"Mother!" Xuanyuan Jue rushed into the imperial concubine's bedroom angrily, but was surprised to see that the emperor was also there, and was surprised for a moment, and quickly relieved himself and asked the emperor to say goodbye, "Erchen asks for peace to my father." ”

"Get up." The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a kind face and said: "It's so good that you came, your mother is choosing a candidate for the eighth princess for you, come and see what kind of woman you like." ”

"Pick a candidate for the Eighth Imperial Princess?" Xuanyuan Jue took a deep breath, looked at the imperial concubine with displeasure, and refused with a serious face: "Father, the son doesn't want to get married for the time being." ”

The emperor, who was looking at the portrait, heard Xuanyuan Jue say this, the movement in his hand paused, put down the portrait and looked up at him: "I don't want to get married, why?" Is it that these women can't see it, or do you have another woman in mind? ”

Concubine Huangxian looked at the slightly tense atmosphere between the emperor and Xuanyuan Jue, worried that Xuanyuan Jue would say something that should not be said under impulse, and immediately came forward to play a round and said: "Your Majesty, Jue'er is busy with the affairs of the court all day long, how can he have time to know any girl, I think he must not have opened his mind in this regard." ”

"Really?" The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is even more necessary to get married as soon as possible, and men will mature after marriage." When I was your age, the eldest prince and the second prince were already able to run. ”

Xuanyuan Jue frowned and wanted to refute the emperor's words, but was pulled by the imperial concubine without a trace, and the imperial concubine said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that the concubines also think so, so if you want to marry a wife and concubine for him as soon as possible, you can take care of him, it would be great if we opened up the branches and leaves for our royal family as soon as possible, our royal family has heard the cry of a little baby for a long time." ”

The emperor's words made the emperor nod approvingly, "Eighth prince, what your mother said is right, you have also reached the age of marriage, marry a eighth princess as soon as possible, so as not to let your mother worry about you." ”

The emperor's words made Xuanyuan Jue refuse, nor did he answer, so he had to stand aside silently with his head down.

"Your Majesty, you see that the emperor will be shy and embarrassed when he hears us talk about this kind of thing." Concubine Huangxian deliberately found a high-sounding reason for Xuanyuan Jue's displeasure.

The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Jue a few times, and then returned his gaze to the portraits and said: "I think these women are good, and they are very compatible with the eighth prince, what do you think, concubine?" ”

"Of course the concubines believe in the emperor's vision, and the concubines also think that these girls are very good-looking, and the concubines also like them very much." Concubine Huangxian said with a smile.

"Eighth Prince, what do you think?" The emperor deliberately asked Xuanyuan Jue, who had been silent, "Are you satisfied with these women?" ”

Xuanyuan Jue didn't even raise his head, and said perfunctorily: "It's good if my father and mother like it." ”

Hearing Xuanyuan Jue say this, the expression on the emperor's face immediately sank, and he asked with some displeasure, "What is this called?" This person is what you want to marry, what's the use of me and your mother's concubine liking, the important thing is that you like it. ”

"Father, is it true that as long as I like someone, no matter what identity it is, you will agree to me marrying her?" Xuanyuan Jue plucked up the courage to ask the emperor.

"Jue'er!" Concubine Huangxian shouted nervously, and immediately walked to Xuanyuan Jue's side and pulled his arm to secretly remind him not to talk nonsense, "You are the prince, how can you marry a woman who is not worthy of your identity casually?" ”

The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue's firm gaze, and then looked at Concubine Huangxian's somewhat panicked expression, knowing that the two of them must have something to hide from themselves, so he asked with a serious face: "Then you have to tell me who the person you like first, so that I can answer whether you agree with this marriage or not." ”

"Father said this, in fact, you still have to consider her back and scenery, right?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at the emperor with some disappointment.

"Of course, just like your mother said, you are not only you, you are also the prince of Beiming Kingdom, and your words and deeds also represent the image of the royal family of Beiming Kingdom, I have decided not to allow anyone to disgrace the royal family." The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue and said.

"Then I'd rather -" Not to be the prince of Beiming Kingdom, Xuanyuan Jue was interrupted by the Imperial Concubine before he could say the next words.

