Although he was angry, in the end, the emperor went to see the prince.
Waiting until they were far away, the queen smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, in his heart, he can never let go of his first wife who accompanied him when he was young!"
The maid on the side was silent, not daring to speak!
After a long time, the queen regained her composure, looked at the lotus in front of her, and said with a smile: "This flower is well grown, and you will be rewarded!"
Not long after, the Queen left this place, and the Bingti Lotus was also sent to Fengqi Palace.
In the afternoon of that day, the emperor issued two imperial edicts in succession, one to the Lin family and the other to the Xu family!
The imperial edict from the Lin family was nothing more than the reinstatement of Secretary Lin to his post, but the imperial edict sent to the Xu family praised Xu Yanquan from head to toe, and also mentioned marriage, which is quite intriguing!
When the imperial edict came to her door, Xu Qingmo had just returned from the theater. She knelt down to receive it, and then she knew that the Lin family should be reinstated!
This incident was not surprising to the Xu family, and they did not want to bring this matter to the court, but they were still a little unhappy, especially the second uncle.
After seeing off the internal officials, the Xu family sat in the front hall. Marquis Ningyuan looked at the imperial edict in his hand for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty, this is to appease us. Our Xu family has lost a girl. , Your Majesty decides to give us a girl back!"
In fact, the meaning of the imperial edict is very clear, that is, Xu Yanquan will be granted a marriage and this way will appease the Xu family.
Xu Yanquan was in trouble. He had no plans to get married now, so after learning the news, his face had been ugly.
Since it was a gifted marriage, it would probably not be the daughter of an ordinary family, but maybe one of the emperor's princesses. The princess was noble, but also delicate.
Xu Yanquan has a manly heart and is the worst at coaxing others. If it were really Princess Shang, it would probably drive him crazy!
So the first thing after receiving the imperial edict, Xu Yanquan asked Marquis Ningyuan for orders to go to the border to defend the country, and then he was kicked by Marquis Ningyuan.
The family just sat there, each one feeling more uncomfortable than the other, but Xu Qingmo didn't care.
After all, she didn't even have a sister-in-law in her previous life. Should Xu Yanquan be able to get a wife in this life, so she should be secretly laughing?
Even if the Xu family looked sad, the palace was also in a commotion.
Several of the princess's concubines went to the queen's palace overnight for the purpose of getting married to the emperor.
Xu Yanquan is indeed young and promising, but he is a military commander after all, and he lives with his head hanging around his neck. It is their own daughter. Although she is rich, she is uneasy, and they are still reluctant to let their girl suffer this!
The queen looked at the concubines sitting in a room with a headache: "It's useless for you to come to me about this matter. This is a matter decided by His Majesty. I have a daughter myself, maybe it's my daughter!"
"Empress, the son of the Xu family is indeed young and promising, but he is a military general after all. Life and death are never in his own hands, and he is not stable..."
The queen raised her eyes and looked at the concubine who was speaking. After a long time, she said coldly: "Your daughter is not just your daughter, but also the daughter of the world. We are supported by all people, so we always have to sacrifice something!"
Naturally, they all understood this truth, but they were unhappy in their hearts. One of them couldn't hold back his anger: "It was obviously the prince's maternal family that caused the trouble. How come the ones who came to clean up the mess in the end turned into princesses?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room suddenly became noisy.
If it were just an ordinary marriage gift, even if everyone was dissatisfied, they wouldn't say anything more. But now, this time, the concubines all knew that their daughter was going to give a favor to the prince!
Reluctance, resentment, mixed feelings!
When the emperor came, the concubines had not dispersed. The emperor hid in a corner and listened quietly for a long time. Although he was not happy, he had to admit that what they said was the truth.
The emperor waited outside for an hour, and waited until all the concubines had left before entering the queen's palace.
The queen had just finished dealing with the concubines, so when she heard the footsteps behind her, she immediately became a little annoyed: "No matter who is coming, just say I have a rest and don't let him in!"
"It's me!" The emperor walked up to the queen and gently put his hand on her shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, queen!"
The queen was startled, and did not stand up to salute. Just like ordinary couples, she directly put her hand on his hand: "I should do it!"
"Xu Yanquan is a good son. He has a good appearance and a good family background. He also works hard to make progress. The only shortcoming is that he is a military commander!" the emperor said softly.
"It's not uncommon for princesses to marry military generals. Everyone is dissatisfied because it's to do favors for the prince!" The queen sighed deeply, "Prince, it's more or less... that's all... I can't say much as a concubine!"
The emperor looked at the queen for a long time and finally said: "Do you also think that I am partial?"
The queen hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The prince lost his mother when he was young. It is human nature for your majesty to be a little biased. It is just a matter of national importance, so it should be taken seriously!"
The queen spoke sincerely, and the emperor understood it clearly.
Ever since the old man of the Lin family retired, one generation after another has become worse than the next. The position of Minister of Household Affairs was originally given to him because of the friendship he had accumulated over so many years!
But who would have thought that his son could have such vicious thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you a question!" The queen turned around, looked up into the emperor's eyes, and said softly.
The emperor paused, and then responded: "You ask!"
"What would your Majesty do if the victim was just a commoner?" the queen said word by word.
The emperor's heart thumped, and his face became a little ugly.
The queen muttered: "Lin Shaoyang dared to do such vicious things to the eldest son and the girl of Ningyuan Houfu. What if they were just children from an ordinary family? I'm afraid that the whole family would be forced to hang themselves from the beam!"
The emperor was silent. After a long time, he nodded and responded softly: "I understand!"
In fact, the queen didn't think the emperor would listen. He had been partial to the prince since he was a child. He was the eldest son, so it should be like this. However, she felt really unhappy, so she couldn't help but say a few words.
The emperor fell asleep in the queen's palace, and the couple had a rare moment of understanding. The queen only had one girl, and she was also a treasure, so she said: "...Your Majesty, I only hope that my princess can marry an ordinary person, even if It doesn’t matter if he is a white woman, the husband and wife are harmonious, and they can grow old together!”
