Chapter 890: 890-Forced Buying and Selling
Even if he wanted to stop her, he would have to have the guts to do so.
Although Emperor Yong Ping treated his ministers with great courtesy and generosity, he was always a man of his word to the people around him and did not allow others to question him.
Once there was a different voice in the court, it would be harsh. However, in the harem, the emperor would think that his authority had been attacked, and some people would secretly refuse to obey the control of the imperial court.
There was no room for different voices.
What should he say?
You were so lustful that you could even bite the former imperial aunt, yet you asked him to stop you.
Fortunately, the Emperor was just saying it casually and did not intend to pursue the matter.
Emperor Yong Ping couldn’t sit still anymore and went to Empress Xiao’s palace.
Empress Xiao didn’t hide anything and began to play dumb Zen with him. She turned the faces of those messengers in the palace and learned from them.
“.. I have no choice but to kill the chicken as an example to the monkeys. Once this rumor spreads outside the palace, I’m afraid that if someone with ill intentions is mixed up with the death of King Huaiyang…”
Emperor Yong Ping was shocked.
“It’s not like that, it’s just… One time, I drank too much…”
Empress Xiao laughed dryly, thinking that if he wasn’t the Emperor, she would have scooped a basin of feces and smashed it on his face.
You drank too much, the people around you also drank too much, even that silver wife of the Wen family drank too much?
Wine was a good thing. Any kind of dirty sh * t could be placed on it.
“Zhen didn’t think so much. We were really fine in the past.”Emperor Yong Ping had a headache. At that time, he was also greatly stimulated. Then the Wen Corporation…Xiao Jingai…
There was no way to tell Empress Xiao about this.
” Do you believe in the past and present?” he asked.
Empress Xiao clenched her fists in her sleeves. If he dared to say that he and that Wen shi were fated, she would dare to slap the Emperor’s face to wake him up.
Emperor Yong Ping shook his head. It seemed like he didn’t believe it.
To be honest, he didn’t believe it either, but there were some things that he had to believe.
“In short, I was foolish. It won’t happen again in the future. This matter ends here.”
Empress Xiao took a deep breath.” This is also my intention. That’s why I dealt with this heavy blow. I only hope to warn the palace servants to watch their mouths. As for that Madam Wen, let her enter the palace less in the future.””
“If it’s just a young lady from another family or even a widow from another family, it’s fine if His Majesty takes a fancy to her. At most, he’ll bring her into the palace and settle her down.”
” But the Prince of Huaiyang died not long ago, and his entire family was beheaded. The Wen family put righteousness before family…”
“Prince Linchuan has rebelled because of this. If others say anything unpleasant, won’t Your Majesty be trapped in injustice?”
If the two of them were to hook up, people would definitely gossip. Perhaps the rebellion of the Prince of Huaiyang was fake and he would kill his husband and snatch his wife. Or perhaps the Emperor was the one who forced the Prince of Huaiyang to rebel and sleep with the Princess Consort?
Empress Xiao did not know what to say about the Emperor. Was he so brainless?
Defend against this and that. If you have time, what’s better than guarding your lower body?!
The Emperor and Empress were speechless.
Fortunately, Emperor Yong Ping did not reject her arrangement, which comforted Empress Xiao. As long as the Emperor could really make a decision, it would be treated as a scandal. It would not cause much of a stir if it did not fall into place.
Emperor Yong Ping was so embarrassed that he didn’t even have a place to put his hands.”I have to return to Taiji Palace to deal with some administrative matters.”
Empress Xiao also didn’t want to be alone with him in the room. It was too disgusting, so she respectfully sent him away.
The next day, when she met Madam Wen handing her token into the palace, Empress Xiao almost exploded when she heard this.
“Why are you so shameless? She had never seen a man in her life or something?”Empress Xiao was furious.” Gui Zhi, go and send her away personally. Tell her that there are some rumors in the Palace that are not sincere. This Empress is also afraid that her widow family will be gossiped about. For the sake of her own reputation, it’s better for her to enter the Palace less often. Don’t let others say bad things about her.””
After sending Gui Zhi away, he soon heard from the palace servants that Imperial Concubine Chu had gone to Taiji Palace and caused a ruckus with the Emperor, scratching the Emperor’s face.
“Yes!” Empress Xiao vented her anger.
After being scratched by Imperial Concubine Chu, Emperor Yong Ping became well-behaved for a while. He did not show off everywhere and even canceled court meetings.
On the other hand, Wang Zulong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He wanted to drill into Taiji Palace when he saw the sky. In order to see the Emperor, he had scattered a large amount of money. He just wanted someone to pass a word in, but in the end, even Duo Fu could not stand it.
If he told Emperor Yong Ping, he was afraid that if the Emperor did not see him, the money that the Emperor had given to Provincial Governor Wang would be gone. He probably would not even be able to take out the money for the wedding.
He obediently took out the 1,000 taels of silver that Wang Zulong had asked someone to pass to him.
Emperor Yong Ping laughed in anger. Didn’t you tell him? The Xie family won’t do it.”
“I did.” “Governor Wang said that he can do anything.” It was rare for him to be so attentive to a girl and to be so compatible with her. He would rather break his bones and give them to the Xie family to marry her.”
“You still want to force a purchase?” Emperor Yong Ping rolled his eyes.
“I didn’t expect this Provincial Governor Wang to be such a devoted person.”
Emperor Yong Ping couldn’t help but laugh. The corner of his mouth twitched as he laughed, and he gritted his teeth in pain. This Imperial Concubine Chu was too much. She scratched him, but it seemed like he was the one who did it. She cried and struggled.
“If he gives it to you, just take it.”
Emperor Yong Ping was curious. Was it that plum blossom, Lady Xiao, or Xie Xian?”
He was purely curious. The provincial governor of a state, although he was a foreigner who had surrendered, his ancestors were all Central Plainsmen. There was no generation gap between them. Other than looking a little too old, wasn’t it more than enough to have plum blossoms?
“Then what does Youmei look like?”
“I’ve never seen it before.””He pondered.” I don’t think she’s beautiful. She’s attracted to you. Maybe Provincial Governor Wang just thinks that she has the same interests…”
The interest of hitting the same place every day?
Emperor Yong Ping did not understand.
However, it did not stop him from wanting to fulfill Ancestral Dragon Wang’s wish.
He was being chased too quickly.
If he just said that the Xie family wouldn’t do it and he backed out, then it would be fine. However, this Ancestral Dragon Wang really had the stance of pestering him to the death.
“Why did the Xie family disagree?”The Emperor asked.
“Xie Langjun doesn’t want to climb up to the rank of Provincial Governor Wang.”
Emperor Yong Ping’s mouth twitched. Was this human language?
Who could be as big as the Xie family of Chen County? Didn’t he still marry the eldest daughter of Sikong Xiao’s family? Why didn’t he say that he wouldn’t marry the eldest daughter of Sikong Xiao?
In terms of connections, it was definitely the Xiao family.
She rejected him for the sake of rejecting him, yet Minister Xie was so sloppy in finding excuses.
“Go and summon the long princess of Xuan City into the palace for a trip to zhen.”Emperor Yong Ping waved his hand and dismissed Duo Fu. At this moment, a messenger eunuch passed a message to Duo Fu.
“What is it now?” Emperor Yong Ping couldn’t hear the two eunuchs ‘small conversation clearly, and it was annoying enough that they kept making noises even if they didn’t want to.
