"This is a lesson for you. If she doesn't care about the palace at all, you now have only two choices: either marry a commoner whose appearance and age you don't know, or live a vegetarian life, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and accompany yourself with a dim light for the rest of your life. Think carefully about this!"
"But she obviously could have chosen not to do it, could have avoided embarrassing me, could have taught me a lesson in private!"
"You're still not convinced, and you're doing it in private! Go back to the yard and reflect on your actions. No one is allowed to visit you without my permission."
Seeing that the servants dared not touch my daughter, I shouted
"Don't do it yet, take him away!"
As soon as the prince gave the order, someone took the princess away. Jiayang cried and shouted,
"Let me go, you all come to bully me, I hate you!"
These words struck King Rui's heart like an arrow. His daughter, whom he had always loved, began to hate him just because he said a few fair words.
Alas, it’s all debt. If you don’t teach well, it will come back to bite you.
His anger grew stronger, and he directed it at the princess.
"Do as I command, or I'll take you with me."
The princess had been irritated enough. She was irritated by Bai Zhiyue during the day, and was criticized by her sister-in-law when she got home. Now she was yelled at by the prince.
"If you want to be a good person, go ahead and do it yourself, humph!"
Waving sleeves and leaving
Now the whole family is in such a mess.
He was not without anger towards Bai Zhiyue, but his daughter had done something wrong first, and at such an important moment when the Emperor was making plans. Moreover, the Emperor had just apprehended the person and immediately issued an edict to reward her. Why? This was to support her and to save her face.
After all, my daughter was spoiled by him. Well, well, if she can't get married, just keep her at home. At worst, she can learn from the princess and raise a child in the future. With her father and brother around, they will always protect her in this life.
I have to say that Prince Rui is really a kind father to his daughter. If the daughter of another family made such a disgrace and refused to admit her mistake, she would have been sent to a temple long ago, or even died of illness if she was treated more cruelly.
I just don’t know if Jiayang can really think it through and understand things.
A few days later, General Cui returned to the imperial city with a large group of people and supplies. He left the soldiers and generals in the camp outside the city to guard them, and only brought the main personnel of the small court into the palace.
Food, weapons, gold, silver and other valuables also went into the national treasury.
The emperor won a great victory and solved a major problem in his heart. He was so happy that he started to visit the harem more often.
After more than half a year of recuperation, Donu should be able to give birth to a few princes and princesses if she works hard.
The emperor went to the empress the most, which made others confused. Didn't the emperor dislike the empress the most? Why did he suddenly change?
The two concubines who already had princes and had just been promoted in status and had been a little arrogant recently were suddenly in crisis.
But the queen knew very well that the emperor was willing to let her give birth to a legitimate son because all the followers around his father had dispersed and the military power had been handed over. Although the two families with princes did not have a good family background, some people began to approach them because of the princes.
Firstly, the emperor values legitimate and illegitimate children, and secondly, he hates to see anyone taking sides too early or winning over the ministers.
She had made up her mind that if she could really give birth to a legitimate son, she would definitely persuade her father and brothers not to be greedy for power. As long as they raised the prince well, she would definitely win. Not fighting is the real winning.
The Queen was right. This was what the Emperor was thinking now. He only had two princes now. Those self-righteous ministers, whether they thought that he was really infertile or that the Queen could not have a legitimate son, no matter what the reason was, it was not okay for them to take sides and make small moves so early.
Therefore, after resolving the major issues of military power and internal troubles, it is time to start the reorganization. One action has disrupted those people's minds, and some ministers and concubines will have to be careful in the future.
In fact, he has always had plans and goals. Since he came to power, he has been committed to changing the division of power and centralization in the court. Although he may not have complete control now, his words carry enough weight in the court.
With the growth and improvement of these new groups of officials, the power of the aristocratic families and nobles will be reduced, and the goal of centralization will be within reach.
The trial of Wanshanting and other descendants of the previous dynasty has ended, and their nearly a hundred years of planning and foundation have been basically wiped out. Now there are really no future troubles.
His life trajectory was also specifically spread, probably for the sake of the thousands of young girls who were once deeply obsessed with him.
"Have you heard of that former number one scholar who charmed the hearts of most of the girls in the imperial city?"
"He's been arrested, isn't he? What else could he possibly be doing?"
"I heard from my eldest brother-in-law's cousin who worked as a clerk in the Dali Temple that in order to create a legitimate identity for himself, he killed the mother and son of Wan Shanting who were originally registered as residents, and then settled in Yuyang under their names. His wet nurse pretended to be his mother.
In order to conceal his identity, he found a local village girl to marry. The girl was beautiful, gentle, and very skillful. She could do any kind of work. After the marriage, she took good care of him and he didn't need to ask for help at home or outside.
"Just because he looks like that, let alone the village girls, look at how many people in the imperial city are willing to sacrifice everything for him and even throw themselves at him to marry him. It's all because of that face that's causing all the trouble."
"Not only is she good-looking, she's also very good at pretending. If it weren't for Lord Rongfu revealing her true identity, you wouldn't be able to tell."
"That's right, go on!"
"It would have been fine if he'd treated her well after marrying her, but in order to have a legitimate reason to prevent her from having children, he killed her wet nurse less than six months after the marriage and used the excuse of mourning as an excuse to not sleep with her."
"What a bastard! Even if she wasn't his biological mother, she still helped him grow up with his milk. Why would he kill her just for selfish reasons?"
"This person is so scary. No wonder sometimes he looks at people with eyes that are like murderous knives. He is an evil person."
"It's not a big deal that they didn't have children from the same family, but they had tons of money, but they never used it to support the family. The family relied entirely on the woman's spinning and embroidery to support the family.
In order to let him eat better and dress more decently in the school, the woman worked day and night, and she didn't spend any money on food herself, but gave it all to him for his studies and imperial examinations.
As a result, within three years, this beautiful young girl was overworked and became extremely thin. Her eyes were damaged and she looked ten years older.
"This kind of person is heartless. Who knows what kind of delicacies he might be enjoying behind the scenes, yet he's still accepting the money a woman paid for her life. Is there no one saying anything about this?"
"What can I say? He was preparing for the imperial examination at the time, and all he did all day was study and practice calligraphy. It seemed natural for a woman to support him.
I heard that he is very good at saving face. He is very nice to that woman when there are outsiders around. He is considerate and caring. Even his in-laws can't say anything when they see it. They just want his daughter to graduate from high school and become a noble lady in the future.
Who could have predicted it? "
"Did that woman really die of illness?"
"Listen to me carefully. The three-year mourning period is almost over. It would be unacceptable if he didn't sleep with her for a long time. He also doesn't want the village girl to have children. He has other great ambitions in mind! In his opinion, a woman like that is not qualified to be his wife."
"He attacked the woman!"
