Youning didn't salute, the privilege he gave, Youning can use it, Xu Yanjin is too late to be satisfied, how could he be picky?
But then he discovered something was wrong.

He sat on Youning's half-reclined couch, and as soon as he sat down, Youning stood up and sat down at the table to eat some fruit.

Yun'er on the side is also looking in the clouds, nothing happened just now, why did she change her appearance in an instant?

Yun'er received Xu Yanjin's suspicious look, she could only shake her head slightly, she was not in the bedroom just now, but went to prepare fruit, she knew that the emperor would come soon, so she prepared things habitually, just now she accompanied You Ning It was Ping Wu, could it be that Ping Wu said something?
If you ask the maidservant, you probably won't be able to find anything, so it's better to ask Youning directly.

"What's wrong with Ningning? Who messed with you?"

"Huh..." You Ning retreated from Xu Yanjin's arms, took a step back, kept a little distance from Xu Yanjin, and pretended to be indifferent, "Who would dare to provoke a concubine, it's just that the concubine is ignorant."

It was the first time Xu Yanjin saw Youning sulked. Although Youning didn't say anything, he vaguely felt that it had something to do with him.

"Don't be angry, I'm going to feel sorry for you if you get angry." Xu Yanjin still pulled Youning into his arms, wrapped her body with one hand, and pinched her face with the other.

The fair face was a little pink because of anger, but there was a hint of girlishness, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

You Ning knows how to stop when enough is enough, she should be angry in moderation, not too much, if she really hurt Xu Yanjin, it would be more harm than good for her.

"The concubine asked Your Majesty, is there a new honorable Dong Guiren today?"

You Ning looked into Xu Yanjin's eyes, and asked such a sentence, Xu Yanjin subconsciously dodged his eyes, trying to lie, but the decree has been issued, and what everyone in the palace knows must not be concealed.

"I"

Before Xu Yanjin could say a word, You Ning broke away from his embrace, "The concubine knows this is true. If your majesty has a new love, he won't like the concubine anymore, so come to the concubine again." do what?"

She was still angry just now, but it turned into grievance in an instant, and thinking that she might lose Xu Yanjin's favor in the future, You Ning's tears couldn't stop falling down.

A drop of pearl-like tear fell onto Xu Yanjin's hand, it was warm and warm, and Xu Yanjin's heart felt uncomfortable, as if a needle had been stuck in his heart, the pain was hard to describe.

If he knew that You Ning would have such a big reaction, Xu Yanjin would definitely not canonize Dong Lishu, but the imperial decree was issued, and Dong Lishu did not make any mistakes, so it must not be abolished anymore, and it is difficult to explain to Dong Chengxiang.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I only have you in my heart, canonizing Dong Guiren is just to stop the mouths of those ministers in the court, and it is also to give Chengxiang Dong a face and a title."

Xu Yanjin hated Li An to death now, if it wasn't for Li An's idea, he wouldn't have given Dong Lishu the title, but now he shot himself in the foot, and the ministers in the court blocked their mouths. The tears of my sweetheart could not be stopped.

"Really? Your Majesty really only loves one concubine?"

Qi Youning looked at him with pear blossoms and rain, looked at him with watery eyes, and nodded as if promising, "I will only spoil you, and I will never betray you."

These words are not only for Qi Youning, but also for himself.

The one in front of me is my sweetheart, so I can't hurt her with this kind of thing in the future.

"Your Majesty's eloquent words, my concubine is serious, if your majesty deceives my concubine, my concubine would rather die than watch your majesty doting on others"

Youning looks weak, but she is still persistent in her bones. If Xu Yanjin really lied to her, she would really die in front of Xu Yanjin.

Losing Xu Yanjin's favor, even if You Ning did not kill herself, she would lose the meaning of a chess piece. Instead of waiting for the emperor of Chu's decision, she would rather die.

With Xu Yanjin's promise, You Ning seemed to feel at ease, leaning obediently in Xu Yanjin's arms, "It's not because I'm narrow-minded and doesn't want to share Your Majesty's love with others, it's just that I'm far away from my hometown and come here alone. The only concubine is Your Majesty, if even His Majesty abandons the concubine, then the concubine will really not be able to live in this deep palace."

Xu Yanjin knew how terrible the battle in the harem was. Because her mother and concubine were not favored at the beginning, and because her family fell from power, no one even paid attention to her death. So far, even the murderer has not been found. Xu Yanjin has no ability and is not favored. He could only barely protect himself, and he couldn't even avenge his mother and concubine. Fortunately, God knows that those people died in the struggle for the heir apparent, which made him a fisherman.
