Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Chapter 223: Make the Decision for My Sister

After the court session, Meng Jinyou was kept by Emperor Yuan Qing.

"What do you think about this, Ayou?"

Meng Jinyou bowed and asked seriously, "Prince Heng is your majesty's younger brother. I dare to ask your majesty, what do you think about this matter?"

Emperor Yuan Qing: “???”

He asked first, right?

Is it really polite to just pass the problem back to him?

But Meng Jinyou didn't care about being polite. He sighed softly, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I was very sad when I heard the news."

"Hmm? Why is it sad?"

"My sister has been running the palace for the prince and raising children for the past few years. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. But the prince actually... I beg the emperor to make the decision for my sister!"

Emperor Yuan Qing was very upset.

Just now he was supporting Ah Xiao for keeping himself clean at the morning court, but as soon as the court started, he immediately changed his attitude.

He didn't know that the Meng family's duplicity was actually an ancestral skill?

"Your Majesty, I have spoken from my heart. I was forced by the situation just now. Now is my true thought."

Emperor Yuan Qing chuckled, "Then what do you think I should do? Should I follow Prince Yu's and the others' idea and issue an imperial decree to rebuke Ah Xiao, and then take the Beijing Guard Camp away from Ah Xiao?"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood," Meng Jinyou shook his head slowly.

"Ok?"

"What I mean is that my sister has made great contributions during this trip to the east, and the emperor should reward her generously."

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

He said that there were thousands of noble ladies in the capital, so why did Ah Xiao fall for the daughter of his Meng family?

This is the reason.

These two guys are equally shameless. They love to steal things from people's homes, and they both love to steal things from him, the head of a country!

So angry!

But Meng Jinyou added, "My sister has received the reward, and she will work even harder to be a good wife to the King of Heng."

Emperor Yuan Qing snorted, "Aren't you afraid that as soon as the reward arrives at Prince Heng's mansion, someone will make up a story that I'm cleaning up Prince Heng's mess?"

What's worse, wouldn't he be suspected of using the reward to silence Meng Yunshang?

"Will the Emperor be willing to take the blame?"

The corner of Emperor Yuan Qing's mouth twitched slightly. Of course he was unwilling.

Therefore, he not only had to reward Meng Yunshang generously, but also had to officially certify her position as Princess Heng.

Why is he so busy as the emperor?

Meng Jinyou calmly comforted him, "Your Majesty, rest assured. We brothers and sisters are grateful and will not let you do business at a loss."

Emperor Yuan Qing haha, he didn’t know whether Meng Yunshang would let him do business at a loss.

But as far as his two uncles, Meng Jinyou and Lu Chenxiao, were concerned, he had never made any money.

The helpless Emperor Yuan Qing could only draft an edict:

Princess Meng Yunshang of Heng is good at writing and fighting alongside her husband. She is truly a role model for women in the Yuan Dynasty. I now grant her a pair of top-quality jade ruyi, ten pieces of silk and satin, and a farm.

The reward was given out of the palace along with Prime Minister Meng Jinyou, and Eunuch Shun went to Prince Heng's mansion in person to announce the decree.

The scene was grand.

Originally, everyone in the capital was saying that Prince Heng's Mansion was ordered to go on a diplomatic mission to the East China Sea, but they were causing chaos in the capital of the East China Sea.

Although Meng Yunshang is the Princess of Heng, she is old and her looks have faded. Perhaps in the near future, the Prince of Heng will take in many beautiful women, leaving Meng Yunshang alone in her empty room.

But who would have thought that the Emperor would not only reward Princess Heng handsomely, but also praise her to a height that no one could reach.

In this case, is there any other woman in the Yuan Dynasty who can compare with Meng Yunshang?

Even the queen, the head of the six palaces, is slightly inferior. After all, the queen cannot go into battle to kill the enemy.

As for the rumors that Prince Heng was causing trouble in the East Sea Kingdom, they were completely refuted.

With such a wonderful woman in Prince Heng's mansion, Prince Heng would never look down on other women.

