Chapter 441: Talking about marriage
As soon as the turmoil passed, Prince Rong Yuwenyan did not move again.
He quieted down, but unexpectedly, it was quiet for another five years.
In five years, the son of heaven Yu Wenshuo also grew up.
After five years, Shen Liancheng and Chen Xiang let him deal with state affairs, and only mentioned him when appropriate, which made him grow up quickly.
treats courtiers, he rewards and punishes and judges, knows people well, and is better than the first emperor of the year. If it weren't for who he looked like, Shen Liancheng would talk to Shen Kuo, who had already disarmed and returned to the field, Shen Kuo would say that the Son of Heaven was very much like the founding emperor Zhou Taizu.
Born at the right time, I met such a young and virtuous and talented son of heaven, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all looking forward to a peaceful and prosperous era of long-term peace and stability.
However, to grow up means to marry and have children. The matter of choosing a queen for the Son of Heaven was finally put on the agenda.
Someone proposed in the court that the queen's candidate, Chen Wanqing, the only daughter of the female master and Chen Guogong, is the most suitable in terms of background, appearance, character, and age.
The person who made this statement was naturally Prince Rong's person.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiang immediately frowned. Those who were attached to him also knew that he and the maid were such a daughter, and they had absolutely no intention of sending her to the palace, although they did not understand it.
If the daughter of Chen Guogong and the female master enters the palace mother's world, wouldn't it be a very good thing? Not to mention the glory, Yu Chen Guogong has consolidated his position in the court, but it is very beneficial! But such a beautiful thing, Chen Guogong and the female master, they don't want to think about it.
Immediately, Chen Xiang even refuted it himself: "The dog girl is still young. Besides, my daughter-in-law and I are just such a daughter, and I want to keep her for a few more years. ”
"It is common for Chen Guogong to be reluctant to give up his daughter." Xue Tao, Marquis of Wucheng, stood up, and he sneered, "But the daughter of Chen Guogong and the female master is indeed the best candidate for the empress." Chen Guogong and the daughter-in-law were reluctant to let their daughter become a wife and mother early, so they could decide on this marriage, first choose a concubine for the Son of Heaven, and then set up a concubine. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiang couldn't help but glare at him, and then his cold gaze fell on Prince Rong.
It is enough for an official who has no vision to have such a proposal, and even after he refused, Xue Tao, Marquis of Wucheng, jumped out and said more! Mo Dao is this matter, and Prince Rong, who has been resting for many years, is instigating him behind his back?
"Lord Rong," at this time, Xue Tao turned to Prince Rong Yu Wenyan and asked, "You are also half of Mrs. Chen's father, what do you think of His Majesty's proposal?" ”
Yu Wenyan thought for a while and said with a smile: "This righteous daughter of this king is indeed born beautiful, intelligent, and beautiful, like a daughter-in-law, marrying into the palace to be a queen, it is naturally the best." However, this king is just a righteous father, with Chen Guogong here, how dare this king speak falsely? ”
It is cunning to say that you dare not say anything, but to say "it is no better"!
Chen Xiang was angry in his heart, but at this time, the Son of Heaven did not say a word.
Could it be that the Son of Heaven also has the intention of marrying his daughter as the queen? His daughter is so good, who doesn't like that?
Thinking like this, Chen Xiang immediately felt like he was facing a great enemy, and secretly clenched his fists.
It doesn't matter what the courtiers think or how they propose, but the matter after the establishment is very important, although it is a state matter, but it is also a family matter. And the Son of Heaven now has an idea, if he really has that mind for his daughter, then ...... Here's where things get tricky.
"Your Majesty," he hurriedly said, "and ask Wechen to go back and discuss with Uchiko." ”
When Tianzi Yu Wenshuo heard this, he was really happy to answer the word "good".
Chen Xiang's heart was empty, he guessed correctly, the Son of Heaven really had this thought! This is also fortunate that he said so, otherwise, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will clearly express his attitude in front of the ministers this time.
If the Son of Heaven spoke, it would be Shen Liancheng, and he would not be able to refuse.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, how many people were persuading Chen Xiang. He was overwhelmed, and with a fast step under his feet, he found an opportunity to leave the palace first.
When he returned home, he told Shen Liancheng about it, and said, "I'm afraid of this day!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll go into the palace to explain to the Son of Heaven." Shen Liancheng thought that as long as the Son of Heaven made sense of this matter and didn't follow the nonsense, it would not be implemented.
Outside the house, fourteen-year-old Chen Wanqing was slim and elegant, just like Shen Liancheng when he was young.
She just listened to her parents' conversation, and couldn't help but lean her back against the wall, angry for a while.
Then, she came to the Li house.
She wanted to see Li Kai and talk about her own affairs. However, Li Kai went to meet his friends with poetry and was not at home. Li Xuanning is here.
Seeing that she looked preoccupied, he naturally wanted to ask her, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Wanqing shook her head and didn't want to say anything.
Sixteen-year-old Li Xuaning is also very similar to Li Ji when he was a teenager. But his temperament was not Li Ji's happy and chic at that time. He is already young and old, introverted, and even a little gloomy, and when he asks about things, he is serious and very serious.
Chen Wanqing glanced at him and sighed, but felt that she couldn't talk to him, so she only shook her head and wanted to leave.
"If you don't say it, I'm going to ask the lady." Li Xuanning grabbed her wrist and didn't let her leave.
Chen Wanqing thought for a while and asked him rhetorically, "Brother Aning, I have a question for you." ”
Li Xuaning just let go of her, put one hand behind his back, squinted at her and said, "What's the problem?" ”
Chen Wanqing hesitated for a moment, and then plucked up the courage to ask, "Do you know why Brother Ah Kai didn't marry a wife at such an age?" ”
Li Xuaning thought of something sensitively and was a little unhappy. After being silent for a while, he told her, "I said that I wanted to start a business first and then start a family, but in fact, I just didn't meet the woman I liked." ”
"Don't you have a favorite woman......" Chen Wanqing listened, happy and disappointed.
Seeing her like this, Li Xuaning finally couldn't help it. He looked straight at her and asked, "Do you like Kai?" I loved it when I was young! ”
"No! What nonsense are you talking about? Chen Wanqing's mind was broken, and she immediately blushed and wanted to escape.
"Eldest brother, he won't marry you!" Li Xuaning said coldly at her fleeing back, and emphasized, "Never." ”
Chen Wanqing was stunned, patronizing and not convinced, but forgot to hide her sincerity. She turned around and asked Li Xuanning angrily, "Why not?" Besides, how do you know what Brother Kai thinks in his heart? ”
"How could I not know? I'm his own brother. Li Xuaning took a few steps forward and approached her, so he might as well tell her, "He said that he wouldn't marry you, and he would never." ”
"Did he say that?" Chen Wanqing was shocked and saddened.
"You like him, do you think we're all blind and can't see it?" Li Xuaning said, "If he wants to marry you, I have already asked for you." His answer is clear, no. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Chen Wanqing was annoyed and ashamed, her face flushed, "Brother Kai, he...... He was so good to me! Why don't you like me and don't want to marry me? ”
As she spoke, tears were already pouring out of her eyes, and she was about to cry.
