Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 162
The emperor stared at Xie Wanqing. The coercion released by the emperor who once ruled the battlefield and pacified the world, and who has been on the throne for a long time, is by no means something ordinary women can bear.

Even those military generals often couldn't resist the power of the emperor and were dripping with cold sweat, but the little girl in front of him, who was only in her teens, was able to remain calm and calm, which really puzzled the emperor!
The silence between the two lasted for a long time, and finally the emperor sighed and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Xie Wanqing looked at the emperor, then knelt down on the ground, and said, "Although I know that my daughter's request will provoke thunderous wrath, I still want to risk my life to speak the truth!"

"Okay, tell me!" the emperor said calmly.

Xie Wanqing held her breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "A courtier is mediocre and unfit for a good match, let alone being a crown princess. Your Majesty should consider withdrawing her order and dissolving the marriage between the courtier and the crown prince!"

"What did you say?" The emperor looked at Xie Wanqing in shock, a surprise he hadn't felt for a long time.

"The minister is willing to make a marriage contract with the prince. From then on, the marriage between a man and a woman will have nothing to do with each other!" Xie Wanqing plucked up her courage and spoke out her heart.

The emperor slammed the table and said angrily: "Xie Wanqing, don't think that because you have been wronged by this matter, I will pamper you!"

"I don't dare to think this way, but my daughter is really a person who doesn't know how to judge the situation. Your Majesty must choose a concubine for the prince because he hopes to be able to assist the prince and be a good wife for the prince. But my daughter is probably too dull to be worthy of the crown prince. Not the crown prince!"

Xie Wanqing didn't care about the emperor's anger, it was impossible for him to punish her at this time.

"Are you threatening me?" the emperor said angrily.

"My daughter dare not!" Xie Wanqing said.

"You want to retire, don't you want me to punish the prince and Xie Siru severely? You want to retreat and force me to submit?" The emperor thought it was just Xie Wanqing's trick.

Xie Wanqing shook her head, and said: "I really don't mean that, if my daughter is only angry for herself, you don't have to plead for my sister just now, your majesty, in order to give my daughter an explanation, you will definitely find a reason to punish her." younger sister!"

"You see it clearly, so why did you insist on retiring?" the emperor asked.

"The courtier is probably not reconciled. Before the courtier has passed the family, the crown prince has an affair with the courtier's younger sister. The courtier dare not say that the prince is not good. It must be that the courtier is not as good as the younger sister in the prince's heart, and the courtier is no better. She is an ordinary woman who hopes to marry a husband who can treat each other with heart, the crown prince... I am afraid that this is not what I want!"

Xie Wanqing showed a melancholy look, and her smile seemed so ethereal.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean, the crown prince and your sister have already had an affair?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to say that, but your Majesty, I'm not really a fool. If it wasn't for my younger sister and the crown prince having a close relationship in private, the prince would have brought her to such an important Shanglin Banquet. Could it be because of my daughter's The reason? Does the emperor think that the courtiers can believe the prince's explanation?"

Xie Wanqing found it extremely ridiculous.

Of course the emperor is not stupid, and he doesn't believe what the prince said, but what he has to consider is the court situation, the country and the country.

"You are going to be a princess, and you may be the queen of the world in the future. Could it be that your vision is only the love of your own children?" the emperor asked.

"That's why I say my daughter is dull, unsuitable for a good match, and not worthy of being a princess. What I want is really just sincerity!" Xie Wanqing said with a smile.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "I won't agree to this matter! How about it... I can promise you one thing, one thing that is not too much!"

Xie Wanqing just thought it was funny, what's not too much?

But she didn't dare to confront the emperor, who would let this person be in charge of everyone's life and death.

"Your Majesty's daughter dare not ask for rewards from His Majesty, the so-called no reward without merit, my daughter thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Xie Wanqing rejected the emperor.

How could the emperor allow Xie Wanqing to refuse, for today's matter, if Xie Wanqing's mouth is to be silenced, she must accept this reward.

So the emperor took out a gold medal from his cuff, handed it to Xie Wanqing, and said: "Gold medals are bestowed by the emperor. Since the founding of the country, there have been very few people who have been able to receive such rewards, and only generals who have made illustrious military exploits have this kind of reward." Waiting for the honor, I made an exception today and rewarded you with a gold medal, you should know the weight of this gold medal and how much I love you!"

Xie Wanqing was also very surprised, she didn't expect the emperor to reward her with a gold medal, she was stunned for a long time, but she didn't realize it.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Do you think this reward is not in your favor?"

Xie Wanqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't dare, I'm just flattered, I don't know what to say for a while!"

"Well, then accept it, there is no need to say anything, I know you have been wronged!" The emperor stuffed the gold medal into Xie Wanqing's hand.

Xie Wanqing did not dare to resist the decree, so she could only thank her: "My daughter, thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor raised his hand and said: "Excuse me, you should go out to see your aunt quickly, she is afraid that she is waiting impatiently, and thinks I am going to do something to you!"

