Chapter 199: The Emperor Calls the Shots
No, of course she won't give up like this, she is Chi Xia, as long as she is unscrupulous, there is nothing she wants to get but can't get.
Chi Xia dragged his tired body back to the house, and the whole person was in a depressed mood and looked depressed. Chi Fangrui and the eldest lady were very distressed when they saw it, and asked, "What's wrong Xia'er, why did you become like this after going to the palace?" ”
Chi Xia looked up at Chi Fangrui, and there was already a thin layer of mist in his eyes. As if she had decided something, she suddenly threw herself into Chi Fangrui's arms and began to cry: "Daddy, my daughter is sorry for you, Daddy, my daughter knows that she is wrong!" ”
The eldest lady beside Chi Fangrui was frightened by her daughter's actions, and felt a little inexplicable, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Xia'er, if you have something to say slowly." ”
"Mother...... I ......" Chi Xia seemed to be unable to speak, Chi Fang Rui was anxious, and asked, "Do you have something to say to your parents?" ”
"My daughter was deceived, she was deceived by that prince!"
The two of them were taken aback and said, "Why do you say this? ”
"Yesterday, my daughter didn't return overnight, in fact, it was because of ......" Speaking of this, Chi Xia began to hesitate again.
The eldest lady suddenly had a bad premonition, and she couldn't help but tremble and said, "Xia'er, not yet, you and him have been!" ”
Chi Fangrui also threw an inquiring look at his daughter, and after Chi Xia nodded and admitted, the two of them only felt that the bang in their brains became a mess, and their hearts seemed to have stopped.
Chi Xia watched his parents' expressions change suddenly, and cried again: "My daughter is sorry for you, but the prince promised his daughter that he would definitely marry his daughter, and his daughter also believed him." Who knew that he hadn't heard the news for a few days, and when he went to the palace today, he didn't even admit it! ”
"You! How can you do such a thing! Chi Fangrui didn't expect that the daughter he had raised for so long turned out to be a woman who didn't abide by women's morals, so he was so angry in his heart that he subconsciously slapped Chi Xia away.
The eldest lady hurriedly stopped her, covered Chi Xia behind her, and defended her: "Master, you are confused, you still have to beat her when your daughter is like this!" ”
"Look at what she has become, where do you put my Chi Fangrui's face when this matter gets out!"
Chi Xia was very afraid of Chi Fangrui, so he drilled into his mother's arms vigorously, crying and asking his mother for help, saying, "Daddy, I was wrong!" Xia Er knows it's wrong, don't beat Xia Er! ”
The eldest lady looked really distressed, and said to Chi Fangrui: "Master! Obviously, that prince is unreasonable, since he has done such a thing, he will be responsible for our Xia Er! You should marry us Xia'er! Let's go, let's go into the palace and tell the emperor to go and comment on Xia Er! ”
The eldest lady's words reached Chi Xia's heart, and this was exactly what Chi Xia wanted. She nodded again and again, begging her father, "Daddy, help Xia'er!" ”
Chi Fangrui sighed, on one side was the leader he was loyal to, and on the other side was his daughter, now it was clear which was more important.
He asked, "If you want to convince the emperor, you must first have evidence, do you have anything on the prince as proof?" ”
Chi Xia nodded, and took out an intact jade pendant from his purse, the inky tassel with the white gradient cyan jade pendant, it looked like a finished thing.
"This is what he fell on that day, and he was thinking of returning it on the day of marriage......" Chi Xia's voice became lower and lower, and she stepped forward to hand the jade pendant to her father.
Chi Fangrui looked at the things in his hand, frowned, and then suddenly clenched tightly, and said, "Let's go, we'll enter the palace now." ”
In the palace, the emperor and the queen looked at the three members of the Chi family kneeling in front of them, the eldest lady and Chi Xia cried and begged the emperor to call the shots, and Chi Fangrui was also determined to make sure that the prince was responsible for Chi Xia before he was willing to leave.
Look at the jade pendant on the table again, how could the emperor not know it, this was a piece that he personally gave to each of their brothers, and the prince usually carried it closely.
Chi Xia has this thing, which is enough to show that she is not lying, the emperor is very helpless, and said to the eunuch: "Spread the prince over, I want to ask." ”
"Yes."
At this moment, the crown prince is still leisurely in his palace, unaware that the Chi family has made trouble in front of the emperor, and his evil deeds have been known to the emperor and queen.
It wasn't until he arrived at the Taihe Hall that he saw the cold faces of the three members of the Chi family and his father, and the queen's annoyed expression, that he realized that the other party had come to sue.
