Chapter 7: Change of Ownership (2)

When Xia Rui asked, King Xuan almost didn't jump up from his seat, he said in a lengthened tone:

"How could I have something to do with the prince's affairs? People outside say it's the Yun family, why do you suddenly suspect me? Second brother, you also have too much eccentricity for the Yun family, right? You won't be ...... You've already seen the daughter of the Yun family, right? I see you've been dazzled by the Yun family! ”

Xia Rui was stunned when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he stared at King Xuan and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have already met the daughter of the Yun family?! In the past few days, I have been very busy, and I am a little free today, I haven't gone to the Yun family to propose marriage, and it is impossible to meet the daughter of the Yun family! Moreover, I suddenly became the crown prince, and I have already become the target of public criticism, and it is still unknown whether the Yun family will give up the marriage they said before in order to protect themselves......"

When King Xuan heard this, he frowned, and said with a stupid expression: "Okay, I won't talk about these things, you have become the crown prince now, the queen must be very unwilling, and I don't know what cruel way I am thinking, ready to deal with our brothers, I will go back first, you should rest early." ”

Xia Rui nodded: "Okay, you can rest early." ”

--------------------

The news that Xia Rui was canonized as the new crown prince soon spread throughout the imperial capital, and the aftermath of Prince Min's death had not yet subsided, so such news came out, and for a while, the rumors in the imperial capital city intensified.

In order to let the Yun family get out of this public opinion turmoil as soon as possible, Yun Hanshan decided not to discuss Yun Xiao's marriage for the time being, and waited until this limelight passed, and then slowly discussed the marriage with King Ding.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, how can the queen without the crown prince be willing to watch Xia Rui enter the East Palace like this, and be indifferent?!

The person who accepted the result of Prince Min's self-hanging death was the emperor, and the queen didn't think so, she would never believe that her son would do such a stupid thing as "self-hanging".

Moreover, the queen was not only disgusted with Xia Rui, but also disgusted with the Yun family, who had rejected his son's proposal to marry before, she really wanted to see what kind of woman dared to refuse his son's proposal to marry!

So, one day a month after Prince Min's death, she summoned Yun Xiao into the palace.

The person who came to Yunfu to summon Yun Xiao was Li Chang, the chief attendant in the queen's palace, Yun Xiao rode a soft sedan chair and followed Li Chang into the harem, and waited for a long time in the side hall of the middle palace (Fengyi Palace), but did not wait for the queen's summons.

Yun Xiao knew that the queen deliberately hung her in the side hall, maybe...... She didn't want to talk to herself at all, she just wanted to take the opportunity to punish herself and vent the resentment in her heart.

In this way, Yun Xiao waited in the side hall from early morning to noon.

At noon, a palace maid finally came in and spread the word that the queen was going to summon her.

Yun Xiao didn't dare to slack off, tidied up his appearance a little, and followed the palace maid into the main hall of Fengyi Palace: Chaofeng Palace.

Yun Xiao raised his eyes slightly, and was a little surprised to find that at this moment, there were not only the queen sitting in the Chaofeng Palace, but also the emperor and Xia Rui, no wonder the queen had not summoned herself, it turned out that the queen had been waiting for their father and son to come over.

Yun Xiao secretly suppressed the thoughts floating in his heart, and knelt down to salute: "Courtier Yun Xiao see the emperor, the queen, His Royal Highness the Prince, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen's mother, thousand years old, His Royal Highness the crown prince, thousand years old, thousand years old!" ”

At this moment, the queen's voice came from above: "Your Majesty, look, this is General Yun's daughter-in-law, and she is very beautiful!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he said, "Get up, raise your head, and let me see." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Yun Xiao stood up according to his words and raised his head slightly, but he didn't dare to look directly at the face of the Son of Heaven.

Here, the emperor looked at Yun Xiao, nodded to himself, and said, "It is indeed a good birth, and among my princesses, there is no one who is as good-looking as you!" ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly blessed him, and said: "The emperor has praised it falsely, and the courtiers dare not be ashamed." ”

Yun Xiao faintly felt that there was a gaze in front of him, looking at him steadily, not knowing what Xia Rui was thinking at the moment.

At this moment, the queen suddenly said: "The emperor's praise is a holy grace, you don't have to be too humble, it's a pity...... Wu'er Chengzhou has no blessings, and he can't marry a woman like you as a princess! ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, her heart ached, the queen was planning to attack herself in front of the emperor!

