Lan Fu felt that Concubine Lan was looking at him with a very sincere gaze, so she must have said something sincere, so Lan Fu quickly thanked her,"Lanfu is very honored to be recognized by Consort Lan!”
"You and I don't have to be polite. If it's possible, we'll be friends in the future!”Concubine Lan grabbed Lan Fu's slender hand in a friendly manner.
Lan Fu finally opened the corner of her mouth that was difficult to open, and her heart suddenly became clear.
"Pa!" At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard the sound of porcelain shattering in the palace! The two of them were so shocked that they did not have the time to continue chatting. Instead, they hurriedly returned to the palace to investigate.
Lan Fu returned to the palace and saw this scene---the Emperor's brows were already furrowed into a ball, unable to be resolved.
And wasn't the person standing beside the Emperor Tuoba Qian? Tuoba Qian just stood beside the Emperor with his head lowered and did not say a word. There were pieces of porcelain scattered all over the ground beside Tuoba Qian's feet…
Did Tuoba Qian make the Emperor angry? Lan Fu couldn't help but think so.
Soon, the Emperor spoke, and Lan Fu also approached the vicinity of the situation, wanting to find out the ins and outs of the matter.
"Tuoba Qian, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival now. I didn't want to get angry, but now you're actually provoking my sore spot at this time! Are you the only one who cares about the flood in the Yangtze River, and I just turn a blind eye?
To think that I trusted you so much. Tuoba Qian, I have everything arranged. I don't need you to tell me what to do! If I compromise now, won't you be the one who will seize power in the future?”
It could be seen that the Emperor was extremely angry, but this was also Tuoba Qian's helpless action. If he did not say it today, the flood would probably drag on for another day, causing an even more irreparable regret!
"Emperor, this lowly official did not mean that. I only wish to save the people. Emperor, have you ever thought that while we are holding a banquet and smiling, those people who have suffered from the disaster are in the midst of fire and water and cannot be saved?”
Tuoba Qian was still unwilling.
"If I were to cripple you as a prince and then save the people, would you be willing?”
The Emperor changed his words and threatened Tuoba Qian.
Just as Tuoba Qian was about to speak, Situ Shi rushed out and said to the Emperor,""Your Majesty, please calm down. After all, wangye is thinking for the people. Recently, because of the flood, who knows how many hairs wangye has lost. Now, it's also a moment of desperation. I hope that the emperor will remember wangye's loyalty for many years and not blame wangye!”
The Situ family's pleas seemed to have no effect.
The Emperor did not even look at Lady Situ in the eye and shouted sternly,"Get lost! Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt the matters between us men?”
Lady Situ was scared out of her wits by the Emperor's shout…She staggered uncontrollably and fell into Consort Shu's arms.
"Qianman, the emperor is still in a fit of anger. Don't go up and dissuade him for the time being. Otherwise, even his life will be in danger!”Consort Shu had not expected the Emperor to be so agitated.
It was probably because the Emperor was too particular and could not tolerate any disappointment in his elaborate banquet.
In the past, even though the Emperor was often upset about the Yangtze River flood, he would not confront Tuoba Qian directly.
Tuoba Qian was the king of the dynasty and did not have much military power, but he could not be ignored. If he had a conflict with the king, it would not be beneficial to the emperor's comfortable life.
"Emperor! If you put it that way, you're very wrong! Why couldn't a woman interfere in the matters between men? We are collectively called humans, and men also have times when they make mistakes. If the emperor is not convinced, then you can reason with him. If you insist on using power to suppress him, I'm afraid you will be despised by the world!”
Lan Fu had been observing from the side for a long time. While she understood the situation, Lan Fu had also seen through the Emperor's character. The Emperor's temper was not to be trifled with, but the Emperor was a person who cared about his face after all. Thus, Lan Fu spoke up and hit the Emperor's vital point. Even if her tone was very harsh, as long as it was reasonable, Lan Fu was confident and was not afraid of the Emperor punishing her.
"Murong Lanfu, who allowed you to speak, go away!”Tuoba Qian saw that Lan Fu had actually spoken disrespectfully to the Emperor and was immediately shocked. He wanted to chase Lan Fu away from here, or else Lan Fu might not be able to return today.
Lan Fu was a little absent-minded when she saw Tuoba Qian's clear eyes that were concerned about her.
Was Tuoba Qian concerned about her? Lan Fu couldn't help but ponder in confusion. However, just a moment ago, Tuoba Qian was disgusted by her lack of etiquette…
Forget it. Tuoba Qian was someone he didn't understand. Why should he be entangled in useless things?
"Slow down! I can talk to whoever I want to talk to. Don't interfere in my matters! Let her continue, your name is Murong Lanfu, right?”
The Emperor's question interrupted Lan Fu's absent-minded state.
Lan Fu answered the Emperor," Yes, my surname is Murong, and my name is Lan Fu. I am the daughter of a sixth-ranked military academy's Hu family. I am now Tuoba Qian's concubine."”
Lan Fu was neither servile nor overbearing as she told the Emperor her entire story.
Tuoba Qian saw that he could no longer stop Lan Fu from continuing his conversation with the Emperor, so he could only step back and look at Lan Fu quietly, hoping that Lan Fu would speak less. After all, the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.
"Murong Lanfu, you just said that you women have the right to interrupt the matters between us men, right?”The Emperor looked at Lan Fu with interest and continued to ask.
"That's right." Lan Fu answered the emperor.
"Then what qualifications do you think you have? Can you fight for power, or can you replace a man's infinite strength?”The Emperor seemed to want to use his own logic to overthrow Lan Fu's logic.
But Lan Fu thought for a moment and continued to answer the Emperor,"Emperor, how can your examples be so one-sided? You only give examples of men's strengths and ignore women's strengths? Without us women, how can men reproduce? How could there be an endless stream of people to manage the country that had been conquered?”
After Lan Fu finished speaking, the ministers in the palace burst into laughter. Although most people were still worried about Lan Fu's fate, they had to admit that Lan Fu was indeed a glib and quick-witted woman.
This could not help but eliminate some people's worries about Lanfu. The negative first impression of Lanfu had also quietly changed.
However, Situ Shi wasn't one of them. The more Lan Fu was in the limelight, the more Situ Shi hated her. She gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. At present, there was only one thought in Situ Shi's mind, and that was to let the emperor quickly behead Lan Fu.
But why didn't the Emperor punish Lan Fu? He couldn't speak just now, but Lanfu seemed to have said more than one or two sentences…
Could it be that the emperor likes Murong Lanfu and hates me…Thinking of this, Mrs. Situ shook her head hard, unable to believe this fact.
"Moreover, Emperor, what you said just now, men might not be as good as me!”Lan Fu proudly said to the emperor.
