Chapter 1521 You might as well marry the Second Prince
Jing Yu was not an emperor who followed the rules, nor was he an emperor who was manipulated by his ministers.
He said with a half-smile: "I have issued an imperial edict to inform you, not to listen to your opinions."
With golden words, the overall situation has been decided. No matter how many thoughts the courtiers have, they have to keep their mouths shut.
However, with the queen, other concubines are not far behind.
What about the Queen? She has no natal family and no foundation, so she will only be an empty figure when the time comes!
The battles in the harem are more bloody than those in the court. It’s unclear how far this queen can go!
The emperor's wedding is handled by the etiquette department. Shangguan Ruoli has nothing to do except grasp some important aspects.
Some noble ladies in the capital saw that they had no chance of becoming queens, so they settled for the next best thing and wanted to be palace concubines. They also found various reasons to go to Shangguan Ruoli to increase their presence.
Shangguan Ruoli doesn't like to deal with these women, but Ji Minmin is the future queen, and necessary social interactions with her wife are still needed.
Shangguan Ruoli would not let her fight alone. He not only asked Ling Yao to help her, but also arranged for her an old nanny who knew the affairs of the capital and the palace.
Therefore, from time to time, he agreed to the posts of some married women asking for an audience, and summoned them into the palace to get acquainted with Ji Minmin.
Ji Minmin is also the heir to the clan leader after all. She has been involved in the affairs of the Ji clan for several years. After a few days of adapting, she gradually got into the zone.
The person who entered the palace most frequently was Yin Wenxiu. She relied on the fact that she was the daughter of a princess and the granddaughter of Concubine De, and she often came to the palace by visiting the elderly Concubine De.
Her brother Yin Xiuyuan also won the favor of Jing Yu. They and Shangguan An Ning, Jing Yu's brothers and sisters were all cousins and were quite dignified in the palace.
Today she came out of Concubine De's palace and wanted to go to Songhe Palace to pay her respects to Shangguan Ruoli.
When they saw Jing Yu, Jing Yang, and Jing Xi coming out of Songhe Palace, they thought they were going to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress.
Jing Xi bumped Jing Yang with her elbow, "Hey, Miss Yin."
Jingyang glanced at her coldly, "What do you care about me?"
Yin Wenxiu has liked to pester Jingyang since she was a child, but Jingyang has always been polite to her.
Seeing the three handsome and extraordinary people, Yin Wenxiu felt happy in her heart. She arranged her hairpin rings without leaving a trace, walked to the roadside and bowed down, "Greetings to the Emperor, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince!"
She is one year older than Jing Xi and Jing Yang, and is already sixteen years old. The Chinese New Year will be celebrated soon, and she will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If the marriage cannot be decided, she will be an old girl.
She also begged her mother to ask Concubine De to make the decision and follow the official Ruoli Titi to let her marry Jingyang.
Who knows, Shangguan Ruoli said directly: "Close relatives are not allowed to marry. This matter has been written into the law. Although it is not enforced, marriage between close relatives is unreasonable and will affect the quality of offspring."
Her mother and Dongming Ziyu are half-brothers and sisters, and she and Jingyang are cousins, so they are married by consanguineous relatives.
However, she was unwilling to give in. Except for the three most distinguished young men, Jing Yu, Jing Xi, and Jing Yang, no one could be worthy of her.
She didn't understand, it was obviously a beautiful thing, but why couldn't they get married?
What's wrong with having it written into the law? It's of no use as long as it's not enforced.
There are cousins around me who are getting married, but are they doing well? The children they gave birth to are also very smart!
It’s all the fault of the Queen Mother and Bai Qingqing!
She resented Shangguan Ruoli in her heart, but she had a gentle and gentle smile on her face.
She thought that these three proud men would stop and say a few words to her.
Unexpectedly, except for Jing Yu who said "no courtesy", the three of them walked past her without even stopping.
She felt a chill in her heart. She supported the maid's hand and stood up, but her feet stumbled and she let out a delicate cry: "Hey!"
Jingyu kept walking and walked away immediately.
Jing Xi and Jing Yang stopped and looked back.
Jing Xi asked with a smile: "Miss Yin, what's wrong with you?"
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your concern. My daughter accidentally sprained her foot." Yin Wenxiu looked at the two of them with slightly tearful eyes.
She was pretty, but pretended to be weak and pitiful. If it were any other man, he would have softened his heart a long time ago and walked over to ask her how she was hurt, and even helped her to rest elsewhere. Unfortunately, Jing Xi and Jing Yang were different from other men.
Jingyang had an indifferent expression on her face, looking at her like a stranger.
Jing Xi looked cynical, "Is it important? Do you want to hire a doctor?"
Yin Wenxiu moved her ankle and said softly: "It's okay, I must have gotten up in a hurry. Thank you, Second Prince."
Jing Xi smiled and said, "That's good."
After saying that, he and Jingyang walked away arm in arm.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, the smile on Yin Wenxiu's face faded and she looked incomprehensible.
Her personal maid whispered: "The second prince cares about the young lady very much. He is so amiable and approachable, which makes it easier to get along with than the third prince who is cold and cold."
Yin Wenxiu's eyes darkened, and there was a hint of light in her eyes.
The maid said: "It seems that the second prince likes the young lady very much. Madam, you might as well marry the second prince. Anyway, the second prince and the third prince look the same."
Yin Wenxiu scolded softly: "Shut up! Don't say such nonsense in the future!"
Although her tone was stern, she was not really angry and walked forward thoughtfully.
When they arrived at Songhe Palace, Shangguan Ruoli, Bai Qingqing, Ji Minmin, Ling Yao and Xia Baishao were talking and laughing about Wang Mingxuan and Xia Baishao's marriage.
Upon hearing Yin Wenxiu's greetings, Shangguan Ruoli's smile faded slightly and said, "Let her come in."
Concubine De is Zheng Shuyue and Bai Qingqing's aunt. We are all relatives. Even though Shangguan Ruoli thinks Yin Wenxiu is too fake and thoughtful, she won't show anything.
Yin Wenxiu came in quietly, her manners were dignified, elegant and steady. From the first glance, she had been raised strictly since she was a child.
"Meet the Queen Mother, the eldest princess!"
Although the imperial edict was issued, the wedding had not yet taken place, Ji Minmin was not officially the queen yet, and Yin Wenxiu did not salute Ji Minmin.
In her opinion, Ji Minmin only became the queen because of her good looks and saving Jingyang. She was just an orphan with no support from her family. There was no need to kneel to her as the daughter of a dignified princess.
.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "Please forgive me."
Yin Wenxiu stood up and greeted Zheng Shuyue and Bai Qingqing again. Then she and Xia Baishao greeted each other, as if they hadn't seen Ji Minmin.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled on the surface, but his eyes were light.
Ji Minmin always wore a just right smile, without any displeasure, as if she didn't notice Yin Wenxiu's disregard.
After everyone talked for a while, Bai Qingqing took Xia Baishao and left. Seeing that Yin Wenxiu didn't want to leave, she said, "Wenxiu, let's go together. I want to buy jewelry for Baishao as a betrothal gift. You have good taste."
,Give me the advice and advice.”
Yin Wenxiu's smile froze. Why are you buying a betrothal gift for your daughter-in-law and asking me to serve as your advisor?
Isn't it because I don't want her to stay here, because I'm afraid she will fly up the branch and become a phoenix?
She must turn into a phoenix and piss these people off!
No, she was originally a phoenix!
