Chapter 305 Asking for a Marriage
Concubine Shu felt her face hurting from time to time.
Although A Ce didn't say it clearly, she heard it. A Ce was saying that when he was a child, she, the mother-in-law, never took care of him. Now that he has grown up, he doesn't need the so-called care from her, the mother-in-law.
He thought she was too meddlesome. He was the prince now and his wings were strong. He didn't need her as a mother-in-law to control him!
In this way, the dinner passed in silence until Xiao Ce got up and left Changqiu Palace.
As soon as Xiao Ce left, Concubine Shu swept all the food on the table to the floor.
Nianyun hurriedly ordered people to clean up the mess on the ground, and advised softly: "My queen, please don't get too anxious. Your Highness must have said it unintentionally."
"Do you think he said this unintentionally? He is mocking me for not being favored by the emperor, and at the same time blaming me for not fulfilling my duties as a mother these years. Can you blame me for this?"
Nianyun didn't know what to say.
After all, what His Highness said is true. His Highness was very smart when he was a child, but usually the Empress will take the Prince to the East Palace only when the Empress wants to win favor.
When His Highness the Crown Prince was ignorant, he liked Concubine Shu very much. But later, His Highness the Crown Prince became aware of the matter and also knew some of Concubine Shu's thoughts.
Now that the empress has intervened in the affairs of the East Palace, and that person is Qin Liangdi, who is favored by His Highness, how can His Highness be happy?
But she didn't expect that His Highness would speak so bluntly and embarrass Concubine Shu.
"It's all Qin Liangdi's fault. If it weren't for her, Ace would not have said these hurtful words to me that hurt the relationship between mother and son!" Concubine Shu naturally put the responsibility on Qin Zhao.
Seeing this, Nianyun advised: "Since His Highness cares about Qin Liangdi, then from now on, the empress will have to deal with Qin Liangdi. Aren't there many ways to make His Highness pamper other women? How about letting some beauties into the East Palace? If His Highness
If you can see a sweetheart, Qin Liangdi will fall out of favor without the help of the empress."
She felt that this method was the best, as it would not hurt the mother-son relationship between Concubine Shu and His Royal Highness, and would also make Qin Liangdi fall out of favor.
"But beauties like Wu Liangyuan and Nian Su can't make Ah Ce fall in love. I'm afraid this is just a useless effort." Concubine Shu frowned.
Of course she knew that this was the best way, but Ace's eyes were higher than the tripod, and ordinary women looked down upon him. She thought that Niansu was good enough, and she had the opportunity to serve Ace nearby.
Nian Su was unable to seize such an opportunity, not because Nian Su was not good enough, but because A Ce's vision was too high.
"I think it's better to let His Highness get married as soon as possible. Since the establishment of our dynasty, there has never been a situation where the Crown Prince has not established a Crown Princess when he has reached 20 years old. The Queen will discuss it with His Highness the Crown Prince and let the Emperor make the decision. Maybe we can
It is a matter of life for His Highness the Crown Prince. Once His Highness has a Crown Princess, he will have a wife. Can His Highness not consummate the marriage with the Crown Princess?" Nianyun felt that this was the best way.
Otherwise, how could there be talk about starting a family and starting a business?
"I will go to the emperor to request an order." It must be said that Concubine Shu was moved.
Because Nianyun is right, only when A Ce gets married and has a wife, will there be someone to control him. As a mother and concubine, she can't control him, so why can't a wife control the entire backyard of the East Palace?
With the crown princess, Ace will have a legitimate son, and by then Qin's good wife will be nothing.
Having made up her mind, Concubine Shu gathered her energy and planned to go to the Yangxin Palace to discuss with the emperor the important matter of letting A Ce get married as soon as possible.
In the Yangxin Hall, the emperor exempted Concubine Shu from the ceremony.
The emperor has recently gained a lot of gray hair, which makes him look older under the light.
This is because Wu Guifei was sent to Wuye Mountain, and the emperor missed her so much that she aged quickly, right?
How could she be so fascinated by the emperor before?
Except for the dragon robe on his body and his outstanding appearance, what he saw before him was just like an ordinary man.
But it was this emperor that she had been chasing for more than twenty years, but he had always been lukewarm to her, just because she was not Concubine Wan or Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wan was once the wife of the late emperor. Perhaps because of this, the emperor loved her so much. It was a pity that she passed away early. After Concubine Wan, there was another Concubine Wu. She was never the match of Concubine Wu.
The imperial concubine has been oppressed for many years.
She thought this would be the end of her life, but unexpectedly, after Concubine Wu was confirmed to be unable to conceive a child, she was blessed by the emperor and even got pregnant with a dragon heir, and even got a boy.
At that time, the emperor favored Concubine Wu. Concubine Wu was arrogant and domineering, so she only allowed the emperor to favor her, so that the emperor rarely walked around the harem.
Later, Concubine Wu became infertile and the emperor had no son. Under such circumstances, she was pregnant with the emperor's heir, so of course she was highly valued.
That is to say, after giving birth to Ace, her life took a turn.
A Ce is her lucky star and a turning point in her life, but this son is not close to her mother-in-law, which also makes her very disappointed.
After A Cexiao, he became even more alienated from her as a mother. This is what makes her sad...
Coming out of the past, Concubine Shu remembered that she came to see the emperor on important matters, so she explained her purpose: "Ace will be twenty on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. In the past, he said he did not want to get married, and the emperor and his concubines were spoiled by him, but
Is it time to put this matter on the agenda now? I came here today specifically to request an edict, hoping that the emperor would grant Acé a marriage."
"This..." The emperor hesitated.
He also wanted to marry the prince. After all, he was not young, but he still had no heirs. This was an abnormal phenomenon in any dynasty.
As the prince, Xiao Ce has the obligation to spread the branches and leaves.
"The emperor can no longer indulge A Ce. A Ce said that he did not want to marry, and both I and the emperor obeyed his wishes, but how could he not be able to do anything for the royal family? I also heard that the East Palace
Among all the people in the backyard, Ace only asked Qin Liangdi to sleep with him, and the others were just decorations." Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and simply revealed this matter.
She felt that she could use the emperor's help to get rid of Qin Liangdi.
Since it was inconvenient for her to take action, it would be best to ask the emperor to take action.
If Ace doesn't respect her as a concubine, how can he still go against the emperor?
"I am the king of a country. I promised the prince that I would make the final decision on his marriage. If I go back on my word, I will probably make the prince feel cold." The emperor hesitated.
He values the prince very much, and the prince has made him worry-free since he was a child.
When the prince grew up, the only request he made to him was that he should decide on his own marriage. Last time, Concubine Wu also wanted Wu Xiyu to become the crown prince, but he did not agree and only agreed to the position of Liangdi.
Later, Wu Xiyu became Liang Yuan, and the prince's move clearly embarrassed him.
The prince is dissatisfied with even a good lady, let alone one who proposes a marriage for the prince?
