Wretched Original Spouse vs Top Mistress (27)
Qin Shao received Grand Princess Ronghua and the Liang Taifu couple into the palace.
Grand Princess Ronghua did not speak superfluous words and directly repeated that Qin Yuanzheng had said while kneeling before the Emperor: âThis old lady cannot bear for my granddaughter to receive this humiliation and request earnestly for His Majesty to revoke the imperial decree!â
Emperor Xiande quickly lifted them up.
He said gently: âGu zumu1 can be at ease. Zhen also watched xiao shimei grow up; how could it be possible for zhen watch her fall into the pit of fire? Donât worry, zhen already sent people to investigate. If it is truly as what xiao shimei had said that Qin Yuanzheng is really not a good match, it could be considered that zhen tied the wrong marriage thread back then. Zhen will give gu zumu and biao mei an explanation.â
Even Grand Princess Ronghua did not anticipate that this Emperor, who used soft means yet was swift and decisive, to actually speak so kindly.
Under the Emperorâs control, their efficiency was naturally very good. The people of Liangjia did not have to wait very long before receiving the Emperorâs news.
The matter of Qin Yuanzheng and Zhang Mingshu was confirmed to be true.
The Emperor said to Grand Princess Ronghua: âIt is not too difficult for zhen to send down a decree to overturn the previous imperial edict of marriage bestowal. Itâs just that once it is sent, regardless of the reason, xiao shimeiâs reputation is expected to be ruined.â
Grand Princess Ronghua became silent.
This was indeed an issue that they had been avoiding. Even if it was publicized, it was Qin Yuanzheng, Zhenbei Wang shizi, whose morality and conduct had flaws, and Liang Chenyu was a young lady who had withdrawn from a marriage. Those genuine first-rate noble families would probably not be very willing for their younger generation to marry this kind of wife.
âNo matter what, even at the risk of a damaged reputation, I donât wish for my Yuâer to marry a person like Zhenbei Wang shizi!â Grand Princess Ronghua clenched her teeth.

âThe Empress Dowager had arrived!â The Empress Dowager who had always stayed at Shoukang Palace had come to Ganqian Dragon Palace for an unknown reason.
âAijia has heard about the matter regarding your familyâs xiao jie.â The Empress Dowager had entered the door and got right to the point2.
âNow you are worrying about how to settle this matter, but aijia has a way.â The Empress Dowager calmly said.
Grand Princess Ronghuaâs eyes brightened: âI ask Empress Dowager to tell me.â
The Empress Dowager smiled with a profound meaning: âThe eight characters of Liang shiâs daughter, Chenyu, is precious and Zhenbei Wang shizi cannot afford it.â
As soon as she said this, the entire palace hall became quiet.
Liang Taifu took a second to react to the Empress Dowagerâs meaning: even a wang ye shizi could not afford these eight characters, then onlyâŠ
He covertly glanced at the Emperor sitting at the top and discovered that he could not make out any expression on his face at all.
Grand Princess Ronghua also understood the meaning in the Empress Dowagerâs words. Was the Empress Dowager asking on behalf of the Holy One to marry their Yuâer?
Seeing that the people of Liangfu did not speak, the Empress Dowagerâs eyelid twitched: âWhat? Do you all have an objection towards aijiaâs proposal?â
After all, Liang Taifu did love his daughter dearly. He did not wish for his daughter to enter the harem where people were eaten: âAnswering the Empress Dowager, my daughterâs temperament is naughty and mischievous. Iâm afraid it is hard toâŠâ
The Empress Dowager lightly placed the cup in her hand on the table and interrupted Liang Taifuâs words: âWhether Liang shiâs daughter has a virtuous appearance or meritorious deeds, it can be said to be a model of my Qi State. Liang Taifu is so modest. Could it be that you despise my imperial household?â
Cold sweat dripped down Liang Taifuâs forehead. With these words, even if he had one hundred points of courage, there was no way he would dare to speak.
He thought the Emperor sitting at the top would stand up and say something. Wasnât this person usually extremely resistant when his marriage was mentioned? Why did he unexpectedly not make a utter a sound now?
Could it be that the Empress Dowager was too serious and dignified? Even His Majesty did not dare to talk too much?
