That night, Li Yuanjing visited the Empress Dowager of the Qin Consort, Zhangsun Wugou.
On the second day.
Emperor Li Yuanjing sent Cao Zhengchun into the Eastern Palace to announce the decree in the Qin Consort's courtyard and the Qi Consort's courtyard.
Consort Qin and Consort Qi knelt down to receive the edict.
"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor has decreed!"
"Zhen heard that King Qi's concubine Yang is intelligent, cute, and understanding. She is naturally charming, and Zhen is very happy to hear it. The harem was deserted, there were not enough children, and the Great Tang was unstable. Although Consort Qi is my sister-in-law, for the sake of the inheritance of the Tang Empire, I have granted you special permission to enter the palace, procreate, and prosper the Tang Empire. All the etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to handle together. They chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage and enter the palace.”
Cao Zhengchun looked at Consort Qi respectfully.
At this moment, she was no longer Consort Qi of King Qi's mansion, but Consort Qi of the Tang Empire. Cao Zhengchun was very good at reading people's expressions, so he naturally knew that the Emperor favored Consort Qi.
Why didn't His Majesty secretly take Consort Qi in?
Wasn't it to let the world know that Consort Qi had a name and a share, entering the harem and not being laughed at by the world?
When Consort Qi heard this, her beautiful eyes teared up. She immediately went forward to take the imperial edict."ChenQie, thank you, Your Majesty!"
His Majesty had risked universal condemnation to take her, a widowed sister-in-law, into the palace. Hehe, in the future, he must drink a few more bags of His Majesty's soybean milk.
At the side, Zhangsun Wugou's expression darkened. She was probably going to be killed as well.
"I heard that the Concubine of the King of Qin is educated, gentle, virtuous, holy, and flawless. The harem was deserted, there were not enough children, and the Great Tang was unstable. Although the Qin Consort is my sister-in-law, for the sake of the inheritance of the Great Tang, I have granted you permission to enter the palace, reproduce, and prosper the Great Tang. All the etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to handle together. He would choose an auspicious day to marry Consort Qi into the palace.”
Boom!
Zhangsun Wugou's pretty face was pale, and her beautiful eyes were absent-minded as she revealed a hint of self-mockery.
Holy and flawless?
Enlightened and reasonable?
Stick to womanhood?
The Emperor wanted her to enter the palace to reproduce for the sake of the inheritance of his children?
To accept sister-in-law, to pass on to future generations
Qin Wang had only died four days ago.
If this wasn't mockery, then what was it?
Concubine Qi quickly pulled Concubine Qin and whispered,""Sister Wugou, our trip to the harem is a rebirth from the ashes! With her sister's peerless beauty, virtuous and virtuous, and the support of Lord Zhangsun in the court, why wouldn't she worry about being the mother of the world?”
"The King of Qin is dead. We should cherish what's in front of us!”
Zhangsun Wugou smiled bitterly.
If she was loyal and unyielding, she would have committed suicide in her room yesterday instead of ingratiating herself.
Yesterday
Dressed in mourning clothes and dressed in plain clothes, he took the initiative to please the Emperor in front of the memorial tablet of the King of Qin.
Zhangsun Wugou was just a commoner. Now, for her children, for her brother, and for the Zhangsun Clan.
"ChenQie, receive the decree!"
Cao Zhengchun smiled at Consort Qin…Oh no, Concubine Qin. He had long known that Concubine Qin had been familiar with Confucian ethics since she was young. She was also very cautious and was as holy as a fairy. He had thought that she would disobey the imperial edict, but he did not expect that she would be subdued by His Majesty overnight.
I'm impressed by Old Cao!
Cao Zhengchun secretly gave the Emperor a thumbs up!
Then, the two of them entered the harem. Concubine Qi entered the Hall of Hundred Blessings, and Concubine Qin entered the Hall of Thousand Autumn.
The two halls were very close to each other. Li Yuanjing had specially instructed that the sisters-in-law should naturally stay together.
......
All of a sudden, the court and the people inside and outside Chang 'an were talking about it.
In Zhangsun Wuji's residence.
Everyone was raising their glasses to celebrate.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Du Guyanyun, Du Junchuo and more than a dozen others.
The leader was Zhangsun Wuji. He drank to his heart's content today to celebrate his sister's victory.
Hou Junji hurried forward and toasted,"Wuji! Today, Consort Qin has taken over the harem. If you rise to fame, don't forget me!”
Zhangsun Wuji's face was flushed red as he said humbly,""Junji! You can't say that. We've all been promoted based on merit. How can we rely on nepotism?”
Although he said this, he was already overjoyed. With him in the court and his sister in the internal court, wouldn't the Zhangsun Clan be revived?
Zhangsun Wuji was now the Emperor's brother-in-law. Who would dare to look down on him?
Everyone had also seen Zhangsun Wugou before, and they were all shocked to see him like a celestial being. He was like an otherworldly fairy, elegant and refined.
Now.
Zhangsun Wugou betrayed the King of Qin and served His Majesty.
A few people sighed. Although Qin Wangfei was gentle and virtuous, she was loyal and never gave in to matters between men and women.
He wondered how much suffering she would have to suffer at His Majesty's side.
The others were happy. Zhangsun Wuji had been close to them for many years, and they had long become a group of interests.
When a man attains the Tao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
"Let us toast to His Majesty's brother-in-law!”Everyone raised their wine glasses to celebrate Concubine Qin entering the harem.
"Fuck!"
