Chapter 368 Brainwashing Master
"Whether Mu Hua is a good or bad child, I believe you know better than me. Now that things have come to this, you must not bear grudges because of this matter, and do not misunderstand each other. Find a time to have a good talk. Don't leave any misunderstandings, understand?"
Mrs. Pei warned.
She didn't want her daughter and Mu Hua to become enemies because of this matter. If she can keep her, it would be the best. If she can't keep her... Alas, it's fate.
She knows that there are no two women in this world who can live in peace for a man and get along like sisters. This is impossible!
Because people have selfish desires, and if they have selfish desires, they will be unwilling, jealous, and complain. Over time, these emotions will corrode people's hearts and make people unrecognizable.
If you really love a man, how can you watch him being intimate with another woman without caring?
Ehuang and Nuying are just men's beautiful fantasies. They all hope that their wives are as virtuous as Ehuang and Nuying, and they don't get jealous. They all use this as a standard to demand women. But
such people simply cannot exist in reality.
"Mother, I know. I won't have any grudges against Mu Hua because of this matter, become estranged, or even suspicious. I know it in my heart."
Mrs. Pei sighed at last, and didn't say anything more, leaving her space to calm down and think about it.
When the eldest princess returned to the mansion, the more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't sit still and went back to the palace immediately!
She wanted to ask her brother what this meant.
He knew that she had adopted Mu Hua as her adopted daughter, and he wanted to arrange a marriage for her adopted daughter, so why didn't he ask her in advance!
Besides, there are so many promising young men in the capital, with good character, appearance and family background. If he wants to arrange a marriage, there are many targets! Why did he arrange Mu Hua to the prince!
A concubine is just to appease those people who are obsessed with the pursuit or ordinary people, isn't it still a concubine?
He let her daughter be a concubine of Zhao Chengye!
Although she is an adopted daughter, in her and her husband's heart, she is their own child!
The princess didn't know how long it had been since she was so angry!
The emperor seemed to have expected that the princess would enter the palace for this matter, and he had been waiting for her.
He had to wait.
This sister seemed to have a good temper, but she was stubborn. Once she made up her mind, ten cows could not pull her back.
Just like the matter of the husband.
She was so sad that she thought her husband was dead. After waiting for several years, he persuaded her and tried all kinds of methods, hoping that she would find another one. She was a princess of the royal family, and it made no sense for her to remain faithful to a man.
She was still so young, she should find another one and start over.
As for her husband, he was dead, so what else could he do?
But she refused to listen, and later she simply lived in Jinling.
Now that the imperial decree of marriage has been issued, she will definitely go to the palace to find out the truth. If he doesn't see her, she will wait outside until he sees her!
In this case, he might as well meet her and make things clear. Otherwise, she will come to him to cry in the future.
The eldest princess walked in, saluted politely, and when she stood up and was about to ask, the emperor spoke first.
"I know why you came to the palace. Isn't it just to ask about the girl from Duke Cheng's mansion? You like her so much that is this little thing worth your rushing to the palace?"
If he wasn't the emperor, he would have said something as vulgar as "your bottom is on fire".
"Since my brother said so, I will speak frankly. My brother, why did you arrange for Mu Hua to be married to Cheng Ye as a concubine?"
The emperor glanced at her, "Why, do you think the prince is not worthy of her?"
"That's not what I meant! It's just that Mu Hua has no intention of entering the palace..."
The emperor interrupted her indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether she has this intention or not. Since she is the daughter of the Chengguo Mansion and enjoys the various benefits brought by this identity, she should bear the corresponding responsibilities." The
eldest princess frowned, "My brother, what do you mean by this?"
"I think you have lived in Jinling for too long, and you forgot about it and didn't bring it back! If you hadn't adopted her as your adopted daughter and valued and doted on her, would I be willing to sacrifice the position of the prince's concubine for her?"
"Among so many ministers, which one doesn't have a daughter? Which of these ministers' daughters is not worthy of this position? On the contrary, she is, after all, just an orphan picked up from the battlefield by the old Duke Cheng! How can she be worthy of being the crown prince or the concubine with such an identity?"
"I arranged the marriage for your sake!"
The eldest princess wanted to say that you are doing good things but doing bad things, and you don't even ask others whether they want it or not.
The emperor knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and said earnestly: "It would be fine if you hadn't adopted her as your daughter, but now that you have, she can be considered a member of the royal family. With her status, it will be difficult for her to find a husband in the future!"
"You won't look down on those whose family background is too low. Those whose family background is too high will definitely despise her background. Even if I marry her for your sake and keep her in the backyard to deal with her, what can you do? You, the eldest princess, can you reach out to other people's backyards?"
"It will be different if I marry her to Chengye. Although she is a concubine, when Chengye succeeds to the throne a hundred years after I die, she will at least be one of the four concubines. She is also a good friend of the Crown Princess. With the Crown Princess' protection, no one can bully her!"
"Isn't this better than marrying into a wealthy family and being bullied?"
Finally, the emperor said meaningfully: "If she is lucky and has a son or daughter, she will have no worries in the second half of her life no matter what happens to the Duke Cheng's Mansion in the future."
The eldest princess's expression paused, and her eyes flashed. She couldn't help but think about what the emperor said.
Finally, the eldest princess walked out of Weiyang Palace in silence.
The emperor looked at her back quietly for a long time without saying anything, and finally sighed, as if he was talking to someone, or as if he was talking to himself.
"There are so many rich girls in the capital, why does Zhaoyang like Xu Muhua so much?"
The eunuch standing aside just lowered his head when he heard it.
Fenghua Garden, Xu Muhua curled the corners of his mouth after listening to Xiaoban's words, "You are a hindsighter, it's too late for you to tell me this now!"
Hey, Xiaoban and a few others flew over as if there were hunters behind them, saying that they heard from the birds in the palace that the emperor had issued an imperial decree of marriage for her!
The imperial edict had already been read, and everyone had returned to the palace to do their work. It was too late for it to bring the news!
Xiaoban buried his head under his wings and said nothing.
