Chapter 1126 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and forty-eight)
The emperor was extremely suspicious. Even though Concubine Tian stopped in time and all the clues of the murder of Concubine Jia pointed to the queen, the emperor still suspected that the person sleeping next to him was not a gentle and weak concubine, but a pretentious and vicious beauty.
The emperor's intentions are the indicator. People in the palace are good at guessing the thoughts of their superiors. Even if they don't follow the wind, they act on instinct, so the atmosphere in the palace is rather subtle.
Everyone knew that Concubine Tian was neglected by the emperor, so they behaved in a conscientious manner, and would not do any unnecessary flattery. Of course, they would not make enemies with the concubine, after all, Prince Ren was there.
There were many ministers in the court who proposed to establish a crown prince.
These ministers either wanted to curry favor with Zhao Yu in advance for the sake of the country or to add icing on the cake. The emperor said that Zhao Yu was young and inexperienced and not capable enough, and that it would take a few more years until he got married and had children and was in his twenties before they could talk about it.
And now, Zhao Yu is about to get married, and Concubine Tian is naturally happy. With the help of the Guo family, and if she can give Zhao Yu a concubine who is a civil official, it will be easier for her to control the court when her son ascends the throne.
In order to show her importance to Prince Ren's wedding, Concubine Tian specifically asked the emperor to go out of the palace with her to attend her son's wedding banquet, also to ease the relationship between the two.
The emperor felt that it was unreasonable. The queen had not even gone. Now the emperor thought of the queen's face. When things had gone wrong in the past, he had often humiliated the queen.
The queen now became magnanimous and persuaded the emperor to go, saying that she would take good care of the harem and inform the emperor as soon as there was any important matter.
On the day of Zhao Yu's wedding, with the Emperor and Consort Tian in attendance, Prince Ren's palace was bustling with activity. The capital's powerful nobles and officials were all present, giving Prince Ren a great deal of honor. Qingli and Wei Ying mingled among the guests. Even though they usually stood out for their status and appearance, they were now inconspicuous, as everyone was watching the Emperor's every move.
It was almost time for the couple to get married. Concubine Tian sat at the top, looking at the emperor next to her. She became more and more excited, as if she had really become the queen and could sit on equal footing with the emperor.
Most people think that the emperor loves Concubine Shigeta and her son too much. The recent rumors that the emperor treats Concubine Shigeta coldly must be false.
Qingli quietly asked her husband, "Is everything going well today?"
Wei Ying whispered, "Madam is curious, and so am I. Let's take a look."
A newlywed couple was slowly approaching from a distance. Zhao Yu, a man who had been involved in women at a young age, had a somewhat fat-headed and overconfidant look. Even though Concubine Tian was worried about the emperor's attitude and was afraid of problems, he didn't think much about it. He ate when he was supposed to, drank when he was supposed to, and brought any beautiful woman he met back to his house. He acted so arrogantly.
If it weren't for Concubine Tian's people watching over her, never allowing those women to get pregnant to avoid alienation from the Guo family, Guo Youbai might have had several illegitimate sons and daughters by now.
Zhao Yu, wearing his wedding attire, was not a handsome groom, and he looked at the bride next to him with a bit of disdain. However, now that his father, the emperor, and his mother were both present, he felt a little more proud and no longer had any dissatisfaction with his wife's appearance and personality.
Guo Youbai, who was standing next to her, had no expression on her face as she was covered by the veil. However, she was standing next to Zhao Yu, and her height was not much shorter than Zhao Yu. Her figure was neither slender nor plump, which still made many ladies look at her with complicated expressions.
Soon it was time for the wedding ceremony. Qingli was sharp-eyed and had already seen a senior eunuch talking to Chief Steward He Shi. His voice was a little loud and his expression was very urgent. She pulled Wei Ying's sleeve, without saying a word, but made eye contact with Wei Ying.
Wei Ying also saw it. He held his wife's white and tender hand and blinked calmly. Isn't the reversal coming?
When the emperor and Concubine Tian said something and stood up and left quickly, no one reacted. Why did His Majesty leave?
Is there an urgent report from the border?
Or something important.
Looking at Concubine Tian's expression, she looked like she wanted to eat someone.
Concubine Tian quickly adjusted her expression and said that His Majesty had important matters to attend to and she would leave first.
After the wedding ceremony was hastily concluded, Qingli heard someone quietly ask a friend, "Does this scene look familiar to you?"
