Chapter 173 Complaint
======Cining Palace======
"Tell me, what's going on?" Jiang Xueyi took the tea handed over by Jiang Yunxi, "Then the Princess of Nanli became a female official in the palace? She's neither up nor down, what... is this?"
Jiang Yunxi gently massaged Jiang Xueyi's legs, "I can understand why Princess Nanli is so resistant to this marriage. I remember that the late emperor also wanted to let the princess go to the west to marry, but the princess was too young and the queen was reluctant, so he gave up. I was not in the palace at that time. If I was, I am afraid that His Majesty would let me marry far away instead of the princess. It is naturally difficult for her to think about marriage after coming from a long distance and not even seeing her husband. I think that if the princess is made a female official first, she may change her mind after a long period of getting along with him."
"Did you come up with this idea?" Jiang Xueyi raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"It was Lord Mu's idea." Jiang Yunxi replied calmly without changing his expression.
"Your Majesty has agreed. What can I do? According to my opinion, marriage is the best way to consolidate the alliance between the two countries." Jiang Xueyi shook her head, "At least Nan Li will take this princess into consideration when he wants to start a war next time."
"If they really cared about the princess, they wouldn't have sent her so far away. I'm afraid that the moment Emperor Nanli issued the decree, he would abandon his daughter, right?" Jiang Yunxi sighed, "Those nice excuses are all false. They are heartless after all."
------------
"Empress Dowager, please make the decision for me... That Princess Nanli is really going too far. Not only has she taken away my job of serving in the imperial court, but she has also been disrespectful to Your Majesty. I... isn't this an slap in the face of the Empress Dowager?" Chu Xia knelt beside Jiang Xueyi, crying and complaining with exaggeration.
Jiang Yunxi felt quite bored, so he picked up a piece of snow vegetable and put it into the porridge, then scooped a mouthful of the porridge and drank it.
Jiang Xueyi didn't say anything and put down her chopsticks.
"You are in a bad mood early in the morning." Jiang Yunxi put down the spoon and said coldly, "The Queen Mother sent you to His Majesty because she saw that there was no one beside him and you happened to be an old acquaintance of Prince An's Mansion, so she chose you. You are not favored by His Majesty because you are not motivated, but you blame others. What? Do you want the Queen Mother to stand up for you? To instigate the relationship between the Queen Mother and His Majesty? To punish His Majesty's sweetheart?"
"As long as His Majesty has someone by her side, it doesn't matter who it is. The Queen Mother's duty has been fulfilled. You don't even consider your own status. You don't think about how to please the Queen Mother so early in the morning. Instead, you come to make things difficult for her and make her unable to even have a good breakfast."
Jiang Yunxi picked up the spoon and stirred the porridge. "If I hadn't seen that you were an old acquaintance of Prince An's Mansion, I would have ordered someone to punish you directly."
Chu Xia looked at Jiang Yunxi's stern face, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
She knew that Jiang Yunxi would keep his word.
"Yun Xi is right, Chu Xia. I took you to His Majesty because His Majesty's harem was empty a year after he ascended the throne. The ministers of the previous dynasty begged me every day to choose a concubine for His Majesty, but His Majesty never agreed. I thought that you had been with him for so long, you would understand his preferences and be able to serve him well, so I sent you to him. Now it seems that you do not please His Majesty, so I can add a dowry for you and send you out of the palace to prepare for marriage. Since Princess Nanli, there have been many women of marriageable age in the capital. If a beauty pageant is held in the future, I don't think you will be able to win a place for yourself. It is better for you to leave early." Jiang Xueyi's words were definitely for Chu Xia.
