The other party smiled but said nothing.
The people around were in an uproar again.
"Don't say that, don't say that! It's not impossible!
Especially since these two events happened so close to each other, they are more or less related.”
"If this is true, then Your Majesty is..."
The person who spoke didn't dare to say the rest of the words, but everyone knew what he was going to say.
"So what? If Miss Wang and Young Master Zhao are in love with each other, then your Majesty's actions are undoubtedly breaking up the lovers.
But the problem is, everyone knows that Miss Wang said she wanted to cancel the engagement and help the couple get together.
Your Majesty, what you did is obviously a good thing!"
“Come to think of it, it seems to be true.”
“Yes, yes, and we still don’t know whether His Majesty really has any feelings for the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
All this is just our speculation.
We’ll know the details in a few days.”
........
The people were talking about it, but they didn't think anything of what Emperor Yin Huaixu had done.
The impact on Yin Huaixu's reputation as Ying Xixi had expected did not occur.
At the Wang family, Ying Xixi and Wang Ruyi looked at each other after receiving the imperial edict.
Ying Xixi noticed the confusion and complexity in Wang Ruyi's eyes. Without saying anything, she took the imperial edict and planned to return to her own courtyard.
Wang Fushang had a complicated expression, not knowing whether he should be happy or not. He chased Ying Xixi and asked her.
"Xixi, are you aware of this? Did you tell His Majesty about it?
Will you enter the palace? Did His Majesty tell you anything else?
Now that His Majesty has issued the decree, I don’t know how the Zhao family will react.
The person the Zhao family wanted to marry was you."
Ying Xixi stopped and turned around, seeing Wang Ruyi following silently behind her, she spoke.
"Father, didn't you want me to cancel my engagement with the Zhao family and enter the palace?
Now that my engagement is cancelled, what else are you dissatisfied with?
His Majesty has also issued an edict to grant marriage to my third sister and Zhao Mu. After all, the Zhao family is your in-laws and this will not change.
Father should be happy."
Ying Xixi did not directly answer Wang Fushang's question, and continued walking forward after speaking.
Wang Fushang frowned and thought, "But the Zhao family wants to marry you. Now that His Majesty has issued an order, if the Zhao family is dissatisfied, let them go to His Majesty!
Then Xixi, will you enter the palace?
It was you who mentioned the cancellation of the engagement to His Majesty, right?"
Ying Xixi didn't say anything, and Wang Fushang took it as her consent.
Mr. Wang said a few more words to her symbolically and then left. Wang Ruyi followed her into the courtyard.
Ying Xixi sat down on the soft couch.
"What do you want to say?"
Wang Ruyi sat down at the table and looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Why would His Majesty grant me and Zhao Mu a marriage for no reason?
Did you say something to His Majesty?"
Ying Xixi nonchalantly said, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
"If so, I thank you. If not, I still think His Majesty did this because of you.
I still want to thank you.”
Ying Xixi curled her lips, "Then I accept your thanks."
Wang Ruyi pursed her lips and stood up. "Sister, I will keep your secret for you. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just tell me."
After saying that, she left.
Ying Xixi stroked the scroll of the imperial edict and found it inexplicably funny.
She and Wang Ruyi were originally rivals in love.
......
On the Zhao family side, Zhao Mu also received two imperial edicts.
The sudden appearance of Eunuch Fu and the sudden decree of His Majesty.
The Zhao family was caught off guard.
After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, the Zhao family's first reaction was definitely that Wang Xixi had told His Majesty that she wanted to cancel the engagement!
Otherwise, why would Your Majesty do this for no reason?
The Zhao family received the imperial edict, and after Eunuch Fu left, they planned to go to the Wang family to find Wang Xixi and ask her clearly.
However, as soon as the family of three went out, they were stopped by guards who appeared from nowhere.
"Lord Zhao, His Majesty invites you."
Although Lord Zhao had reached the third rank, he was not completely ignorant. He asked his wife and children to return home and followed the guards into the palace.
When he returned to the Zhao Mansion from the palace, he did not let his wife and children go to the Wang family to ask Wang Xixi anything, but asked them to prepare for his marriage with Wang Ruyi.
Zhao Mu also understood.
It seems that it was not Wang Xixi who took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
It was His Majesty who had this idea.
A few days later, a certain emperor who had made up his mind issued an order to marry Wang Xixi, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, and promised her the position of queen.
This decree is even more frightening than the two imperial decrees issued a few days ago.
Not only were the people talking about it, but the officials were also furious.
Your Majesty, it’s fine if you cancel the selection of concubines, as long as the concubines in the palace are chosen from their daughters.
Then, unexpectedly, His Majesty allowed a merchant's daughter into the palace and even promised her the title of Empress!
If His Majesty does this, what will happen to their daughter?!
Officials who had legitimate daughters and wanted to send them to the palace had their interests damaged, and they all submitted memorials asking the emperor to reconsider.
Once Yin Huaixu makes a decision, it is difficult for others to change him.
Especially when it comes to people he cares about, it is even more difficult to change.
Yin Huaixu said, "My mind is made up. Anyone who dares to mention this matter again will be dragged out and beaten with fifty sticks," which directly shut the officials up.
They know that His Majesty's words are final.
If they were really beaten with fifty lashes, they would not be able to survive.
