153 Even more annoying(1/2)
Seeing Li Lu kneeling down and making a gesture of supplication, the Holy Book Emperor asked with a smile: "Which family is the girl from?"
Everyone at the table was also very curious.
This Prince Rong has not married for a long time, but now he suddenly claims that he has someone he likes. I wonder who it could be?
During the banquet of the female family members, a young girl looked at Prince Rong kneeling there with a look of astonishment on her face.
They met more than once in the music hall. She was attracted by the sound of his flute. She was also a lover of music. His flute music was clearly filled with a sense of loneliness, and he clearly did not look like he had a sweetheart...
Did you fall in love with a girl from a certain family at the hibiscus flower banquet?
The pair of chopsticks in the girl's hands had already fallen off a moment ago. It was only because everyone was attracted by Prince Rong's actions that no one noticed anything strange about her.
But the Ma family's maid beside her saw it. Seeing the girl's demeanor, she asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the girl?"
Ma Wan seemed not to have heard the maid's voice, but only looked at the figure of Prince Rong.
She had talked about music with him, but he had never asked her about her identity. Out of the reserve of her daughter's family, she had never taken the initiative to ask about his identity... But she never thought that when they met again, he would become the crown prince of Rong, and he was already married.
I have someone I like.
What kind of woman does he like?
He is like the bright moon, and the person he likes must be as graceful as the breeze. He should have the same preferences and resonance with him. Only in this way can he be considered a good match, right?
Thinking of this, a secret expectation suddenly rose uncontrollably in the girl's heart...
They talked happily and had a tacit understanding of music, didn't they?
Looking at that figure, Ma Wan almost held her breath.
"Back to Saint, my nephew has been in love with a girl from the Chang family for a long time."
Prince Rong's voice came clearly to everyone's ears.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
As if he did not dare to raise his head to see the reaction of the Holy Emperor for a moment, Prince Rong said in a courageous tone: "... Lu knew that he was mediocre and incompetent. Although he was a descendant of the Li family, he had never been able to share the worries of the saint and the court.
, I shouldn’t have spoken so rashly, causing the saint to suffer..."
Some officials secretly exchanged glances.
So, does this mean that he knows and admits that he is "robbing people" from the saint by doing this?
"Lu Ben should have put away this delusion. Until today when Mrs. Chang rescued her on the racecourse, I seemed to feel that there was guidance from God. If I missed it, I would regret it for the rest of my life, so I took the courage..."
Chang Suining, who was stared at by countless eyes: "..."
Providence guidance?
God’s will would not be so troublesome.
She also looked at the Prince Rong whom she rescued today.
She was also deeply surprised by the other party's sudden proposal to marry him.
But her intuition was not trustworthy when it came to her favorite words.
At least not entirely trustworthy.
Faced with this sudden situation and everyone's gaze and inquiry, the girl looked calmly, but she looked in the direction of the Holy Book Emperor.
Now the ball was not passed to her, but to the saint. We might as well see how the opponent plans to play it first.
The faint smile on the Holy Book Emperor's face is still there.
The candidate mentioned by Li Lu also surprised her.
Li Lu always wanted to marry a wife. Instead of marrying a daughter from another family, under her eyes, the Chang family, which looked respectable but had no real power, was a good choice... In the past, she would not have
There is too much hesitation.
But it's different now.
Emperor Shengsi first thought of what Master Tianjing said, that girl's horoscope was very strange, and there was an unclear connection with her horoscope...
With such preconceived scruples, Prince Rong's proposal to marry him at this moment inevitably made her hesitate.
Furthermore, Chang Suining was her chosen candidate for the crown princess. Once something unexpected happened, it would affect her plan. She couldn't just take Li Lu's intention of doing this at face value.
During the day, Li Lu once told her about the rescue at the racecourse. When he talked about the Chang family girl, he was grateful and admired...
Now I am drinking to strengthen my courage, and I dare to say this just now. I really look like a young man who is carried away by love.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the other party is the Crown Prince of Rong and has lived in the capital for a long time and has been alone. Officials have long hinted that her actions are no different from taking people as hostages, and there are many people who use this to make a fuss——
And if it is really said that it is a hostage, Li Lu has indeed been a qualified hostage over the years.
He never participated in government affairs and never made friends with officials. Although he was mediocre, he kept his discretion.
