In the study
Mrs. Jian looked at the investigation contents on the table and was so angry that he slapped the table. What a bunch of fish in troubled waters!
The rumors spread so fiercely in the market that you don't need to think about it to know that there are people behind it who are adding fuel to the flames. It doesn't matter how the princes fight among themselves. Taifu Jian doesn't care, but they shouldn't involve An An this time!
The second prince didn’t even know what to say! Why should he care about the marriage?
After Taifu Jian returned to Shengjing and attended the morning court the next day, he was summoned by the emperor to the royal study.
The marriage grant was indeed an impulsive move. It seems that the emperor felt a little ashamed of being an old minister like Taifu Jian, so he went to court early in the morning and called for a heart-to-heart talk between the emperor and his ministers.
Without Jian Yu's words, Taifu Jian would have rejected the marriage even at the risk of angering the emperor.
But his granddaughter said that to him, and Mrs. Jian couldn't bear to spoil it. He didn't sleep all night during the night of the conversation, and he was also thinking about the marriage, and inexplicably felt that what his granddaughter said actually made some sense.
Even for a princess of the royal family, friction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cannot be avoided when she marries into her husband's family. Even if he finds a good husband-in-law for An An, she will still have to deal with matters such as the inner house. But if she marries Prince Jing, An An's status will become higher, and her status will become higher in the future. Be freer.
There is no need for her husband's granddaughter to settle in Shengjing, and it is convenient for him to take care of her. Without the constraints of her parents-in-law and husband, if An An is homesick, it doesn't matter if she returns to the Taifu's residence for a long time.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. Jian Yu persuaded him to look away, thinking that this marriage was not a bad thing, and the most important thing was that his granddaughter would be satisfied.
In this way, Mrs. Jian in the Imperial Study Room did all the "drama" and told the emperor about Jian Yu's praises about how wise Prince Jing was and how he was the best husband in her heart.
Taifu Jian was a very talented scholar. He reprocessed Jian Yu's words and was moved when he heard the emperor's cry. He thought to himself that he had found a good wife for Jin Yan!
The emperor originally thought that Mrs. Jian would be somewhat resentful, but he did not expect to hear such remarks and became more and more satisfied with Jian Yu.
The second prince was imprisoned for this reason. Miss Jian was willing to marry, and Taifu Jian also said that Jin Yan was a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was very supportive of the marriage. Are you looking for trouble by disagreeing?
Naturally, the emperor didn't listen to what the second prince said and drove him away out of sight and out of mind.
Unexpectedly, it became the source of rumors outside.
Looking at the worried granddaughter, Mrs. Jian told Jian Yu the conversation between the emperor and his ministers in the imperial study room to reassure her.
"An'an, don't be afraid, the emperor will not misunderstand."
Jian Yu was relieved after hearing this. She had nothing to worry about if the emperor didn't believe him. However, this was not the purpose of her visit to her grandfather's study.
"Grandpa, I feel aggrieved!" Jian Yu sobbed twice, took the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes and said, "I want to see the emperor."
"I want to tell the emperor that I will not marry. My reputation will be damaged and I am not worthy of marrying Prince Jing!"
At first, Taifu Jian thought that his granddaughter didn't understand what he meant, and wanted to explain to the emperor. When he heard what Jian Yu said later, his eyes lit up and he said, "An'an, won't you be afraid when you see the emperor?"
Taifu Jian, who was originally thinking about how to keep his granddaughter out of the gossip among the princes and away from the rumors, now has an idea in mind after listening to his granddaughter's words.
"Don't be afraid. Grandpa knows that I never have stage fright."
If Jian Yu is bold, she is afraid of the dark, insects, dirt... and many things, but if she is small, she is not afraid of anyone.
Ever since she was a child, as Jian Yu said, she has never shown timidity in any situation.
"Okay, grandpa will take you to see the emperor!"
In this way, Mrs. Jian led Jian Yu into the palace. On the way, he told Jian Yu that she could cry freely and it didn't matter if she spoke louder when she felt wronged.
Taifu Jian told Jian Yu that the rumors in the market would become more and more popular, but it would be different if one person took action, and that was the emperor.
Jian Yu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her grandfather and she thought about it together.
In Jian Yu's view, when faced with false accusations from others, as in the current situation, falling into a self-evident cycle is the stupidest thing to do.
At this time, it was useless for the Taifu Mansion to come out to explain. First of all, there was no strong self-supporting evidence for this kind of thing. Even if it was brought out, people in the dark would throw other dirty water at it, and it would be impossible to prevent it.
Now that the eldest prince and the second prince are watching with eager eyes, and are sure to use her to drag the third prince into trouble, they will definitely bite her and won't let go. He can't even think of explaining this clearly.
So Jian Yu thought of the emperor. They all seemed to have overlooked one thing. She was the unmarried wife of Prince Jing, and she was not one of those ordinary young ladies waiting to be married.
How could she be allowed to talk and label her at will?
Being the second young lady of the Jian family may not bring much face, but who made her status different? Now, if you don't give her face, it will be a slap in Prince Jing's face!
No matter whether we can always have this representation in the future, but for now it is.
There is someone above her, and that is the emperor!
In this era of supremacy of imperial power, there has never been any such thing as freedom of speech.
Mrs. Jian led his granddaughter into the palace. Everyone thought that the granddaughter must have been frightened and went to explain herself.
As everyone knows, the two of them went to complain!
"Men and women sleep in different beds when they are three years old, and sit on different tables when they are seven years old. An An has abided by etiquette since she was a child, and when it comes to guarding men and women..."
In the imperial study room, Taifu Jian was talking at length. He was always calm and composed, but he was obviously very angry about the remarks that slandered his granddaughter.
The emperor first comforted Mrs. Jian with a few words, and then turned to Jian Yu and said, "Miss Jian, don't take it to heart, I,"
Before she could finish her words of relief, Jian Yu burst into tears, and the emperor stopped talking.
I saw Jian Yu sobbing and saying: "My daughter is guilty. Now there are such rumors in the market. My daughter has damaged my reputation and is not worthy of Prince Jing. It is my unlucky daughter..."
Jian Yu cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. Mrs. Jian beside her couldn't help but worry, regretting that she didn't explain it like that. After crying like this, An An would not be able to eat when she went back.
The emperor was deeply moved when he saw that Jian Yu was so filthy and yet she was still thinking about Prince Jing.
People in this world are biased. He was angry at the second prince because of one thing. The second prince could act like a gentleman, but how could he not be biased towards his uncle?
Jin Yan has loved him so much since childhood! As a result, I am now saying specious things for the sake of so-called great principles.
Look at the girl from the Jian family below. She has been treated like this, but she is still thinking about Jin Yan, which shows that she is really in love.
Being able to sit on the throne, it is not easy for the current emperor. He knew clearly in his heart that there were rumors that these sons were fighting each other.
We usually have such a deep brotherly love in front of him, do you really think he is too old to see it? They have all walked this way, so they know exactly what they think of him.
Only my younger brother is different! Thinking of Zhou Jinyan, the emperor's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Miss Jian, this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. Jin Yanquan has knowledge and won't blame you..."
Half an hour later, Taifu Jian and Jian Yu came out of the palace.
Everyone is saying that Miss Jian Er’s eyes are swollen from crying, she must have been punished! The betrothal is probably going to fall through.
However, things took a turn for the worse, beyond everyone's expectations.
Not long after the grandfather and grandson left the palace, a notice was posted at the city gate. What is extremely rare is that the notice was stamped with the emperor's jade seal!
