After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Queen Xue kept pacing back and forth. She couldn't understand how Emperor Xuanwen could be so cruel to his own son!

No matter how much Xie Junyao did wrong, he should not be expelled from the capital and could not return without an imperial edict.

No matter which prince will succeed to the throne in the future, with Emperor Xuanwen's decree in place, there is no possibility that Xie Junyao will be reused.

After all, a prince who was disliked by the previous emperor, and a legitimate prince at that, would naturally be best sent away, so that the new emperor would not have to worry about him.

"No, I have to go see His Majesty, he can't do this to Old Seven!"

Before she finished speaking, Queen Xue walked out.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by several guards.

Queen Xue glared at them, "I am still the Queen, your Majesty's first wife, how dare you stop me from seeing your Majesty?!"

The guards bowed their heads respectfully and refused to move aside.

Queen Xue was so angry that she turned around in circles and threatened to drag these guards out and chop them into pieces.

But after shouting for a long time, no one paid any attention to her.

Li Dezhong walked behind Empress Xue and whispered, "Empress, His Majesty has ordered that you may not leave the palace without an imperial decree.

Without the imperial decree, you are not allowed to see the emperor."

Without the imperial decree, you are not allowed to leave the palace? !

Without the imperial edict, no one can see the emperor? !

Then what is the difference between the Central Palace and the Cold Palace? !

What's the difference between her as the queen and the deposed queen? !

"Empress, His Majesty has also ordered you to copy the Palace Rules a thousand times. When you have finished copying, you can leave the palace."

Empress Xue took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "The Palace Rules are half an arm thick. If I write every day, it will take a month to finish it.

Twelve times a year, a thousand times, I can never finish copying them even if I die!

Is it true that if I can't finish copying, I will die?!"

Li Dezhong lowered his head, still with a calm expression and a calm voice, "Your Majesty, I am only here to convey your Majesty's will.

As for how often you copy it, I have no say in that."

Empress Xue sneered, "Didn't His Majesty ask me to choose a wife for the Seventh Prince within three days and arrange the wedding before he leaves the capital?"

"I will not leave the main palace gate, how can I choose, what's wrong?!"

"Your Majesty," Li Dezhong paused, "Your Majesty has ordered someone to send the portrait of the minister's daughter of marriageable age to you later. Please take a look at it yourself.

Once it is decided, His Majesty will issue an edict.

His Majesty said that this is the second wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, so there is no need for a grand ceremony, just a sedan chair will be carried into the Prince Duan's mansion."

Queen Xue was so angry that her face turned pale. What do you mean the second wedding doesn't need to be so grand? Then isn't Xiao Yunxi's wedding her second wedding?

Her wedding with Mo Ruochen was a grand one. The dowry alone weighed 200 loads, making her the most expensive in the Dali period!

A sedan chair was also sent to Prince Duan's palace. Even the concubines were more grand than this!

How can this be considered marrying a principal wife?

Empress Xue felt a sweet taste in her mouth and was about to ask when she heard Li Dezhong continue:

"Empress, His Majesty has said that you should not bring up the wedding of Princess Dingyuan and Prince Dingyuan.

You know very well why Princess Dingyuan got married for the second time.

The Ministry of Rites did not violate any regulations during the process.

The dowry of Princess Dingyuan and the betrothal gift of Prince Dingyuan are their own. They have nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, and even less to do with you.

His Majesty said that if you care about your son, you can buy it yourself."

The queen closed her eyes and calmed down for a moment. "He is his son too. Doesn't he care about anything?!"

In three days, even if she took out all her own money, what would it be of any use? !

"Hasn't His Majesty already issued an order granting the marriage?"

Li Dezhong replied confidently, and Empress Xue was so angry that she couldn't help but swear:

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Li Dezhong bowed deeply and said, "Empress, the portrait will be here soon. After you have chosen the principal wife for Prince Duan, I will have to go back and report.

Please allow me to get out later."

Queen Xue felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fell down.

The senior palace maid Shaoyao and Nanny Jiang hurried forward to support him.

Queen Xue sat back on the phoenix chair, leaning back listlessly.

After a while, several young eunuchs came in with a dozen scrolls of portraits.

They stood in front of Queen Xue one by one and unfolded the portrait.

Queen Xue took a quick look and realized that regardless of their looks, these women did not come from high-class families.

The best is the second daughter of a third-rank military general.

There is actually the daughter of a small county magistrate in a remote border town, and the daughter of a seventh-rank lieutenant general!

In the past, these women were not even qualified to be Prince Duan’s concubines!

Now she is the candidate for the queen!

The veins on Empress Xue's forehead were exposed, and she said in a grim tone, "These women are of humble origins, how can they be worthy of the position of the principal wife of Prince Duan!"

"Empress," Li Dezhong replied, "Your Majesty said that we should marry virtuous wives and concubines beautiful women. The previous Duan Wangfei had a bad character.

These women are all virtuous, well-mannered, and suitable as good matches.”

Bullshit! The daughters of these petty officials are only qualified to make up the numbers in the beauty pageant. Unless they are extremely beautiful, it is basically just a formality.

Now, she has become the best candidate for the princess.

How could an emperor who rarely left the palace know the character of the daughters of these unknown minor officials?

There are more than a dozen candidates at once. Emperor Xuanwen must have been preparing for a long time. Could it be that he has already looked down on Xie Junyao?

The more Queen Xue thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more disappointed she became.

She and Emperor Xuanwen could be considered a couple who shared adversity. They got married when they were teenagers and supported each other all the way.

Although there was some rift between her and the eldest princess, how could Emperor Xuanwen be so partial to her?

Xie Yuanfeng is his biological sister and Xiao Yunxi is his biological niece.

But I am also his first wife, and Xie Junyao is his biological son!

Isn't it too much to turn your elbows outward?

Li Dezhong saw that Empress Xue's face was livid and she looked thoughtful, so he knew that she was thinking about something wrong again.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In recent years, the Queen Mother has become more and more willful and has a tendency to get stuck on everything.

Before she became the Queen, she had a very harmonious relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal.

After becoming the queen, she changed a lot. She always wanted to step on the eldest princess and provoked her again and again.

But the Queen never thought that the eldest princess had followed the late emperor to conquer the world, and had risked her life many times for the current emperor.

There were many times when I narrowly escaped death.

Your Majesty was raised by the eldest princess. How can the relationship between you and him be compared to that of an ordinary person?

Even the Queen Mother can’t do it!

Besides, the eldest princess's temper was bred by both the late emperor and the current emperor.

To be honest, in Emperor Xuanwen's heart, the eldest princess was much more important than the empress, the prince, or even the empress dowager.

Because the queen and the queen mother both have maternal families, they will also consider their maternal families more.

But Xie Yuanfeng’s surname is Xie, and he is a staunch defender of the Xie family’s kingdom.
