Chapter 212: Discord
Speaking of marrying a wife, the emperor remembered Lin Chenyao's marriage edict and said, "Your mother came to me a few days ago and asked me to leave your marriage edict first. What do you think about this?"
Lin Chenyao asked for this marriage himself. Even if he asked for the wrong partner, he had no room for a turn for the promise in front of so many people. Moreover, he did not think that Miss Chu Wu was not worthy of Lin Chenyao. After all, she was also the granddaughter of her mentor and the cousin of her son.
Besides, the girl looked five or sixty-sixth-similar to Xueer, and she was Xueer's niece, that is, her niece. No matter what, she wanted her to have a good home. He definitely believed in Lin Chenyao's character. Miss Chu Wu would never be wronged when she followed him.
Lin Chenyao said lightly: "The same thing, since I promised, I will not change."
"Miss Fu Er is not bad either, why didn't he think about her suddenly?" The emperor said: "If you insist on marrying her, I can..."
"No." Lin Chenyao knew what he wanted to say, shook his head and said, "It's good now."
"I also think so. Miss Chu Wu is very compatible with you in terms of talent and appearance. If you dislike her for being a low status, I can give her a county lord and let her marry you with a decent and glorious manner."
"No need." Lin Chenyao refused without thinking, "I think she is very good now, so there is no need to add icing on the cake. The decent scenery she wants will be earned for her in the future."
He knew Chu Xinyu's temperament, and what she needed was not material things and other people's vision, but a sincere heart.
The emperor smiled and said, "It's great for you to think this way." After thinking about it, he said, "Your mother's side, you can communicate with her after you go back. She doesn't seem to like Miss Chu Wu very much."
Lin Chenyao said: "I can."
Although her mother is strong, she can't do anything to herself as long as he persists.
"I will issue the edict tomorrow."
...
After Lin Chenyao left, the emperor ordered people to summon the King of Qin into the palace. He first told him to send him to Hongzhou Supervisor to investigate the collapse of the embankment. Xiao Jingxuan knew the collapse of the embankment in Hongzhou, so there was no problem. Moreover, he heard that the queen had already matched the prince who had not married a concubine. If there was no accident, it would be the same as in his previous life.
After the emperor told him about Hongzhou, he really talked about choosing a concubine. The emperor said: "The queen has selected the most suitable princess for you, but the father wants to choose a girl he likes for you and summon you into the palace because he wants to ask what you mean."
The emperor always felt that he was owed to this son, so he wanted to choose a girl he liked and live a harmonious and happy life, so he made an exception to call him into the palace, first ask for his opinion, and then issue an imperial edict. If he doesn't like it, he would ask him to choose a girl he likes on the list.
Xiao Jingxuan said: "I wonder who the queen chose for the son minister?"
"The queen chose Yang Qianjun, the daughter of Yang Shihuang, for you."
As expected, just like his previous life, he impulsively refused the marriage grant and did not choose any girls on the list. Yang Qianjun refused the marriage and didn't know who spread the matter out of the palace because he refused the marriage. He thought that Yang Qianjun had a problem with his character, so he was rejected. Since then, no son from a good family came to ask for marriage. Until many years later, when she saw her again, she brought a six or seven-year-old child back to the capital, but she had never heard of her marriage.
Yang Qianjun is Yu'er's friend, and she will definitely not be allowed to encounter rumors and slander like the previous life. As for her future life choices, she will choose it herself, and then said to the emperor: "In marriage, you should obey your parents' orders, matchmakers' words, my son will listen to you, but my son has a condition."
"Condition?" The emperor heard this and said with interest: "Let me tell me."
Xiao Jingxuan said: "My son hopes that before returning from Hongzhou, he will not issue the marriage edict for the time being."
"Why?" the emperor asked: "Since you agree, it's time to get married, and it's too long to get married. Why should the edict be issued after you come back?"
Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and said, "I hope to marry a wife who really likes me, instead of having to marry me because the emperor gave me a marriage. When I come back from Hongzhou, I will get along with her. If it is not suitable, the edict will be invalid."
The emperor kept his eyebrows and thought, he intended to ask Xiao Jingxuan to choose a girl who was in love with him. It seemed that he did not reject Yang Shilang's daughter, but he did not have to do so, otherwise he would not say so. However, his son was cautious in doing things and temporarily put the marriage edict down. Whether he disagrees or the woman disagrees in the future, it would have no effect on anyone.
If the son refuses this marriage now, the woman's reputation will inevitably be damaged. Isn't the son doing this protecting Miss Yang's reputation?
Since the person his son wants to protect, he should support him. Maybe he will have unexpected results when he returns from Hongzhou.
Thinking about this, the emperor followed Xiao Jingxuan's wishes and put his marriage edict down for a while, and he would talk about it when he came back from Hongzhou.
...
The imperial concubine's bedroom, in the Chaoyang Palace.
Concubine Qi was lying on the beauty couch, a palace maid knelt on the ground, massaging her legs, and two other palace maids stood beside her, shaking the fan for her.
A beautiful aunt walked in and saluted Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi sat upright, waved her hand, and turned her back on the palace maids on both sides.
