There is no point in playing chess with the Supreme Emperor, and Jia Lian has no intention of trying to please the Supreme Emperor at this time.
Seemingly sensing Jia Lian's absent-mindedness, the Emperor only allowed him to play for one game before letting him go.
After leaving Chonghua Palace, Jia Lian went directly to Weiyang Palace.
Weiyang Palace is built on the central axis of Chonghua Palace and is the central palace in the second half of the entire Chonghua Palace.
In the past, Jia Lian usually went to Weiyang Palace through the palace gate on the west side of Chonghua Palace. Now this is the second time that he has gone directly through the Chonghua Palace area to Weiyang Palace. The first time was the birthday banquet of the Supreme Emperor and his private meeting with Princess Zhaoyang.
However, I feel that the palaces surrounding the residence of the Supreme Emperor are unparalleled in luxury and strictness in the palace. Between the palaces, there are many imperial guards.
Jia Lian silently kept the layout and defense of the room in mind.
Arriving at Weiyang Palace, she waited outside the palace gate for a long time before leading the eunuch over and taking her to a small courtyard in the west.
In that pavilion, Jia Lian met Princess Zhaoyang.
"Erlang!"
Princess Zhaoyang came down from the pavilion and looked at Jia Lian with excitement and earnestness.
Jia Lian knew what he meant and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry Qingran, I couldn't convince the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was determined and didn't give me much chance to speak..."
The hope in Princess Zhaoyang's eyes dissipated at a visible speed, and then became determined.
"Erlang, needless to say, I understand everything. My imperial grandfather has always loved my imperial grandmother the most. Even my imperial grandmother's intercession is of no use, let alone Erlang. I have already expected this result."
Looking at Princess Zhaoyang who was obviously sad but still forcing a smile, Jia Lian felt a little distressed. He gently held her in his arms and said, "Qingran, don't be sad. Although I couldn't make the Supreme Emperor take back his life today, I think
It turns out that the Supreme Emperor is still reasonable.
As long as I think of a way, there is always a chance to convince the Supreme Emperor.
Besides, there is Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty and the Queen Mother can speak to us, maybe one day the Emperor will change his mind."
Listening to Jia Lian's comforting words and feeling her lover's persistence, Princess Zhaoyang was moved.
But she still pushed Jia Lian away and shook her head: "It's useless. I know Grandpa Huang's temper. He never allows anyone to disobey his orders.
Moreover, it is impossible for my father to ask the Supreme Emperor for our affairs... so...
Erlang, it's better not to waste your energy anymore. It's useless. If you say it, you may completely anger my grandpa. When he unleashes his thunderous wrath, even my father won't be able to protect you. It's not worth it."
Jia Lian frowned and looked at Princess Zhaoyang: "But, our child..."
"Since this world cannot tolerate him, even if we forcefully bring him into this world, it may not be a good thing for him." Princess Zhaoyang said with a forced smile.
Jia Lian was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry for you."
Jia Lian has never been an indecisive person. Although he also cares about his and Princess Zhaoyang's child, he has not gone to the point of blocking everything in himself to fight against the imperial power for the sake of a bloodline that has not yet been born.
What he really cares about is Princess Zhaoyang. What he really worries about is that Princess Zhaoyang attaches too much importance to her children and can't think about it.
If this is the case, it will put him in a difficult situation.
In the current situation, it is foolish to resist the Supreme Emperor. Even Emperor Ning Kang, who was furious at the birthday banquet that day, could only choose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden when facing the Supreme Emperor, let alone him?
Therefore, at this time, quitting is the best choice, and there is no shame in it.
After all, as the saying goes, the Supreme Emperor's time is obviously running out, and he and Princess Zhaoyang are still young.
When the Supreme Emperor is gone one day, everything will be promising, so why bother trying to do anything at this time despite the risk of being sacrificed by the Supreme Emperor?
Now it seems that Princess Zhaoyang is not only not confused, but also comforting him. She has obviously made up her mind. I know that Princess Zhaoyang must have sorted out the interests and made a painful decision to prevent them from getting into trouble.
She is still so sane, no, she is more sane than before, not as sane as a woman.
Just as Jia Lian knew her, Princess Zhaoyang knew that Jia Lian understood her thoughts when she heard Jia Lian's apologetic words.
