"Empress Mother," Xue Zhao once again interrupted Empress Cai's words without giving face, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu promised me that he and Jinyi will never change for the rest of their lives." ”

As soon as these words came out, they shocked everyone.

With only one wife, the heir is a problem, so should the emperor still have the idea to abolish the crown prince and appoint His Royal Highness the King of Chu as the crown prince?

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Pu Yangxuan got up unhurriedly and bowed his hand to Wei Guogong, "Yes, father-in-law, what the son-in-law promised will remain unchanged until death." ”

"Ridiculous!" The eldest princess finally couldn't help it, and said coldly: "Xuan'er, you are a descendant of the Puyang clan, and your father's most powerful son, how can you be so nonsense?!" ”

Empress Cai smiled secretly, what if she had the support of Duke Wei?

lit the firecracker of the eldest princess, and the emperor couldn't hold it.

The hall, which was originally filled with a joyful atmosphere, fell into a dead silence in an instant.

Most of the people were so silent that they didn't even dare to move.

Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan were still calm, although the eldest princess cast a very dissatisfied gaze at them, and even when she looked at Xue Jinyi, she was more reproachful and disappointed.

The eldest princess said: "Jinyi, what I said to you, you took it as a deaf ear, right?" ”

Xue Jinyi said: "Aunt Grandma's words, Jinyi doesn't dare to forget, it's just that the King of Chu and Jinyi have a deep relationship, and he doesn't dare to be him, or Jinyi doesn't want other women in the Chu Palace." ”

"Huh." The eldest princess sneered a few times, "Duke Wei, although you and the emperor are like brothers, but in the end, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, how can you be so nonsense and don't know the general situation?" ”

"Auntie." The emperor opened his mouth lightly, unable to see his joy or anger, "I have known Wei Guogong for so many years, and I have a lifelong friendship, and it is really fateful to be able to marry him in this life...... I see the relationship between Wei Guogong and Mrs. Yuanpei, but unfortunately the fate is too short and too short, so when I see that the relationship between Xuan'er and Jinyi is so good, how can I bear to let others intervene and destroy this relationship? ”

The eldest princess's face was even more gloomy, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, you should understand the proportions!" Look at you, in addition to Queen Cai, aren't there also many concubines? ”

"No matter how many concubines and heirs are born, how many people can become qualified descendants of the Puyang clan?" The emperor said more seriously.

Empress Cai's shoulders trembled.

The emperor said again: "Besides, aren't my aunt and uncle also a couple for life?" ”

"How can we be the same! I don't ...... again" The eldest princess suddenly realized that her words were out of place now, and she was busy swallowing the words back into her stomach when they reached the tip of her tongue.

The emperor said: "How is it different? Aren't we all surnamed Puyang? ”

The eldest princess looked at the emperor who didn't care, and then looked at Pu Yangxuan and Xue Jinyi, who were calm and waveless, and the saliva when she swallowed the words just now almost choked her.

Xue Jinyi looked at this scene and knew that they didn't need to worry about taking a concubine at all, let alone worrying about the bad consequences of not taking a concubine.

So far, the prince is a waste, and the other princes are too young, and they will be easy to be pinched by their mother's family in the future, and they will become the second "Cai's", so the eldest princess who is so optimistic about the stability of Zhou Jiangshan can only pin her hopes on Pu Yangxuan alone.

So, they have nothing to fear.

There is no need to worry about the eldest princess turning her head to support the people in Gyeongju's hometown, after all, they have been separated for many years, and they have not been cultivated by themselves, and they are not orthodox enough.

Although the eldest princess is so old, she has the grace of saving her life and nurturing Pu Yang Xuan, but in this matter, Pu Yang Xuan will not make a little concession no matter what.

Now, if you give in to this matter, will you compromise because of other things in the future?

No one is perfect, no one can be truly fair and selfless, how much will he be selfish, and ask him to do something against his conscience another day?

Therefore, its own bottom line must not be breached.

Once this bottom line is breached, people's bottom line will be lowered again and again.

The eldest princess's face turned red from anger, and the emperor ordered: "The eldest princess is so old, how can you let her drink so much wine?" Quick, help down and have a good rest, and then ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at the eldest princess, if you need any supplements, although take the best from the palace. ”

The eldest princess was so angry that she didn't want to speak, so she shook her head again and again in disappointment, and let the palace maid help her to leave.

"Queen, my aunt is an elder, why don't you take care of it?" The emperor's tone suddenly became a little colder, and he ordered Empress Cai.

Empress Cai was stunned, the emperor blamed her for mentioning the matter of taking a concubine for the king of Chu?

That's your own aunt, why don't you take care of it yourself?

Queen Cai only dared to think in her heart, and she could only respond submissively on her mouth, and with a smirk on her face, she followed the eldest princess out.

The emperor looked at the courtiers with different faces, raised the wine glass in front of him, and said loudly to everyone present: "The trouble of the remnants of the previous dynasty is finally gone, the king of Chu can have both, and he has lived up to the surname Puyang, and the princess of Chu is pregnant, so many happy events, let us drink this cup together, congratulate the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and congratulate the king and princess of Chu." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, their hearts, which were still a little depressed just now, were suddenly washed away by the news that "Princess Chu is pregnant", and their faces were filled with cheerful smiles again, and they raised their glasses, drank a glass of wine, and turned to say hello to the King of Chu and his wife.

Xue Jinyi smiled kindly and nodded her head in greetings.

Pu Yangxuan sat back beside her, grabbed her hand firmly, and pressed it on his lap.

The emperor raised his eyebrows to Xue Zhao with a little pride, and then raised his wine glass and drank a glass with him alone.

Xue Zhao finished drinking and looked at Xue Jinyi, her face was somewhat similar to Bai Yu, her expression was gentle and decent, and when she looked at Pu Yangxuan, her eyes were full of affectionate brilliance.

How can such a couple bear to be destroyed?

Soon, the hall returned to a joyful atmosphere until the end.

The emperor was a little drunk, and Gonggong Ning carefully helped him out.

The others left in twos and threes.

Xue Zhao drank a lot of wine, but his eyes were still clear, he motioned for Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan to come over and talk, and a few people went out of the back door and came to the railing behind the hall, where they could see the bright moon in the night, and no one would notice the three of them except for the guards.

Xue Zhao looked at the little couple with emotion and patted them lightly on the shoulder, "You didn't let me down. ”

Xue Jinyi was like a little girl who was coquettish to her father, held Xue Zhao's arm intimately, and said with a smile: "Thank you, father." ”

"Don't thank me." Xue Zhao was like a loving father, caressing his daughter's hair, with a doting meaning in his eyes, "I'm sorry for your mother, I'm sorry for you, how can I let you have regrets?" ”
