[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 292 of “(Quickly Wear) Baby You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]
by☆、Emperor Strategy 12
When Yao Ji rushed to the Chongying Palace, she was crying fiercely inside.The Queen Mother stood behind the desk, so angry that she wanted to bang the table, but she held it back, pointed at Xiao Shen who was standing next to her, and said, “I’ve betrayed you! Pull him over to me!” Huang Hu’er, the chief internal officer of Chongying Palace, pricked his hands aside. Seeing that he didn’t move, the Queen Mother became even more angry, “Huang Hu’er, didn’t you hear what I said?!”
“The Queen Mother, calm down, the Queen Mother, calm down…” Huang Hu’er could only approach Xiao Shen cautiously, complaining in her heart.You are so angry now that you are cruel, but when your anger subsides, you feel sorry for this little ancestor again. It is not the slaves who are unlucky.But of course he couldn’t say this, so he walked to Xiao Shen’s side with a smile on his face, “Don’t be upset, Your Highness, the Queen Mother is doing this for your own good.”
Xiao Shen cried so much that his whole face was red, and he was sobbing so much that he couldn’t breathe. When he saw Huang Hu’er coming to hug him, he pushed him away and ran out: “I don’t want you to hug me, go away! I want my brother, wuwu… my brother…”
When he cried like this, the Queen Mother became angrier and angrier. The hand pointing at him trembled: “You evil obstacle, you evil obstacle!”
Yao Ji happened to walk in, and when she saw this, she said: “What is the reason for the queen mother to be so angry? Erlang is still young, so he just needs to be taught well.”
As soon as Xiao Shen heard her voice, he cried and ran over to hug her legs: “Brother, I don’t want to be here anymore, brother wuwuwu…” He sobbed and grabbed the hem of Yao Ji’s robe. Because it was spring, the cuffs of the single shirt were wide, and the long sleeves fell down, revealing a child’s arms like tender lotus roots. There was a rouge-colored birthmark on it that was very eye-catching.
The Queen Mother’s expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but she stopped abruptly after she realized what she was doing.
At this time, Yao Ji had picked up Xiao Shen, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, pretending not to notice: “Okay… Erlang will go wherever he says he wants to go.” Finally, Xiao Shen was coaxed to stop crying, and she wanted to put Xiao Shen down, but the little boy dragged herHolding on to the lapel of her clothes, “Queen Mother,” Yao Ji could only say warmly, “Erlang is still a child, and he can be naughty. Why should the Queen Mother be angry?” She then coaxed Xiao Shen, “Erlang quickly apologize to the Queen Mother.”
However, Xiao Shen twisted his body and buried his head in Yaoji’s arms, refusing to come out. Princess Rongshou, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, suddenly said: “What the saint said is that the saint didn’t know that it was not a big deal in the first place. It was the queen mother who forced Erlang to do his homework. Erlang is only five years old and he is spoiled. No, the mother and son started to quarrel.”
Princess Rongshou didn’t know that Yao Ji knew that she had instigated Xiao Yu to rebel, and her usual conversation was straightforward and generous.Although Yao Ji wanted to deal with her, she couldn’t find an excuse for the moment, so she just took precautions secretly. When she heard this, she smiled slightly: “The Queen Mother has good intentions.”
For some reason, after hearing these words, the Queen Mother’s face became even more ugly. Princess Rongshou watched her words with great interest, and the smile in her eyes was very interesting.
Because Xiao Shen refused to stay in the Chongying Palace any longer, Yaoji had no choice but to take him out to play. The two “brothers” walked and talked at the same time. He was young and said some interesting and innocent children’s words, which made Yaoji laugh.
At that time, the emperor’s family was not the only one who came and went in the forbidden city during the day. With Taiji Palace as the boundary, the front and back palaces, and the Dazheng Palace were all surrounded by government offices.Xiao Shen wanted to see the big horse, so Yao Ji had to ask someone to bring the chariot and cross the square in front of the Dazheng Palace to go to the place where the royal guards performed martial arts.The group of people passed by the Political Affairs Hall and met Jiang Yong leading his staff out.Jiang Yong then danced and bowed in salute, and the royal chariot passed by him. Yao Ji signaled to the little yellow gatekeepers to stop for a moment, and said warmly: “No need to be polite, Prime Minister Jiang. Please get up.”
After the royal chariot had gone far away, all the officials said with emotion: “The saint is really very polite to my husband.”
Jiang Yong was only over 50 years old, even younger than Zhang Jingan, and had a good demeanor. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “You treat him like a national scholar, how can I not embrace him as a national scholar?”
The next day, he sent a memorial to the court, asking the emperor to marry and establish a queen, and to select a wide selection of harems.
