zChapter 1125 - Why Wouldn’t I Favour My Own Son? (1/2)

Imperial Concubine Yun was a little stunned, there was nothing wrong with Xuan Tianyi kowtowing to her, but how did he say his previous sentence? Someone who can make a decision has finally arrived? What decision? Make a decision for who?

Imperial Concubine Yun gathered herself, straightened her posture and looked at Xuan Tianyi, half a beat later, she finally spoke: “This One cannot make a decision for Ji An Prefecture.”

Xuan Tianyi shook his head, “I am not asking Imperial Concubine Mother to make a decision for Ji An Prefecture, it is to make a decision for This Son.”

“Make a decision for you?” Imperial Concubine Yun did not understand, “What decision do you have which This One needs to make? If something really is the matter, you should go back to the capital and see His Majesty, looking for This One is useless.”

“It’s useful! How can it be useless?” Xuan Tianyi said seriously: “Father Emperor told us when we were young, in every case, for all the concubines and noble ladies whom we can address as Imperial Concubine Mother, they are our elders, and can make decisions for us brothers. So for This Son to meet Imperial Concubine Mother today, it is no different from meeting my own birth mother. This Son has a matter which I would like Imperial Concubine Mother to decide, I hope that Imperial Concubine Mother can show sympathy for This Son.”

This spew of cottoning up to her caused Imperial Concubine Yun to feel stunned, but since he said this much and she was his elder, it was not good to rebuke Old Fourth’s words and make him lose face, so she only shook her head helplessly, saying: “Then speak, what is your business?” After saying this, she still did not want to admit defeat and added on: “Actually, even though I am the elder, This One does not remember the appearance of you brothers, are you really Old Fourth?”

Xuan Tianyi nodded, “The genuine article! Ninth Brother can prove it.”

Xuan Tianming also nodded helplessly, “Yes.” That was when Imperial Concubine Yun gave up.

Then they heard Xuan Tianyi speak as he turned around and pointed at the boxes which were carried into the manor and were currently in the courtyard outside the hall: “Today, This Son came to deliver dowry to Madam An, with the intentions to request a marriage to Madam An’s daughter Feng Xiangrong. Imperial Concubine Mother probably heard before, in the past, under the orders of Father Emperor, This Son requested Feng family’s Third Miss to be my master, learning embroidery from her. With this, I learned for a few years! During these few years, the feelings This Son has for Feng family’s Third Miss had already surpassed that of the feelings between master and disciple, feelings of admiration and adoration grew in my heart. Therefore, I wish to welcome Feng Third Miss into Ping Palace, as my first wife. But with only This Son coming to deliver the dowry, it really is too shabby, there are no parents to front this. Imperial Concubine Mother Yun also knows, This Son’s birth mother is still confined to the cold palace! It is even less probable for Father Emperor to come over, so This Son had been troubled the whole time, the dowry has already been prepared long ago, but I was embarrassed to carry them over. Today, I heard that Imperial Concubine Mother Yun has arrived, This Son was happy! Finally an elder has come to make a decision for This Son, so This Son immediately carried the dowry and came, I hope that Imperial Concubine Mother Yun can put in some good words for This Son in front of Madam An, and ask Madam An to approve of the marriage between This Son and Feng Third Miss!”

Xuan Tianyi’s words were filled with sincerity, and after he was done speaking, he even kowtowed to Imperial Concubine Yun three times to express his determination. In a daze, Imperial Concubine Yun looked at this prince who was kneeling in front of her, the embers of anger in her heart rising up as she seethed! Seeing that this small fire was going to burn into a huge fire, about to burn to her throat and eyes, Feng Yuheng quickly used her arm to prod Xuan Tianming, saying softly: “Quickly! Think of a way to put out the fire! Imperial Concubine Mother is about to lose her temper, if this becomes a real quarrel, it will not look good.”

Xuan Tianming also knew it would not look good, Imperial Concubine Yun’s reputation was still important, she could have a strong side to her, but it should not be shown in front of these people. Therefore, he spoke quickly: “This is such a coincidence, Fourth Brother also wishes to propose a marriage to This Prince’s younger sister-in-law! But Imperial Concubine Mother came to Ji An Prefecture today to propose a marriage to Madam An and Feng Third Miss for Seventh Brother.”

“Ah!” Xuan Tianyi feigned surprise, “Such a coincidence? Seventh Brother has also set his sights from Feng Third Miss?” He acted like he did not know, putting up a complete act, “Then this shows even more that Feng Third Miss is a good girl, it seems like my judgement is not wrong. Imperial Concubine Mother Yun!” He kicked the ball back to Imperial Concubine Yun, “Even though I am not your birth son, and was not raised by your side since young, but This Son still thinks that Imperial Concubine Mother Yub would not just favour your own child on this matter, right? This Son asks Imperial Concubine Mother Yun to make a decision!”

Xuan Tianyi was very sly, speaking like this, if Imperial Concubine Yun continued to insist on Xuan Tianhua’s marriage matters, that meant she was favouring her own son. If rumours like this spread, it would not sound nice at all.

But who was Imperial Concubine Yun? Would she still care about what others say? Other than the obvious fact that she stayed alone in Winter Moon Palace in the imperial palace and did not meet the Emperor, she even caused the Emperor to not even enter the harm, causing the descendants of the Xuan name to be cut off after Xuan Tianming, what kind of ugly words have she not heard before? Xuan Tianyi’s move did not cause much impact.

Seeing Imperial Concubine Yun shrug, she threw out a sentence: “If I do not favour my children, then what kind of mother am I?” After saying this, she even asked Xuan Tianyi in a confused tone: “Could it be that your birth mother had never favoured you over others?”

Xuan Tianyi had never interacted with Imperial Concubine Yun and had thought the other party was only a normal Madam, under this “main principle”, he could still manage her a little. But he did not expect that Imperial Concubine Yun would be this unpredictable! The words she said were off tangent. He was a little stunned, but he still replied: “This Son’s birth mother really never favoured This Son before.”

“Oh.” Imperial Concubine Yun nodded, “No wonder she entered the cold palace.” She spoke as if it was a natural thing.

It was Xuan Tianyi’s turn to be stunned, what was this situation? Old Seventh sent him a letter and only asked him to try his best on this side to delay Old Ninth’s return to the capital, and without any other options, he thought of this method, but Old Seventh did not tell him Imperial Concubine Yun had such a personality!

Xuan Tianming also spoke up from where he was standing at the side: “Fourth Brother, you are the older brother, how can you snatch a woman from your younger brother?”

Ka!