Feeling a little comfort in her heart, she threw herself into Jia Lian's arms and said softly: "Erlang has not sorry for me. Although he cannot marry Erlang, Erlang knows that these days are the happiest days for Qingran, ever since Erlang said he wanted to marry me.
It started that day.
To have Erlang treat him like this, Qingran would have no regrets in his life.
I just hate that God’s will is unfair and will definitely make things difficult for me. Or maybe, Qingran is too unlucky and is destined not to be with Erlang.”
"It's not that Qingran is unlucky, but that I, Jia Lian, am short-lived and don't deserve Qingran's tenderness."
Both Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang are rational people. Not to mention Jia Lian, who has been a man of two generations and has huge ambitions. He is always cautious and cautious at every step.
Princess Zhaoyang has an independent personality, and her mind has become more mature after going through a marriage and going through some hardships.
Therefore, even if the blow brought by the Supreme Emperor is huge, at this moment, under the rationality of the two of them, it seems that it is not so huge.
"Ahem."
Just when Jia Lian and Jia Lian were comforting each other, a woman's cold cough sounded.
Jia Lian and Jia Lian quickly separated, and when they looked back, it was the empress dowager who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and extremely beautiful who broke in.
"You two should be aware of the Emperor's will. From now on, I don't want to see this kind of situation again."
The Queen Mother walked over with an indifferent expression, first glanced at Princess Zhaoyang, and then looked at Jia Lian, her tone becoming more and more unkind.
"Zhaoyang is a woman, and it is easy to be emotional, but Marquis Zhenyuan is a court official, so you should know the importance. I hope you will pay attention to your words and deeds from now on, and don't do anything that damages the Tian family's face again.
This is my palace's place, and I can't guarantee that there won't be any other people's eyes and ears. If you are elsewhere, you two continue to be so unwilling to restrain yourself, and are seen by someone with intentions, and get into the ears of the Supreme Emperor. By then, the Supreme Emperor Longyan will be furious and descend.
Once you are punished, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Lian's complexion is a little dark. He doesn't understand why the Queen Mother always looks cold and cold every time she sees him.
Give him a scolding.
It was clear that he had not offended her in any way. On the contrary, he had saved her once in the Prince's Courtyard!
Now let alone repay, I feel like I have a grudge against him.
Obviously yesterday you swore to yourself that you could solve the problem with the Supreme Emperor, but in the end something went wrong with the Supreme Emperor. I didn't even blame you for being incompetent, but you took control of it.
No one likes to be treated coldly, even if the person is an overly beautiful woman.
Therefore, Jia Lian also said coldly: "I know the Queen Mother's good intentions. But since Qingran is already my woman, I am not afraid of being known."
The Queen Mother, whose beautiful eyes were slightly focused because of Jia Lian's disrespectful attitude, became confused when she heard Jia Lian's next words.
"Are you really not afraid? Even if the Supreme Emperor strips you of your official position and title?"
Jia Lian stood silently and did not answer.
Judging from the behavior of the Supreme Emperor who just stayed with him to play chess with him, it seems that the Supreme Emperor simply did not approve of his marriage to Zhaoyang, and did not dislike him.
Thinking about the flattery at the birthday banquet last time, it should have some effect.
Therefore, Jia Lian was indeed not too afraid of the Emperor's sudden rebellion, and dared to come directly to Weiyang Palace to find Princess Zhaoyang.
Probably because he is confident.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to intimidate Jia Lian, but she also wanted to retaliate against Jia Lian for being rejected and contradicted.
She never thought that Jia Lian's attitude was so disrespectful to her, which made her a little angry. She couldn't help but snorted: "Back then, I wanted to help you, but you didn't know what is good or bad. Now you have the nerve to say Qing Ran."
It's your woman!
Hum, I might as well tell you that the Supreme Emperor has ordered me to select one person from among the talented people in the capital to be Qingran’s consort..."
"Royal Grandmother...!"
Princess Zhaoyang heard what the Queen Mother said and quickly stopped her, then looked at Jia Lian with some worry.
Sure enough, Jia Lian looked a little ugly, but he couldn't say anything.
In fact, this was what he had expected. After all, the Emperor was so firm in denying their marriage that he would not even let the child in Princess Zhaoyang's belly be kept. He would issue an order for Princess Zhaoyang to choose another son-in-law. It was very reasonable.
