Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 174
Chapter 174 Xiao Ya Princess
However, I haven’t waited for your Majesty, so I personally came to ask you personally. Are you happy that you and my father forced your nephew into a desperate situation? Are you at ease now that you’ve forced the Empress Mother to leave in such a hurry, regardless of your etiquette? She is your younger sister. Are you satisfied that you forced this palace to separate from your wives? Are you happy that you made a chicken fly and a dog jump because of an incomparably powerful Nightmare Kingdom?
Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking? All of you are just afraid that her Fu Yingran’s merits will affect Lord Gao Zhen, and that this palace will grant any request to his Heavenly Villa, causing your power in Ye Lan to be affected, but have you ever thought about it? Since ancient times, karma has always been a cycle. As much as one pays, one gains. Otherwise, why would others abandon their homes and karma and follow this palace in the eastern expedition and the western war? Staying in the imperial capital and enjoying the peace and happiness, isn’t it good to follow your example and fight in the heart? Why do you have to carry your head and fight me to the death?
Didn’t you guys come up with this good show one after another just to preserve your power and the people under your command? “However, every emperor in this court will inevitably be in turmoil. This is an eternal law. Don’t tell me that the Right Virtuous King doesn’t even understand this?”
Saying this, He glanced at the Right Virtuous King. Seeing his hesitant expression, Huyan Mingshuo didn’t give him a chance to speak, but he continued, “But, uncle, why don’t you think about it? You are my biological uncle. With this, you don’t need to worry at all. No matter who I replace, it’s impossible for me to replace you. Why do you have to follow those people and send your cousin into the palace on your own initiative?”
You’re hurting her, you know? “Originally, she could have married into a wealthy family as her first wife, wanting to live a glorious life, but now, because of your foolishness, she can only waste her time in the palace. I wonder how the Right Virtuous King feels now.”
Listening to Huyan Mingshuo’s words, One mouthful after another from the Right Virtuous King, King Youxian’s heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave. He had never seen Huyan Mingshuo like this before. Right now, he was so aggressive. The aura of a king belonging to an upper echelon was completely displayed on him. Every question he threw made you speechless, and every word he said made your heart tremble.
He actually asked himself what he felt in his heart? Right now, Duke Youxian didn’t dare to think of anything. He had never thought that one day, Huyan Mingshuo would speak to him in such a sharp tone. Was this still the Crown Prince that he had protected since childhood? Or his own nephew?
Thinking about how hard it was for him to survive in the palace when he was young, and looking at how high he was now, the Right Virtuous King actually said confidently, “Is His Highness the Crown Prince going to split up with this old official?” Yes, you are promising now. You are lofty. Why don’t you think about it? If it weren’t for this king’s full power, you and your son would have died in the palace long ago. How could you still be so aggressive here?
This prince is only asking you to return a favor, yet you actually turn against this prince and refuse to recognize him. Could this be the kindness and righteousness of His Highness the Crown Prince? Yes, this king has indeed cooperated with your father to force Fu Yingran away. He has indeed done some absurd things, causing your mother to be in a dilemma. He has indeed forced your wife and children to leave another country. However, you, Huyan Mingshuo, have not obtained nothing from all of this. As long as this world is in hand, how can a man be without a wife? As long as you can accept these women and choose one of them to replace Fu Yingran, why would you worry about not having a son?
Besides, as long as you treat these women kindly in the future, their family’s forces will definitely be used by you. With so many forces combined, can’t they even compare to a Heaven’s Villa? With so many women, could it be that they were inferior to a single Fu Yingran? Why do you have to be her? “With your current status, what kind of woman do you want? Why are you so persistent?”
The more Youxian Wang spoke, the more vigorous he became. Huyan Mingshuo’s expression became uglier and uglier, and he still said, “From this king’s point of view, your cousin Xiao Ya is generous and virtuous. In addition to the relationship between you and this king, she is fully qualified to take the place of Fu Yingran and become the queen of Ye Lan.”
Back then, since you were able to confer Mu Lian the title of Consort because of the contributions of the Mu Clan Army, why can’t you confer Ya’er the title of Empress on me now? ‘”She is your cousin. As the saying goes,” Uncle, kiss me, break your bones and tendons. If you two have a son and a half in the future, then that’s the purest bloodline of Yelan. That’s the best person for the future Yelan Crown Prince. Why is it better than Huyan Haoze, who has half of the Wei bloodline? ”
Looking at the increasingly outrageous Right Virtuous King, Huyan Mingshuo and Nalan Jinhong’s hearts were filled with desolation. What was the reason? To think that he could turn an iron-boned man into such a snob, was this still the upright and upright Right Virtuous King from back then?
Looking at the Right Virtuous King in front of him and thinking about what he had said earlier, Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t help but get angry. He immediately stood up and released the cold air around him. He walked towards the Right Virtuous King step by step, and then stopped in front of him and said coldly, “Haha, is Uncle showing his merits? Alright, then let’s forget it.”
Now that you mention credit, Then this palace will ask you, Fu Yingran poured out all the forces of the Heavenly Villa to help me send troops and personally accompany this palace to battle the world. She also provided the formula of explosives. These years, she has been advising this palace everywhere to minimize the loss of the army of the Heavenly Villa and minimize the war. What credit is this palace for calming down the country and unifying the world in just three years? What position should I give her?