On the other side, the emperor, who was originally going to drink tea, heard this, his eyebrows moved, he put down the teacup, and said, "Okay, why did you talk about Prince Min again?" ”

The queen glanced at the look on the emperor's face, and saw that the emperor didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so she deliberately pretended to be speechless, and said pitifully:

"Actually, it's not that the concubine wants to deliberately make the emperor sad, the emperor doesn't know, when Chengzhou was still alive before, he once proposed to the Yun family, and wanted to marry the daughter of the Yun family as the crown princess, but I don't want to, the Yun family has already made a family relationship with Tianrui! In fact, this matter is also blamed on Chengzhou himself for not asking clearly in advance, if he had known that Tianrui and the Yun family had already made a family relationship, Chengzhou has always loved his younger brother, even if he likes the daughter of the Yun family in his heart, he will definitely not compete with his younger brother! ”

Obviously, it was Prince Min who went to the Yun family to propose marriage and was rejected first, and Xia Rui married the Yun family later, but the queen wanted to say that Prince Min would not fight with his younger brother, but it seemed that Xia Rui was deliberately fighting with Prince Min, tsk...... The queen's ability to reverse right and wrong, not to be a storyteller, is really condescending.

Xia Rui on the side listened to the queen's words and secretly gathered his right hand.

The queen's words, on the surface, are talking about the marriage of her children, but in fact, she is implying that the emperor has colluded with the Yun family in private, and is suspected of forming a party for personal gain, and even because she likes the daughter of the Yun family at the same time as Prince Min, she may take the opportunity to assassinate the prince on the day of the prince's celebration banquet.

This woman's kung fu of hiding needles in the cotton is really amazing.

It's just that he hasn't gone to the Yun family to propose marriage, how did the queen know about his secret marriage with the Yun family? Is there a spy on your side? Or...... The Yun family betrayed themselves?

Xia Rui felt that the latter was unlikely, and at the moment, he was more concerned about the emperor's attitude on this matter.

He settled his mind, raised his eyes, and saw that at this moment, there was no anger gathering on the emperor's face, his expression was as calm as water, he sighed, and said:

"I see...... Chengzhou and Tianrui both want to marry the daughter of the Yun family, which is really a coincidence, but ...... I hadn't heard Chengzhou mention it before, he liked the Yun family's daughter! ”

When the queen heard this, her face suddenly turned white, and between her eyes, she saw Xia Rui secretly relieved, and she couldn't help but hate her teeth, she suppressed the anger floating in her heart, and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, don't you know Chengzhou yet? This is the first time he has someone he likes, before he has agreed with the Yun family, how could he be so abrupt to come to the emperor to talk about this matter?! ”

The queen's words were reluctant, the emperor glanced at her, turned his head to look at Xia Rui, and asked:

"Tianrui, the queen said that you like the daughter of the Yun family, and you want to marry her to be your crown princess, and you have already made a relationship with the Yun family, is this really the case?"

When Xia Rui heard this, he got up and came to the center of the main hall, and said to the emperor:

"Back to his father's words, Erchen heard that the daughter of the Yun family was born very beautifully, and was sent to the mountain by General Yun since she was a child to be raised by a master, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was proficient in everything, like a fairy in the clouds, and really wanted to marry her, but marriage is a big deal, without the consent of his father, how could Erchen make a family affair with the Yun family privately? Naturally, it is even more unlikely that he will go to the Yun family to propose! Ignorance...... Where did the queen mother learn about the rumors that her son had made a marriage with the Yun family? ”

This is the army of the anti-general queen!

"You ......" The queen's face turned green with anger, she secretly folded her hands, hooked the corners of her lips, and calmly retorted, "Tianrui, you have been thinking about the daughter of the Yun family for a long time, have you really never gone to the Yun family to mention this matter?" I'm afraid that you deliberately said this to your father, right? What are you trying to hide? ”

"I didn't want to hide anything on purpose......"

At this moment, the emperor suddenly interrupted impatiently: "Okay, you two don't fight anymore, the daughter of the Yun family is here now, whether Tianrui has made a relationship with the Yun family, ask the daughter of the Yun family, isn't it clear?" ”

So, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Xiao's body one after another.

The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Yun Clan, I ask you, has Prince Tianrui already made a relationship with you?" ”

With this question, the queen and Xia Rui cast their searching eyes at Yun Xiao.

The difference is that Xia Rui's eyes hide expectation, while the queen's eyes contain a strong sense of threat.

Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh secretly, could it be that she is facing the queen now, and she won't embarrass herself in the future?

Yun Xiao looked at the emperor calmly and replied calmly: "If you go back to the emperor, no!" ”

The reason why Yun Xiao answered like this was not because she was honest, but through two secret observations of the emperor, she found that the emperor was not an emperor who would be easily swayed by other people's words, he had his own opinions. He doesn't seem to be very fond of the queen and doesn't know ...... Is it because he is afraid of the powerful Gao family behind the queen?

When he was on the mountain, the master had already told Yun Xiao that the power of the Gao clan, the queen's mother family, in the court was completely comparable to their Yun family, and the queen's elder brother Gao Ziyuan was the left minister of the court, holding heavy power, and when Prince Min was still alive, the power of the Gao clan could indeed threaten the imperial power.
