Chapter 494: Serious Disagreement, What Is He Making Trouble For?
"Prime Minister Qin's words really make me feel confused. I don't know whether I should believe my own eyes or my own ears. However, I have now figured out one thing. The Third Prince doesn't like Prime Minister Qin's granddaughter at all. She has always been Prime Minister Qin's granddaughter, and she has been pestering the Third Prince regardless of her shame. Is that right?" Rong Yuchuan confirmed with Prime Minister Qin.
Since this old fox Qin Xiang is so shameless, don't blame him for stomping on Qin Xiang's face!
"Yes." Qin Xiang nodded in response.
Everyone watching the show in the court was shocked.
Does Prime Minister Qin really dislike this granddaughter? With these words coming out of his mouth, how can his granddaughter face people in the future? With this kind of reputation, I'm afraid she will never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life!
It’s even more miserable than what happened to the Jiang family back then!
"That means, the Third Prince's love in his heart is still my Qingqing?" Rong Yuchuan asked again.
"That's right." Prime Minister Qin responded firmly.
"Although Prime Minister Qin's words are so sure, I still decided to believe my own eyes. That day I saw that the Third Prince's concern for Prime Minister Qin's granddaughter did not seem fake. Unless..."
"Unless what?" asked Prime Minister Qin.
Rong Yuchuan immediately turned to the emperor, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, unless I can see with my own eyes how sincere the Third Prince is to Qingqing, I will not agree to Qingqing marrying the Third Prince at any cost!"
"My dear Lord Rong, how else do you want to see it with your own eyes?" asked the emperor.
"It's almost the Qiqiao Festival. I have donated some money to hold a lantern festival. As long as the Third Prince is willing to climb to the top of the bamboo rack and take down the most beautiful lantern to give to Qingqing, you can do it. However, I have one condition. The young lady of Prime Minister Qin's residence must also be present that day and stay with Qingqing the whole time. As long as Qingqing can receive the lantern from the Third Prince, I will never mention the cancellation of the engagement again."
Prime Minister Qin remained silent. This was no longer something he could decide.
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Qin.
Don't think he doesn't know what this old guy is thinking!
"Okay, since Lord Rong has said so, I agree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Today, the third prince still did not attend court.
However, he heard Rong Yuchuan mention the matter of sending lanterns during the Qiqiao Festival in the court.
He had a strong feeling that everything was out of his control and was developing in a direction that he could not control or even predict the outcome.
Did he really have no choice?
He had no choice in anything!
"Third Prince, the Queen invites you over." The voice of a palace maid came from outside.
The third prince immediately went to the queen's palace.
After he insisted on breaking off the engagement, he had not yet met his mother alone. He felt that he could not face her and had a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
But now, the guilt is easing.
Today, the queen has changed from yesterday's tired appearance. She seems to be in a good mood and wears bright colors that she doesn't usually like.
Just by seeing her dressed like this, the Third Prince's sense of guilt disappeared a little.
He was sure that his mother must have colluded with Prime Minister Qin!
"Your son pays homage to your mother." The third prince stepped forward and saluted.
The queen did not ask him to stand up as usual, but asked calmly: "Do you know what happened in the court today?"
"Mother, I understand."
"On the night of the Qiqiao Festival, go to the lantern festival held by the Rong Mansion and pick the most beautiful lantern to give to Rong Qingqing. Your marriage with Rong Qingqing will remain unchanged, and the Queen Mother also agrees that Qin Yumo can be your concubine."
The Queen's words were not a discussion, but an order.
"Mother, what if I say no?" the third prince asked tentatively.
"Do you think that you still have the right to say no now that things have developed to this point? You have caused such a big mess, but the Queen Mother has not blamed you at all, which proves that you have grown up and have your own ideas. It is normal for some of your ideas to be different from the Queen Mother's. The Queen Mother believes that you will return to reason after being impulsive and know what you can and cannot do. Now that you have such a happy ending, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"By doing this, Yumo's reputation will be ruined! She secretly likes me, has she done anything wrong? You want her to bear such serious consequences alone!" The third prince felt more and more sorry for Qin Yumo.
"How do you know that Qin Yumo is the victim in this matter? Maybe this is the result she wanted? Otherwise, why do you think she knelt in front of the prince's mansion and was willing to be a concubine?" the queen asked loudly.
The fact that the Third Prince could ask such a question really made her angry!
I never thought that my son would be so stupid at this time!
"No, it won't! Yu Mo knelt outside the Prince's house because she loves me. She wants to take all the responsibilities on herself. Even if she has to be a concubine, she just wants to be with me! What you are doing is taking advantage of her, putting all the faults on her, and letting her bear the consequences alone!"
The queen frowned and looked at the third prince in disbelief.
Is this still the son she raised?
"Did Qin Yumo tell you this?"
"No! For my sake, she will just swallow all the grievances! Even if you ask her to die, she will do it without hesitation!"
"Where did you hear all this?"
"No one needs to tell me, I can understand it!"
The Queen was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
She guarded the Third Prince like an iron barrel. How did Ji Chuhe break through her defense and instill these ideas into the Third Prince?
She finally realized how terrifying Ji Chuhe was!
Ji Chuhe is so smart that he is almost a demon, and he is the kind of demon that can control people's hearts!
The queen took a deep breath and kept reminding herself to stay calm.
It's impossible to reason with the Third Prince at this time.
Because he already had his own judgment and ideas! He stood on the opposite side of her!
"The fact that Qin Yumo can marry you is a blessing he has earned in his previous life. So what if she has to pay a price? Do you really want to give up your position as crown prince for a woman?" The queen patiently communicated with the third prince.
I just hope that the Third Prince's thinking can be corrected as soon as possible.
"Mother, didn't you also say that Father wanted to get rid of Prince Huaiyang, and the Rongguo Mansion would definitely be implicated. Our alliance with the Rongguo Mansion is only a temporary mutual benefit, right? In this case, it is better to sever ties with the Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible. Didn't you also think about winning over Prime Minister Qin before? Now, isn't it exactly what mother wants?"
"Prime Minister Qin is willing to ruin his granddaughter's reputation and willing to throw his own face on the ground to be trampled on by others. He is not afraid of being ridiculed behind his back. He just wants to gain the greatest benefit for you. Why don't you understand this? Qin Yumo doesn't care about her reputation at all! What do you care about?" The queen finally couldn't help it and asked angrily.
