Many officials showed their anger. They did not hold grievances for King Yue, but felt that the people of Northern Xinjiang were playing tricks on them and insulting the dignity of the royal family of the Dali Dynasty.
"It's all nonsense, His Royal Highness King Yue is the prince of our Dali Dynasty, and Ning Junjin is just a commoner. Let the dignified prince replace a commoner to get married, thanks to your open mouth in Northern Xinjiang!"
"It's really shameless. Before you suddenly proposed to continue the marriage contract, you thought it was to keep your promise, but now it seems that you just want to find an excuse to humiliate our Dali Dynasty. Such thoughts are really shameless!"
"Your Majesty, this request is extremely rude, please see it clearly." Faced with the accusations of the crowd, Tu Mastiff was not in a hurry: "Reporting to the Emperor, we have no intention of humiliating the Dali Dynasty by making this opinion. If the emperor and the lords do not believe it, they can go to the people to investigate. Although the identities of His Royal Highness King Yue and Ning Junjin are very different, there is no doubt that they are related by blood. Besides, His Royal Highness King Yue replaces Ning Junjin to worship and marry. It's not for this common man, but for the purpose of dispelling the evil spirits and making Dali's dynasty prosperous and healthy. Could it be that the identity of His Royal Highness King Yue is so honorable that even the Dali dynasty doesn't care about it
"
The emperor on the throne didn't change his face when he heard these words, but his eyes sank: "Fourth brother, what do you think?"
King Yue's voice was cold and his expression respectful: "I obey the emperor's orders."
The emperor pondered for a moment, and said, "Although this is a bit ridiculous, but for the sake of the Dali Dynasty, if you can't say it, you will be wronged the fourth brother."
King Yue raised his head, as if in disbelief, and then bowed his head in a salute: "...Yes, my brother obeys the order."
"King Yue is for the sake of the royal family. Last time, there was a hundred taels of gold and ten dandelions of pearls..." The emperor's expression softened slightly. The ministers in the court looked at each other in dismay, and many people firmed up their thoughts. It seemed that the emperor had really started to suppress King Yue. Before they realized that something was wrong, they just thought it was an illusion. After all, the emperor's temperament was somewhat similar to that of the previous emperor. In addition, King Yue was loyal, and he controlled Jingwei in his hands.
Army, loyal to the emperor. They all thought that this pair of brothers would become a good story and legend like the first emperor and the long princess Yide. Unexpectedly, the emperor was busy suppressing the Yue king not long after he ascended the throne.
At the end of the meeting, many officials walked out in groups, still talking in a low voice.
"The emperor's move is really unpredictable, and I don't know how King Yue can bear it." As a dignified prince, but he had to replace a dead person to get married, even if it was a brother, it was completely disgusting.
"Who can tell the emperor's thoughts, but Princess Yue is the granddaughter of Princess Yide, and now the prince is forced to go to the chapel in place of Ning Junjin, who is still making trouble?"
"The emperor is not the first emperor. Although he respects the eldest princess, he will not follow his words. Besides, this time the northern border is involved. In order to prevent foreigners from laughing, the eldest princess who has always had a good face will not. It's hard to get along with the emperor, after all, the emperor has already opened his mouth to answer."
"... Logically speaking, even if you want a brother to replace Ning Junjin to marry, shouldn't the most suitable candidate be Ning Junling? Anyway, that person has also been demoted to a commoner, just to use it at the end, it can also be humiliated. Northern Xinjiang, why did the emperor choose King Yue..."
"Don't say it, be careful that the partition wall has ears."
When Jin Qiao heard the news, she was shocked and stunned on the spot.
Jin Lan was carefully helping Mu Yunyao to smear Dan Kou, when she saw Jin Qiao hurried in, she quickly reminded: "Princess is here, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"
Jin Qiao panicked. Seeing Mu Yunyao, she felt that speaking like this would definitely make her unhappy, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.
Mu Yunyao motioned Jin Lan to stop, and raised her eyes to look over: "Jin Qiao, although you have a lively temperament, you won't be so unruly, but what happened?"
"Princess... slaves... slaves heard..." Jin Qiao panicked, saw Mu Yunyao frown slightly, knelt down with a plop, and tried her best to keep her voice steady, "I heard that Beijiang asked Wangye to follow Dali's instructions. It is a folk custom of the dynasty to replace Ning Junjin to marry the princess of Northern Xinjiang."
Mu Yunyao's fingers trembled, and she involuntarily closed her fists, and the Dan Kou that had just been smeared instantly fainted: "Marry the princess of Beijiang?"
Jin Lan hurriedly interjected: "Princess, according to folk customs, if you become a yin relative, you need someone close to the deceased's blood to worship on his behalf, and that's what it means to come to Beijiang, just to let the prince do the pilgrimage instead, not really let the prince marry Beijiang. Princess Jiang."
Jin Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she said was too easy for people to misunderstand, and nodded quickly: "Miss, what this servant said was what Sister Jin Lan meant, to complete the wedding in place of Ning Junjin."
Mu Yunyao's brows were relaxed, but her expression was still uneasy: "You guys step back first, I'll be alone for a while."
As soon as the words fell, a maid entered the door again and said: "Princess, the empress has sent a decree, saying that you are invited to enter the palace immediately."
Mu Yunyao stood up, walked to the water basin on the side, and washed the Dan Kou from her nails little by little, and replied in a slightly cold voice: "I see." "Princess, the Queen is now announcing you into the palace. "..." Jin Lan didn't finish her sentence, she always felt that the purpose of entering the palace this time was not simple. The emperor had just slapped the prince in the face and asked him to replace Ning Jun and a commoner. In the past, I can't tell if I want to put pressure on it
, or want to appease, in short, it feels very bad.
"Prepare the carriage. I'll go to the palace. If the lord comes back, just tell the truth."
"Yes."
When Mu Yunyao entered the palace, many people who were paying attention to the Yue Palace knew it immediately, and could not help but speculate about the purpose of the emperor and the queen.
At this time, in Zhaoyang Palace, Mu Yunyao was brought in front of the Empress, and she bowed and saluted: "I have seen the Empress."
"Fourth younger brother and sister are here, get up." The queen looked gentle, but her tone seemed polite and distant, "I came to you today because I wanted to talk to you about the fourth brother, and the emperor asked him to replace Ning Junjin and Beijiang. The princess Helian Liluo is going to the chapel, you should know that, right?"
"Yes, I have heard of it."
"This matter is related to Beijiang and our Dali Dynasty. You have always known the general situation, so you shouldn't have any other opinions, right?"
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes: "Empress Empress, I have also heard of folk customs, but Ning Junjin's brother is not only His Royal Highness King Yue, isn't there also Ning Junlu? He is the eldest brother, and he is the best choice. Appropriate." The queen's brows wrinkled, and the surrounding ladies lowered their heads and held their breaths. The queen paused for a moment, then waved for the maid to go down.
