The next morning, the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo submitted a letter to enter the palace, and the empress dowager quickly received her.
The wife of the Marquis of Ningguo explained her purpose. The Queen Mother knew Qin Danqing and saw from afar that he was an elegant and dignified child.
It’s just that her mother herself was a little unhappy, but since the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo had spoken, she naturally had to give her face.
The Queen Mother asked seriously, "Did this child enter the palace voluntarily?"
The emperor does not want to be elected and does not want to enter the harem, and I have not been able to force him in the past few years.
Although she was an adoptive mother, she was not biological mother after all, and she could not do such a thing as drugging the emperor and forcing him to favor a concubine.
Even if the ladies wanted to enter the palace, the empress dowager would definitely ask whether they were willing. Otherwise, as time went on, these ladies would probably resent her in their hearts for not being favored and having no children.
The wife of the Marquis of Ningguo smiled and said:
"Of course, the child admires the emperor. Otherwise, with General Qin's current achievements, he wouldn't need his daughter to enter the palace to consolidate his position."
In fact, Du felt that Qin Guangyu was not good at either literature or martial arts. In addition to finding a good in-law for him, she also needed a good sister to help him all the time.
Speaking of General Qin, the Queen Mother nodded. The Emperor really liked him, so she had to discuss with the Emperor whether his beloved daughter's status should be higher than that of other existing concubines.
After giving the OK and sending away the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo, the Queen Mother went to find Shang Xiaoyang.
When Shang Xiaoyang heard this, he remembered the reply from the secret guard this morning and his expression was unpredictable:
"Mother, Qin Danqing is currently on a hunger strike in the mansion to marry the Prince of Anguo. Why would she want to enter the palace?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, but she knew that the Emperor would not talk nonsense about such things, and she was annoyed with the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo who came to see her in the morning.
"I didn't investigate thoroughly and believed other people's slander."
The Queen Mother was embarrassed to explain, but she took this opportunity to persuade:
"But Your Majesty, you are already twenty-five this year. In ordinary families, children of this age are already in their teens. Moreover, the royal family needs a bloodline to inherit the throne. Are you going to destroy the throne that you and I fought so hard for?"
Shang Xiaoyang's expression was unclear. When he mentioned favoring concubines, his mind was filled with the scene of his biological mother's tragic death, and he lost his spirit.
The only person he dreamt of was Guard Qin. He didn't know what to do, and was very upset. He said perfunctorily, "Mother, I understand."
Seeing that he was not paying attention, the Queen Mother burst into tears and choked up:
"I know I'm not your biological mother, and my meddling is annoying. From now on, I'll just worship Buddha in the Cining Palace and won't talk about enjoying my grandchildren anymore."
Shang Xiaoyang saw his adoptive mother, who had always been noble, lose her composure in front of him. He took a closer look and discovered that her temples were already dyed with white hair. His adoptive mother accompanied him all the way to the throne, and she was the first one to propose that his biological mother be posthumously named the Holy Mother Empress Dowager after he ascended the throne.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Without mother, I wouldn't be where I am today. Mother, please don't think too much. I just haven't thought through some things yet. Give me some time."
After the two of them talked it out, their relationship became better.
The Empress Dowager continued to suppress the wishes of the old princes of the royal family who wanted to have an heir, not wanting to cause trouble to the Emperor.
At General Qin's mansion, Mrs. Du received a visit from the wife of Duke Anguo early in the morning. She was very surprised because she didn't expect anyone to come so early.
When Lady Anguo received the letter from Qin Danqing in the morning, she was naturally delighted. She had always been dissatisfied with the illegitimate child. When she saw him two days ago, although he was very beautiful, she could tell at first glance that he was a tough guy who was not easy to deal with.
Thinking of what the miracle doctor had said, and seeing that Qin Danqing had taken the initiative to ask for marriage, she would definitely be at the mercy of others in the future.
After reading Qin Danqing's letter, Mrs. Du was so angry that her face almost turned green, but she refused to admit it. Besides, she had asked her sister-in-law, the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo, to come to the palace today, and she was sure that there would be good news.
She insisted that it must be a prank by the servants, deliberately framing Qin Danqing. The only one who could marry into the Anguo Mansion was Qin Danruo. If the Anguo Mansion cared about the legitimate and illegitimate children, she could register Qin Danruo under her own name.
Lady Anguo was very serious: "Whether it is true or not, please ask Miss Qin to come out and see her."
Mrs. Du naturally didn't dare to do that. As for her naughty daughter, she went to see her early this morning and found that she was still on a hunger strike. She didn't let the servants give her a sip of water the whole day yesterday. She didn't expect that she could hold on until now.
After a long stalemate, the wife of Duke Anguo turned away in anger.
She then had Qin Danqing's letter spread around, and she was determined to marry him.
If Mrs. Du is obedient, the two families will be happy to celebrate the wedding. If she is not obedient, don't blame me for ruining her daughter. If all else fails, I will just marry Qin Danruo. I have the engagement letter in my hand anyway.
The wife of the Marquis of Ningguo was scolded by the nanny beside the Queen Mother. Her face flushed and she heard the rumors coming from outside.
She immediately went to Du's house to settle the score, as Du had dared to deceive her and cause her to lose the Queen Mother's heart.
Finally, he made a harsh statement that Du was not allowed to return to her parents' home in the future.
Mrs. Du sobbed. She had used the power of the Ningguo Marquis to do many bad things over the years. She still had a brother, and she would definitely make her brother divorce his sister-in-law in the future.
General Qin had been training his troops in the camp outside Beijing these past two days. Upon hearing the rumors, he immediately took action to suppress them. He hurried back to the mansion to find Qin Danqing, asking her about her wishes and the truth of the rumors outside.
After hearing this, General Qin was silent for a moment.
"As you wish."
Du collapsed and hit General Qin.
"How could you bear to marry Danqing to that half-dead prince?"
General Qin pushed her away:
"You didn't think this way when you sent Dan Ruoxu out. Now that Danqing is so eager to marry you, you'll be in even greater trouble if you don't marry her."
Mrs. Du was unwilling. "You have already taken action to quell the rumors, why should Danqing marry?"
Qin Danqing hurriedly expressed his attitude and swore to the sky:
"My daughter is determined to marry Prince An, mother, please fulfill her wish."
General Qin looked at Du.
"Let her get married. This time, everyone is quelling the rumors because I won the battle. Next time, no one will buy it. I don't have the ability to let her do whatever she wants."
Du went to the mansion of Duke Anguo to discuss the marriage, but was ridiculed by the wife of Duke Anguo. She wanted to avenge the morning's grudge, and she would never wait until the next day to avenge it.
The wedding was scheduled for three days later.
Qin Danqing happily prepared for her marriage, and three years later she became the queen.
At that time, all these people will have to kneel down and salute me.
