Chapter 373: The Stakes
After the meal, You Xiaoya and Zhu Ziyu left the palace, and the emperor also told the Empress Dowager to leave, and after leaving the Changle Palace, a little eunuch followed the footsteps of Gonggong Wu and whispered a few words in his ear. After listening to what he said, Gonggong Wu waved his hand, and he hurried back to the Changle Hall in the dark.
"Your Majesty, I didn't say a word." Gonggong Wu followed in the footsteps of the emperor and said a word to him.
"I underestimated her." The emperor listened to Gonggong Wu's words, and after muttering for a while, he said this slowly.
Zhu Jingzun originally thought that today he would marry Zhu Jingrui and You Xiaoya, and intended to give them as side concubines, just to see what kind of existence this name is in front of such a woman who is praised by everyone.
But I didn't want Gonggong Wu to come back and say that this woman knew that she was being made a side concubine, and there was not much emotional change from beginning to end.
Later, or he did it intentionally, he asked the sixth princess Yan'er to bring her to the Queen Mother, also to see if she would be pampered and arrogant, and let the Queen Mother come forward to correct her position, but later facts proved that she really didn't mind.
After listening to the emperor's words, and seeing that the emperor was silent all the way, Gonggong Wu didn't say anything, and only after a while did he ask: "The emperor is going to ...... tonight?"
"Let's go to the Queen's Palace." didn't wait for Gonggong Wu to finish speaking, the emperor just replied to him.
"Yes, swing the Fengyi Palace-"
The queen didn't expect that the emperor, who had not come for many days, would come to her on a whim today, and she was more happy than puzzled.
"What does the queen think of that You clan?" The emperor looked down at the beautiful face leaning on his chest that still had charm but lacked the youthful beauty, he and the empress had been married for more than 20 years......
"If you talk about identity and status, she is indeed not worthy of the sixteenth prince. But...... Since it is liked by the sixteenth prince, he is also a little capable. The queen didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask her such a question, and her mind raced quickly. Said this compromise.
“…… Go to sleep. The emperor glanced at the queen again, and sighed slightly in his heart, the woman who was straightforward and quick to say anything to him back then has now become a person who can hide it.
He heard that the woman named You Xiaoya was with his brother. But can you say anything......
The queen obviously felt the emperor's mood change, but she didn't know how she suddenly became like this, so she could only respond. obediently leaned on the emperor and lay down.
After lying down, she began to wonder if she hadn't done a good job just now, so that the emperor suddenly became cold to her? She just said a word, could it be that she didn't say it right?
But what is the right thing to do?
You Shi is a grass people, in her identity. That's not worthy of the Sixteenth Prince in any way. But from the standpoint of the royal family, or from the standpoint of her husband, it was excellent. Although Prince Rui doesn't care about the affairs of the court, he is a prince who has a bad personality and is not very liked by the minister.
But his power in the rivers and lakes, as well as the shadow of heaven in his hands, is a big threat to his husband. So. If she gives her sixteenth uncle a princess with a good status and status, won't it add another pair of wings to his tiger?
This kind of thing. Not only did she feel that it was inappropriate, but her husband must also be extremely clear, so he would agree to the sixteenth prince marrying such a woman who had already been married and had become a widow.
This will not only not make the reputation of the sixteenth prince in the court better, but will stimulate those rule-abiding old ministers even more, and the sixteenth prince will be less threatening to her husband......
The queen glanced sideways at the man lying beside her, she knew these things in her heart, but at this time she could no longer say anything to him like she wanted to say to him when she was young.
He is a generation of kings, she is the queen of his six palaces, women have always been not involved in court politics, this is the rule set by the ancestors, she can not overpass, and dare not overpass, because the husband and wife of more than 20 years, she has understood his temperament, and knows that he will not like women who exceed the rules, so she can't touch his bottom line......
Why didn't she want to follow the woman and make a promise to him to 'be a couple for a lifetime'? Why don't she share it with him if she doesn't want to be happy, and she can talk to him when she's unhappy, and don't do it if she doesn't want to, but ......
After all, being in the emperor's family, there are many people who can't help themselves and are duplicitous.
…………
"Are you unhappy because of the emperor's holy decree that I became your side concubine?" After returning to the palace, You Xiaoya took care of Jin Yuanjiang's brothers and sisters and slept down, and Zhu Ziyu led her in the courtyard.
“…… I don't want you to be wronged! The corners of Zhu Ziyu's mouth moved, and finally he just said this.
"What grievances do I have that I am not wronged? In my opinion, it is not the emperor's decree that you can marry you. Besides, if he doesn't make this decree, then you don't plan to marry me? You Xiaoya turned her head sideways to look at Zhu Ziyu, still a little awkward in the moonlight.
"How can that be!" Zhu Ziyu said this to You Xiaoya, she was in a hurry, and marrying her was a certain thing, and it couldn't be changed! It won't change for a lifetime!
"That's right, those who are concubines and concubines are just a vain name in my opinion, because it doesn't change my determination to be with you." You Xiaoya smiled and moved her fingers, making the hands held by the two become ten-finger clasps.
"Xiaoya, I, Zhu Jingrui, have married you such a wife in my life, I want to leave you the best things in the world, but I am ...... here" Zhu Ziyu hated this annoying identity and power for the first time.
"Anyway, you can only marry me one in your life, so whether it's a concubine or a concubine, it doesn't make much difference to me, you don't have to think about it, it's annoying to watch."
You Xiaoya's temper has never been very good, at this time, he persuaded Zhu Ziyu with kind words, and the more he persuaded him, the more he got up, You Xiaoya simply didn't bother to persuade him, glanced at him, turned around and left. But how could Zhu Ziyu let her go alone, grabbed her hand and followed quickly.
"Don't bother, don't bother, I don't want to!" Zhu Ziyu turned his face when he saw You Xiaoya, knowing that she was distracting himself in another way, and her words really moved his heart with sweetness, so he hurriedly softened his voice, quite pitiful as if he was a scoundrel.
