Chapter 161 Her Royal Highness is resigning (5)
Xuanyuan Xi didn't have a trace of panic about the fact that she might be charged at any time.
She raised her head and said calmly: "The Queen Mother has had a misunderstanding. When did my daughter say that she is happy with Master Na Zhuo? Not to mention that the lust has made her mentally dizzy."
"My daughter doesn't care whether he is beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, whether he always spends time with the ancient Buddha or whether he marries someone else."
Xuanyuan Xi quickly distanced herself from the relationship. If the news reached Xiao Yi'er's ears in the future and made him angry, she would die unjustly.
"Then why are you making such a fuss today?"
The Queen got lucky and asked the doubts in the minds of everyone present.
They originally thought that the concubine made this trouble, whether it was for the Zhuo family master or to win over the Prime Minister's Mansion behind him, in the end, it must be to regain the marriage.
But now, the princess said it was not for marriage, so what was it for?You can't just think it's fun, right?
Faced with everyone's doubts, Xuanyuan Xi said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's to protect my daughter's dignity as a princess."
"In any case, Mr. Zhuo was once the future princess' husband. The mother-emperor promised him to the second emperor's sister so lightly. If the daughter doesn't stand up and say a few words, wouldn't everyone be able to do so in the future? Step on the head of my daughter, a concubine!"
Xuanyuan Xi looked solemn. Although she was kneeling, her head was slightly raised, showing her dignity as a princess.
After hearing this, several ministers couldn't help but nod their heads.They were very dissatisfied with the fact that a man had been engaged to two sisters, let alone the royal family?
However, the Queen's decree was too sudden, leaving no time for them to give their opinions. Otherwise, they would definitely not agree to this marriage.
It was only later that the imperial edict was issued and the marriage was finalized. In addition, after all, this matter was a private royal matter, so they did not say anything more.
But now after hearing what Xuanyuan Xi said, several ministers realized that this matter was indeed detrimental to the dignity of the crown prince.
Since it concerns the crown prince, it is no longer a family matter, but has risen to the level of a state matter.
These ministers are all old scholars, and they thought to themselves: The king humiliates his ministers to death, and the crown prince is also a king!
So, they all responded and said: "Your Majesty, what Your Highness said is reasonable, but this matter is inappropriate."
Xuanyuan Xi looked at the queen's livid face and suddenly felt relieved.
Due to the natural suppression of the two identities of mother and daughter and monarch and minister, Xuanyuan Xi could not directly resist the queen.Because when she learned about the temperament of these ministers from her memory, she would improvise and use it a little bit.
Sure enough, these courtiers began to stand up for her.
So, Xuanyuan Xi continued his efforts and continued: "Moreover, no matter what, Mr. Zhuo's reputation has been tarnished. How can he deserve the position of the royal daughter's husband?"
"Just for the sake of the Prime Minister's Palace, I can give Mr. Zhuo the position of side husband. There is absolutely no reason to let him be the official husband."
"If not, how could those noble families who value reputation be willing to marry good men into our royal family?"
"In the future, are you going to wrong the innocent Crown Princess and her husband and the two other princesses and their husbands to get along with Mr. Na Zhuo?"
"So, please think twice about this marriage."
The one on the left was "reputable", the one on the right was "innocent", one question after another was thrown out by Xuanyuan Xi, which hit everyone's hearts hard.
It wasn't that Xuanyuan Xi was being cautious and deliberately targeted that man, but because she learned from the system that in the original fate line, Mr. Zhuo successfully married the original owner and became Fengjun, but he had a vicious heart and harmed Mr. Zhuo. Several of the original owner's descendants died, and he was eventually relegated to the cold palace.
In the changed plot, he also hooked up with Huangfu An early, and deliberately hung up on the original owner, which made the original owner, who was only dedicated to Sheji, develop some affection for him.
Then, just before getting married, she and Huangfu An had a drama about a hero saving a beauty and committing himself to each other.
This kind of man is really annoying!
Therefore, not only to destroy Huangfu An and the Queen's plan, but also to vent bad anger on the original owner, Xuanyuan Xi would not let the other party get his wish and become the second princess's husband.