He trembled forward, forcibly controlled his will, and saluted, "See Father, Mother." ”
The emperor had nothing to hide, so he asked the prince, "Have you been messing around outside lately and causing trouble?" ”
The crown prince didn't expect Chi Xia to have evidence, and he said to the emperor: "No, father, the son didn't do anything." ”
The emperor pointed to Chi Xia beside him again and asked him, "Then do you remember her, when was the last time you saw her?" ”
"Erchen remembers that this is the young lady of the Chi family, and the last time I saw it seemed to be a palace banquet, it has been a long time."
The crown prince only saw that his father's face was getting more and more gloomy, and the queen couldn't stand it after all, so she persuaded the prince: "Tell your father everything you have done!" ”
"Queen Mother, the sons really haven't done anything, father, don't you believe the sons?"
"Lie to people, continue to lie to people," the emperor directly grabbed the jade pendant and threw it in front of the prince, yelling, "Look at what this is, how do you make me believe you!" ”
The jade pendant fell in front of the prince, and it lay there quietly, but it exploded in the prince's heart like a bomb, making his brain feel short-circuited instantly, and he didn't know what to say or do.
How could this thing be in her hands, no wonder she didn't find it after looking for a long time, but she didn't expect it to fall there that day! Damn, I blame myself for being careless, and now things really didn't run.
The prince knew that he couldn't continue to deceive people, so he was silent, seeing that the emperor was about to finalize the marriage, but the queen stood up and said: "Master Chi, Mrs. Chi, I'm really sorry, it's the palace's negligence in discipline that will let this rebel do this kind of thing." ”
She stood up and walked up to Chi Xia, gently touched her head, and comforted her, "Child, you have suffered. ”
Thinking that the queen was easy to speak, Chi Fangrui hurriedly said: "Niangniang, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to be responsible for my family Xia'er, we will naturally not publicize the ugliness of our family." ”
The queen sat back in her place and sighed, and said, "Master Chi, it's not that the palace disagrees, it's just that as the Chi family, if you want your daughter to be the crown princess, you may be talked about if you spread it." What's more, the crown princess already has a master, and Miss Chi can only be a concubine when she goes, and most of them are still wronged. ”
The eldest lady asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The queen said: "There are many rich children around this palace, some of them are rich and rich, and some of them are entangled in everything, as long as this palace matches you with matchmaking, I believe your children will be happy." ”
"Of course, the crown prince has done these things, and we should also make some compensation, the east and west palaces are ready, why don't you take a look?"
The queen waved her hand, and several maids came up with several huge lacquer boxes, which contained gold, silver, jewelry, and even some precious medicinal materials, each of which was of great value.
The use of money to compensate and the willingness to find a wife for his daughter almost solved all the worries of the Chi family. Compared with being the crown prince's side concubine, it seems that this also benefits more.
Chi Fangrui said: "This matter still has to be made by Xia Er, Xia Er, what do you think?" ”
All eyes were focused on Chi Xia's body for a while, and Chi Xia swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She looked at the prince, then at the treasures, and finally made up her mind and said, "I'm sorry for the queen, the little girl has admired His Royal Highness the prince for a long time, even if she becomes a side concubine!" ”
The audience was shocked, the prince was really distressed, he threw a look of help to Chi Xia and hoped that Chi Xia would let him go, but Chi Xia ignored the prince at all. The queen is also very helpless, obviously she has paved the back road so well, why can't this little girl figure it out?
"Chi Xia, are you really not thinking about it anymore?" The queen asked one last rhetorically, her tone aggravated, and the expectation in her eyes was that she hoped that she would choose her own way back.
"Queen Mother, the little girl has thought about it, she will become the prince's concubine, and she will never regret it."
Every word is floating in the Taihe Palace, the queen is completely speechless now, the other party is determined to ask the prince to be responsible, what a difficult person.
She just wanted to increase her chips to persuade Chi Xia, but the emperor directly decided the case and said: "Okay, I didn't say anything, this rebel has to bear what he does, since Chi Xia chose him, he will be responsible for others!" ”
"Your Majesty!" The queen only felt that her head hurt a little, and she sat on the chair with her head propped up, not knowing what to do.
As for the crown prince, he knelt in place in a daze, didn't do anything and didn't say anything, after all, this matter was his own fault, and it was better for him to obey the arrangement than to say something to anger his father.
"Immediately spread the news that the prince was going to choose a side concubine, and it would start immediately in two days, and the marriage was scheduled for seven days later."
Hearing such an answer, Chi Xia was full of joy, she hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Queen Mother!" ”
Chi Fangrui and the eldest lady's hearts also settled, thinking that the emperor was still willing to be reasonable, their hearts were also calmed down a lot, and they followed Xie En and said, "Thank you for the emperor's marriage." ”
However, there were still two unhappy people on the field, naturally the prince and the queen. The prince was very helpless, he originally thought that everything was under his control, but now he has fallen to the point of marrying a wife, he is really angry, but he can't resist.
