(169) In front of the Imperial Study

Yun Xiangrong thanked the prince. I remembered another thing, so I asked: "Big brother, a few days ago, the people from the Four Great Princes Mansion all went to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, did we bring the silver for my father's birthday?" ”

"I've already brought it, I told Master Hu that it's a surprise to tell my father about this matter on my father's birthday. Xu He said that the idea was come up with by the third sister, and we all thought it was very good. The prince said.

"It's nothing, I'm too lazy to prepare a gift." Yun Xiangrong said.

The prince could see that Yun Xiangrong was indeed very smart, and it was not her so-called laziness at all.

Yun Xiangrong said goodbye to the prince, and went to the imperial study, and at this moment, the saint was almost about to go down in the morning, and it was estimated that he would not kneel for too long.

It's a pity that it's bad luck, Yun Xiangrong knelt for nearly half an hour, and the saint went down to the court, in fact, the court was mainly arguing about Jiang Qingchen's fault and Princess Rong's marriage.

The saints are a little irritable.

After the next court, the emperor saw from a distance that a small lump, a woman in palace clothes, was kneeling in front of the imperial study. I couldn't see who it was in the distance, the emperor asked the eunuch to take a look, and the eunuch replied that it was Princess Rong, who had been kneeling for a long time.

The emperor was a little surprised, the only thing that could make him happy recently was the young master's development plan for the sixteen states of Youyun, but how could the princess kneel in front of the imperial study instead, is this asking for himself?

Before the emperor arrived at the imperial study, he had already instructed the palace maid to help people into the imperial study. Yun Xiangrong really knelt for too long, but fortunately, his physical fitness was okay recently, and it was not particularly uncomfortable, but the palace maid also helped Yun Xiangrong several times before she supported Yun Xiangrong.

On the contrary, the sedan chair on the saint was more advanced than Yun Xiangrong in the imperial study.

Yun Xiangrong was supported by two palace maids, and walked into the imperial study tremblingly, mainly because he had been kneeling for a long time, the blood in his legs was not circulating, and his legs were very numb.

The eunuch guarding the door hurriedly went to report to the prince, saying that Yun Xiangrong had successfully entered the imperial study.

In fact, the prince was also very worried before, Yun Xiangrong could hold on to such a thin girl kneeling for so long? Fortunately, the weather is not very hot now, what if my father agrees to summon him, but people faint on their knees?

The emperor was a little unbearable to see Yun Xiangrong, I remember seeing a very good-looking girl last month, why is she so embarrassed today, not to mention that she has lost a lot of weight, and her face is also very haggard.

This Jiang Qingchen, I didn't think you were very important before, you disappeared for a while, but it was really amazing, the court made trouble, the princess tossed, and there was news that your grandmother was going to ask the queen mother to uphold justice.

Yun Xiangrong entered the imperial study and knelt down directly, and said, "Father, the son is guilty, and the son has caused trouble to the father." ”

The emperor didn't understand Yun Xiangrong's path, his children, basically the evidence came out, and there were those who did not admit their guilt. This kind of initiative to confess guilt is the first time I have encountered it.

The courtiers were only willing to admit their guilt when the evidence was conclusive, and then they came up with a bunch of helpless reasons. As if all sins deserve to be forgiven.

Yun wants to confess his guilt when he comes up, why? Looks like this girl didn't make a mistake.

The emperor has been in this position for decades, and he is used to seeing the big wind and waves, although he doesn't understand Yun Xiangrong's purpose, but he knows that this is just a talk, a princess, how wrong things can he do, so he is not in a hurry to ask for the guilt.

"Come, give the princess a seat." The emperor said.

"Thank you, Father." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Xiangrong, have you had lunch at your mother's?" The emperor said.

"I haven't been to the queen mother's, and I haven't had lunch yet." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Why didn't you go to the Queen Mother?" The emperor asked.

"Go to the queen mother, the queen mother will definitely ask me why I entered the palace, if I say that I entered the palace to invite sin, I am afraid that the queen mother will be embarrassed when she finds out." Yun Xiangrong said.

The emperor said that this princess is very interesting, others are eager to pull a few more to help intercede, she is good, she is afraid of troublesome others, and comes directly to herself.

"Xiangrong, you keep saying that you are guilty, where is your sin?" The emperor asked.

"Father, yesterday Commander Li sorted out the complaint against Jiang Qingchen from the Imperial Historical Observatory and gave it to Shaobao, saying that he asked Shaobao to prepare and confront him in court, I took a look at the complaint, and I found that many articles are related to me." Yun Xiangrong said.

Of course the emperor knew, but he thought it was ridiculous, you sued Jiang Qingchen for marriage, and then Jiang Qingchen's mistakes were all related to Princess Rong.

It seems that the princess is not a good person, so what are you robbing?

"Xiangrong, you don't have to worry too much, there are many things that are not substantiated, just talk, you don't have to worry too much about light dust. After finding out, I will give you justice. The emperor said.

"Father Xie, but many things on the charges are caused by me, and many things can only be explained clearly by me." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Then you tell Shao Bao everything and let him be fully prepared." The emperor said.

The emperor probably understood what Yun Xiangrong meant, after all, she was a princess from the people, and she didn't have so much confidence to do things, and if she had a little bit of her own affairs, she was honestly afraid, so she knelt in the imperial study, hoping to get her own understanding.

