Chapter 252: Two people were detained and there is no way back
"Indeed." The Queen continued, nodding in agreement, "For what happened today, Liao Yunfei indeed deserves to be punished. I will punish her personally after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is over."
This leaves no room for refusal.
"Yes." The princess also expressed the attitude on behalf of everyone.
It looks like a compromise.
The Queen Mother looked at the Princess, and an unfathomable emotion flashed across her eyes.
The attitudes of the princess, Ji Chuhe and the Duke's Mansion made her very unhappy!
These people dared to be so arrogant over a small matter and cause a scene at her birthday party. It was obvious that they must have bigger evil intentions in their hearts!
That year, the princess broke off her engagement with the Luo family, and the Queen Mother intended to have the princess enter the palace as a concubine. The Duke's Mansion unanimously opposed this, and even established a relationship with the Prince of Huaiyang, and hastily married the princess to him.
If the princess does not enter the palace, the emperor will not be able to control the Duke's Mansion.
On the contrary, the Luo family sent Concubine Luo into the palace, and the descendants of the Luo family were deeply favored by the emperor, and each of them held an important position. Unlike the Duke's Mansion, apart from the title, even though the four sons were officials in the court, they did not have any real power.
This is what happens when you go against the Emperor!
Liao Yunfei's tense mood finally relaxed.
Xiao Yan'an wanted to say something, but the princess stopped him with a look.
The Queen Mother's voice rang out again, "Liao Yunfei is a legitimate daughter after all. Since I have granted her marriage, let her be the prince's concubine."
When the Queen Mother said this, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.
The difference between a concubine and a side room is not a little bit!
Especially Liao Yunfei herself, she couldn’t believe it and thought she was hallucinating!
The Queen Mother granted her the title of Xiao Yan'an's concubine, not just an ordinary concubine! She was filled with ecstasy.
Xiao Yan'an was pushed by the princess, and only then did he react and stepped forward to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for your reward." He suppressed his anger and expressed his gratitude calmly.
This matter finally came to a conclusion.
However, this result is puzzling.
The Queen Mother actually arranged a marriage for a little commoner girl and made her the prince's concubine. What a great honor this was giving her!
Moreover, everyone in Huaiyang Palace refused!
The Queen Mother's behavior is worth pondering carefully.
It seems that the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion have really lost the emperor's favor!
We will have to act according to circumstances in the future.
No one was quite sure about the Queen Mother's thoughts, but there was one thing that everyone was certain of.
That is Liao Yunfei, she is not an easy person to deal with. Whoever meets her will be unlucky!
"Your Majesty, since Liao Yunfei has become the prince's concubine, we cannot take her in as hastily as we would a concubine. We need to set a date to welcome her into the palace. As soon as your birthday banquet is over, I will take the people from the Huaiyang Palace back to Huaiyang. I will take Liao Yunfei back to Huaiyang first, and then find an auspicious day to welcome her into the palace." The princess spoke slowly.
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and it can be considered as a farewell to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
The princess also wanted to take her family and leave the imperial capital, a place of trouble, as soon as possible.
"Princess Huaiyang, I have something else I will tell you after the birthday banquet. I will take this opportunity to tell you today." The Queen Mother said calmly.
The princess suddenly felt uneasy.
Ji Chuhe's eyelids also twitched.
"I like An'er very much and want to keep him in the imperial capital for a while. What do you think, Princess?"
“Empress Dowager, you don’t know that this is the only son I and Prince Huaiyang have. I spoil him a little bit and leave him alone in the imperial capital. I’m afraid he will cause trouble.” The princess made a final struggle.
The Queen Mother clearly wants to hold Xiao Yan'an hostage in the imperial capital!
Ji Chuhe finally figured out why her eyelids had been twitching these past few days.
I'm afraid that the Queen Mother didn't just decide on impulse to detain Xiao Yan'an. As soon as they set out from Huaiyang, the Emperor and the Queen Mother had already decided to make sure Xiao Yan'an would never return.
Staying for a while longer is just an excuse. Xiao Yanan will probably be held hostage in the imperial capital for the rest of his life!
This never happened in my previous life, but in this life, such changes have occurred.
It seems that her behavior in this life has caused a great change to the trajectory of her previous life, and the person who is most deeply bound to her, the greater the impact.
Ji Chuhe quietly looked at the princess's expression.
This incident was a devastating blow to my father and mother.
Xiao Yanan is the person that his father and mother care about most in their lives. His life and death are in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor wants to punish them, will they dare to resist?
“Princess, you still don’t quite understand what I mean. I don’t want the prince to stay alone. His wives and concubines can all stay with him.” The Queen Mother said directly.
After saying that, he looked at Ji Chuhe, "Madam, you are also deeply loved by me."
No matter how calm the princess was, she was no longer calm at this moment!
"Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince's wife is in charge of the general affairs of the Huaiyang Palace. It is better to leave the Crown Prince alone and let him have some good experience in the imperial capital." The princess said immediately.
"Yes, Queen Mother, I can stay in the imperial capital alone. Leaving too many people around would be a burden." Xiao Yan'an said, and looked at Liao Yunfei, "Miss Liao doesn't have to go back to Huaiyang. Let her stay in the imperial capital with me."
Xiao Yan'an would never agree to let Ji Chuhe accompany him into danger!
He alone is enough to be the hostage!
He wants to protect Ji Chuhe!
"You are so bold that you don't even take me seriously. How dare you disobey me like this!" The Queen Mother was suddenly furious and put a big hat on them.
"Princess Huaiyang, this is why you don't know the rules. The Queen Mother is so noble. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are blessed in their previous lives to be in her favor! Not only are you ungrateful, but you even dare to make excuses! Isn't this disobedience?" Concubine Luo immediately interjected.
"I have absolutely no such intention." The princess clarified word by word.
"Princess, if you are worried about the prince staying alone in the imperial capital, I will let his wives and concubines stay with him. What's wrong with that?" the queen mother asked again.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I am willing to stay and accompany the Prince!" Ji Chuhe suddenly interrupted.
"He'er!"
"lady!"
Ji Chuhe's words made both the princess and Xiao Yan'an lose their composure.
"The Queen Mother is so kind to the Crown Prince and me, I am flattered. It is an honor for the Crown Prince and me, and even more so for everyone in the Huaiyang Palace, to accompany the Queen Mother. How dare your mother refuse? I am just afraid that the Crown Prince and I don't know the rules and offend the Queen Mother. I hope you will understand." Ji Chuhe stated her position respectfully.
To prevent Concubine Luo from being like a mad dog and biting whenever she gets the chance.
