Chapter 159

As soon as Fei Nanxing left, Pu Xiuwen sighed to Ye Ximing: "Brother Ye is a editor and the number one scholar appointed by the emperor. I originally thought that among us, Brother Ye would be the first one to go to the emperor to lecture on scriptures. Unexpectedly, In the end, Brother Fei came out on top.”

Ye Ximing said quietly: "The emperor can let whoever wants to give lectures, and we have no right to comment."

When Ye Ximing said this, Pu Xiuwen felt that Ye Ximing was pretending to be calm on the face, but he must be unhappy in his heart. He smiled and said, "Brother Ye is right. I just envy Brother Fei for having such good luck, so I just said it casually."

After that, the few people stopped talking about it and only focused on the work in hand.

Fei Nanxing didn't go to give lectures to the emperor for a long time. When he came back, Ye Ximing asked with concern, "Is everything going well?"

Fei Nanxing couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and nodded: "It went very smoothly."

Xu Jin and Pu Xiuwen also asked Fei Nanxing about the process of preaching to the emperor. Fei Nanxing said what he could, but he didn't say a word about what he couldn't.

After resigning, Fei Nanxing found an opportunity to tell Ye Ximing the emperor's true intention of asking him to lecture.

"The Emperor wants to grant marriage to Miss Wu and me."

It can be said that the Emperor and Empress Dowager Yao dislike each other now. Empress Dowager Yao wanted Wu Xiangling to marry Young Master Yao Liu, but the Emperor bluntly said that it was inappropriate, which disturbed the Empress Dowager's previous idea of ​​​​granting a marriage to the two.

Yesterday, Mr. Fei came to the emperor and told the emperor that his apprentice Fei Nanxing wanted to marry Wu Xiangling, and the Wu family all agreed. He wanted the emperor to give them a marriage, and the emperor immediately agreed.

Not to mention that Mr. Fei could be regarded as his savior. If the marriage actually came true, he would be happy to grant the marriage if it would make the Queen Mother Yao and the Yao family angry for a while.

Although doing this would not really cause any loss to the Queen Mother Yao and the Yao family, it could still disgust them and make her feel bad.

The emperor summoned Fei Nanxing over today. One was to meet Fei Nanxing, and the other was to find a reason for his betrothal.

After hearing what Fei Nanxing said, Ye Ximing naturally congratulated him, and then said: "I will ask A'ran to go to the Wu family to tell him when we get back. They will definitely be very happy if they know the news."

Fei Nanxing nodded, "Then I'll bother Brother Ye and Sister-in-law. I'll come back to say thank you later."

Ye Ximing was right. When Zhou Ran told the Wu family that the emperor was going to marry Fei Nanxing and Wu Xiangling, the Wu family was really happy.

Although they had already planned to offend the Yao family and Queen Mother Yao when they agreed to the marriage, it was better not to offend them directly.

If this marriage directly turned into a marriage granted by the emperor, then the Yao family and the Queen Mother Yao would not be able to find fault with them. After all, the emperor granted a marriage, and the Wu family had no reason to refuse. Of course, they could only accept the decree. .

On this end, the emperor is also very fast.

Early the next morning, the imperial edict granting marriage was sent to the Wu family and the Fei family.

After Queen Mother Yao found out about this, she ran to question the emperor angrily. "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? You know clearly that Yuan'er likes Miss Wu, so why do you want to grant her a marriage to that Fei Nanxing? Are you sincerely angry at the mother-in-law of the Ai family?"

After hearing what Empress Dowager Yao said, the emperor sneered in his heart. She wanted to put the reputation of unfilial piety on herself.

However, on his face, the emperor smiled brightly and said to the Queen Mother Yao: "Mother, you have misunderstood me. You are the mother of my son. How can I be sincerely angry with you? It's just that Miss Wu and Cousin Yuan really It’s inappropriate.”

"You also know Cousin Yuan's reputation. If Miss Wu is willing to marry Cousin Yuan, that's all. But Miss Wu herself is unwilling to marry Cousin Yuan, and we can't force people to marry Cousin Yuan. Otherwise, the news will spread. It will also damage the reputation of our royal family, don’t you think?”

"Then can you grant her a marriage to Fei Nanxing?" Empress Dowager Yao said with a sullen face, "After all, you didn't take the mother and queen of the Ai family seriously. If you had known this, the Ai family would have You should go with the late Emperor."

"What did the Queen Mother say?" The emperor shook his head, "I have always respected you, Queen Mother, and I have listened to your mother's opinion more about the affairs of the court in the coming year. How could I not put my mother down in my eyes? Your Majesty. The reason why Fei Nanxing was granted marriage is because Fei Nanxing and Miss Wu are in love, and I thought it would be better to make them a couple."

"Okay, Your Majesty, do you think the Ai family is interfering in your political affairs, so you want to lose face to the Ai family?" Empress Dowager Yao pointed at the emperor and shouted angrily: "You are really a good son of the Ai family, you Why don't you think about it, if it weren't for the Ai family or the Yao family, would you be in the position you are in now?"

The emperor said calmly: "Mother, my son and I sat on this dragon chair in compliance with the will of our father."

"If not..."

Empress Dowager Yao wanted to say that if she had not chosen Emperor Hongsheng at that time, it would have been impossible for the late emperor to hand over the throne to Emperor Hongsheng, but even if everyone knew this, they could not say it.

If she had said nothing before when she was in charge of the government, if she said it again now, there would probably be a mountain of memorials criticizing her and the Yao family in the court tomorrow.

The words were suppressed, and the anger in Empress Dowager Yao's heart did not come out. Her face suddenly became even more ugly because of the suppression.

The emperor watched Empress Dowager Yao swallow her words again, shook her head with some regret, and said: "What's wrong with the queen mother? I see that the queen mother's face doesn't look good. Do you want the emperor to send the imperial doctor to the queen mother?" Take a look?"

Mrs. Yao paid a visit later, but instead of taking advantage, she was filled with anger. She looked at the emperor's hypocritical face and snorted coldly: "I don't need to worry about it, Your Majesty."

"In this case, I will not keep the queen mother." After saying that, the emperor said to the maids and eunuchs beside Queen Mother Yao: "Why don't you send the queen back quickly and let her have a good rest."

Queen Mother Yao took a deep look at the emperor, flicked her sleeves and turned around to leave with the palace attendants.

Just as Empress Dowager Yao left, another eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Empress wants to see you."

Emperor Hongsheng was in a good mood just after Empress Dowager Yao was defeated, but after hearing the eunuch's report, his good mood visibly dissipated. He rubbed his forehead, waved his hand and said, "Tell her I’m busy, no see.”

The eunuch responded, and just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Emperor Hongsheng again, "Wait, let her come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as Queen Mother Yao returned to Cining Palace from Emperor Hongsheng, Master Yao Liu came up to her. He said anxiously: "Sister, what's going on? Have you asked the emperor to take back the imperial edict of marriage?"