"But father, who can know what the courtiers will ask a few days later, only I, the person concerned, can explain it clearly." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Do you want to confront Shaobao in front of the court?" The emperor said.

"Yes, father, I feel very guilty, just a few days after you became your daughter, you were ashamed, and I picked out a bunch of faults, but many things are not like that." Yun Xiangrong said ashamedly.

The emperor thinks that Yun Xiangrong's request is not too much, but this girl lives so seriously, what about the so-called absolute right and wrong in the world?

"That's fine, but you haven't been to the court, I guess you will be very nervous when you see the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, so if you can't do it, forget it." The emperor said.

"Father, in fact, I understand many things, you also have your helplessness, although my marriage was begged by Jiang Qingchen, but in the end, if Jiang Qingchen is really found guilty, father, you just have to make an order, as for who you arrange for me to marry, I don't have any complaints, since I have enjoyed the glory of the royal family, I have a responsibility for my father's country." Yun Xiangrong said.

Yun Xiangrong has actually thought very clearly, the eldest prince and the second prince have told their cousin before, the last thing the royal family needs is to show affection, the more you show everything to focus on the overall situation, the easier it will be to achieve your wishes.

Although Jiang Qingchen didn't do it, Yun Xiangrong really did it, just look at the emperor's surprised expression.

The emperor was unexpected, this folk princess actually thought about the breadth of questions more than the princess raised in the palace. But I also knew in my heart that Princess Rong must marry Jiang Qingchen, and if the marriage fails, it will not only hurt the loyalty of the courtiers, but Jiang Qingchen's temper will definitely make trouble with herself.

"Xiangrong, it's good that you can understand the general situation like this." The emperor said.

"Father, the son has a bold idea, can the confrontation between Yushitai and Shaobao be delayed, I want to come first, just say the things about me in the crime, just become a princess and others deliberately smeared, I am really wronged, all say royal dignity, is it that I, a princess from the people, do not have royal dignity? I heard from the Commander that the various departments have verified the charges, why no one has come to ask me about the situation, is this fair, just, and open? Yun Xiangrong said excitedly.

The emperor felt that he was underestimating Princess Rong, and at first thought that he was unconfident, or that he wanted to clarify things for Jiang Qingchen, but finally he told the truth, but he was not convinced.

That's right, this is the real Princess Rong, she was able to endure it for so long when she dealt with the five princesses before, and this thing is also true, she wanted to stand up for herself, but she was afraid that her side would not agree, so she staged the previous kneeling scene.

The emperor has been playing politics for a long time, and he admires this kind of person who is scheming for himself, and he is not afraid of such a princess when he is released, because she has the ability to protect herself, and she will not come to her for everything.

The so-called straightforwardness, heartlessness, the royal family really doesn't need it, and no one has extra energy to protect you. Besides, Princess Rong's scheming can be seen in two clicks, and there is no deterrent.

"Xiangrong, you want to defend yourself, I have no opinion, but after all, you are a woman, and you have never experienced the affairs of the court, I am afraid that you will be cowardly and make things worse." The emperor said.

Yun Xiangrong heard it, this is the emperor has agreed to this matter, but he has some small concerns, so he said: "Father, I know that you don't agree with me to come forward, but I knelt hard in the imperial study for an hour and begged you, and you couldn't bear it before agreeing." If I didn't make it clear that day and lost face, it was also my own ability, I admit it. Yun Xiangrong said.

Hearing Yun Xiangrong say this, the saint suddenly understood that she knelt just to get herself out, even if she didn't say yes that day, it was the princess's insistence, and it didn't mean the emperor's intentions.

Yun Xiangrong can ask for his own things, before and after thinking clearly, she should be a very smart girl, if she confronts her courtiers, it may not be a bad thing, of course it is best to win, and it represents the face of the royal family.

It's nothing to lose, a bunch of old fritters in officialdom, and winning a little girl, there's nothing to be proud of.

Besides, if you are a courtier, you don't look for problems with Jiang Qingchen's political performance, but for private matters, it is all related to the princess, and the princess will of course be unwilling.

If the princess loses and shows her dissatisfaction with Princess Rong again, it is estimated that there will be no one who wants to marry her.

"Okay, then three days later, you will also go to the morning court and confront the Yushitai, think about it, you have to think clearly, this matter is still a little difficult." The emperor said.

"Father, I didn't think I would win, but I think they blatantly put pressure on my father to make my father regret his marriage, which is too much. My father is big and doesn't mind, but I'm a cautious person, I want to fight back for my father, my father can cancel the marriage contract for no reason, but they can't, I'm not their daughter. Yun Xiangrong said.

The emperor suddenly felt that this daughter was so caring, and what he wanted to say but couldn't say, Princess Rong said it.

The emperor had asked a few concubines what they thought of Yun Xiangrong before, but he didn't expect everyone's caliber to be unusually unified, so he said that the princess was a little pitiful.

The emperor said in his heart that she had nothing to worry about food and clothing, but today I understand, the princess is helpless to beg for herself, which is a little pitiful, so she can't bear to refuse Yun Xiangrong's unreasonable request.

After that, the emperor showed Yun Xiangrong again, and the courtiers made important accusations against Jiang Qingchen. Yun Xiangrong told the emperor about Wen Zhirui again, and left the imperial study.
