Chapter 8: Change of Ownership (3)
With Yun Xiao's words, the emperor's keen gaze swept straight towards the queen beside him, however, before the emperor could speak, the queen reacted very quickly and said first:
"It turned out that the concubine had heard it before, since the daughter of the Yun family has not yet decided on a family affair, and it just so happens that King De has not yet married, it is better to give the daughter of the Yun family to King De as a princess, Your Majesty, do you say okay?"
The emperor looked at the queen acting with a calm face, too lazy to debunk her little tricks, and when she finished speaking, Fang said: "King De is indeed not married yet, but how can there be an elder brother who has not yet married, and the younger brother will first set the truth of family affairs?" ”
When the queen heard this, her face turned blue and white for a while, and she wanted to say more, but the emperor had already interrupted: "I think that the daughter of the Yun family is very compatible with the prince, and I will pass on my will to give the daughter of the Yun family to the prince as the crown princess, and after the three-month mourning period of Prince Min, the wedding will be held on a later date." ”
When Xia Rui and Yun Xiao heard this, they hurriedly thanked him:
"Erchen is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"The courtiers are grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The emperor waved his hand at the two of them and motioned for them to stand down.
When they were far away, the emperor turned his head again, looked at the queen, and said, "Queen, I understand the pain of your loss of Chengzhou, and I am as heartbroken as you, but there is no evidence to prove that Chengzhou's matter is related to Tianrui, why do you want to make him ugly in public?" ”
The queen was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that her son had only been gone for a month, and the emperor was so partial to Xia Rui, however, even if she gritted her teeth with hatred now, what was the use?
Her son is gone, but the person she hates the most has become the crown prince, and the situation is really unfavorable, so she can only retreat for the time being.
So, she got up and knelt at the emperor's feet, and said:
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean to embarrass Tianrui, in fact, the concubine just wanted to test whether there was a private connection between Tianrui and the Yun family. Chengzhou went to be too strange, the concubine never believed that Chengzhou hanged himself, if Chengzhou had the heart to die, why didn't he even leave a suicide note?! Why didn't he reveal the slightest desire to die to his concubines before this?! ”
"Then you don't need to hold on to Tianrui, I tell you the truth, the reason why I will make Tianrui the prince so quickly is because I believe that the matter of Chengzhou has absolutely nothing to do with Tianrui, on the cusp of this storm, rumors are spreading outside, I need to cut through the chaos quickly, stabilize the panicked people's hearts, Xia Guo needs peace, the world needs peace, I have to think about the overall situation!"
The queen was stunned again when she heard this, although the heart of the Son of Heaven was unfathomable, but she didn't know that it was so incredible:
"The concubine understands that the emperor wants to think about the overall situation, but why did the emperor choose Tianrui as the prince? Now that the emperor is on his knees, Tianrui is not the only prince, why does the emperor conclude that Tianrui must have nothing to do with Chengzhou's affairs? What if he coveted Chengzhou's crown prince, assassinated Chengzhou, and deliberately made himself hang himself to blind the public's attention?! ”
"Presumptuous!" The emperor said angrily, "The matter of the prince is related to the country's social affairs, how can you, a woman, judge at will?!" Since when did I establish myself as the crown prince, and I have to ask you what you mean first? Queen, have you forgotten the palace rules? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! ”
The queen was reprimanded so red-faced, she saw that the emperor was angry, and she didn't dare to argue, so she had to put away her sharp edge, bowed her head and said:
"The emperor is angry, the concubines don't dare to interfere in politics, the concubines are just a mother, I just want to ask for the truth, my son Chengzhou went to the wrong...... If the concubine can't give him this truth, how can she comfort him in the heavenly dead?! Your Majesty, Chengzhou used to be your favorite son, don't you want to know the truth? Even if the concubine is wrong, but the concubine only has such a son, now there is no more, and the concubine has been punished, to be honest, if it weren't for the concubine who can't comfort the dead in the sky in Chengzhou now, the concubine really can't wait to go to the ground to accompany him now......"
When the emperor heard this, his heart couldn't help but feel pity, he let out a long sigh and said:
"Queen, why do you bother? Although more than a month has passed since Chengzhou's incident, I will continue to investigate secretly, and I will definitely give you and Chengzhou the truth, so you can rest assured! However, you don't have to embarrass Tianrui in the future, after all, you are his mother-in-law, he is now the crown prince, I hope you can get along in harmony, do you understand what I mean? ”
The words have already been said for this part, and the queen can only compromise: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”
--------------------
On the other side, after Yun Xiao left Fengyi Palace, he took a soft sedan chair out of the palace, however, before he could go, a waiter came to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness the Prince had an invitation.
