Chapter 669: The reason for returning to Beijing comes from the morning court
Old Madam Xue smiled and looked at Qingyi and Ziyi, then turned to Madam Huo Chanyu and said, "Wife, the maids around Yue'er seem to be very dedicated. Give each of them five taels of silver!"
"My daughter-in-law knows, mother!"
The lady responded quickly.
"Thank you, old lady, for your reward!"
The two men in blue and purple bowed and expressed their gratitude.
"That's it!
You two go back and see what the lady is doing?
Tell her that it’s almost time for the vegetarian meal, let her take a break and then come over! ”
"Yes, old lady!"
The two men bowed and left the house.
The Anguogong family lived in the guest house of Qingguo Temple.
This place is not as spacious as the tall and bright halls in the Anguo Mansion, so the servants don't have to stay in the house.
At this time, only the Anguo family was in the house.
Second Madam Zheng Suyao handed the hot tea to her parents-in-law again. Duke Anguo Fu Peng took it and sipped it slowly.
The eldest master Fu Yinglan took a sip of the tea handed over by his wife, then turned to look at his father, "Dad, in your opinion, the sudden departure of these noble ladies in the capital... is related to the sudden return of His Royal Highness Prince Yu to the capital, right?"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng smiled slightly, "Yes, it is related.
But it’s not just because of this.”
"So what Grandpa means is... it's the Emperor..."
The eldest son Fu Mingxiu also looked at his grandfather.
"That's right!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded.
“I think…
Even if the Emperor did not give a final conclusion on Prince Yu's marriage today...
At least it was a warning.
That’s why there was a riot at Qingguo Temple!”
The second master Fu Yingze said.
"This should be!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded again and said with a smile: "The chaos in Qingguo Temple... is naturally the work of the emperor!
Furthermore, the three of us, father and son, took leave from the court at the same time and came to Qingguo Temple to perform Buddhist rituals.
Doing Buddhist things is true;
It is also true that temporarily leaving the court would give those who are greedy and want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble an opportunity to jump out and cause chaos.
We are three days away from the court.
Those people will definitely not waste these three days.
Their intentions will also be fully exposed in these three days!
As far as I know, there are many families in the capital who are coveting and plotting against the position of Prince Yu's wife.
How could the emperor not know?
Therefore, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree to grant marriage while drunk at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, completely shattering their long-standing plans and fantasies.
Now something unexpected happened in the Marquis Qinxing's mansion.
As a result, Yue'er's identity as the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing's mansion no longer existed;
This also made it impossible to determine the exact whereabouts of the Emperor's imperial decree granting the marriage.
And the thoughts of those people that had died before naturally revived again!
They saw opportunities again!
In order to get close to the royal family through marriage, they had no choice but to take action.
How could they let these three days go to waste?
Knowing that His Royal Highness Prince Yu came with us to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain, they immediately sent their daughter to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain, hoping that she would have a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
So what about the court?
How could those court officials just sit there and do nothing?
I guess that since yesterday morning court session, those court officials will petition the Emperor to annul the imperial decree granting marriage;
There must be at least dozens of such memorials!"
At this point, Duke Anguo Fu Peng smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The Emperor originally arranged for His Royal Highness Prince Yu to marry the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing.
Hehe... She was just the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing's mansion, and she didn't even have a specific name;
Now that the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion is gone, how can we talk about the Marquis Qinxing's legitimate daughter?
To be honest, the emperor's decree granting marriage is really meaningless.
As for whether Yue'er's engagement with Prince Yu still exists... then the Emperor needs to reiterate his attitude and make a decision.
This marriage was not something we initiated.
At this time, there is no need for us to put ourselves and Yue'er at the center of the storm.
As the saying goes: The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!
The imperial edict granting marriage written by the emperor himself;
The marriage contract promised by the Emperor himself...
Now, due to some minor changes, whether it still counts... naturally it is still up to the emperor to decide.
No?
The girl in our family is a bright pearl, and she is the one being courted.
We don't need to show weakness and take the initiative to cancel the engagement;
There is no need to take the initiative to fight for it or beg the royal family to keep the engagement.
Let's just avoid the dispute at this time and take a three-day leave...
First, to make those who are plotting against His Royal Highness Prince Yu jump out as soon as possible;
The second is to wait for the emperor's statement so that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.
So as to avoid dragging it on like this.
If we delay for too long, it may cause more unnecessary troubles, which will also be disadvantageous to our Yue'er!"
"Dad is right!"
Second Madam Zheng Suyao, who was standing by, listened to her father-in-law's words, nodded in agreement, and said, "It's all because of that bastard Leng Xian!
When he was alive, not only did he not treat our Yue'er well, he also helped that bunch of bastards from the Yin family to abuse our Yue'er.
Now that he is dead, our Yue'er has been branded as the "daughter of a traitor".
He's a damned piece of shit!"
Second Master Fu Yingze saw that his wife was getting angry again, and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "That scum has already become dirt, why are you still talking about him?
Is it worth it for you to be angry?
Last night, His Royal Highness Prince Yu returned to the capital overnight to avoid the surrounding troubles.
Before he left, he also said that he would go to the palace that night to meet with the Emperor and the Empress to ask for an explanation for the matter.
And this afternoon, these so-called noble ladies left Qingguo Temple in a hurry and returned to Beijing!
I think...the reason why they left Qingguo Temple in such a hurry was probably because of today's morning court session."
