Chapter 39 Princess Tai'an Selects a Prince Consort
Yang Guifei refused to compromise on her daughter's marriage.
"Your Majesty, Tai'an is so young, how can she choose a prince consort? She only looks at the man's appearance! As her parents, we should help her to screen him carefully, so that she won't regret it in the future."
The emperor frowned slightly. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but think of the year Taiping got married.
The queen asked for nothing else but to let Taiping marry someone she liked.
How come when it comes to Yang Guifei, she becomes satisfied with it?
Is Taian's wish really so unimportant?
He looked at Yang Guifei with a scrutinizing expression, and for once he was serious with her, "The most important thing is that Taian likes it."
Yang Guifei's smile was a little forced.
"I feel that Tai'an is still a young girl and doesn't know how to choose a husband."
"But when Taian saw Du Jiang, she really disliked him. It's hard to like someone you don't like at first sight."
But Yang Guifei insisted: "Du Jiang is very capable at a young age, and it is right for Tai'an to marry him!"
The emperor felt a little depressed after hearing this.
She is capable and talented, but if Taian doesn't like her, will you force her to marry you?
As a princess of a country, Tai'an does not need to seek benefits for her family through marriage. Why must she marry a man of outstanding ability?
He said nothing more and turned and left.
Yang Guifei thought he had agreed, so she turned around and went to Yan Xi Palace to do ideological work on Yan Shiyan.
But Yan Shiyan refused to do so.
She screamed at the top of her lungs, "I don't want to marry that ugly bastard! No! No! No!"
Yang Guifei tried to persuade her in every possible way, but Yan Shiyan remained unmoved.
Whenever Yan Shiyan thought about having to face that face day and night in the future, he wanted to vomit out the meal he had eaten the day before yesterday.
Yang Guifei also became angry and said angrily, "You only care about a face? Do you know that marrying a man with great power is much better than marrying those playboys?"
"No! Then mother will find me another one who is good-looking and has great power!"
Yang Guifei was so angry that her heart ached. How could anyone think of something more beautiful than her?
"You have to marry, whether you want to or not!"
Seeing his mother's tough attitude, Yan Shiyan immediately pulled out the golden hairpin from his hair and pressed it against his neck.
"If Mother forces me to marry that ugly bastard, I will die in front of you, and then you can give birth to another daughter to marry him!"
“You, you, you…”
Yang Guifei pointed at her and couldn't say a word.
…
Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother soon learned of this.
She stood up slowly and said to Zhong Yun, "Come on, it's time for me, the Empress Dowager, to take the stage and perform."
Nanny Zhong found her description a little funny and hurriedly supported her arm as they walked out of the Cining Palace.
When Yang Guifei heard that the Queen Mother had arrived, she became extremely panicked.
This old witch is definitely coming here to trip me up.
She went out to greet him, her face full of respect.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. If you have anything to say, please send someone to pass on the message. Why did you come here in person?"
The Queen Mother ignored her and walked straight into Yan Xi Palace.
"The whole palace heard you and your daughter arguing. Tai'an, what are you doing? Put down the hairpin for me!"
Seeing the queen dowager coming, Tai'an stopped making a fuss and quickly put away the hairpin.
Although she was threatening to commit suicide in order to make her mother change her mind.
But when facing the Queen Mother, she would still stand on the same front with her mother.
The Queen Mother asked her questions, but she said nothing.
The Queen Mother was not in a hurry. She just sat on the chair and said a few words of comfort slowly and calmly.
After a while, the emperor also came.
He asked what happened in Yan Xi Palace.
Yang Guifei was about to answer, but the Queen Mother spoke first.
"What else could it be? Tai'an didn't want to marry Du Jiang, but Concubine Yang forced her to do so. Now, she's trying to commit suicide. If we had come a little later, we might have been the ones to see him off."
When the emperor heard this, his face immediately turned dark.
He glared at Yang Guifei.
When she said she was here to persuade him, did she mean to force him directly?
Is there any mother like her?
Yang Guifei wanted to speak, but the Queen Mother did not give her a chance.
"Yang Guifei, who in an ordinary family doesn't want their daughter to find a husband they like? That's how Taiping got married. Why do you insist on sending her to Du Jiang now that she's here? Du Jiang is capable, but it's embarrassing to take him out. Taiping's husband is a better choice. He's a handsome man. When they go out, everyone says they're a perfect match."
Under normal circumstances, if the Empress Dowager had complained about Yang Guifei's faults, both the Emperor and Yan Shiyan would have been unhappy.
But today, the two of them surprisingly did not refute her words, and they both felt a little dissatisfied with Yang Guifei.
The emperor finally understood why Yang Guifei always said she loved her children.
But when it comes to taking action, they only care about the benefits.
He gritted his teeth and said to the Queen Mother beside him, "Mother, Taian's marriage is now in your hands. Mother, please take a look first, and then let Taian see if it suits your heart. If Taian is willing, I will grant the marriage immediately."
The Queen Mother shook her head. "I'm already so old, how could I have the energy and mind to care about such matters? Let the Queen take care of it. The prince consort she helped Taiping choose last time was quite good, and she's sure it will work this time too."
The Queen Mother felt that she was really worried about this unfilial son and that unfilial niece.
Restoring their relationship at all times and in all places.
Yang Guifei wanted to refuse, but the emperor coldly rebuked her, "Stop making such a fuss! The marriages of princes and princesses should be arranged by the empress."
Seeing these two people, one angry and the other aggrieved, the empress dowager was speechless.
Although I have always known that my son has no opinions of his own and is easily led by others, I still can't help feeling a little disappointed.
Whether it was her or Yang Guifei, he believed whatever they said and had no ideas of his own.
This is not how an emperor should behave!
Forget it, the emperor has been on the throne for so many years, why is he still thinking about these things?
At least this son is still filial to her now.
After the Empress Dowager returned to the Cining Palace, she sent Xiuping to the Fengxiang Palace to invite the Queen over.
When the Queen learned that the Queen Mother and the Emperor asked her to arrange Tai'an's marriage, she was so angry that she almost cursed.
What the hell does Yang Guifei's daughter's marriage have to do with her?!
She was willing to arrange her own daughter's marriage, and it was her duty to arrange the marriage of her adopted son, the prince.
If I continue to take charge of Taian's marriage, I would be meddling in other people's business!
It's a thankless job, whoever wants to do it can do it.
When the empress dowager saw her like this, she slammed the tea table so hard that the teacups on it swayed left and right.
"If you don't arrange Tai'an's marriage, then you can no longer recognize me as your aunt! Don't come to Cining Palace either. Just live out your life in solitude in Fengxiang Palace!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was really angry, the Queen could only agree to this matter reluctantly.
When Yang Guifei returned to Guanju Palace, she was furious.
Why should the queen be in charge of her daughter's marriage?
She never knew what kind of thing to choose for her daughter.
