Chapter 649: Xiao Wu marrying Yan Xi is considered marrying above his station
Emperor Xuande's face turned slightly cold. "Dai Qiu, this is my intention. You don't need to vent your anger on the children."
Upon hearing this, Princess Huayang's eyes were filled with even more sarcasm. "Your Majesty, are you saying that I am the only outsider here?"
The Queen frowned and said, "I just learned the news a while ago. Princess, there's no need to be so angry."
Princess Huayang didn't even glance at her and said coldly, "I'm asking about His Majesty."
Being humiliated in front of a younger person would be difficult to endure, no matter how good-tempered one is.
Not to mention, the queen has never liked her "sister-in-law".
Her face turned cold as she said in a deep voice, "If Yingxue hadn't come to pay her respects early in the morning regarding the Emperor's illness, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark.
According to what the Princess said, even I, His Majesty's bedmate, am considered an outsider."
The Queen then changed the subject, saying, "Eunuch De has suppressed the news, and even the civil and military officials in the court only thought that Your Majesty had just adjourned court last night because he was still drunk.
The Princess entered the palace at this hour, could it be that she heard that His Majesty was drunk last night and came to visit?"
She deliberately prolonged the last few words, and a sharp edge was hidden in her usually gentle eyes.
Princess Huayang raised her eyebrows and asked with amusement, "Is the Queen questioning me?"
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "I am merely curious. How can you call it questioning?"
She looked at Emperor Xuande, who had a gloomy face, and said gently, "Your Majesty and the eldest princess have a deep brother-sister relationship, and it is normal for them to care about each other.
I just don't want the eldest princess to hear some unfounded words and affect the relationship between you two siblings."
Every word he said was a reminder to Princess Huayang.
Her arms were too long, her ears too sensitive.
Not only did she know the news that she shouldn't have known, she also hurriedly revealed it to the public.
They are a brother and a sister, one is the king and the other is the minister.
Even if we are from the same mother, there are some rules that cannot be broken.
Otherwise, it would not just affect their relationship as siblings.
Understanding the threat in her words, Princess Huayang couldn't help but sneer, "So, I should thank the Queen for reminding you?"
Emperor Xuande's face instantly turned irritated, and he said in a cold voice, "Dai Qiu, don't be disrespectful. The Empress is your sister-in-law."
Princess Huayang curled the corners of her lips, her eyes cold.
Ever since the daughter of the Chu family entered the palace, she had never properly called her sister-in-law.
If it weren't for the status of the Chu family in the eyes of the world's literary masters, she would not be worthy of the position of queen, let alone one of the four concubines because of her background.
It was just that the timing of entering the palace was right, and she was pregnant and gave birth to the lovely girl Yingxue. This was how she got an advantage after Shen Shu got into trouble.
Otherwise, the position of queen would never have been hers.
He even wanted her to call him sister-in-law. Is she worthy of it?
Fearing that Princess Huayang would say something unpleasant, Emperor Xuande said with a sullen face, "I am tired. If you have nothing important to do, please leave."
Upon hearing this, the Queen's gentle eyes were filled with guilt. "It's all my fault. Your Majesty is still ill, and I shouldn't have come to disturb His Majesty."
Emperor Xuande raised the corner of his lips slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Queen, there is no need to blame yourself. I am very pleased that you and Dai Qiu are so anxious to come to see me."
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Huayang, his eyes clearly filled with helplessness, "Dai Qiu, we are all elders now, so we should control our tempers on a daily basis."
Princess Huayang asked coldly, "Brother, do you think I have a bad temper?"
Emperor Xuande sighed softly, his expression becoming even more helpless. "Look at you, you're still so impatient even at your age, and I don't blame you for anything."
Did he never blame others, or did he not dare to blame others?
Princess Huayang was not only angry but also disappointed with this brother who was her half-brother and the closest person to her besides her parents.
She could no longer remember when their relationship began to grow distant.
From the death of Chen Shu and her mother and son?
No, no, no, she thinks it should be even earlier.
As early as when her Yao'er was killed by that bitch, her only uncle not only did not let the enemy pay with his life, but even advised her to consider the overall situation.
He advised her so much at that time that her mind was filled with only one idea.
Then let’s die. Let’s die together.
Perhaps even earlier, at the moment he sat on the throne, he was no longer just her, Mo Daiqiu's brother.
Just as he often said, being an emperor meant having to do many things he had no choice but to do, and he could no longer act arbitrarily as he did before.
She could understand, but she would never forgive.
Startled by Princess Huayang's cold gaze, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but slow down his tone and said, "I just caught a cold in the wind yesterday, it's nothing serious.
Look at you all, if you don't know, you would think I'm seriously ill."
The queen's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."
Emperor Xuande smiled helplessly, "I am more than ten years older than you, and sooner or later I will die before you.
If you can't listen to this, how can you bear it if I leave in the future?"
The queen's eyes were reddened by his words. She pursed her lips and said with a firm look, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and will surely live a long life.
If that day ever comes, I will certainly serve Your Majesty and never leave him."
"You..." Emperor Xuande was stunned.
He had no idea that the Queen had such deep feelings for him and was willing to be with him through life and death.
It seems that he had misunderstood her before.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and everything was said without words.
Princess Huayang looked on coldly, feeling that she had underestimated the queen.
Her brother is already old, but she can still be clingy to him, especially in front of two younger generations without feeling embarrassed.
Glancing at her expression, Emperor Xuande suppressed his displeasure and said, "If there's nothing else to say, please leave."
The queen bowed and was about to leave.
Before she could open her mouth, Princess Huayang said, "Of course there's something going on. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come so early to disturb you, my brother."
She looked at Song Yanxi and said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, this matter is somewhat related to Yong'an."
"Oh?" Emperor Xuande frowned. "Just tell me what you have to say. There's no need to keep me in suspense."
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened slightly. He looked at Princess Huayang and said, "It must be no small matter for my aunt to come to the palace specially."
Princess Huayang couldn't help but chuckle, "Look, I haven't even said anything yet, and they're already protecting me."
She looked at Song Yanxi and said in a slightly strange tone, "Princess Yong'an has a good eye. If she doesn't make a move, it's fine. But if she does, she'll pick the best one."
Emperor Xuande disagreed, saying, "How can an elder praise his junior like this?"
He changed the subject and said with a smile, "I actually think that Xiaowu marrying Yanxi is marrying above his station."
When Princess Huayang heard the word "climbing above her station", her expression changed instantly.
Regardless of whether these words were sincere or not, she couldn't bear to hear them.
Who the hell is Song Yanxi? Is she worthy of being approached by a child from the Mo family?
She is just a merchant's daughter, and she has been married before. She is not even qualified to be their concubine in Jinchuan.
Princess Huayang's face darkened as she asked in a cold voice, "I heard that the Marquis of Yongchuan was about to be kicked out by his two children. What does Princess Yong'an think of this?"
