Chapter five hundred and fiftieth foregone conclusion
"You did a favor, but you gave me a headache. The Queen Mother has already appointed a girl from the Yingge family. Even if she hasn't been known to the world, she can't change it just by changing it." Having said that, Yinzhen said
There was no displeasure in his voice.
Ling Ruo took her hand out of his palm and gently rubbed his temples, "So the emperor didn't agree?"
"You guessed wrong this time. It's rare for Hongshi to take the initiative to ask me for something. This is a good sign. If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will return to his previous cowardly appearance. What's more... he will eventually
He is my son, and I don't want him to marry a woman I don't like when he has a choice." Yinzhen's voice was a little erratic, and he thought of himself. At that time, he was also unwilling to marry Nala.
But was forced to accept it.
"I promised him that I would consider this matter, but the details will have to wait until I discuss it with the Queen. After all, the Queen has already decided on this matter."
Ling Ruo was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty...are you still not ready to let Fourteen Belle go?"
"Old Fourteen..." Yinzhen's eyelids drooped slightly and he said indifferently: "When he calms down and is willing to call me Emperor, it won't be too late to let him go."
Ling Ruo knew that Yunzhen had always been dissatisfied with Yinzhen's ascension to the throne. In addition, Yunzhen and others made up lies, saying that what Kangxi said before his death was that he was the fourteenth prince, and that it was Yinzhen who corrected the imperial edict and took away the throne.
The throne belongs to him.
"But he is the emperor's brother after all. Besides, if the emperor doesn't let him go, it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to let him go." Every time he thought of this, Ling Ruo felt sad for Yinzhen, because he was obviously following the order of the late emperor.
The successor to the throne has never done anything, yet he is being slandered like this.
"If he doesn't come out, it's just because the Queen is unhappy; but if he comes out, once he is tempted to do something irreversible, I'm afraid the Queen will be heartbroken. So, let me continue.
Become this evil person, at least this way, you can save the life of the fourteenth old man."
"Your Majesty." Yinzhen's words made Ling Ruo feel heartbroken. The world would always see the emperor who was aloof and dominating the world, and had no idea of the pain behind him. "One day, the Queen Mother will understand what the emperor has said.
Hard work."
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." Yinzhen gently stroked Ling Ruo's cheek and said with a lonely and helpless smile: "Besides, don't you understand me?"
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, but just put her face closer to his cold palm...
The next day, Yinzhen went to Cining Palace to pay his respects. After sitting for a while, Wu Yashi told him about Hongshi's direct descendant Fujin, saying that he had chosen the daughter of the Yingge family, and asked Yinzhen to order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for her wedding.
One thing.
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry." Yinzhen rubbed the agarwood beads on his fingertips, thought about it and said, "The day before yesterday, Hongshi came to see my son, and he said that he liked the girl from the Asoli family more.
I want to marry him as my direct descendant Fu Jin."
"What?" Wu Yashi was suddenly startled and asked again: "Is this really what the second elder brother meant?"
Listening to the suspicion in her words, Yinzhen felt a pain in his heart. In E Niang's heart, I am afraid that what any slave said was more credible than his biological son. It is really disturbing that mother and son are suspicious of each other.
Feeling chilled. Thoughts like this, her face showed no trace of anything, and she said calmly as before: "This is natural. If the Queen doesn't believe it, she can summon Hongshi and ask."
Wu Yashi glanced back and forth on Yinzhen's face several times, and the suspicion gradually receded, but there was a hint of displeasure in his expression. He pressed the gold-embroidered sleeve and said: "Since the second elder brother has someone he likes, why didn't you tell him in the first place?
You have to wait until the Ai family has chosen someone before going to tell the emperor."
"Hongshi is still young after all, and he lacks thought when doing things." After saying this, Yinzhen said again: "But he is brave enough to express his thoughts, Huang Eniang, don't you think so?
"
"Let's not talk about whether it is the Ai family or not." Wu Yashi turned her eyes, and a little sharpness formed in the corners of her fine-lined eyes, "Looking at the emperor's intention, it seems that he wants to agree to the second elder brother?"
Yinzhen bowed in his chair and said with a smile: "Yes, since Hongshi wishes it himself, we elders should grant it to him, so as to avoid Hongshi blaming us in the future."
"Confused!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yashi had already shouted heavily: "In matters of marriage, we always follow the orders of our parents and the words of our elders. When will it be our turn to make the decision? This is the case for ordinary people, not to mention the royal family.
"
"But Hongshi doesn't like the girl from the Yingge family. As the saying goes, a forceful melon is not sweet, so why force him?" Yinzhen's reaction to Wu Yashi was not surprising. Wu Yashi is a person who attaches great importance to ethics and rules.
It is by no means an easy thing for a person to change her mind.
Wu Yashi looked at him for a while and said: "The emperor has said so many things, just to ask the Ai family to take back their lives. If the girl from the Asoli family is really of outstanding character, the Ai family will naturally be willing to grant it. But as far as the Ai family knows, that Suo family
Chuo Luo Jia Mo is not only seventeen years old, but also mediocre in all aspects, including family background.
, everything is far inferior to the daughter of the Yingge family. How can such a person be the second elder brother's direct descendant? Besides, the Ai family had already donated the White Jade Luan Phoenix Pedestal to Nalalan Ling that day. The emperor should know what this means.
, and now the sudden change has ruined not only the face of the Ai family, but also the face of the entire royal family."
Hearing this, even Yinzhen found it quite difficult. Giving a jade pendant as a gift is equivalent to a marriage agreement. Just like Wu Ya said, if you go back on your promise, even if the Yingge family dare not say anything, the entire royal family will be almost disgraced.
.
Seeing Yinzhen frowning and saying nothing, Wu Yashi said calmly: "Emperor, whether you want to sacrifice the face of the entire royal family for the second elder brother's temporary liking, you can decide for yourself. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
After a long time, Yinzhen sighed and said: "I understand, please rest assured. After I return, I will issue an order for Hongshi to marry the daughter of the Yingge family. If the emperor has no other instructions, I will
I will retire first."
Wu Yashi nodded without any further restraint. After Yinzhen walked out of Cining Palace, Wu Yashi said to Xiao Xiazi who was hesitant to speak next to her, "Do you think it's strange?"
"Yes." Xiao Xiazi has been serving Wu Yashi for decades. It can be said that he has watched her step by step from an official woman, so when facing Wu Yashi, he is not as afraid as other palace officials.
Being cautious, he squatted down and beat Wu Ya's legs while saying, "I don't understand why the Queen Mother deceived the Emperor."
That day, when Nalalan Ling and the Long family entered the palace, he had been waiting beside them, so it was very clear that the Wu Ya family had never given any jade white Luan phoenix to Nalalan Ling.
"Hongshi is fooling around, how can the Aijia let the emperor also fool around with him? Nala Lanling is the most suitable candidate for the direct descendant of Fujin. As for Suo Chuo Luo Jia Mo..." Wu Yashi's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly:
"She made Hongshi so confused after just one meeting that she even ran to the emperor to ask for a marriage. What kind of good woman could she be? The Ai family would never let her marry into the royal family."
"In addition, you should go to Kunning Palace and tell the queen to discipline Hongshi properly. The Ai family doesn't want to see such willful behavior again."
"Yes." Xiao Xiazi lowered her head and agreed.
