After entering the Wende Palace, Huang Qiong took the two girls and bowed politely. It's okay for He Yao who just didn't say anything and just followed the instructions. But Duan Jin's self-identification during the salute and the Dali etiquette he performed shocked the emperor. Duan Jin, the eldest princess of Dali, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi. What the hell is this?
The emperor knew that even if his son was daring, he would never deceive him in this matter. In other words, the other woman next to this evildoer is really the eldest princess of Dali Kingdom. The somewhat frightened emperor stared at Huang Qiong, almost unable to believe his ears.
Princess Dali? When did you come to Daqi? Why didn't the Ministry of Rites submit any information? I didn't even receive any news from Qianzhong Road, West Sichuan Road, or any envoys from Dali State to Daqi? Looking at the current appearance of the three of them, the eldest princess was actually involved with this evil obstacle.
Could it be that this eldest princess also became one of the concubines that this evil obstacle took in Zhengzhou? At this time, in the emperor's heart, when facing Huang Qiong, he was no longer just angry. The prince had no purpose and got mixed up with a foreign princess. Even in the eyes of the Great Qi Dynasty, it was a serious crime for a small country.
He was preparing to marry him to the princess of Guilin, but he got himself a Dali princess. Although in the Da Qi Dynasty, the status of the eldest princess of Dali Kingdom may not necessarily mean that she is the princess of the Guilin County Prince's Palace. But no matter what she says, she is the eldest princess of a country. Although he is a little older, his identity and status are still there.
This evil obstacle has played such a trick on me, is he still planning on getting married? Point it out, rumors spread that Daqi asked a dignified princess to be the prince's concubine. This is simply an open insult to a country. Not only would Da Qi be accused of being too arrogant, it might even trigger a war. Even in the eyes of the emperor, the Dali Kingdom did not pose a threat to the Qi Dynasty at all.
But at this time, the emperor did not want to cause more trouble. At least I don't want anything to happen to the southwest. Especially when Dali State and Guangnan West Road are connected by mountains and rivers. It is impossible that there is no connection between Dali Kingdom and Guilin County Prince's Palace. If Dali Kingdom and Guilin County Prince's Palace join forces, it will definitely not be a good thing for the current court.
Even though Dali is a small country, it can still create a lot of trouble for the court by joining forces with the wealthy Guilin County Prince's Palace, at least for now. But if this finger-marriage ends here, it will be an insult to the Guilin County Prince's Palace, and it will also be difficult to end well. If you really piss off the Guilin County Prince's Mansion, it will directly ruin the court's next big plan.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but grind his teeth secretly. It seems that he really gave birth to a good son, and he even underestimated this son. Even the eldest princess of a country can be by his side, and can even be willing to come forward to fight for him in the ring.
This son was really well-intentioned. In order to avoid being married to the Prince of Guilin County by his own advice, he even thought of marrying a foreign princess. Doesn’t he know what is the most important thing about the country? Doesn't he know that marriage with foreigners without authorization is also a taboo of the imperial court?
But facing the anger in the emperor's eyes, Huang Qiongquan pretended not to see it. Although he didn't get up on his own, he still wanted to help He Yao next to him. After He Yao shook her head and refused, Huang Qiong simply said to the emperor: "Father, my son is your son. If you are unhappy, you will punish your son no matter what. But your wife here is pregnant with your child. Where is the grandson?"
"I couldn't save Erchen's first child. My father shouldn't have thought about letting something happen to Erchen's second child. My father didn't treat Erchen like this before he went to Zhengzhou. Erchen said it. Could it be that the second brother’s child is the grandson of the father, and Erchen’s child is not the grandson of the father?”
After hearing Huang Qiong's words, the emperor felt angry. I originally recruited him today to discuss the engagement between him and the Princess of Guilin. Unexpectedly, this evil obstacle actually guessed what he was thinking and took the person directly into the palace without telling him. He even told himself that his woman was pregnant. This and that Mianjun came, and he was simply demonstrating against himself as a father.
At this time, the emperor was really angry with Huang Qiong. Seeing the posture, if Duan Jin, a foreign princess, was not present, he would have thought of chopping Huang Qiong alive with a knife. He was just angry, but he remembered the reason why Huang Qiong's first child was not saved. He was worried that if something unexpected happened to this child because of him, the emperor could only give up his original idea.
Originally, he had intended to let the woman kneel like that, so that she could at least calm down. But when he thought of Huang Qiong's mother in Xuexuan, the emperor immediately gave up the idea. He wanted to get angry, but that princess of Dali was also present. The emperor didn't want a foreign woman to see his family troubled.
He could only suppress his anger, raised his hand and said: "Now that you have a body, stop kneeling. And the eldest princess, please get up." Then he said to Gao Wuyong: " Didn't you hear the King of England say that the concubine next to him is pregnant? Why don't you go bring some chairs over?"
Although he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, the emperor was still a little unwilling to be forced into a position by his son. In the title of He Yao, he is directly positioned as concubine. In this era, the status of a concubine was completely different from that of a real concubine, not to mention compared to a real wife.
