Chapter 256: I have taken a fancy to King Chen
Sang Chengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean, Xiaoxi has a sweetheart, and his thoughts become sick, so he will be like this?"
Liu Mei sighed: "Isn't that right? My daughter is so old, she must have her own thoughts, but you, as a father, have so many things to deal with every day, where can you take care of your daughter's thoughts?"
Sang Chengyuan said helplessly: "How can I know the girl's thoughts? Isn't it a little bad for this daughter's family to take the initiative?
Liu Mei smiled: "Master, in fact, I guess you also understand this matter in your heart, but you don't care too much about it now." ”
"What do I know? You might as well make it clear, what kind of dumb riddle do you play with me? You said that Xiaoxi has a sweetheart, could it be that it is Imperial Doctor Shen who treated her sick?"
Liu Mei saw Sang Chengyuan's reaction and sighed again and again.
"My lord is so shrewd in other things, why can't he turn a corner in this matter? My daughter and Imperial Physician Shen are just ordinary friends, hasn't she already made it clear to us?"
"Don't you women like duplicity? Since it's not Imperial Doctor Shen, then you can tell me, whose son is her sweetheart? Usually, I don't see that girl in contact with other people!"
"Xiaoxi is usually very regular, so she naturally contacts others casually. This person, in fact, the prince is also very optimistic. That is, His Royal Highness King Chen. ”
Liu Mei thought, King Chen is so good, and he is Sang Chengyuan's favorite person, if he said it, he must not object, maybe he can help come up with an idea and help his daughter promote this matter.
But who knows, when Sang Chengyuan heard this, his face turned black at that time.
"Nonsense! It's nonsense! Are you not sober, or is that girl not sober? No, I have to ask her for herself what she thinks. Doesn't she know who King Chen is? That's what she can remember?"
Liu Mei was taken aback by him, she didn't expect Sang Chengyuan to have such a big reaction.
"What's wrong with this? Aren't you also optimistic about His Royal Highness King Chen? It is impossible that the lord has not heard it, some time ago, everyone was rumoring that Xiaoxi and His Royal Highness King Chen had a very close personal relationship, and at that time, the relationship between His Royal Highness King Chen and the eldest lady was not so good. ”
Sang Chengyuan has heard of this. At that time, it wasn't that the relationship between Qingrou and King Chen was not good, and he was also worried that their marriage could not be decided, so he thought that if Xiaoxi could make King Chen fall in love, it would also be a good thing.
But now it's different!
On the top of the main hall, King Chen personally asked the emperor for marriage, which was completely different from the emperor's initiative to give marriage before. It's not that he can't see King Chen's thoughts about Qingrou now, but Liu Mei is now saying that Xiaoxi is also fond of King Chen, what is this called?
"Don't think about it, it's no one else, it's His Royal Highness King Chen. Who can influence the prince's thoughts? Even the emperor can't change the prince's decision, let alone you and me?"
Liu Mei said again: "But, didn't the prince like our daughter very much before? You men, who is not a third wife and four concubines, one is also married, and the two are not the same? Xiaoxi has never asked to be a concubine, she takes a step back, and it is good to have a side concubine. If you think about it carefully, even if you don't plan for Xiaoxi now, in the future, King Chen will marry a side concubine. Why should we be cheaper for other women?"
At first glance, Liu Mei's words seem to have some truth.
It's just that......
Sang Chengyuan thought about it, but still shook his head: "Still can't do it! Think about it yourself, can Xiaoxi and Qingrou coexist peacefully? Don't you haven't seen what their sisters have become in the mansion, if they marry together and go to the palace of Chenwangfu, and then compete for favor in the palace, how will they be a family in the future?"
Liu Mei saw that she couldn't say anything, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Master, aren't you showing your eccentricity? Don't forget, Xiaoxi is also your daughter, she is a concubine, and I still want to make her the main room, so that she will not be bullied like me in the future, and she will not be able to raise her head. Now that she has someone she likes, and she is willing to be a concubine, why are you still unwilling? Do you know how much sacrifice she made in this decision?"
"You don't have to tell me this here, don't I know? His Royal Highness King Chen's side concubine, can that be compared to the wives of ordinary people? If His Royal Highness King Chen really likes Xiaoxi, he will naturally open his mouth to me, where can we take the initiative to send it to the door. ”
"If you don't send it to the door, others will do the same. Why don't you understand such a truth? It's a shame that you're still the prime minister of the court!"
Sang Chengyuan's eyes widened, when did Liu Mei be so bold as to dare to count him?
"Don't be hot, take that girl's words. I think she's either really sick or pretending to be sick and just wants you to lobby me. I'm going to talk to her about it, His Royal Highness King Chen is her future brother-in-law, how can she worry about her brother-in-law?"
"The eldest lady is your daughter, isn't we Xiaoxi? Master, I have been wronged for so many years, and now if I can't let my daughter marry the person I like, what use will I have? I have never begged you for anything in my life, just this time, can't you rely on the concubine?"
Liu Mei said, and suddenly cried aggrievedly.
Sang Chengyuan suddenly felt that his head was big, he couldn't see a woman shed tears, Liu Mei cried so much that he began to feel distressed again.
"This matter is not as simple as you think, why can't you listen to it? If it is someone else, I can still think of some way, but this person is King Chen, if King Chen doesn't like our daughter, I will force him to give it, what will the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty think of me, have you thought about it? My two daughters are married to His Royal Highness King Chen, have you ever thought about what the emperor will think of me?"
"Who said that the eldest lady must marry His Royal Highness King Chen? Didn't the eldest lady keep saying that she didn't like King Chen anymore and didn't want to be Princess Chen? Since she didn't want to, then fulfill her sister, why not?"
"The emperor's order is above, how can you be allowed to play with it? Okay! This thing can't be messed around, King Chen's idea is the most important, you must not come nonsense, you know?"
Liu Mei said, kneeling on the ground with a pop, looking at Sang Chengyuan with tears in her eyes.
"Master, in my life, I beg you this time. The concubine is such a daughter, and she must not watch her die of depression. Our daughter's life is in your hands, and you can't watch her die. Lovesickness becomes a disease, and there is no medicine for medicine. You can't be unaware! You can see what she's like now. I beg you, concubine!"
