Chapter 167 Consort
Concubine Yuan's Yuming Palace was burnt beyond recognition, and it was unoccupied for a while.

Concubine Li offered to let Concubine Yuan live in the main hall of Yufu Palace temporarily, but she moved to the side hall instead. Her attitude was appreciated by the emperor, who bestowed many things, and Concubine Yuan lived in Yufu Palace with peace of mind.

The remarks in the palace about Concubine Rong's ghost were also suppressed a little bit, as if Concubine Yuan really just accidentally caught fire.

Empress Dowager Cui was relentless, saying that the palace was not clean. There was no happy event in this one after another. Either the concubine had an accident or the emperor was assassinated. Now the palace burned a palace for nothing, which is really unlucky.

Empress Dowager Cui clamored to be happy, and then went to the emperor to follow up and speak, talking about Princess Chaoyang's marriage.

If it was the past, Empress Dowager Cui would definitely be blown away by the emperor, but this time the emperor actually received Empress Dowager Cui, and quite straightforwardly handed over the marriage of Princess Chaoyang to the Empress Dowager.

When Si Ningchi got the news, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to choose a son-in-law for Princess Chaoyang.

The person who was chosen as the son-in-law was none other than Yang Shuo's son Yang Guangyi, the son of Yang's parents who took part in the scientific examination with Qin Huai back then.

If it is said that this status is very suitable, the Yang family is in the limelight now, and the emperor also thinks highly of Yang Shuo. Although the Empress Dowager Cui does a lot of hard work on weekdays, she is quite serious in business, and I don't know why it is so hard to ask for it. The opportunity came, or did he really care about Princess Chaoyang?

"Yang Guangyi..." Si Ningchi propped his chin and listened to Su Yongde's report, raised his eyes and frowned and said, "The Yang family has never had any contact with the Queen Mother, has it?"

"Probably not." Su Yongde shook his head thinking about it. With the strength of the queen mother, she was banned by the emperor every now and then. How could she have any kung fu to collude with foreign officials? I know the emperor's dislike for Empress Dowager Cui.

Even if it is to work hard on the concubine, it is better than wasting time on the queen mother.

It is true that foreign ministers and the Queen Mother have never been seen walking around, and the selection of the son-in-law is probably the Queen Mother Cui's own decision.

Back then when Qin Huai failed to take the imperial examination, the Yang family did a lot of tricks, how could Si Ningchi forget about this?

"The queen mother received Yang Guangyi today?" Si Ningchi raised his eyes slightly and continued to ask.

"Yes." Su Yongde lowered his head and said in a low voice with a strange expression: "However, Princess Chaoyang did not go to Ci'an Palace, but went to Xuanming Palace. She must be arguing with the emperor right now."

"Ha~"

Si Ningchi suddenly laughed out loud, Princess Chaoyang is still so stupid, she can only scream.

Zhao Zongheng dismissed Princess Chaoyang with just a few words, obviously because he didn't want to hear her words about not getting married, and Zhao Zongheng's attitude also showed that he had no objection to the choice of son-in-law recommended by Empress Dowager Cui.

The fact is indeed the case, although Zhao Zongheng does not like Queen Mother Cui, but in terms of facts, the Yang family is a very good choice.

Yang Guangyi himself is also quite good. He looks like a jade tree facing the wind, and if he is brave and resourceful, he will surely achieve something in the future.

"Why do you have to force me, why!" In Changning Palace, Princess Chaoyang broke down and cried. The sense of being alone, helpless, and at the mercy of others.

"Princess!" Liuzhu was taken aback by Princess Chaoyang's move, looking at the mess all over the floor and then at the helplessly crying princess, she felt distressed and helpless.

"Although the slave girl knows that this should not be said, but..." Liu Zhu cautiously approached Princess Chaoyang and sighed softly, "Princess, why don't you go and beg the empress?"

"Now in this palace, the only one who can speak in front of the emperor is the empress."

Princess Chaoyang cried for a while, raised her head to look at Liuzhu with tears in her eyes, and said, "How can I beg her!?"

Liuzhu patted Princess Chaoyang's hand soothingly and said: "Princess, don't worry, you listen to the servant girl."

"Back then you were always at odds with the empress, it was all because of Concubine Liang." Liuzhu looked at Princess Chaoyang and said, "Nowadays, what Concubine Liang did is known to the entire harem, and empress must also miss you Concubine Liang will take advantage of it, and won't make too much fuss about it."

"It means that the empress did not mean to treat the princess harshly at the beginning?" Liu Zhu muttered in a low voice, "The servant feels that a person like the empress has a true temperament, and is much easier to get along with than the concubine Liang's twisted thoughts. .”

"You have also seen that our emperor obeys his words and loves the empress in every possible way. After all, the empress is the emperor's first wife and your serious sister-in-law." Liu Zhu persuaded quite seriously: " If you bow your head to the empress this time around, no one in this palace will dare to say a word about you in the future."

"Where is it the Empress Dowager's turn to choose a son-in-law for you?" Liu Zhu said in a serious tone: "Just let the Empress Dowager choose for you."

"..."

Princess Chaoyang's heart was shocked by what Liuzhu said, although she was always suffocated, but she had to say that Liuzhu's words really touched her heart.

In fact, she has never been willing to admit it. The emperor's brother's straightforward thoughts towards the empress could not be more obvious. As early as when she was planning for Concubine Liang, Princess Chaoyang actually didn't want to fight against the empress. She only hoped that the emperor would treat Concubine Liang. Just a little love is enough.

But then why did he feel that the queen was targeting her again and again?

Thinking about it now, it was Concubine Liang who repeatedly talked about how powerful the empress was, she couldn't compare to her, and used this to elevate the empress and demean herself, Princess Chaoyang was not happy, and over time she felt that the empress was very difficult to get along with.

"Princess." Liu Zhu took Princess Chaoyang's hand, frowned slightly and said, "Are you going to accept your fate and obey the arrangement of the Empress Dowager to marry the eldest son of the Yang family?"

"I don't want it!" Princess Chaoyang immediately raised her head, bit her lip and said as if humiliated: "I want to choose my husband-in-law myself."

"The empress...the empress might not help me." Princess Chaoyang recalled her time with Si Ningchi, she really couldn't figure out Si Ningchi's temper, she just felt that it would be a real embarrassment if she bowed her head.

But think about it, the matter of Concubine Liang was dealt with by the empress back then, no matter how embarrassing it is, would it still be embarrassing at that time?

Princess Chaoyang smiled self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath after pondering for a while, and said, "I see, I will dress up for this princess and go to pay my respects to the empress."

Liuzhu immediately showed joy when she heard the words, the princess could be regarded as listening to what she said, because of the relationship of Concubine Liang before, she dared not say all kinds of things!

Liuzhu stood up and helped Princess Chaoyang into the room to get dressed.

 I twisted my waist by mopping the floor, asking for leave...
