Chapter 306, Chapter 306
"Princess, the Grand Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo asked for a visit." Mei Xiang reported.
General Mu Huaiqian had already gone out early. Before leaving, he stuffed the child who was sleeping soundly on Ji Zishan's bed. At this moment, the child was sitting cross-legged. The mother fed him fresh and delicious meat soup. Ji Zishan held a bowl with her left hand and a handkerchief in her right hand, and wiped the soup stains on the corner of her daughter's mouth: "This is strange. Yesterday, my son came, and today I came. Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't bear to leave his daughter-in-law?"
Mei Xiang expressed her opinion: "Maybe it's because she's afraid that it will damage her Dong family's reputation." If His Majesty personally issued an order to let Dong Zhiyuan and Gao Miaomiao be together, I'd better slap in the face.
"No." Ji Zishan snorted coldly and replied.
Mei Xiang received the reply and ordered the man to reply. So, the Grandmaster of Zhenguo, who was eager to leave early in the morning, just waited until the princess was taking care of the little princess. I don’t know when I would be free, so the Grandmaster would rather ask her to go back first. As Mei Xiang said, Grandmaster of Zhenguo was not reluctant to let go of Gao Miaomiao, the daughter-in-law. She was just afraid of losing face. She would take back the marriage granted by His Majesty, which was simply a shameful person.
Princess Zhaoyang did not see her, and the grandmother of Duke Zhenguo did not dare to force her. Her face was gloomy for a while, and then turned to visit the Kang Mansion next door. No matter what, she must stop this matter.
The little prince Yuanbao and Yao Dejin were still staying in bed. When he heard the report from the maid outside the door, the little prince Yuanbao responded lazily: "Do you ask her what's wrong?"
Because she knew that the prince and the princess had not yet stood up, the maid dared to come over to report it casually. She had done a general understanding, otherwise she would not have opened her mouth: "I asked, the grandmother of the Duke of Zhenguo said that she was in a hurry to go to the palace to meet the queen mother for the sake of the affairs of Mr. Dong and Grandma Dong, and wanted to ask the princess to guide the way."
If the imperial edicts of each government want to enter the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager, they must first submit a letter of worship. If they are allowed to summon, they can only enter the palace the next day. The royal family's wife is different. The process for them to enter the palace is relatively simple. Generally, as long as they are reported, they can be summoned. The Duke and the Grand Lady of Zhenguo can't wait for a day. Is there something urgent?
"What are you doing for fanning this girl?" Yuanbao muttered softly, and then ordered outside the door, "Go to ask the princess next door."
Yao Dejin blinked: "Do you suspect fanning?"
"Who else can you besides her? You haven't heard from the maid that it's for Dong Zhiyuan and Gao Miaomiao." The little prince Yuanbao pinched his wife's face and muttered in a low voice, "Let her wait first and see what the fan said."
Yao Dejin moved lazily: "We won't get up yet."
"Wait until you are hungry again." The little prince Yuanbao hummed.
Soon, the maid who went to ask for it hurriedly returned. After hearing the maid's remarks, the little prince Yuanbao curled his lips and said, "This girl is really capable of meddling in other people's business... It seems that when the old lady saw that there was no hope of persuasion, she wanted to go to see her mother first. Well, tell the Duke of Zhenguo that the princess would go back to her parents' home today and not to go to the palace, so she asked her to go back."
The Duke of Zhenguo, who once again hit a wall, had to drive back home.
In the mansion, Dong Zhiyuan, who was taking leave at home, was still persuading Gao Miaomiao, hoping that she would not make things irreversible due to the relationship between husband and wife. This is not an ordinary couple. Once this matter is implemented, the two will have no chance to turn back. As long as she does not leave him, he will take her out of the capital and go to another place, and will not let her suffer any grievances.
The Duke of Zhenguo was also ordered by his mother-in-law and persuaded him earnestly. If you are really divorced, how will outsiders discuss you behind your back? Where will your parents' face be put? How will you live in the rest of your life? My mother was worried about your health before. She didn't ask you to raise her brother, but she was also afraid that you would be tired. If you really want to raise her, just carry it for you. When you have a fight with your teeth and tongue, you will inevitably have a bump in your life. As long as you say it is open, everyone is still a family. Don't act irritating.
Gao Miaomiao turned a blind eye and just told the maid to count all the items she responded with a tense face.
After Ji Zishan entered the palace, the first person to meet was Prince Yuanyuan. The one she wanted to get involved in was Prince Yuanyuan’s marriage. She had to say hello to him no matter how she said. After a few gossips, Ji Zishan said straight to the point: "Yuanhao, don’t my aunt have a cousin, have you married your uncle? She is not doing well in the Dong family now. My aunt wants to help her and leave the Dong family. Do you... have anything to say?"
The little prince Yuanyuan thought for a while and replied, "Auntie is right, why bother to ask me?"
"If aunt really helped her, wouldn't you feel it was detrimental?" Ji Zishan asked.
The little prince Yuanyuan calmly replied: "I don't realize it."