After all the palace maids retreated, Concubine Qi asked, "What's there?"
Aunt Wang said, "Report to the Empress, the Marquis of Beiping has left, the King of Qin has entered, and has not yet come out."
Concubine Qi frowned, "Do you hear what they say?"
Aunt Wang shook her head and said, "The emperor has given up everyone, no one tells them what they are talking about."
"I didn't expect that he would start to guard this palace now." Concubine Qi stood up. Over the years, she had secretly placed people in the emperor's imperial study room, with the purpose of quickly grasping the emperor's every move. In previous years, the emperor opened his eyes and closed his eyes and did not blame her. She thought this was a kind of honor, but today he gave up the person, clearly not wanting her to know.
Concubine Qi thought about it and asked again: "Where is Sheng'er, has he entered the palace?"
Aunt Wang said: "Not yet."
"He actually told the King of Qin to enter the palace or not?" Concubine Qi felt very uncomfortable. Over the years, the women in the harem have been competing for favor, except for the queen, and even Concubine Kang, who was once the emperor's favorite, was defeated by her. Although she was not sent to the cold palace by the emperor, the emperor came to her Chaoyang Palace more than her Fengzao Palace. Sheng'er also had some real power in the court, and the King of Qin is still an idle prince.
However, although the emperor has not visited Fengzao Palace much over the years, he will do his best to fulfill every time Concubine Kang's request. Is he affectionate or ruthless? Sometimes she really can't figure out what the emperor is thinking.
Aunt Wang said: "I heard that in the court today, the emperor agreed to the King of Jin's recommendation and asked Xu Fusi to investigate the Hongzhou embankment, which proves that the emperor agreed with King of Jin's ability in his heart."
"Yes." Concubine Qi chuckled. At least her son, the emperor, agreed with his ability. The prince had been ill for many years and had not improved. As long as Sheng'er was recognized by the emperor, the position of crown prince would belong to her son sooner or later.
"Empress, the King of Jin is here." At this time, a little palace maid rushed in and reported.
Sheng'er is here?
Concubine Qi was delighted and immediately invited her to come in, then asked Aunt Wang to go to tea Longjing and took out his favorite cakes.
Xiao Jingsheng was wearing a purple brocade robe and looked relaxed and graceful. He came in and greeted Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was originally sitting on a chair in the main hall. When he saw his son, he got up and walked down.
"Sheng'er." Concubine Qi took his hand and the two walked to the desk to sit down, "Are you going to see your mother's mother, or are your father summoning me in?"
"I'm here to see my mother." Xiao Jingxuan said with a smile.
Concubine Qi said: "My mother heard about the court this morning, and you didn't do well this time."
"It's a pity that the emperor sent the prince to serve as the escort supplies this time." If he was sent to serve, he would be able to complete the task perfectly and get the praise of his father, but unfortunately he was not his part this time.
Concubine Qi sneered, "It may not be a good thing to be able to take the mission. If there is any accident on the way, the emperor will definitely blame it."
Xiao Jingsheng closed his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and without saying anything, he picked up the mung bean cake and ate a piece, clapped his hands and said, "What the mother said is very much. The prince's position may not be a good thing. If the materials are destroyed, there will be a crime of ineffective work."
Concubine Qi continued: "If some people are involved and take the opportunity to kill him, the position of the prince will be suspended in the air. With Sheng'er's ability, this position must be yours."
"No, he can't die like this, otherwise the father would doubt the investigation. When the matter in Hongzhou is over, we will find a way to kill him. But before that, we will slapped the prince's spirit, slam his confidence, and let him fall into a slump from now on."
Concubine Qi poured a cup of tea from the pot and said with a smile: "Sheng'er is still smart, so let's save his life for the time being."
After saying that, she picked up the cup, took a sip, remembered something, and said, "By the way, Mother Mother heard that the queen, your princess, will be matched, and a marriage edict will be issued soon. Mother Mother originally wanted to match you with a wife with a strong wife as a backer. Unfortunately, the mother Mother Mother did not participate in this marriage. If it weren't for Miss Chu Wu who gave the Marquis of Peking, Miss Chu San was actually a good candidate. Her father held military power, and the second wife had only one legitimate daughter."
"Miss Chu San is good, but unfortunately, the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion has already released a wife of the Marquis of Beiping. The queen will not give her to her son. The fourth brother is close to the prince. If he is unintentional to the throne, he will definitely support the prince. Miss Chu Wu is his cousin. The Marquis of Beiping cannot guarantee that she will not be on the side of the prince. Therefore, the Queen will not let Miss Chu San give her son."
Concubine Qi didn't know what she remembered, clenched her fists and pounded the table, and said angrily: "There was a prophet in this palace who wanted to destroy the marriage between Miss Chu Wu and the Marquis of Beiping. Unfortunately, your father insisted on pairing them together. I doubted whether he did this on purpose."
Deliberately tying Miss Chu to the Marquis of Beiping is equivalent to finding an invisible backer for the King of Qin. If the King of Qin has a strange intention, it is definitely an obstacle that cannot be ignored.
