Chapter 22: The Emperor Forced Marriage

In the past few days, Yang Haolong has been restless. As time passed, Ou Yi never found it, which made her very worried.

It wasn't until today that she accidentally passed by the prince's study, and after hearing the conversation inside, she realized what a mistake she had made!

"Prince, that Ou Yi has been locked up for so many days, what do you think will be done?" The people around the prince are asking for advice.

"That woman is such a nuisance! Unexpectedly, many years ago, the Xu family still had fish that slipped through the net. The prince had a slight headache, "I don't know how long I can hide this from Yang Shaoqing." ”

"If Ou Yi is the Xu family, will the Xu woman next to Yang Shaoqing be too?" It happens to be surnamed Xu again, and it's hard not to be reminiscent.

"You go investigate right away! If that Xu Wu is really the Xu family. The prince's face was gloomy, "She can't stay!" ”

It turned out that it was the prince who locked Ou Yi up, no wonder she couldn't find anyone no matter how much she looked for it. What's more, the prince has begun to suspect Xu Wu. Yang Haolong couldn't help clenching his fists, pretending to be okay and silently leaving the study.

"Sister-in-law, you let Ah Yue in, you stay outside the door, no one can let them in!" Yang Haolong explained to Xu Wu with a solemn expression.

Seeing that the situation was serious, Xu Wu also nodded solemnly and went out.

Yang Haolong told Ah Yue everything she heard, and asked Ah Yue to secretly look for Ou Yi in the prince's mansion. Listening to what the prince said, Ou Yi should be a certain person who was locked up in the prince's mansion. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, this is the truth.

"And what about when you find it?" Ah Yue couldn't help but worry about what happened next.

"Naturally, if you find an opportunity, you will leave!" Yang Haolong sneered: "We can't stay in this prince's mansion anymore!" Even if the emperor wants to blame in the future, if he can't even save his life, does he care if he disobeys the emperor's order or not? "It's just that since the fox prince has arrested Ouyi, he still pretends to help her find someone, the depth of the city is staggering!

"Understood, my subordinates are going to find out the news."

When Ah Yue turned around and was about to leave, Yang Haolong asked coldly: "Sister Ou Yi likes you, do you know?" ”

Ah Yue's body stiffened, biting his lower lip and not speaking.

"What are you going to do? She's my sister-in-law! Yang Haolong stared at Ah Yue's back and said.

"Subordinate, all listen to the young master's orders."

I couldn't hear his feelings, but it made Yang Haolong angry: "This is your own feelings, and it should be up to you to decide!" You let me help you arrange your marriage? If I ask you to marry a woman you don't love in the future, won't you resist? ”

"Yes. The life of the subordinates is the young master's, and even the subordinates can be handed over to the young master, let alone marriage? ”

"You!" Yang Haolong slapped the table and stood up, "Ah Yue! You're so mad at me! ”

The concept of master and servant in this era is deep-rooted, and what the master says, the subordinates must not resist. Even if it kills you, you can't say anything as a minion, let alone just an arranged marriage?

Ah Yue just stood there and didn't say a word. Yang Haolong couldn't say anything more, so he could only wave his hand: "You go and do things first, and we'll talk about this later." ”

After a while, Xu Wu walked in: "Young master, the slave maid saw Brother Yue go out with a blue face, did something happen?" ”

"Sister-in-law, now I'm going to ask you something, and you must answer honestly!" Yang Haolong felt that the future of these three people could not be clear.

"Young master, if you ask, the slave will definitely answer truthfully." Yang Haolong is her master, let alone asking some questions, even if she is sold again.

"Do you like Ah Yue?" Yang Haolong got straight to the point.

Xu Wu's body stiffened, and it took a long time before she asked, "Did Brother Yue propose to the young master?" "In this era, if the subordinate has merit, and then proposes to the master, as long as the master agrees, you are just a slave, and you have no right to object at all.

At this time, Yang Haolong was stunned: "Do you know that he likes you?" Did he confess to you? ”

Xu Wu bit her lip and shook her head: "No, Brother Yue didn't confess to me." ”

"Do you like him, then?" Yang Haolong asked again.

Xu Wu's face was a little pale, and she said, "I'...... My sister likes him. ”

"I'm asking about you, not Ouyi!" This girl wants to change the topic?

However, this time Xu Wu didn't say anything. Seeing Xu Wan's expression, Yang Haolong sighed, isn't this obvious? It must be that Xu Wu knows that Ouyi likes Ah Yue, so no matter whether she likes Ah Yue or not, she is deliberately keeping a distance from Ah Yue.

"Forget it, let's go down."

Getting Yang Haolong's words, Xu Wu was relieved.

Recently, Princess Yuehua didn't think about tea and dinner, and everyone who served the princess knew that this was the princess thinking about spring, and she was guilty of lovesickness!

No, this Yang Shaoqing hasn't been here for a few days, and the princess can't eat for a few days.

"What about people? What is the excuse for not coming today? Princess Yuehua was angry, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her did not dare to answer.

