739 Domineering Consort Yun, Announced to the World (4)
“It’s a superior tiger skin.” The Emperor said.
Consort Yun was stunned. She grabbed the tiger’s skin and looked at it. “I’m covered by a tiger.”
Her adorable look made the Emperor laugh. After laughing, he could not help but feel sad. She had suffered too much over the years and could not even recognize the tiger skin. If it were the Empress…
Thinking of the woman who had harmed the royal family, the Emperor’s face was covered in a layer of darkness.
Consort Yun lay down again. “Your Majesty, why are you here? If there’s nothing else, I’ll continue to bask in the sun.”
In other words, he could leave now.
If Consort Yun had said this in the past, the Emperor would have been furious. However, when he thought about how he had misunderstood and owed her for so many years, he could not be angry.
He wanted to beg for their forgiveness. He wanted to use the next few years to make up for what he owed them. However, he suddenly did not know what to say.
Without the two-faced Empress, Consort Yun felt that the air was much fresher. After basking in the sun for a while, she felt so comfortable that she yawned.
Seeing that Consort Yun was about to fall asleep, the Emperor finally made up his mind and said, “I was wrong in the past.”
“Your Majesty is here to apologize?” Consort Yun looked at him in shock.
“Just… just treat it as it is.” The Emperor said with some embarrassment, “I misunderstood you and caused you to suffer.”
Consort Yun sighed. A cold wind blew, and she felt a little cold again. She pulled the tiger skin blanket on her body and said calmly, “It’s all in the past. I’ve already let go. Your Majesty, let go. Don’t take it to heart.”
“You’re willing to forgive me?” The Emperor’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Consort Yun shook her head. “I didn’t forgive Your Majesty. I let myself go.”
The Emperor was confused and did not understand what she meant. Consort Yun did not intend to explain further to him. She closed her eyes and went to sunbathe. However, there was one sentence that the Emperor understood, and that was that she had not forgiven him.
“What will it take for you to forgive me?” he asked.
Consort Yun closed her eyes slightly and said perfunctorily, “Alright, I’ve forgiven Your Majesty. Please go back, Your Majesty. With such a big thing happening in Nanzhao, Your Majesty must be very busy. There’s really no need to waste time and energy on me. Isn’t it good to treat me coldly like before?”
Consort Yun had chased him away, but the Emperor stubbornly misunderstood. He sighed and said, “It was my fault in the past. I shouldn’t have neglected you for so many years.”
“Don’t.” Consort Yun held her forehead tiredly. She just wanted to enjoy the sun quietly. Why was it so difficult?
The Emperor silently counted his sins in his heart and said sincerely to Consort Yun, “I plan to make you my empress.”
“What? What?” Consort Yun sat up like a frightened bird!
Seeing her excited expression, the Emperor’s eyes curved and he smiled knowingly. “I want to make you my empress and let you take over the Central Palace.”
Consort Yun was now sure that she had not heard wrongly. This old thing really had the intention to give her the position of empress. It was not enough for her to be a consort, but she had to be an empress? Wouldn’t she have to face him every day? On the first and fifteenth day of the new year, she had to sleep with him according to the ancestral rules?
Consort Yun’s expression became impatient. “Your Majesty, you just deposed the Empress, and yet you can’t wait to establish a new empress. Aren’t you afraid that the ministers will object?”
The Emperor said, “The ministers won’t object. You’ve worked hard all these years…”
Consort Yun interrupted him with a sneer. “Ha, weren’t you calling me a lunatic a few days ago? In the blink of an eye, I’ve worked hard and achieved high merit? Are your ministers blind or stupid?”
The Emperor was embarrassed. “I only know that you’ve been wronged now. You had no choice in the past.”
Consort Yun pursed her lips. “No, leave the position of empress to someone else. The world is so big. Any one of them would be more virtuous than me.”
The Emperor sighed slowly. “Are you still angry with me?”
“No, I really didn’t!” Consort Yun said seriously.
“Then why don’t you want to be the empress?” The Emperor asked.
Consort Yun looked at him strangely. “Why must I want to be the empress? Do I have to be like that woman if she wants to be?”
The Emperor explained, “That’s not what I meant…”
Consort Yun interrupted him again. “Then what does Your Majesty mean? Back then, Your Majesty didn’t ask me and included me in your harem. Now, you didn’t even ask me and want to make me your empress. From the beginning to the end, Your Majesty has never cared about what I want! Your Majesty only cares about what you’re willing to give me!”
