"Dissolving concubine Yuan?" His Majesty's eyes stared intently at Xiao Ti in disbelief, concubine Yi conveying such a request.
Xiao Yi nodded, looking back at His Majesty so boldly.
"Why did you ask me to divorce her?"
His Majesty asked then, while slightly making some distance with Xiao Yi.
"Because concubine Yuan deserved it."Xiao Yi Sahut.
"Are you jealous now?"
His Majesty asked worriedly.
Xiao Yi pulled the corner of his lips forming a knotty smile hearing His Majesty's question.
"I have not the slightest bit of jealousy towards others who cry blood for so expecting my place now in His Majesty's heart."
"Then what reason did you ask me to release concubine Yuan?"
"Because His Majesty must do it for Consort Yuan himself." Xiao Yi replied so firmly.
"Explain to me why I should do it."
"Because if Your Majesty doesn't do so, then Your Majesty and I will become even more sinful."
"What is the meaning of this sentence, Xiao Yi? What sin have you pinned on us over concubine Yuan?" His Majesty squinted his eyes.
"Sin for making his mind suffer for so long, accompanying His Majesty only as an invisible shadow. Even Her Majesty as her husband never touched her, as a wife. And I sinned for making her jealous and envious all her life, for getting what she could never have."Xiao Yi said softly.
"Do you want me to touch concubine Yuan?"
Xiao Yi's face instantly turned red upon hearing His Majesty's question.
"Does His Majesty feel moved to do so using His Majesty's feelings of love?" Xiao Yi turned around to ask a question.
His Majesty fell silent, his eyes watching Xiao Yi like a cat right now.
"I don't have any feelings for him. I just want you, Chenxing."
Xiao Yi smiled and returned His Majesty's gaze gently.
"Never do His Majesty do anything against his own feelings and conscience, if His Majesty comes to one of His Majesty's wives for satisfying the will of others and not because His Majesty loves him, then it is not happiness that His Majesty has given but contempt." Xiao Yi's voice was slow but like a slap to His Majesty.
"The husband and wife relationship, in fact, is the most sacred and sacred thing. Intimacy while uniting two different bodies is a manifestation of the union of the body, the deepest emotions and feelings. If done by coercion without love and affection, nothing more than temporary lust without taste."
That long sentence made His Majesty turn his gaze to the peach tree on the edge of the lake.
"Because of that, I never touched them!"
"If so, why would His Majesty keep them like prisoners in a golden cage. Like a beautiful decoration waiting to be broken in the glass?"
"Because of the ridiculous tradition handed down by this palace." His Majesty answered bitterly.
"A tradition of adjusting the times. However, this rule cannot be applied all the time. Dare to be different. Changing something wrong after a long time in hereditary is not a taboo thing, it is a must. A King is a leader and a protector, not an ordinary person who must listen and accept only if something is not appropriate."
"This tradition was done not without reason but to strengthen the kingdom of Yanzhi, and I was taught from the moment I learned to crawl to keep this kingdom intact, undivided, keep the good name of the predecessors, the founders of this kingdom."
"This kingdom will not simply collapse just because His Majesty chose his own wife, not given by others like a bribe."Xiao Yi's voice sharply greeted His Majesty's sentence.
"Xiao Yi, be careful in speaking, not everyone likes to listen to your opinion."His Highness spoke in low volume, he was worried that Xiao Yi was going over the line.
"Your Majesty sometimes has to be a little brave, so that the person who wants to take down His Majesty becomes a little afraid. As a king, making his own policy, without having to be fixated on bullying opinions, sometimes had to be done. Showing little fangs, without having to bite anyone else."
Xiao Yi fixed his seat then
Pour a cup of tea from the porcelain pot and give it to His Majesty.
"A cup of tea will be comfortable when it feels warm, if it is cold then it is no longer desired." Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, letting His Majesty enjoy the tea that was about to lose its heat.
"As well as women, they also have a period of bloom, like a flower in spring. Because the newly blooming flowers should be allowed to enjoy the beauty of the season, not let wither before they develop, meet autumn and become trash."
His Majesty released the glass in his hand slowly onto the table, like someone who was waiting, what else should he hear.
"Your Majesty, I once felt fear and suffering when I was made an offering concubine and even cursed everyone who sent me here. But.the ceiling is so good, giving His Majesty's heart to me, without having time to feel the pain of His Majesty's other concubines. I am not as fateful as concubine Nuo who turned evil behind her bars, unlike concubine Yuan who suffered from the hatred of others, unlike concubine Mei who bore a grudge for the envy and envy of unrequited love." Xiao Yi's eyes glared towards the still clear sky as the sun had already descended far from overhead.
"Do not sacrifice innocent women for reasons of power. They are also human beings who deserve a decent life. They deserve to live their own lives instead of being chosen without being given a chance to choose."Xiao Yi looked at His Majesty so deeply and affectionately.
"Having people with such feelings around His Majesty only adds a lot to hatred and evil.
Not even a cat dares to try to think of giving birth to a child there."Xiao Yi lowered his head afterwards, that last sentence was like telling his own heart.
"Maxing..." His Majesty took Xiao Yi's fingers and held them gently.
"Did concubine Yuan have told you, that she expects me to let go?"Ask Your Majesty, after all.
Xiao Yi nodded slowly.
"Let him remain in Shicuan, just call his father governor Chi Weiheng. Say, if he wants his son to live happily, let Consort Yuan live peacefully in Shicuan.
His Majesty removed him from the marriage bond, so that Consort Yuan would no longer meet danger. Reassure him that Shicuan Province remains a part of Yanzhi whether or not a concubine is sent from there, this will dampen the thought that His Majesty ignores his province, so as to allow for a rebellion as His Majesty feared.
Events after the poisoning of his son, certainly can make him understand, a child is more important than a power."
Xiao Yi bowed his body, full of supplication.
His Majesty looked at the head that was now lowered before him, his black hair, which was partly in the loop and partly unravelled it was like black silk so alluring.
Never imagined, a sacrificial concubine was able to think boldly and wisely. Then in a flat and warm voice, His Majesty spoke,
"I will grant your request...."
