The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

Chapter 162 The Emperor's Mind

The emperor also laughed: "My two sons have their own strengths, and I really can't make a decision, but the eldest prince is generous by nature, and his character is the most Xiaozhen. In fact, I am partial to him in my heart. It's just that the second prince is both talented and talented. He is also likable. Sigh..."

Qin Daban said: "This matter, how do you answer Prince Zhao?"

The emperor sighed and said: "This hateful Zhao Xinghe, leaving this difficult problem to me to decide, really... oh..."

Qin Daban stopped talking.

The emperor said: "Princess Fengyi..."

Qin Daban said: "I heard in a daze that Princess Fengyi pretended to be a court lady and went to chat with Zhao Xinghai every day. Many people knew about this, so the eldest prince said that she was a matchmaker."

The emperor immediately asked: "Fengyi and Zhao Xinghai..."

Qin Daban said: "Don't worry, they are just chatting, under the watchful eyes of everyone, there is nothing beyond the rules, but Princess Fengyi always does this, it is inevitable that it will be true."

The emperor asked: "The eldest prince reminded Zhao Xinghai kindly, or took the opportunity to win Zhao Xinghai?"

Qin Daban had no choice but to say: "How can I know this?"

The emperor was silent for a while: "The child is older, and he has more thoughts."

Qin Daban didn't speak, but lowered his head and stood aside.

The emperor said: "Let's go, I'm going to see the queen."

Qin Daban followed the emperor to Zhuque Palace.

When the queen heard that the emperor was coming, she rushed out to welcome him.

The emperor looked at her and said nothing.Seeing the emperor's uneasy expression, the queen couldn't help feeling nervous, served tea herself, and asked, "Your Majesty, you seem to be preoccupied, but what's the matter?"

The emperor looked at Qin Daban.Qin Daban took out all the servants of Suzaku Palace.

Seeing this posture, the queen became more and more disturbed, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you..."

The emperor looked at her and said: "Queen, I have always been at ease with you, so I handed over the harem to you to manage, but now something like this happened..."

The queen's heart skipped a beat: "Your majesty," the queen knelt down on the ground, "I don't know what's wrong with my concubine?"

The emperor sighed and said, "Are you really ignorant of Feng Yi's matter, or are you pretending not to know?"

The queen said: "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't know at first, but when she found out later, they had chatted for several days. The concubine thought to herself, Zhao Xinghai was born in a general family, and his family background and character are very decent, so it is suitable to match Fengyi..."

The emperor interrupted her and said: "You are confused! That Fengyi is the eldest princess, how many eyes in this palace are watching her. Do you think that everyone else is a fool and can't see it? Now... alas... I am also in a dilemma."

The queen said: "Did Fengyi cause some trouble?"

The emperor said: "I said a long time ago that this harem is the place with the most disputes in the world. Don't be careless. Now someone is using Fengyi's marriage to win over the Zhao family. Zhao Xinghe came to see me and asked me about my attitude. If I express my opinion, I'm afraid I've been tricked by others. If I don't express my opinion, Fengyi will not be able to marry Zhao Xinghai in this lifetime. Tell me, what should we do about this?"

The empress burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the concubine was thinking about it. I thought that I would decree the marriage in the past few days, but I didn't know that so many things would be involved."

The emperor sighed and said: "Get up, once this matter involves a battle for power, it will be extremely complicated. The Zhao family has two kings, and Zhao Xinghe holds the military power in his hands. If they support anyone, whoever has a great chance of winning. The eldest prince has already started to move, and the second prince must follow closely. The situation in the court may be turbulent."

The queen cried: "Then what should Fengyi do?"

The emperor said: "Don't worry now, just say that you don't want Fengyi to marry early and want to keep her for a few more years. Let's talk about her marriage later."

The queen knew there was no other way, so she had to agree.

The emperor said: "The Zhao family is a loyal minister and can be trusted. If the time is right in the future, I will make another plan. But now the situation is going to change drastically. Feng Yi has already been pointed out by everyone. Let her settle down a bit and we will talk about it later."

That's all for the queen.

