The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

After hearing what Xie Zhichan said, He Zheng just supported his father silently, not knowing what else to say. Since even his mother was present, Xie Zhichan would definitely not dare to lie, otherwise, as long as he called his mother to confront him on the spot, the lie would be exposed.

Emperor Jingde now believed what Xie Zhichan said, but he was still having a headache about how to deal with the matter. He couldn't just reprimand his father after promoting his son, right?

Just when Emperor Jingde was having a headache, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine entered the Imperial Study one after another.

As soon as Concubine De entered the imperial study, she knelt down in front of Emperor Jingde and cried, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the He family!"

The Queen also knelt and said, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the Yao family!"

Emperor Jingde only felt that one sentence was echoing in his head today: "You have to make the decision for me"!

He is the Son of Heaven, the one who governs the country and the world, not a Bodhisattva who upholds justice for these women in the harem. Why do they all come to him for help?

He scolded, "Stop crying! Get up and give me a proper answer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two young eunuchs placed two more chairs next to He Kun and his son.

Concubine De came in a hurry today. She did not wear her usual complicated flower ornaments. She just asked the palace maid to comb her hair into a long bun and inserted a silver and kingfisher hairpin. When she walked, her movements were gentle and swaying, like a lazy and beautiful woman who just woke up from a nap.

The empress was dressed in formal attire and looked majestic. She wore a five-phoenix hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers and jewels, with five golden filigree phoenixes in front of it. She held pearls and gemstone tassels in her mouth, which was particularly gorgeous. She also wore a pair of golden dragon-holding-pearl earrings, all of which highlighted her status.

Xie Zhichan only took a quick glance at Concubine De and Empress Cao, and he knew that among the two, Empress Cao was the loser.

You have come to the emperor to complain and need to borrow your man's power to help you settle the matter. How can you still dress like a strong woman?

It's a pity for Empress Cao, who was clearly more beautiful than Concubine De, but she turned her advantage into a disadvantage.

Then, after Imperial Concubine De sat down, she said, "Your Majesty, the Empress's family is bullying our daughter from the He family!"

The Queen replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine De's sister was not disciplined herself. She seduced my nephew Yao and ruined his reputation, and now she wants to blame others for her mistakes!"

Emperor Jingde was in a state of panic, fearing that Xie Zhichan would also join in the discussion, and said, "I have already learned what you are talking about from the Princess of Yan. It is true that Minister He is not good at educating his daughter, and it is also true that Minister Yao is not good at educating his son."

That You Jingyu was the nephew of Empress Cao. His mother was Empress Cao's biological sister, and his father was the immediate superior of Xie Zhichan's foolish father, the Minister of Rites Yao Dongwang.

Xie Zhichan thought that since the Minister of Rites could give birth to a bastard like You Jingyu, he must be a fool. It seems that the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Dynasty only accepts fools. It's really a fool's father who opened the door for a fool. He is so foolish.

Xie Zhichan, who was concentrating on watching an ancient drama about wealthy families, suddenly heard Pei Yi say, "Your Majesty, I think we should congratulate Your Majesty."

As soon as he spoke, He Kun and his son, Concubine De and Empress Cao all sat up straight and became alert.

Although Pei Yi seldom made reports to the Imperial Palace, his reputation in the capital had been hated since he was a child, and any child from an aristocratic family who had provoked him would have a bad ending.

In this matter, He Ying attacked the Crown Prince's Consort. Even if Pei Yi has no feelings for her, he is also a protective person. Who knows what trap he will set for them!

Emperor Jingde asked, "What do you mean, my Lord?"

Pei Yi turned the white jade ring on his thumb and said, "Although I have stayed at home all day and never attended court, I have heard some rumors that are unfavorable to the court. It is said that the crown prince and the king of Qin have some conflicts, and there are some bad trends in the court. As a father, Your Majesty must be in a dilemma. This time, a good marriage happened to be presented to Your Majesty, which can help Your Majesty quell the rumors in the court and prevent Master Yao and Miss He from being caught up in rumors and gossip, which will make it difficult for them to live in the future. Isn't it a good thing?"