This is the first time such an unmeasured action has been taken today.
But because of this, what the other party wants now is like a poor child who has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. One day he mustered up the courage to ask for a piece of candy he likes——
As the emperor, she was also his elder. No matter what she thought in her heart, she could not refuse this request in front of the public, both emotionally and rationally.
The emperor does not always act according to his will. On the contrary, just because he is an emperor, he has to worry about more trade-offs and sometimes has to make some concessions.
The choice of whether to compromise or not depends solely on the balance between gains and losses.
"Over the years, I have often worried about your marriage. Now that you have the person of your choice, I am very happy and consider myself to be complete."
Chang Kuo almost stood up when he heard this.
But he was secretly stopped by Yao Yi on the side, who signaled Chang Kuo to calm down with his eyes - I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet.
"However, when it comes to marriage, we must abide by the orders of our parents. Your father is still in Yizhou, so I can't make the decision alone." Emperor Shengce said with a smile: "I will send a message to ask about your father's wishes soon.
, if he agrees, I will marry you two today, what do you think?"
It would take some time to send letters to and from Yizhou, and there was still a lot of room for maneuver in how King Rong would reply.
Prince Rong looked grateful and his eyes lit up on his sickly face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"
Then, a smile appeared on his face: "To be honest, Your Majesty, as early as two months ago, my nephew had sent a letter back to Yizhou to express his feelings to his father. Before the Hibiscus Flower Party, my father's reply to the letter had arrived..."
"My father has no objection to this matter. He only said that he is now in the capital and everything must be obeyed by His Majesty."
"My nephew originally planned to use this flower party to express his feelings to His Majesty, so he brought his father's reply with him."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
The eyes of the Holy Book Emperor flashed slightly.
I came prepared.
It's just that he came prepared, and rather than using it to disrupt her plan, it seems more like being dizzy simply because of love.
Amidst the noise all around, the chamberlain took the letter and presented it to the Holy Emperor.
While the Holy Emperor was reading the letter, there was constant discussion around him.
"Girl..." Xi'er was really worried now.
The saint had just said that as long as King Rong had no objections, he would marry Prince Rong, but he did not care about or consider the wishes of the girl and the Chang family at all.
Changsui Ning doesn't notice any difference.
The emperor never asked about the wishes of the Chang family from beginning to end. Although this was to show that he would not hesitate to shirk what Prince Rong wanted, it was also a true reflection of the emperor's heart.
The wishes of ordinary people are never within the scope of the emperor's consideration.
Whether he recommends her to be the Crown Princess or agrees to Prince Rong's request to marry her as Crown Princess, the only things that affect the emperor's decision are pros and cons.
Her weight was too light, and the emperor had no need to worry about her wishes. Even if he had "concerns", it was only out of pros and cons.
Of course, from what the emperor said just now, it can be seen that he has no intention of pushing her out to become the crown prince's concubine——
Prince Kerong did not obey and insisted on doing so, and even took out the letter at the most appropriate time.
With this letter and the promise just now, "If King Rong agrees, I will grant you a marriage," it is hard to say what will happen to the Holy Emperor next.
"Lu'er seems to be serious about it." Emperor Shengce put down the letter.
"My nephew is weak and useless, and has no great ambitions. He just wants to spend this life with his sweetheart." Li Lu kowtowed his head, grateful and sincere: "Today I have been blessed by the saint, and my nephew is willing to stay in the capital forever and live by the saint's side.
filial piety."
The Holy Emperor smiled noncommittally and proactively promised to stay in the capital forever to fulfill his filial piety. Was this an exchange of conditions with her?
She didn't rush to say it clearly, she just said: "You are not in good health, how can you kneel for a long time? Get up and talk first."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."
Seeing Crown Prince Rong standing up in this room, Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "Prince Rong's infatuation can be seen from the moon, which is really impressive."
After a slight pause, he said: "It's just that marriage is not only about the fate of the parents, but also about the good relationship between the two surnames, and the word 'good' is indispensable for the two people to be happy..."
While Wei Shuyi was speaking, he looked at the female seat opposite and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Madam Chang's thoughts are the same as those of the Crown Prince?"
It is not convenient for the saint to say these words, otherwise it will appear to be a refusal, and it seems to imply that the woman refuses.
If the saint can't say it, let him, a minister, tell it - he often plays such a role in the court.
