Chapter 257 The prince has the final say on who will enter the Eastern Palace

No one expected Yun Tang to say such vulgar words. Everyone was stunned...

Yuntang didn't care, he just felt that someone was being unreasonable.

Princess Kangning and Princess Kangyi, as the legitimate daughters of the prince and orthodox royal family members, actually had their eyes on the selection of the crown prince's wife. They are really short-sighted.

Seeing that Yong'an Hou and the others had dull expressions and forgot to speak, Yuntang continued, "Father and Second and Third Uncles must know more about the affairs of the court than Yuntang, but Yuntang understands Third Senior Brother and Xiao Che'er better."

Marquis Yong'an suddenly came to his senses.

Ah, the Emperor is her third senior brother, and the Prince is her nephew.

However, the fact that the Crown Prince of Great Xia was called "Little Che'er" by this child was really... he didn't know how to respond.

Yong'an Hou looked a little embarrassed and asked tentatively, "Then Tang'er, do you think Xue'er and your aunt's cousin Xingyu have no chance of entering the Eastern Palace?"

Yuntang sneered and lowered his eyes to look at the child who was holding an orange towards him. He took the orange in his hands and tossed it around casually to amuse the child while speaking.

"My third senior brother has been in charge of the country for twenty years, and the situation is no longer the same as when he returned to Beijing."

"The Crown Prince has the final say on who will enter the Eastern Palace. My Third Senior Brother will not impose his ideas on him, and the Crown Prince does not need to compromise himself for the future throne."

Weighing the pros and cons? Balancing the power structure? Isn't that just putting yourself in a difficult position?

But in today's court, the emperor is powerful and does not need to consider the mood of any minister. Naturally, the prince does not need to compromise himself and choose someone he does not like to enter the East Palace.

"But I can say one thing for sure, no one from Yong'an Marquis's Mansion will enter the Eastern Palace, so those who have such ambitions should stop daydreaming."

"Besides, the dignified Prince Cheng's Mansion actually wants to send his granddaughter to the Eastern Palace. How can they be so disrespectful?"

"If she is not the principal wife, she will not be able to become the empress in the future. Wouldn't the Cheng Palace be shameless? If they rely on the power of the Cheng Prince to force the Emperor and the Crown Prince to make a choice, who will give face to the Cheng Palace?"

"Don't they think about the consequences of this confrontation between the emperor and his subjects? What do the other royal family members think? What do the nobles think? No matter what the result is, it's all about wiping the face of Prince Cheng's Mansion."

Yuntang stated the consequences of the matter directly with a look of disgust. Marquis Yong'an agreed with him and understood that if even Yuntang, a little Taoist priest, could see it clearly, how could the emperor not understand it?

Indeed, no matter what the result is, Prince Cheng will lose face.

This is just from the perspective of status. If we look at it from the perspective of power risks, the emperor would not allow a noble lady with such a powerful backer to enter the Eastern Palace and become the queen in the future.

If things go wrong, it will undermine the future emperor, and Prince Cheng's Mansion may not be as simple as being too powerful to be the master.

The more the Cheng Wang faction is blessed by the emperor and has a glorious life, the more they should keep a low profile on this matter and remain loyal to the emperor, upholding the emperor's thoughts and doing what the emperor wants, rather than pursuing their own ambitious plans.

Marquis Yong'an thought of what Zheng Yuanfang had said when they were drinking together with him, Prince Chengyang and Prince Chenghe. Although it was not as sharp and straightforward as Yuntang's, the meaning was almost the same.

This shows that Princess Kang Yi is ambitious, but Zheng Yuanfang is a smart man.

Marquis Yong'an came back to his senses and hurriedly repeated Zheng Yuanfang's intentions and what Prince Chengyang and Prince Chenghe had said. He didn't want Yuntang to misunderstand that this was the ambition of Prince Cheng's Mansion.

He said, "This is the ambition of your mother and your aunt, the two women in the backyard. Your uncle and two uncles don't have that idea. Instead, they are very clear-headed, just as you just said."

"Your grandfather naturally didn't have one either, but he must have been asked by your aunt. He asked the emperor for his opinion on your aunt's behalf. The emperor must have refused, and the matter was never mentioned again."

"It's just that your aunt is unwilling to give up. She has been making a lot of small moves recently. I guess the emperor didn't tell you about these things."

"Your aunt and your mother both have the same idea. They have quarreled several times in private about this matter, and their relationship has become strained. Your uncle means to ignore them, stupid woman."

When Marquis Yong'an talked about these things, he did not regard Yuntang as his junior at all. He did not evade the issue, which also showed his attitude.

"Your uncle has clearly told your aunt that the Duke of Chen's Mansion is supported by his eldest son, and there is no need for his daughter to enter the palace to seek glory. Our Marquis' Mansion has the same attitude."

"Don't worry about this. Your father won't hold you back and embarrass you."

Jiang Mingli and Jiang Mingwei also quickly agreed, saying that their children did not need to decide their marriages for the sake of arranged marriages. Both sides of the family must be satisfied with the children themselves, and they should pay more attention to character.

When they said this, they glanced at their eldest brother, Yong'an Hou, and almost said that the princess that their eldest brother Gao married was really...

They are not as sensible as their wives.

But I didn’t dare say this out loud, as it would upset my eldest brother.

Seeing that they understood his position, Yun Tang smiled and said, "That's what we should do."

At this point, Marquis Yong'an had almost finished discussing and clarifying the answers to things that he wanted to discuss with Yuntang, and then he asked her about her visit to Prince Cheng's Mansion and Duke Chen's Mansion.

"Your uncle and cousins ​​finally saw you in the palace that day, but your uncle and his family came back a few days late and didn't see you."

"When your aunt went to the palace, she asked to see you. I heard that the emperor refused to see her. It seems that you are not aware of this."

"But she is your aunt after all, and she has never treated you as harshly as your mother. She is an elder and she keeps talking about you, so you still have to meet her."

"And your aunt and cousins ​​are all direct relatives, and some are about your age. You don't have to attend social events with those who deliver invitations in the capital, but you should not be too distant from these direct relatives."

When it came to interactions among relatives, Marquis Yong'an once again began to explain the interests involved in a earnest manner, but his tone was not as didactic as before.

After all, I used to hope that my child would not just be a Taoist priest, but also have the awareness of being a noble lady in the capital, but now...

What happened to your lady? This child is a heavenly master!

He could teach the young Taoist daughter the ways of the world, but he had neither the ability nor the courage to instruct a heavenly master on how to act.

But this is his own daughter after all, and as a father he still has to tell her what he should teach her, what attitude he should express, and what message he should convey.

The rest is up to the children to choose.

After all, he is a child who has never visited his elder relatives since returning to Beijing and who has his own rules and attitude in doing things.

Fortunately, I no longer use the word “poor” when I open my mouth, which is a big improvement!

Yun Tang was not bothered by the relatives' interactions. She said calmly, "I'll see you again when I come back from the Western Territory."

"Otherwise, we're only free tonight and tomorrow morning. But tomorrow we're going to worship the Kitchen God, so I guess no one will be free to entertain us."

Anyway, she just came back to show up and then had to go about her own business.

However, she knew that her uncle, the Duke of Chengguo, had sent a gift to Qingfeng Palace, which was also jade.

It seems that everyone knows that she likes jade and caters to her preferences. This kindness should be appreciated and reciprocated.
