Chapter 136 Your Majesty Is Going Too Far!

After retiring from the court, Yan Donghuang issued a decree.

Qi Fangfei, the grandson of the Grand Tutor, was outstanding in knowledge, dignified and benevolent, with a broad mind and a heart of loyalty to the emperor and the country. He was given the position of attendant in the Qinzheng Palace, with the rank of sixth rank, and was made a female official in front of the emperor.

This was the first foreign female official with a formal rank in the Yong Dynasty.

Changlan and Changyue were granted the title of female imperial officials.

Feng Yuan Ziying was granted the title of Imperial Medical Girl and was given the title of Sixth Grade.

Although they are both female officials, Chang Lan and Chang Yue are female officials in the inner court who serve the queen in daily life and manage the maids, while Qi Fangfei is an official of the former dynasty who can discuss politics, with different division of responsibilities.

Meng Zhou was the eunuch before the emperor.

The first official task Yan Donghuang gave him was to bring Sheng Jing'an into the palace.

Meng Zhou followed the order and left.

When the old lady of the Sheng family learned that her son was going to the palace to serve His Majesty, she froze at first, and then her face changed with anger: "Your Majesty is going too far!"

"What is a servant? Isn't it just a man's favorite? Even if Jing'an is not her fiancé, he is still the legitimate son of the Duke. How could she... how could she..."

Sheng Jing'an quickly comforted him: "Mom, please calm down. This is something my son is willing to do."

"Are you willing?" The old lady turned her head and looked at him in disbelief, "You are the only one in the Duke's Mansion, Jing'an, how can you be so confused? Even if you cancel the engagement and marry and have children normally, you can't go Become a male favorite who is waiting for you."

What to do about the inheritance of Guogong Mansion?

Whose children will be born in the future?

"Don't worry, mother." Sheng Jing'an helped her sit down on the chair and whispered, "It is for the future of the Duke's Palace that I decided to compromise."

The old lady was startled: "How do you say that?"

"Although we feel a little wronged now, if we weren't wronged, she probably wouldn't let us go." Sheng Jing'an sat aside with a gloomy expression, "Mother still remembers the time she invited Yan Donghuang to the house as a guest years ago?"

The old lady nodded with an ugly look on her face: "She became the crown prince and her status is more noble. Naturally, she won't give face to me, an old woman."

"No." Sheng Jing'an shook his head solemnly, "She heard from somewhere that we were going to poison her and had the intention of murdering her, so she didn't come. Later, she imprisoned her son in the eldest princess' mansion for this reason."

The old lady was startled and stood up unconsciously: "What did you say?"

"Mom, please be patient." Sheng Jing'an comforted her, "It is a capital crime to murder the crown prince. No matter who instigates it in front of her, once she believes that I have harmful intentions for her, does mother think the Duke's Palace can survive?"

The old lady was horrified.

She sat down on the chair a little weakly, with cold sweat on her palms.

Poisoning the crown prince?

Who is this person who is so cruel that he dares to frame the Sheng family?

Although she...even though she couldn't accept the fact that the princess was the heir, she always thought it was a child's play, but let alone the heir, even if he murders an ordinary princess, it is a death penalty.

She did have the unrealistic idea of ​​overpowering Yan Donghuang because she was worried that she would not take her as a mother-in-law seriously after getting married because of her status as a princess.

But she would never dare to think of murdering the princess.

What's more, now that the princess has become the empress, if she believes in her heart that the Sheng family has the intention to murder her, sooner or later she will find a crime and kill everyone in the Sheng family.

The more the old lady thought about it, the more she couldn't sit still, and her face turned pale: "Jing'an, what should we do? Think of a way..."

"Mother, I'm already thinking of a way." Sheng Jing'an said warmly, "Your Majesty sent Eunuch Meng to pick me up, but there was no explicit intention, so being a male favorite should only be temporary. As long as my son enters the palace, he will be closer to her in the future. , I will find a way to resolve the misunderstanding, and..."

He paused slightly, and a dark luster flashed across his eyes: "Furthermore, she and I already had a marriage contract. The marriage was agreed upon by the Supreme Emperor and my father when they were still alive. Not only has she not fulfilled the marriage contract, but she has made me the son of a dignified prince. Entering the palace to be a male favorite will make all the officials dissatisfied, and she is ruining her own reputation. "

The old lady didn't quite understand what he meant.

Since the purpose of his entering the palace was to clear up the misunderstanding, Yan Donghuang's ruined reputation should not be of any benefit to him. In other words... after the misunderstanding was cleared, Yan Donghuang could be forced to fulfill his engagement with Jing'an by the words of the officials. Make him the official husband?

But even if he is a real husband, the children born to Yan Donghuang in the future will also be named Yan, and cannot be named Sheng. Doesn't the Sheng family have to be extinct?

"Mom, don't think too much for the time being." Sheng Jing'an obviously understood what his mother cared about, and patiently reassured her, "The top priority is to protect the Sheng family and make Your Majesty believe that I have no intention of harming her. As for what will happen in the future, I can only leave. Take it one step at a time.”

The old lady nodded quickly: "You are right, the top priority is to save your life. After you enter the palace, you must be humble and respectful. Tell her well and don't make her angry again."

"My son understands." Sheng Jing'an nodded, and then said, "My son is going to change clothes, and we will go to the palace now. Mother, if you can, don't go out recently. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so we must be careful in our words and deeds."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Sheng Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked out.

When he walked outside the hospital, he met his sister Sheng Chuyue who came in a hurry. When he was about to ask him something, Sheng Jing'an quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Don't ask anything. Stay at home and take good care of your mother these days."

Sheng Chuyue looked a little uneasy, but still nodded: "Yes."

Sheng Jing'an walked away.

When he reached the deserted corridor, his expression turned cold, his eyes dark and calculating.

Male favorite?

How could he be willing to be a male favorite?

He doesn't even want to be the emperor's wife.

What he wants is to bring honor to his family and be a man who stands tall and proud, rather than being a vassal of a woman for life.

He wants to make the Sheng family a top family in the Yong Dynasty - to achieve this wish, the only way is to follow the dragon.

Does Yan Donghuang really think that he will succumb to her?

What a joke.

What he wants is to dispel her suspicion, use the past relationship to soften her heart, and gradually gain her trust.

If she can get pregnant, it would be great. Then wouldn't it be the best way to die with one body and two lives?

Even if she can't get pregnant...

Sheng Jing'an's eyes darkened. Anyway, Yan Donghuang won't be able to sit on the throne for long.
