Here is Bonus Chapter for you~
Hearing the Emperor say this, Xu Lingyi felt pleased, but she still kept her head down and refused to speak.
Of course, she wanted to enter the palace. The palace was the most powerful place in the world. Only by entering the palace could she obtain the power she wanted and take revenge on the people she wanted to take revenge on.
She had known all along that the Emperor was ruthless; after he ascended the throne, he killed more than a dozen of his imperial brothers.
Not to mention the women and retainers in these princes’ mansions, countless of whom died tragically.
Although her father enjoyed His Majesty’s deep trust, he had always been very respectful in His Majesty’s presence and had never dared to overstep his bounds.
Her father once said, “His Majesty trusts me because of the bond we formed when we grew up together, and also because of my loyalty and humility. There are generals in this world who are more capable than I am. The fact that I was able to climb to this position is all thanks to His Majesty’s favor.”
“In the court, eight or nine out of ten people who hold high positions are His Majesty’s confidants. They are loyal to His Majesty for life. Although some people have become disloyal in recent years, they are all under His Majesty’s control.”
“His Majesty has seen it all and kept it in mind. If he hasn’t acted yet, it’s because he’s waiting for the right moment to strike decisively.”
“However, His Majesty has never been an incompetent ruler. He always remembers what his loyal ministers have done for him and will never easily hurt the feelings of his meritorious ministers. Therefore, our Xu family will always be loyal ministers, always loyal to Your Majesty.”
Xu Lingyi was still young at the time. She remembered that not long after her father finished speaking, the Lin family girl she knew never appeared at the banquet again, and the entire Lin family was executed.
Xu Lingyi understood that such an emperor valued the power in his hands extremely highly and was unwilling to relinquish it even slightly.
She thought that if the Emperor had normal fertility, he would probably have many sons, and with so many sons, they would no longer be valuable.
By the time his sons grew up, the Emperor was gradually aging. The father and sons would inevitably turn against each other, and if his power was threatened, he would even turn his blade against his own sons.
Throughout history, there have been far too many emperors who killed their sons.
Fortunately, the Emperor is now infertile and has no sons. Therefore, the children she bears are not a threat to the Emperor, but rather his lifeline, preventing his empire from falling into the wrong hands.
He will fully support her children.
“Your Majesty, do you wish for me to enter the palace?” Xu Lingyi asked, her voice choked with emotion.
The Emperor lifted her chin, revealing a pale face streaked with tears, making Xu Lingyi look pitiful.
“Your Majesty and I met by chance. If Your Majesty does not like me, I will not enter the palace to avoid putting Your Majesty in a difficult position.”
Xu Lingyi’s eyes were blurred with tears.
She wouldn’t make a statement first, nor would she accept any choice between the two. The Emperor would choose first, and then she would choose.
The Emperor was somewhat surprised that she was actually thinking of him.
“Of course, I like you. There are not many young and beautiful women like you. If you were to enter the palace, I would make you a Fei1妃, fēi: high-rank concubine. The imperial harem rank will be explained in detail in a few chapters.. I just think that you are still young enough to spend the rest of your life in the deep palace. After all, I am much older than you. If I am gone one day and you have no children, your life will be even more difficult. You are a daughter of the Xu family. The Xu family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, so I am willing to choose you.”
He was always tolerant and generous toward his confidants.
Xu Lingyi shook her head: “I am already His Majesty’s woman. I have given myself to His Majesty, so naturally, I must enter the palace. A woman cannot serve two husbands. If His Majesty does not want me, then I can only kill myself by hitting my head against a wall.”
Xu Lingyi expressed her stance.
Her voice was soft and gentle, carrying the tenderness and beauty of a young girl, but the words she spoke were extremely loyal and resolute, showing the demeanor of her father.
