Yuan Qing Ling thought, the matter of marrying the side concubine had been fermented for several days, and the rumors outside also said that she was barren, so calling her into the palace this time should be a matter of abandonment.
She asked her mother if anyone in the palace had been here today or last night.
His mother said: "Mu Ru father-in-law came here in person."
That's right, it should be the emperor who asked King Chu's meaning again. Marrying the Chu family's daughter was what he wanted. How could he be unhappy
Yuan Qingling was calm in her heart that since the royal family wanted to abandon her, she would definitely give her enough compensation so that she would not worry about her livelihood in the future. No matter what, she would have an IOU. I believed that this IOU could change a small house for herself.
With a feeling of finally being relieved, she stepped onto the carriage.
At the gate of the palace, she opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the endless golden glazed horns and cornices, thinking in her heart that this might be the last time she entered the palace.
In her heart, there was unspeakable joy and ease.
With this mood, when she got out of the carriage and walked to the imperial study room, she also looked at the scenery in the palace with a good mood.
The Imperial Palace of the Northern Tang Dynasty is indeed beautiful, not the elegance of the Jiangnan pavilions. The Imperial Palace of the Northern Tang Dynasty is magnificent and magnificent. The towers stand, the halls are magnificent, the columns are painted with gold paint, and the power of imperial power is everywhere.
When I came to the entrance of the Yushufang, I saw someone walking out of it.
This man was wearing a blue Confucian costume with rubies inlaid on his official hat. He was about 60 or 70 years old. His beard was gray and his cheeks had no meat. His face was shriveled and thin, but his eyes were very sharp. , Falling on Yuan Qingling's face, it was as if two electric beams were fired, Yuan Qingling couldn't help feeling shocked.
She recognizes this person as Chu Shoufu of the dynasty, holding half of the Northern Tang Dynasty in his hand, and one person with more than 10,000 people.
Chu Shoufu's eyes condensed on Yuan Qingling's face for about a second, and then turned away. Instead of stepping forward to say hello, he walked away from the corridor on the left.
It was just the second fixed on Yuan Qingling's face, like snow flowing down from a mountain, and it was filled with cold blood.
Yuan Qingling had never seen a person's eyes so scary, so he just glanced over, but it seemed like a mighty army.
It's no wonder that Jinghou would rather sacrifice his daughter to fawn on Chu Shoufu, but who gave him the courage to make Yuan Qingling, the original lord, snatch the prince whom others fancy
Jinghou also has the heart of a hero, but unfortunately, he does not have this strength.
After the defeat, Xiao Xiong turned into a bereaved dog with his tail clamped.
Just thinking about it, father-in-law Mu Ru came out, his face was a little pale, as you can imagine, he was probably not very happy just now.
"The princess is here? Go in, the emperor is waiting for you." Mu Ru justified.
Yuan Qing Ling Fu went in.
Emperor Ming Yuan was sitting on the dragon chair, holding two jade round beads in his hands. Seeing Yuan Qingling coming in, he slowly put down, his body was obviously a little slack, Yuan Qingling saw this movement and guessed that he was in high tension just now. middle.
"Daughter-in-law, see the emperor!" Yuan Qingling stepped forward and knelt to see the salute.
"Get up!" Ming Yuan Emperor's voice was a bit weak.
"Thank you, Father!" Yuan Qingling stood up, standing aside with her hand hanging down.
Emperor Ming Yuan stared at her, "I remember asking you that day, you have no objection to the old fifth marrying a side concubine, do you?"
Yuan Qingling said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law is happy to see it happen."
"Happy to see its success?" The Ming Yuan Emperor's voice became more severe, "I ordered Mu Ru to go out of the palace to ask the fifth, but the fifth said that you firmly disagree. He cares about your feelings so as not to cause the husband and wife to disagree and make people laugh."
Yuan Qing Ling is stupid, Yu Wenhao what the hell are you doing
"Daughter-in-law has no objection." Yuan Qingling hurriedly defended, "The prince never asked me what I meant."
"Are you alluding to the fifth disrespect for you?" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice became more gloomy.
"No, that's not what it meant..."
This is too far from what she thinks along the way. She originally thought that she only needed to say that her daughter-in-law had no opinion, and then waited for a break, she packed up her baggage and left. After all, the rumors outside were all for her. Don't be the first step.
"The answer that father-in-law Mu Ru got is that you should not accept your concubine so quickly because you have just started for a year. I remember that you promised that you will give birth to the royal heir soon. Your words are inconsistent. What is it? What do you mean?"
Yuan Qing Ling Baikou could not argue.
At that time, she said that she would give birth to a child soon, but because of the atmosphere at the time, she said what she should say. Where did she think about the follow-up
"Do you agree or disagree?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked sharply.
Yuan Qing Ling opened her mouth, and the word of agreement was in her throat, but Mu Rugong said: "The princess said carefully, I don't know if I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Yuan Qingling can't laugh or cry, the crime of deceiving the king
But how did she answer that it was not the crime of deceiving the emperor? Agree or disagree, both have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Mu Rugong reminded: "The princess said that he agreed at the time because it was for the prince to extend his heirs, right? But if the princess gave birth to a prince within a year, then he wouldn't worry about this, did he?"
"This..." Yuan Qing Ling Chou whited the back of his head.
Saying no, wouldn't it be an empty word to say to the royal descendants at the beginning, it is a matter of heirs, and it can indeed be condemned to deceive the emperor, after all, people are the emperor.
But if you said yes, wouldn't it be equivalent to acquiescing that she didn't agree with King Chu to marry the second lady of the Chu family? Then can't the Chu family swallow her alive? And I must have already told Chu Shoufu that I was willing to go to court. In this way, Jing Waiting is self-sufficient, and she probably won't be able to return to this family in the future.
An anger suddenly rose from the bottom of Yuan Qingling's heart. Yu Wenhao, your mother doesn't want to marry, why do you use me as a shield? You hide behind a woman, are you reasonable
"Is it dumb?" Ming Yuan Emperor's voice hit his head.
Yuan Qingling could only say slowly: "Father, forgive me, daughter-in-law... Actually, I don't want the prince to marry the concubine so soon."
Emperor Ming Yuan snorted, "Then you are so generous, saying you agree with this matter?"
"Daughter-in-law is afraid of committing the crime of jealousy." Yuan Qing Ling said ashamed and scolded Yu Wenhao a hundred times in her heart.
"Women's mind, how can I not understand? If I don't agree, just say that, will I still force the old five to have a side concubine?" Ming Yuan Emperor's expression has also eased a lot, and his tone is not compounded.
Yuan Qingling glanced at Emperor Ming Yuan, and suddenly a thought came to his mind. Perhaps, the emperor was unwilling to let the fifth wife marry the second young lady of the Chu family, but was forced to mention it.
No wonder the emperor wasn't really happy when she said yes that day.
But Yu Wenhao used her as an excuse and rejected the marriage, but the emperor was relieved.
Yu Wenhao lost his reputation as a virtuous king, and what about her? Jealous, stingy, narrow-minded, unable to tolerate a husband and son-in-law marrying a concubine, offended both the natal family and the Chu family.
No wonder that Chu Shoufu's eyes were so cold when he looked at her just now.
The anger in Yuan Qingling's heart touched her forehead, bursts of explosions blooming.
