After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Emperor Yonghui's granting of marriage caused dissatisfaction among many people, among whom the one with the strongest reaction came from the Empress Dowager, who had been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the Jiashou Palace.

"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"

The Queen Mother's furious voice rang out. The palace maids of Jiashou Palace waited from afar, and even Jiang Yinghe did not dare to step forward.

Over the years, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yonghui were loving and filial to each other, and even the most demanding historians praised the deep love between them.

But no one expected that this time, the Empress Dowager would specially summon Emperor Yonghui to Jiashou Palace and scold him harshly...

"How can an uncle marry his nephew's fiancée in this world? Your Majesty, if you do this, aren't you afraid that our royal family will become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world?"

"This Xiao Xuetang used to be quite well-behaved, but now she has harmed so many people. She even dared to seduce the Regent. She is simply a beauty who brings disaster."

At the palace banquet that day, the empress dowager did not dare to say a word to Lin Xun, who looked angry. But at this time, the empress dowager knew that Emperor Yonghui was filial and obedient to him, so she flew into a rage.

If an outsider were present at this time, he would naturally be very surprised to see that the empress dowager, who was always so kind and gentle, actually had such a cruel and mean side.

Emperor Yonghui couldn't care less at this moment. He valued family affection very much and was afraid that the empress dowager would get angry and get sick. He comforted her while saying, "Mother, calm down. Shaoshu and Xuetang have already broken off their engagement. Besides, Shaoshu was at fault first..."

Although Emperor Yonghui was not very satisfied with Xiao Xuetang, he felt that Lin Xun's status and position made him suitable for a better woman, but who could have made Lin Xun choose this one?

Now that the imperial edict has been issued, Emperor Yonghui should still try his best to protect Xiao Xuetang to prevent more unpleasant words from spreading outside that would be detrimental to Lin Xun.

The Queen Mother did not expect that Emperor Yonghui would actually speak in Xiao Xuetang's favor. She had originally only pretended to be sick, but now her expression became even uglier...

"The marriage between Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu was personally arranged by the late emperor. Now you are arranging the marriage between Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun. Where do you think the late emperor should be? We are where we are today because of the late emperor... Your brother paved the way for us with his own life. As the Son of Heaven, you openly violate his last wish!"

"Your brother had no children in his lifetime, and he handed the country to you. Are you unwilling to fulfill even one of his last wishes?"

Thinking of her eldest son who died young, the empress dowager was overwhelmed with grief, her eyes turned red, and she actually shed tears.

After hearing this, Emperor Yonghui looked even more terrified, and hurriedly said, "Mother, these words really embarrass your son."

"When the eunuch party was in power, my brother protected the palace and you until his death. How dare I forget such a deep brotherly love. I have already ordered the extermination of all nine clans of the eunuch party. Even the Emperor Ai who usurped the throne, I disregarded the ancestral etiquette and abolished his title. This was all for revenge for the late emperor!"

According to etiquette, even though Emperor Ai was a puppet emperor and his usurpation of the throne was not legitimate, he was still a descendant of the Lin family. However, Emperor Yonghui ordered him not to be buried in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and even did not allow the Ministry of Rites to propose a posthumous title for him, and even did not allow him to be recorded in the imperial history books, which was completely against etiquette.

At that time, many officials of ceremony and civil affairs committed suicide to protest against this, and the leader among them was Master Xie and the Xie family...

In the end, Emperor Yonghui insisted on his own opinion and demoted Taifu Xie. In addition, Lin Xun was behind Emperor Yonghui and did not object to this matter, so it became a foregone conclusion.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Emperor Yonghui still looked very respectful when he mentioned the late emperor, her originally angry expression eased a little and she said, "Back in the harem, Empress Yiren was mean. Not long after I gave birth to you, she took you away. You didn't stay with me for a few years like the late emperor did. I don't blame you for not being close to me."

When the Empress Dowager complained about her own mistakes, Emperor Yonghui said in panic, "Mother, please don't say that. It embarrasses me."

The Queen Mother said to herself: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a close relationship with me, but you must remember the late emperor, and remember how difficult it was for you two brothers to support each other in the palace..."

Emperor Yonghui, who was already in his forties, could not help but be moved when he heard this. He said, "Back then, Empress Yiren was in control of the harem. My brother was only two years older than me, but he was the one who protected me."

"It was winter and we were short of food and clothing in the palace. My brother found a steamed bun and gave it all to me, lying to me that he had already eaten it. But I clearly saw him secretly drinking snow water in the middle of the night..."

When Emperor Wuzong was in power, he was obsessed with seeking immortality and the harem was controlled by Empress Yiren, who killed concubines and princes at will.

Later, if the old princess had not entered the palace and accidentally discovered their plight, and found a pretext to bring them to Shuiyunju to raise them, I am afraid that the two brothers would not have survived to adulthood under the rule of Queen Yiren!

Emperor Yonghui always remembered this kindness.

As for Emperor Yonghui and Emperor Huaimin, it was this brotherly love that supported each other in the difficult situation of the cold palace that made them have an extraordinary deep relationship...

Emperor Yonghui would carry out the late emperor's last wish without any hesitation.

Therefore, when Lin Shaoshu learned from Ye Jin that the late emperor's will left at Ganlu Temple might be to pass the throne to Lin Xun, he was so frightened that he was numb.

He knew that his father might actually abdicate after seeing the will!

That's why he temporarily stopped fighting and joined forces with the Eastern Palace. They all had a common goal, which was to never let the imperial decree/truth of Ganlu Temple be made public...

Now that Xiao Yi has been exiled, the controversy over the imperial edict hidden in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has come to an end.

However, the imperial decree of Emperor Yonghui granted the marriage, which pushed Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun to the forefront...

"The marriage decree has been issued. I'm sure my mother doesn't want me to be a disloyal monarch."

Emperor Yonghui tried every possible means to persuade the Empress Dowager, and seeing that her expression was not as grim as it was at the beginning, he began to negotiate with her.

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "The imperial decree was issued so vigorously and vigorously. It must have been Lin Xun's idea. He..."

The Empress Dowager originally wanted Emperor Yonghui to be on guard against Lin Xun, but she also knew that her son was kind-hearted and gullible, and treated Lin Xun as a person left behind by the previous emperor and trusted him very much.

When the words came to her lips, she turned around and finally did not dwell on the marriage. After laying out so much, she finally made her intention clear...

"Since you want to marry Xiao Xuetang to Lin Xun, I will not stop you. But this matter hurts Shao Shu's reputation after all, so you have to give him some compensation. He has been an adult for so long, it's time for him to be crowned a king and have his own mansion established."

Emperor Yonghui also had this plan in mind regarding the title of King of Lin Shaoshu and the establishment of a palace. He was not embarrassed to hear the Queen Mother's words, and said, "Of course, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to propose a title for Shaoshu..."

"Shao Shu's biological mother is your first wife after all. He is different from the King of Yue. You should personally come up with his title."

When Emperor Yonghui mentioned Concubine Xie, he was moved and said, "Okay!"

Then the Queen Mother said, "Also, the Emperor should reconsider Shaoshu's marriage..."

At this point, the Queen Mother's eyebrows drooped slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes that were usually peaceful and indifferent to the world...

Almost at the same time, in the dead silent Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Ye Jin stroked his still flat belly with a gloomy look on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking!
