Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 7
I never like to bring too many people by my side. This time, when I go out, I only bring Fang Xie and An Fulai with me. Qi He stays in Changwu Hall, so after Fang Xie leaves, only An Fu is by my side. Come alone.

Mingqi harem is not full, so the palace is deserted all the year round.I walked along the long palace wall with An Fulai, and I could hear the echo of footsteps behind me.

Walking through the long palace wall road and turning around the palace, An Fulai and I arrived outside the front yard of the Royal Study Room after a while.

However, as soon as I entered the gate of the palace, I saw Prime Minister Chu Bufan kneeling on the ground.

Chu Bufan is a veteran of the three dynasties. He is seventy years old this year, with white hair. He devoted himself to serving the country when he was in power, and won the respect of many officials and people.

Looking at him kneeling on the cold and wet ground at this moment, I was puzzled for a moment, what made this prime minister who even admired Mingqi kneel on the wet ground after the ice and snow melted.

"If the emperor does not take back the imperial decree, the minister will not be able to kneel down for a long time."

Before stepping into the halls, I heard Chu Bufan say.

"You are not joking, since I have issued the imperial decree, I will definitely not take it back." Mingqi's displeased answer came from the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Changruo can't accept it." Chu Bufan said sadly.

Listening to the conversation between the two, I paused in the footsteps of the palace courtyards.

"Your Majesty, I know that you have always respected the Empress Dowager, and you dare not disobey her orders, but the Qiu family already has a daughter in the palace, and if another daughter enters the palace, the stability of the court will be unbalanced." Chu Bufan advised sadly. .

"Your Majesty, the Qiu family's mind is not right, and if Qiu Changruo never enters the palace." Chu Bufan kowtowed on the ground after finishing speaking: "I implore the emperor to take back the imperial edict."

The road in front of the imperial study was a cobblestone road, and Chu Bufan kowtowed very hard, every time he kowtowed, there was a heavy sound, and at the same time, his forehead was also bruised and bruised at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I stood at the gate of the palace courtyard, listening to Chu Bufan's kowtow, seeing that Mingqi didn't come out for a while, my heart sank again and again: Mingqi probably really likes Qiu Changruo, right?
"Mr. Prime Minister, why make things difficult for the emperor. If Qiu Chang decides to let the emperor accept it, then Mr. Prime Minister should blame me." Suppressing the depression in my heart, I walked in and stood behind Chu Bufan.

Probably he did not expect that I would come to the imperial study at this time. Chu Bufan, who was kowtowing, was startled when he heard my voice, and then turned around quickly.

As for Mingqi, people opened the door of the imperial study room at this time, but they did not leave the imperial study room.

"I beg the queen mother to advise the emperor to take back the imperial decree to marry Qiu Changruo." Chu Bufan kowtowed to me.

"What if Ai's family says no?" Hearing this, I asked.

"The empress dowager is kind and dedicated to serving the country, so she certainly doesn't want to see the court lose balance." Chu Bufan said.

"The Prime Minister is just joking, Aijia is just a harem woman, and she doesn't understand the imbalance in court." I said with a light smile.

"Queen Mother!" Chu Bufan seemed to be annoyed by my words, so almost as soon as my words fell, he suddenly raised his head and looked at me accusingly, forgetting his identity for a moment.

"Master Prime Minister, Rong Ai's family can ask you a few questions." Faced with Chu Bufan's accusation, I was not moved at all, but still smiled lightly.

Chu Bufan's accusing expression froze when he heard the words, and he said, "Excuse me, Queen Mother."

"In the eyes of the prime minister, who is the Ai family? And what is his identity?" I asked.

"The empress dowager is the empress dowager, she is the lord of the harem and the mother of my dynasty." Chu Bufan said.

"Then what is the relationship between Aijia and the emperor?"

"The first emperor once said that he ordered the emperor to respect the queen mother as his own mother."

"What is the standard for civil marriage?"

"Parents to enrich people."

"Since the prime minister understands this truth, then Aijia wants to ask the prime minister, since Aijia is the emperor's own mother, is it wrong to choose a concubine for the emperor?"

"There is nothing wrong with it."

"Since the prime minister knows that there is nothing wrong with Aijia, why does Aijia advise the emperor?" I said with a smile.
