Jin Xin understands, if that's the case, then let everyone make their own choice.
After the two of them came out, the emperor said, "I have decreed that if you are willing to leave the palace, I will make arrangements for you. No one will criticize you. I will also grant you a decent status. If you don't want to leave the palace, you can also leave the palace." Life in the Palace.”
After listening, everyone looked at each other, what should they do? What else can they do after leaving the palace? What kind of person can they marry to live the rest of their lives?
When they enter the palace, they naturally want to benefit their family, want to be pampered in the Sixth Palace, and even want to be a master.
Those who had not received grace all knelt down to thank the Holy Grace and then left.
But he had already slept with him and was very favored before, so he somewhat did not accept the emperor's decision.
"Your Majesty, how can I still get married out of the palace? I belong to the Emperor." Concubine Yao stepped forward and said anxiously.
"Yes, if we leave the palace, our family will definitely not accept us. How can we remarry?" Sun Guiren also asked.
"I have issued the imperial edict, how can your family dare to disobey the imperial edict and drive you away? I have said that I will give you a royal title, receive salary according to your rank and monthly salary, and you can remarry. Isn't it better than you staying here for the rest of your life? "
Although the emperor's words were not stated clearly, everyone understood their situation to some extent in the following words.
If you continue to stay in the palace, you will not have any good days. Life in the palace is boring, how can it be happier than life outside.
Since they can have official status, their status is naturally different. Even if they don't get married, there will still be a court to support them.
Many people thought about it one after another. The last few concubines who had gone to bed were hesitant, but they were not sure whether to leave.
They have enjoyed the days of being sought after, but they don't know that the emperor's life is short, so they still want to give it a try.
In the end, Sun Guiren figured it out and knelt down, "I obey the order."
When several people saw this, they could only thank him and leave.
Almost all the people in the room have left.
Concubine Lan did not leave.
The emperor looked at Concubine Lan and said warmly, "My reward for you will be even greater. I will grant you the title of First Grade Imperial Lady, a hundred acres of farmland in the suburbs of Beijing, a hundred acres of manor in Shilizhuang outside the capital, and Nancheng Alley in the city." The Gao family's house will be given to you, what do you think?"
However, Concubine Lan was still in a dilemma. Her tears suddenly burst into tears and she knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am naturally grateful, but I really can't live without these two children."
Although she was not her biological child, she cared for the princess day and night and grew up, and the third prince was attached to her. Concubine Lan was always proud and happy to have two children.
But now that the emperor issued such an imperial edict, she faced a difficult choice. If she left the palace, she would definitely not be able to be with her two children.
If she doesn't leave the palace, she may not accept herself living in the palace as a widow.
I didn't think it was anything before. After all, once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and everyone lives like this.
But now that she has a choice, she can't make a decision.
Naturally, the prince and princess cannot follow her.
"You can consider this matter carefully before you reply to me." The emperor did not force her, and asked her to calm down before replying.
Concubine Lan sighed and could only get up and leave first.
Jin Xin looked at Concubine Lan's leaving figure and felt sad in her heart.
"She really regards the child as her own. For the princess and the prince to grow up so well, Concubine Lan has contributed a lot."
"I have been very kind to her. These rewards can only be obtained by making great achievements. Concubine Lan is indeed very dedicated. I can see that if she refuses to leave the palace, she can still live in the palace."
In all fairness, Jin Xin felt that the emperor had done a good job.
Feelings and interests can only depend on Concubine Lan's own choice.
"Time will heal everything." Jin Xin said with emotion.
"Are you satisfied with my decree?" The emperor looked at her expectantly, with a look of gratitude on his face.
"The emperor is a wise king, and everyone in the world knows it." Jin Xin said with a smile.
"What people in the world say is a matter for the future. I want to know what you think of me."
Jin Xin thought about it seriously, and she also felt that the emperor was a wise king, and what he did today was very contrary to his style of conduct.
For someone who cares so much about his reputation, he is willing to disband the harem and give these women a chance to choose life again. People in the world will also talk about the emperor's women remarrying, and future generations will also talk about the emperor and lament his decision.
The previous dynasty would definitely cause a stir and force the emperor to withdraw his decree and make this decision despite the opposition of the previous dynasty. Naturally, he would face a lot of criticism, so Jin Xin naturally felt that the emperor was indeed a good person.
"The Emperor is wise and mighty, and he is indeed a hero." She smiled.
The emperor couldn't help but be disappointed, "That's all? Is there nothing else?"
Doesn't she know that she is doing this for her?
Jin Xin thought for a while, understood immediately, and smiled immediately, "I am very touched."
The emperor was dumbfounded. He should be moved, but her reaction was not surprising.
He sighed silently, the queen still didn't understand his heart.
In fact, Jin Xin either didn't understand or didn't know how to respond to him. She didn't want to monopolize him, nor was she jealous of his harem.
She was touched, but her heart was not disturbed. She had accepted his three wives and concubines since she became the emperor's woman, and she would not embarrass herself over these things.
This has always been the case, so how could he be happy about dismissing the harem.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave now. I'll see you again in the evening." The emperor was a little uninterested, so he had to leave with an excuse.
Cuigu watched the emperor leave in despair, feeling a little helpless. She looked at Jin Xin and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor wants you to praise him."
"I praised you, didn't you hear it?" Jin Xin was helpless, she had agreed like this before.
Cuigu smiled bitterly, the queen was very sober, but a little too sober.
The emperor was clearly in love and wanted to be recognized and responded to by his beloved.
The queen still flattered him as if he were an emperor, but she didn't praise him enough.
"Even the slaves can see that the emperor wants to win the queen's heart, but the queen can't see clearly." Cui Gu shook her head and sighed.
Jin Xin shrugged helplessly, "My heart has become as calm as water."
She also had a child, slept with a man, and was heartbroken. Although it was not unforgettable, she did not expect to be loved by a man.
Her mother just liked to listen to sweet talk and lived such a confused life. Jiang Tiancheng had skin but no charm, but her mother loved him. The rest of her life was so hard.
Jin Xin actually knew what it felt like to be loved by others. She was moved by Gu Zhao's love, but it was not the kind of move that she wanted to respond to, but the feeling that she was loved so deeply without any thought of repayment. She actually felt guilty. .
It was just a small incident, but it was worth all the years of effort.
In comparison, the emperor's love was not outstanding to her.