At most, it is just that men have no choice in their careers in officialdom.

Now, in less than half a day, the direction of public opinion in the capital has changed dramatically.

The east wind that Lu Yuanjing prepared encountered resistance before he even had time to release it.

Not to mention taking advantage of the opportunity to get the Beijing Guard Camp, he was even forced to make a wedding dress for Meng Yunshang.

Lu Yuanjing was so angry that he smashed the entire study that night.

Master Chen was so angry that he didn't even have dinner.

It was already before bedtime when Empress Chen received the news.

She asked someone to invite Emperor Yuan Qing to Fengyi Palace on the pretext of having a stomachache.

Emperor Yuan Qing did not suspect anything and immediately reached out to touch her abdomen. "My beloved concubine, how are you? Is the emperor feeling unwell?"

"Your Majesty~" Queen Chen said coquettishly with red eyes, "The emperor is just angry."

"Well, is she angry?" Emperor Yuan Qing looked at her belly in confusion. According to the imperial physician, the fetus was not yet formed at this time, so how could she be angry?

Empress Chen nodded and said firmly, "The emperor is just angry."

"Then why are you so angry?"

Empress Chen did not want to beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard that the emperor rewarded Princess Heng for no reason today and even said that she is a role model for Yuan women?"

Emperor Yuan Qing nodded, "Princess Heng grew up on the border, she is General Cheng's favorite student, and she is also taught by Prime Minister Meng. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a master of both civil and military affairs."

In the imperial study in the morning, Meng Jinyou offered to reward Meng Yunshang handsomely, but he thought Meng Jinyou was simply doting on his sister and protecting his son.

But as soon as the imperial edict and the reward arrived at Princess Heng, the difficulties encountered during the morning court session were easily resolved.

This made him sigh at how useful Meng Jinyou's brain was.

Queen Chen had no idea what he was thinking, she only knew that he thought highly of Meng Yunshang and was even willing to praise her higher than herself as the queen.

The jealousy surging in her heart made Empress Chen unable to calm down.

She tugged at Emperor Yuan Qing's sleeve and complained unhappily, "No matter how powerful she is, she is only the wife of a minister. Your Majesty is praising her so much, even disregarding my dignity, this is too much."

Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes flashed with coldness, but he quickly returned to normal and patiently explained to her, "I am praising the royal daughter-in-law, not Meng Yunshang herself."

As long as Meng Yunshang is the royal daughter-in-law, the honor she receives belongs to the royal family.

To a certain extent, the power of Prince Heng and his wife also represents that the Yuan Dynasty monarch knows how to use people well.

Not to mention, without moving a single soldier but just giving some material rewards, one can reverse the direction of public opinion in the capital, which is really a good deal.

Meng Jinyou really didn't let him suffer any loss.

But Queen Chen didn't think so. She only knew that Meng Yunshang had stolen her limelight and ruined her father's plans.

She held onto Emperor Yuan Qing's arm and complained, "I am also the daughter-in-law of the royal family and I am pregnant with the prince, but the emperor would rather reward an outsider than treat me more favorably."

"My beloved, what are you talking about? I have never treated you unfairly."

"I haven't treated you unfairly, but I haven't treated you well either. The rewards that I have are also given to other concubines in the palace. Now even Meng Yunshang, the wife of a minister, wants to climb over my head. What's the point of me living?"

Empress Chen cried and made a fuss, and Emperor Yuan Qing frowned as he listened.

The look in Empress Chen's eyes was full of confusion.

What happened to her during this time?

"Your Majesty~"

Emperor Yuan Qing patiently asked, "What do you want, my beloved concubine?"

"How about the emperor withdrawing his praise and reward to Meng Yunshang?"

Emperor Yuan Qing's face darkened. "Nonsense! Your Majesty is not joking. There is no reason to take back the things you have given away."

Empress Chen immediately began to cry, "Your Majesty, have you already lost patience with me? If that's the case, I don't want the baby in my belly."

Emperor Yuan Qing: “!!!”
