She offered to marry Prince Yu as a concubine, but he refused.
Grand Tutor Yao fully expected the emperor to agree immediately, but unexpectedly, he was told to go back and wait for news.
He was absolutely furious.
How could this be? Why doesn't the emperor show any respect?
They really don't respect him as a teacher.
Does that mean his daughter has to be forced to become a concubine and that Prince Yu has to pick and choose?
Grand Tutor Yao paced back and forth in the room, filled with regret. He shouldn't have spoken up.
The emperor was no longer the student who listened to him in everything.
He failed to recognize his own position.
Madam Yao hadn't expected this either.
The beautiful daughter of the Grand Tutor's family only asked for the position of a concubine, but the Emperor refused.
It turns out that the usual riotous display of flowers was all an illusion.
Madam Yao was indignant.
What's wrong with her daughter?
How could the Emperor disregard even a trace of the teacher-student relationship?
"Master, what should we do? Our daughter's reputation can't be ruined like this!" Madam Yao said anxiously.
"I never expected the emperor to have such an attitude. It's infuriating!" Grand Tutor Yao said through gritted teeth.
"Did His Majesty refuse outright?" Madam Yao asked.
"He told me to come back and wait for news." Grand Tutor Yao was restless and anxious.
His daughter, whom he cherished dearly.
If he is rejected, he will definitely become a laughing stock in Beijing.
"Why don't we go directly to Prince Yu?" said Madam Yao.
If Prince Yu agrees, he can plead with the emperor, who might grant the marriage out of consideration for his son.
Madam Yao refused to believe that Prince Yu would look down on the Grand Tutor's mansion.
Grand Tutor Yao's students were spread throughout the court, which was a great help to any prince.
Grand Tutor Yao has not clearly taken sides for so long because he does not want to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
"No! The emperor is clearly making things difficult for us on purpose; these methods probably won't work. If I go to Prince Yu, the emperor will accuse me of forming a clique for personal gain." Grand Tutor Yao shook his head.
He was aware of his student's suspicious and cruel nature.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and a servant ran in to report: "Master, someone from the palace has arrived!"
Grand Tutor Yao and his wife exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of foreboding.
Grand Tutor Yao and his wife hurriedly went out to greet him, only to find an unfamiliar eunuch standing at the door with a hint of arrogance on his face.
"Grand Tutor Yao, receive the imperial decree." The eunuch unfolded the decree and read it aloud.
As Grand Tutor Yao and his wife listened to the contents of the imperial edict, their faces grew paler and paler.
How could the Emperor do such a thing?
Even if their daughters couldn't become the Prince of Yu's concubines, they couldn't just be given a marriage marriage.
The emperor not only rejected the Yao family's marriage proposal, but also bestowed his daughter upon the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was a complete scoundrel.
The emperor actually bestowed her daughter upon the fourth prince as a concubine.
"Grand Tutor! Aren't you going to accept the imperial decree?" the eunuch delivering the decree asked.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace! Long live the Emperor!" Even though Grand Tutor Yao was unwilling, he had no choice but to respectfully accept the imperial decree.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree left,
Madam Yao's body went limp, and she almost fainted.
Grand Tutor Yao supported his wife, his heart filled with despair and anger.
He knew this was the emperor's warning to him; if he dared to act rashly again, the good days of the Grand Tutor's mansion would probably be over.
Meanwhile, the eldest daughter of the Yao family was unaware of what had happened at home. She was eagerly awaiting the Prince of Yu's reply, completely oblivious to the enormous changes that had taken place in her life.
When the news reached the Prince Yu's residence, Lin Muheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, his father did not disappoint him.
Grand Tutor Yao shot himself in the foot.
Jiang Chuwei listened to Chunqin's report.
Seeing the princess's expressionless face, Chunqin couldn't help but ask, "Miss! Are you unhappy?"
"I'm neither happy nor disappointed. It's someone else's business and has nothing to do with me."
“How could it be unrelated? Miss Yao is asking to marry a prince,” Chunqin said anxiously.
"Did she get married?"
"No."
"That settles it then. If she can't marry into the Prince Yu's mansion, it's none of my business."
Chunqin didn't know what to say.
The princess circled around as if it were a trivial matter.
These past few days, the maids in Chunhui Courtyard have been on edge.
Although they could all see how good the prince was to the princess.
But once Miss Yao actually married into the family, she never had a peaceful day again.
After this incident, they all realized the situation.
The fact that the prince did not take a concubine this time does not mean that no new women will enter the palace in the future.
No wonder Granny Qiu was so eager for the princess to have a child.
It's all about letting the princess give birth to a legitimate son while she's still in favor, to solidify her position.
The atmosphere in Chunhui Courtyard suddenly turned cold.
Jiang Chuwei knew what they were worried about.
She called over Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, saying, "You don't need to worry about me. There won't be any other women around the Prince."
"It's common for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Stop whispering amongst yourselves. What business is it of yours to interfere in the master's affairs?" Granny Qiu brought in ginseng soup.
We must drive out spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
"Your Highness! It's time for your ginseng soup."
The maids were much relieved at this point.
The princess said that the prince would not have any other women, and they were willing to believe it.
Just now, Lin Muheng's leg, which had been inside the room, came out again.
He needed to calm down first.
He hadn't expected the princess to trust him so much.
