The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 786: What Did the Princess Set an Example for?

The emperor frowned: "Gu Jingzhe?"

Why does the name sound so familiar?

Lu Zhaoyang stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Jingzhe is the youngest son of Suifeng Xiangjun and also my brother-in-law."

The emperor looked very unhappy.

It was embarrassing enough for a royal princess to fall in love with a married man, let alone the brother-in-law of a court official whom she trusted.

This really hurt the court officials' feelings.

The emperor said coldly: "Asshole."

Prince Yu was so frightened that he kowtowed to the Emperor.

Lu Zhaoyang looked normal, as if he was reporting that the weather was good today.

The censor guessed the emperor's expression and began to perform, saying, "Prince Yu refused to say it just now, but he also knew that it was insulting for the princess to fall in love with a married man. I heard that Princess Mingyue was not just in love with him, but she came to the door to block him, asking Master Gu to divorce his innocent wife. Master Gu refused, but she still pestered him. She just came back from Longhua Temple a few days ago and went to the Imperial College to block him again."

"Not only that, the princess also blocked Lord Lu's sister and bullied her into leaving the palace. Royal princesses should be role models for women all over the world. May I ask, Your Highness Prince Yu, what role model has Princess Mingyue set?"

"The Imperial Concubine issued the Royal Women's Code in the spring of the year before last, but Princess Mingyue ignored it. But all this is inseparable from your indulgence, Prince Yu."

These words made Prince Yu sweat.

The emperor was touched by his worries.

After the results of the imperial examination were announced the year before last, the princess took a fancy to Lu Zhaoyang.

Just like Princess Mingyue, she also went up to get involved.

Even though Lu Zhaoyang clearly stated that he was married, she kidnapped him and forced him to agree to divorce her.

The matter was brought to the Golden Palace.

Since their deaths, the Emperor has not appointed a queen, so he ordered the noble lady to teach Princess Jing'an. In order to prevent similar incidents that would damage the royal family's reputation from happening, the noble concubine ordered the compilation of the Royal Women's Code for the concubines, princesses, counties, and imperial concubines to copy and memorize.

Princess Mingyue's harassment of Gu Jingzhe reminded the emperor of the farce involving Princess Jing'an.

That farce trampled on the royal family's reputation.

He did not choose a woman from the royal family to be the princess, but instead married Princess Jing'an to the King of Mobei. A big reason for this was that everyone knew about Princess Jing'an's kidnapping of the married top scholar.

Now Princess Mingyue has done this again.

She could like anyone else, but she fell in love with Gu Jingzhe, the son of Suifeng Xiangjun.

Suifeng Xiangjun raised the crown prince, and in a broad sense, she made great contributions to the country. However, the royal daughter wanted to break up the marriage of the son of a meritorious person. If this were made public, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the royal family?

If this gets out, what will the people of Shengjing say?

It is said that the women in the royal family have no propriety, righteousness, or integrity.

A princess competes for the top scholar, and a county lady competes for the top scholar's brother-in-law.

Shame!

What a shame!

The emperor's eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder. He said to Prince Yu, "Xiyue should really settle down. I will ask the imperial concubine to choose a suitable husband for her in the next few days. She is so impulsive. If she continues to act like this after getting married, she will suffer. How about this, let Xiyue live in the palace today to learn etiquette, and her wedding will also be arranged from the palace."

Prince Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The emperor is afraid of this and that, what kind of husband can he choose for Xiyue?

If he chooses the prince of a small country, or needs to win over a vassal king of a different surname on the border, Xiyue will have to leave Shengjing, and it is unknown whether they will meet again in this life.

But Prince Yu’s Mansion could only agree with a smile.

Prince Yu felt a little regretful for raising his daughter to have such a spoiled personality.

What's more, he regretted not punishing her or locking her up at home when she left Longhua Temple to go to Dugu Jingzhe.

However, Prince Yu hated Su Shihang more.

If he hadn't had the idea of marrying his own daughter, his ignorant mother who couldn't read a single word wouldn't have gone to Prince Yu's mansion to propose marriage, and the censor's impeachment and the scandal of Zhao Xiyue would not have been exposed.

