Chapter 643: Father and Son, the Marquis, Both Have No Face
Emperor Hongde looked at Xiao Jingyi in front of him, looking at his only nephew...
This nephew... is a little interesting today!
Emperor Hong De thought:
I let you learn and gain experience in the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ministry of Revenue has something going on. You can make a report if you have the book to report it. Why do you have to bring up what happened at the court yesterday...
Are you afraid that some people have forgotten, so you want to remind them?
Or... are you helping them... to force me and Yu'er to make our stance clear as soon as possible?
Or... you want to see the fun between my father and me... and hope that the world will not be in chaos?
Whether Yuer and Rongyue’s marriage is cancelled or not... do you care about it?
Emperor Hong De opened the piece of paper in his hand and took a look...
There is no name of Zhang Miaotong.
It would be strange if there weren’t any!
Zhang Miaotong is the youngest daughter of Zhang Jinyan, the second assistant of the cabinet.
She has been obsessed with her own Yu'er for a long time, and she once swore that she would not marry anyone other than Prince Yu!
This has almost become Zhang Miaotong's obsession, and it is an obsession that is not concealed at all!
Almost everyone in the capital city knows about it!
The cabinet's deputy minister Zhang Jinyan never stopped it and even took a laissez-faire attitude.
It was obvious that Zhang Miaotong's reputation was at stake...
At the same time, it was also a disguised way of putting pressure on himself as the emperor.
That was why he wrote the imperial decree granting marriage while drunk at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in front of all the civil and military officials and their wives.
It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, it's just to leave some people with the last bit of face.
As Zhang Miaotong's elder brother-in-law, his nephew had spoken up for his sister-in-law many times, both openly and secretly.
He even praised Zhang Miaotong's beauty and talent to the heavens and the earth in front of Yu'er...
Unfortunately, in the end, all it got was Yu'er's bland remark:
"Since that Tong is so good in my cousin's eyes, just keep her for yourself!
My cousins' backyards are already full of flowers, birds, fish and insects, so it doesn't matter if they have one more.
Let her and her cousin-in-law emulate Ehuang and Nvying, two sisters serving the same husband, wouldn't that be even more... wonderful?"
According to Zhang Miaotong's determination to get Yu'er, she should be the first one to be involved in this trip to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain.
But she was not among the group of girls who came to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain this time...
It seems like this... haha... it becomes more interesting!
Emperor Hongde remembered that just after Leng Rongyue had given Marquis Qinxing Leng Xian the "truth-telling powder", he had confessed all his crimes in the Golden Palace. On that afternoon, Xiao Jingyi took the opportunity of entering the palace to pay his respects to the imperial aunt and mentioned again in a vague way that Leng Rongyue, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing, seemed no longer suitable to be Prince Yu's principal wife as the daughter of a criminal.
Keeping this marriage would be an injustice to Yu'er;
We should choose a suitable young lady to be Yu'er's principal wife.
At worst, I can take Leng Rongyue into my house as a concubine.
For the daughter of a criminal, being the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Yu was not considered a humiliation to her.
At that time, Aying said:
Qinxinghou Lengxian is Qinxinghou Lengxian, and Leng Rongyue is Leng Rongyue.
There is no need to talk about Leng Rongyue and his unscrupulous father together.
Since then, Xiao Jingyi never mentioned this matter again.
However, this time, so many young ladies flocked to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain, but Zhang Miaotong was not among them...
If you say that Zhang Miaotong has given up her obsession with Yu'er...
I won't believe it anyway.
All I can say is...
Zhang Miaotong is also good:
Zhang Miaotong's father, the cabinet's deputy minister Zhang Jinyan, is also good;
Zhang Miaotong's brother-in-law and her good nephew Xiao Jingyi are all making more far-reaching plans...
Not only did they not give up the idea, but... they were determined to win!
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongde narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at his nephew, and said slowly: "Leave it here. I will think about it carefully and make a decision later!"
"Yes, I obey your order!"
Xiao Jingyi bowed deeply to Emperor Hongde and returned to the literature class.
Without further discussion of the memorial submitted by Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi, nor did he follow up on Xiao Jingyi's mention of "yesterday's morning court", and Emperor Hongde remained silent again.
There was deathly silence above the Golden Palace again.
Someone is anxious!
Someone is suffering!
People who have something on their mind are really anxious and upset!
They really can't hold their temper anymore!
As the saying goes, opportunity is fleeting and lost!
If the previous imperial decree of marriage cannot be revoked within these two days...
When Duke Anguo and his son returned to the capital and attended court...
If they, father and son, tried their best to protect Leng Rongyue, and insisted that Leng Rongyue was no longer Leng Xian's daughter, but would only be the granddaughter of Anguogong Fu Peng...
They really didn't dare to insist that Leng Rongyue was the daughter of a criminal in front of Duke Anguo and his son!
After all, the retired emperor and Duke Anguo Fu Peng were brothers when they were young.
The two of them rode side by side across the battlefield;
Fight against strong enemies back to back.
It can be said that without the Duke of Anguo Fu Peng, there would be no emperor emeritus, let alone these descendants!
The two of them have a life-long friendship.
Today, Emperor Hongde has absolute trust in Duke Anguo Fu Peng, and at the same time he has respect for his elders.
Why did Emperor Hongde issue the imperial decree to grant marriage...
Is it because of Qinxing Hou Leng Xian's face?
If so, that would be a huge joke!
It is clear that Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian has a despicable character, so how much is his face worth in the eyes of Emperor Hongde?
Not to mention him, even his father, the Marquis of Qinxing from the previous generation, doesn't have that much face.
