Chapter 359 Egg Tarts and Sandwiches (2)
Nangong Yi is already 23 years old. Other princes have children at this age, but he has not married yet, and he doesn't even have a concubine or a concubine. This is very abnormal in the eyes of others.
Empress Mo also wants him to get married as soon as possible, so that he can have children as soon as possible. It happened that during the Chinese New Year, the emperor mentioned this matter and intended to let him marry Li Ruizhu, the daughter of Li Kaifeng, the general who protects the country.
Miss Li was born in a general family. She has a kind of heroic spirit of a general's woman. She loves riding horses and is good at swords, riding and shooting. She is not as delicate as those women in the boudoir. She is very appreciated by the emperor, so the emperor wants to give Nangong Yi, the third son, as his principal wife.
The queen was delighted to hear about this. Li Kaifeng, the general who protects the country, holds a large number of troops and controls one-third of the military power of the Jin Kingdom. He is a very important figure in front of the emperor. If the King of Qin can be his son-in-law, he will definitely help him with all his strength, which will be of great benefit to the great cause.
When Concubine Jin heard about this, she had a big fight with the emperor in her own Sijin Palace, but she failed to win back the emperor's heart.
The queen was very happy and just waited for her son to come back and go to the general's mansion to give the betrothal gift, so as to marry Li Ruizhu as soon as possible.
But after he came back, he made all kinds of excuses and refused to marry Li Ruizhu as his concubine.
The queen was furious. The emperor had never paid much attention to the son of the King of Qin. He only liked the prince. He finally got the attention of the emperor and gave him such a generous grace. Who would have thought that he would be so ignorant and wanted to refuse. If it were to reach the ears of the emperor, he would surely be furious. If that were the case, how could it be?
These days, she had been giving earnest advice and scolding every day. She cried, scolded, talked, and persuaded for a while, but Nangong Yi was as determined as ever and refused to agree to marry a concubine.
Today's scene was not the first time that it had happened in Yukun Palace since the King of Qin came back. The final result of the evolution was that the King of Qin allowed the queen to cry, scold, and ridicule, but she refused to give in. The Queen, after crying for a while, had no other choice but to be helped down by the eunuch of Yukun Palace to rest...
Today, Princess Zhaoyang was also in the Queen's Yukun Palace. Seeing that her brother was reluctant to accept the marriage, she was also worried about it. She came here today to help her mother persuade her brother.
Princess Zhaoyang is already sixteen years old this year. She is graceful and charming. She is a rare beauty in the royal family of Dajin. She is also a very scheming girl.
She saw that her brother refused to turn back even when threatened with death by her mother, so she knew that no one in the world could persuade him. Therefore, she watched coldly for half a day and never spoke once.
The Queen cried for half a day and was tired. She told the King of Qin to "get out". Nangong Yi bowed respectfully to the Queen and went out.
As soon as he left, a young eunuch came up and whispered to the queen: "Your Majesty, I have found out that Miss Mu has come to Beijing today and is now staying at the Anrui Inn in Maoer Hutong."
Queen Mo sneered: "Very good, she is finally here. I want to see what kind of foxy look she has produced to make that bastard not want her mother and sister."
Chaoyang advised: "Mother, in my opinion, why don't you take charge and marry her to the Qin Palace for my brother and give her the title of concubine. If my brother gets her, he will definitely be happy. Maybe he will be obedient and marry Ruizhu!"
