Chapter 412: Nothing Can Be Done

"Please Mr. Pang stay."

The Empress Dowager Wu suddenly appeared in front of the dining room, her eyes swept slowly, and her face was extremely kind. Pang Zhe reluctantly stopped and bowed.

Xiao Lezi recently invited Pang Zhe to return to the dining room, and Pang Zhe rolled his eyes.

"See the Queen Mother."

Xing'an came calmly from Yongdao, saluted the Wu family, moved to Pang Zhe's side, and whispered in his ear, Pang Zhe's expression eased.

"The old slave retired."

Xing'an said goodbye to the queen mother, and immediately invited Pang Zhe to move outside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Jingtai came out of the dining room, "My son respectfully invites his mother, Sheng'an!" โ€

"Get up."

Wu glanced at his son in a hurry, turned around and entered the dining room.

"The slave knocks on the queen mother!"

Wu didn't even look at the palace maid who was close to Emperor Jingtai, but walked straight to the dining table and carefully looked at the dishes on the table.

"No matter how tedious the court affairs are, the emperor has to take care of his body, the morning and dusk are upside down, and the diet is impermanent, which is not beneficial to the body." Turning around, he instructed Xiao Lezi: "Go and order someone to withdraw the banquet and spread the special dishes prepared by the mourning family." โ€

"Yes." Xiao Lezi waved his hand to signal the palace maid who was still holding the courtesy to withdraw, and then waved to the palace maid who was waiting outside.

Seeing a group of palace maids making vegetables, Emperor Jingtai slowly approached and said, "Thank you Queen Mother." โ€

Wu looked at Emperor Jingtai, and his face reappeared the sad look of the past, but there was a little anger in his eyes.

"Mr. Su Wenpang has extraordinary knowledge and is different from ordinary people, and the emperor should treat him with his heart."

"My son understands." The anger in Emperor Jingtai's eyes flashed away, "Whether it is the minister or the common people, you can know everything in front of me, but there is one thing, no matter who it is, you can't talk about King Yue!" โ€

Wu Shi was stunned, turned sideways, and faced the dazzling lights, his eyes wide open.

"The Empress Dowager appointed a caretaker to King Yue before her death, but unfortunately, for many years, the caretaker does not seem to have fulfilled his duty of care, so that King Yue has long passed the age of marriage, but he is still single."

Emperor Jingtai also turned his body, turned his back to Wu, and faced another piece of light, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

"Could it be that the queen mother wants her son to canonize Wu Qi as the princess of Yue?"

Wu glanced back at Emperor Jingtai, but did not turn around, "Qi'er is the niece of the mourning family, she is sixteen years old, and she is at the age of marriage. The mourning family found someone to test it, and she and the king of Yue matched. โ€

Emperor Jingtai pursed his lips secretly, "What can you do if the eight characters are combined?" King Yue's vision is extremely high, and he is by no means a person who is light. Haven't you heard his rhetoric when he was a child? 'Be a hero of the world and marry a peerless beauty', Wu Qi has a peerless appearance? โ€

Wu turned around abruptly, his gaze swept over Emperor Jingtai's head, and cast it on a magnificent glass lamp.

"Whether it is peerless or not, the Son of Heaven has the final say, and what others say does not count."

Emperor Jingtai pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, "I'm afraid the Son of Heaven can't count this matter!" At that time, the Empress Dowager chose to read with the Prince of Yue, and everything was decided. โ€

"The Empress Dowager?" Wu stared at Emperor Jingtai, and his gaze touched the back of a cold head, "Companion reading is companion reading, Princess Yue is Princess Yue." โ€

Emperor Jingtai turned to face the Wu family, and said expressionlessly: "Once the king of Yue gets married, the noise in the court about the king of Yue going to the vassal will rise again, and the son may be overwhelmed by that time." โ€

Wu was silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the room was a little abnormal, and the group of palace maids stood by the desk with their heads bowed down, not even daring to raise their eyelids.

