Chapter 153 The Emperor of Dayin Dynasty is Really Awesome
What exactly is this letter?
It was a handwritten letter from Fang Ruoruo. She promised that as long as the Dingbei Marquisate assisted the Third Prince in getting rid of the Fifth Prince and allowed the Third Prince to ascend the throne, she would willingly retreat from the position of concubine and let Feng Yishu become the Queen.
The letter was signed by Fang Ruoruo herself, with her personal seal.
This letter seemed to involve only Fang Ruoruo, but in fact, the Third Prince, the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, and the Marquis of Dingbei were all involved.
As a wise ruler, the emperor understood as soon as he saw the letter -
The Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion cooperated with the Marquis of Dingbei's Mansion.
His previous act of arranging a marriage did not succeed in dividing the two families. Although it caused the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince to be in opposition, it did not cause the Earl's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion to become enemies.
They sensed his intention to suppress the Third Prince, and so they cooperated in order to allow the Third Prince to ascend the throne.
So what are they going to do?
Is there anything that requires the use of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and even requires Fang Ruoruo to lower her status?
Only military power.
One letter completely exposed their ambitions.
"You've become more capable." The emperor sneered a few times, put the letter away, and then ordered, "Shi Lidie, you should pretend you don't know anything about this matter. I have my own plans."
"I know, and I will keep it a secret." Shi Lidie quickly agreed.
If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Shi Lidie did not participate in the fight for the throne. She threw out the bait that should be thrown out, and then just waited for the fish to take the bait.
The rest will naturally be handled by the emperor, the person in power.
But the Earl of Zhongyong and the Marquis of Dingbei did not know that some things were already in the control of the emperor.
Fang Ruoruo thought that since she had given the letter to Feng Yishu, the matter was settled.
The letter Feng Yishu received was a blank piece of paper, and she thought Fang Ruoruo had gone back on her word.
After discussing with Marquis Dingbei, they decided to stick with the original plan because in terms of power and background, the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion could not compete with the Marquis of Dingbei's Mansion.
After supporting the third prince to ascend the throne, they will be superior to him in terms of merit, military power, closeness, and blood relationship, so they are not afraid of Fang Ruoruo going back on her word.
Undercurrents surged in the capital.
Shi Lidie brewed wine, farmed, completed elegant tasks, and went to the palace to chat with the queen. She lived a very comfortable life. Many families followed her creativity and held banquets at home, which was deeply loved by young people.
About half a month later, the emperor arranged a marriage between the second princess and Liu Luping.
When the imperial edict came down, the entire capital was surprised. Many people did not understand. Even if the second princess's biological mother was of humble status, she was still the emperor's daughter. The empress treated the princesses equally and did not treat them harshly. So how could she marry a scholar from a commoner family?
Although Liu Luping was the top scorer, the imperial examination was held every three years and there was a top scorer in every session, so it was actually not a rare thing.
Although they had doubts, the imperial edict had already been issued and no one dared to say anything.
Only a few people who knew the situation knew that the Second Princess and Liu Luping were not a royal princess who took advantage of her power to rob others, nor were they a commoner scholar who flattered and curried favor with others, nor were they a pair of lovers who were randomly matched by the Emperor on a whim.
It was only after asking both parties and giving them a certain amount of opportunity to get along and get to know each other that the emperor issued an order to help the two lovers get together.
The emperor consulted the Imperial Observatory and after looking at the date, he set the wedding for three months later.
That is early summer.
Three months is neither long nor short. If one wants to prepare the dowry and wedding dress from beginning to end, it may not be enough time, but there are princesses who are already married in the palace.
The queen treats every princess the same, so the second princess's wedding process and items are all the same as those of the eldest princess who got married before. There may be some differences in details, but there will be no difference overall.
Therefore, the Imperial Household Department was more experienced in purchasing things, and many things did not require too much time to prepare.
As for the wedding dresses, the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged for embroiderers to take over. More than a dozen embroiderers worked on it, and three months was definitely enough time.
Along with the imperial decree granting marriage, there was also news that the emperor and the empress would personally attend the second princess' wedding, but this news was not confirmed. People in the palace only said that it was very likely to be the case.
When Shi Lidie heard the news, she was reading a musical score and suddenly put the book down.
This sudden action confused the systems in her mind.
Ah Feng asked:
[Why don't you continue reading! You are now completing elegant tasks, and you are not as motivated as before. ]
[Just tell me, is it because you have money now that the reward Aya gave you is not tempting enough? ]
"Don't make noise, I'm just thinking about something." Shi Lidie interrupted Ah Feng's chattering.
Aya was curious:
[What is it? If it's really important, it's okay to finish the task later.]
Shi Lidie didn't speak at first. She was silent for a long time before she spoke:
"I was thinking, His Majesty the Emperor of Dayin Dynasty is really amazing!"
【How to say? 】
"He is setting a trap. He has planned it in advance, using the second princess's marriage as a net, just waiting for someone to jump into the trap and catch them all in one fell swoop." Shi Lidie said, and then laughed.
Ah Feng scratched his head: [I don’t understand, can you explain it to me? ]
Shi Lidie was really patient enough to talk to the system:
"The original plot of "The Fake Daughter Wins Without Anything" has been completely changed since I got involved. Basically, the original main plot is about to collapse."
"According to the original novel, after the Third Prince and Fang Ruoruo got married, the next big plot was that the Third Prince succeeded in the fight for the throne and was named the Crown Prince. After the Emperor passed away, he became the Emperor."
"But now, the emperor has made it clear that he doesn't like him anymore. His path is not that smooth. If he wants to achieve his goal of becoming emperor, his only choice is to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate."
"Otherwise, given the emperor's current dislike for him and the queen's unborn child, he basically has no chance of becoming the crown prince. Then, under Fang Ruoruo's instigation, he might really choose to rebel."
After all, Fang Ruru is a player who is good at venture capital and can make a big profit with a small investment.
When she had no bargaining chips at all, she dared to rely on her childhood sweetheart relationship with the Third Prince to scheme to have a child. She also overturned the originally arranged marriage of Concubine Shu and became his principal wife.
Now, seeing that there is no hope for the Earl's Mansion to rise, she might actually instigate the Third Prince to abdicate.
As long as the third prince succeeds, the Earl's Mansion will be transformed.
To force the emperor to abdicate, one needs military power.
Where does the military power come from? Dingbei Marquis Mansion, the uncle of the third prince.
So, there was that letter, a letter expressing willingness to be suppressed by Feng Yishu.
Through this letter, the emperor got a glimpse of the third prince's true intention to seize the throne, so the emperor created a great opportunity for the third prince -
Three months later, the second princess' wedding.
The reason why it takes three months is because the troops from the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion need time to reach the capital.
As for the Second Princess' wedding, almost all the ministers in the court will be present, and it is rumored that the Emperor and the Empress will also attend the ceremony. With everyone gathered in one place, isn't it the best time to act?
It’s a pity that this opportunity was given to them by His Majesty himself.
The chess pieces cannot resist the chess players, but Your Majesty is the one who has an overview of the overall situation and controls everything.
