On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 79 There Will Be No One Else
No one knew what was said inside, but I could hear the sound of cups breaking on the ground, followed by the angry curses of Emperor Jianning.
The eunuch outside sighed and shook his head.
Inside the hall, Emperor Jianning's chest was heaving with anger as he sat staring at the kneeling Prince Jin below.
"Rebel!"
The Prince of Jin refused to give in. He looked directly at the Emperor and said, "Father, I just want someone. Why won't you agree?"
Emperor Jianning is now a little curious about what kind of woman this woman named Jiang Nian is that can make his two sons care about her so much.
The Prince of Yan wanted to marry her, and the Prince of Jin even threatened that he would not want his current princess and would marry a girl from a small family instead.
Moreover, this girl is the granddaughter of the Lin family.
It had been over a decade since the Lin family incident, and Emperor Jianning didn't want to mention it anymore, but...
Looking coldly at the Prince of Jin below, Emperor Jianning said in a deep voice: "There is no need to mention this matter anymore. You can go back."
The King of Jin refused to listen and knelt, refusing to leave. "Father, Jiang Nian and I are in love and have expressed our feelings to each other. Please fulfill my son's infatuation."
Emperor Jianning slammed the table and stood up. "You still don't repent! Come, drag the Prince of Jin out and make him kneel outside the Council Hall. You are not allowed to get up without my permission!"
The people outside did not dare to delay and immediately came in to pull King Jin out.
When Prince Jin saw Prince Yan outside, his eyes were filled with resentment. He knew that his third brother was determined to compete with him. He had never liked a girl before, but this time he would not let Jiang Nian go.
Prince Yan just raised his eyes slightly and walked into the hall. Emperor Jianning was holding his forehead in distress, and he didn't look happy when he saw Prince Yan coming in. He knew what he came for at a glance.
"Are you here to ask me to grant you a marriage?"
"Your Majesty, Fifth Brother already has a princess. In order to dispel his thoughts, Your Majesty must issue an edict as soon as possible."
"I have issued an order to promise her to you. Is that what you mean?"
Emperor Jianning snorted coldly, "I don't know what you're thinking. You, Prince Jin, and now there's Xiao Yinan. You all keep giving me a lot of worry!"
Prince Yan frowned slightly, Xiao Yinnan?
Thinking of what Jiang Nian said, the King of Yan immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything. This time, I have what I want. I hope you will grant me your wish."
The Prince of Yan seldom called his father "Emperor." Usually, they addressed each other as monarch and subject, but today he unexpectedly gave in.
Emperor Jianning knew his son's temperament and remembered the hidden illness he had mentioned last time.
Forget it, there will be no good results if I continue talking about it.
"Is the girl willing too?"
"willing."
Emperor Jianning waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go down."
The King of Yan tactfully stood up and left the hall.
As soon as Prince Yan left, Concubine Chen arrived, but unfortunately she was a step too late. Prince Jin was already kneeling outside.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianning sent the man away immediately, saying that he didn't want to see him now.
From outside, Concubine Chen said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, it's me. I want to speak to you."
The eunuch came out and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Majesty will not see anyone, you should go back."
Concubine Chen gritted her teeth and glanced at her son who was still kneeling in the distance. She felt angry and helpless. If she had another son, she would not care about the life or death of this idiot!
After Concubine Chen left, Emperor Jianning stood up and said, "Let's go. I want to visit the Empress Dowager."
As expected, the Queen Mother knew about this and her face darkened. "Jiang Dechang is not a good person. He was not well-educated at home and he got into such a scandal. How can such a person enter our royal family?"
"Mother, but Prince Yan likes it himself, and I don't want to make that child sad."
"Hmph, isn't Your Majesty good enough to him? As the Emperor's son, it's Your Majesty who has the final say on what to do and what not to do. Besides, that Jiang Nian is nothing but a seductress. Your Majesty is going to send someone like that into the palace?"
Emperor Jianning was helpless. The Empress Dowager had always disliked Prince Yan, and her tone would become unpleasant whenever she mentioned him.
But Emperor Jianning was not angry, so this was fine.
He said slowly, "Mother is old after all. She doesn't understand the thoughts of young people. Have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
Emperor Jianning knew what the empress dowager was thinking, but the more so, the more he wanted to help Prince Yan.
He has always been good to this son...yes, always been good.
The next day, Prince Yan was summoned into the palace again.
When the Prince of Yan greeted him, Emperor Jianning quickly asked someone to stand up and said, "You and I are father and son, why should we be so polite?"
Emperor Jianning finally revealed a hint of a smile and sighed, "Hezhi, do you really like that girl from the Jiang family?"
Hezhi is the courtesy name of Prince Yan.
King Yan still hesitated, he didn't know whether this could be considered love.
He just felt that Jiang Nian was different from others, and he had some indescribable emotions.
"The girl from the Yu family I told you about last time..."
"Your Majesty, I made it clear last time that I had no intention of marrying the Yu family girl."
Emperor Jianning was displeased, saying, "The Yu family is truly ungrateful. Upon learning of you... they immediately found a husband for their daughter, and yesterday they came to the palace to tell me about this... But they're actually unwilling to marry their daughter to you. They truly are ungrateful!"
When the Yu family heard the rumors about Prince Yan, they could no longer sit still. They were afraid that His Majesty would suddenly grant them a marriage, and if they married their daughter there, her life would be ruined.
He has been quietly looking for a candidate these days. Once he finds the person, he will act first and report to the emperor later. Anyway, Emperor Jianning has not yet granted the marriage, and there is not even any news. If they get married on their own initiative, others naturally cannot say anything.
"Given my son's current health...it's normal for the Yu family to be unwilling."
"You, even if the girl from the Jiang family gets married, isn't it still..." Emperor Jianning couldn't continue.
"I can agree to your request, but forget about the position of principal wife. Her status is not worthy of you. I will just grant her the position of concubine. The position of principal wife must be reserved for her."
"I have said before that there will not be another woman in the palace. If I stay, there will be no one else."
"you......"
Prince Yan said in a deep voice, "If Your Majesty wants to send someone to the palace, I'm afraid the Queen Mother and the other ladies won't be able to stop him."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianning's expression finally softened a bit, and he immediately said, "Forget it, do whatever you want."
No one knew what was said in the hall. Emperor Jianning asked the eunuch to draft an edict with a dark face. Prince Yan was finally satisfied.
As soon as the person left, the eunuch hurried forward to pour tea and comfort him: "Your Majesty, calm down. It's rare for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to have a girl he likes, so you should pay some attention to her. Don't worry, with a woman by his side, he will understand the benefits after a long time, and becoming his official wife is not far away."
Just as he finished speaking, someone came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has fainted."
The emperor had a headache, as everyone was giving him a lot of trouble.
"Send that bastard to the Imperial Concubine's palace and tell her that if she can't control him, she will be confined to the palace and not allowed to leave!"
Then he looked at Prince Yan and said, "Alright, you can go back first. The imperial edict will arrive tomorrow."