Until a eunuch stumbled in: "Back to the princess, Yang Shaoqing is discussing political affairs with the emperor in the imperial study today." ”

With a "snap", Princess Yuehua swept away the things on the table, and the sound of the teapot falling to the ground shocked the palace maids and eunuchs to say more.

"In that case, Hongu will go and see for yourself!" He didn't come, did he? Okay, here she goes!

The emperor was discussing political affairs with Yang Haolong at this time, and Princess Yuehua directly broke into the imperial study without notification.

Maybe it was because of his heart, afraid of being heard by Princess Yuehua, the emperor couldn't help but be angry: "Presumptuous! Why did you just break in? I don't know the rules anymore! ”

Princess Yuehua knew that she was too much, so she immediately turned into a little bird, leaned on the emperor, and said coquettishly: "Father, the emperor ......"

Princess Yuehua dragged the emperor's arm and shook it: "Father, the son didn't mean it, but I heard that Yang Shaoqing was detained by my father, so I was in a hurry to break in, and my father must not blame my son." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, he was just looking for Yang Haolong to discuss some things, why did he detain people? "Nonsense! Where did you hear that your father detained Yang Shaoqing? ”

Princess Yuehua also felt that she was exaggerating, and whispered at the moment: "The son is wrong, don't be angry!" ”

He had never been wrong with her. No, as soon as she was coquettish, he disarmed and surrendered. "You can't do that in the future, you know?"

"Hmm." Princess Yuehua nodded obediently.

"If Princess Yuehua finds the emperor for something, Weichen will retire first." Yang Haolong said silently.

Princess Yuehua glared at her again and again, looking at her with a sad expression. The emperor took this in his eyes, thinking about what had happened these days, he probably knew something, so he smiled and said: "Yang Shaoqing, don't worry, it just so happens that Yuehua is here, we might as well discuss the princess's marriage together." ”

Yang Haolong was stunned, what does this princess's wedding have to do with her? Princess Yuehua became embarrassed after hearing the emperor's words: "Father! ”

"Yang Shaoqing, what do you think of the princess?" The Emperor asked tentatively.

Even if it's not good, you can't say half a bad word in front of the emperor at this time? Yang Haolong was speechless: "The princess is gentle and considerate, and her appearance is generous, showing everyone's beauty." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, while Princess Yuehua lowered her head, not daring to look at Yang Haolong.

"Does Yang Shaoqing have a wife and concubine at home?" If you marry a wife, it will be a little troublesome, but if it is just a concubine, the emperor will help the princess dispose of it.

"Not at the moment." Yang Haolong looked at the emperor vigilantly. Didn't you say that the princess's marriage was discussed? Why did you ask her head?

"In that case, why don't I marry Princess Yuehua to Yang Shaoqing?" The emperor smiled.

The Son of Heaven gave her marriage, and she was still the most favored princess in Zhao Kingdom, and normal people would thank her, but Yang Haolong's face changed greatly after hearing it. She knelt down at once: "Never! ”

As early as many years ago, the emperor had a decree to exempt Yang Haolong from kneeling, but now Yang Haolong actually knelt in front of him in order to refuse marriage?

I thought that Yang Haolong would happily thank Lord Longen, but now it is like this? The princess's face changed dramatically, and her body trembled.

How could his precious princess ever suffer such humiliation? At the moment, the emperor's tone was also unkind: "Yang Shaoqing, didn't you say before that you didn't marry a wife and concubine?" also said that the princess was good, why did she refuse? ”

These are two different things! Xu Wu's prophecy came true! Is the emperor a forced marriage now? Yang Haolong couldn't help but be a little nervous, if the emperor insisted on giving a decree to give marriage, could it be that she really wanted to resist the decree?

She wiped her sweat, gritted her teeth and said, "Back to the emperor, it's really that Weichen already has a sweetheart, so he can't accept the princess's wishes." ”

"Is that Xu Wu?" The emperor's face changed greatly, "It's just a slave, if you really like it, you can take it as a concubine by your side in the future, and it won't affect the marriage with the princess at all." ”

Hearing Yang Haolong admit that he liked others, Princess Yuehua was unhappy. But it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so although she heard that her father asked Yang Haolong to accept a concubine, she was just relieved to feel uncomfortable.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, Weichen believes in 'one life and one couple'. If you truly love someone, you will marry her alone. Instead of marrying one after another, but telling her, I love you the most, and you don't have to worry about other women surpassing your status. Yang Haolong looked at the emperor with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "What a woman wants is not the most loved, but the only one!" ”

Now, the emperor is really angry! Yang Haolong is mocking him? Because of this sentence, he also said it to Concubine Rou. The person he loves most in his life is Concubine Rou, but for various reasons, he can't make her his queen, and he has to keep marrying many concubines back. The only guarantee is that he will always love her and will not let other women ride on her head, not even the queen. It can be known from the pair of children born to his exclusive favorite concubine.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious, "If I want you to marry a princess, you will marry!" If you say one more thing, it is disrespectful! ”
