Chapter 213 Let Yu Wushuang come to the capital
Yu Jiuer pushed the emperor further and made another request: "Your Majesty, the children have been in the palace for two months since they came back from Yinshan County, causing you a lot of trouble! Shouldn't they go back to Prince Jing's mansion with me? After all, it's easy for the prince's children to stay in the palace all the time, which is easy to attract criticism, right?"
"They are staying in the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. Who dares to say anything wrong?" When the emperor heard that she wanted to snatch the child from him, his face darkened again.
Yu Jiuer said seriously: "Your Majesty, other people's children live with their parents, but Your Majesty separated us from our flesh and blood. If this gets out, even if people don't say it, I'm afraid they will have some thoughts in their hearts! Please allow the children to leave the palace!"
Jun Mo also took the opportunity to request: "Father, according to the laws of our Great Dong Dynasty, it is not acceptable for the emperor's grandson to live in the palace all the time! Your son would like to ask for your approval!"
Shang Buqun cupped his hands and advised: "Your Majesty, it is unreasonable for the emperor's grandson to stay in the palace for a long time!"
Imperial Censor Lin also stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, it is indeed not right to keep the emperor's grandson in the palace."
The two children knelt down and kowtowed in a very formal manner, saying in unison: "Please grant us your blessing, Grandfather!"
Full of tacit understanding.
The emperor rubbed his forehead and felt a splitting headache.
The Prime Minister advised, the Censor agreed, the emperor's tone was full of grievance, his grandson was looking forward to leaving the palace to reunite with his parents, he was reluctant but had to agree.
He waved his hands in annoyance: "Forget it, forget it! Take it away! Take it away!"
After saying that, his expression suddenly became serious again, and he said childishly: "However, if I miss them, you must send them to the palace to accompany me at any time!"
"I will obey the emperor's order!" Yu Jiuer smiled and held the children in her arms and kowtowed to the emperor to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Lord!"
She raised her head and wanted to speak again, but the emperor looked stern and immediately stretched out his hand to stop her, puffing his beard and glaring at her, saying, "Stop! You are not allowed to make any more requests! You are so bold and reckless, and you lack discipline. I have to discipline you!"
Yu Jiuer was horrified. She just wanted to flatter him. She was not so ignorant! Why did he still need to discipline her?
The Prime Minister stepped forward in time to help her out, and suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the wedding of Prince Jing will be in a few months, and the concubine is considered a co-wife. Why not let Yu Wushuang come to the capital to attend the wedding and personally discipline his sister? It will also save your Majesty the trouble!"
Yu Jiuer became even more horrified when she heard this. She stared at Shang Buqun with wide eyes, wishing she could pounce on him and sew his big mouth shut: Thank you!
Woohoo, I, Yu Jiuer, must have had a grudge against you, Shang Buqun, in my previous life. You are trying to force me onto the cliff!
Shang Buqun looked at Yu Jiuer in confusion, with an innocent look on his face. Was it wrong for him to help her out?
Could it be that she has a tendency to be masochistic and doesn't want to be disciplined by her own brother, but instead wants the emperor to discipline her?
Jun Mo's slightly hurried voice sounded: "Father, Yu Wushuang has been suffering from a chronic illness since the Yinshan flood. It may not be appropriate for him to travel a long distance to the capital!"
"Since you are not feeling well, you should leave earlier. There are countless famous doctors in the capital. It is better to be treated in the capital than to stay in Yinshan County. Otherwise, he will become critically ill before anyone from Yinshan County passes the palace examination. Then you will have to argue with me again!" The emperor snorted through his nose and his tone did not allow for any objection.
Yu Jiuer wailed in her heart: How come the more I persuade her, the more dangerous it is? Come if you want, why do you want the imperial physician to see you?
Isn't that seeking death?
She was so angry that she secretly pinched Jun Mo's waist: You are incapable of doing anything good, but always cause trouble!
Jun Mo looked at Concubine Duan for help.
Concubine Duan sighed barely audibly, turned around and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, long journeys are indeed not good for your health. How about I send an imperial physician to see him?"
The emperor's shrewd eyes swept over the family and said in a cold voice: "Is he made of paper? I don't believe he is so weak! He cheated me of my money back then, but he was very confident and justified! Besides, the term of office of the Yinshan County Magistrate has expired for three years, and it is time for him to come to the capital to report on his work!"
The emperor was determined, so they could not persuade him any further for fear of exposing themselves and arousing the emperor's suspicion.
Prime Minister Rong swept his sharp eyes over them, then looked at his daughter and grandson in confusion, wondering why they were so opposed to Yu Wushuang coming to the capital?
Is this something that is hidden from him? He needs to find a chance to find out.
Jun Mo lowered his head in thought, if Yu Wushuang comes, Yu Jiuer will have to take on a dual identity. There will also be several hostesses in Prince Jing's Mansion by then, and it will be bad with so many people around!
He thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to the emperor, "Father, the little grandson has returned home. I hope the house will be quieter so that it will be more conducive to their growth. Can you cancel the engagement between the prince and the other person?"
"Your Majesty, don't joke! Do you think marriage is a joke?" The emperor said, staring at Yu Jiuer, "If Concubine Yu is narrow-minded and jealous, I don't mind helping you teach her a lesson!"
Yu Jiuer curled her lips. She didn't say anything, so how could she be shot while kneeling?
She could argue with the imperial power and reason, but she could not win against the feudal world, and of course she would not be stupid enough to make such a request of being together for the rest of their lives.
She had already decided in her heart that if Jun Mo showed any sign of alienation from her in the future, she would separate the children from the royal family and muster up the courage to secretly take the children back to Yinshan County.
Let’s see who can beat who?
Facing the emperor's murderous gaze, Yu Jiuer felt more and more uncomfortable and twisted Jun Mo's waist again.
Jun Mo said helplessly: "It's not that Jiu'er disagrees, it's that I don't like the chaotic atmosphere in the mansion!"
The emperor was so disappointed that he coldly rebuked: "Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines? You are a prince in a high position, but you are so independent? You are a disgrace to the royal family! If you are filial, give me a few more fat grandchildren!"
This time Jun Mo didn’t dare to speak anymore!
He was afraid that his father would have a sudden whim and assign him the task of having two children in three years.
"Everyone, go away!" The emperor waved his hand with a headache, and secretly decided in his heart that he would never let Yu Jiuer into the imperial study again!
Everyone bowed and left.
Yu Jiuer could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After surviving the disaster, she found a chill on her back.
After coming out, everyone stopped at the jade steps outside the imperial study and bowed to each other to say goodbye.
Prime Minister Rong glanced at Yu Jiuer, then at Jun Mo, and said, "Take care of yourself," and turned and left.
Concubine Duan glared at them, shook her head, squatted down, kissed the little grandson, and left.
The censors all gave Yu Jiuer a thumbs up, put their hands behind their backs and walked out of the palace together, whispering about Yu Jiuer on the way.
The Eighth Princess patted her chest and said exaggeratedly: "Concubine Yu, being with you is always a constant source of surprises. Can I still visit you at Prince Jing's mansion in the future?"
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Shang Buqun standing beside her, then turned her head and looked at Jun Mo with hope. As long as the Fourth Prince agreed to take her out of the palace, she could go out.
Jun Mo simply advised: "You should marry to Miaojiang in two years, so you should calm down and stay in the palace to wait for your marriage!"
How could he not understand what this little girl was thinking?
Yu Jiuer held the Eighth Princess's hand and said, "We are so familiar with each other now. When we are alone in the future, just call me by my name! When I have time, I will ask your Fourth Brother to pick you up to play. Thank you so much this time!"
"Yes, yes! I'm glad I could help you!" The eighth princess smiled with her face as bright as a flower.
The Fragrant Concubine was the last one to come out. She said in a sarcastic tone behind them, "You are amazing! You have just arrived in the capital and you have found an ally. I really underestimated you! But you'd better keep your tail between your legs in the future, otherwise..."
Before Concubine Xiang finished her words, Jun Mo interrupted her and said, "Concubine Xiang, I heard that the Third Prince has a concubine in the other courtyard and favors his concubine over his wife. There has been a lot of trouble in his backyard recently! Do you want me, your younger brother, to help you discipline him?"
Yu Jiuer continued, "Your Majesty, please don't bother with this. The affairs of the harem are complicated. You are a man of great importance and you shouldn't worry about them! I will work harder to arrange some more 'virtuous' women for the Third Prince to divert his attention from his mistress!"
"You dare?" Concubine Xiang grinned.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Third Prince is stupid, reckless and lustful. It is easy to deal with him. If it were not for the help of Xiang Fei, the mother of the Miao princess, he would probably not live to adulthood.
Jun Mo and Yu Jiuer said in unison: "We dare!"
They were so angry with the emperor that they had no place to vent it, so they just happened to have a punching bag, so of course they had to use it.
"Hmph!" Concubine Xiang didn't get any benefit, so she left indignantly, muttering, "What kind of crappy news did Rong Wan'er give? How dare you say it's good news?"
Shang Buqun approached Yu Jiuer with a look of seeking credit: "Yu Jiuer, shouldn't you thank me too?"
Yu Jiuer clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "I should really thank you!"
Jun Mo glared at Shang Buqun and said coldly, "Mind your own business!"
After saying that, he took Yu Jiuer's hand and called the two little ones who had already slipped under the steps to play: "Kids, go home with your parents!"
Shang Buqun was completely confused and said innocently, "What did I do? Why are you blaming me like this?"
