Chapter Forty-Eight: The Prince's Wrath
"What, my father plans to make that wood-like Fu Xiaowu my crown princess?" In the prince's palace, as soon as the prince heard the news, he immediately exploded, and kicked the round table in front of him, the round table was kicked over, and a set of celadon teapots and tea cups on the table were all swept to the ground, and the "ping pong" was shattered.
Everyone present was silent, and their heads hung low, for fear of harming the pond fish.
The crown prince was still angry, and said hatefully: "What the hell is going on? In the court, what did that Yuanning Marquis say to his father, how did he give my family affairs for no reason? That Gu Mutou ......"
He thought of the situation at yesterday's Piaoxiang Community Ying Meeting, and suddenly had an epiphany: "Could it be that Gu Mutou who has taken a fancy to the prince of Ben?"
He paced back and forth for several rounds, becoming more and more affirmative: "Changde, didn't you say last time that Gu Mutou also handed a love letter to King Su? The last time she saw the cold King Su, she could like him, and now that she has seen Prince Ben in the wind of Yushu, she naturally targets Prince Ben." This Gu Mutou really dared to be ambitious, and he actually looked at the position of the crown princess. Is this prince such a hungry person that he must be able to look down on her?"
Chang De is the personal eunuch next to the prince, and when he heard the prince say this, he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the prince, the slave didn't expect that Gu Xiaowu looked wooden, but he had such a big heart, and urged Yuanning Hou to propose marriage for her, it seems that this Gu girl really can't be underestimated." Last time she fell in love with King Su, but King Su didn't like her, and yesterday she fell in love with the prince again in the Piaoxiang Society...... However, what a noble figure our crown prince is, and the crown princess should also be a dignified and innocent person who follows the rules, where can it be that Gu Xiaowu is such a strange person?"
The prince's face paleated slightly, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Changde, you said that I should go to my father and the emperor now to make it clear and refuse this family business?"
Chang De hurriedly said: "The prince must not." Now everyone speculates that the emperor just has this thought, after all, his mind is undecided, and the prince will only anger the emperor and leave a bad impression on the emperor if he goes forward like this. According to the minion, it is better to wait and see for a few days before making plans. ”
"How many more days will you wait?" the prince's anger came up again, "Wait a few more days, the daylilies will be cold, and when the day my father reads the edict, everyone will be sent to the palace, will the prince still have room to return?"
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more disgusted he became, he couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up suddenly: "I want to make it clear to my father!"
"Prince, don't be impulsive!" Chang De hurriedly grabbed him. Although his own master has been designated as the crown prince, isn't there still a third prince? If you don't pay attention to your words and deeds, if you anger the emperor, it is not unheard of in the history of the dismissal of the crown prince.
"Prince, you can't go to the emperor's place, but there is a place you can still go. Chang De saw that the prince looked anxious, his eyes rolled, he thought of someone, and immediately said.
"You're talking about...... Imperial grandmother?" The prince wrinkled his brows, "But now that the imperial grandmother is taking refuge in Wanshou Mountain, where can this distant water save the near fire!"
"What did the prince say, what far water can't save the near fire! Isn't the old woman here to put out the fire?" At this moment, a slightly dull voice came from outside, and I heard a trace of old age inside, presumably an old mother, but the voice was loud, and it seemed to be very full of energy.
It is the most powerful mother Shen beside the Queen Mother.
The prince was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him: "Mother Shen, haven't you been serving the imperial grandmother in Wanshou Mountain, why did you have time to go back to the palace?"
Shen's mother is over fifty years old, but there is no trace of frost white on her temples, she is wearing a smoky gray sara jacket, and she walks energetically, she is the queen mother's dowry girl, and has been following the queen mother for decades, and has won the trust of the queen mother, and is the left arm and right arm of the queen mother.
She walked up to the prince and stood still, and said with a smile: "The prince, you have always been good, if the old body was not ordered by the queen mother, how could he leave Wanshou Mountain and come to the palace to help the prince?"
The prince was overjoyed, and swept away Fang Cai's anxiety: "So, the Queen Mother also got the news in Wanshou Palace?"
Mother Shen smiled coldly: "Although the Queen Mother is far away in Wanshou Mountain, can the things in this palace be hidden from her old man? However, this time, it was the credit of Wenxiang. ”
"Wen Xiang?" the prince didn't know why, "What did that bad old man say to the Queen Mother?"
Mother Shen's expression froze: "Prince, Hugh has to be unreasonable to Wen Xiang. That old prime minister is a veteran of the three dynasties, although he is sometimes confused, but he still understands the major matters very well, otherwise, how could he repair the book to the queen mother and let the queen mother relieve the siege for the prince?"
The prince is not a person who is easy to fool, he thought about it for a while, and he understood what was going on, and couldn't help sneering: "That old man has nothing to do with this prince, I'm afraid he has a plan, right?"
Mother Shen smiled: "Of course. ”
"Then ......," the crown prince furrowed his brows, "what promise did the imperial grandmother make to that dead old man?
Mother Shen didn't answer the prince's words directly, but only smiled and said, "That Gu family girl, is the prince willing to marry the crown princess?"
The prince glared at her and said angrily: "Of course it is impossible for me to marry her." Even if Prince Ben marries a deaf and dumb person who can be empathetic, he is much better than that Gu Mutou. ”
"That's good. Mother Shen said with a smile, "The Queen Mother loves the prince so much, how can she be willing to marry her own grandson to an old deaf and dumb person? ”
"Who said I was willing?" the prince disagreed, but his tone was obviously much better, "As long as you don't marry that Gu Mutou." ”
"What about Wenxiang's granddaughter?" said Shen's mother with a smile.
"Wenxiang's granddaughter?" the prince suddenly thought of the bright-eyed woman yesterday, who was also beautiful, and the point was that she was very good at talking. Since you want to establish a crown princess, you will have to live together in the future, of course, it can't be that Mu Ne's Gu Mutou. The prince is very smart, he understands his identity very well, it is a matter of time before he becomes a princess, and it is not possible to fulfill his wishes, even so, of course, the other party is a person who can look at eyes, speak, and please him.
So the prince nodded and said, "It's okay, as long as it's not that Gu Mutou." ”
Mother Shen thought that it would take a lot of lip service to convince the prince, but she didn't expect the prince to be so enlightened and understandable. So he said happily: "It's great that the prince can think like this, it would be great, with a veteran of the three dynasties like Wenxiang to support the prince, the prince's position will be stable in the future, and it will be a matter of time before he inherits the unification." ”
The prince struggled to squeeze out a smile. His marriage has always been up to him. He didn't think too much about it, anyway, the one who could help him to the throne and clear the obstacles for him was the one who was useful to him, which was taught to him by the imperial grandmother.
