Chapter 236 Protection of Rights and Interests
But the queen was only inciting touching tears in her tender eyes, but she smiled gently: "Since the emperor said that, I dare to ask the emperor, what does the emperor owe me in the heart?"
"I owe you a carefree life and a complete heart." Gao Jin still looked at the queen with a serious and melancholy face. After so many years of ups and downs, the woman who has been silently accompanying him was the woman in front of him who did not ask for anything in return. He didn't know what to make up for her, so he gave her a chance to accompany her for life, which was the reward she had hoped for.
After so many years of struggle in the harem, the queen has been doing ups and downs. After going through all the vicissitudes, it is really not easy to usher in today's honor and preserve her mother's honor in the world. Only she herself knows the bitterness. She always believes that the emperor will pay off her will, so she has won her reputation today.
But she also knew that Gao Jin's so-called complete heart. After so many years of persistence, it can be said that she was the goal of her struggle. She did not want to fight back Gao Jin's heart, but wanted to prove that she would not let Gao Jin down: she was disappointed, even if she did not have a complete heart, she would win his lifelong companionship.
So the queen said slowly: "Have you ever thought that you gave me a happy happiness and a chance to be with me for life. Although you can't give me a complete heart, I only have a complete love."
"Rong'er, being able to have you by your side is not only my blessing, but also the blessing of the people of the world." Gao Jin casually held the queen in his arms, but the heavy pressure in his heart was only particularly obvious when facing the queen.
Although I have been married for many years, the queen still snuggled in Gao Jin's arms like a bird lying on others. "The emperor praised me so much, how could I feel for you?"
Gao Jin's mature Sang Cang face showed a smile of satisfaction, but then he said earnestly: "I really hope that Shang'er can find a concubine who is as virtuous as Rong'er, but who is also wise and kind."
When talking about this, the queen suddenly remembered her intention, so she moved out of Gao Jin's arms and said, "By the way, I have heard recently that some court officials have been recommending the title of concubines for the eldest prince. I wonder if this matter is true?"
"Rong'er has heard of it, too." Gao Jin's low tone, he sighed a long time, and said with a melancholy look: "Shang'er is not young now, but now he doesn't even have a veritable concubine, so how can the court officials not be anxious?"
The queen curled the corner of her mouth lightly, but said meaningfully: "It must be fake if you are anxious, but it may be true if you are worried."
The Queen has long been familiar with rumors that Gao Yuanshang did not enthrone the concubines or was not close to women. However, due to Gao Yuanshang's special identity, such rumors were only secretly discussed, so the Queen had no way to pursue them. But she knew clearly that those who spread the rumors must not be entirely worried about Gao Yuanshang's heir, but wanted to use this to shake Gao Yuanshang's status.
"I understand the queen's meaning, but it is indeed a bit unnatural that Shang'er is not close to women. I'm worried..." Gao Jin was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something. It has been circulated in the palace for not close to women. Although it has been frequently reported that women are close to women, Gao Yuanshang, after secret investigation, it is just a matter of nothing, so Gao Jin has to worry about whether Gao Yuanshang is as rumored by some people.
"The emperor is also worried that his son has a quirk?" The queen's tone became obviously a little cold, because she firmly believed in the normalcy of her son and did not allow others to tarnish Gao Yuanshang's reputation, even Gao Jin could not.
Since things happened frequently in the past dynasties, Gao Jin hesitated for a moment, but his hesitation was not because of concern. Gao Yuanshang also had this kind of quirk of being an infatuated person, but because of worry that Gao Yuanshang would also be a seed of infatuation.
After experiencing a deep and unforgettable emotion, he still lost the woman he loved deeply, so he did not want Gao Yuanshang to repeat his past love path, because the love path hurts not only the mind, but also the hope in his heart. Moreover, a true emperor should not have the love of his children.
"Are I worried about Shang'er? But all the ministers in the court submitted a letter one by one, asking the eldest prince to be granted a concubine as soon as possible to protect the prosperity of the Northern Dynasties for thousands of years. I was really speechless and evaded them again. So..." Gao Jin shook his head with a sad face. He knew that the court officials suddenly collected Gao Yuanshang's title of concubine and submitted a memorial. It must be because Gao Yuanshang granted the title of beauties. They were anxious that the position of imperial concubine fell on others, so they all tried every means to arrange their own people in so that they could gain power from it.
