Husband, please lend me your virtues

Chapter 139: The Sister in the Control Group of the Rebirth Article (5)

After he gets married, if he and Zhao Zijin go beyond the boundaries and break the rules, they will be brought before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. He believes that these two people will not tell right from wrong and will simply put the blame on his wife.

He didn't want the woman he had married with great difficulty to be alienated from him by her loving family.

Gao Su entered the palace and went straight to the imperial study. At this time, his royal brother was working diligently and wholeheartedly for the court, and he should be struggling with several large baskets of memorials in the imperial study.

Gao Su raised his hand and saluted to the emperor. The emperor felt pity for his frail and sickly brother, put down the imperial pen in his hand, and led him to sit next door.

Before he ascended the throne, he was murdered by the favorite concubine of the previous emperor and almost lost his position as crown prince. It was his mother who made the previous emperor drink a bowl of poisoned medicine and thus saved his position as crown prince.

If his younger brother, who was still in the womb, had not absorbed all the poison, not only would his mother's life have been in danger, but she would also have been unable to stabilize the late emperor's harem for him and help him ascend the throne.

"Brother, is there anything urgent that brings you here at this time?"

Gao Su came at a very clever time. He spoke a few words to the Emperor and then went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to pay his respects to her. It was almost time for the palace gates to be locked, so there was not enough time for the two of them to have dinner.

Although Gao Su was the emperor's brother, he was already an adult and it was not appropriate for him to stay in the palace for too long.

"Yes, I have a favor to ask of you."

"I fell in love with Zhao Zijin, the cousin of the Duke of Jingguo, at first sight. I would like to ask you, my brother, to grant us a marriage."

Gao Su deliberately emphasized Zhao Zijin's name because there were two cousins ​​in the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, and he didn't want his brother to not hear clearly and point to the wrong person.

"Hahahaha, usually your mother worries about your marriage, but you never respond. Now you come to the palace and ask me to grant you a marriage!"

The emperor laughed when he heard Gao Su's intention. "It's rare that you have made a request to me. I can't refuse it. But isn't the status of this cousin of the Duke of Jingguo too low to be a good match for you?"

Duke Jingguo and the Crown Prince are capable ministers who can contribute to the court, but Duke Jingguo's in-laws do not seem to be of much use. He has no impression of the family of this cousin who is staying in Duke Jingguo's Mansion, so he presumably has a bad status.

Gao Su insisted, "Brother, in terms of status, is there any girl in this world who can compare with ours? I just want to marry her."

The emperor was speechless, and thought of the empress dowager in Shoukang Palace, "Our daughter is naturally noble, but her status, if she becomes your principal wife, I'm afraid the queen mother will not be willing."

"Brother, as long as you agree, I will convince the Queen Mother."

"If I have no chance to be with her, I am willing to become a monk and study Buddhism with Master Jueyun."

So don't bring up your identity anymore.

"Alright, I can issue this imperial decree, but you have to go with me to see the Queen Mother."

Don’t let the queen mother think that he is arbitrarily matching people up and forcing his brother to get married.

"Your Majesty, please remember that this is Zhao Zijin. Do not give her sisters to me." Gao Su reminded the emperor again with concern.

"I know it in my heart. The incident with Prince Anji was just a coincidence."

As for the last time when Prince Anji asked him for permission to grant him a marriage with the daughter of the Minister's wife, his decree stated that it was the second daughter and not the eldest daughter of the Minister's wife. It was because Prince Anji did not specify which girl when he asked for permission.

He had a preconceived notion that Prince Anji wanted to marry the second daughter of the legitimate wife rather than the eldest daughter of a concubine. When that damn imperial edict came down, he actually cried and begged him to revoke the order and marry him off to the eldest daughter of the Minister's House again.

Because of the great contributions his father had made to Da Rui, he withdrew the imperial decree of marriage, made an exception and conferred the title of county princess on the innocent second daughter of the minister's mansion, and promised her another good marriage as compensation.

Grant a new marriage to the woman that bastard loves? Sorry, he is not such a magnanimous emperor and will just ignore the matter.

It is said that the old empress dowager has not allowed the eldest daughter of a concubine to enter the Prince's Mansion until now.

The emperor touched his nose and took Gao Su to Shoukang Palace.

The emperor and Gao Su explained their purpose in front of the empress dowager. At first, the reactions of the empress dowager and the emperor were average. They were not very willing to make Zhao Zijin the principal wife. She had seen Zhao Zijin, the cousin of the Duke of Jingguo, beside the old lady of the Duke of Jingguo. She was beautiful, but her parents died when she was young, and there was no one left on her father's side.

However, Gao Su's attitude was firm, and the Queen Mother agreed soon after.

It took her son so many years to agree to get married. The empress dowager was afraid that her youngest son would be bewitched by Master Jueyun and become a monk because of her disapproval.

It doesn't matter that the daughter-in-law doesn't come from a high-class family. When the time comes, she will take her daughter-in-law to her side and give her more guidance. She will be able to live up to the status of Princess Kang and take care of the affairs of the harem for her Su'er.

When Zhao Zijin, who was far away in Yuantai Mountain, returned to the guest house, he saw Zhao Xinyu, with a rosy face, sitting in the yard. He was surprised. Didn't she claim to be sick and couldn't go out?

"Sister, you are finally back."

Zhao Xinyu personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zijin and placed it in front of her. "I just went out and ran into Master Jueyun who had just returned from his travels. Sister, how about we go visit Master Jueyun tomorrow?"

"I want to go and ask for a fortune to see if I have a marriage. Isn't my sister worried about the fortune-telling from her childhood master?"

"Why don't you come with me to find the master? The master may be able to solve the problem of easy pregnancy!"

After Zhao Zijin went out today, Zhao Xinyu also went out and ran into Master Jueyun who had just returned to the gate of Qingxin Temple and was surrounded by a crowd.

She thought of what Zhao Zijin had said in the past and was very excited. She wondered if Master Jueyun could transfer the fertility physique that her sister didn't want to her and give it to her. What kind of reward would Master Jueyun want for doing this?

"It's not easy for him to tell whether a woman is fertile or not. Besides, we sisters were still young at that time, and the fortune-telling may not be accurate. The imperial doctors in the palace did not dare to make such a statement that a woman is fertile."

Seeing Zhao Zijin change his tone, Zhao Xinyou was anxious, "It can't be wrong, Master is always right, doesn't my sister dislike women getting pregnant easily?"

"Who knows, maybe Master Jueyun has a solution!"

Zhao Xinyu was excited, fearing that Zhao Zijin had changed his mind again and was unwilling to go with her to see Master Jueyun.

Zhao Zijin sneered, "Sister, why would you worry about this for me? Didn't you think that easy pregnancy was a good thing?"

"This... is a blessing for me, but not for you, my sister. I just thought of your thoughts when I saw Master Jueyun."

"Just come with me to ask to see Master Jueyun!"

Seeing that Zhao Zijin remained silent, Zhao Xinyu tried to probe, "Could it be that my sister has changed her mind in just a few days and no longer feels that fortune-telling is a burden?"

"No, it's just that my sister is too anxious, and I have doubts in my heart."

Zhao Zijin took a sip of the tea in her hand and asked slowly, "In your heart, is this lot so good? If there is a chance to get it, even if it costs a heavy price?"

"Correct."
