The Destiny that Hasn't Ended
CHAPTER 20 "THE CONCUBINE ???"
"Whatever your request, but not the concubine" said a gold-robed man sitting on the throne presiding over a morning meeting in the hall with the ministers.
"Your Majesty, you have been married to the Empress for 1 year but until now the Empress has not been able to give children" said Minister Wei from the right side.
"Right, Your Majesty, with our concubine, we think you can immediately get offspring" Zhang said.
"Saint !! You think the Empress can't give me offspring?!" xuan said raising his voice.
"But it's been 1 year. After all, there is not a single kingdom that does not have concubines" the Wei minister added.
"Why so in a hurry? I'm still very healthy, I haven't had children for a while I don't think it's a problem. What are you guys fussing about?" said Xuan who returned to speaking calmly.
"Your Majesty, heredity is the most important thing in any kingdom. Please reconsider" said Minister Guo.
"You guys are so stubborn" Xuan muttered softly.
"So who are you going to ask to be my concubines? Minister Wei's daughter? Minister Zhang's daughter? Or Minister Yang's daughter? or maybe Minister Yun's daughter?" sindir Xuan made the ministers bowed.
"For this I suggest to do selection selection concubine. And also this can be left to the Queen Mother to lead this selection directly" said Guo's minister gave advice.
"Why aren't you the only ones who are the leaders of this kingdom? You guys are so good at talking" Xuan muttered softly.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider" said Minister Wei.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider" said the entire minister.
Meanwhile in the Nu Huang pavilion was seen Lin Zi who was being examined by the healer for having just fainted.
"Tabib, at the end of this my digestion is not good. What exactly am I sick of?" asked Lin Zi at the healer who was still examining Lin Zi's pulse.
"Good news Your Majesty, good news" the healer said with a smile made Lin Zi confused.
"Congratulations Your Majesty, you have been pregnant. This Jing Kingdom will soon have offspring"
"I... am pregnant?" muttered Lin Zi as if in disbelief.
"Congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations." said Ruyu, glad to hear the news.
"Tabib, this I ask you to keep it a secret first. Don't tell anyone even His Majesty the Emperor"
The doctor looked surprised. Good news, why do you want to be kept secret?
"Why Your Majesty? This is good news. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be very happy to hear it" Ruyu asked.
"I want to surprise him. At the end of the day he was very busy taking care of the government. I want to find a good time to tell him" Lin Zi explained.
Ruyu and the healer agreed to keep this matter red for a while. The physician saluted and walked out of the pavilion. Outside he crossed paths with the Emperor who was walking towards the Nu Huang pavilion.
"Zi'er what happened to you?" xuan said as he entered the room.
"Honor Your Majesty the Emperor" Ruyu bowed.
"Stand up" Xuan said receiving Ruyu's respect.
"Zi'er I passed by the palace healer outside, are you sick?" xuan asked the girl sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Jing Xuan, I want to tell you something" Lin Zi said.
"I also want to tell you something" Xuan muttered somewhat doubtfully.
The two of them also walked towards the lotus pond hut to talk. On the road, they both remained silent. Even so, a happy face was drawn on Lin Zi's face while Xuan looked like he had a lot of thoughts. Soon they had been standing on the bridge over the blooming lotus pond.
"I.." muttered Lin Zi and Xuan simultaneously.
"You go first." said Lin Zi asking Xuan to speak first.
"The next door will be a selection of concubines." said Xuan rather hesitantly.
"Consieur?" Lin Zi was flabbergasted.
"The ministers urged me to immediately conduct a selection of concubines..."
"And you agreed?" asked Lin Zi in a low tone and a disappointed expression.
"I have no choice..."
"Alright" muttered Lin Zi making Xuan realize that the girl agreed to it by force.
"Zi'er are you angry?"
"Where dare the servant get angry at His Majesty? After all, this country will be empty without a concubine, right?" said Lin Zi with a quip.
"Why are you talking like that? No matter how many concubines in this country, you are the only one I love" Xuan insisted trying to console the girl in front of him.
Lin Zi's tears were even reluctant to drip. His heart kept raging. Not knowing what was going to happen in the future, Lin Zi was already reluctant to put high expectations again. Everything did not go according to his expectations.
"Only me? If it was just me, could you leave your throne for me? In the end the Empress was just a status" Lin Zi said
"Do you have to be so selfish?" xuan's repulsive words made the girl look at him sharply.
"Agois?"
"You're only thinking about yourself" Xuan added unwillingly to lose.
"True, I always think of myself! Then what about you? Did you think of me when you made that decision? Didn't I agree to it, too? On what basis do you say that I'm selfish?" said Lin Zi expressing her feelings.
Xuan was speechless looking at Lin Zi's tears that were starting to drip. The previously cheerful Lin Zi was now shedding tears.
Lin Zi left Xuan alone on the bridge looking at the lotus flower with glassy eyes.
"Your Majesty the Empress... What happened?" tanya Ruyu saw Lin Zi enter the room while crying.
"******** rancid! You striped-nose guy! Everything is the same! King fucker!" muttered Lin Zi cursing.
"Your Majesty the Empress, you must not curse His Majesty the Emperor like that. If anyone hears, you can be beheaded" Ruyu said.
"Your Majesty, Empress, if you say your matter may be a servant can help" said a man dressed in eunuchs.
"Next week there will be a selection of concubines." said Lin Zi.
Those words left Ruyu and Zhen Xi flabbergasted.
"If for this matter, the servant is only a eunuch, it cannot help His Majesty" Zhen Xi said.
"Then has Your Majesty said that Your Majesty is pregnant?" ask Ruyu.
Lin Zi simply shook her head while pouting.
"The Empress, if you say it to His Majesty the Emperor, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will understand and cancel the selection of concubines" Ruyu said.
"Xuan is not an easy person to soften. He won't change his mind even if I say it" murmured Lin Zi.
"What's wrong with trying?"
"But we just had a fight... Ruyu, then you will accompany me to the TaiJing pavilion to meet Jing Xuan" said Lin Zi then wiping away her tears.
Lin Zi went to the kitchen to make Jing Xuan's favorite mooncake. After he finished making it, he immediately led him towards the TaiJing pavilion accompanied by Ruyu.
But while in the front yard of the pavilion, he was hit by a young woman wearing pink hanfu who made the cake Lin Zi brought fall apart.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Servant really did not intentionally do it" said the woman while slightly bowing salute.
"I've never seen you in this palace before and what makes you seem rushed?" asked Lin Zi.
"So Her Majesty the Queen Mother brought the servant to meet His Majesty the Emperor and asked the servant to make tea so the servant hurriedly"
"Mother Suri? You are..."
"Hamba, daughter of Wei's minister, Wei Liu Ying" she said.
"So you were one of the concubine selection participants." murmured Lin Zi.
"really. Her Majesty The Empress servant must immediately go make tea, I am afraid to make Her Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Queen Mother wait too long"
"Go away" said Lin Zi letting the woman go.
"But Her Majesty the Empress. your homemade cake.." murmured Ruyu looked at the cake strewn across the ground.
"I can make it again later, let's go back" said Lin Zi with a face that looked somewhat disappointed.