Also, Mu Lian, you also said that her identity as a noble consort was obtained with all the merits of the entire Mu Clan Army. Then let’s talk about the Mu Clan Army. The Mu Clan Army has been following this palace to fight everywhere since I was still in decline. This time, the Mu Clan Army has contributed a lot to pacifying the world. Even such a merit was only in exchange for the position of a noble consort.
And just now, you said that based on Ya’er’s relationship with my cousins and the care you gave me and my son in the past, I should have made her empress, right? Then this palace will ask you now, exactly what great contribution did your Youxian Palace make to surpass Mu Army and Fu Yingran and allow Ya’er to sit on the throne of the Empress?
What virtue does your daughter have to stand side by side with me instead of Fu Yingran? What face do you have to face the admiration and worship of the subjects of the world? Ten thousand steps back, she has made such a great contribution to Fu Yingran. This palace can ungratefully abandon her, let alone your Right Virtuous Palace. Lun Qin Shou, you are the closest to your parents’ wife and children. This palace can even ignore your parents’ wife and children, so why would I care about an uncle and a cousin?
Prince Youxian, do you think what I said makes sense? Do you still think Ya’er is qualified to be the queen?
But since you’ve done your part, uncle, Well, I can’t be a nephew without an expression, No matter what, your Youxian Palace did help this palace mother and son in the early years. This palace will tell you the truth. This palace will not touch any of the women who entered this palace this time, not even a single finger, including Ya’er. This was a promise that this palace made to Ying Ran back then, otherwise, we would be struck by lightning.
You said that just now, She is my cousin. I really can’t bear to see her waste her time like this. Now, I will give you a chance to go back on your word. If you think it through, cousin will not need to enter the palace. I can also make an exception and decree that she be a princess. I will grant her a princess’ mansion. In the future, you will be able to recruit a prince-in-law and enjoy the glory of your entire life. No one dares to bully you.
But if uncle insists on letting her enter the palace, Then she’ll be no different from the rest of the women, This palace can at most give her a consort position. It can also give her beautiful clothes and jade food, but she is destined to live a lonely life. No matter what choice you make today, from now on, all the past contributions of your Youxian Palace will be canceled. Uncle, you must think clearly, do you want your cousin to be the princess that everyone admires or the emperor consort that has wasted her life? The decision is yours. ”
Actually, this was the purpose of his visit to the Youxian Palace today. Princess Xiao Ya, the daughter of the Right Virtuous King, She was the first daughter of Princess Youxian. She was smart and intelligent since childhood. She was also very close to Huyan Mingshuo. When she was young, she always liked to follow behind him and call him Brother Shuo. Most importantly, Princess Xiao Ya already had someone in her heart. Therefore, after she learned that her father insisted on letting her enter the palace, she cried and ran to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to ask Huyan Mingshuo to help her.
Only then did Huyan Mingshuo know, There was actually her among the women who entered the palace this time. No wonder the Right Virtuous King was so attentive to the Consort Sealing Ceremony. At that time, Huyan Mingshuo was already very disappointed with the Right Virtuous King. In addition, he personally saw his mother being forced to leave in a panic today. He was extremely unhappy in his heart. That was why he came to the Right Virtuous King’s Mansion in great anger.
Because of these relationships, Only then did Huyan Mingshuo blame the Right Virtuous King without any scruples, This was also the first time he had treated the Right Virtuous King with the courtesy of a monarch and a subject. This was a rather bad feeling. He had always been very friendly towards his own relatives. Now that he treated the Right Virtuous King’s Mansion like this, it was not his wish. In fact, in these past few years, his uncle’s changes had been too great. He had completely turned into a selfish little person in the marketplace.
To think that for the sake of this little bit of power in his hands, He completely ignored the feelings of his relatives. Even his daughter’s happiness could be sacrificed for life. This was something that Huyan Mingshuo had never dreamed of. Therefore, he had to let Right Virtuous King understand that Huyan Mingshuo was not only his nephew, but also the ruler of Ye Lan. He was not someone that a small Right Virtuous King could control at will.
Looks like it’s because these past few years, The power he had given him was too great, Made him lose himself, Since he couldn’t control his inner demons, he could only let his nephew be the villain. Now that he withdrew the power in his hands, if he could return to his original nature, he would at least be able to protect the prosperity of the Xiao Clan. If he continued to develop like this, then people’s hearts wouldn’t be enough to devour the image of a snake, and it would probably implicate the entire Xiao Clan.
However, Prince Youxian did not accept his offer. He immediately said resolutely, “there ‘s no need to think about it, This king’s daughter, “This prince is in charge. She must enter this palace. As for how you want to settle her down, it is up to your own conscience. If you are so ruthless as to leave her alone for a lifetime, it is also her life. As for you saying that you want to write off all the merits of my Youxian Palace over the years, then I don’t believe that you can still not recognize me as your uncle.”
Seeing that he was still persistent, Huyan Mingshuo could only shake his head in disappointment and sigh, “This palace has already given you a chance. Since you are so persistent, then no wonder this palace is ruthless. I just hope that you won’t regret it in the future.”
As he spoke, he walked to the door of the study and intended to leave. But at this moment, someone pushed open the door of the study. A woman’s eyes were red as she barged in from outside and knelt in front of the Virtuous King. She pleaded bitterly, “Father, daughter, please don’t enter the palace. Daughter, please, don’t let your daughter enter the palace, okay?”
Seeing that Prince Youxian was unmoved, she knelt beside Huyan Mingshuo and pulled a corner of his clothes, saying, “Brother Shuo, help me. Help me persuade Father Wang not to enter the palace. Brother Shuo, help me.”