When Yun Xiao heard this, he got off the soft sedan chair and came to the place where Xia Rui was standing alone.
It was beside a stone arch bridge, and several peach trees bloomed with pink peach blossoms, reflecting on the lake, reflecting the style of Xia Rui in a particularly chic manner.
Yun Xiao stood beside him and saluted: "The courtier Yun Xiao has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose......"
Before she finished speaking, Xia Rui turned around and helped her up: "Miss Yun, don't be polite. ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
Xia Rui looked at Yun Xiao and said, "I invited you here now to thank you for your help just now, and I want to come...... Your father has already told you about my secret marriage with your father, right? ”
Yun Xiao felt that although he did not call himself "lonely", there was still a sense of temptation in these words.
Yun Xiao couldn't help but smile lightly: "Yes, my father has indeed informed me in advance, and told me to focus on the overall situation in the future, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't have to thank the courtiers, the courtiers just did what they should do." ”
Xia Rui heard this and nodded: "What about your own thoughts?" ”
When he suddenly asked, Yun Xiao felt quite surprised, she secretly suppressed the floating thoughts in her heart, and replied: "Your Highness is the dragon and phoenix among people, and the courtiers don't have any ideas. ”
Well? Why do you say high-sounding words again?
Xia Rui instantly smiled very charmingly: "When you answered your father's question in the queen's palace just now, you didn't look like this, I didn't expect that you, the daughter of the Yun family, who is decent, are so interesting!" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, she frowned and didn't answer.
Seeing this, Xia Rui couldn't stop laughing in his heart, but he pretended to be deep on his face, and said to Yun Xiao:
"Okay, you're tired, so go back to the house early to rest, please bring a message to your father for me, I've been very busy lately, it's inconvenient to visit, now, my father has promised you to me, and after Prince Min's three-month mourning period has passed, I will come to discuss marriage with your father."
"The courtiers obey." Yun Xiao stiffly blessed and turned to leave.
Xia Rui raised his eyebrows behind her and couldn't help but smile again.
This is the first time Xia Rui has spoken to Yun Xiao alone, the daughter of the imperial capital city, he has seen a lot, thousands of charms, everything.
How many people deliberately approached him and flattered him because of his identity, and how many people deliberately alienated him for fear of the strife and loneliness of this court, but no one would be like Yun Xiao, who not only knew how to focus on the overall situation, but also understood what he wanted, and could be free and easy in different situations.
He saw through it at a glance that the woman who had left was as proud as himself. Her mind is exquisite, but it is inscrutable, but Xia Rui is not in a hurry now.
In short, on this day, Yun Xiao left a very special image in Xia Rui's heart.
--------------------
Here, after Yun Xiao returned to Yunfu to eat briefly, he told Yun Hanshan everything about himself in the palace.
Yun Hanshan said to Yun Xiao while drinking tea: "The queen has no son, it is inevitable that she will be disturbed by the gossip outside, she is dissatisfied with our Yun family, so she will embarrass you!" Actually, this matter is also to blame for the father, if it weren't for the father's refusal to marry Prince Min, the queen would not hate our Yun family so much now. ”
With that, he let out another long sigh.
When Yun Xiao heard this, her bright eyes turned slightly, and she saw that there were only their father and daughter in the study at this moment, so she boldly said: "Dad, there is a question, I have been hiding it in my heart for a long time, and I have always wanted to ask you!" ”
"You say ......"
Yun Xiao said: "Dad, about Prince Min, do you know something in advance, so you refuse this marriage?" ”
Yun Hanshan looked at Yun Xiao seriously, and always felt that under his daughter's beautiful face, there was a transparent heart that did not match her age.
"Yun Xiao, you are very sharp! As a father in the court for decades, he has seen all the ups and downs, ups and downs, and thinks that his father's understanding of Prince Min shows that although he is in the position of the prince, he is supported by the queen and the Gao family, but he is too rigid and self-righteous. ”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao nodded: "Your gaze is precise, Prince Min really failed to take on the responsibility in the end!" ”
"Yun Xiao, you met the new crown prince in the palace today, what do you think of him?"
Yun Xiao heard this question, her expression was a little vain, she lowered her long eyelashes slightly, and replied: "But after a few short exchanges, I really can't say that there is anything special about it." ”
When Yun Hanshan heard this, he let out a long sigh, and then said: "Although it is said that you and he are now married by the emperor, if it is not for the secret marriage between the father and him in advance, the emperor will not suddenly give the marriage, this matter, the father did not ask you in advance, Yun Xiao, will you blame me?" ”
