"Mom, does she really want to marry my son? Why?" He had also asked this question just now, but Ling Ruo did not answer directly.
Ling Ruo did not answer his question immediately, but frowned and said, "You just said that the fifth elder brother also went to Zhongcui Palace, right?"
"Yes, just when Nala Xianyue ran out, Lao Wu ran to chase her, and I didn't have time to say a word to him."
Ling Ruo turned the palace fan in her hand, letting the bright red tassels gather and scatter under the handle, like raindrops and rootless duckweed. After a long silence, a cold voice escaped from her lips and teeth.
, "If Ben
If Gong is right, she went to great lengths to get close to Mingyu and use Mingyu to set up such a trap. The purpose is twofold, one is to sow the relationship between you and Hongzhou; the other is..." Ling Ruo's voice sounded
Pause, again
When she spoke, her voice was a bit colder than before, "She wants you not to let go of your hands and feet to deal with the Nala clan, and to control and embarrass you at every turn, because once she marries you as her direct descendant, the Nala clan will be yours."
In-laws, if you deal with your own in-laws without showing any mercy, what will the ministers in the court think, and what will the people in the world think? Even if you succeed in the end, they will say that you are ruthless and ruthless!"
"But no matter what the fate of the Nala clan is, they deserve it!" Hongli already hated the Nala clan deeply, and now he hates the Nala clan even more. If he hadn't tempered his character after the Fuzhou incident, he would have long ago
I can't bear it anymore.
"You know, I know, but others don't know, not even your Majesty." The bright red tassel was gently wrapped around the finger until it covered the entire slender finger, "So,
Once you are related by marriage, Yingge will have an extra talisman in his hand. Even if he cannot control it, and you are enthroned as emperor in the future, it will be enough to ensure that you will not kill everyone!"
"He's dreaming!" Hongshi said with a stern look on his face: "As long as I am still breathing, I will never let the Nala family have an easy time, I swear!"
Ling Ruo nodded, "Don't worry, let E Niang think of a solution."
Ling Ruo knew very well in her heart that Nala Xianyue could never become Hongli's direct descendant. This woman was too scheming and would not give in to Nala Lian. Even after entering the palace, Hongli ignored her. She
I will also think of ways to make things happen
Putting her next to you is simply asking for trouble. But when things get to this point, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to deal with the aftermath. Not only do you have to shut up the palace, but you also have to deal with Yingge when he gets into trouble.
Stop the mouths of everyone in front of you.
Just when Ling Ruo was thinking about the solution, there was a sudden noise outside. Ling Ruo said to Shui Xiu on the side: "Go and see what is happening outside. Why is it so noisy for no reason?"
Before Shui Xiu had time to agree, the noise had already come outside. This time, it was heard much more clearly than before. The palace man said eagerly: "Fifth Brother, you can't go in. You can only go in after the servants have informed you!"
"Go away!" Hong Zhou shouted angrily, insisting on entering the palace despite the palace guards' obstruction.
Seeing Hong Zhou like this, Ling Ruo sighed in her heart. Sure enough, what was supposed to come was coming. She couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. She shook her head and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, step back and let the fifth elder brother come in."
After receiving Ling Ruo's words, the palace people no longer stopped them and all retreated, allowing Hong Zhou with an angry face to walk in. After he entered the palace, Ling Ruo said: "Fifth brother, you are in a hurry to see me.
What's the matter?"
After Hong Zhou stared at Hong Li coldly, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive Hong Zhou for the crime that he is good at, but Hong Zhou does have a few words to ask the imperial concubine and the fourth elder brother."
Normally Hong Zhou always calls Hongli his fourth brother, but now he suddenly changes his name to fourth brother. Obviously he already has a grudge in his heart. As for where this grudge comes from, you can guess.
Ling Ruo turned around and sat down in the chair, saying, "If you have anything to say, just ask."
Hong Zhou raised his head, looked at Ling Ruo and said, "Excuse me, Concubine Xi, did you accuse Xianyue of my meeting with Xianyue? Did you say that she seduced me?"
Ling Ruo took a sip of the already cold tea and said calmly: "Hong Zhou, I have told you from the very beginning that what you see with your eyes may not be true, and the flawless moon may not be the flawless moon you see.
She...is not suitable for you."
"I know that the imperial concubine has a feud with the emperor, but Xianyue is not the emperor. You shouldn't overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke. What's more, she didn't seduce me at all. I have a good impression of her and want to invite her.
E Niang begged Huang Ama and gave her to me as my direct descendant. Why do you want to put all the blame on Xianyue?"
Hong Zhou's words were forceful and meant to be tit-for-tat, which made Ling Ruo very unhappy, but he still said patiently: "Hong Zhou, you are still young and have little experience. You are ignorant of many people and things.
You can only see the surface but not the essence, but I can say that I have watched you grow up over the years. I regard you as my own son. How could I harm you?"
Hong Zhou waved his hands vigorously, and his expression gradually became excited, "Yes, you are very kind to me and treat me as your own child, but after all, it is just like your own child. I am not your child. Why do you have to do everything about me?"
To make the decision, even who should I marry as my direct wife, I need your consent? You have a higher status than my mother-in-law, but so what, I am not your son, let alone your chess piece, you have no right to do this!
"
Hongli couldn't listen anymore and yelled: "Hong Zhou, E Niang is also doing it for your own good. How can you talk to E Niang like this!"
Before he could finish his words, Hong Zhou shouted back with a voice more ferocious than his, "Shut up! I haven't settled your matter with you yet!"
Seeing that the tension between the two brothers was getting tense, Ling Ruo said quickly: "Hong Zhou, how unbecoming are you of shouting and yelling like this? If you don't like the arrangements I have made for you, then I just don't interfere with the matter of my direct descendant Fujin."
You can discuss it with your mother-in-law."
Before Ling Ruo finished speaking, Hong Zhou had already said sarcastically: "What if I want to marry Xianyue?"
This time, before Ling Ruo could speak, Hongli couldn't help but rushed to Hong Zhou and said sternly: "Do you understand clearly or not that Nala Xianyue is not as simple as you think? She is more scheming than ten of you."
If you ask for more, you will be played around like a fool by her!"
Hong Zhou sneered and said: "Yes, I am a fool, but what about you? What are you? The dignified fourth elder brother, Prince Bao, actually molested a beautiful girl and behaved immorally. Now he actually has the nerve to teach me a lesson?"
"I have never molested Nala Xianyue. Everything was a trick by her. The purpose is to make you and my brother turn against each other. Do you understand it or not?!" After saying this, Hongli couldn't help but raise his voice, and he was so excited.
