Chapter 109 Rumors
"I know you are doing this for my own good, but there are some things you really don't know." Jiang Yunxi thought of her past life and felt that she was not the only one who underestimated Zhao Changyu.
Everyone underestimated Zhao Changyu.
Therefore, she remained vigilant and did not dare to relax at all.
Nan Nan knew that Jiang Yunxi would not listen to her, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
"Grandma..." Jiang Yunxi rested her head on Jiang Xueyi's legs and acted like a spoiled child, "It's really hard to describe today..."
"I heard that you brought the princess back." Jiang Xueyi had many eyes and ears in the palace and had heard some rumors.
"I... really ran into her by chance. I just wanted to go to the West Market to buy some snacks, but I didn't expect to run into her." Jiang Yunxi sighed slightly, "It's been less than a month since we got married, and I didn't expect that she couldn't stand it. I can't imagine what a blow she has suffered."
Jiang Xueyi also sighed slightly, "Alas... she just met the wrong person."
"Actually, I'm not worried about her. The Queen has always loved her. I think even if you force Your Majesty, she will cancel this marriage."
Jiang Yunxi had a feeling that after knowing that Sun Jian was related to the eldest prince, Queen Meng Jingshu would never allow Concubine Xian and the eldest prince to harm her daughter.
"Yes, after all, it is their family affair, and I cannot interfere. But the Queen has always loved Yaer too much and will not leave her alone." Jiang Xueyi stroked her hair.
Jiang Yunxi thought, in this way, Zhao Ya was saved, she was saved, but Zhao Changyu was stuck in the mud and could never get out.
Nan Nan's words suddenly came to her mind, and she couldn't help but ask herself, "Am I really too harsh on him?"
As Zhao Changyu expected, Emperor Zhao Changta did not agree to the divorce between Princess Zhao Ya and Sun Jian.
But the emperor divided the princess's mansion into two parts, with the western part for the Sun family to live in and the eastern part for Zhao Ya to live in.
Queen Meng Jingshu blocked all the routes between the two sides as Zhao Ya requested, preventing the Sun family from having the opportunity to sneak to the east to bully Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya stayed in the palace under the pretext of renovating the princess's mansion.
One day, the storytellers on the streets suddenly started telling a story as if they had discussed it together: the princess had an affair with a guard and lost her innocence, but was then granted the title of a new Jinshi by the emperor.
After the marriage, the husband knew that the princess was not chaste, but he still stayed with her; but the princess began to have an affair and stayed away from home every day.
Passersby listened to this story with great interest.
The story spread among the people in an instant.
Everyone was speculating: Is the princess in the story Princess Wen Ya of this dynasty?
After listening to Nan Nan's story, Jiang Yunxi was shocked: "Isn't this Ya'er's story? Who spread this story? It is very likely that it was spread by the Sun family. After all, the changes in the story are all beneficial to the Sun family. This does not give Zhao Ya any face at all!"
Nan Nan nodded: "It is true that the eldest prince and the virtuous concubine fanned the flames, but it is impossible to verify where the story originated from."
Jiang Yunxi pursed her lips, "The virtuous concubine is now in the prime of her life. She just squeezed out Zhao Zheyong, and now she wants to take action against the prince."
Jiang Yunxi thought, in this dynasty, the legitimate son is made the crown prince. If Meng Jingshu is no longer the queen, the position of the crown prince will no longer be justified.
The virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan probably wanted to first squeeze out Meng Jingshu's position as queen, and then become queen herself, so that the eldest prince could become the crown prince legitimately.
Queen Meng Jingshu has not made any big mistakes in recent years. To be more specific, Meng Jingshu has done almost nothing in recent years:
Any big banquets were handed over to the Zongzhengfu, and the management of the harem was handed over to the subordinates. They did not deliberately murder concubines and princes, nor did they interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty...
It almost eliminates the possibility of making mistakes.
If Concubine Wei Yanyan wanted to find fault, she had to start with Meng Jingshu's most beloved daughter.
As long as it is proven that Zhao Ya's personal morality is corrupt, it can be said that Queen Meng Jingshu is morally deficient and fails to discipline her children strictly.
Even worse, Zhao Ya's incident could lead to the discovery that the queen also had an affair with someone else, forcing Zhao Changta to depose Meng Jingshu from the position of queen.
Jiang Yunxi sighed inwardly, thinking, "This time, Concubine Xian didn't leave any room for the Queen. She was also plotting against Zhao Changta and forcing him to depose the Queen."
"But, Concubine Xian forgot one thing. Zhao Changta is not the one who will be coerced later!"
Jiang Yunxi let out a faint sigh.
When Queen Meng Jingshu heard the story circulating in the streets, she could no longer sit still for the first time and went to Emperor Zhao Changta to plead for her.
Emperor Zhao Changta naturally knew about this earlier than Empress Meng Jingshu. He certainly knew that the eldest prince and Concubine Xian had instigated this matter. He was also hesitant, not knowing how to appease Empress Meng Jingshu and Crown Prince Zhao Zheqi.
The queen stormed into Qianning Palace, glaring at Zhao Changta, her breathing rapid, as if there was a fire in her heart that was about to erupt at any moment.
Seeing this, Zhao Changta seemed to be hesitant. After a while, he sent everyone in the palace out.
"Queen, would you like some tea?" Zhao Changta pretended to be ignorant and greeted Meng Jingshu enthusiastically.
Meng Jingshu knelt down and said to Zhao Changta, "Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything, but this time, I really ask you for it."
Zhao Changta put down the hand holding the teacup silently, "You say."
"Your Majesty is well-connected, it's impossible that he doesn't know about Yaer's affairs that are spreading outside. Yaer first encountered villains and then had a conflict with her husband. It was already unfortunate enough, but unexpectedly, there are still people who would not let her go and even made her story into a drama for people to sing. Do those people want to force her to death?" Meng Jingshu's eyes were slightly red.
"Those jokes never directly mentioned Ya'er, and there are many big discrepancies with Ya'er's story. If we ignore them, the matter will soon disappear after the people's enthusiasm fades. If we specifically punish those who spread the rumors, it will only make the matter more obvious. For now, as long as Ya'er stays in the princess's mansion honestly and acts in harmony with her husband, those rumors will naturally fall apart." Zhao Changta wanted Zhao Ya to go back to the princess's mansion.
Meng Jingshu found it unbelievable that Zhao Changta had no regard for the feelings between family members or the grievances Zhao Ya had suffered, and actually wanted Zhao Ya and Sun Jian to reconcile.
"Your Majesty, Ya'er is my life. No one can bully her."