Several ministers felt that what Her Royal Highness said was reasonable. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again!"
Although Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Chen believed Huangfu An's words, they were not fools, and they still had a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Therefore, they thought that even if the second emperor sister really didn't live long, they would not let the other party win over the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion so easily, so they handed over their hands and said: "Mother, please think again!"
When Xuanyuan Xi heard these two people speak, he couldn't help but curl his lips. It turned out that the "trust" halo only had this effect.
As long as you are strong-willed, have some brains, and have others to give you advice, the effect will be greatly reduced.
In the face of everyone's unanimous objections, the eyes of the only two people sitting in the palace met, and Huangfu'an said: "But, after all, the mother-emperor's imperial edict has been issued, and the marriage between the Zhuo family's young master and the royal family has also spread throughout the capital. , Now that the imperial sister is forcing the mother emperor to take back the imperial edict, wouldn’t it be changing the edict from day to day and damaging the saint’s wisdom?”
"Besides, the engagement was canceled by the royal family twice. Is the imperial sister going to force Mr. Zhuo to death?"
Xuanyuan Xi glanced at Huangfu An with a playful expression and said, "The second emperor's sister gave me two big hats as soon as she opened her mouth. She is really eloquent!"
"The second emperor's sister has been hiding in the palace all day long to recuperate, and is not allowed to be seen by the world. Now, at a glance, she is a royal woman, and she is very talented. In the future, the second emperor's sister should also go out and walk around more, show off, and don't hide it. Tucked in."
Sensing the probing glances cast by the two imperial sisters, Huangfu'an couldn't help but squeeze the hands hidden in her sleeves tightly. She replied coldly, "Please don't change the subject."
Xuanyuan Xi stretched out an index finger, waved it in the air, and said, "I don't agree with what the second emperor sister said."
"For one thing, Gu is just asking the Queen Mother to think twice. How about forcing her? No matter how much the Second Emperor's sister covets the position of Princess Gu, she should not ignore the facts and label Gu such a traitor."
Huangfu'an immediately intervened to defend himself, wanting to show that he had no intention of seizing the heir, "Sister Huang..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Xi with a wave of his hand, "You can save the second emperor's sister's defense for now, and then talk about it after Gu has finished explaining."
"This second hat says that Gu wants to force Mr. Zhuo to death. Does the Second Emperor's sister want to ruin Gu's reputation indiscriminately?"
"When did I say that I wanted to break off the engagement?"
"Since the mother-in-law has made the decree, it is impossible to dissolve this marriage. Therefore, Gu's intention from the beginning to the end is to change his position as a main husband to a side husband. The son's reputation will be damaged. I don't think Prime Minister Zhuo will have any objections. .”
"This is the best way to fulfill the engagement and preserve my royal dignity."
The minister and the three and four princesses also unanimously agreed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has thought very comprehensively, and what you said makes sense!"
"The eldest sister is right, Mr. Zhuo cannot be a real husband."
"My daughter seconded the proposal."
"The minister waits for a second opinion."
The Queen was also helpless. She originally thought she would be able to deal with the Ye family immediately, so when she tried to win over the influence of the Prime Minister's Mansion to her second daughter, she didn't have too many scruples. Now she is riding a tiger and cannot get off.
If it was just her daughters who objected, she could directly suppress it, but if the courtiers were involved, especially with such senior officials, then she couldn't do whatever she wanted.
But if Mr. Zhuo is really demoted as a side husband, then he is probably not trying to win over the Prime Minister's Palace, but creating a feud.
The reason why that old guy, Prime Minister Zhuo, was able to let his son become the official husband of the second princess was because she promised the Zhuo family the position of Phoenix Queen.
The Queen frowned, no matter what choice she made now, there were disadvantages.
And the initiator who put her in such a difficult situation was the scoundrel kneeling below, Huangfu Xi!
Feeling a gaze full of malice falling on him, Xuanyuan Xi didn't even move his brows and allowed the other party to look at him.
You can watch it if you want, she won't lose a piece of meat.
