Chapter 751: Is the position of Crown Princess unfair to her?
Just when Mo Yingxue was puzzled, she suddenly heard Emperor Xuande say calmly, "Yingxue, tomorrow the weather is good, you should go outside the palace when you have time."
The good news came crashing down on her head. Mo Yingxue bit her chopsticks happily and was about to speak when she heard the queen speak.
She declined politely, "Your Majesty, Xue'er is learning etiquette with the tutor these days, so please don't let her run around."
Emperor Xuande looked up at her and said indifferently, "You are about to get married. You really need to learn some etiquette."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
The first person to react was the Queen.
She forced a smile and said, "It is true that I have been too pampering to her these years. Your Majesty, rest assured that I will definitely discipline her more in the future.
It also saves you from the risk of losing face for the royal family when you marry someone else when you are older and don’t follow the rules.”
No one had confirmed these words before, and the empress had also said them to Emperor Xuande.
But what did he say at that time?
He said, my daughter is the most noble princess in Da'an, so what if she is a little spoiled.
If you are afraid of getting embarrassed after marriage, then just don't get married. When the time comes, find a handsome man with a clean family background and marry him into the princess's family.
Even if the two get married, they can still stay in Beijing and stay by their side to fulfill their filial duties. This can be said to be the best thing that can happen.
But the attitude he showed now made the queen feel nervous.
Before Emperor Xuande could speak, she continued, "Yingxue is still young after all, Your Majesty might as well give her more time.
Although this child is a bit naughty, he is not stupid. With Your Majesty's careful guidance, he will naturally understand the rules in no time."
In this situation, even Jiaojiao noticed that something was wrong.
She looked at Emperor Xuande and said in a baby voice, "Grandpa Emperor, don't be angry. Auntie will be obedient."
Mo Yingxue's eyes were slightly red, and she clearly felt aggrieved.
She was about to speak when the queen glared at her, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
The emperor is such a fool. If he blames her for being late, he should just tell her directly. Even if he wants to punish her with a slap on the hand, she would agree to it.
They insisted on saying that she didn't know the rules, and used these words to hurt people, making it impossible for everyone to eat in peace.
It was clearly him who told her to do whatever she wanted and not to worry about those rules.
But now, he is still the one who despises her.
Seeing Mo Yingxue's head lowering, Mo Jinchuan spoke up, "Yingxue is my Da'an's noble legitimate princess. Even if she doesn't know the rules, no one dares to say a bad word about her.
Besides, I feel Yingxue is now sensible enough, and her words and deeds outside have never brought disgrace upon the royal family."
Mo Yingxue's eyes welled up with tears as she heard this, "Fifth Brother..."
She wanted to say something, but Mo Jinchuan changed the subject and said, "The Queen has only one daughter, Yingxue. Even if she gets married in the future, she will have to establish a residence at the foot of the Imperial City.
As for those other random people, dreaming of marrying her is simply wishful thinking."
Emperor Xuande's face darkened, and he exuded an aura of majesty without anger. He asked in a cold voice, "Why, is the position of Crown Princess unfair to her?"
Hearing this, the hearts of everyone at the table sank.
Now, the only country that can rival Da'an is Liang.
The Crown Prince of Liang, Wen Qi, happened to be still in the capital at this moment.
Emperor Xuande's intentions were obvious.
He had to agree to Wen Qi's previous request to marry Princess Da'an as the Crown Princess.
Mo Yingxue burst into tears and stood up, saying, "I don't want to. I don't want to marry that pervert!"
The Queen scolded, "Xue'er, don't be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty."
Although she said so, the look she gave Emperor Xuande was clearly filled with deep disappointment.
His Majesty had clearly promised her that he would not send their daughter to marry.
That Wen Qi was notorious outside, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was hated by everyone.
Apart from that damned prince title, what else in him could be worthy of her precious daughter?
If Xue'er married him, not only would she suffer grievances after marriage, she might even be tortured to death by him.
That's not a human being at all, it's clearly a beast!
The queen felt a sharp pain in her heart and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mo Yingxue was already in tears, biting her lower lip tightly, clenching her fists and refusing to sit down.
She couldn't understand how her father, who had always loved her so much, could turn against her so suddenly and even cruelly push her into the fire pit.
He was clearly forcing her to die!
Mo Jinchuan glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Yingxue, sit down first."
Mo Yingxue gritted her teeth and sat down, feeling her whole body trembling.
Song Yanxi noticed her strangeness, pulled her hand under the table, and wrote the word "peace of mind" on her palm under her aggrieved look.
She said that as long as the prince was alive, he would never agree to her marrying into the Liang Kingdom.
Mo Yingxue also thought of the conversation between the two that day, but felt even sadder. She threw herself into Song Yanxi's arms and burst into tears.
"Fifth sister-in-law..." She opened her mouth several times to speak, but was choked with sobs and couldn't utter complete words.
The queen looked at this and her heart almost broke.
In contrast, Emperor Xuande just frowned and showed no expression.
If you don’t know, you might think that they are not close father and daughter, but strangers who don’t know each other.
Even strangers would not sit idly by when seeing someone crying so sadly.
The queen's heart sank inch by inch.
What kind of man did she marry?
Emperor Xuande looked at Mo Jinchuan coldly, "If you don't want a marriage alliance, then you want to continue the war?"
Mo Jinchuan said without hesitation: "Fight if you want."
He met Emperor Xuande's gaze directly and said firmly, "Even if the two countries go to war, I will never agree to the marriage.
Even if the person they chose wasn't Yingxue, but a daughter from an ordinary family, it would still be impossible."
Emperor Xuande looked at Song Yanxi with a gloomy look, and asked coldly, "Yanxi girl, what do you think?"
Song Yanxi pondered and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the Liang State has been ambitious for a long time, and marrying a princess to stop the war is not a good idea.
Furthermore, Prince Liang was a violent man, and countless women were tortured to death at his hands."
She paused, then asked, "If the woman sent to marry could not endure the humiliation and unfortunately died, would Your Majesty continue to send people to Liang?"
Emperor Xuande said expressionlessly, "Even if it only brings us three or two years of peace, it will be enough for the border troops to recuperate."
He looked at Mo Jinchuan and asked, "If the Liang army came out in full force at this moment, Xiaowu, what are your chances of winning?"
Mo Jinchuan frowned, "Emperor Liang is not so foolish as to perish together with Da'an."
If the other party really came with the intention of fighting to the death, although he had no chance of winning, he would never let them gain any advantage.
The Queen wiped away the remaining tears from her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, your worries are premature. Liang State has suffered such a huge setback at the hands of the border troops this time.
They need rest and recuperation more than we do.
Even if His Majesty disagrees with the marriage, they won't dare act rashly."
Emperor Xuande asked coldly, "What if I close my eyes one day?"
