The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

Prime Minister Hua was very happy. He had originally thought that this was a good marriage. He knew Prince Hong's situation very well, and he was even more aware of the Emperor's feelings for Prince Hong. He had felt uncomfortable before because he had let the fake one get away with it, but now that she was his own real daughter, his happiness was particularly prominent.

After giving Debao a big bag of silver as a reward and sending Debao's father-in-law away, the family breathed a sigh of relief. Hua Hongming angrily pulled his sister and said to his father, "Dad, this marriage can't happen. My sister can't marry a fool."

"Nonsense, that is an imperial decree, do you want our family to disobey it?" The Prime Minister scolded his son angrily and turned away happily. The silly boy was eager to protect his sister, but how could he explain the twists and turns to him?

"Imperial edict, imperial edict. My sister has been sent to Shuiyue Temple since she was ten years old. She has never shown her face in public since she was a child. If she hadn't been trying to curry favor with the royal family, who would have known that there is a young lady in our family?" Hua Hong was very angry. His sister had suffered so much since she was a child. She finally came home, but ended up becoming a tool for currying favor with the royal family. He would never agree to this marriage with his own sister who was born of the same mother.

"You, you unfilial son, are you going to disobey your elders and go against the emperor's will?" Prime Minister Hua turned back to look at his son, pointed at his nose and said, "You are already twenty years old, but you still don't know how to take your words lightly. You haven't suffered enough."

"Second brother, stop talking. Look how angry father is." Hua Hongyan stopped his brother in time and pulled them both to Liushuang Courtyard.

Hua Xiyu pinched Hua Hongming's wrist, signaling him to be quiet and not stand up for her.

Hua Hongming received a hint from his sister and seeing that his father was really angry, he shut up.

When they arrived at Liushuang Courtyard, Hua Hongyan explained to his younger brother and sister, "I overheard some of the conversation between father and mother. My sister's marriage was not arranged by father."

It all started a few months ago when Crown Prince Liu Jingyu turned eighteen years old. That day in the palace was no different from the previous days. The sun rose as usual and the wind was as humid and hot as usual. This cycle repeated itself month after month and year after year, and the drama of women competing for favor had reached a balance point.

The emperor is already in his 50s, and his interest in women is no longer as strong as when he was young. There have been no new people in the palace for many years. The emperor does not favor anyone in particular, nor is he particularly cold to anyone.

He has learned to move among these women with ease, never letting anyone suffer too much injustice, nor allowing anyone to enjoy too much honor and favor. He knows very well that the fate of Concubine Ming was caused by his excessive pampering.

However, this day was different from the previous ones, because on this day the Queen summoned the Prime Minister's wife and told her that the royal family wanted to select a concubine for the Crown Prince, and the Queen had chosen Hua Jiayi, the Prime Minister's daughter.

When Mrs. Hua heard the news, she was so shocked that she couldn't react for a moment: "Empress, you are saying, you are saying, my Jiayi..."

The Queen smiled, and expressed satisfaction at her expected shock: "Yes, the Crown Prince is already eighteen years old, it's time to choose a Crown Princess. The Ministry of Rites has sent portraits of several young ladies, and after choosing and choosing, Jiayi is still the one that suits me the most." The Queen spoke calmly, as if she were choosing a piece of cloth to make clothes. This piece has the brightest color and suits me best, so she was chosen.

"Send Jiayi's birth certificate to the palace as soon as possible. Wait until the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has matched their horoscopes. If there is no abnormality, the Emperor will issue an edict to grant their marriage." The Queen was in a very good mood. Her son had grown up. From the ten months of pregnancy to his babbling, from a toddler to a handsome and charming young man, every step of his growth had been filled with all his mother's love. She hoped for him to marry a wife and have children, day by day, year by year, and she could not let go completely until she passed away.

