After a while, Xiao Heng arrived. Emperor Yuanfeng didn't waste any words and repeated to him what Mrs. He had said. He asked him what he thought, and then looked at Xiao Heng's expression carefully.
This matter is actually quite shocking.
But when Xiao Heng heard it, he actually laughed.
Emperor Yuanfeng knew it in his heart, and Xiao Heng also thought that this was feasible.
He already had a plan in mind.
Xiao Heng smiled and said, "I was just thinking about how to deal with this matter, how to get you to agree to let me take Yaoyao with me, but I didn't expect that grandma would personally speak for us. That's great, it saves me a lot of trouble. Grandpa, I also want to take Yaoyao with me, please agree."
Mrs. He was very satisfied with Xiao Heng's attitude.
Men, first of all, must know how to care about their wives. If even their wives don’t understand and appreciate them, then no matter how good they are, it’s useless.
Emperor Yuanfeng glared at Xiao Heng, but did not strongly object. He just hesitated for a moment before saying, "What can we say to the outside world?"
That's a promise.
Xiao Heng hurriedly thanked him.
Emperor Yuanfeng was annoyed: "Alright, alright, I haven't agreed yet, you really can strike at the snake while it's still there!"
But even though he was scolding, his tone was smiling and indulgent.
Today, Mrs. He and Xiao Heng talked to him together, which had never happened before.
Especially Mrs. He. She used to always ignore him and only respond to him reluctantly. Her words were always sarcastic and perfunctory and forced. But today was different. When Mrs. He spoke to her today, she was truly happy and was truly discussing something with him. Of course he could hear it.
Because of this, he really considered the feasibility of this matter, and even went to talk to Concubine Pang about it: "Don't hand over the palace affairs to her recently, just stay busy for a while."
Concubine Pang was a little shocked. She thought she had misheard for a moment. She looked at Emperor Yuanfeng in shock and asked him, "What did your Majesty say? Are you saying that you want Xiaoyao to go to Zhejiang with you? But that's too far!"
Not only was it too far away, but Su Yao was a female candidate. There had never been such a precedent before, unless the emperor was on a secret visit or inspecting the south of the Yangtze River.
Even this was a long, long time ago.
Emperor Yuanfeng had said the same thing before, but now that Concubine Pang said so, he seemed to be nonchalant: "What's the big deal? Just treat it as an inspection. It's not uncommon. Besides, they are just newlyweds. If I force them to be separated for too long, how can they give birth to great-grandchildren for me?"
Concubine Pang had nothing to say.
Emperor Yuanfeng told Empress Dowager Tian about this matter again.
Empress Dowager Tian was much more direct. She said, "I have been thinking about this these days, and I was worried about how Xiaoxiao would feel wronged. Now that I hear you say this, I feel relieved."
Well, Queen Mother Tian didn’t say a word of objection.
Emperor Yuanfeng thought this matter was a trivial matter. He said, "I just don't know how to shut up the censor."
"Why can't we block it?" Empress Dowager Tian said calmly, "Just say that you are going to Lingyin Temple to pray for me! I am so old, don't you think it is worthy for the Grand Concubine to make this trip to pray for me?"
Emperor Yuanfeng's eyes lit up!
Yes, if they said they went there to pray for Empress Dowager Tian, who could say anything? This is filial piety!
Emperor Yuanfeng did not delay. After announcing that the Crown Prince would go on a tour of Zhejiang, he also announced that the Crown Princess would go with him, with the reason being to pray for Empress Dowager Tian.
If there had been no pretext of praying for blessings, the court officials would have jumped out to say a few words, but with the name of praying for blessings as an excuse, none of the court officials said anything.
Only two censors said something, but they were immediately scolded.
After all, the title is indeed impeccable.
Su Yao was the last one to find out.
She found it a little unbelievable for a moment.
When her grandmother told her about this matter before, although she was tempted, she was also very rational and felt that this would not be possible.
But unexpectedly, this thing actually succeeded!
She found it unbelievable for a moment.
Empress Dowager Tian laughed and said to her, "This is the emperor's love for you. He really loves you and Ah Heng very much. You can go with peace of mind. With you by his side, I believe Ah Heng will be able to do his job more smoothly."
She held Su Yao's hand and said, "I am old, and there is no hope for my life. Yaoyao, you are a good child. You don't treat me as a fool. You tell me everything clearly. This is very good. Now I don't have anything to ask for. I will be very happy if you and Ah Heng are doing well."
Su Yao felt a lump in her throat when she heard that. She was indeed very grateful to Empress Dowager Tian for her love.
And Emperor Yuanfeng was very tolerant of her, otherwise he would never agree to such a thing.
She pursed her lips and thanked Queen Mother Tian.
Emperor Yuanfeng came to the East Palace for dinner in the evening. In fact, he also specifically told Su Yao that. When he saw Su Yao and Xiao Heng standing together, he was very satisfied with the handsome man and beautiful woman. He said to Su Yao: "You can go without worry. When you come back, it would be better if you can give me good news. That would be even better."
This time, Su Yao kowtowed to Emperor Yuanfeng sincerely.
Su Yao decided to leave at the last minute because he had many things to do.
The first thing was to entrust the affairs of the Eastern Palace to Concubine Pang and ask her to help take care of them.
Then he had to tell both the Su family and the He family.
Su Yao was still very worried about Wang Yuerong, so he specifically asked Su Xingyi to look after her.
Who knew that when Madam He came to the palace again, the first thing she talked about was this matter: "She said she was going to the family temple to practice meditation."
Su Yao was silent for a moment.
Everyone has a different personality. She has already tried to persuade her, and Su Rong has also tried her best. If Wang Yuerong really can't get out of the shadow, there is nothing that can be done, and others cannot force her.
She nodded to show that she understood, and said to Mrs. He, "Grandma, please bring something to her for me. There's no need to say anything else."
Maybe it is really impossible for Wang Yuerong and Su Rong to be together.
Mrs. He was relieved to see that Su Yao did not force it any further. "You may think it's nothing, but for Fenfen, she can't let go, which is torture for her. She feels guilty but also resentful towards Rong Ge'er. If she didn't have resentment, she wouldn't be so difficult to make a decision. Two people who have resentment should not force themselves to be together. If they do, they won't have a good life in the future. Why do this?"
Su Yao also knew this, but he couldn't help but think of the good times between them, and the time when Su Rong risked his life to come back to see Wang Yuerong.
She didn't think about it anymore.
