Chapter 880 New House (3)
"You are right." After a while, Emperor Yongle replied, "But there is no time."
"It doesn't matter who Jingxing marries. I don't want to control him, but he can't bring back variables. That woman's identity is too special. If Jingxing listens to her, it may bring changes to the situation in the future. I will never allow such a thing to happen."
"There is no time." The Yongle Emperor's voice suddenly deepened. "For the sake of our country, I can sacrifice anything. There is nothing I cannot be ruthless about."
He said, "Let them both come to the palace tomorrow. I want to see what kind of woman has bewitched his mind and remind him not to forget his identity. Don't forget your true nature just because you've been in Mingqi for two years."
Empress Xian De frowned slightly.
"If I let him marry a principal wife, I can also let him take a concubine!" After saying that, he stood up, walked down the long stairs, and walked out of the quiet hall.
Empress Xian De stood there with a sad look in her eyes. After a moment, she sighed and walked out.
…
Daliang had only one prince: Prince Rui, the Yongle Emperor's biological brother. This Prince's identity was shrouded in mystery. It was said that he traveled extensively with a venerable master at a young age, so from childhood to adulthood, virtually no one had ever seen what he looked like. Even Eunuch Deng, Yongle Emperor's longest-serving eunuch, knew nothing about him.
It wasn't until two years ago that news suddenly arrived that Prince Rui had returned to Longye. At the altar, the people were able to see Prince Rui's true face. He was indeed a handsome man with an elegant and noble demeanor. The hearts of the young ladies and wives in Longye were immediately drawn to him.
However, the sudden appearance of a certain Prince Rui initially raised suspicions, wondering if he was an imposter. But then they reflected on the strict and rigorous nature of the imperial family, believing it was unlikely they would mistake him. Furthermore, Prince Rui bore a striking resemblance to the late Empress Dowager, and even Emperor Yongle, he had a certain resemblance to her. The beauty of the Xie family, the imperial family of Daliang, was an undeniable fact.
After returning to Longye, Prince Rui resumed his status as a prince and immediately attended court with the ministers. Some courtiers objected, saying that Prince Rui had been isolated from government affairs for so many years and knew nothing about the situation in Longye and Daliang. How could he be allowed to participate in important court affairs? This was sheer madness. Emperor Yongle was furious and even punished several of the more troublesome officials. However, most of the courtiers were opposed, and Emperor Yongle couldn't punish them all individually.
Later, it was Prince Rui who personally resolved several difficult matters that the court had been struggling to resolve, and the opposition gradually faded. How could it be possible that he was completely ignorant of court affairs? He clearly knew a great deal. He hadn't been in Longye and hadn't participated in them for so many years, but he was capable. How could that prove anything? Was he truly a genius?
In short, in the eyes of the people of Daliang, Prince Rui is a young man with good looks, good temperament and good abilities. Most importantly, he is also very rich.
For example, the Prince Rui's Mansion was built to be as magnificent as the imperial palace.
However, Emperor Yongle was a wise ruler, and he was very tolerant of his brother, so he didn't blame Prince Rui for anything. It was just that passersby would occasionally stare at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion and drool, wondering which girl would be lucky enough to enter this mansion and become a princess, which would be even more proud than entering the palace as a concubine.
Who would have thought that after all the speculation, Prince Rui actually married a girl from Mingqi.