Xu Shi saw that Jia Lian's mood was too stable, and the Queen Mother also lost her mind to stimulate Jia Lian, and only said: "In short, you didn't cherish all this at the beginning, and now you can't blame others."
Here, Princess Zhaoyang stood in front of Jia Lian, took Jia Lian's arm and said: "Since Qingran identifies with Erlang in this life, he will be Erlang's person in life, and will be Erlang's ghost in death. There is no one else in his heart.
Therefore, even if the emperor ordered someone to choose a son-in-law for me, in my heart, the only real husband is Erlang. Qingran's heart and body belong to only Erlang from the beginning to the end.
I'm just afraid that Erlang will forget Qingran in the future..."
"How could it be possible? In this life and eternity, I will never forget Qingran."
Watching Princess Zhaoyang fall into Jia Lian's arms again, and hearing their affectionate and disgusting words, the Queen Mother's Qingmei face showed some discomfort.
Youxin was too lazy to pay attention to them and the two of them turned around and left. He also felt that he was afraid of them, so he turned slightly and looked away.
After reluctantly standing for a while, I found that the young couple kept chatting away, and their sweet words became more and more excessive. They didn't behave like they should after being beaten up, and they didn't care that her elder was still beside them.
She couldn't help it anymore and said coldly: "It's almost time. Qingran, don't forget what you promised me."
Hearing the Queen Mother's reminder, Princess Zhaoyang was shocked to realize that she was so intimate with Jia Lian in front of the imperial grandmother, and she shyly left Jia Lian's arms.
She looked at Jia Lian tenderly: "Erlang, please go back first. Don't worry about me. I will be out soon..."
Hearing Princess Zhaoyang say that she would be able to go out soon, Jia Lian tried to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
"Then I'll wait for you outside the palace. Remember to protect yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, send someone to tell me. If it's inconvenient to contact me, you can also contact the Concubine Xian..."
Yuanchun is now a noble concubine, and there is no problem in communicating with people outside the palace, not to mention that he has given her a large amount of money to cultivate his own wings.
"Haha, don't worry, Erlang. With the imperial grandmother protecting me, no one in the palace can hurt me."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled. Although she felt that Jia Lian's instructions were useless, she was still happy that Jia Lian cared about her.
When she turned around, she saw that the face of the imperial grandmother beside her was getting more and more ugly. She finally made up her mind and signaled with her eyes that Jia Lian could leave.
Jia Lian was not too pretentious. He casually saluted the Queen Mother and turned around to leave.
His contemptuous attitude made the Queen Mother look stunned and about to explode. Princess Zhaoyang hugged her arm with quick eyes and swayed her in a flattering way.
The Queen Mother then gave up, but still said displeasedly: "This kid still seems dissatisfied with me, why should he..."
"Oh, Grandma Huang, you are too worried. How can Erlang be dissatisfied with you? Besides, Grandma Huang, you usually don't care about these false etiquette. Why are you arguing with him today?"
"I don't care, I just don't deserve it for you. How can this boy deserve your infatuation? You treat him with all your heart and soul, without thinking about yourself at all..."
Faced with the Queen Mother's doubts, Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "Isn't it you, the Imperial Grandmother, who taught Qingran, 'If you want to win the heart of one person, you will never be apart'. Now people already know that Erlang is the person Qingran has been looking for."
That person."
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly dropped. She didn't even remember how long ago she taught Princess Zhaoyang this poem, but it must have been a long, long time ago.
She raised her hand, stroked the top of Princess Zhaoyang's head, and said softly: "Qingran has grown up, and is no longer the little girl who pestered me with questions all day long.
Speaking of which, you haven't been with me for a long time since you came back from beyond the Great Wall. Take advantage of this time to stay in Weiyang Palace for a while and spend time with me."
Princess Zhaoyang really wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible because she was thinking about the career of her eldest princess's palace and the promise she made to Jia Lian.
This is one of the reasons why she chose to compromise so quickly this time. After a person has ideals and pursuits, other things become less important.
But looking at the lonely look on the Queen Mother's face and thinking about the loneliness of the Imperial Grandmother for so many years, she nodded and agreed.