Liang Yuejiao left the palace happily, and the sedan chair swayed as she went home, swaying to the rhythm of Jiaofu's music. She was thinking about the bright future of the Hua family and Jiayi's bright future. She was now the Crown Princess and would be the Queen in the future. As the Queen's biological mother, that honor was the first of its kind in the capital, and everyone would curry favor with her.

When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. Thinking of the prosperous days of the Hua and Liang families, Liang Yuejiao's face was filled with so many smiles that she couldn't stop smiling, and her face became frozen.

My brother's official position will be promoted, and my nephews and nieces from my mother's side will also be able to find good marriages. Of course, the Hua family will benefit the most. The master will be conferred the title of Marquis, maybe even a Duke. The second master of the Hua family who has been exiled should be able to return to Beijing, and the positions of the third and fourth masters will naturally be promoted. Although I don't want them to benefit, I can't stop them.

Thinking of Jiayi again, there will be a lot of concubines and beauties in the East Palace in the future, I am afraid Jiayi will find it difficult to deal with them, from now on I have to teach her some tricks. I have to find some trustworthy helpers for Jiayi, my own people are the best choice, Ziqi and Ziying from the second room can be married as concubines, thinking about it and shaking my head, these two are stronger than Jiayi, I am afraid they will bring wolves into the house and harm Jiayi in the end, oh, if only she was as foolish as Qianyu and easy to control.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hua suddenly shuddered. How could she have forgotten Hua Qianyu? Should she tell the Queen about her stay at Shuiyue Temple?

Liang Yuejiao was struggling in her clothes for a long time. If she wanted to tell the truth, she was really reluctant to do so. Besides being embarrassed, she was also afraid of having a bad reputation and affecting Jiayi. If she didn't tell the truth, it would be considered as deceiving the emperor if it was exposed one day. Thinking about the consequences of deceiving the emperor, Madam Hua couldn't help but shudder in the June sky.

"Stop the sedan chair." She decisively asked Jiao Fu to stop, then turned around and went back to the Queen's Palace.

After seeing off Madam Hua, the Queen went to the Imperial Garden with the help of her maids, and Liang was led directly to the garden.

Sitting in the pavilion, the queen was a little unhappy, but she couldn't get angry, so she listened to her patiently.

"Your Majesty, I...I..." Liang Yuejiao stammered for a long time but didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Mrs. Hua, just tell me what you want to say." Her tone was obviously a little impatient.

Liang instinctively wanted to retreat, but he was already in the fire and it was impossible to retreat.

"Your Majesty, Jiayi..." I still didn't know how to start.

"Madam Hua, you have difficulties..." The unhappiness on the queen's face became more and more prominent. The royal family has given you such a great favor, are you going to refuse it?

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I dare not hide anything. It is a blessing for the Hua family to have chosen my daughter Jiayi. However, the Hua family still has an eldest daughter living in Shuiyue Temple..." Liang's voice became weaker and weaker until it could no longer be heard. She glanced at the Queen with eyes full of expectant tears. The Queen was left to figure out what to say next.

If this great grace from the royal family were to be shattered because of an abandoned girl, the man would be in pain for the rest of his life. Wouldn't it be better if a woman proposed this?

"Shuiyue Temple?" The queen was also surprised. Her originally displeased eyes suddenly became sharp and shot straight at Liang like a knife.

"Why have I never heard of the eldest daughter of the Hua family before?" The queen looked at Mrs. Hua who was sitting below her in confusion.

"The eldest daughter is not my wife's, but my stepdaughter. She has been weak and sickly since childhood, and was sent to Shuiyue Temple for recuperation at the age of ten. I planned to bring her back last year, but something happened and I have been delayed until now." Although he was trembling with fear, it was hard to tell whether he was excited or frightened.

"No wonder. How old is this eldest daughter? Is her illness cured? Is she married?" the queen asked again.

"She is now over 20 years old and should be in good health, but she is still unmarried." What could Mrs. Hua say? She said that no one had visited her in the past ten years, and that everyone in the Washington Palace had forgotten her. She couldn't say that.

