Chapter 719: Steadfast
The emperor glanced at Jiang Zhimian, unconsciously hooked his lips slightly, and said, "The daughter taught by Jiang Shangshu is really an eye-opener for me." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning between his words was to say that Jiang He was too out of line just now, this can be regarded as standing on Xie Chuyao's side, after all, this is still his daughter-in-law, you A woman who didn't enter the door dares to say that his daughter-in-law is ugly, isn't this a slap in the face?
When Jiang Shangshu heard this, he immediately knelt down, clasped his fists towards the emperor and said: "Please calm the emperor's anger, the little girl has always been rude and willful, and she is a micro-minister's goddaughter, so I beg the emperor to spare her for the sake of her young and ignorant." ”
"Daddy......" Jiang He looked at his father kneeling on the ground with wide eyes, is this matter so serious? She just said something ugly, and she didn't scold this woman, why did her father kneel and beg for mercy for her, and the emperor too, this protection is too obvious, she is very uncomfortable in her heart.
Jiang Zhimian just raised his eyes and glared at her, then lowered his head again and saluted respectfully.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up, I didn't say what I want to do with your family's daughter, but I was shocked to realize that the previous holy decree was really a bit of a child's play, and I hurriedly issued the holy decree without knowing anything, I am old and confused!" ”
Jiang Zhimian stood up with a slightly gloomy face, didn't the emperor mean that his daughter couldn't get into his eyes? It seems that he summoned them in today to suppress them.
The eldest princess looked at Jiang He, who was still sulking, and sneered in her heart, it seems that this woman still thinks that she is right, but now in the council hall, the emperor is sitting there, saying that his daughter-in-law is ugly in front of him, doesn't this give the emperor a reason to suppress them? It's stupid.
Xie Chuyao felt that the atmosphere was a little heavier, so he glanced at Jiang Zhimian, this person was up, but his face was as black as ink, thinking that the emperor's words just now embarrassed him.
"I don't know why my father summoned his daughter-in-law over?" Xie Chuyao first congratulated her body before asking.
The emperor's eyes swept over the people in the hall one by one, and only after half a sound did he say: "There is nothing important, but the eldest prince of this beautiful country heard that I had withdrawn the holy decree and brought the national teacher to come over to find me and ask me to understand, I thought that since this is the case, I summoned Jiang Shangshu's father and daughter together, and then let you come over to take a look, this matter has to be explained clearly, and it can be explained." ”
Xie Chuyao nodded slightly, then nodded towards Jiang Shangshu and said, "Jiang Shangshu, eldest princess, since the emperor has taken back the holy decree, you must also understand, what is our mind, we might as well sit down and talk about it, how to deal with the follow-up matters next?" ”
"Hmph, what is there to say, yes, the emperor easily issued an edict with one sentence, and easily withdrew the decree with another sentence, the courtiers dare to ask, in the emperor's heart, do you treat the daughters of our ministers as human beings, do you know, what will you say to me as soon as this holy decree is received?" Jiang He's eyes turned red as he spoke, it was these days, the emperor had delayed the marriage date, and some people in the market had long said that it was because the fifth prince didn't look down on her that he didn't want to admit her into the door, God knows how uncomfortable she felt when she heard it.
Xie Chuyao heard her words, but felt a little sorry in her heart, after all, she was a girl, and it was really uncomfortable to be hurt by these words in the market.
The emperor put his hand on his forehead and said: "I didn't expect this, it seems that it was my mistake, even so, I will try my best to compensate, I don't know what compensation Miss Jiang wants?" ”
"I don't want to compensate, I just want to marry the five princes, the emperor, I like the five princes, I beg the emperor not to take back the holy order, let the little girl marry into the Five Princes' Mansion, okay? The little girl will definitely serve the five princes with all her heart! Jiang He said, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said.
Jiang Shangshu couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw his daughter like this, he really didn't want to see her begging in such a low voice, but since she had done her part, then he would do his best for her.
So, Jiang Zhimian also knelt down and bowed to the emperor and said: "Ask the emperor to be gracious and give the little girl a marriage, the five princes are the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and Weichen knows that the little girl is not worthy of the five princes, but beg the emperor to accept her into the womb of the five emperors for the sake of the little girl's infatuation!" ”
He did this with the last bit of strength.
The emperor didn't expect that this Miss Jiang would actually like Shang Jingcheng, but with this thought, he smiled helplessly, yes, his son is a talent, and since the great victory on the border, there are many legends about his great achievements in Kyoto City.
It's just that since he has received the holy decree back, it is impossible to give another decree to give marriage, he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Shangshu, Miss Jiang, it's not that I can't make an edict, it's really because the five princes have repeatedly insisted, saying that they will only marry one person in this life, so please also ask Jiang Shangshu and Miss Jiang to know that this twisted melon is not sweet, and if you want to give marriage, you have to be consensual, right?" ”
Jiang He listened to the emperor's words, and the tears in her eyes were even worse, she gritted her teeth a little stubbornly and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to listen to the five princes say these words in person, and ask the emperor to summon the five princes." "Don't hear her with your own ears, don't give up.