"If you go to the domain, you will go to the domain, you can't let King Yue I be unmarried, right?" Wu's eyebrows furrowed, smiled lightly, and the tense facial muscles relaxed, "The mourning family remembers that the domain of Yuefu should be in Quzhou Mansion, Zhejiang, Zhejiang is a good place, since the founding of the country, there has not been a prince in Zhejiang. โ€

Emperor Jingtai's eyes moved, staring at the delicacies that were already on the dining table, and he was silent.

Xing'an entered, caught a glimpse of the expressions of Emperor Jingtai and the Wu family, and immediately waved away the group of palace maids who were standing by the side of the desk, helpless.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Pang is relieved and is eating at his residence outside the noon gate." Xing'an secretly glanced at the Wu family, and turned to Emperor Jingtai and said, "Your Majesty, there is another warning signal from Datong and Xuanfu, and you have to go to Yongsu Hall to review the urgent performance after lunch." โ€

Emperor Jingtai's expression eased, and he let out a long sigh, "Look, the embers of civil strife in Zhejiang and Guangdong have not been extinguished, and there are also warning signs in the north. โ€

Wu Shi walked slowly for a few steps, his eyes moving, "There is a son of heaven, there are hundreds of officials, and all major affairs in the world are decided by the imperial court." It was the first time in his life that the mourning family had heard that the government was inseparable from a prince. โ€

"After looking at my mother, I think of the ancestral teachings!" Emperor Jingtai's face was slightly gloomy, "My son thinks very clearly, this country is the country of the Zhu family, not the country of his son alone." โ€

Wu's eyes froze, gritted his teeth, and turned to walk towards the door.

"When you first ascend to the throne, you will inevitably have a lot of pride and ambition in your chest, but after a long time, the emperor will eventually find that this world is only the emperor's world!"

"The son sends off the queen mother!"

The Son of Heaven's etiquette was still a step too late, and when he spoke, the Wu family had already walked away.

Emperor Jingtai stared out of the door for a long time, and turned to look at Xing'an, "Send King Yue over at dinner time, choose a good place." He walked out.

"Yes. Eh, Your Majesty, you haven't had lunch yet! โ€

Emperor Jingtai waved his hand, suddenly stopped at the moment of going out, turned his back to Xing'an and said: "Since the first year of orthodoxy, King Yue has suffered many accidents, you send someone to investigate carefully, I am now the Son of Heaven, and I want to make decisions for King Yue!" โ€

Lu Xiyao stayed in Qiupu Xuan and went to the greenhouse to watch the narcissus first. She went for a long time, and when she returned to the study, her face was not quite right.

Seeing Zhu Qiming reading a book, he moved to the window, gently opened the window leaves, and the sunlight came in with the cold wind, half warm, half cold. Glancing back at Zhu Qiming, she slowly closed the window leaves.

"Sister, it's still very interesting to reread the history books. You said that Zhibo was powerful back then, and no one in the Han, Zhao, and Wei families dared to compete with him, and Han and Wei competed with each other to protect themselves, and Zhao Xiangzi was unwilling to submit to Zhibo, which led to the famous Battle of Jinyang, and Zhibo was finally destroyed. At that time, if Zhao Xiangzi didn't do the so-called self-righteous hidden ninja, but fought hard and led the Han and Wei families to conspire with him, it was very likely that the territory of the Han, Zhao, and Wei families would have returned to Zhibo. โ€

After hearing Lu Xiyao's response for a long time, Zhu Qiming's gaze left the historical books and slowly moved to Lu Xiyao by the window.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Lu Xiyao pursed her lips and smiled, smiling a little reluctantly. She sat near the window and by the fire.

"Fang Cai inadvertently remembered the words of the Holy Empress Dowager at lunchtime, and the Empress Dowager said that the Empress Dowager of Fu'an Palace intends to make her niece a princess."

Zhu Qiming calmly put down the book and stared at Lu Xiyao, "Sister Xiyao, I wanted to marry you a few years ago, but there are many things in the society, and the marriage has been postponed to this day. โ€

Lu Xiyao turned her head sideways and muttered, "You love to talk nonsense!" โ€

Zhu Qiming followed Lu Xiyao's words and said categorically: "Wait, it won't be too long." If I marry you, no one in the world can stop me, it's a big deal, I won't be a prince, you won't be a princess, let's be a commoner couple! โ€
