883 Chapter 883-offended
When Grand Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she didn’t put on a big show, just like an ordinary old lady who had gone out for a trip and returned home.
Someone had already informed the Emperor and Empress Jiang of the news.
As her daughter-in-law, Empress Jiang had been waiting outside Renshou Palace for a long time. There was also Empress Xue and a group of concubines.
The Grand Empress Dowager only asked the Empress Dowager Jiang to stay behind and did not see anything else.
After washing her face and hands, the Grand Empress Dowager sat down and looked at Empress Dowager Jiang with bright eyes, ” I heard that the Rong Kingdom has acknowledged the return of our daughter and grandson? ”
Empress Dowager Jiang replied, ” Your Majesty, my elder brother only brought his grandson back. My niece is in Qing Province to manage her business.
The Grand Empress Dowager nodded her head,”yes.” Find a time to tell the Emperor not to mistreat his uncle. Since the child had been found, the edict to confer the title of the Crown Prince would be approved. At the same time, the Emperor would also arrange a good marriage for the son of Duke Rong. Isn’t the Emperor the most happy to arrange marriages for children?”
Empress Jiang was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a while before she said, ” “Grand Empress Dowager, mu Yan has just entered the capital and still needs time to adapt. Moreover, mu Yan’s heart was filled with fear.
“What?” The Grand Empress Dowager interrupted Empress Jiang, ” Empress Dowager, are you trying to say that he has someone he likes in Qing Province? Ah, I’m afraid that a girl from Qing Province is not worthy of the son of Duke Rong!”
Empress Jiang’s heart skipped a beat.
The Empress Dowager continued,”the son of Duke Rong should be matched with a girl of equal social status.” This widow is worried that your brother won’t be interested in a small family, so this widow has even chosen a candidate for him, King Kang’s Manor’s Princess Jinghe. The Duke Rong’s mansion is the Empress Dowager’s Maiden Home. This widow’s decree is not as honorable as an imperial decree bestowing a marriage. So, let the Emperor issue the decree!”
Empress Dowager Jiang’s forehead throbbed. Who didn’t know about this monarch kanghe? he was the most domineering woman in the capital. The Imperial edict to marry him was a matter of a lifetime. It was a done deal. Mu Yan and niannian were clearly in love. If the marriage was bestowed, based on the Gu family’s character, they would never let their daughter be a concubine.
She did not know that li Muyan had already broken up with Gu Nian and was still thinking about the two children.
She wasn’t sure if the Empress Dowager had sent people to investigate the Gu family, and she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to change anything when the time came, so she carefully advised, ” “Grand Empress Dowager, do you know what chenqie told you last time, Zhenzhen?”
The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the Empress Dowager Jiang and smiled, ” “It doesn’t matter anymore. Just ask your brother if he’s willing or not. This widow has found a princess to be Duke Rong’s Princess, so he must be very satisfied. As for Jinghe, this child was always frivolous and should be married. At that time, with you as the Empress Dowager, you can also suppress her!”
“I’m just trying to help your brother. The princess of King Kang’s mansion is definitely worthy of Duke Rong’s mansion. It just so happens that Majesty Kang is also married to your brother, so this won’t embarrass your brother. There are many wives and concubines in the back residence of the Kang family. Jinghe, this child, won’t stop the Prince from taking concubines when the time comes. By then, your Jiang family will have a series of heirs. It’s just what your brother wants. Alright, you may leave! Tell the Emperor not to come today, and come see Aijia after this matter is done.”
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she picked up her teacup to drink some water.
Empress Jiang had no choice but to take her leave. She returned to her ning an Palace with a heavy heart and ordered someone to summon Xie, the wife of Duke Rong, into the palace.
She had a bad premonition that her brother and sister-in-law must have offended the Grand Empress Dowager, and it was not a light one at that. Otherwise, the Grand Empress Dowager, who had not cared about the marriage of the royal family’s descendants for ten thousand years, would have come out to betroth the young princess of King Kang’s residence, and with such an unquestionable attitude.