Judging from the emperor's tone, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Concubine Cui, Xie Wanqing said: "No, the concubine has a sincere heart towards the emperor, the reason why she said and acted improperly just now is that she was too worried about my ministers. I don't want to disobey the emperor!"

"Hmph, I know better than you what kind of person your aunt is!" The emperor was still unhappy, the performance of Concubine Cui Gui today made him even more afraid of the Cui family.

Xie Wanqing's heart sank, if the emperor is dissatisfied with Concubine Cui Gui, he will definitely spare no effort to deal with the Cui family in the future.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is often said that teeth and tongues will fight. Although the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are deeply in love, there are inevitably some bumps and bumps. When the Imperial Concubine is as old as a courtier Just entering the palace to serve the emperor, and being favored by you more, naturally she has a somewhat delicate temperament, which is also the result of your favor, isn't it just the emperor's true temperament that loves her?"

After hearing Xie Wanqing's words, the emperor finally smiled a bit, and said: "You can talk, but Yu Ling has indeed brought me a lot of comfort these years, ever since the empress and..."

After the emperor said the word "he", he stopped suddenly, and a look of surprise or worry flashed across his face.

Xie Wanqing guessed that the one mentioned later was probably Xuanyuan Jue's mother concubine, Concubine Yang, right?
The emperor's expression suddenly dimmed, as if he lost his strength in a short period of time, he waved his hand and said, "Go out, I want to be alone for a while!"

Xie Wanqing nodded, and said, "My daughter-in-law resigns!"

After speaking, he left the room, and the emperor stayed there alone, quietly watching the flickering candlelight in front of him, and let out a deep sigh.

Xie Wanqing was at the door, paused, looked back, and finally could only shake her head and sigh, she also couldn't understand the complicated feelings between the emperor, the first empress, and the late Concubine Yang.

But the emperor's attitude towards the prince and King Jing made people even more puzzled.

Appointing Xuanyuan Ming as the crown prince was a matter of course, but he didn't attach much importance to Xuanyuan Ming. On the contrary, he was more inclined to Jing Wang Xuanyuan Jue in court affairs. For example, the Shanglin Banquet is a big proof.

Such an important celebrity banquet, but he chose to let King Jing undertake it. He gave great financial and human support every year, and he himself came to support King Jing.

Although the crown prince is in the position of the crown prince and has some ministers around him, the errands he takes over are often not as important and beneficial as King Jing's.

Everyone in the world knew that King Jing was always the emperor's favorite, but she knew that in the end the emperor dealt with King Jing with a deadly hand!
This is by no means a favor, but a kind of flattery, which first aroused Xuanyuan Jue's desire to seize the throne, and finally cut off his way to the throne resolutely, making Xuanyuan Jue irreversible.

In the world, there is such a king, but no such father!

Xie Wanqing doesn't understand the emperor's heart, but she knows that in this life, she will not allow herself to repeat the tragedy, nor will she let the prince get his wish. Compared to Xuanyuan Ming, she hopes that Xuanyuan Jue will win throne.

After Xie Wanqing walked out, Concubine Cui hurried up to meet her, and asked anxiously, "Wan'er, what's the matter? Is the emperor..."

"Hush, ma'am, I'm fine, let's... let's talk when we get back!" Xie Wanqing stopped Concubine Cui, this is not the place to talk.

Concubine Cui Gui was also concerned, she looked around and said, "Okay, come with me!"

Concubine Cui took Xie Wanqing to another place, and after making sure that no one else was spying on her, she asked, "What did the emperor tell you to say?"

Xie Wanqing showed the gold medal, and Concubine Cui Gui was so shocked that her eyes nearly dropped, she said, "A reward from the emperor?"

"Yes!" Xie Wanqing said.

Concubine Cui took a deep breath, and said: "It seems that the emperor is determined to suppress this matter for the prince, and won't let you speak!"

"En!" Xie Wanqing nodded.

Concubine Cui held Xie Wanqing's hand and said distressedly: "Wan'er, auntie is useless, if the emperor insists on calming down this matter, I won't even be able to seek justice for you!"

"Auntie, what are you talking about? Wan'er has been protected by you and my grandmother since she was a child. Even if she was wronged in this matter, I can't blame you. Don't worry about me, and don't blame yourself, Wan'er I have grown up and can protect myself!"

Xie Wanqing also tightly held Concubine Cui's hand, she hoped that Concubine Cui would stop treating her like that stupid girl who didn't understand anything, worrying about her everywhere, always losing her normalcy because of caring too much , against being used to calculate.

Concubine Cui Gui looked at Xie Wanqing, frowned slightly, and said: "My mother and I care about you, and we should. Your mother died young, and your cruel father is...you and your brother have been alone since childhood, how can I care about you?" Can you just watch you being abused by that mother and daughter in the future?"

"Aunt..." Xie Wanqing yelled at him, "Don't worry, Wan'er will not be abused by others. Those who want to harm me, I will let them suffer the consequences!"

"Wan'er?" Concubine Cui Guifei saw Xie Wanqing showing such an expression for the first time, with bitter hatred and killing intent, which made her feel strange!