The Queen knew what Shuiyue Temple was, and what kind of person the woman sent there was. She knew what Mrs. Hua was not in a position to say. But even if she was a fool, she was still the daughter of the Hua family. As long as she was not dead, foolish, or a nun, she had to be arranged a marriage for her, which made her feel embarrassed.

The Crown Princess must have a clean background without any flaws, and must not leave any evidence that could be used to attack the Crown Prince.

She is twenty years old and still hasn't found a marriageable man. Who would be willing to marry her? She has looked through all the sons of princes and ministers, but couldn't find a suitable candidate. Even if there was a suitable candidate, he might not be willing to marry her.

At the age of 20, she was definitely an older leftover woman. It was possible for her to be a second wife, but that would be a loss of face for the Crown Princess. Even if the Emperor granted the marriage, it had to be consensual, right? Unless...

She suddenly thought of Liu Jingcheng. Isn't he also a fool? No matter whether you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid, since you are both fools, then let them be a stupid couple. The age is suitable, so no one should look down on anyone, and it will also save harm to others.

Everyone in the court knew that Liu Jingcheng was a fool, but not many people knew that the eldest daughter of the Hua family was a fool. After all, matters concerning the women in the inner courtyard were seldom spread outside, and many of the girls sent to Shuiyue Temple were sickly and weak. Being sick and weak was a sign of bad luck, and it was not shameful.

So the two sisters married the two brothers, good things come in pairs, and everything was solved.

Liang Yuejiao returned home happily and couldn't wait to tell her husband the good news. Upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Hua was very angry. He had been married for more than ten years and had never been so angry with his wife:

"Aren't the wealth and glory of the Prime Minister's Mansion enough to satisfy you? You need to curry favor with the royal family. Who told you to mention Shuiyue Temple? Who told you to decide Hua Xiyu's marriage without authorization? You are not her biological mother, so why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

That day, the couple had a big quarrel in the house. Hua Hongyan, who came outside to discuss matters with his father, heard the whole process and understood the whole story from the quarrel.

Hua Hongyan told his brothers and sisters what happened that day, hoping that they would not blame their father too much. Finally, he said, "Prince Hong is not a fool. He just has some difficulties that he has to face."

"Brother, you said that Prince Xuan was pretending to be stupid." Hua Hongming immediately grasped the key point. He had no reaction to what his brother had said before. No matter whose idea it was, the result was that his sister was going to marry a fool, and he was unhappy.

Now that he heard his brother say that Prince Hong was not necessarily a fool, he immediately became excited and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

How could Hua Hongyan explain such speculation to him clearly? Especially since it concerned the royal family, he could not talk nonsense.

"Okay, okay, you all go back. I want to rest." Hua Xiyu had always been curious about why she and Prince Hong were linked together. After hearing what Hua Hongyan said, it was not surprising. Both of them were stepmothers. In ancient times when resources were scarce, good things had to be reserved for one's own children.

But as the queen of a country, she actually plays such petty and shameless games. No wonder the emperor doesn't like her.

There is nothing wrong with thinking about yourself, but it is wrong to harm others.

Prime Minister Rihua got angry that day because the shame that he had already forgotten was dug up again, and he was very angry.

After venting his anger, he slowly calmed down. Now that the matter had been exposed, he had no choice but to deal with it.

Although it was said that Prince Xuan was a fool, he might not be really stupid according to his observation. Even if he was really stupid, he was still a prince. Having a prince as a son-in-law would always have more advantages than disadvantages. So he sent Butler Xu to Shuiyue Temple to pick him up.

On the one hand, Prime Minister Hua did not dare to disobey the order and reluctantly accepted the fact that being the prince's father-in-law was a face-saving thing. On the other hand, he felt that his biological daughter was missing, and he wondered how that fake girl could have such a good marriage. So after Hua Xiyu jumped into the river, he felt that even God was helping him and solving his biggest worry.
