Yuan Qingling thought that the matter of marrying a side concubine had been fermenting for a few days, and the rumors outside also said that she could not have children, and it should be a matter of abandonment when she was summoned to the palace this time.

She asked her grandmother if anyone from the palace had been here today or last night.

His grandmother said: "Father-in-law Mu Ru came here in person. ”

That's right, it should be the emperor who asked the king of Chu again, marrying the daughter of the Chu family is his wish, how could he not be happy?

Yuan Qingling was calm in her heart, since the royal family wanted to abandon her, she would definitely give her enough compensation, so that she would not worry about her livelihood in the future, no matter how bad she was, she also had an IOU, and I believed that this IOU could change a small house for herself.

With a feeling of relief at last, she stepped into the carriage.

At the gate of the palace, she lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the endless golden glazed cornices, and thought to herself that this might be the last time she entered the palace.

In her heart, there was indescribable joy and ease.

With this mood, when she got out of the carriage and walked to the imperial study, she also watched the scenery in the palace with a good mood.

The palace of the Northern Tang Dynasty is indeed very beautiful, not the elegance of the pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, the palace of the Northern Tang Dynasty is a majestic beauty, the towers stand, the palace is magnificent, the columns are painted with gold paint, and the power of the imperial power is manifested everywhere.

When I came to the door of the imperial study, I saw a person walking out of it.

This person was dressed in a cyan Confucian robe, with a ruby inlaid on his official hat, about sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair, no flesh on his cheeks, and his face was shriveled and thin, but his eyes were very sharp.

She recognized this person as Chu Shoufu of the current dynasty, who held half of the Northern Tang Dynasty and more than 10,000 people under one person.

Chu Shoufu's eyes condensed on Yuan Qingling's face for about a second, and then turned away, he didn't step forward to say hello, but walked through the corridor on the left.

It's just that the second fixed on Yuan Qingling's face is like snow water flowing from the mountains, and it is permeated with a trace of cold blood.

Yuan Qingling had never seen a person's eyes so scary, just glanced at it, but it seemed like a thousand troops.

No wonder Jing Hou would rather sacrifice his daughter than slap Chu Shoufu, but who gave him the courage to let the original owner Yuan Qing Ling take away the prince that others fancied?

Waiting also has the heart of a hero, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the strength.

After the defeat, the hero turned into a mourning dog with his tail between his legs.

Just thinking about it, Mu Ru's father-in-law walked out, his face was a little pale, and it was conceivable that Fang Cai was probably not very happy.

"The princess is here? Go in, the emperor is waiting for you. "Mu Rugong is fair.

Yuan Qing Ling Fu went in.

Emperor Ming Yuan sat on the dragon chair, holding two jade beads in his hand, seeing Yuan Qingling come in, he slowly put it down, his body was obviously a little relaxed, Yuan Qingling saw this action, guessing that he was in a high degree of tension.

"Daughter-in-law see father!" Yuan Qingling stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"Get up!" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice was a little weak.

"Thank you, Father!" Yuan Qingling stood up and stood aside with his hands down.

Emperor Ming Yuan stared at her, "I remember asking you that day, you don't have an objection to the fifth child marrying a side concubine, do you?" ”

Yuan Qingling said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is happy to see it." ”

"Happy to see it happen?" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice became more and more severe, "I ordered Mu Ru to go out of the palace to ask the fifth child, but the fifth person said that you resolutely disagree, and he took care of your feelings, so as not to cause disharmony between the husband and wife and make people laugh." ”

Yuan Qingling is stupid, Yu Wenhao, what are you doing?

"My daughter-in-law didn't object." Yuan Qingling hurriedly defended, "The prince didn't ask me what I meant about this matter at all. ”

"Are you alluding to the fact that the fifth child doesn't respect you?" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice became even more gloomy.

"No, that's not what it means."

This is too far from what she thought all the way, she thought that she only needed to reply with certainty that her daughter-in-law had no opinion, and then wait for the resignation, she would pack up her baggage and leave, after all, the rumors outside were all paving the way for her to go to court.

"The answer that Father-in-law Mu Ru got was that you shouldn't accept a concubine so quickly on the grounds that you had only been in the house for a year, and I remember that you also promised that you would soon give birth to an heir for the royal family, what do you mean by your words, inconsistent?"

Yuan Qing Ling was speechless.

At that time, she said that she would give birth to a child soon, but because of the atmosphere at the time, she just said what she had to say, where did she think about the follow-up?

"Do you agree or disagree?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked sharply.

Yuan Qingling opened his mouth, and a word of agreement was in his throat, but Mu Ru's father-in-law said: "The princess is cautious, don't commit the crime of bullying the king." ”

Yuan Qingling couldn't cry or laugh, the crime of bullying the king?

However, how can she answer that it is not a crime of deception? Agree or disagree, they are guilty of deception.

Mu Ru's father-in-law reminded: "The princess said that she agreed at the time, it was for the princess to extend the heir, right?" But if the princess gives birth to a prince within a year, then she doesn't worry about this, right? ”

"This ......" Yuan Qing Ling turned white with sorrow.

Saying no, isn't it empty talk that he said that he wanted to extend the descendants to the royal family, and it is a matter of heirs, and he can indeed be convicted of bullying the king, after all, he is the emperor.

But if she said yes, wouldn't it be tantamount to acquiescing in her disagreeing with the King of Chu marrying the second miss of the Chu family? Then can't the Chu family eat her alive? And presumably Jing Hou has already gone to Chu Shoufu to tell him that he is willing to go down to the court to beg, in this way, Jing Hou is beating herself up, so this mother's family, probably she will not be able to go back in the future.

Yuan Qingling suddenly felt a wave of anger rise in his heart, Yu Wenhao, you don't want to marry your mother, why do you want to use me as a shield? You're hiding behind a woman, are you justified?

"Dumb?" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice struck.

Yuan Qingling could only say slowly: "Father, forgive sin, daughter-in-law...... In fact, I don't want the prince to marry a side concubine so soon. ”

Emperor Ming Yuan snorted, "Then you are still so generous, saying that you agree to this matter?" ”

"The daughter-in-law is afraid of committing the sin of jealousy." Yuan Qing Ling was ashamed, and scolded Yu Wenhao a hundred times in his heart.

"A woman's mind, how can I not understand? If you don't agree, just say it, will I still forcibly stuff Lao Wu with a side concubine? Emperor Ming Yuan's expression also eased a lot, and his tone was no longer stern.

Yuan Qingling glanced at Emperor Ming Yuan, and a thought suddenly burst into his mind, perhaps, the emperor was not willing to let the fifth child marry the second miss of the Chu family, but he was forced to mention it.

No wonder when she said yes that day, the emperor was not really happy.

And Yu Wenhao took her as a push and refused this family business, but the emperor was relieved.

Yuwen Hao has lost the reputation of a virtuous king, but what about her? Jealous, stingy, narrow-minded, and unable to allow his husband to marry a side concubine, he offended both his mother's family and the Chu family.

No wonder Chu Shoufu's eyes were so cold when he looked at her.

The anger in Yuan Qingling's heart slid straight to his head, and bursts of explosions bloomed.