His voice was as gentle as jade, as if he was really talking about a great thing, an enviable marriage.

Emperor Jingde immediately understood that Yu Jingyu was the son of Empress Cao's sister, and He Ying was Concubine De's biological sister. If he issued an edict to facilitate this matter, it would mean that the harem was harmonious, that the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were a family, and it would also prevent the court officials from rushing to take sides.

Although he supported the He family to balance the Cao family, he did not want the two families to form cliques and fight in his court. He had to make them understand that this world belonged to the Li family and he was the banker.

Emperor Jingde smiled and said, "That's great! After all, one is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, and the other is the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites. They are a perfect match!"

Unexpectedly, Empress Cao, Concubine De, and He Kun and his son all shouted, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done!"

Emperor Jingde frowned and glanced at the four people, then asked, "Well? Why not? You guys tell me about it."

The four of them remained silent. What could they say? They were clearly enemies from two different camps. How could they be a good match?

This can only be understood in one's heart, but cannot be said in front of Emperor Jingde.

Emperor Jingde then said: "Since none of you can give a reason to object, this is settled."

Finally, he had solved a problem that had given him a headache. Emperor Jingde took a deep breath and felt relieved. It was not a joke that even an honest official could not settle family affairs.

Just as Emperor Jingde was about to ask everyone to leave, Xie Zhichan spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, you have already judged the case between Young Master Yao and Second Miss He, but you have not yet judged the case between me and Second Miss He."

Concubine De, He Kun and his son all stared at Xie Zhichan at once, and their eyes clearly said: What else do you want?

Although Empress Cao was angry at Emperor Jingde for his random matchmaking, she also put on an expression of enjoying the show as she saw the rare opportunity to watch the He family's good show.

Emperor Jingde then remembered that there was still a little panda complaining that he needed to get rid of, so he said, "Although Miss He Er plotted against you, she suffered the consequences herself, and your innocence was not damaged. What else do you want?"

Xie Zhichan said: "Even though I said that, I am still scared. I am frightened and I don't know when I can recover."

Pei Yi added: "If Your Majesty cannot make a decision, I will have no choice but to bring the Crown Prince's Consort to the He family to seek justice."

Emperor Jingde frowned and asked the two men, "What kind of justice do you want? Tell me now."

Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "People say that money can cure all diseases, and mental illness can be cured as well. I heard that Madam He has many shops in Kyoto. I am not greedy, I just want a rouge shop, a jewelry shop, and a ready-made clothing shop. I don't want to make a lot of money, but just to be able to dress myself up at any time, so that Miss He will not say that I am vulgar and unworthy of the Prince of Yan."

When Emperor Jingde heard this, he thought it was just three shops, so he gave them to him immediately. He did not even ask He Kun and his son, and directly said, "Then let the He family give you three shops."

Xie Zhichan added: "I heard that the East Market is the most prosperous. Can I ask the emperor to write a note for me to take over the three shops in the East Market? Only then will I dare to go to the He family to take over the shops."

Emperor Jingde just wanted to get rid of this most troublesome one as soon as possible, so he immediately ordered Eunuch Fu to prepare writing materials and wrote a note to Xie Zhichan on the spot, asking the He family to transfer one rouge shop, one jewelry shop, and one garment shop in the East Market to Xie Zhichan.

Concubine De and He Kun and his son were so angry that their eyes turned green, but they felt relieved when they looked at Empress Cao.

Even after they left the imperial study together, Empress Cao invited Xie Zhichan to come to the palace more often when he had time, saying that she also had a princess of the same age who would definitely get along well with her.

Instead, Xie Zhichan was so frightened that he pushed Pei Yi and ran away.

This palace is the place with the most wronged souls in the whole Jin Dynasty. Only a crazy person would want to come here to play!
