Chapter 133 Strike while the iron is hot
On the Palace Road
"Mother, what are your plans now? Are you going to go to the Empress Dowager or go back to Yonghe Palace?" Yongqi asked when he saw that his mother looked calm.
"Of course we'll go to see the Empress Dowager. For your matter, it's best to strike while the iron is hot. While I'm injured now, you should act pitifully and ask for a marriage for you. Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle this matter after I recover!" Concubine Yu rolled her eyes at her son. How could this child, who is usually very smart, be so stupid now? Of course they would press on while the victory was won. Could it be that they had to wait until the world knew about his marriage with Zhihua before asking the Empress Dowager for help?
Yongqi could see that his mother was speechless about him, so he simply stopped talking and just followed quietly.
After a while, the two arrived at the Cining Palace. Song Qing and Xu Tian had just returned from Shufangzhai and were chatting with the Empress Dowager. When Concubine Yu and Yongqi came in, they saw the three of them looking very happy.
"Your servant pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health." Concubine Yu stepped forward and saluted the Empress Dowager.
Song Qing and Xu Tian quickly stood up to return the greeting.
"Get up, Concubine Yu, why did you and Yongqi come together to my Cining Palace?" The Empress Dowager said to Concubine Yu and Yongqi.
"I have felt a little better recently, and I wanted to come and see Your Majesty and express my apologies for what I did before." Concubine Yu said to Your Majesty with a deeply affectionate look.
Song Qing and Xu Tian looked at each other, and it seemed that they had guessed why Concubine Yu brought Yongqi here!
"Concubine Yu, if you are not feeling well, please don't go out casually. Take good care of yourself in the palace, and it won't be too late to come back after you get better." The Empress Dowager just went to see Concubine Yu yesterday, and today Concubine Yu came, and brought Yongqi with her. It seems that she has something to ask for!
The old lady smiled and said nothing more. Since she already understood Concubine Yu's intention, she decided to wait for her to speak herself.
"My Lord Buddha, I won't beat around the bush. To tell you the truth, I came here to ask for a favor." Seeing that the Lord Buddha was smiling but not saying anything, Concubine Yu spoke.
"Then just tell me, Qing'er and Xinrong are not outsiders." The Empress Dowager was like delivering herself to the door. However, whether Qing'er and Xinrong were there or not did not affect anything. After all, what Concubine Yu wanted was for Yongqi.
Song Qing and Xu Tian actually wanted to leave, but since Mr. Buddha had said it was okay, they stayed.
Obviously, Concubine Yu was not worried about this matter at first, as she would know about it sooner or later, so she directly said, "Grand Buddha, it was all my fault before. I was obsessed with finding a well-educated and well-mannered wife for Yongqi, but I didn't care about Yongqi's wish. Now, I have figured it out. Yongqi's marriage should be decided by him. Since Yongqi likes Xiaoyanzi, I hope they can be together. Moreover, I have come to my senses and discovered the shining points of Xiaoyanzi. So no matter whether Xiaoyanzi is well-educated and well-mannered, or whether I like her or not. Therefore, I want to ask you, Grand Buddha, to let Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi get married." After Concubine Yu said all this, not only did the Grand Buddha fail to react, but even Song Qing and Xu Tian were surprised. They didn't expect Concubine Yu's intentions to be so sincere that she even asked for marriage!
If Song Qing remembered correctly, they should have just learned from Shufangzhai that Concubine Yu was very good to Xiaoyanzi. How come it was not long ago that Concubine Yu came to the Empress Dowager for help? Why was she so anxious?
The old lady was stunned for a while, then she reacted and looked at Concubine Yu in surprise and suspicion. If she remembered correctly, Concubine Yu always looked down on Xiaoyanzi in the past. What happened now? She liked Xiaoyanzi so much that she came to ask her for help today!
"Concubine Yu, I know what you're thinking, but the Emperor has already issued an edict to marry Zhihua to Yongqi. Now you come to ask me to make the decision between Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, and I can't do anything!" What the Empress Dowager said was actually correct. It was not easy to get the Emperor to agree to the marriage of Yongqi and Zhihua, and the mother and son had a quarrel over it. Now Concubine Yu wants to change his mind again, and even she can't make it happen, so she has to throw the matter to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you are right. But just now, I have brought Yongqi to see the emperor, and the emperor has nodded in agreement. It just depends on your willingness. If you are unwilling, the emperor will not agree." Concubine Yu replied to the old Buddha directly with one sentence. She knew that this would be the result. Fortunately, she was smart. This time she solved the most difficult emperor first, and then dealt with the old Buddha.
