Chapter 617: Determined to Keep One's Word
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyu took two steps forward...
“Yue’er, I heard everything Yue’er said just now;
I am going to say next, please listen to me patiently, Yue'er, okay?"
Facing Xiao Jingyu's pleading eyes, Leng Rongyue couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded slightly.
A warm smile appeared on Xiao Jingyu's lips.
“Yue’er, I know what Yue’er is thinking;
But... Yue'er, have you ever thought that your ideas may be a little subjective and taken for granted?
For example, ever since I knew what kind of person Qinxing Hou Leng Xian was;
After what crimes he committed...
My father and mother were just speaking up for your mother;
At the same time, I feel more pity for Yue'er's loneliness for so many years.
But I never thought that Leng Xian’s matter would affect the engagement between Yue’er and me.
Furthermore, I shamelessly go to the Anguo Mansion to visit Yue'er every day, and... I also eat for free every day...
My father and mother wait eagerly in the palace every day for me to bring them all kinds of delicious food from Yue'er.
They regarded Yue'er as their most beloved junior;
As their future... uh... daughter-in-law.
This point...has never been shaken by Leng Xian's unbearableness.
Take this time for example, Yue'er and I went to the execution ground with the Anguo family to watch the execution;
They also came to Qingguo Temple to worship Buddha.
My father and mother know all of this.
Moreover, not only did they not stop me, they also agreed that I could accompany Yue'er.
Doesn’t this explain the attitude of my father, the emperor, and my mother?
As for... what Yue Er is worried about... the ministers in the court submitted a memorial to the emperor, advising him to cancel our engagement and withdraw the imperial decree granting us marriage...
Yue'er should know that the emperor's words are always golden, not to mention that it is an imperial edict written clearly and plainly!
How can we cancel it so easily?
Can you take it back just like that?
A man without integrity cannot stand, let alone the emperor, how can he go back on his word?"
Seeing that Leng Rongyue remained silent after Xiao Jingyu had said so much, he continued, "Yue'er, you must believe in my father.
You have to believe that my father... will not be easily swayed by a few so-called advices from court officials!
In my memory, my father has always been a man of his word, and his words are as solid as a mountain!"
Xiao Jingyu seemed to have thought of something, and a smile instantly appeared on his handsome face, "Yue'er should know that emperors in every dynasty have three palaces and six courtyards, and many concubines.
But why are my father and mother the only ones who can practice monogamy?
And how can they still be together in love till now?"
Hearing Xiao Jingyu mention the love between the current emperor and the queen, Leng Rongyue couldn't help but admire them, and at the same time, she was a little curious...
Let’s not talk about the different era and world I’m in now…
Just what I knew in my previous life, in the thousands of years of history, how many emperors of each dynasty lived to the end of their lives with only one person?
I guess during these twenty years, Emperor Hong De must have faced countless temptations and pressures, right?
Leng Rongyue was thinking about it when she heard Xiao Jingyu continue to say: "Yue'er, think about it...
From the time my father came of age to when he was appointed Crown Prince by the late Emperor, how many court officials wanted to send their daughters and nieces to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, to be by my father's side!
After my father ascended the throne, in the first few years, the ministers in the court were eager to submit memorials to the emperor every day to persuade him to select beauties from the imperial concubines to fill his harem!
Not only that, some of them, seeing that they could not persuade my father, simply turned their spearheads and impeached my mother...
They said my mother was overbearing and jealous, only caring about enjoying her own favor and not thinking about expanding the royal family and having children...
I am not fit to be the queen of a dynasty and the mother of a country, so I urged my father to depose the queen. "
Leng Rongyue listened quietly to Xiao Jingyu's story.
She could imagine how annoyed and troubled Emperor Hongde and the Empress must have been when they faced all this!
"In order to get women into the harem and fight for power and profit for them in the previous dynasty, they did not hesitate to use all kinds of means, it can be said that they would use every possible means!
As for those women, they have abandoned their modesty and integrity for the sake of their greed for fame and power.
In order to get close to my father and enter Jingyue's harem, they have used all kinds of tricks and schemes, and have been willing to do so one after another."
When Xiao Jingyu said this, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corners of his lips.
“My father and my mother fell in love at first sight, and they became lovers after seeing each other again.
When my mother married my father, he was just a prince.
The only condition my mother agreed to the marriage was:
Stay together for the rest of your life and never betray each other.
If you can respond, you will get married;
If you don’t respond, stay away!
Even after marriage, if there is betrayal, the couple will separate immediately and never see each other again!
Regardless of any changes in my father's status and identity in the future, this agreement will remain unchanged.
If I break my oath one day, my father will not be able to use his status and position to suppress my mother and prevent her from leaving.
My mother swore that she would never share a husband with other women!
My father agreed immediately.
And write this oath directly in black and white on paper and press your fingerprints on it.
He also added at the end: If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Hearing this, even Leng Rongyue, who came from the modern era, was shocked.
She even suspected that this emperor and empress had also traveled through time from the modern era;
Or it could be the reincarnation of a modern soul.
However, judging from the fact that they did not recognize the fresh fruits and food that Xiao Jingyu had sent into the palace, they must be people from this strange era.
Because of this, their cherishment of the concept of "true love only" is even more precious!
Xiao Jingyu looked at Leng Rongyue with pride and said, "Yue'er, you have seen with your own eyes what my father and mother look like now...
To my mother, my father kept his promise and did not let her down;
I didn't break my original oath!
Yue'er, can you believe that my father is a man of strong will and will do what he says? "
