Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 82

Chapter 82

Emperor Yongjia's words were firm and final.
Lu Lin was both moved and ashamed, and sighed again: "I knew that today, the minister should really teach her the rules. I shouldn't have let her practice martial arts and archery according to her temperament. I also developed a bad habit of sticking to one's own way."
"Now that she's grown up, her temperament can't be changed. In the future, if she doesn't speak well and act inappropriately, this minister, who is a biological father, will personally come to apologize to the Emperor."
Emperor Yongjia said warmly: "You are too worried. He asked for this marriage by himself. He knows Fourth Miss Lu's temper and still insists on marrying. How they will live in the future is their own business."
"Furthermore, the Empress is famous for being virtuous and generous. Even if her daughter-in-law occasionally breaks the rules, the Empress will teach patiently and will not easily blame her."
"Put your heart back!"
Lu Lin's eyes turned red again, he insisted on getting up and clasping his fists, and bowed: "I thank the Emperor very much."
Emperor Yongjia smiled and got up, patting Lu Lin on the shoulder: "From now on, you and I will be in-laws. When we talk in private, we don't need to abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. It's okay to be casual."
Lu Lin was not rigid either and opened his mouth to answer.
At noon that day, Emperor Yongjia kept Lu Lin to have lunch in the Wenhua Hall.
The news of this matter reached the harem, and Queen Qiao was quietly relieved.
It seems that this time there was no problem.
…
In the evening, Emperor Yongjia came to Jiaofang Palace and said to Queen Qiao: "I asked King Xingyang, and he nodded his head about this marriage. I plan to order the marriage as soon as possible."
Cut the mess with a quick knife.
The old and young were in an orderly manner, the Second Prince was engaged, and then the Third Prince will be engaged. The two brothers have their own families, so there was no need to mention things that should not be mentioned.
Queen Qiao's eyes lit up, and joy flashed in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trouble."
Emperor Yongjia was in a good mood, and he was not so angry when he mentioned his son, and said with a smile: "I should worry about my son's marriage, and you should not be the only one worrying about it."
Queen Qiao thought of that future daughter-in-law with amazing power and an unruly temper, and her joy was suddenly diluted a bit. Can't help but sigh: "Fourth Miss Lu is good in everything, but her temper is a little wild. In the future, when she gets married, this concubine will have to spend more time and train her well."
To be a mother-in-law, and to train a daughter-in-law, it was only natural.
Therefore, when Queen Qiao said these words, her tone was very natural.
Emperor Yongjia frowned and glanced at Queen Qiao.
Queen Qiao was startled and quickly recalled. Which sentence did I just say wrong?
Emperor Yongjia opened his mouth in a deep voice and said: "...King Xingyang has only one daughter under his knees. He loves her life more than his life and treats her like a treasure."
"He originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law for Fourth Miss Lu because he was reluctant to bear the slightest grievance for his daughter. Today, when I mentioned the marriage, King Xingyang agreed without a word, but he also shed tears in front of me."
"The dignified seven-footed man, the number one general of the Great Wei Dynasty, was full of worries about his daughter's marriage. I felt quite uncomfortable, so I deliberately comforted him."
"I have already said that the Queen has a generous temperament. In the future, if her daughter-in-law occasionally breaks the rules, the Queen will not be angry or punish her."
Queen Qiao: "..."
Emperor Yongjia looked at Empress Qiao with a stiff expression, and said gently, "The Empress might as well think about Hui'an, and she should be more sympathetic to King Xingyang."
Queen Qiao had to raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a dignified smile: "What the Emperor said is true. In the future, when Fourth Miss Lu will pass the door, this concubine will definitely love her as her own daughter."
Emperor Yongjia nodded with satisfaction.
Queen Qiao cheered up and said with a smile: "It's getting late, my concubine will make the imperial kitchen prepare some dishes that the Emperor loves..."
"No need." Emperor Yongjia opened his mouth to interrupt Queen Qiao: "I am going to accompany the Queen Mother for dinner."
Empress Dowager Zhao has always disliked her daughter-in-law. Emperor Yongjia often went alone to accompany Empress Dowager Zhao for dinner.
It is also not appropriate to say alone. Empress Dowager Zhao often summoned Concubine Qin and the Fourth Prince to accompany her, so she was not deserted at all.
Queen Qiao had to send Emperor Yongjia off.
When Emperor Yongjia left, Queen Qiao sat back on the phoenix chair sullenly, the more she thought about it, the more she was full of anger.
According to what Emperor Yongjia said, when Lu Mingyu entered the door in the future, as a mother-in-law, she had to bear more tolerance. Even if Lu Mingyu didn't follow the rules, she couldn't punish her.
Is this marrying a daughter-in-law, or inviting an ancestor back?
"Niangniang," Cailan's voice sounded, interrupting Queen Qiao's thoughts.
Queen Qiao was sullen, and her tone was more aggressive than usual: "What's the matter?"
Cailan reported respectfully: "The Second Prince has come down and wants to accompany the Empress for dinner."
…
After a while, the Second Prince stepped into the main hall.
Obviously, the Second Prince also knew that Emperor Yongjia had summoned King Xingyang and kept him for lunch. At this time, he walked briskly, his black eyes were smiling, and his handsome face seemed to shine.
Even calling the Queen 'mother' in a much softer tone than usual: "The Queen Mother eats alone, she can't help but feel a little deserted. I will accompany the Queen Mother to eat together."
Queen Qiao was both gratified and a little sour: "Do you want to accompany your mother, or you are in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law!"
The Second Prince stepped forward, supported Queen Qiao's arm and said with a smile: "It's true that I am eager to marry a daughter-in-law, and it is also true that I want to accompany my mother to dinner."
The son was flattering with a shy face. Queen Qiao was very pleased with him, so she went to the dining room with her son.
The imperial meal in the Jiaofang Hall was quite rich, and the mother and son were in different moods.
Queen Qiao was not in the mood to eat. On the other hand, the Second Prince, with a much better appetite than usual, kept serving Queen Qiao.
"Mother, eat more."
"This sea bass is sweet and delicious, please try it."
Being so attentive, Queen Qiao couldn't help laughing and ate a lot.
After eating, Queen Qiao had the habit of taking a walk to digest her food. The Second Prince accompanied Queen Qiao and walked slowly in the corridor of Jiaofang Hall. The spring evening wind, blowing slowly, dispelled the suffocation in Queen Qiao's heart little by little.
Queen Qiao whispered about today's events: "...King Xingyang has already nodded his head, and your father will soon order the marriage. This marriage has already been completed."
"Ah Jing, have you really made up your mind? Do you have to marry Lu Mingyu?"
The Second Prince stopped and looked at Queen Qiao: "Mother, I have said this many times, there is no need to repeat it."
Queen Qiao sighed deeply.
"It doesn't matter, this is the girl you like, the marriage you asked for."
"King Xingyang cherishes his daughter, his only fear is that his daughter will be wronged. Your Royal Father has already complied with King Xingyang and will treat his daughter-in-law well in the future. As a mother-in-law, I must not punish her for slight mistakes."
"Fourth Miss Lu's temper... let's not talk about it, you know better than me. From now on, no matter how your life goes, you can't blame others."
The Second Prince was not surprised at all, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will treat her well."
Queen Qiao: "..."
Why was she worried about Lu Mingyu? She was worried that her son, as the husband, will not be able to lift his head up because of Lu Mingyu's pressure!
