The brat wouldn't admit it. "Father, how did I lie to you?" He had only kept his father's mind focused on the war, and had only made his father believe that the Yun family was able to defend the border because of the good teaching of Old Master Yun.
"Father, you surely know how old my wife is, right? The affair between my father-in-law and mother-in-law caused quite a stir back then, you must have heard about it, right? If you had heard about it, you would know how old my wife is."
"What does your wife's age have to do with your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" The Emperor had barely finished speaking when he remembered something. "Your mother-in-law is Phoenix Fairy?!"
"yes."
"..." The Emperor crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at Ning Yirong. "You brat, how many things haven't you told your father yet?"
He had heard about Yun Yuqi and Feng Chan, but he didn't know that Yun Yuqi and his ex-wife only had two sons, nor did he know that Feng Chan was now Yun Yuqi's legal wife.
He...he trusted this brat too much! "Hey brat, come here."
You never had the heart to hit me before. "Father, I was wrong. I thought you knew. Father, from now on, I will tell you everything clearly."
That's more like it. "If you dare to fool your father again, he'll whip you like Yun Xiaoliu did."
"Hehe... Father, my imperial grandfather, my imperial grandmother, and my mother surely don't know how old my wife is? Who is my mother-in-law?"
"Your grandfather probably doesn't know yet. Your grandmother and mother definitely do." If they don't tell him after they find out, he'll go find them soon.
Ning Yirong also felt that his grandmother and mother already knew. His father was busy with state affairs, and his grandfather couldn't easily inquire. His grandmother and mother were different; they had both the time and the ability to find out. "Then I'll go tell my imperial grandfather."
"Go."
After Ning Yirong left, the Emperor went to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress happened to be together.
When the Empress saw the Emperor arrive, she stood up and greeted him.
The Emperor ignored the Empress. "Mother, did you already know that Yun Xiaoliu was only twelve years old?"
Does the Empress know why the Emperor is ignoring her?
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor and smiled, "Yes. You didn't just find out now, did you?"
"...Mother, why didn't you tell me when you found out?"
"What good would it do to tell us?" You were fooled by Rong'er and issued the decree without consulting us. "The decree has already been proclaimed."
"..." You brat! "Then you know who her mother is, right?"
"I know." The Empress Dowager told the Emperor what she had found out. "Although her mother came from a brothel, she was willing to suffer with the Yun family. Unlike her father's previous wife, who quickly found an excuse to leave when the Yun family was in trouble."
The Emperor felt that Feng Chan had no choice. However, if his mother thought Feng Xianzi was good and was willing to accept her, his son wouldn't be caught in the middle between his grandmother and mother-in-law. "Yun Xiaoliu dared to sell her stepmother's dowry when she was a child?"
The Empress Dowager nodded. "Rong'er has good judgment, doesn't she?"
"Yes." No matter who her son chooses, his mother will always say that her son has good taste.
The Empress Dowager wanted to see what Sisi looked like. "Sixth Prince should have rested enough, right? Summon him in."
The Empress also wanted to see Sisi. "Bring some fruit or something before you go, so that Xiao Liu won't think you're summoning her to the palace to scold her."
The Emperor glanced sideways at the Empress. "She whipped my son several times, and I'm supposed to send her fruit?"
The Empress Dowager thought the Empress's idea was very thoughtful. "Yes, take something with you, so that Xiao Liu won't be frightened."
She wouldn't be scared; if she were, she wouldn't dare to hit her son. "Mother, she's a woman; you can just summon her."
"You are the emperor, you carry great weight."
"..." Could it be that his mother is afraid Yun Xiaoliu won't come? "Alright. She took General Niu's third son out of the city for a stroll. I'll summon her when she returns. You know General Niu wants Xiaoliu to marry his third son, right?"
"I know." Someone had already told her. "Xiao Liu is such a kind and righteous girl. If it were any other girl, she would have given up on Young Master Niu long ago."
"Yes." His mother truly loved everything about him because of his family. "By the way, the emperor's brother-in-law just came by."
The Emperor told the Empress Dowager and the Empress about Ning Yirong's frightening of the Imperial Uncle. "You don't need to choose a concubine for Rong'er. Rong'er will not marry one."
Empress Dowager and Empress: "..." When will she be able to hold her great-grandson/grandson? Yun Xiaoliu is only twelve.
The Emperor felt relieved. Good times should be shared, and so should bad times. "Mother, I'm going to attend to my business now. You two continue your conversation."
"Huh?" The Empress Dowager was still feeling depressed.
The Emperor repeated it again.
The Empress Dowager nodded dejectedly.
As soon as the Emperor left, the Empress Dowager looked at the Empress.
The Empress also looked over at the Empress Dowager.
Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came up with a solution, each wanting the other to speak on their behalf. "Mother/Daughter-in-law, why don't you/you ask Xiao Liu to persuade Rong'er?"
After realizing they had said the same thing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said at the same time, "Why don't we let the Emperor speak?" Yun Xiaoliu wouldn't dare to disrespect the Emperor, no matter who else she was dealing with.
The Emperor hadn't even left the Empress Dowager's residence when she summoned him back. "Mother, you wanted to see me?"
"Hmm. Tell Xiao Liu to persuade Rong'er to take a concubine first. Tell Xiao Liu that even if a concubine has a child, it will still be a son born out of wedlock, and no matter how favored a son is, he can never surpass the legitimate son."
The Emperor: "..." Why did he have to share his frustrations with his mother and wife? He's a man, and a man should shoulder everything alone.
"Okay, I'll talk to Xiao Liu. But if she doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do about it. Um, I have something to do, I'll go first. You guys talk."
After saying that, the emperor quickly slipped away.
The Empress looked at the Empress Dowager. "Mother, the Emperor..." It was clear she was just giving them a perfunctory answer.
The Empress Dowager also noticed. "Don't worry, I'll talk to Old Madam Yun when she returns."
Sisi took Niu Mingjie out hunting for five days before returning.
When he returned, Niu Mingjie was in a better mood than before. "Give him a few more whacks for me."
"Okay. I'll help you pursue someone you like in the future. Let me tell you, I'm really good at charming girls."
"Okay. I'm going back now. Can I come visit you again sometime?"
"Of course you can. If he dares to say anything to me, I'll have a good reason to beat him up."
"I'm leaving."
"Um."
After Niu Mingjie left, Sisi took Lao Bai into the palace.
When the Emperor heard that Sisi had arrived, he immediately let her in.
After Sisi entered, she first bowed to the Emperor.
After performing the ceremony, Sisi looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I've come to present you with a gift." Having hit someone's son, she had to comfort him; otherwise, she wouldn't have another chance to hit him again.
The Emperor looked at Sisi carefully. "Are you Yun Xiaoliu?"
"Um."
Why isn't she fierce at all?
Not only is it not fierce, it's actually quite cute.
He also thought that people who start a fight as soon as they meet someone must have some kind of violent streak.
This little girl is so cute, she should be easy to talk to, right? She should be able to understand his, his mother's, and his wife's feelings, right?
