The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are cheating

When Yue Lin and Jiang Zhimiao arrived.

Concubine You and Yue Xi were already waiting at the door.

Yue Lin exempted the two from formalities and naturally entered the hall and sat in the main seat.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager." Concubine You couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you inform us in advance when you came to Chaofang Palace? I'm so..."

"Empress Dowager You." Yue Lin interrupted her directly: "This is the imperial palace. It is natural for me to come to visit my unmarried sister. There is nothing to report."

Tiffany You's expression changed slightly.

She has more to say.

Yue Lin's eyes flashed with a meaningful look: "It's Concubine You. My fourth brother has already built a mansion outside, and the Concubine has long followed my fourth brother out of the palace for retirement. Why did I hear that the Concubine went to the palace very frequently? Is it because my fourth brother is unfilial that the Concubine is unhappy?"

Concubine You's expression suddenly changed, and she knelt down subconsciously: "No, no, no, Yuechen is a good child, he has always been the most filial."

Yue Lin was about to accuse the Fourth Prince of being unfilial.

This title cannot be confirmed.

Otherwise, Yuechen would have a hard time getting along in the court in the future.

How could Toffee You not be terrified?

"Really?" Yue Lin raised an eyebrow: "He is not unfilial? He didn't make you unhappy?"

Concubine You's face turned pale: "Really not."

She quickly explained, "I have been going to the palace more frequently recently. It's not for any other reason, but because my daughter has reached marriageable age, so the Queen Mother and I want to find some good families for her."

"Really?" Yue Lin asked, "The Concubine Dowager and the Queen Mother have been watching for so long, they should have an idea. I wonder who you have chosen."

This answer.

They already know what's going on, but they still have to go through the process.

Concubine You gave Yue Xi a threatening look, then said, "Zhang Ziping, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, is a good match for the princess."

Toffee You still said it.

Yue Lin couldn't help but reveal a half-smile: "Zhang Ziping? I heard some interesting rumors."

"As a man, it's normal for him to be frivolous sometimes when he's young. This is not a big deal. With Xi'er's character and appearance, she will naturally win Zhang Ziping's heart after marriage."

Concubine You gritted her teeth and simply asked for permission: "Yi'er and Zhang Ziping are a match made in heaven. Please grant your permission for their marriage and make them a couple."

Yue Xi glanced at Concubine You numbly.

She refused so firmly.

But in the concubine's heart, her personal wishes seemed to be unimportant from beginning to end.

"Really?" Yue Lin looked at Yue Wei: "Wei'er, are you willing to this marriage?"

"Your Majesty! Matters of marriage have always been decided by parents. The princess is young, so there is no need to ask her such questions. As her mother, I can make the decision for her." Concubine You said first.

Yue Lin's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said sternly: "Empress Dowager You! What you said is interesting! The eldest daughter of the late emperor, Princess Changping, married to Lingnan five years ago. In recent years, she and the King of Lingnan have not only lived in harmony, but also quelled the war and made great contributions to the stability of the southern part of Dayong! If according to Empress Dowager You's opinion, the marriage of the royal princess should be completely decided by the birth mother, then shouldn't Princess Changping's birth mother, Concubine Xiao, have spoken?"

Concubine You was stunned for a moment: "That's not what I meant. And...and how are Xi'er and Princess Changping the same? Now that the world is at peace, Xi'er doesn't need to bear such a heavy responsibility."

Yue Lin said calmly: "Yes, now that the world is at peace, the princess no longer needs to bear such a heavy responsibility. In this case, why can't my sister choose someone she really likes?"

Yue Xi's eyes turned slightly red.

She couldn't have imagined it.

The royal brother whom she feared the most in her heart, at this moment, became her strongest support.

Yue Xi lowered her head and trembled as she said, "Brother, if Dayong needs you, I will let you decide my sister's marriage. But marrying Zhang Ziping is not something I can achieve."

Yue Xi said word by word: "I don't want to marry such a man!"

Yue Lin looked at Yue Xi calmly, and his sharp brows softened slightly.

It was only at this moment that his sister finally became herself.

He said calmly: "Most of the benefits of the world are obtained by men. The responsibilities of the world should naturally be borne by men. I was powerless to change my eldest sister's affairs. But in the future, the princess's marriage will not be sacrificed casually, because I will not allow it."

Yue Lin said.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but look at him.

There was a faint light in her eyes.

[Is this the tyrant that Long Aotian keeps talking about? If it weren't for that headache, Yue Lin... would have been a good emperor. ]

The corners of Yue Lin's mouth rose slightly.

What a fool the queen was. Why was she secretly praising him in her heart?

He tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Yue Xi, tell me for the last time, are you willing or not for this marriage?"

Yue Xi had no time to hesitate, she said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty...I don't want to!"

After saying it once.

After that, everything went smoothly.

She is a human being, not a puppet.

Although her royal brother said that she didn't need to sacrifice herself, she would be willing to sacrifice herself if it was for the sake of the country and the family.

Can I marry Zhang Ziping?

What kind of national and family affair is this!

It's just a little selfishness of the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager!

Yue Lin looked at Concubine You: "Did you hear that? Yue Xi doesn't want to, Zhang Ziping's behavior is absurd, and he is not worthy of Xi'er. This marriage is over. The Queen and the Queen Mother will discuss Yue Xi's marriage. You are just a concubine, and it is not your turn to decide the marriage of the royal princess. In the future, don't enter the palace easily, otherwise, if outsiders suspect that the Fourth Prince did not take good care of you, I am afraid it will damage the Fourth Prince's reputation."

Tiffany You looked unhappy, and she wanted to say something else.

Yue Lin said: "It's getting late, the Concubine should leave the palace early."

Toffee You had no choice but to stand up reluctantly.

She glared at Yue Xi fiercely.

Her daughter is so ignorant!

If Yue Xi hadn't insisted on making a fuss, Yue Lin would not have been able to interfere in this matter at all.

She should leave the palace first and then make plans slowly.

Wait for Toffee You to leave.

Jiang Zhimiao personally helped Yue Wei up.

She had long noticed that there was something wrong with Yue Xi's expression when she was kneeling.

When he helped her up, he saw that she was staggering a little, and couldn't help asking, "Your knees..."

"I knelt in Shou'an Palace for a while." Yue Wei said lightly, and then said softly: "Thank you, my brother and my wife."

"You are determined enough." Yue Lin said calmly, "I arranged the matter of Zhang Ziping in advance so that you could witness it with your own eyes. Your fourth brother is close to An Hewang, and I don't want their alliance to be further consolidated. Saving you from the fire pit is just a side job. If you don't know how to resist, I can't do anything."

Yue Lin's words were very straightforward.

Yue Xi smiled, and she looked at Jiang Zhimiao coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, my brother is just like that. Even if he has done something good, he always speaks in a cold tone, which makes people feel depressed. I don't know how you can endure it."

Yue Lin's expression stiffened for a moment.
