"A wonderful marriage?" Su Jing asked Concubine Zhu with a smile.
"General Anguo is one of the most prominent families in our Great Zhou. The Emperor loves Jinxiu so much that he promised her to General Anguo's son."
Concubine Zhu smiled and said that she felt in her heart that the emperor's idea should be the same as hers, but she didn't expect that Su Jing had already stood up as soon as she finished speaking.
"Then you should prepare for the marriage. When Jinxiu gets married, you can stay in Shuangcheng Temple outside the city."
Concubine Zhu was filled with joy just now, but now Su Jing's words made her fall into the bottomless abyss.
She didn't seem to have done anything wrong, and there was nothing wrong with what she said just now. It was clearly the emperor who granted the marriage, and she came to thank him and praise the emperor for his unique vision and choosing a perfect match for her daughter. How could it be...
"Your Majesty, what did I do? Why..."
"Why? The Queen wanted to raise Jinxiu herself. What did you say? Jinxiu is your biological daughter. She is your life. You can't hand her over to someone else. You are worried. But what have you raised Jinxiu to be?"
Concubine Zhu looked at the emperor with a confused look on her face. She thought she had raised Jinxiu very well, but the emperor...
"Did Jinxiu make the emperor angry? She is still young, you have to be more tolerant. I will teach her a lesson when I go back and ask her to respect you in the future."
"Get out." Su Jing looked at Concubine Zhu's anxious face and suddenly felt like he was talking to a cow.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say..."
"If you have anything to say, go to the nunnery and talk."
As soon as Su Jing finished speaking, the eunuch who was observant of people's words and expressions stepped forward, taking two steps at a time. Several people dragged Concubine Zhu away. Concubine Zhu struggled and shouted. She wanted to explain to the emperor, but before she could open her mouth, she was dragged out of the imperial study.
As Concubine Zhu's voice drifted further and further away, Su Jing felt more and more tired in his heart. Thinking of his wife who would sit beside him and talk to him tenderly whenever he was tired, tears in his heart flowed silently.
The woman with whom I could talk about anything and who could understand what I was thinking just by looking at my expression is no longer with me.
The longing and sorrow are heart-wrenching, but no one can replace them.
What Su Jing didn't know was that his marriage decree not only brought about earth-shaking changes in the fate of Concubine Zhu and Princess Jinxiu, but also threw General Anguo's Mansion into disarray because of this imperial decree.
The eunuch who announced the decree had already left, but Zhen Yuandao was still sitting on the chair in a daze with an unfathomable look on his face. The whole family was staring at him with anxious looks on their faces.
The person they were proposing to marry was Princess Jiaoyang, not Princess Jinxiu. What did the emperor mean by marrying Princess Jinxiu to Zhen Junran
Is it that Princess Jiaoyang has completely fallen out of favor, and the emperor only has Princess Jinxiu in his heart, so he gave his most beloved daughter to the Zhen family? Or is the emperor warning himself
Unlike Zhen Yuandao, who was full of sorrow, Zhen Junran stood there in despair for a long time before he said to his mother beside him, "Mother, I won't marry Princess Jinxiu. How can she compare to Ah Man? Ah Man is..."
In Zhen Junran's heart, Ah Man is the bright moonlight, the beacon in his heart. When he knew that his father was going to ask for Ah Man in marriage, he was inexplicably excited. He felt that according to the emperor's favor for his father, it was only a matter of time before the marriage was approved. How come it suddenly became like this
That Princess Jinxiu was also a beauty, but there was a petty air in her features.
"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. You are not qualified to say you don't want to marry her." Zhen Yuandao, who had been standing in a daze, suddenly spoke, shattering the hope that was gradually growing in Zhen Junran's heart.
"But, but, father, you know very well that the person I like is Ah Man. I have liked her since I was a child. I have worked hard for so many years just to be qualified to stand by her side. I..."
"Princess Jiaoyang is still in mourning." Zhen Yuandao looked at his son's panic and felt powerless in his heart.
"Then I will wait for him. Not to mention three years, I can wait even for eight or ten years. If I can't wait for her, I will become a monk."
The words "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all Jun's grace" have shattered Zhen Junran's heart. She is now thinking that he cannot marry Ah Man, and he has to marry a woman he doesn't like.