"Isn't it just a prince's concubine, what is the relationship with my prosperous Northern Dynasties?" The queen still said coldly: "Since they are anxious to be loyal to me, I will follow them."
The queen knew that the court officials were humble and she simply followed the wishes of those people. She wanted to see how powerful those who were ill-hearted could have to shake the court. Besides, she always wanted to prove that Gao Yuanshang was not as unbearable as rumored, so she happened to kill two birds with one stone.
Just as Gao Jin looked at the queen with an unknown face, the queen smiled indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for you. The matter of the eldest prince's appointment as a concubine is fully handed over to me. I promise to give the emperor a satisfactory reply in the shortest time."
Gao Jin believed that with the queen's eyesight and her usual methods, among the thousands of people, there were some outstanding candidates. However, this kind of thing that should have been done by the palace people, but she had to be wronged to do it herself, which was a bit inconsistent with her identity. So he pretended to be uncertain and said, "Is Rong'er going to find someone personally?"
"Not everyone dares to think of a position in the Northern Dynasties." A sharp expression appeared in the queen's deep eyes. She would not allow anyone to shake Gao Yuanshang's position, even Gao Jin. So her words could be said to be warning those officials with other intentions, or to hint to Gao Jin.
If Gao Jin hadn't been the cold moment when he caught the queen, he would have almost forgotten that the person in front of him was not only his queen, but also a killer who could not blink.
Gao Jin also knew in his heart that the queen only wanted to protect her son, and he was optimistic about Gao Yuanshang, the eldest son, but in addition to his military achievements, he was reluctant to be granted a concubine, and also left such unbearable rumors. He naturally was anxious and worried about Gao Yuanshang.
Fortunately, the queen was willing to choose a concubine for Gao Yuanshang himself. This was a serious illness in his heart, so he said with a melancholy face: "I have to worry about this matter, I am really ashamed."
Seeing Gao Jin so frowning, the queen also said with mercy: "The emperor is so ruthless. He can share your worries, that is, he will share your worries for me. Besides, Shang'er is also my child. It is worth worrying about my children. The emperor doesn't have to worry about me."
Gao Jin held the queen's hand and said with a grievance and emotion: "When will Rong'er be able to think about herself selfishly? I will feel better."
The queen just curled her lips slightly. She had no intention of leaving a way out for herself, but she blurted out inexplicably: "Since the emperor said that, I dared to remember that I am selfish once with the emperor. Maybe I will really make use of it once."
"I allow you to remember that you are selfish. As long as you want to use it, I can help you at any time." Gao Jin didn't think too much, because he believed in the queen's heart, just as he believed in himself. Even if the queen made some requests, he believed that it would never exceed the bottom line between them, so he was willing to give her this promise.
"As soon as the emperor opened his golden mouth, it was an imperial edict. I received the edict." The queen said, and stood up and knelt down. Gao Jin also got up in time to support her, and smiled gently, "Why do you and my husband need great gifts?"
Even though they have been with each other for many years, even though they are as strong as water, even if they are already middle-aged, the feeling of heartbeat between each other has never faded. The queen looked at Gao Jin's gentle starry eyes, and she seemed to have returned. At that time, she was infatuated with his girlish feelings, so she lowered her eyes with red glow on her face.
Gao Jin looked at the queen with a slightly shy expression, and he curled up the corners of his mouth even more charmingly. At this moment, they all seemed to have returned to that young age. At that time, they had all loved, hated, and sad because of their youth. Now that they have accumulated those pains, they can still find a different but similar scene.
Gao Jin was immersed in the ignorance of his youth, so he said tenderly: "For many years, Rong'er is still so charming."
Even if the years and months are settled, they can't settle down. A woman's shyness in praise of her beloved, and even the mother of the country, she can't separate herself from being a woman. So she said a little awkwardly: "The emperor is tired, I'm going to order someone to serve you to bed."
After the queen finished speaking, she rushed to escape Gao Jin's gentle gaze, but in her eager actions, she obviously avoided her intentionally, so Gao Jin grabbed her and said with a serious and sad look on her face: "Does the queen dislike me for being old, or just dislike me?"