Su Shihang had no way to defend himself and got angry at his mother for the first time since leaving court.

In the past, when Old Lady Su bullied Min Baozhen and treated Lu harshly, Su Shihang always thought it was their fault.

His mother is the most kind-hearted and loving mother in the world. Whenever she does something out of line, it is because others are not considerate enough of her.

Now the Su family has offended the Lin family and made the Prince Yu's Mansion an enemy. All of this is caused by Old Madam Su's selfishness and willfulness.

You will feel the pain when a knife hits your head.

Su Shihang began to re-examine his old mother.

I found my old mother stubborn and stupid.

Old Madam Su was complained by her own son, and she said confidently: "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so why can't he ask for Princess Mingyue's hand in marriage? If Prince Yu's Mansion doesn't agree, then don't agree. Why bother to make such an ugly scene with you in the court?"

Who is she doing all this for? Isn't it for her son and the Su family?

In Old Lady Su's heart, Min Baozhen passed away, Lu was divorced, and Su Shihang was still unmarried.

Since he is unmarried, he can propose to any unmarried woman in Shengjing.

She also felt that Prince Yu and Princess Yu were looking down on others.

Upon learning that Zhao Xiyue was brought into the palace to learn the rules, the Emperor asked the Imperial Concubine to choose a husband for Zhao Xiyue. Old Lady Su had the idea of handing over a name card to see the Imperial Concubine.

He wanted the imperial concubine to marry Zhao Xiyue to Su Shihang, deliberately making Prince Yu and Prince Yu's mansion angry to death.

He was stopped by Su Shihang.

Tong Huaqiong knew nothing about what was going on in the court.

When attending the full moon banquet for Huang Jingshan and Lu Zhaoyang's child, there was no outsider in the room, and Huang Jingshan told Tong Huaqiong what had happened in the court recently.

"......Princess Mingyue is now learning the rules in the palace and will stay in the palace before getting married. I heard that the imperial concubine is choosing a husband for her, but I don't know what kind of man she will choose. I hope she can be married off far away, just like Princess Jing'an." Huang Jingshan said.

Without Zhao Xiyue's harassment, Gu Jingzhe can study with peace of mind, and Lu Zhaozhao can take care of her pregnancy with peace of mind.

When the second heavy snow fell in Shengjing, Zhao Xiyue was betrothed to the youngest son of King Jingnan.

The youngest son of Prince Jingnan has lived in Shengjing since he was a child, which is a bit like a hostage.

After the spring, Zhao Xiyue married the youngest son of Prince Jingnan, and the emperor allowed them to return to Yunnan to live together.

The youngest son of King Jingnan was so happy that he thanked the emperor repeatedly. After staying in Shengjing for so long, he could finally go home.

Although he didn't like Zhao Xiyue, being able to return to Yunnan through the marriage was a good marriage for him.

Anyway, he doesn't need to treat Zhao Xiyue as an equal. Zhao Xiyue who left Prince Yu's Mansion is like a toothless tiger and can be kept in the palace.

After Zhao Xiyue was granted marriage, she caused a scene in the palace.

She didn't want to leave Shengjing.

The imperial concubine taught her with a cold face, saying that if Princess Jing'an had not asked to marry the King of Mobei for the sake of her country, she would have stayed in the bitter and cold land of Mobei at this moment, and would never have set foot on the land of Dasheng in her life.

After marrying into the Jingnan Palace, she can ask for permission to visit her relatives in Shengjing at least once every three to five years.

When Old Lady Su heard the news, she sneered and said that Prince Yu would have been better off agreeing to let Zhao Xiyue marry Su Shihang earlier, so that at least she could stay in Shengjing safely.

Now it's like losing a daughter.

After Zhao Xiyue's marriage was settled, Tong Huaqiong went to thank Old Lady Min specially.

She knew that whether it was Old Lady Su going to Prince Yu's Mansion to propose marriage, or exposing the matter of Zhao Xiyue's entanglement with Gu Jingzhe in the Golden Palace, it was inseparable from the instigation of Old Lady Min and the support of the mighty general.

Now that Zhao Xiyue’s problem has been resolved, Tong Huaqiong can spend a happy new year with peace of mind.
