Interstellar arranged marriage: The big guys rose after being deposed

The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still and hurried over to ask, "Why didn't anyone inform me about your discussion of marriage? Do you think I should pretend to be blind and deaf and not get involved in anything just because I just turned 80?"

The king's face flashed with annoyance, and he caught a glimpse of Xue Zhixin who was wiping tears with her head down. In the past, the Xue family relied on being the empress dowager's family to stir up trouble.

They pressed on step by step, but the king was not yet fully grown at that time, and he agreed to many of their excessive demands, such as making Xue Zhixin the princess.

When he was in power, those demands gradually became a hindrance to him, making it impossible for him to eradicate the Xue family and the forces behind them in a short period of time.

"Mother, we are going to report to you after we have finalized the discussion," the king said with a smile.

The Queen Mother could also sense the alienation and perfunctoriness in his words, but she felt that the King had to save face, and it was difficult for him to reject many things in front of King Honghou and the Queen.

She snorted lightly and ignored him. Instead, she walked to Xue Zhixin lovingly and said, "Little darling, what's wrong with you? If anyone bullied you, tell me and I'll take care of it for you!"

Xue Zhixin raised her head timidly, glanced at King Anxu and Queen who were sitting on the upper floor, pursed her lips and shook her head: "Auntie, no one bullies me. I just couldn't help crying when I thought about getting married and leaving here."

"My dear, I can't bear to leave you. It's so pitiful for a little girl like you to go to a strange place alone...

King, this girl was with you when Princess Mingzhu was lost. It doesn't make sense for you to chase her away after she is found.

What would others think of this? As for the little girl, once she is married off, she is like spilled water. As her uncle and aunt, you can only be kind to her this once.

Prepare a good dowry for her, at least similar to Mingzhu's, right? Whether it's for our face or for the wedding of Honghou Country, it's justifiable..."

No one in the hall spoke except the Queen Mother. After she finished speaking with satisfaction, she frowned and looked at Youli: "King, what do you think?"

King Anxu exclaimed, and looked at her blankly: "What did you say, mother?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned blue. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't play dumb with me. You are the king, can't you be more generous? Why are you as stingy as a miser? Xinxin also wants to marry for the stability and prosperity of our Anxu Kingdom."

The king smiled and said, "That is why we have to make strict arrangements based on the differences between princesses and princesses.

Otherwise, the people of Honghou will laugh at us for not knowing the rules. The standards for princesses and county ladies are different, not to mention that one of them is a princess and the other is a concubine. The standards are not only different, but also too big!"

Listening to his righteous words, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say, otherwise it would seem too deliberate.

The queen smiled and said sympathetically, "Mother, we represent the Anxu Kingdom, and many things are being watched by others. But you are the Queen Mother, Zhiyi's aunt, so you can add some makeup to her when the time comes, and no one will say anything."

Xu Zhiyi's eyes turned slightly, and she nodded and said, "Grandma, when you add makeup to Zhixin, don't forget to give it to me. We are both your granddaughters. I am your biological daughter and she is your cousin. You can't favor one over the other."

You Xiu held her arm and said happily, "Xiao Yi'er, that's great. Your parents and grandma have prepared a dowry for you. This way everyone will know how much your family likes you. There will be no such unruly thing as a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest."

The Queen Mother felt that she could live for several more decades. The older people get, the more greedy they become. No matter how many things they hold in their arms, they always feel that it is not enough.

It's no exaggeration to say that her little treasury is rich enough to rival a country. It's the money she has accumulated for most of her life. She gave out three and wished she could get ten back.

She originally wanted the palace to prepare a dowry for Xue Zhixin, and she would use the excuse of helping to keep it to hold half of it in her arms. She never expected that the palace would only prepare a dowry for Xue Zhixin according to the specifications of a county lady, which was far from a princess.

She doesn't even have enough time to make money herself, how could she really help Xue Zhixin add a generous dowry?

Now Xu Zhiyi was also asking an old woman like her for the coffin money. The Queen Mother's face was very long. Before she could speak, the king tugged at her clothes and smiled at the King of Honghou: "The general matters will be carried out according to our discussion. If there are any additions, I will communicate with you..."

