Chapter 114: Is there a surprise? It's a shock!
"Don't be so anxious. Sit down and talk first." Seeing Xiaoyanzi looking so anxious, Song Qing quickly asked her to sit down and talk properly.
"It's like this. Today the emperor came to Shufangzhai and told us a piece of news. He was planning to grant a marriage to Zhihua and Yongqi. When we heard the news, we panicked and thought of coming to you to discuss it. What's more, the most important thing is that the emperor said that this time he was notifying us, not asking us, and he will definitely make this marriage happen." Ziwei sat down with Xiaoyanzi and explained.
"You mean, the emperor has decided to grant Zhihua and Yongqi a marriage, and it won't be changed." Song Qing heard the news, feeling both expected and unreasonable. She had thought there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to be so soon! Zhihua has only been here for a few days? How could the marriage be confirmed so quickly? Isn't it too hasty? What stimulated the emperor to make this decision suddenly? What's more, he has always supported Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi. It's really strange to suddenly do this now.
"Yes, Qing'er, please help me. How can the emperor marry Zhihua to Yongqi? What's even more outrageous is that the emperor said that even if I marry Yongqi as a concubine, it will not affect my relationship with Yongqi." Xiaoyanzi looked at Song Qing aggrievedly and said.
"I really have no way to solve this problem now, but there may be other turning points. Let's wait and see. Moreover, I think the emperor suddenly gave you such a notice because something has affected him. Given the emperor's love for you, he has always been very supportive of you and Yongqi. Now it suddenly became like this, I think it must be related to the Empress Dowager's fainting this time." Song Qing didn't have any better solution, because this part of the plot might not be the same as before, and she couldn't remember the previous plot. She didn't pay much attention to this part at that time, so she couldn't remember it at all now.
"Okay, then we'll wait and see. Xiaoyanzi and I plan to talk to Zhihua to see if she can refuse this marriage. After all, Yongqi doesn't love her, and their marriage will not be happy." After listening to Song Qing's words, Ziwei expressed her own thoughts. She felt that Song Qing was more careful than herself and could think of more. She told Song Qing more of her ideas and let her check for omissions and fill in the gaps, so that they could get twice the result with half the effort.
However, if Song Qing knew that she had such a lofty image in Ziwei's heart, she would probably think that Ziwei thought too highly of her. If she could really be that good, she would have resolved this matter long ago.
"Although I think Zhihua may not listen to our advice, there is no harm in giving it a try. At least give ourselves a chance. When do you plan to go? Tiantian and I will go with you. Zhihua and I have been living in the Cining Palace these days, so we are a little more familiar with each other." Song Qing felt that it would be better if she went along. Although Xiaoyanzi was rarely impulsive and irritable now, there was no guarantee that she would not lose her temper one day. Ziwei would definitely not be able to control her alone. Going with Tiantian would help her solve the problem together.
"Okay, then let's talk about it before the emperor's edict comes down. After all, there is no edict yet. If it is issued, it will be useless for us to go." Ziwei felt that if she went too late, it would be too late. After all, the edict was not something else. Once it came down, it could not be withdrawn, and the emperor's authority could not be violated.
Song Qing also felt that the time was suitable, so she agreed.
"By the way, Qing'er, did you just wake up?" The matter was temporarily settled. Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei noticed Song Qing's clothes and condition. She was not dressed neatly as usual, and she had closed the door when they came just now.
"Oh, about that. Didn't Mr. Buddha faint yesterday? Then Tiantian and I took care of him together at night. We just came back and were about to take a rest. I didn't expect you to come." Song Qing explained with a smile.
"You haven't slept the whole night? Okay, you should rest quickly. Our problem has been solved, so you should rest quickly!" After hearing this, Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi hurriedly prepared to leave. It was a good thing that they came when Song Qing was not asleep. If they came later and Song Qing fell asleep, it would really disturb her sweet dreams.
Only after Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei left did Song Qing sleep peacefully.
On the other hand, Concubine Yu also received the news that the Emperor was going to grant a marriage to Yongqi and Zhihua. She was extremely happy. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time!
As soon as she saw Yongqi coming back, she hurried to share the news with her son. Of course, this news was good for her, but it was not very friendly to Yongqi!
"Yongqi! Yongqi! Come quickly, mother has good news to tell you." Concubine Yu said to Yongqi happily.
Yongqi felt something was strange when he saw his mother's unusual demeanor. It had been a long time since his mother had been so kind to him. Was the sun rising from the west today?
There is good news! What good news could it be? No matter what, he never expected that the following news would be so hard for him to accept.
"Mother, do you have any good news to tell me?" Although Yongqi felt strange about Concubine Yu's behavior, he still stepped forward and said.
"Today's news is great news. Your Royal Father is planning to grant you a marriage!" Concubine Yu only said half of what she said. Yongqi was very happy after hearing it. However, he thought that the Royal Father was planning to grant him and Xiaoyanzi a marriage. Unfortunately, before he could get too excited, he was poured with a basin of cold water. "Your Royal Father is planning to appoint Zhihua as your wife. Do you think this is good news?"
"What? Zhihua! Isn't it Xiaoyanzi?" Yongqi really felt a lot of ups and downs. His mood was like riding a roller coaster, up and down, so exciting.
She was just feeling smug, thinking that she and Xiaoyanzi were about to get married, but it turned out that she had thought too much, and it was even further away. He actually wanted to marry another woman! How could this be possible? He only liked Xiaoyanzi!