The emperor came out of Zhuque Palace and walked to the imperial garden.Suddenly a burst of laughter came, the emperor stopped and asked, "Who is it?"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and a little maid came out slowly: "The emperor Wan'an."

The emperor looked at her: "You were the one laughing just now?"

The little maid pointed behind her: "It's a noble person."

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "Come out, you girl."

The virtuous man came out slowly: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor smiled: "I haven't been to your place for a long time, let's go and have a cup of tea."

The virtuous man smiled complacently: "Your Majesty, there is new tea in my concubine's place. My father bought it with great difficulty. I just drank it once and kept the rest."

The emperor pinched her nose, "You are still so delicate."

The virtuous man smiled grinningly: "Your Majesty, let's go, you can also try my new tea."

The emperor took her hand and walked slowly towards the Cuihua Hall.

The queen asked someone to find Princess Fengyi and told her what the emperor had said.Princess Fengyi felt a chill in her heart. "Brother Emperor, why..."

The queen said: "Don't worry about why, things in the palace are not always like that, not for fame, but for profit."

Feng Yi asked: "Could it be for..."

The queen glanced at her: "Speak carefully."

Feng Yi stopped talking.

The queen said: "Then the Zhao family is a good family. Even your father said that the Zhao family is a loyal family and can be trusted. If you had told me earlier, how could it be better if you tell me sooner? "

Feng Yi's eyes turned red, "Mother, I didn't expect it to be like this..."

The queen sighed and said: "Now we can only procrastinate. When will your father speak, and this will be done."

Feng Yi lowered her head, tears fell drop by drop.

The queen felt distressed at the sight, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only say: "You go back first, and we will talk about this matter slowly."

Feng Yi returned to her bedroom, weeping silently, not knowing what to do.

Here, Lord Ning and Zhao Zhongliang also heard Zhao Xinghe talk about this matter.

Prince Ning said: "Your daughter-in-law's idea is good, at least we have shown our loyalty in front of the emperor, but I'm afraid there will be conflicts in the future."

Zhao Xinghe said: "This harem and court hall, which day there is no right and wrong, in short, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, what to be afraid of."

Lord Ning smiled: "You are speaking too loudly now."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I don't covet the merits of the dragon, what are I afraid of."

Lord Ning said: "I'm afraid there will be more and more fights in the future."

Concubine Li is also listening to the second prince talking about this matter
The second prince said: "Brother is really cunning, he is going to get on with Zhao Xinghe without making a sound, he really has a big face."

Concubine Li laughed: "Then the Zhao family is also obedient, neither came to propose marriage, nor refused, just asked the emperor's opinion, this way, the emperor finally understood."

The second prince asked: "How do you understand the law?"

Concubine Li said: "Think about it, if the emperor is interested in the eldest prince, if he doesn't give the marriage right away, this is not only to announce to the world, but also to remind Zhao Xinghe that the eldest prince will be the heir apparent in the future, and he needs to help him with all his might. But," she laughed, "the emperor didn't do this. Tell me, the person he likes in his heart is just..."

The second prince also smiled: "Mother and Concubine, it's better for you to see what's going on."

Concubine Li said: "Concubine Liu is a concubine just like me. Apart from being the chief, how can the eldest prince be better than you? The emperor has always liked you, and now it is because of you that he broke off Feng Yi's good marriage. Tell me, does the emperor understand what he means?"

The second prince was full of ambition: "Concubine mother, don't worry, I will definitely strive to make your mother honor the world in the future."

Concubine Li said: "It doesn't matter what I do, as long as you are well, Concubine Mother will feel at peace."

The second prince left the palace and returned directly to the mansion.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, someone sent a beauty here."

The second prince asked, "Who is it?"

The housekeeper said, "It's Wu Tianwen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

The second prince laughed loudly: "These people are so well-informed. Come on, let's accept it. It's rare that he is so sincere."

Gradually, the matter got out from nowhere, and there was an undercurrent in the capital, everyone was waiting and watching, and many families had already started to think of ways to make friends with the second prince, and the second prince's house was full of people.

The emperor never said a word.
