On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

Li Xuan went into the palace with full confidence to ask for permission.

At this time, the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Regent were drinking tea and chatting together.

The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Because the Regent was present, the Emperor was not only very compliant, but also respectful to the Queen Mother.

From time to time, he would personally pour tea for the Empress Dowager and peel candy wrappers.

He can even act out filial piety by patting the waist and back to please others in a deliberate way.

It was just that the force was a little too strong. The Queen Mother didn't dare to ask for it a second time after enjoying it the first time, so she asked him to return to his seat.

However, the emperor was irritable and disobedient a few days ago, but he has become filial since his uncle entered the palace. Although the empress dowager hid her surprise in her heart, she still looked like she liked this situation.

As long as she and her in-laws' family remain powerful, life will be peaceful.

The Queen Mother knew that the Regent was a vegetarian and a Buddhist, with no desires or requests. Although she was still wary of him now, it was not much.

Because the Regent's mother had no family support, and in all the dynasties before the Xia Kingdom, there had never been an uncle who seized the imperial power from his nephew, so he would not dare to do so.

What's more, the Regent also respects her as his biological mother.

There are eight princes outside who are eyeing the throne covetously. The queen uses the throne as bait to divide them. Even if the eight princes rise up against each other to fight for the throne in the future, no one can inherit the throne without her, the queen dowager's order, to preside over the situation.

The Queen Mother was very proud that she could play with them at her will and make them all flatter and obey her.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Regent, Prince Liang requests an audience!" the eunuch outside the palace reported loudly.

"Uncle, should I meet Prince Liang?" The emperor first asked the regent.

Li Yi: "This is a family matter. Your Majesty, please consult the Queen Mother first."

The emperor then obediently asked the Queen Mother, "Mother, do I want to see the Prince of Liang?"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Please ask him to come in."

After the eunuch passed the message, Prince Liang stepped into the palace, bowed respectfully, and said straight to the point: "Mother, Your Majesty, I come to the palace to ask for your permission to marry me."

The three were surprised.

Li Yi put down the teacup and looked at him meaningfully.

"Which daughter does Prince Liang like?" the Queen Mother asked first.

The Queen Mother has ten nieces from her brothers' families who are still unmarried, and she is planning to give each prince a princess.

In the future, she will be able to better monitor the words and deeds of each prince, and no one will be able to rebel under her nose.

"She is Ning Qingfeng's daughter, who just turned 15 this year." Li Xuan said, "I saw her the day I entered the capital, and I fell in love with her at first sight."

When Li Yi heard this, the gentle look on his face suddenly disappeared.

He picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

When it goes down my throat, I notice a bit of astringency.

Unexpectedly, King Liang also discovered that Doctor Luo was a woman disguised as a man.

She actually proposed to him before him.

"How could the daughter of Marquis Ning meet a man outside of his family in private? When did Prince Liang become friends with Marquis Ning?" The Queen Mother did not believe in love at first sight and guessed that Prince Liang must have set his eyes on the military power of the Minister of War.

Or have the two families already colluded secretly and are in cahoots with each other?

Thinking of this, she wanted to dismiss Ning Qingfeng again!

King Liang did not expect the Queen Mother to object so strongly, so he lied, "I have no friendship with the Ning Marquis. I got to know the Ning Marquis after meeting his daughter first."

As for whether his daughter was dressed as a man, he had never seen her dressed as a woman, so it was not convenient for him to say anything about the details.

"What does the Regent think about this situation?" The Queen Mother smiled lightly and gave the Regent the opportunity to be the bad guy.

The Regent must have known that she disapproved of the marriage.

"No." Li Yi rejected it directly. "Marquis Ning has just taken up the post of Minister of War, and is a close minister to His Majesty. The King of Liang is now eager to marry his daughter. Is he trying to trap him in rumors?"

"When attending court today, the Ning Marquis was mocked by the ministers for having gained power by currying favor with Your Majesty. He is already a lonely minister. King Liang, please do not add insult to injury."

Li Yi said this to clear the relationship between Ning Qingfeng and Prince Liang in front of the Queen Mother. The two families were not familiar with each other.

Moreover, in Li Yi's opinion, King Liang had bad intentions.

He was the one who met Ning Qingfeng's daughter first.

How can we allow others to covet it?

The emperor nodded, "The regent is right. Prince Liang is not allowed to marry Lord Ning's daughter."

Li Yi didn't expect to be collectively opposed by these three people.

But thinking of the consequences of not marrying that woman, he still insisted:

"Please, mother, make the decision for me. I am truly devoted to Miss Ning and will not marry anyone else but her."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but chuckle, "Then Prince Liang should not marry. The responsibility of raising royal heirs does not fall on you alone."

You bastard, why are you pretending to be affectionate in front of her? There is no man who is not lustful. They all forget the girl they meet after meeting her.

"Last time, Marquis Ning would rather resign his office and lose his title than let his daughter enter the palace. Do you, the prince, still want to get ahead of the emperor?"

"The eldest princess and Madam Ning are like sisters. The eldest princess will make her own arrangements for the Ning Marquis' daughter's marriage. No one else should worry about it!"
