Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder
Chapter 227 The Queen Mother of Bloody Literature 9
Only then did Li discover the existence of Prince Jin, but she had no intention of restraining herself. Instead, she wanted to drag Prince Jin along to judge the case.
The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty cast a look of help. He did not want to reason with Li, and there was no way to comment on this matter. In every family, the mistress of the house was in charge of the power of the harem. Although the royal family was the least particular, Ye Shi had the power of reason, law and justice. It was not wrong for her to want the power of management of the harem.
The emperor ignored the look in the eyes of the King of Jin. He would rather die than let his friend die. It was a good thing to have the King of Jin share the firepower. The main thing was that he did not dare to stand up and oppose. If he dared to say that something was wrong, the great scholars in the court and the public would teach him a lesson.
Li didn't expect that what she said was all nonsense. She didn't care what the emperor thought. She just couldn't bear any loss. What else could the emperor do? He could only coax his mother not to make trouble at this critical moment. It was just a matter of money. He would subsidize it from the inner treasury.
The emperor was quite rich. The previous emperor's private treasury was all left to him. In addition, he had not married in recent years and had not kept numerous concubines, so the accumulated wealth was not small. Not to mention one Li, there would be no problem with another Li. He did not give money before because he did not want to fatten up the Li family.
Li was still not satisfied after getting the money, but the emperor's son begged her to be quiet for a few days, so she endured it temporarily and waited to see if the emperor had any big moves. If not, she would go to Ye Zhiqiu to settle the score. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and she couldn't endure it for ten years, but it would be fine to endure it for a year or two.
The emperor sent Li away before continuing to talk to Prince Jin about the previous topic: "Uncle, please state your conditions?"
The King of Jin slowly hinted, "Your Majesty, I only have one daughter, and your cousin is not very good either, so she only gave birth to a daughter. I am old, and I am worried that my granddaughter will not have a good life in the future. I don't know whether her future husband's family will treat her well. What if they despise her for not being able to give birth to a son? Your cousin was able to suppress her husband's family and rely on me, but my granddaughter has no one to rely on..."
His daughter was a princess, and she had a princess mansion. Although it was not as large as the princess mansion, she could run her own mansion and avoid the hardship of getting along with her husband's family. Even if his daughter only gave birth to a granddaughter, with him watching over her, the son-in-law and his family would not dare to complain, or if they did, they would have to keep it to themselves, not even in their dreams.
The granddaughter is not so lucky. She has no title, and he cannot take care of her for the rest of her life when she is old. But because she has lived in the princess's mansion since she was a child, she is not close to her cousins from her father's family, and there is no one from her mother's family. What should she do in the future?
Prince Jin also had some talent in acting. When he thought of his granddaughter's pitiful situation, he shed a few tears. Even a heartless person would shed tears of sympathy when seeing this.
The emperor understood and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to grant you a marriage?"
The King of Jin's hand trembled and he accidentally tore off a strand of his beard. What was the point of granting a marriage? Did he not make it clear? He said nothing and gave the Emperor a look that told him to figure it out for himself.
The emperor also understood that he was not satisfied because he didn't say anything. If he didn't want a marriage, then what did he want? He wouldn't let him grant a title. There was no precedent for this. The daughter of a county lord was just an ordinary person, and the daughter of a princess only had a county lady title, let alone a county lord.
The Prince of Jin was dissatisfied. The prince's granddaughter was a county lady from the day she was born, so why did his granddaughter-in-law only have the lowly title of a county lady? What's the use of this title? It can only appease the country bumpkins. Who in the capital would respect it?
The emperor was unhappy. The prince's granddaughter was his own, but the princess's daughter was from another family. How could they be the same? If he dared to confer the title of Princess to the granddaughter of the Prince of Jin, a bunch of his aunts and sisters would come to the palace to ask him for the title tomorrow.
The emperor didn't want to cause trouble for himself, but the Prince of Jin didn't want to either. Could his family be in the same situation? He had no sons, and the huge Prince of Jin's Mansion would definitely be taken back by the royal family after he died. It was unknown which son of the emperor would get the chance.
Considering the huge Jin Palace, the emperor would not lose out if he gave her the title of a princess. He even dared to compare her with other princes and princesses. They gave birth to more than one child. Each of them was more fertile than a sow. They gave birth to a bunch of children with titles. He only gave birth to one child. He could save thousands of taels of silver in a year. I don't know how much money he could save in more than ten years.
The emperor was speechless after being confronted by Prince Jin and wanted to resist again, but Prince Jin got annoyed and made his attitude clear. He told the emperor not to look for him anymore in the future, no matter what, and only if he was willing could they continue to discuss other things.
He was a man without a son, and he couldn't even fulfill this small wish, so why would he care about other things? The court was in chaos, and it was his own country that was in chaos, and it was none of his business. He only cared about enjoying himself during his lifetime, and even if there was a flood after his death, he would not be scolded. It was not him who sat on the throne, so it was not him who should be scolded.
The emperor really had no good solution when facing the bad Prince of Jin. After thinking about it, he could only find a reason. He was willing but was afraid that the empress dowager would object. The imperial edict also had to be stamped with the phoenix seals of the two palaces.
The King of Jin was speechless. He just wanted to give his granddaughter a title. If he could get other people to agree, why would he negotiate with the emperor? Wouldn't it be easier to talk to the empress dowager directly? One was the emperor's stepmother, and the other was the emperor's biological mother. He had to find a way to convince her. If he couldn't convince her, don't blame him for not agreeing to make Liu the empress.
The emperor asked An Dahai to consult the two Empress Dowagers, determined to pass the blame on to Prince Jin.
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a second when she heard An Dehai's message, but she quickly reacted. No matter what Prince Jin and the Emperor meant, as long as it did not harm her interests, she would agree.
The great leader once said that the more friends we have, the fewer enemies we have. Our goal is to make more friends and fewer enemies.
An Dahai knew the emperor's little thoughts. Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu agreed without thinking, he secretly hoped that Empress Dowager Li would not agree, otherwise he would be scolded again when he returned.
Li was different from Ye Zhiqiu. She didn't want to listen halfway through. Why could the granddaughter of the King of Jin be given the title of Princess? She had always wanted to give her niece the title of Princess, but it had never come true. She disagreed.
When An Dehai was about to happily go back to report the news, Li's niece stopped her and persuaded her to accept it. It was just a title of a princess, and women could not be officials. The title would only add a few thousand taels of silver a year, which would have no impact on the Li family.
Li was still not happy in her heart, but her niece had also been spoiled since she was a child, and the time they spent together was longer than the time the mother and son spent together. In Li's heart, her niece was considerate and would always side with her, unlike the emperor's son, who would always make her angry, so she was willing to listen to her niece's advice.
In front of An Dahai, the Sixth Miss Li did not tell the reason. She wanted to wait until he left to divide the Li family. There was no benefit in offending King Jin. Everyone in Renshou Palace agreed that there was no need for them to be the bad guys. There were ministers in the court who would oppose it.
Li thought of the group of old-fashioned people in the court, nodded and praised her niece for being smarter than her, saying that young people just think quickly.
An Dahai didn't expect Miss Li to interfere, but as a servant, he didn't dare to say anything even if he was dissatisfied with Miss Li. With the protection of Empress Dowager Li and the emperor also liked this cousin very much, he couldn't escape the scolding.
