Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 334 Xiao Yi’s Marriage (5)
Today, he is not satisfied with the prince who is growing up and has the potential to seize power. He also does not like the fourth prince born by the queen. It can be said that he is not satisfied with his sons. None of his sons meet the ideal of perfection in today's heart According to the request of the prince, his son basically followed their mother and concubine, which made the current emperor very unhappy.

In recent years, today's lucky harem is much more frequent than before, and the purpose is to give birth to a son that will satisfy him completely.It's just that although the emperor gave a lot of rain and dew in the past few years, he only got two little princesses, which made the emperor very disappointed.Only then will there be the will to select beauties this spring to fill the harem.

After saying those words, the queen seemed to be moved in her heart, and she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.Since Wu Jingzhen cannot be her son's side concubine, then she has to find a way to win over the seventh prince, Xiao Yi, and hope it will be too late.

"Grandma Jiang, ask someone to find out what Lao Qi likes. Lao Qi has been unknown all these years, and I have almost forgotten that there is such an adult prince in the palace." The queen thought for a while and ordered in a deep voice.

Mother Jiang quickly agreed, thinking about who to send to inquire about it so that no trace could be found.Suddenly, Mother Jiang remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Oh, it's not good, empress, you have to break the marriage of the Seventh Prince."

The queen frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

"Back to your mother, the third young lady of Prince Ning's mansion is the granddaughter of the old man, and she has a very good relationship with Princess Yijie. The dowry has been taken out. With the support of Prince Ning's Mansion and Duke Zhen's Mansion, wouldn't the Seventh Prince have the strength to compete with the Fourth Highness?"

The queen was startled, and her face immediately darkened.How could she have forgotten this.The great help of Prince Ning's Mansion can only belong to her son, the fourth prince. If other people try to get involved, the queen will never agree.

"Come here, help me to change clothes, I'm going to pay my respects to the queen mother." The queen ordered solemnly, with a gloomy and frightening expression on her face.Not long after, the queen had changed her clothes and went to pay her respects.

The Empress Dowager was a little bored, so she ordered people to go to Xuan Nv Xianer to tell jokes to relieve the boredom. As soon as the people who didn't want Xuan Nv Xianer left, someone reported that the Queen was coming.The queen mother said with a smile: "Please."

The queen came in to greet the queen mother, and said with a smile: "Queen mother, I am here to congratulate you!"

The queen mother smiled and asked: "Oh, could it be that the concubine is happy?"

As soon as the queen heard this question, she felt blocked, but she couldn't show it in front of the queen mother.She shook her head with a smile and said: "No, you are adding another granddaughter-in-law. I heard that the emperor has already agreed."

"Grandson's daughter-in-law? Does the seventh prince have a girl in his fancy?" The queen mother thought about it in her heart, thinking that the seventh prince hadn't decided on a wife yet, so she asked with a smile.

The queen hurriedly complimented: "The queen mother is really holy, isn't she the seventh child, he fell in love with the eldest girl of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she was the Princess Yijie who was appointed by the emperor in the past, she often entered the palace in the first few years, and the girl in the past two years It’s too big, but it doesn’t come much.”

The Empress Dowager's face was originally full of smiles, but when she heard that the Empress said that the Seventh Prince was looking for Wu Jingzhen, the smile on her face froze.After a while, he frowned and said, "Have you ever issued a decree?"

The queen shook her head and said: "Not yet, the decree must be opened to invent the seal."

The queen mother nodded and said: "That's good, if the order is issued, it will be too late. Come, please go and invite the emperor to come over." The queen mother shouted to the people below.

"Does the queen mother feel that something is wrong?" The queen clearly knew what the queen mother was thinking, but asked deliberately pretending not to know.

Sure enough, the queen mother said with a sullen face: "Lao Qi is a child, he is confused, are you adults also confused? Princess Yijie is a girl, but she has such a background, how can she marry back and become a princess, even ordinary people have different opinions." How come the royal family doesn’t pay much attention to the idea of ​​marrying the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother?”

The empress was overjoyed, she knelt down and apologized: "What the empress mother said is that the concubine is confused."

"Is this what you should do?" The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.

The queen shook her head hurriedly and said: "No, no, it was the emperor's decision. The concubine came to report to the queen mother after hearing about it." So it's normal for this news to reach the Queen's ears, and the Queen wouldn't be charged with spying on forbidden news, otherwise the Queen wouldn't dare to come directly to apply eye drops in front of the Queen Mother.

"Hmph, he's also confused!" The Queen Mother is the current birth mother, so naturally there is no need to be taboo when speaking.

Because it was during the Chinese New Year, the emperor didn't need to review the memorial, so the emperor rushed over as soon as the queen mother announced it.He smiled and asked Ann, but the queen mother ignored him with a cold face, which made the emperor very puzzled, he didn't know why the old lady was upset again.He winked at the queen.

The queen had no choice but to whisper: "Your majesty, the queen mother knows that you are going to give Lao Qi a marriage."

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the case, queen mother, the son is about to report to you that Lao Qi has taken a fancy to the eldest girl of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. I am asking for grace here. I thought that Jingzhen's child is very good, and her father and grandfather have made great contributions to the court, so I agreed to reward this grace."

The queen mother said angrily: "Nonsense, Yijie is a good girl. The emperor can give you any rewards you want, but you can't fill it in with your son for nothing. That child's life is too hard. He was born without a father or a mother. You are not afraid of restraining her." With Lao Qi."

In the palace, the one who paid a little attention to Xiao Yi was the Queen Mother.When Xiao Yi's biological mother just passed away, the queen mother took him to her side to raise him for a while, and later Xiao Yi moved to the prince's house, and the queen mother fell ill again, so the connection between grandparents and grandchildren was not so close.However, the queen mother has always taken Xiao Yi, the grandson of the Seventh Emperor, who is not outstanding, but very kind and simple, in her heart.It's just that because she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Xiao Yi, the Queen Mother stayed away from Xiao Yi on the bright side.

It was precisely because of concern that the queen mother refused to let Xiao Yi marry Wu Jingzhen, for fear that her grandson would be killed by Wu Jingzhen.The queen mother is different from the emperor, she still cares about her grandchildren.

"This... queen mother, you are too worried. Mrs. Zhen Guo died for love that day, and her death has nothing to do with Jingzhen." The emperor hurriedly explained.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "That won't work either."