Even to a certain extent, the connecting room maid can't compare. Ji concubine, Ji concubine, is actually more of a concubine than a concubine. Not only can it be resold at any time, but it can even be given as a gift. Even if you are in the master's house, you may not only serve the master. If the host is happy, he can take it out to entertain guests at any time.
Although the title "Emperor" was just a momentary remark, it lowered He Yao's status. The emperor deliberately wanted to suppress Huang Qiong, but Huang Qiong, who did not want He Yao to be wronged in this matter, said without any hesitation: "Back to my father, there is only the woman I love in the son's palace, and there is no one I love." There are no concubines. They are now the wives of my sons and ministers, and even more so the daughters-in-law of my father."
"You?" The emperor originally just wanted to take advantage of his words and try to overpower his son in this matter. I didn't expect that this son would be so disrespectful to me. In front of everyone in the Wende Hall, he was humiliated like this, which was quite embarrassing. Didn't he see that he was very angry now, and not just angry in general?
Looking at the emperor whose expression turned livid, Huang Qiong ignored the worried He Yao beside him, secretly tugging at his sleeves, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Father, your daughter-in-law is currently pregnant with Yes, but my son’s child is your direct grandson. My son also believes that you will definitely not do what Emperor Shizong did back then.”
The emperor was very angry, and not just angry. It's not that Huang Qiong didn't notice that Duan Jin, the eldest princess of Dali, was present, so she kept suppressing it and didn't explode. But for Huang Qiong, if he didn't say some things now while the emperor was in a hurry, or if he didn't say something when he was so angry, he might not have the chance to say it again in the future.
In fact, Huang Qiong Jin'er brought He Yao into the palace, which was actually a conscious move to disrupt Emperor Jin'er's showdown. To put it bluntly, it was deliberately creating a fait accompli for the emperor. The emperor has already met He Yao, which means that even if He Yao's identity is not publicly recognized, He Yao's identity is certain. After all, she was just a concubine, and it was impossible for the emperor to see her.
Even if he can't get the jade plate for the time being, he may not have no room for bargaining. He brought He Yao and Duan Jin into the palace in such an open and honest manner, and at this moment, it would be strange if the emperor was not angry. Huang Qiong didn't want the old man to wake up. What she wanted now was for the old man to be angry. And the angrier the old man gets, the easier it is for him to bargain.
Anyway, with Duan Jin's status, the emperor couldn't do anything to He Yao. It depends on how you use it, even if it is trivial in the eyes of the emperor, it can have unexpected effects. Otherwise, the emperor himself is too shrewd. Once he wakes up from his anger, it will not be so easy to bargain.
In order to enhance the effect, Huang Qiong even revealed the scars that the emperor least wanted to be uncovered. Huang Qiong's meaning is very clear. You are also the most miserable and sad person you have ever experienced. How Emperor Sejong treated you back then, you cannot treat your grandson like this. Back then, if the imperial grandfather had even been a concubine, you wouldn't have suffered so much.
There was nothing you could do at the time. Emperor Sejong was a cold-blooded person by nature. But now that you are the king of a country, do you really have the heart to replicate your past events on your grandson? But don’t you really feel sorry for your biological grandson? In particular, it is still unclear whether the Princess of Guilin County is an arrogant and domineering person.
Sure enough, Huang Qiong's last words hit the emperor's heart. The emperor's face changed from green to purple, then from purple to white, and then from white to normal color. Huang Qiong was right. If Emperor Sejong had shown some compassion to his mother and son, their life would not have been so miserable.
He was fighting for the throne, knowing that his mother entered the palace for her own sake. But as soon as he gained power, Huang Qiong's mother's post was still abolished. Even though he knew that his mother had a deep affection for him, he still left his mother and son in the cold palace for eighteen years. Even if there are other reasons for it, it is still unforgivable.
Even in order to show to the court and the clan that he was completely separated from his mother, he did not even visit his mother when she gave birth. Although in these years of life, they have never treated their mother and son badly. But I live in a closed environment all year round, where I can’t see anyone. But that kind of lonely life is unbearable for ordinary people.
What is the difference between what he did back then and what Emperor Sejong did back then? They are all the same thinness. The only good thing is that I still have a chance to make amends to their mother and son. But his mother never had the chance to be compensated. Even if she is posthumously named a queen mother and buried in Emperor Sejong's mausoleum, what kind of compensation is that?
Besides, his miserable mother may not really want to be with Emperor Sejong underground. Thinking about it now, my mother might have preferred to have been working in the Huanyi Bureau, doing the heavy work that might have led to her death from exhaustion, rather than have such an experience with Emperor Sejong.
Seeing Huang Qiong holding the two girls' hands tightly, the emperor sighed in his heart. He and his mother had experienced so much pain back then. Now he has to force his son to follow his own path. Even if he worked so hard, it was for the sake of the Qi Dynasty and for this evil obstacle.
