Gu Jian Qi Tan: Love for Marriage

Chapter 109;
The summons from the eunuch outside the palace seemed a bit lacking in confidence, probably because he hadn't recovered from Tu Su's sudden anger just now.

As his sharp voice fell, the elegant and elegant Empress Dowager walked in, "I heard from Xiao Guizi that the Holy Majesty was furious. Who on earth offended the Ai family's emperor?"

Tu Su hurriedly got off the chair, "The grandson pays his respects to the imperial grandmother."

The queen mother smiled kindly and helped him up, "Chen'er, now that you are the emperor, you have to compromise more than the prince. So, don't argue about everything."

"Chen'er understands." Tu Su naturally understood that as the emperor, everything should be based on the world and the wishes of the people. "Grandmother, you came here so late, could it be just to teach Chen'er?"

"You little cunning!" The Empress Dowager scolded with a smile, "Of course not. The emperor's grandmother came here this time because she wanted you to help the Ai family choose a painting."

Tu Su didn't understand, "It's He Danqing who is so precious? I want you to come here in person, Grandmother. If you get cold, what should you do?"

The Empress Dowager's smile deepened, and she said deeply, "The Ai family knows that you are filial. It's okay, Chen'er, let's take a look at the painting first."

"Okay." Tu Su nodded.

The people around the Empress Dowager took out the beauties Danqing from the box and spread them on the table one by one, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Tu Su approached, and with just one glance, he understood the real purpose of the empress dowager's late night visit.The brushstrokes of these pictures of beauties are all superb, with excellent charm, one can tell at a glance that they were painted by a painter in the palace.

And the beauties in this painting are all well-known ladies in Chao'an City.Among them, there are several pictures, which are the beloved daughters of several ministers in the court.

Tu Su smiled meaningfully, "Grandmother didn't ask her grandson to choose Danqing, but she asked her grandson to choose a concubine."

The smile on the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth turned into a guilty conscience, "No. Aijia just asked you to choose a painting for me, what is it like to choose a concubine?"

"Grandmother, tell me, which one do you like?" Tu Su was tired of playing tricks with the court ministers every day.

He exposed it so directly, the Empress Dowager simply kept it secret.From a few pictures, I found the portrait of the woman she had rejected the most and had no choice but to accept, and handed it to the emperor, "This is Lin Shangshu's daughter Rouge."

Tu Su took it, and Dan Qing almost slipped from his hand.

"Gentle personality, good appearance, and you, the emperor, are hatchback expectations when you were young. The Ai family thought that this girl could be a queen."

The woman in the painting has a beautiful face and is paired with a lavender dress. She is indeed as gentle and refined as the emperor's grandmother said.But... I remember that Rouge once told him that she was an orphan without father and mother.Why did Yanzhi become Lin Shangshu's daughter after three years of absence?
"Chen'er." In the past, she tried every means to prevent her grandson from marrying this woman who had fallen into smoke and dust, but now she wanted to force her grandson to stay with her.

Hey ~ sin!

"Grandmother." Tu Su suddenly realized.All the old guys in the front court wrote to him to marry Lin Yanzhi as queen, and then the emperor's grandmother came and said to him, "Chen'er, as the emperor, there are more things to compromise on."

It turned out that the emperor's grandmother planned it all by herself.

"Why did you force Chen'er?" After much calculation, it turned out to be the dearest relative that I didn't want to calculate the most!Count yourself!
"From the very beginning, you didn't agree with me marrying Rouge, and you forced Shuang'er to marry me. It was Shuang'er who got along with me day and night, and it was Shuang'er who was in trouble with me. As you wished, I fell in love with Shuang'er. Why did you Pushed 'Rouge' to me again!"

"Why is this! I have followed your wishes every step of the way, why do you still force me to betray Shuang'er!"

The Empress Dowager was speechless.After a long time, he sighed, "Chen'er, Lin Shangshu is my confidant. If you marry his daughter, he will be more loyal to you and will be of great help to you in stabilizing the throne in the future."

Yu Juechen burst into tears, "Whoever inherits the throne must punish other brothers! This is the rule set by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty! At that time, the emperor's grandfather, the father's emperor, exiled himself and killed many of his brothers! And I, And go their back way."

"My brothers are all dead, who else will be a threat to the throne?" He actually didn't want to think about such things. All brothers, including Prince Shuo's son who was pardoned by his father, are heartless!
He didn't want to kill his own brother, let alone kill the heartless brother who was like a brother.He kept letting himself escape, don't think about it.

At this moment, he wants to smash the dream with his own hands.

This is a sad rule, and the Empress Dowager was also a victim of this rule.Her two biological sons both died at the hands of the son who inherited the throne.

She once told herself to forget, but it became clearer and clearer.Then as I got older, I slowly let it go.It was mentioned again today, and it felt like tearing open a scar that had been healed for many years, dripping with blood and blood.

"Hurry up! Da... son... prison! The emperor... escaped..." The wolf-like shouts outside brought the painful and unreal thoughts of the two people in the room back to reality.

Tu Su hurriedly opened the door and called Xiao Guizi over.Xiao Guizi came in trembling and knelt on the ground, stuttering and stuttering for a long time before explaining the whole story.

It turned out that during the time when he was arguing with the emperor's grandmother, Yu Jueyu escaped from prison.But shouldn't he be beheaded at noon today?
No, the imperial grandmother beside her was too quiet.Tu Su turned his head abruptly, "Emperor Grandmother, it was you who ordered to delay the time of beheading, and gave Yu Jueyu a chance to escape from prison." Affirmative sentence.

"Yes." At this point, the Empress Dowager has nothing to hide, "We agreed. He helped me kill my enemy, and I will keep him safe."

Why did he receive a letter from Yujueyu's rebellion on the way - why the plenum opposed Qingxue as queen and recommended Rouge as queen - and why he needed to secure the throne.

All of this makes sense.
