The Queen Mother looked at him in disbelief, swallowing all the reprimands on her lips.
Song Wenjing always called himself son-in-law in front of the Queen Mother, but now he changed his title, which shows his anger and displeasure at this time.
"So there is no need to persuade the Queen Mother. I have decided on her in this life, and no one can interfere with my decision."
"Besides, didn't my mother say that as long as I like it, no matter who it is, I will agree with it with both hands?"
The Queen Mother came back to her senses: "...!"
The Ai family said they agreed with both hands, but who knew that Jing'er actually liked the minister's wife! !
The Queen Mother never thought that Song Wenjing would do such a ridiculous thing.
The mother and son looked at each other in a stalemate, neither of them willing to bow to the other and compromise.
Song Wenjing could listen to the Queen Mother's opinion on any other matter, but not on this matter. He would not be swayed at all by anyone or anything about his acceptance of A'yu into the palace.
After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed and looked at Song Wenjing with a complicated expression.
"Jing'er, my mother will ask you one last time, is there any room for change in this matter?"
Song Wenjing's deep eyes flashed with determination and seriousness, and he said: "There is absolutely no room for maneuver."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with determination.
She stood up slowly: "In that case, the Queen Mother will declare her decree to the world. It is the Queen Mother who has taken a fancy to General Zhou's new wife, not Jing'erjun who seizes the minister's wife."
"Jing'er is a wise king who is loved by the people. She will be a celebrity for thousands of years. This incident must not leave an indelible stain in the history books."
Song Wenjing was startled and raised her hand to hold the Queen Mother's arm: "Mother, this matter is the decision made by the son. All the consequences will be borne by the son and has nothing to do with the mother!"
The Queen Mother patted the back of Song Wenjing's hand and looked at him kindly.
"Jing'er, my mother has made up her mind. If she tells the world about this matter, the people will only say that the mother is old and confused. But if Jing'er tells the world, they will curse Jing'er as a fool and an unruly person." His wife’s foolish king.”
"Jing'er is the best child in the mother's heart, and she is also a qualified king. How can the queen watch Jing'er being reviled by the world because of this incident?"
Although being in a high position has supreme rights, it also comes with various involuntary consequences.
The entire people of Nanxuan Kingdom were staring at Song Wenjing and could not tolerate any mistakes from him.
As long as he makes the slightest mistake, his diligent and honest image over the years will be overturned and replaced by endless abuse and blame.
The queen mother was very aware of these consequences, so she wanted to protect her children from the wind and rain one last time before dying.
"Queen mother..."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and stroked the top of Song Wenjing's hair, just like she did when he was young.
"Since Jing'er likes it, then go ahead and do it. No matter what time, the queen mother will be behind you to support you. The queen mother is tired today and wants to take a rest. Jing'er, please go prepare the arrangements for accepting the queen in three days."
The Queen Mother issued an eviction order and dragged her heavy body to the inner hall.
Song Wenjing pursed her thin lips tightly and looked at the figure of the Queen Mother walking into the inner hall before she averted her eyes.
He originally wanted someone to stop the Queen Mother's decree, but who knew that the Queen Mother had already drafted the decree before he came back, and now the content of the decree has been made known to the world.
In one day, two decrees reached the ears of the people, one from His Majesty and the other from the Queen Mother.
The contents of the two decrees were quite different. Your Majesty wanted to dismiss the harem and make the Jiang family's legitimate daughter the queen, while the Queen Mother wanted to forcibly break up a marriage and make General Zhou's bride the queen.
Although it is the same person who is to be established as a new queen, the meaning is quite different.
This incident soon set off a wave of frenzy in the imperial city. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, who had just returned from doing business in other places, also learned about this incident. They were confused.
Father Jiang: "When did our daughter get married?"
Mother Jiang: "I, how do I know! What's going on with this, this, this imperial edict??"
That's right, Jiang's father and mother Jiang had been discussing business in Suzhou during this time, and Jiang Jingyu secretly married Zhou Huaiqian behind their backs.
As for the reason, naturally Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were furious after learning that Zhou Huaiqian had betrayed his trust. They bluntly said that they would cancel the engagement when Zhou Huaiqian came back. From then on, the marriage between man and woman had nothing to do with each other.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother hurried to the house, just in time to bump into Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu.
"Master and Madam? You are back!"
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu ran towards the two of them in surprise, their eyebrows curved, not to mention how happy they were.
But Father Jiang and Mother Jiang could not laugh. Father Jiang frowned and asked, "Where is Jing Yu? Where is Jing Yu now?"
"Miss is resting in the room, slave..."
Before Qiu Shuang finished speaking, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother rushed to Jiang Jingyu's room.
"Jing Yu, Jing Yu?"
When Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came to Jiang Jingyu's room, they did not push the door directly in. Jiang's mother was responsible for knocking on the door, while Jiang's father stood at the front steps with his hands behind his back, waiting for Jiang Jingyu's answer.
The door was quickly opened from the inside, and then Jiang Jingyu's body crashed into Mother Jiang's arms.
"Mom and Dad, you are finally back!"
With the beauty in her palm right in front of her eyes, Jiang's mother had already put her accusations behind her and hugged Jiang Jingyu tightly.
"Jingyu, my precious daughter, you don't know how much my mother missed you during these days in Suzhou!"
"I miss my mother too!"
Mother and daughter hugged each other and expressed their longing for each other. Father Jiang on the side took two steps forward to look for a sense of presence.
"Humph, do you just want your mother and not your father?"
Jiang Jingyu smiled flatteringly: "I want it, I want it all!"
She said and withdrew from Mother Jiang's arms, smiling and hugging their arms.
"Mom and dad, why are you back today? Doesn't it take a month?"
Jiang's father turned his face away from her and snorted coldly: "We have only left for half a month and you married yourself off. If we had come a few months later, wouldn't our grandson be born?!"
Jiang Jingyu's mouth twitched: "That won't happen."
Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Jingyu with a worried look: "Jingyu, what are the rumors outside? Should you give us an explanation?"
Jiang Jingyu helped the two of them go to the room. The family of three sat at the table. Jiang Jingyu explained what happened in a short story.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's eyelids twitched when they heard it. When they heard the last word, their eyes were already widened.
Jiang's father had been doing business abroad for many years and had never seen any big storms, so he quickly calmed down.
"So the current situation is that His Majesty has issued an order for my daughter to reconcile with that bastard Zhou Huaiqian, and in three days, my daughter will enter the palace and be granted a title?"
Jiang Jingyu nodded.
He immediately silenced Father Jiang and Mother Jiang.
After a long time, Father Jiang raised his head and made a decision in his heart.
"Since it is a foregone conclusion that Jing Yu will enter the palace and be sealed, the most urgent thing to do right now is to silence everyone in Youyou. The comments made outside are extremely detrimental to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and even the entire royal family!"
Jiang's mother looked worried: "Having said that, you have seen the current situation. Even His Majesty can't stop everyone from talking, so what can we do to reverse the situation?"
Father Jiang's sharp eyes narrowed slightly: "Who said there is nothing we can do?"
