Chapter 110: Disagreement and Dispute
After the two finished their discussion, Concubine Yu left.
——A few days later——
"What? Empress Dowager, you want to arrange a marriage for Zhihua with Yongqi? What about Xiaoyanzi?" The emperor was invited by Empress Dowager again after the last time she wanted to arrange a marriage for Xinrong. The matter was still the same, except that the protagonist had changed.
He was really having a headache. Why was Yongqi being arranged every day? Even his marriage was urged every day, but he was not anxious at all. Why would Concubine Yu be anxious at all?
Why did he say Concubine Yu was anxious instead of Empress Dowager? Because Empress Dowager had already complained before, and Concubine Yu was so anxious that she came to see Empress Dowager every day. What's more, Concubine Yu sitting opposite him was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and it seemed that she was involved in this matter a lot!
"Emperor, I have already asked Zhihua's opinion this time. She agrees to this marriage, and she has also informed her father, and her father also agrees to this marriage, so this is indeed a good marriage." After suffering a loss last time, the Empress Dowager was much more cautious. This time she did her homework. Not only did she ask Zhihua's opinion, she also sought the opinions of her family. Everything was ready, except for granting the marriage.
As long as this marriage is settled, she will have one less worry and Concubine Yu will be more content.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this time I also consulted Zhihua's opinion. I get along very well with Zhihua. I think it would be the best thing to marry Zhihua to Yongqi." Concubine Yu was very confident. She was very satisfied with Zhihua and thought she would be a perfect match for Yongqi if she married him.
The emperor looked at Concubine Yu's smug look and didn't know what to say. She really didn't understand her son. How could Yongqi be willing to marry Zhihua? He only had Xiaoyanzi in his heart now, so how could he let anyone else marry him as his wife? What's more, Yongqi was not a person who liked to be arranged.
"Your Majesty, this matter really needs to be discussed again. Yongqi may not agree to this marriage. What's more, I want to marry Xiaoyanzi to Yongqi!" The emperor's attitude was also very firm. He could not agree with their ideas. He did this not only for Yongqi, but also for Xiaoyanzi.
"Emperor, why don't you just marry Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi as a concubine? It's the same if Zhihua is his wife!" The Empress Dowager looked a little unhappy after hearing what the emperor said. The emperor rarely disobeyed her, and he had done so several times on Xiaoyanzi's matter. Although she was quite nice to Xiaoyanzi because of Qing'er, it did not mean that the emperor could give Xiaoyanzi privileges and open backdoors again and again.
But the old Buddha was unhappy, and Concubine Yu was even more restless. She would never let Xiaoyanzi be Yongqi's wife. At most, she could be a concubine. "Your Majesty, I think what the old Buddha said is right. If you want Xiaoyanzi to marry Yongqi, she can also be a concubine. It's the same thing."
"The same? Concubine Yu, since you think they are the same, then let Zhihua be the concubine and Xiaoyanzi be the concubine." The Emperor cannot contradict the Empress Dowager, but he can disgust Concubine Yu. Since Concubine Yu thinks they are the same, then just change them!
Concubine Yu was choked. She didn't know whether to say anything or not.
The Empress Dowager was so angry when she saw the Emperor like this. She had been very patient these days. The Emperor was not only indulgent to Xiaoyanzi, but also to Hanxiang from Xinjiang. She had turned a blind eye to it. Now the Emperor even opposed a marriage. What else could she do now!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The Empress Dowager said directly, "Okay, Emperor. I am just informing you this time that Zhihua is the best candidate. Only if she marries Yongqi is the best choice. Our royal family needs to maintain orthodoxy. Now, Emperor, you only need to take care of your best affairs. You don't have to worry about other marriages in the harem." The Empress Dowager's words had the Emperor at a standstill. She wanted Zhihua to marry Yongqi. What could the Emperor do?
"My Lord, I am still the ruler of a country. The power to arrange marriages is still in my hands. I will not allow anyone to challenge my power." After hearing what the Lord said, the emperor also got angry. He was the ruler of a country, but he couldn't even decide on his own son's marriage? What was going on?
"What? A challenge! What the emperor means is that he can't tolerate the earnest advice of me, the empress dowager. How did I promote you, the emperor, to your current position, and yet you treat me like this today! If I insist on betrothing Zhihua to Yongqi, do you still want to send me to the clan house?" The old Buddha couldn't believe it. The emperor actually said such words. As the king of a country, she, the empress dowager, is almost losing her status now.
"Empress Mother, you keep saying that you want to maintain orthodoxy. Is everything you did to me today, which exceeded your authority, orthodoxy?" The emperor was so angry that he didn't think too much and just retorted directly.
Concubine Yu watched the Empress Dowager and the Emperor quarreling and tried to stop them, but it was no use as the quarrel became more and more intense.
"You! You unfilial son! I have tried my best to help you for your world and for the reputation of our royal family, and you actually talk back to me like this!" The Empress Dowager was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She now wanted to slap the Emperor in the face. This son is useless!
"Empress Dowager, you are not trying your best to help me. You are trying your best to get rid of Xiaoyanzi." The emperor's words were really unfair to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager did not mean that at all. If Concubine Yu could agree to Xiaoyanzi marrying Yongqi, she would not care about it. She was old and did not want to care about these things. But Concubine Yu came to bother her every day, and she wanted to have some free time, so she wanted to resolve this matter quickly. As a result, the emperor still thought of her like this, and she was really about to be angry to death.
"I, when did I ever want to get rid of Xiaoyanzi? Yongqi likes her, he can just marry her as a concubine. Isn't her birth enough for a concubine?" The emperor said harsh words, and the Empress Dowager also said harsh words. She was also very angry and was basically led by the emperor.
"Empress Dowager, don't you know that Yongqi is deeply in love with Xiaoyanzi?" The emperor asked directly.
