Chapter 162: Promise
Concubine Yu's unintentional words hurt the emperor's heart, and she was uncomfortable.
She and the emperor have been in love since childhood, and the emperor once vowed to marry her as empress. But after all, it was up to others, and he was forced to marry someone else.
This incident not only made the emperor violate his oath and feel ashamed of Concubine Yu, but also made the emperor lose his dignity as a man.
Forced to marry and forced to have children. It was the shame of the emperor's life.
Therefore, for so many years, Yu Cheng's performance has been outstanding, and the emperor can't love him.
The emperor's pain and concubine felt the same way.
At that time, the Cao family persecuted that after the queen gave birth to her eldest son, Concubine Yu could become pregnant.
In the year when the queen was pregnant and gave birth, Concubine Yu had been drinking child-avoiding medicine. It wasn't until the queen gave birth to Yu Chengli as the crown prince that Concubine Yu's child-avoiding medicine stopped.
This matter is not only a shame for the emperor, but also a shame for Concubine Yu.
When the two of them remembered this past, they were both heartbroken and embarrassed.
The hall was silent for a while, and Yu Lan came with Zhuang Yun.
"Father, mother."
"Maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother." Zhuang Yun saluted.
Concubine Yu immediately suppressed the emotions in her heart, raised a smile and said, "Yun'er is here, come over and let your grandmother take a look." ”
Zhuang Yun went over as he said and sat down beside Concubine Yu.
Yu Lan saw that the two of them looked a little strange, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with my father, queen and mother?" Worried about Ah Zheng's affairs? ”
"Not really." The emperor sighed and let Yu Lan sit and speak.
"Father, don't worry, I'll scold him when I turn around." Yu Lan was a serious relief.
The emperor said angrily: "What's the use of you scolding him?" Can you tell him to return to normal, marry a wife and have children? ”
"The minister can't do it here, Ah Zheng is very stubborn when he is a child."
Yu Lan pouted: "You and your mother can't persuade you, let your sons persuade you, isn't this deliberately embarrassing your sons." ”
The emperor was choked and speechless, and stared at Yu Lan depressedly.
Yu Lan has long been used to it, so he doesn't care.
Concubine Yu said: "Since Lan'er is here, let's help us come up with ideas together." ”
At the end, he motioned to the palace maid to take Zhuang Yun away: "There are many new things in my grandmother's palace, Yun'er go and pick them." ”
Zhuang Yun got up and said, "You have to say things that children can't listen to again, I understand, I'll go." ”
"Poof!" The three of them were amused by Zhuang Yun's young and old words, and their mood improved a little.
After Zhuang Yun left, Concubine Yu Guifei told Yu Lan what she and the emperor had said before.
After hearing this, Yu Lan put forward the key point: "Erchen thinks that the most important thing now is not what title to give, but whether Ah Zheng is willing to marry or not, and whether Jiang Shu is willing to marry." ”
This......
Concubine Yu and the emperor glanced at each other, and they forgot about this stubble.
The emperor wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Aren't the two of them close?" How can you not want to marry? ”
Yu Lan corrected: "That's the closeness between friends, Jiang Shu is also close to Yu Yuan, and the two also partnered to open Cuiyun Building." ”
The emperor was speechless.
Concubine Yu was a little anxious: "Then what should I do?" Now she's Zheng'er's only savior. ”
The emperor said: "I remember that you have a deep friendship with Jiang Shu, you go and persuade her." Women, after all, they have to get married, and it is better to marry Zheng'er than to marry someone else. ”
Yu Lan looked embarrassed: "I am a little familiar with her, but it's not easy to persuade people to be concubines." ”
"And I know her temperament, no matter who she marries, she will never be a concubine."
"A few days ago, she was asked to marry by various families, and they all rejected them one by one, which shows that she is not greedy for vanity, and she does not want to remarry at will."
The emperor and Concubine Yu glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Then allow her to be the concubine." ”
"This ...... Is it appropriate? Will the Manchu civil and military forces agree? Yu Lan was slightly surprised, and his eyes were worried.
