Yun Zishu didn't say anything, her expression became more and more indifferent and distant.
"The prime minister's belly can support the boat." Concubine Wu endured the displeasure in her heart and still said in a good voice, "In order to make up for the grievances you suffered in the past, in addition to the specifications that a legitimate princess should have for a marriage, I will ask the emperor to
I agree to give you a larger dowry, and the highest standards of clothing and jewelry, so that you can live a better life in Dongyou than in the palace. Do you think this is okay?"
Yun Zishu shook her head.
Concubine Wu's smile froze again. She suppressed her displeasure and asked in a good voice, "Then what are your conditions? As long as I can do it, just ask."
"What the Imperial Concubine can do, the Queen Mother can do it, and she can do it better than you." Yun Zishu said seriously, "And the person who doesn't agree with my marriage is actually the Queen Mother. If the Imperial Concubine wants me to agree, I should
Let’s convince the Queen Mother first.”
The Queen Mother disagrees?
Concubine Wu's face changed slightly: "As long as you agree, won't the Queen Mother agree?"
"But I don't want to agree." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "The imperial concubine doesn't even want the eighth sister to get married, so why do you think I am willing to go?"
As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to plummet, and the Changchun Palace instantly fell into stasis.
Concubine Wu's face could no longer maintain her warmth and kindness, and she looked at Yun Zishu coldly: "I will not agree to let Zirou get married, and it is impossible for the emperor to agree."
"Then let's wait and see." Yun Zishu stood up, "It's impossible for my father to break up with the Queen Mother because of the eighth sister's matter."
"Yun Zishu!" Concubine Wu stood up anxiously, "How can you agree to this?"
Yun Zishu looked at her calmly: "The noble concubine should still remember how she instructed An Huaishan to do evil things to me?"
Concubine Wu's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing? Who instigated it in front of you -"
"No one is provoking it." Yun Zishu's tone was unusually calm, like a sign of an imminent storm, "The imperial concubine dare not admit the things she has done?"
Concubine Wu refused to admit it: "I have never done such a thing, whether you believe it or not."
"If you dare to admit this in front of my father, then there will be no hope of being promoted to queen, and the eighth sister will not be able to become a legitimate daughter." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "I have given up on this idea."
"What did you say?" Concubine Wu looked at her in disbelief, and then her face turned cold, "So this is your purpose?"
"I believe that the imperial concubine heard it clearly, so there is no need for me to repeat it." Yun Zishu nodded, "I'll take my leave first."
After leaving these words, she calmly turned and left.
"Jiu Mei!" Yun Zirou came to her senses and hurriedly chased her out, "My mother-in-law has never had any intention of harming you. Jiu Mei has misunderstood. This must be a misunderstanding! Jiu Mei——"
"Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, this is the condition of this palace." Yun Zishu stopped and looked at her with a very indifferent expression, "As long as the imperial concubine admits her mistake to her father, I will ask the queen mother to take back the imperial edict."
Yun Zirou was shocked, angry and scared. She couldn't say a word and could only watch Yun Zishu leave with Leng Yue and Leng Shuang.
"Concubine!" Yun Zirou turned around and walked into the palace quickly, "I don't want to marry Dongyou! I don't want to go even if I die. Concubine, please save me——"
"Why are you so anxious?" Concubine Wu frowned when she saw her losing her composure, "A princess should behave like a princess, but Yun Zishu made you lose your composure like this with just a few words? How can you fight with her?"
Yun Zirou was in a state of panic and confused.
She doesn't want to fight with Yun Zishu at all now. She just wants Yun Zishu to die far away and never see her again in this life.
"The marriage is just a one-sided statement by Yun Zishu. Who knows if the Queen Mother really has such thoughts." Concubine Wu calmed down and began to think deeply, "Logically speaking, marriage is a major event for both countries. No matter how much the Queen Mother protects their shortcomings, she cannot compromise the family and the country.
Nonsense, and besides, over the years, the Emperor has wanted to propose me as the Queen more than once, but the old Queen Mother has refused to agree to it. This time, in order to prevent Yun Zishu from getting married, he took such a big step back, which is unreasonable no matter how he thinks about it.
"
Yun Zirou was stunned: "What does the mother-in-law mean..."
"I will first find out what the Queen Mother means." Concubine Wu sat down, her brows filled with a deep luster, "What if Yun Zishu is trying to scare you?"
Yun Zirou's face changed slightly, yes, what if that little bitch Yun Zishu was trying to scare her?
"By the way, didn't Concubine De come to the harem?" Concubine Wu looked at the sky outside and said, "Forget it, it's getting late today. Let Concubine De come over tomorrow and I'll have a chat with her."
What Dongyou wants is the legitimate princess. If it were changed to what Dongyou wants is Yun Zishu, let’s see how she can behave in a different way.
"yes."
After going in and out of the palace twice, it was already very late when she left the palace. Yun Zishu returned to the princess's palace by car, and the two envoys from Dongyou had already left.
After dinner, she went back to the dormitory to shower and change clothes. Yun Zishu was wearing a cloud-colored singlet and leaning in front of the couch. Her expression naturally looked a little lazy. She held her chin and looked at Sicang calmly: "Before I leave, I would like to ask you
We must settle the accounts that need to be settled clearly, and we must not default on the payment.”
Sicang nodded: "Yes."
"What did your two men say?"
Sicang approached slowly: "Is Your Highness angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"This is something that I've been hiding from His Highness." Si Cang narrowed his eyes, with a bit of unnoticeable nervousness in his expression, "I've already had a plan over at Dongyou."
Yun Zishu pondered for a moment: "I'm not angry at all. I'm just curious. You've been in Dayong for so many years. Where did you find the time to plan Dongyou's power?"
This is not just across a city and can be done secretly while on a mission, but across a country.
Not to mention the many barriers and obstacles, even though they are thousands of miles apart, it is difficult to control them carefully.
How did he do that?
Sicang was silent: "Your Highness, can you allow me to keep it a secret for the time being?"
"can not say?"
"It's not time to say it yet."
Yun Zishu hummed: "Okay."
Sicang raised his eyes slightly and looked at her calm face. Under the lamplight, this face became more and more beautiful and refined, with a hazy look between her eyebrows and eyes showing a bit of indifference and alienation, making her look even more unattainable.
Sicang's heart was pounding unbearably, and he could only suppress his emotional fluctuations, and spoke calmly: "Now, in addition to the royal family, Dongyou is headed by five major families, one of which is the Situ family of the uncle's house, but although the Situ family has
He got a queen, but it didn’t significantly improve the family’s status.”
After a pause, "Because the Situ family's yin is strong and yang is weak, they have many daughters, and the sons are all from the same lineage. Their qualifications are dull and they are incapable of leading an army. Even studying seems to be difficult."
Yun Zishu thought thoughtfully: "Situ Lingyi looks quite impressive."
"The magnificence built up in wealth and glory is not worth mentioning." Sicang said, "Although he is the leader of the envoys who came to discuss the marriage this time, he is not the one who can really make the decision."
