Chapter 871: I really want to be a loving father
Xuanyuan Jin pursed his lips and looked at the Queen Mother.
"Grandmother, please judge for yourself. Prince Rui's intention to rebel was discovered in advance because of Tang Bao. Now that Prince Rui's mansion is given to Tang Bao, isn't this the perfect fulfillment of cause and effect?"
When talking about cause and effect, the Empress Dowager nodded immediately after Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking.
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
You little bastard, you come up with a good excuse!
As soon as Xuanyuan Jin saw the Empress Dowager nod, he immediately continued his efforts.
"Grandmother, you also know that she is young and has no family to rely on in the capital. She only has the title of princess, but she may not be taken seriously by the aristocratic families in the capital. She will be bullied in vain..."
When Xuanyuan Jin thought of Tang Bao being mocked and ridiculed without his knowledge, anger welled up in his eyes.
He must give her enough confidence so that no one would dare to look down on her!
"Your Majesty, Jin'er is right." The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Tianxi and said, "Although it's against the rules to grant Prince Rui's mansion to Fuya, we can just have the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works make some adjustments. I love Fuya like my own granddaughter. She came all the way to the capital, and I can't let her suffer any injustice."
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Emperor Tianxi said helplessly, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but the Rui Palace..."
Emperor Tianxi paused here, changed his tone, and changed the subject.
"When I dismissed Duke Yingguo Lin Hong from his post, I didn't take back the mansion I had granted to the Duke Yingguo's family. This was because Lin Hong was tactful and gave the mansion to Fu Ya's mother, thus giving it to the Su family." Emperor Tianxi said, "It would be convenient for Fu Ya to stay there temporarily when she comes to the capital. As for the Princess's Mansion..."
Emperor Tianxi pondered for a moment and said, "Why not wait until Fu Ya arrives and I set aside a place for her and have the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works build her a new residence? This way, we can adopt her own ideas and build a residence to her liking. This way, she will like it even more than giving her a ready-made residence."
After Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, he glanced at Xuanyuan Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said meaningfully, "There is no other princess in the entire capital who has her own princess's mansion. I have ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works to build a princess's mansion for Fu Ya. This favor is enough to let those aristocratic families know that she has my support behind her. Is there anyone in the capital who dares to bully her?"
I have to say that the emperor has a good idea.
Apart from anything else, who doesn’t like living in a new house? Who doesn’t like having their house built the way they want?
After all, the Empress Dowager had experienced the palace struggles. From Emperor Tianxi's words, she had already heard that there was a reason why the Rui Palace could not be given to Tang Bao.
Although she didn't know the reason, she knew it must be something serious.
Coupled with Emperor Tianxi's later plan, the Empress Dowager agreed even more.
"Your Majesty is truly thoughtful," the Empress Dowager said with a smile. "After all, this is Fuya's house, so it would be best if she rebuilt it to her own taste."
After saying that, he looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said, "Why don't you thank your father quickly? Your father has already made plans for Fu Ya."
"Your Majesty, your son thanks you very much." Xuanyuan Jin said obediently.
"Well, get up." Emperor Tianxi said.
Xuanyuan Jin did not stand up, but said: "Father, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Since you don't know whether you should say it or not, then don't say it!" Emperor Tianxi said decisively.
Brat, you're trying to do this to him?!
It's definitely not good words that are said!
Xuanyuan Jin paused slightly.
Then he said, "Father, please forgive me. I can't help but speak out."
"Then don't be quick, hold it in!" said Emperor Tianxi.
If you spit it out, you will be happy, but I will definitely not be happy!
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the Queen Mother for help.
The Empress Dowager didn't want to see the father and son, so she always challenged them.
So he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, just listen to what Jin'er has to say. He is young, and he needs your guidance as a father. If you don't let him speak his mind, you won't know how to guide him."
The Empress Dowager's words gave the father and son a way out.
Emperor Tianxi looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said, "For the sake of your grandmother's plea for mercy, please tell me."
Xuanyuan Jin immediately complained, "Father, even though the Duke of Ying's mansion was given to Tang Bao's mother, it doesn't mean it belongs to the Su family. Uncle Su didn't marry into the Lin family. Could it be that Tang Bao is going to live in the Lin family mansion when she comes to the capital? The plaque hanging on the mansion now is the Lin Mansion."
"If the emperor had intended to let the Su family live in that house, he should have taken it from Lin Hong and then given it to the Su family. That way, Tang Bao would have felt justified in living there and wouldn't be looked down upon."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Listening to my son's complaining tone, I felt unhappy.
"Tang Bao's father was a commoner back then. How could the emperor give him this house?!" Emperor Tianxi said angrily, "Could it be that the emperor would give such a large house to a commoner for no reason? Absurd! Do you think the emperor can do whatever he wants? Are the court's etiquette and laws just for show?!"
"Jin'er, your father is right. Admit your mistake to him quickly." The Empress Dowager said hurriedly.
In my heart, I was thinking about the problem of the Su family's house.
After all, the Lin Mansion is not the Su Mansion. If his granddaughter marries into the Su family in the future, the Su family must have a nice house in the capital...
"Thank you for your teachings, Father. I was not considerate enough and did not understand your earnest intentions. I know I was wrong. Please punish me."
Xuanyuan Jin admitted his mistakes very well and flattered others very calmly.
Emperor Tianxi felt much more relaxed.
If it were any of his other sons, how could they dare to speak to him like that?
This brat is so bold!
However, thinking that Xuanyuan Jin had been living in the countryside for all these years and had finally returned, how could he bear to punish him?
"It's good that you admit your mistake. Don't make the same mistake again!" Emperor Tianxi snorted, "Father has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Could it be that he is not as thoughtful as you?"
Xuanyuan Jin really wanted to say, Father, although what you said is very rustic, you have definitely not eaten as much salt as I have eaten.
Otherwise, how suffocating would it be?
However, thinking about what I was going to say next, I decided to continue flattering him.
"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty's teachings are correct."
As a result, Emperor Tianxi felt better.
After all, it is not easy to hear the words "Father is wise" from his son's mouth.
"Don't kneel anymore, stand up." Emperor Tianxi said.
The look he gave Xuanyuan Jin was very gentle, showing that he really wanted to be a kind father.
