Chapter 652 I’m afraid he was brought here on purpose to piss him off!

The Queen also said, "Your Majesty, please speak quickly and don't keep us in suspense."

Emperor Xuande smiled and said "OK", his eyes slowly becoming cloudy.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Yan Qing was originally going to enter the palace to be the queen."

Emperor Xuande's words instantly aroused the curiosity of both Song Yanxi and the Queen.

What do you mean, she should have entered the palace as queen?

Not only had the Queen never heard of it, even Song Yanxi, Yan Qing's daughter and the person closest to her, had never heard anyone mention this matter.

She only knew that her grandparents were heartbroken by the affairs of her two uncles and that they almost divorced at one point.

In the end, it was my grandfather who gave in for his first wife.

He resigned from his official position to go into business, and strictly ordered the descendants of the Yan family not to engage in military service during their lifetime, so as to prevent them from experiencing the tragedy of losing their children before them.

As for entering the palace to become queen, it was really unheard of.

However, Song Yanxi should know that with the temperament of her grandparents, it is absolutely impossible for them to send their only daughter into the palace as a concubine.

Even if she was the queen, it was still a sword hanging over the Yan family's head, like a thorn in their throat.

The Queen jokingly said, "I have heard that Sister Yan was once the most beautiful woman in the capital, and she was also known for her carefree and easygoing nature. I am afraid she would not want to marry Your Majesty as your queen.

These square palace walls cannot hold back a bird that longs for freedom."

Emperor Xuande glanced at her quietly and said nothing.

The queen covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with shock.

She had just said it casually, but who would have thought that Sister Yan would be so bold as to refuse even the king of a country.

Not to mention, he also promised her the throne of queen, which all women in the world would covet.

How could such an eccentric person be so blind as to fall for such a heartless and unfaithful person like Song Huai'en?

For the sake of a lowly and despicable concubine, he abandoned his wife and daughter, making the entire Yongchuan Marquis Mansion a laughing stock in the capital.

If it weren't for the Yan family to rely on, the three of them, mother and son, really didn't know how they would survive in an empty house.

Understanding the Empress's thoughts, Emperor Xuande said coldly, "No matter how smart a person is, there will always be times when they are confused by love. It's not surprising.

Even Song Huai'en, who had been scheming all along, must be regretting it now."

The Queen's face darkened as she cursed, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as him. He's simply despicable."

Emperor Xuande laughed when he heard this, coughed lightly and said, "Calm down a bit. It's not worth it to ruin your health over such a person."

As he spoke, he did not forget to pay attention to the changes in Song Yanxi's expression.

Seeing that she was not moved at all, he knew that in her heart, Song Huai'en was as good as dead.

It was a good thing for Xiaowu that she thought this way.

After all, if word gets out that he has such a father-in-law, Xiaowu will inevitably lose face.

It is not a glorious thing for the royal family.

But there are some things that can be done, but they cannot be made public.

Emperor Xuande's face darkened as he continued, "After the death of his sister-in-law, Old Brother Song felt that he would soon die, so he came to the palace that night to ask to see me.

What he asked for that day was the imperial edict that Yan Qing was holding in his hand now.

If after his death, Song Huai'en dares to think of divorcing his wife, I will make the decision to have the eldest grandson inherit the title on his father's behalf."

Thinking of something, his eyes grew colder, "If Song Huai'en, that hypocrite, hadn't been strangled by this imperial edict, he would have written a letter of divorce long ago.

It's really hard for him, he has endured for so many years just for a title."

The queen was furious when she heard this. She wanted to curse, but she swallowed the words back.

This kind of person is not even worth her dirty talk.

Song Yanxi listened quietly, lowering her eyes to hide the mockery in them.

Your Majesty dislikes him so much, but you haven't done anything for all these years, right?

Given his relationship with my grandfather, my mother could even call him uncle.

So sometimes, people still can't live too transparently.

Being confused can actually save you a lot of trouble.

Emperor Xuande didn't wait for Song Yanxi to speak, knowing that she was angry, he sighed softly and said, "Girl, it's not that I intend to protect him.

You heard what Dai Qiu said just now, and I really don't want any bad rumors to spread before you two get married."

Knowing that the young man had a bad temper, he said patiently: "I know you are not a stingy child, and you certainly don't care what others think.

But even if you and Xiaowu don't care, you should at least think about the younger generations in the future.

If it were you, would you be willing to marry Jiaojiao to a family with an unfilial mother-in-law?"

The Queen whispered, "Your Majesty, these words are a bit harsh."

If it were up to her, not to mention driving Song Huai'en and the child he had with that bitch out of the Marquis's Mansion, even doing something even more extreme would be reasonable.

Since ancient times, the premise of a loving father and a filial son has been that the father is loving and the son is filial.

As for anything else, no matter how much I say, it's just bullshit.

How could Emperor Xuande not know what she meant? It’s just that some things change their meaning when they reach the mouths of those with ulterior motives.

In one’s lifetime, there are always many things that one has to compromise on.

Even though he was an emperor, holding the highest position in the country, he was not immune to worldly practices.

When he gradually lost his patience, Song Yanxi finally raised her head and said with cold eyes, "Your Highness is unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but smile, and said with relief: "I knew you were a sensible child and wouldn't embarrass others."

Meeting his smiling eyes, Song Yanxi said coldly, "Your Highness doesn't want Jiaojiao to encounter an unfilial mother-in-law in the future, but she also doesn't want to compromise for the sake of so-called rumors."

Emperor Xuande couldn't help but frown, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Song Yanxi stood straight and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I do not wish to conceal anything from you. Every word I say comes from my heart."

A word from the heart suppressed the anger that was surging in Emperor Xuande's heart. It would be even more irritating if he didn't express it.

He said with a cold face, "Don't think that I will ignore your insolence just because you say a few nice words."

Song Yanxi: "I dare not."

Emperor Xuande: "Don't let me hear these four words again."

He kept saying he didn't dare, but when he opened his mouth he wanted to make him angry to death.

Is this the daughter-in-law that his eldest son has been thinking about marrying home for so many years?

I'm afraid he was brought here on purpose to irritate him!

The Queen patted him on the back and advised, "Your Majesty, calm down and listen to what the child has to say first."

Emperor Xuande frowned, "She's clearly contradicting me, why should I listen to her?"

The Queen said, "Your Majesty has truly misunderstood. I was listening nearby just now, but I didn't feel she had any such intention.

If there is any deliberate intention, it is directed at the unfaithful Marquis Yongchuan, not Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuande laughed at this and said helplessly, "Just let it go. Sooner or later you will regret it."

He suppressed his smile, looked at Song Yanxi and said, "I have no intention of interfering in your family affairs, but now that you are going to be Princess Jin, you must always remember your identity.

"Every word and action must not bring shame upon Xiaowu, and certainly not damage the reputation of the royal family."

At the end of his words, Emperor Xuande asked meaningfully: "Girl, do you understand what I mean?"
