Chapter 378 The world of sweet love between the emperor and the empress 4
"Ha!" Prime Minister Jiang sneered, "Chunxi is right. Even if the disciple is better than the master, Prince Kang can only be more incompetent than the emperor after he sits on the throne. He wants to demolish the bridge before crossing the river. I want to see how Prince Kang will cross this river."
"The Imperial Concubine is indeed from a humble family," said Madam Jiang with disdain, "Since the Imperial Concubine and Prince Kang and his mother like Miss Yi so much, then our Chunxi should go to the farm to recuperate!"
"Just like Chunxi said, maybe the Imperial Concubine still thinks our family is sensible? With the Imperial Concubine's pillow talk, we are not afraid that the Emperor will blame our family. After all, the Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's true love. What the Imperial Concubine says is more effective than anything else."
As for the matter between the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, every powerful family in the capital city despised the Emperor in their hearts.
Is the emperor's eyes blinded by shit, doting on such an uncultured woman from a humble family?
"Let's do it this way," Prime Minister Jiang said, "Go pack Chunxi's things now, and let her go to the farm to recuperate tomorrow."
The same thing was happening in General Weiyuan's Mansion.
Prime Minister Jiang loves his daughter, and General Weiyuan is also a father who loves his daughter. General Weiyuan had been feeling uncomfortable when the Emperor wanted his daughter to be Prince Kang's concubine.
But after all, Prime Minister Jiang's legitimate daughter is indeed more suitable to be the principal wife than his daughter. Therefore, even though General Weiyuan was uncomfortable, he did not refute the emperor's decision.
But the result was that Prince Kang played a trick on him, allowing the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official to step on his daughter's head. This was not just a slap in the face of General Weiyuan's Mansion, but it was shitting and pissing on the head of a great general like him.
If his daughter hadn't stopped him, General Weiyuan would have rushed to the palace and given Prince Kang a good beating.
"Okay, father, don't get angry over someone like Prince Kang. It's not worth it," Mu Yilan said to her father. "Since Prince Kang himself doesn't treat us like a human being, let's not be polite to him. He wants to gain your support in the court, but he wants to humiliate the face of our Weiyuan General's Mansion. Prince Kang really thinks he is a nobody."
Mu Yilan smiled contemptuously: "Instead of being angry like this, father should think carefully about how to trip up Prince Kang when he enters the court after his wedding. Father can discuss this with Prime Minister Jiang. I believe Prime Minister Jiang is very happy to cooperate with father on how to trip up Prince Kang."
"Your father is not a rough man, and I am not good at conspiracies and intrigues. If we want to make trouble for Prince Kang, we really need the old fox Prime Minister Jiang," said General Mu, looking at his daughter with heartache, "Daughter! You really have to marry Prince Kang."
"Why don't we just not get married? At worst, my father can use all his military achievements to marry the emperor..."
"Father, please stop talking nonsense," Mu Yilan said, "Your military merits are earned by risking your life on the battlefield. How can I let you give up your military merits for me? What's more, I can't bear the thought of giving up my father's military merits for someone like Prince Kang."
"Anyway, please don't say such things anymore, or your daughter will be angry with you."
"Okay, okay, isn't it okay if father doesn't say anything more? Don't be angry with father." Seeing his daughter angry, General Mu quickly coaxed his daughter.
The daughter was the only child he and his wife had. His wife died after giving birth to their daughter. If it weren't for his daughter, General Mu would have almost followed his wife.
After all, the relationship between him and his wife could be said to be one of life and death. After his wife passed away, although he was forced by his mother to take several concubines in order to reproduce offspring, these concubines also gave birth to many children for him over the years.
But in General Mu's heart, only the daughter born to his deceased wife is his dearest child, and the other children are no match to him.
"That's about right," Mu Yilan gave her father a proud look, "My daughter will go to the farm to recuperate tomorrow. She won't come back until she has recuperated for two or three years. Even if she can't escape and marry Prince Kang, she can't easily marry into Prince Kang's mansion."
"Also, you must have a good discussion with Prime Minister Jiang. In short, you must make Prince Kang lose face in the court, so that your daughter can be relieved of her hatred."
"Don't worry, my dear daughter! I will definitely help you get your revenge." General Mu said with a sinister look in his eyes:
The next morning, Jiang Chunxi and Mu Yilan set out for the manor. They met at the city gate, so they went to the manor together.
Around noon, the imperial edict granting them marriage to Prince Kang also arrived at Jiang's residence and General Mu's residence.
Logically speaking, this was an imperial decree granting marriage, and Jiang Chunxi and Mu Yilan should have received the decree in person. However, General Mu and Prime Minister Jiang both said that their daughters had gone to the farm to recuperate, so the eunuch who came to announce the decree did not dare to say anything!
When the emperor learned about this, he was naturally very dissatisfied. The actions of the Jiang and Mu families clearly showed their dissatisfaction with the royal family. Going to the farm to recuperate was just an excuse.
But it happened that the royal family was in the wrong in this matter, so the emperor couldn't get angry. Not only did he not dare to be angry, he also had to bestow medicinal herbs to express the royal family's importance to the daughters of the Jiang and Mu families.
But what the emperor did not expect was that the Jiang and Mu families actually went even further and submitted a memorial to the emperor, expressing that their daughter needed to recuperate for two or three years and requesting the emperor to postpone the wedding.
Jiang Chunxi and Mu Yilan were scheduled to marry Prince Kang in half a year, while Yi Fuyan was scheduled to marry Prince Kang in three months.
The Emperor was angry and naturally would not allow the Jiang and Mu families to slap the royal family in the face. However, when the Royal Concubine learned about this, she thought it was a good thing.
The son and daughter-in-law had just gotten married, and the son was going to marry two concubines. What a cruel thing it was for these two lovers!
In short, with the imperial concubine's advice, the emperor naturally agreed to postpone the wedding for three years.
What the Imperial Noble Consort didn't know was that her actions made the other concubines in the harem laugh at her, and at the same time made them dislike the Emperor even more, thinking that he was a lustful and foolish man.
The emperor's favor towards the imperial concubine had already made the concubines in the harem very dissatisfied, and now the emperor even allowed the imperial concubine and her son to slap the faces of two first-rank officials like this. In the eyes of the concubines in the harem, the emperor had already risen to the level of a tyrant.
Because the Imperial Noble Consort was favored, no one had ever competed for favor. After all, no matter how hard they competed, they could not beat the Imperial Noble Consort. And now it was even more unnecessary to say anything. All the concubines in the entire harem were simply giving up and really didn't want to compete for any favor at all. This led to the Imperial Noble Consort finally enjoying the exclusive favor for the next three years.
After all, no one is vying for favor, so naturally no one will find ways to make the emperor treat everyone equally, so the emperor can just throw away his worries and favor the imperial concubine alone.