The emperor is already fifteen years old. Although early marriage is not popular nowadays, the marriage of a king has a different meaning than that of ordinary people.A wedding signifies adulthood. At that time, the courtiers can naturally ask the emperor to take charge of the government. As long as they don’t want to completely break their relationship, the regent has to agree.
Yao Ji naturally understands this truth, and also knows that Jiang Yong may have just become the prime minister, and wants to accomplish this important event to show his ability, so she accepts Jiang Yong’s affection.But what about the last sentence of “big marriage and establishment of queen”, “wide selection of harem”?
She tried to tactfully express to the prime ministers that she did not want a harem, but Zhang Jingan said: “It is a blessing for the country that a saint does not like women, but the harem is related to the inheritance of the country, so please be careful.”
Yaoji had no choice but to use the excuse Xiao Yu had given her: “There was only one Empress Zhang in the harem of Emperor Xiaozong of the previous dynasty…”
“The saint has a clear lesson,” Jiang Yong interrupted her, “Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Zhang had five sons and two daughters when they were in the dormitory. Now the saint has no heirs, how can he not only spread the rain and spread the branches of the royal family.” Moreover, he did not say a word. The emperor’s grandfather and father were both poor heirs, and they only had one queen. Who knows whether the emperor can give birth to children.
Xiao Yu stood aside and rarely spoke. Yao Ji winked at him several times, but he pretended not to notice.She had no choice but to leave Xiao Yu alone to talk alone. As soon as everyone dispersed, Yao Ji snorted unhappily: “Isn’t Uncle Qi usually very sharp-tongued?”
Xiao Yu Shiran came closer and tried to catch her little hand with a smile, but was thrown away by the little emperor, “Yao Yao,” he was not annoyed, but changed the two people’s private titles, “You have always been smart, but you still can’t understand Jiang Yong’s intention?”
Yao Ji groaned angrily, knowing that what he said made sense. When he came to grab her hand again, she took advantage of the situation and let him hold it in his palm and knead it.
There is no rule in the dynasty that foreign relatives are not allowed to participate in politics, so the courtiers have always been very enthusiastic about sending daughters to the palace, especially those from aristocratic families.Yao Ji’s great-great-grandmother, great-grandmother, and grandmother were all daughters of aristocratic families. From Emperor Taizu to the last emperor in the previous dynasty, except for a rare two or three in the middle, the queens were all from aristocratic families – including Emperor Xiaozong’s wife, Empress Zhang, who was the ancestor of Zhang Jingan.
The existence of these female queens from aristocratic families undoubtedly shows the influence of the aristocratic families on the imperial power. In addition, the aristocratic families are constantly suppressed by Xiao Yu. In order to prevent them from completely declining, they will definitely try every means to exert influence on the young emperor, such as finding a teacher from a noble family for the emperor, or getting a bunch of concubines from aristocratic families for the emperor.
“Regardless of the second-rate families, there are six first-rate families alone,” Xiao Yu said with a faint smile, “The daughter of the Zhang family has become the queen, what about the daughter of the Jiang family? Even if the Jiang family does not have a suitable girl, there are still Qiu family, Chen family…”
“Stop, stop, stop,” Yao Ji interrupted with a headache, “But I’m like this…how can I bring in a bunch of concubines with unknown tendencies.” Everyone has their own little calculations, and Yao Ji doesn’t expect them to keep the secret if they know that her “husband” is a woman.
“Where is the candidate for the queen?” Xiao Yu changed the subject, “Yao Yao has thought about it.”
“Yes,” she nodded, “I am the young lady from the Duke of Qi’s family.”
Duke Guo of Qi was Ning Zong’s confidant. He was one of the few pure imperialists in the court who was neither biased towards the aristocratic family nor the regent.The Duke of Qi is now in charge of the royal forest. If he hadn’t been loyal, Yao Ji would not have given him such an important position.The girls in our family can be completely trusted.Just thinking about that girl being trapped in the palace from now on, Yao Ji felt guilty.
Sometimes she feels that she is getting more and more despicable. She knows that such a sacrifice is unfair to he people, but she still does it.How is this behavior different from the decision Li Zheng made last time?Li Zheng was doing it for the public good, but she was just trying to fulfill her promise to Ning Zong.
“You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish,” Xiao Yu smiled, “For you, glory and wealth are a kind of bondage, but for others, it may be something that can be exchanged for freedom of love.”
“What about you?” Yao Ji couldn’t help but ask him, “What is glory and wealth to you?”
“What is it…” He raised his head, looking through the bloody sun that was cut into pieces between the cracks in the window, as if he saw distant memories, “It’s something that originally belonged to me.”
