Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Chapter 273 Miscalculation (Part )
Emperor Qingming went to the Compassion Palace with a sullen face.

The Queen Mother was already having dinner, and four meat dishes, four vegetables and one soup were placed on the table.

She practiced strict economy, and never extravagant and wasteful in daily expenses.She has always complained that the layout of the palace is too luxurious.

Emperor Qingming bowed his hands in greeting.

The Queen Mother greeted him with a smile, "Since you are here, sit down and have dinner with Ai's family."

Emperor Qingming sat across from her, and the palace servants set out the bowls and chopsticks, but he didn't move them.

The queen mother sighed when she saw this, her son was cold-hearted and indifferent to others, and he was not even close to her mother.

This royal family is really indifferent.

"Although Lao Qi is not in the palace, he can still come to accompany Ai's family for dinner from time to time. On the contrary, you can't accompany Ai's family once a year."

Emperor Qingming frowned and said, "Because he often eats with the empress, the empress complied with his request and issued two marriage orders."

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks and her expression faded.

"Their uncles and nephews are not young anymore, it's time to make a marriage. They both make a marriage, so as not to have something like today happen again."

Emperor Qingming said in a deep voice, "Even if they want to be engaged, one of them is the emperor's uncle and the other is the crown prince. For such a big matter, my mother should discuss it with me in advance. What happened today, my mother still doesn't know what I will do You should be more cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to spoil my plan. How can the seventh brother say a few words, and the mother let him lead you away?"

The Queen Mother looked worried, "The Ai family is their queen mother and grandmother, why can't they make a marriage for them? Danyang is dignified and virtuous, and the Ai family has always appointed her to be the princess. You know this, and they never did." I have objected. As for Lao Qi, he married Zhaoping, which can not only break the prince's mind, but also make a conclusion about today's affairs. How could the Ai family be because of what Lao Qi said!"

Emperor Qingming clearly knew what moved his mother to make her act so rashly.

He said coldly, "Mother, do you still remember the auspiciousness that came from the sky when King Jin was born, do you still remember the prophecy made by the Taoist priest at the gate of Dingguogong's mansion, do you still remember the troops in Dingguogong's hands, and the tens of millions in Han Youning's hands?" Family wealth. Are you planning to change your son to be the emperor?"

The Queen Mother didn't understand, now that the world is peaceful, he has held the imperial power firmly in his hands for more than ten years, as stable as Mount Tai, so why would he worry about being taken away by others.

In his heart, everyone is a chaotic party, everyone will covet his throne, right?
She said, "The auspiciousness that day was just a few colorful clouds, which is far-fetched. As for the prophecy, don't you believe it?"

"The Queen Mother wasn't at the scene, so I naturally didn't know the grandeur of the auspiciousness. As for the fate of the Phoenix, I'd rather believe it than not believe it."

The queen mother glanced at the box in the hands of the little eunuch behind him, presumably it contained the decree for the marriage of the prince and Danyang, but it was dismissed.

What he said again, so...

She frowned, "So, you didn't respond to Lao Qi and Zhaoping's marriage proposal?"

Emperor Qingming didn't answer directly, but said in a low voice, "Even if the crown prince doesn't marry, she can't marry anyone else."

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Qingming suspiciously, "She is the daughter of Duke Ding, there is no reason not to marry for the rest of her life, and Duke Ding will not agree."

Emperor Qingming lowered his eyes, "You don't need to worry about the mother."

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, "You don't mean to..."

She looked at her son's pensive gaze, and swallowed the words that followed.

Emperor Qingming stood up, took the casket from the eunuch behind him, and put it on the table, "I'd better discuss with my son what kind of decree the empress will make in the future, so as not to embarrass him. My son has retired."

Emperor Qingming turned around and left.

The queen mother leaned on the back of the chair, looked at her son's tall and heavy back, and murmured, "The Ai family is the most powerless queen mother in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The maid of honor opened the box, and inside was a rich and golden decree.

The maid asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to put away this edict?"

The Queen Mother took out a volume of Yizhi and slowly unfolded it.

Lao Qi still miscalculated, the emperor is strong, and it is difficult to turn around what he decided, so why would he give him a marriage because of some filial piety.

She suddenly fixed her gaze, sat up straight and looked at Yizhi in her hand.
-
Han Youning sat on the low couch, looking out of the window worriedly.

It was already dark, and lanterns were lit in the yard.

Zhao Chengyuan entered the palace after a fight with his father, and he didn't know how he would deal with the emperor.

Hearing what the eldest brother said, it seemed that he was not very optimistic. Zhao Chengyuan seemed to be counting on his father to rescue him in prison.

Father was gearing up and vowed not to owe Zhao Chengyuan's favor for this, and he would definitely return it with interest.

If Zhao Chengyuan really entered the imperial prison, how could he be rescued easily.The princes who entered the imperial prison either died or were imprisoned for more than ten years, and none of them came out alive.

It's been so long since there's been no news, so he won't be locked in, right?

How much face can father have with the emperor?Father was also imprisoned by the emperor and beheaded!
Han Youning turned around abruptly and got off the couch, "Ling'er, take the Yuxiang pills and go out!"

Ling'er came in from the outside and said in surprise, "It will be dark soon, where are you going, miss?"

"Go to Duke Zhong's Mansion!"

As Han Youning spoke, he had already put on his cloak.

Ling'er hurriedly went to get the Yuxiang pills from the cage, and said, "County Nanzhang is not in a hurry to use this for a while, it's the same for slaves to give it away tomorrow."

Han Youning didn't explain to her, took the hand stove filled with charcoal from Qiu Ye, and hurried out.

As soon as he got out of the Chuihua Gate, he saw a eunuch from the palace coming from the meeting hall. He seemed to have just arrived and was talking to his father.

Han Youning's face changed slightly, and he hurried over with his skirt in hand.

Wu Jian glanced at the little girl who was running in a hurry, smiled and said to Han Jun, "Why don't you just say it's fate, before the miscellaneous family asked you to send someone to invite you, the Lord Zhaoping came here by himself."

Han Jun was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with him, so he asked directly, "I heard that King Jin has entered the palace, how is he doing now?"

Wu Jian laughed and said, "Prince Jin is fine, he must have returned to his residence now."

Han Jun was a little surprised that nothing happened, so he didn't need to come to rescue him?
Then how can he return the favor?
"King Jin seriously injured the prince, isn't the emperor angry?"

Wu Jian said with a smile, "Although King Jin's behavior is a bit extreme, it is justifiable. The emperor also came here when he was young, so how can he be blamed?"

Han Jun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, why is it not right to listen to this talk?
He asked, "Why is Manager Wu here?"

Wu Jian raised the tray in his hand and said with a smile, "My lord is infatuated with Zhaoping county magistrate, so the empress dowager and the emperor wanted to fulfill this infatuation and marry the prince and county magistrate. Congratulations to Duke Ding, congratulations to county magistrate gone."

"what?!"
