Chapter 240 Lady Ying (7)
Chapter 240 Lady Ying (7)
Hongshi was still in a daze until he sat on the throne.
What's going on here?
He teased his stepmother and thought that he would be held accountable after the incident and that the emperor would be angry, but in fact, the emperor was indeed angry.
But this anger was not directed at himself.
After his fourth and fifth brothers died one after another, the emperor seemed to have completely forgotten about his molestation of his stepmother.
Not only was he kind to me, but he also reminded me not to study too hard.
Hongshi: I was very confused. It was as if the Emperor had suddenly been cursed. He didn't beat me, scold me, or teach me a lesson. He didn't even feel sad about the deaths of his fourth and fifth brothers, Longyue, and Lingxi.
Then, something even more confusing happened. Hongshi was still trembling with fear, thinking that his royal father was waiting for him to make another big mistake so that he could give him a big blow. He had made plans to stay out of the spotlight for a while and pretend to study hard. However, he didn't expect that before he finished memorizing this page of the book, he received good news: his royal father was really old!
Hongshi, the eldest son of Fat Ju, who was almost dying of filial piety to his father, had no intention of observing three years of mourning for Fat Ju after he succeeded to the throne, nor did he have the awareness of properly handling the affairs of state.
After all, he has been a fool from beginning to end, and growing taller is his specialty and only skill.
Letting an idiot who hasn't learned the Four Books and Five Classics handle court affairs and expecting him to impress everyone is also an idiot.
Hongshi was completely confused about government affairs, and he did whatever his dear uncle said. Hongshi thought that after all, he was his relative, and his uncle would not cheat him. So after his fourth brother died, Prince Heng, who was about to be buried, ushered in the golden age of a politician, and he finally experienced the pleasure of being a powerful king!
No wonder Oboi and others didn’t want to return power to his father, Prince Heng thought, he hoped that his silly nephew Hongshi could always trust him like this - he could!
Almost all government affairs were happily handed over to Prince Heng to handle, and Hongshi himself only served as a tool for stamping and repeating imperial edicts. He felt that he had managed the previous dynasty well, so he went back to play with his stepmother.
Jiang Caiping is waiting for Hongshi!
When she saw Hongshi coming, she immediately started to cry like a little white flower: "Third brother, no, the emperor shouldn't come here. I am your stepmother, this is not right."
Hongshi was in high spirits and couldn't bear to hear this: "So what if I'm your concubine's mother? Since you know I'm the emperor, you should know that my father is dead! Now the whole world belongs to me, let alone you? My dear, I don't mind that you were once my mother's concubine! As long as you are willing, I will never let you down."
Jiang Caiping was excited: Ahhhhh! What kind of Qing Dynasty harem stepmother literature is this! I can, I can say I can!
But her face was still full of sorrow and sadness. She smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are joking. With my status as a concubine, how can Your Majesty live up to me? Your Majesty, don't you fear the criticism of the world?"
Hongshi is now a foolish and arrogant emperor. Seeing Jiang Caiping's pitiful appearance, he felt pity for her: "What is there to worry about? Didn't the emperor himself hold a beauty show within a hundred days of mourning for the late emperor? Didn't the wise Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty marry his father's concubine Wu Zhao? Your Excellency is asking this question, are you interested in accepting me?"
Jiang Caiping tried to refuse again, but before Hongshi got impatient, she finally burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your kindness. If Your Majesty does not abandon me, I am willing to stay by your side, and we will never be separated again."
Jiang Caiping had been a man herself, so she knew what men were like. If she wanted to make Hongshi impulsively make her his queen, she had to give him enough sweet treats.
After she said this, she leaned towards Hongshi shyly.
Hongshi is a young man full of vigor and vitality. Now, he is almost thirty years old and has never even held a little girl's hand. How can he resist the temptation of Jiang Caiping, a veteran in the love field?
Fat Orange hasn’t even passed his seventh birthday yet, but the hat on his head has already been increased by +1.
After being exposed by Hong Lang, Hongshi affectionately promised Jiang Caiping that he would go to the court tomorrow to propose the matter of making her the queen.
Jiang Caiping knew that this would not go so smoothly, so she coaxed Hongshi with soft words, gave him a shot of prevention in advance, and taught him how to deal with other people's protests in the court tomorrow. Hongshi agreed to all of her requests.
The next day, Hongshi proposed to make Pangju's noble lady his own queen, and everyone else in the court thought he had gone crazy.
Prince Heng was the first to object, but Hongshi looked at him with disappointment and said that he trusted his uncle so much and would always respond to whatever his uncle asked for and what he wanted. Did he make a mistake?
Alas, poor him, he had originally been sympathetic to the fact that his uncle and his younger brother had been separated from each other in the clan house for many years and had not been able to meet, so he was in the process of letting his ninth uncle leave the clan house and return home.
After hearing this, Prince Heng no longer objected. He was his biological brother, born of the same mother, and he had not caused as much trouble as the fourth and fourteenth brothers. Moreover, his mother kept muttering in her house every day, "I don't know if I can see the ninth brother for the last time before I die." Prince Heng dreamed of getting his biological brother out!
Forget it, he is not his son anyway, and the one he is going to marry is not his widow. His fourth brother was not very good to his brothers when he was alive, so why bother him about this?
Besides, Fourth Brother wears so many hats, what if he wears one more hat that of his own son?
After all, this is Fourth Brother’s only child. I believe that even if he knew about it, he would probably choose to “forgive him, of course.”
Prince Heng pretended to be mute, and the other ministers, who wanted to object, were silenced one by one by Hongshi using the rhetoric that Jiang Caiping had taught them in advance.
Hongshi was very proud. In the past, this group of ministers would always show off their knowledge and quote scriptures, which made him very confused. He felt like a fool sitting on the dragon throne. Today was finally his day to debate with the scholars!
Hongshi quickly set the date for his wedding with the Queen, which was ten days later. He thought to himself that he should listen to Caiping more in the future!
