Chapter 240 The Last Pride
Lan Qingwu raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Wen for a while. It seemed that Concubine Wen never accepted the Emperor Shenwu's appointment of her as empress from the bottom of her heart. Her noble birth and the pride of a noble lady gave her confidence and reward. She must find the reason from herself today to maintain her last shaky pride and dignity.
But in fact, when it comes to love, there is no reason. Little do we know that love arises from nowhere and becomes so deep!
Lan Qingwu said calmly: "Ask!"
Concubine Wen looked at Lan Qingwu's beautiful face, a flicker of resignation in her eyes: "I don't understand many things, but the one I don't understand the most is why I met Your Majesty first. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so why doesn't Your Majesty have me in his heart?"
Concubine Wen stepped forward and said, "Empress, you met His Majesty later, and when did you become engaged?"
Concubine Wen's eyes gradually turned red. "Your peach blossom coral bracelet, how did His Majesty carve it for you! And why did you delay getting married back then? I believe my family background and appearance are no less beautiful than yours, and my love for Your Majesty is no less than yours. What is it about me that I am inferior to you? Your Majesty simply cannot see me!"
Ruhan and Ruyan hurriedly took a few steps forward and carefully stood in front of Lan Qingwu.
Concubine Wen stopped in her tracks, muttering to herself, "His Majesty has finally crowned you as empress, and I won't accept this! I don't understand why I lost! I can't figure it out!"
Lan Qingwu couldn't help but frown slightly: "I have never thought of competing with you. Even if I became the queen, it was only because I could be your majesty's wife!"
Concubine Wen sneered, "Empress, you sound nice. His Majesty's wife is his queen! It seems that the Empress is just like me, not only for His Majesty, but also for our respective families!"
Lan Qingwu frowned even more. It seemed that Concubine Wen had already made up her mind. No matter what Lan Qingwu said next, Concubine Wen would probably not change her mind.
"Why don't I tell you!"
The figure of Emperor Shenwu appeared in the hall from the side and back. He walked up to Lan Qingwu and sat next to her.
Emperor Shenwu looked at the relentless Concubine Wen and said, "Concubine Wen, why do you have to be like this? There aren't that many considerations between the Empress and me. You don't need to be extraneous. Now that I have crowned her Empress, I only hope that you won't cause any more trouble in the future and respect her!"
Concubine Wen just couldn't stand Emperor Shenwu protecting Lan Qingwu, let alone protecting him so tightly. "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this! I just want the Empress to clear my confusion! Your Majesty, why are you so quick to protect the Empress? I really don't understand, Empress. I just hope you can clear my confusion."
Lan Qingwu shook her head gently. "Princess Wen, I have only one thing to say. If His Majesty is no longer His Majesty, then I will only be His Majesty's wife. I may have been His Majesty's wife even earlier! What about you? Your goal from the beginning was to become an empress, not His Majesty's wife! When His Majesty is no longer His Majesty, will you still insist on being His Majesty's wife?"
"You say you have a deep bond with His Majesty, but all of this is based on the time when His Majesty was the Emperor. Now that His Majesty is no longer the Emperor, will you, a descendant of a noble family, still choose His Majesty?"
Concubine Wen stared straight at Lan Qingwu: "What are you saying, Empress? His Majesty is clearly His Majesty! You...what's the point of your assumptions?"
Lan Qingwu said directly: "I am telling you, Concubine Wen, that when I met His Majesty, I only knew His Majesty as a person, and what I hope for is to be his wife, no matter what his status is!"
