"Why? The emperor clearly promised me." Imperial Noble Consort Jin looked puzzled, with even more resentment in her eyes.
He had clearly promised me, but now, was he going to go back on his word
"Do you think that girl from your Xie family is worthy of being the Third Prince's consort?"
Murong Zheng spoke slowly, but with an invisible pressure that made Imperial Noble Consort Jin feel a little breathless.
The concubine of a prince should be sensible and righteous, able to walk among the powerful and wealthy, and be able to benefit the royal family. However, Xie Rushuang's careful and calculating look is really not worthy of being in a noble house. If Murong Kai really married a wife like that, I'm afraid it won't take long for her to become a laughing stock of the royal family.
Murong Zheng was aware of this, and so was Imperial Noble Consort Jin, but she was unwilling to face it.
That's why she asked with confidence, but the answer given by Murong Zheng made her inexplicably discouraged.
"If there is a suitable person, I would naturally be willing to fulfill your wish for your son, but for a person like this, I still..."
"Your Majesty, do you look down on the Xie family? I am also a member of the Xie family." Hearing Murong Zheng's contempt for Xie Rushuang, Imperial Noble Consort Jin felt a sense of agreement, but more of dissatisfaction.
After all, Xie Rushuang was not only the wife he found for Akai, but also a girl from their Xie family.
She arranged the marriage between the two with the intention of helping the Xie family. Because of her seclusion in the palace over the years, the Xie family has become less powerful than before.
It is precisely because of this that the girls raised here are so stingy and unpresentable.
"You have married into the royal family and are no longer a member of the Xie family." Murong Zheng looked at Imperial Noble Consort Jin and spoke affectionately.
"It's not impossible for you to support the Xie family, but your eldest brother's family is not capable of doing so. When there is a chance, I will promote your second brother." Murong Zheng said as if to assure.
Listening to the person in front of her solemnly telling him that she was a member of the royal family and listening to his future plans, Imperial Noble Consort Jin was inexplicably moved.
She used to think that this man was too heartless, but now, she had the illusion that he was deeply affectionate.
"Akai has even risked his own life for the sake of Princess Bei'an. Will the Imperial Concubine still insist on granting him a marriage?"
"Your Majesty, I will choose another suitable woman for Akai. I don't want Akai to marry Princess Bei'an."
Because Murong Zheng was not on guard towards her, Imperial Noble Consort Jin finally opened her heart to Murong Zheng.
"You decide. If there's someone suitable, I'll take a look with you." Murong Zheng had anticipated Imperial Concubine Jin's insistence. He said this softly and continued to follow Imperial Concubine Jin, following her closely.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, please go back. I need to rest." Imperial Concubine Jin knew that Murong Zheng wanted to stay in her bedroom, but after more than ten years of loneliness in the cold palace, she really couldn't get used to someone's sudden intrusion. She was not ready to accept it, so she could only refuse.
She was certain that Murong Zheng would let her do what she wanted.
"Then you should rest early. I'm leaving first." Murong Zheng's eyes were full of loneliness, but he still said okay with a smile on his face, then watched Imperial Noble Consort Jin walk towards her own palace.
Turning around, the emperor with gentle features suddenly turned cold and ordered the eunuch behind him, "Bring those ignorant people from the Ministry of Punishment to me."
It was true that he wanted to teach his son a lesson, but they were so bold as to destroy Murong Kai's legs.
He wanted to see who was so ignorant of the limits and who was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty, after the Third Prince took out the Queen Mother's jade pendant, he had one of the guards in charge of the execution arrested."
"Then bring him here first." Murong Kai was able to capture the guard on the spot because something must have happened.
Murong Zheng was extremely looking forward to the guard. He wanted to know who wanted to kill his son.
He hasn't had such an enemy for many years.