Once King Honghou and the Queen were disconnected, the Queen Mother opened the King's hand and said, "What do you mean? Do you think that I am too old to control you, so what I say has no effect?"

The king said calmly, "Mother, don't you see what kind of occasion this is? It is related to the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries and the exchange and promotion of economic, scientific and technological civilization in the future.

This is not something you do based on your personal preferences, otherwise we would not be making friends with someone, but enemies!"

"If you make Xinxin a princess, won't there be fewer problems?" The Queen Mother said indifferently.

"Mother, you are the Queen Mother of our entire Anxu Kingdom. You should think about the people of Anxu Kingdom, not just Xue Zhixin!

If you feel comfortable living in the countryside, just ask Xue Zhixin for help. ” The king did not indulge her and said coldly.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "King, are you going to drive away the mother who gave birth to you and raised you?"

"Sent to a nursing home," the queen lost her patience. It is said that an old man in the family is like a treasure, and the elders will wholeheartedly plan for their children and grandchildren to avoid disasters.

But their family not only failed to play the role of protection, but also always liked to hold them back.

Although she married into the imperial family, the empress dowager only had her natal family in her heart and was willing to take risks for this.

Now that they haven't found any solid evidence against her, they still worship her as the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager started from a high position. She started as a concubine after entering the palace. Now she thinks she is above everyone else and no one can suppress her. It has been a long time since someone has treated her with such respect.

"Where are you sending me?" The Queen Mother glared at the Queen. The rest home was no less than the cold palace for the old concubines. "How dare you!"

"Mother, you can try," the king said with a smile, "You should know that I always keep my word. I think the Xue family is keeping their tail between their legs now, so they probably can't care about you, right?

Your life is safe, you just moved to a new place. What do you think they will do?"

The Empress Dowager could sit in her current position not only because of the help of the Xue family. If she hadn't had any calculations, she would have been eaten by someone long ago.

She was partial to her mother's family, but she also knew rationally that if she was locked up in a nursing home, the Xue family would never help.

For a moment, she felt cold all over. She no longer thought about getting back at Xue Zhixin. She just made an excuse of having a headache and left in a hurry.

Without a backer, Xue Zhixin clenched her fists, feeling embarrassed.

You Jing looked indifferent, said a few polite words and left.

Xue Zhixin looked at the king and queen pleadingly, "Uncle, aunt, I am marrying Brother Jing as a concubine, which is also considered a marriage of alliance. I represent our Anxu Kingdom, so I can't make it look too ugly, right?"

"Yes," the queen smiled, "so your princess will marry King Jing as a concubine according to the rules."

Xue Zhixin knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. She could only bow hastily and turn away, not forgetting to glare at Xu Zhiyi. It was all Xu Zhiyi's fault. It was lost, so how could it be found?

If Xu Zhiyi was not there, she would be the most glorious princess in Anxu Kingdom!

"Yiyi, don't worry, you are the only princess of our Anxu Kingdom, no one can surpass you!" The queen was still a little angry at the moment. "The Xue family really thinks they are the local emperors. A girl who became a princess with the help of her father, brother and aunt dares to challenge us. Oh, don't worry, without our support, even if she marries, she will only be an ordinary concubine."

A concubine who is of no use will soon make way for others.

You Xiu held Xu Zhiyi's hand and said with a smile, "Aunt, don't worry, we will definitely treat Xiao Yi'er well. Although I have no interest in that position, they can't expect to be better than us.

Without this ability, I would not have revealed the fact that I could stand up.”

He is now fully grown. He doesn't like being constrained. Everyone is vying for that position, but he just wants to be a wealthy and idle king.

The queen smiled and nodded repeatedly: "We said before that if you don't live well in Honghou Kingdom, you can move to Anxu Kingdom.

You are young, but you all look capable. We are just interested in this girl, she chose you, and you four should live a good life in the future. You should know that marriage is about what you sow.

There are many temptations out there, but they are only temporary. Once you take a wrong step, there will be no turning back in your life..."

Qiu Ze and the others nodded solemnly. They did not make any promises. After all, no matter how good their words were, it would be better for them to take actual actions.

Xu Zhiyi looked at the three fiancés beside her, then at the king, queen and prince, who were the most important relatives in her life.
