Chapter 521: When it is old, it will be thrown away
Seeing that Concubine Yi came forward to teach Concubine Han a lesson, everyone at the table began to talk about it again.
"What Concubine Yi said is right, she should have accepted it a long time ago! Princess Han used to guard the General's Mansion, so she married into Prince Han's Mansion as she wished. Now that the General's Mansion has become the Pingdong Marquis Mansion, Princess Han still wants to resist the imperial edict!"
"To put it bluntly, she is jealous! At that time, Prince Han's wives and concubines were married together, and she often made troubles! Now that Shangguan Yue has been exiled, she wants to prevent Princess Minghui from marrying her. What else is it other than jealousy? It would be best if she was the only one in Prince Han's palace.
With just one female dependent, everything will be fine!"
"A jealous woman won't get far, and she's also the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Concubine Yi is right, if Princess Han doesn't correct herself, she will really be divorced!"
"In my opinion, it's better to get divorced. How could His Highness, Prince Han, only marry one person! Moreover, Princess Han's belly is not up to par. She has been married for several months and there is no movement at all."
Facing everyone's discussion, Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his eyes deeply and did not stop him.
The Crown Princess frowned in displeasure and looked to the side, "Jing Fei, how did Princess Han marry into Prince Han's palace in the first place?"
Seeing this, Concubine Jing quickly leaned over and gave an ambiguous answer, "Returning to Concubine Jing, there may have been some misunderstandings at the beginning. King Han married Xie Yao by chance."
Many people know what happened at the flower viewing banquet, and it is impossible for the Crown Princess not to know about it. Today, the Crown Princess made a special trip to hold another flower viewing banquet, and deliberately asked her about what happened at the beginning. Obviously, she did not really ask her this question.
.
"Misunderstanding?" The Crown Princess's voice was deep.
Concubine Jing's heart sank, and she quickly stood up and saluted the Crown Princess, "Mother Concubine Mingjian, a little accident happened at that time, which led to the misunderstanding. King Han was already soft-hearted, plus General Xie Lian's love at that time
It was with deep intention that King Han agreed to marry Xie Yao."
What happened back then was considered a scandal, so how could she have the nerve to mention it! Now that it was done, she could only help beautify the matter and prevent Chu Han's reputation from being damaged.
The imperial concubine's face became colder, and she was very dissatisfied with the concubine Jing's answer, "How did the Ai family hear that first Xie Yao used tricks to slander Lao Wu's evil intentions towards her, and then Xie Lian forced the palace, and then the marriage was granted?
?”
"This... the mother-in-law is right, it is true." Concubine Jing saw that the Crown Princess had already said so, so she could only tell the truth.
Between protecting Chuhan and protecting Xie Yao, she would definitely choose to protect Chuhan without hesitation.
The Crown Princess glanced coldly at Xie Yao, who had already walked away, and raised the corners of her lips, "With such bad conduct and being so jealous, having such a granddaughter-in-law in the Ai family is simply an embarrassment to the royal family."
Concubine Jing quickly said, "That's true. Xie Yao has been acting recklessly since she married into Prince Han's palace. Her daughter-in-law has told her many times, but she refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, and her daughter-in-law can't do anything about it. After all, the emperor personally ordered the marriage to her.
Yeah, it’s hard for my daughter-in-law to say anything."
"As a mother-in-law, what can't you say? Even if it is a marriage, she is still the royal daughter-in-law, and you are also her mother-in-law, but you can't teach her a lesson? You are hesitant, and you have not learned the royal style at all. Instead, you look like a royal daughter-in-law.
Stingy. Xie Yao is here today because of you!" The Crown Princess continued to teach her.
Concubine Jing nodded repeatedly, "What mother-in-law taught me is that my daughter-in-law will work hard to learn to be decisive."
"If you learn now, how long will it take for Princess Minghui to wait?" the Crown Princess said coldly.
Concubine Jing was at a loss for words, "What does the concubine mother mean..."
"Lao Wu is very resistant to the marriage. Have you ever tried to persuade Lao Wu?" the Crown Princess asked.
Concubine Jing sighed, "My daughter-in-law tried to persuade her, but King Han wouldn't listen."
"Loving mothers often fail!" The Crown Princess' eyes turned cold, "Since Princess Han refuses to change despite repeated admonitions and has a criminal record, it's okay not to have such a royal daughter-in-law. When there is no one around Lao Wu, she will naturally accept Princess Minghui."
Concubine Jing lowered her head slightly and rolled her eyes, "That's what the concubine said."
After the Crown Princess finished speaking, she sat up straight and looked coldly at Xie Yao who had walked away with her old eyes, a coldness flashing in her eyes.
The discussion below is still continuing, but all the voices are talking about Xie Yao's jealousy, bad conduct and other bad behaviors, and no one speaks for Xie Yao.
Chu Han's eyes were deep, and there was not much expression on his face. It was as if he hadn't heard anything, but the hand holding the chopsticks was tense, as if he was about to break the chopsticks at any time.
Princess Minghui also remained calm, with only an occasional sneer flashing through her eyes.
Xie Yao has such a reputation, why should she compete with her?
Even if she doesn't ask herself to step down, the position of the princess is still hers.
"Is it right to prefer the new and dislike the old?" Hong Ye suddenly spoke, his voice directly overshadowing everyone present.
Everyone paused and looked at Hong Ye.
Hong Ye was probably the only one who dared to make such a loud noise at the palace banquet.
"Why is Prince Hong accusing His Highness King Han? Isn't he a good friend of King Han?"
"It's not surprising at all! Don't you know that Crown Prince Hong redressed his grievances at the palace gate before? He loves Princess Minghui deeply, so naturally he is hostile to King Han."
"King Han is not to blame for this matter. The marriage was not requested by King Han."
"Although it was not requested by Han Qi, King Han has already sent a love token to Princess Minghui!"
For a time, there were various opinions, and some people took the initiative to persuade Hong Ye, "Prince Hong, the matter has come to this, you should let it go. It won't be long before Princess Minghui will marry into Prince Han's Palace, and she will be a member of Prince Han's Palace."
"Yes! Prince Hong needs to recognize the facts! If he accidentally does something inappropriate, it will be too late to regret it."
Hong Ye sneered and stood up suddenly, his blood-red robe flying in the wind, "It's too late to regret? You only know how to follow the trend, what's the point? Just for your own pleasure? Because Princess Han is weak, you all point the finger at her.
Aimed at Princess Han!"
"On the other hand, King Han, he is the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing. He likes the new and hates the old, but you don't mention it at all! What a bully and fear of the strong! If our country of Wanqi only has people who bully the weak and fear the strong, how can we stand on it and how can we resist the invasion of foreign enemies?"
Emperor Zhaochu sat at the front seat with a cold expression. After hearing Hong Ye's last words, his expression softened, and his eyes sternly glanced at the people who had just been discussing.
Everyone noticed the emperor's attitude immediately, and they all became silent.
The corners of Emperor Zhaochu's mouth curled up slightly, as if nothing had happened. Instead, he borrowed Hong Ye's words to give those people a warning.
"Prince Hong, don't you know that since some things are old, they have to be thrown away. Keeping them has no use at all and will only ruin your mood." Chu Han glanced at Hong Ye and said calmly.
Princess Minghui was stunned when she heard this.
Throw it away when it is old? How heartless and indifferent this sentence is!
Hong Ye frowned, looked at Chu Han in disbelief, and cursed in his heart, why didn't he realize that Chu Han was so ruthless and indifferent before!