When the eldest princess heard this, she nodded in agreement and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is very right, the five princes are the protagonists of this matter, what is the use of calling these five princes, it is better to summon the five princes, whether to accept it or not, it has to be said by himself." ”
She believed that she had crossed paths with the five princes after all, and he must have a good impression of herself, even if she insisted for a while that she would not be admitted to the palace, it was just an excuse to stabilize the woman with a big belly, she thought that she was good-looking, not much worse than the five princesses, and there was no reason why he didn't like herself.
"Your Majesty, since the matter of accepting a concubine is a foregone conclusion, the emperor has taken back the holy decree, and it is not interesting to bring Ah Cheng in again, Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law feels that I don't need to summon Ah Cheng." Xie Chuyao didn't want Shang Jingcheng to come and mix into this paralyzed water again, so he said out loud.
"The five princesses don't want to see the five princes admit that they like us, you are a jealous woman, you are obviously jealous to death, but you still have to look like you know the righteousness, the five princes must be forced by you to refuse to admit us into the palace!" Jiang He said coldly.
Jiang Shangshu also helped his daughter and said: "The five princesses might as well let the emperor summon the five princes, as soon as he comes, we know that the result will not be entangled anymore." ”
"Isn't the result still unclear? In the morning in the court, he refused the marriage in front of all the courtiers, how could Jiang Shangshu understand the law? Xie Chuyao's tone couldn't help but become a little indifferent.
The eldest princess came to Xie Chuyao and said, "What are the five princesses afraid of? Why don't you let the five princes come over? Could it really be that it was the five princesses who persecuted the five princes as Miss Jiang said? ”
At this time, the light shadow who had not spoken for a long time stared at her and said: "The eldest prince is really good at telling jokes, Chu Yao and the five princes are happy with each other, and the five princes are willing to stop accepting concubines for her, you are quite good at talking nonsense!" ”
The eldest princess was robbed by her for a while, her face changed, and she wanted to say something, but she thought that there was still an emperor sitting on it, so she stepped aside silently.
The national teacher glanced at her sideways and whispered, "Isn't the eldest princess making trouble?" ”
The eldest princess stared at him coldly and did not speak.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the five princes are the protagonists of this matter, and the minister asks the emperor to recall the five princes back, if the five princes say in front of the ministers that they don't like the little girl, then the minister will take the little girl back, and never mention the matter of the concubine in the future." Jiang Zhimian still wants to Bo Yibo, since his daughter is so determined to let the five princes come over, I am afraid that the two of them will have contact in private.
The emperor's face sank and he didn't speak, he didn't think there was any difference in summoning Shang Jingcheng, he just felt that Jiang Shangshu's brain became a little dull in front of his daughter, didn't this person clearly refuse to marry in the morning? What's the use of calling in again?
"What? The father summoned Yao'er and didn't inform the son, now that her body is heavy, the son-in-law should send some people to come with her! Shang Jingcheng's voice came in from outside, and after a while, he saw him walking hurriedly into the main hall, and he saw Xie Chuyao standing aside, so he walked towards her.
Well, this man still came uninvited, and it seems that he didn't need to bother to summon him.
"Wechen Jiang Zhimian has seen the five princes, and the five princes are Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"The courtier Jiang He has seen the five princes, and the five princes are Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"The eldest princess of Liguo, Yu Ji, has seen the five princes, and the five princes are healthy."
"Li Moxuan, the national teacher of Liguo, has seen the five princes, and the five princes are healthy."
The four people in the palace respectfully saluted Shang Jingchen, but the two people of the Liguo performed the etiquette of the Liguo.
Shang Jingcheng didn't look at them, but just flicked his sleeves and signaled them to be polite.
"Ah Cheng, you came just in time, have you seen Miss Jiang He, the daughter of Jiang Shangshu." The emperor didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the point.
Shang Jingcheng glanced at Jiang He, whose cheeks were slightly red, nodded and said: "When I returned to Beijing, I met on the streets of Kyoto, and at that time, Erchen's horse team was stopped by her. ”
As soon as he said this, Li Moxuan laughed out loud, he didn't care about this smile, but he brought all the resentful eyes of the Jiang family's father and daughter to him, and he was not in a hurry, he just nodded his head slightly towards them, as if the laughter just now was not from him.
Seeing him speak like this, Xie Chuyao couldn't help but gently tug on his sleeve, signaling him to give Jiang Shangshu a little bit of face, otherwise he would definitely have to argue with him in the court.
Shang Jingcheng patted the back of her hand lightly, signaling her not to tighten.