The emperor snorted and said, "What annoys me the most is the private matter of marrying a wife, and I have to go through the civil and military permission of the Manchu Dynasty. This time, I want to cut it first and then play it, to see if they can endure it. ”
Yu Lan persuaded: "Father, you have to think carefully, don't be angry for a while." ”
The more Yu Lan persuaded, the more determined the emperor became: "Hmph! You just have to ask Jiang Shu if she wishes, as long as she is willing, I will make a decree to give marriage. Yu Lan hesitated: "Erchen thinks that such a big thing is still necessary to ask Ah Zheng's wishes first, otherwise what if he doesn't marry at that time?" ”
The two of them knew their son's temperament very well, and immediately sent someone out of the palace to invite Yu Zheng.
While Yu Lan is here today, he can still help persuade him from the side.
Waiting for Yu Zheng to come, the three of them discussed carefully how to induce Yu Zheng to agree.
Near noon, Yu Zheng came.
Seeing Yu Lan, Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sister is also here." ”
Concubine Yu said with a smile: "Yes, our family hasn't had a reunion dinner together for a long time, and we all left a meal today." ”
"The mother concubine called her sons just for dinner?" Yu Zheng sat down beside Yu Lan.
The three of them glanced at each other, and Concubine Yu said with beautiful eyes: "There are some other things." ”
Although the emperor has regressed, he can't pull his face after all, so he can only be said by Concubine Yu.
"I heard Lan'er say that you are very close to Jiang Shu and treat her very differently, but you like her?"
When Yu Zheng heard this, his face did not change and said: "It's just a friend." ”
"Then why do you want to be close to her?" Concubine Yu asked.
Yu Zheng said: "She is different from others. ”
"What's the difference?"
"She saved me."
Concubine Yu and the emperor were surprised and asked why.
Yu Zheng truthfully held it up.
After hearing this, Concubine Yu sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a relationship, the grace of saving your life is more important than the mountain, you have to repay it well." ”
In this way, Concubine Yu and the emperor felt that Jiang Shu could not be more suitable.
Yu Zheng nodded: "Don't worry, the concubine, the sons have tried their best to repay each other." ”
Looking at her unrighteous son, Concubine Yu frowned and said: "In fact, for the girl's family, the best reward is to make a promise." ”
"What do you mean, let me marry her?"
Yu Zhengmo's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he said against his will: "Keerchen has no intention of marrying a wife. And her status is low, and she is divorced, and she still wears men's clothes to do business, which is very contrary to the royal rules and etiquette. ”
Hearing Yu Zheng's words, she really didn't want to marry Jiang Shu at all, and Concubine Yu couldn't help but be anxious.
"These are all vain things, and my ancestors also married a second daughter as a concubine. There are precedents that you can follow. ”
"This ......" Yu Zheng looked at the emperor hesitantly: "What does the emperor think?" ”
"Ahem!" The emperor coughed: "Your mother is right. ”
Yu Zheng frowned: "Even if the ministers agree, the courtiers are afraid that they will not agree, or just that." ”
"Ignore them, as long as you nod your head, I will directly give the order and not give them a chance to object." The emperor waved his hand, and he was arrogant.
Yu Zheng was a little stunned, and then said, "But what if Jiang Shu doesn't want to?" ”
Concubine Yu said: "I heard your sister say that she refused to marry many people, and she is only quite close to you, so she must be willing to marry you." ”
"This is a lifelong event, and Erchen feels that he still has to ask her in person." Yu Zheng's face was solemn.
That's not going to work! finally let him relax a little, in case Jiang Shu showed a little reluctance, he was afraid that this matter would be yellow again!
Concubine Yu squeezed her hands and said, "The woman is thin-skinned, if you ask her directly, she will be ashamed to speak." ”
And she was married to the Marquis of Jing'an before, and if she marries low in the future, it will definitely make people laugh. If you marry her as a concubine, you can really protect her for the rest of her life. ”
Yu Zheng was silent for a moment, seemed to be a little shaken, and asked Yu Lan: "If you change to Sister A, will you be willing?" ”
Concubine Yu and the emperor hurriedly gave Yu Lan a look.
Yu Lan nodded stubbornly.
