Chapter 231 I am more suitable to be the emperor of Daqian than Xiao Cheng
"You are a blood relative of the emperor, you have been living a life of luxury since childhood, you have a broad mind, vision and talent, it is not an insult to Gu Huai."
"If your majesty feels bad about this, you may as well order the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion to marry Qingyu together."
"No matter how old you are, you are both equal wives."
"Qingyu lives in the Princess's residence, and the daughter of the Marquis's residence lives in the Duke's residence. They fulfill their filial duties and serve their parents-in-law, achieving the best of both worlds."
"After cultivating oneself and getting married, my temperament will naturally become more stable. When the emperor wants to entrust me with important tasks, Gu Huai will not make mistakes again."
Emperor: ………
Princess Pingning was dumbfounded.
What she meant by reading by lamplight at night was not reading the poems of saints.
Princess Qingyu once said that men are like books, each has his own charm.
Furthermore, marrying Princess Qingyu to Gu Huai was not a marriage, but an enmity.
I swear to God, she didn't expect things to develop to this point.
However, Princess Pingning felt refreshed when she thought about the fact that Gu Shen, who always claimed to be well-behaved and had a clean reputation, was offered Princess Qingyu, a daughter-in-law who had countless lovers.
Well, just assume she's angry.
The son pays the mother's debt.
"Father, my daughter won't marry!" Princess Qingyu came to the center of the hall with her skirt lifted up and glared at Empress Dowager Xie fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Xie had already closed her eyes and was twirling her Buddhist beads, looking as if it had nothing to do with her, as if those shocking remarks had not come from her.
Princess Qingyu felt as if she had punched cotton and was suffocating and unable to breathe.
"Father, there has never been a princess who shared a husband with someone else."
"Father, I want to stay at your side for a few more years."
She was just a princess with an empty title, without any real power or rich fiefdom. Her identity could only scare young men from poor families.
Once facing the Zhenguo Mansion and Wuxing Shen family, she would not have the slightest advantage.
Marrying Gu Huai meant that she had to end her life of drunkenness and keeping lovers, and from then on she had to behave herself and abide by the rules.
Recently, she discovered a new top-notch product, but has yet to get it.
Just looking at the portrait presented by Lu Minghui makes me itchy.
She likes the cold, aloof and talented beauty the most.
Lu Minghui tried to please her and begged her to help them get married, and she agreed.
He was just trying to find a day to ask his father to show some favor to him and ask Qin Tianjian to select an auspicious day to set the wedding date for Gu Huai and Lu Minghui.
"Father, etiquette and manners can be taught. No one is born knowing them. Lu Minghui has only been back in Beijing for a short time..."
Duan and the eldest princess Mumu interrupted, "Half a year is not a short time."
"An experienced nanny can quickly learn in three months."
Princess Qingyu: Who did she offend? Why did they team up to bully her?
The emperor looked at Princess Duanhe and said meaningfully, "Does Duanhe agree with the emperor's sister-in-law's suggestion?"
"I just don't dare to agree with Qingyu." Princess Duanhe explained seriously.
"My Royal Brother, you don't know that the girl from the Marquis' Mansion is really a little cunning and stupid."
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. "I will think about the marriage proposal again."
"It's Gu Huai, let him return to Beijing."
"Young people still need more experience before they can stand on their own."
"Let's end today's family dinner here."
The night lights are blowing and the palace lights are swaying.
In the night, Empress Dowager Xie sat on the sedan chair, no longer needing to hide her emotions.
She was once the most noble woman in this palace.
Emperor Wencheng loved her and gave her the honor and dignity of an empress.
Her son was filial to her, and there was nothing to fault with him except that he was a little too stubborn when it came to Shu Yuan.
In the end, nothing was achieved after the palace coup.
In the distance, I seemed to see a figure standing outside Changning Palace.
The current emperor was raised by her and Emperor Wencheng as their son.
When she was young, she naively called her mother.
What's the result?
"Sister-in-law."
The palace servants were all smart people. They stopped their sedan chairs and stood in a safe place.
Empress Dowager Xie suppressed the hatred surging in her heart, looked calm, and walked slowly over.
"Why did the Empress's sister-in-law interfere in this matter today?" the emperor asked directly.
Empress Dowager Xie remained calm, spinning her Buddhist beads as she said, "I can't bear to see Sister Yongming being wronged."
"There are fewer and fewer old friends, so I'll protect as many as I can."
The emperor looked at her with an appraising gaze. “Really?”
"I thought the Queen's sister-in-law was resentful of the Duke of Zhenguo for standing idly by."
Empress Dowager Xie curled her lips, her voice cool and light, like the wind blowing past her sleeves, "Then aren't the ones I should hate the most your Majesty and the Qin family?"
"Sister-in-law." The emperor's face became even more gloomy and he threw the lantern in his hand to the ground.
The scene in front of me suddenly darkened, leaving only the faint moonlight above my head.
He raised his hands, and secret guards descended from the sky and took the palace maids and eunuchs away.
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother gave me my name, and you and my brother raised me."
"You and my brother always say that you raise me as your own son, then why is the position of crown prince Xiao Cheng, and why is the throne also Xiao Cheng's?"
"Obviously, I am better at academics and I am more like my brother."
"Yes, I know I can't compare to Xiao Cheng, but why did my brother leave a will to inherit me before he died?"
"Are you worried that Xiao Cheng, who is inferior to me in every way, can't control me?"
"If I hadn't been so well-informed, I wouldn't know which branch it was."
"I am more suitable to be the emperor of Daqian than Xiao Cheng."
"Is Xiao Cheng also worthy?"
"Xiao Cheng is a traitor who is despised by everyone!"
"Originally, I could have removed Xiao Cheng from office earlier, but who would have thought that Shu Yuan would willingly purify herself and enter the palace, silencing all the scholars in the world and eliminating a great disaster for Xiao Cheng."
His name is Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Cheng are worlds apart.
Xiao Yao's words buzzed in Empress Dowager Xie's ears.
Empress Dowager Xie felt dizzy and a mouthful of blood gushed out of her throat, splashing onto the ground.
"Emperor's sister-in-law." Xiao Yao's pupils shrank and he raised his hand subconsciously.
Empress Dowager Xie took two steps back, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "The entire Xie family is innocent."
Xiao Yao lowered his hands as if nothing had happened. "The Xie family has committed treason and treason, and they deserve it."
As long as the Xie family is not destroyed, he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne.
"Sister-in-law, I am still willing to support you today. Please don't be ignorant of what is good for you."
"Is the Queen's sister-in-law still unwilling to tell us the whereabouts of Heng'er?"
"I wonder if Lord Xie's body can bear it."
"By the way, I got the latest news. Xie San had a brief romance with a female confidante."
"That woman is very lucky to have the Xie family's child. The mother and son have been dependent on each other for the past few years."
"Sister-in-law, if I ordered someone to send that woman to a brothel and send that child to Changning Palace to serve you, would you be happy?"
Saving the life of the old lady Xie is never a mercy.
Empress Dowager Xie's pupils trembled, and her whole body felt like it was soaked in ice water in winter, making her shiver.
"Heng'er died in the fire and became a pile of charred bones."
“You saw it with your own eyes.”
Xiao Yao curled his lips slightly and said, "I don't believe there are such coincidences in this world."
"Forget it. If the Empress-in-law doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."
"Sister-in-law, do you really want Qingyu to marry Gu Huai?"
The sound of wind and rain at night
