Chapter 547: As mothers, it is not easy for us to do things for our children.
Empress Nie stepped forward to help the Princess of Jiping County up. She felt a sense of sympathy and sighed, but was a little embarrassed: "... I had thought before that when Shuangyan got married, I would confer her the title of Xiangjun. Now that Shuangyan's fate is like this, I have discussed with Your Majesty that since Shuangyan cannot get married, if Shuangyan is willing to bear the name of a cultivator with her hair tied to her waist for the sake of the country's destiny, Your Majesty and I can borrow this title to give Shuangyan the title of Xiangjun, which can also be regarded as a guarantee for Shuangyan... But you said that Shuangyan wanted to be with the second son of the Yu family, so the title of cultivator with her hair tied to her waist can no longer be used."
The Princess of Jiping County turned pale and understood what Empress Nie and Emperor Jiazheng meant.
This grace can be given, but Wei Shuangyan will have to bear the reputation of practicing for the sake of national destiny.
With this name, not only will she not be able to get married, but if she continues to be with Yu Chongen, it would be tantamount to deceiving the emperor.
Seeing the embarrassed look on the face of the Princess of Jiping County and her eyes reddened, Empress Nie sighed and felt a little sympathy: "Otherwise, let's set a deadline. If Shuangyan is willing to go to Yuqing Temple to pray for the country's fortune and practice with her hair untied for three years, when she comes back, I will make the decision and ask His Majesty to make her a county lady. By then, if she is willing to be with the two boys of the Yu family in private, she will at least have the title of county lady, so that she won't suffer a loss."
Queen Nie had already given in, but Princess Jiping was still a little hesitant: "... Your Majesty, Yanyan was delayed for five years because of the matter of the Fate-Changing Tower. If it is delayed for another three years, this..."
Before Empress Nie could say anything, Emperor Jiazheng arrived without knowing when, and it was unknown how long he had been listening. He snorted coldly and strode into the palace, saying in a cold voice: "The Empress has already given in, Princess, please don't push your luck!"
The Princess of Jiping County was so frightened that she knelt down and dared not bargain anymore. She just said that as a woman, she could not make a decision on this matter and she needed to go back to the mansion to discuss it with the prince.
Emperor Jiazheng waved his sleeves and said, "Back off!"
Princess Jiping was sweating profusely and hurriedly left. Emperor Jiazheng did not even glance at her. He just held Empress Nie's hand and said unhappily, "The Empress is too kind."
Empress Nie was not angry: "We are all mothers. It is not easy for us to live for our children."
Emperor Jiazheng said, "Be careful, or the wife of the prince of Xinguo will come and send a letter to ask for an audience, crying and shouting that she doesn't want her son to be with others without any status. The couple of Prince Jiping are too indulgent towards their daughter!"
"What if this was our A Yan?" Queen Nie sighed.
Emperor Jiazheng said sternly: "How can it be the same? That's our Ah Yan."
Queen Nie was speechless.
Different is naturally different, this is to let you experience the feelings of being a parent!
Emperor Jiazheng changed the subject again: "… Prime Minister Pang has come to see me again. The Eastern Palace has no heirs, and the country is unstable."
Queen Nie sneered, "Minister Lin's little daughter has reached marriageable age, and she finds fault with Aqing's offspring every day!"
"It's not that Prime Minister Pang is finding fault," Emperor Jiazheng sighed, "Your Majesty, I always listen to you. You can talk to me. I'm not asking him to divorce the Crown Princess, I'm just asking him to marry a few good ladies. When he ascends the throne in the future, will he have to leave the harem empty just for the Crown Princess? This is sheer nonsense!"
Empress Nie hesitated for a moment and did not respond to Emperor Jiazheng's words.
She knew this truth. As the crown prince, if she had no children and refused to take concubines, the whole court would be in an uproar.
If possible, she would like the Crown Princess to give birth to the eldest grandson...
Thinking of this, Queen Nie's heart moved slightly and she thought of Xing Xing.
"Your Majesty, aren't Xingxing and her teacher both excellent medical skills?" Queen Nie said with an urgency that she herself didn't realize. "Xingxing is also a good child with a good fortune. Maybe, maybe..."
Emperor Jiazheng originally wanted to say that the Imperial Hospital had the best doctors in the world, but they couldn't cure the Crown Princess. Even if Xingxing and her master were good doctors, they were just amateurs, so how could they be good?
But looking at Empress Nie's face full of expectation, Emperor Jiazheng suddenly couldn't bear to say anything to spoil the mood, and followed Empress Nie's words and said, "What the Queen said makes some sense!"
Having been married for so many years, Empress Nie knew exactly what Emperor Jiazheng was saying. She glanced at him with sparkling eyes, but was too lazy to pay attention to him. She clapped her hands happily and said, "I'll let Aqing go to the palace tomorrow and talk to him about this!"
Emperor Jiazheng looked at Empress Nie's tight and perfect profile, which was like that of a young girl. He couldn't help but move his throat. He was filled with emotion for a moment, took a step forward, and said affectionately: "Empress..."
Empress Nie glanced at Emperor Jiazheng again and said, "Alright, Your Majesty, if you have time, don't waste it here. We are an old married couple, why are we still being fussy? As for Concubine Rou Gui, I heard that the Seventh Prince has some signs of a cold. Your Majesty, why don't you go and see the Seventh Prince?"
The enthusiasm of Emperor Jiazheng was dashed, but he was not angry. How could he be angry with Empress Nie, such a beautiful woman and his first wife?
"Alas, it is only the Empress who always pushes me to other palaces." Emperor Jiazheng shook his head, "Then I will go see the Seventh Prince."
Queen Nie said, "Ming Yi's birthday is in two days, don't forget to visit Li Xiurong."
Emperor Jiazheng completely lost his temper and went out of the palace shaking his head: "Okay, okay, I'll go now."
Empress Nie is too lazy to care about Emperor Jiazheng. Her heart and eyes are now filled with Xing Xing. Who knows, maybe she can really help the Crown Princess to recover and have a baby!
If this is the case, the pressure on the prince to leave the harem vacant in the future will be less.
She never got the lifelong love she wanted, and she hopes her children can get it.
…
When Xingxing came out of Duke Xin's mansion, the "thank you gifts" that Duke Xin and his wife packed for her were so full that they could not fill up three horse-drawn carriages.
Whenever Xing Xing refused, the old lady of Duke Xin pretended to be angry and said, "Is it possible that the life of an old man like me is not worth these vulgar things?"
Xing Xing looked at the three carriages full of silks, satins, and rare medicinal herbs: "..."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Xing Xing had no choice but to accept it. She sighed and said, "Then I will have to bother the old lady and the Duke more often in the future and check their pulse more often. This will be regarded as the medical fees prepaid by the old lady and the Duke. But when the time comes, please don't give Xing Xing anything anymore, otherwise, I won't dare to come to your house again."
When the old lady of Duke Xin heard this, she was so happy that she agreed without hesitation: "Okay, okay, I won't give it to you again. But we are old, so please take a look. Seven days, no, ten days will be enough. Come to check my pulse once every ten days, okay?"
Looking at the expectant and cautious eyes of the old lady and the old Duke of Xin, Xingxing felt a little sad for some reason. She suppressed the sadness that came from nowhere and smiled, "Okay. Don't think I'm annoying, old lady and Duke."
The old lady of Duke Xin and the old Duke Xin were so happy that they couldn't hide it and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