For the sake of his mother's kindness, he can protect the Dong family from glory, wealth, and gain a stable foothold in the capital. He doesn't care about anything else, nor does he want to care about it. The little prince Yuanyuan thought about it and added: "When my aunt and father make suggestions, just punish the Dong family a little, don't punish it too much."
If the engagement of Yu Ci was destroyed, he would be famous for his master. Since her aunt was accusing her of cousin, the only party who was punished and punished was the Dong family. Well, in fact, it would be better to use this matter to hit the Dong family.
After saying hello to Prince Yuanyuan, Ji Zishan jumped to Qianming Palace again: "Brother, I am here to file a lawsuit today!"
"Oh, who are you going to sue?" His Majesty Ji Ziqing was holding a memorial and browsing with his eyes down.
Ji Zishan said with a serious face: "I want to sue the Duke of Zhenguo to treat my sister Miaomiao. I want to ask you to issue an imperial edict to terminate the engagement between my sister Miaomiao and the Dong family."
His Majesty Ji Ziqing raised his eyes from the memorial, frowned slightly and said, "Are you serious? Or are you having fun with the emperor?"
"Do you think I'm playing tricks?" Ji Zishan said seriously, "I'll tell you, my elder brother, the old lady, the grandmother of Duke Zhenguo, is really too much..." In front of His Majesty Ji Ziqing, Ji Zishan said bad things about his mother-in-law, "I told her personally that she should treat my sister Miaomiao well. She also asked my brother Yuanbao several times to call Dong Zhiyuan to treat my sister Miaomiao better, but the two of them still do what they do..."
After taking a sip of tea, moistening the dry throat, Ji Zishan continued to slap: "I have already greeted Yuanhao. Brother, let's see you now. If you don't ask them to leave, I won't go home. I pester you every day. Wherever you go, I will go with you. Even if you eat and sleep, I will stare at you until you agree!"
His Majesty Ji Ziqing was deeply silent: "..." He really raised a living ancestor for himself!
"How can I give up the marriage if I order the emperor to give up?" As an emperor, if he agreed to the little girl's request before he could say a word, wouldn't it be too... easy to talk to?
Ji Zishan raised her chin and said with confidence: "Brother, if the officials you promoted to the imperial order have made mistakes, would you dismiss them from office and be punished according to law?"
Seeing that His Majesty Ji Ziqing nodded too much, Ji Zishan continued to say, "Isn't this the case? If there is a deviation in the later stage, you should stop mistakes in time. Don't tell me what you are doing. These two things cannot be confused. If the official you appointed violates the national law, will you give them a chance to reform? They are all adults, not ignorant children. If they know that they cannot do it, it means they are intentional! The Grandpa of Zhenguo knew that my sister Miaomiao was the daughter-in-law of her family's imperial order, and she could do such an excessive thing. It is obvious that she would not take you to the emperor!"
"She despises the Lord, and she will punish him according to the law!" Seeing His Majesty Ji Ziqing looking at him speechlessly, Ji Zishan said again, "Of course, I have already agreed to Yuanhao and only punish the Dong family with a small punishment. Therefore, the Duke of Zhenguo is not upright and will punish her for a year not to enter the palace to pay homage. Dong Zhiyuan favors his concubine and kills his wife, and will punish him for one year's salary... How about it, brother, do you agree? If you don't say anything, I will assume that you have made a promise. I will polish the ink for you, and we won't wait for the guys in the Hanlin Academy to draft your order on your behalf..."
Not long after, Ji Zishan returned to Cining Palace with a freshly released imperial edict.
Empress Dowager Hui'an was so impressed that she was so angry that her daughter was so angry that she didn't say anything about coming to see her after entering the palace. She just asked someone to send her granddaughter to her. But she ran away without a trace and came back in the palace, but gave herself a huge "surprise". Empress Dowager Hui'an closed the imperial edict and said slightly: "Nothing! For such a big thing, why don't you say something to your mother in advance?!"
Ji Zishan hugged her good daughter and said innocently: "Are you talking to your mother now?"
Seeing Empress Dowager Hui'an gouged her eyes hard, Ji Zishan said softly, "The Dong family is really too bullying. Don't the mother also dislike the old lady's style? My sister Miaomiao is so gentle. Since she has decided to divorce her, it means that she is really heartbroken. Since I can help her, how can I ignore it? I know that the mother may think that after taking this opportunity to hit the Dong family, the Dong family should be restrained, but..."
"Is it really good to Sister Miaomiao like this? Maybe that old lady has always been displeased with Sister Miaomiao. Could it be that she is really kind and tolerant because of this? Due to pressure, she may hide all her dislike in her heart. If this continues, she may not make any other troubles. This time it is because she is not upright, and I can take the opportunity to hit her. If she uses other tricks in the future and pushes all the mistakes on Miaomiao's head..." Ji Zishan frowned and said slowly, "It's not that I have to think of her badly. If she is really a kind person, she will not deliberately make trouble for Miaomiao."
The Dong family, Duke Zhenguo, tried hard to comfort herself. Even if the palace wanted to let her son be separated from Gao Miaomiao, she would at least call her to the palace and hold her accountable for this matter. At that time, she would give up her old face and cry hard, and she should be able to ask Empress Dowager Hui'an to cover up the matter.