"Shut up!" Concubine Huangxian slapped Xuanyuan Jue excitedly, if she hadn't stopped it in time, Xuanyuan Jue might have said something that would make the emperor angry. Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Jue with an angry face and said: "Cut off those thoughts that you shouldn't have in your mind, no matter what kind of woman you like, if you are not worthy of your identity, this palace will not agree." Since ancient times, the order of parents, the words of matchmakers, if you don't want to choose one of those girls, then the palace will personally help you choose one to be your princess. ”

Looking at the angry Imperial Concubine, the Emperor and Xuanyuan Jue were slightly surprised, they didn't expect that the always gentle and kind Imperial Concubine would be angry and angry, and even beat people.

"Concubine Xian doesn't need to be angry." The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a stubborn face, and said angrily: "I always thought you were very filial, but you disappointed me too much today, don't talk about your marriage anymore, everything is arranged by your mother." ”

"Father!" Xuanyuan Jue opened his mouth to refuse, but when he saw the emperor's glare, and looked at the imperial concubine who was both angry and sad, Xuanyuan Jue had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say anything in the face of them.

"Okay, don't say anything more, comfort and comfort your mother, if you continue to make your mother angry, I will never spare you." The emperor warned Xuanyuan Jue, seeing that he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so he said to the imperial concubine: "I still have some things to deal with, I have to go back first, you don't have to worry too much about the eighth prince, if he is disobedient, tell me, I will treat him well." ”

"Thank you, the emperor is annoying." Concubine Huangxian said softly, and sent the emperor away with Xuanyuan Jue before returning to the house and talking behind closed doors.

"You went to the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion to find the Nine Emperor Princesses?" As soon as the door closed, Xuanyuan Jue asked Concubine Huangxian in displeasure, "Why did you go to her?" ”

"I'm just going to talk to her, can't I go to the palace and talk to her?" Hearing Xuanyuan Jue's questioning, Concubine Huangxian was also a little unhappy, thinking that he was defending Murong Xuanji and blaming herself.

"If you really want to find someone to talk to and find her, then I have nothing to say, but you are looking for her for another purpose, how can you make me calm?" Xuanyuan Jue took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Yes, I did have something to do with her. I want her to help me choose a princess for you, can't I? Concubine Huangxian admitted calmly, "She is a smart person, and she has a lot of contact with you, so she should know what kind of woman you like, so I went to ask her, is it okay for her to give her advice?" ”

"It's my private matter, why should you ask someone else? How are you going to make me face her in the future? Xuanyuan Jue asked the Imperial Concubine angrily.

"What's wrong with you?" When Concubine Huangxian heard Xuanyuan Jue say this, she was even more suspicious of the relationship between him and Murong Xuanji, and said in a serious tone: "She is the wife of the Nine Emperor Princes and the wife of your younger brother, you are a family, you can't have any thoughts about her that you shouldn't have." ”

"Mother, what are you talking nonsense?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at Concubine Huangxian with a puzzled expression, not understanding the meaning of her words, "Of course I know that she is the wife of the Nine Emperor Brothers, and I have always treated her as a younger brother and sister, where did you think of it?" ”

Seeing that the seriousness on Xuanyuan Jue's face didn't seem to be speaking, Concubine Huangxian was also a little confused, and blurted out and asked, "Isn't the woman you like the Nine Emperor Princess?" ”

Xuanyuan Jue looked at Concubine Huangxian with an incredulous expression, and felt very crying and laughing, "Mother Concubine, how can you think that I like her, how can I like her even if I know that she is the wife of the Nine Emperor Brothers?" I'm not crazy yet. ”

Xuanyuan Jue's reaction made Concubine Huangxian completely puzzled, "But I see that your relationship is very good, you often go to the Nine Emperors' Mansion to find her, and you have always refused to tell the identity of the woman you like, and recently you have done your best for the affairs of Murong Mansion, so I suspect that the person you like is her." ”

"Mother, the person I like is not the Nine Emperor Princesses. I will always go to the Nine Emperor Prince's Mansion to find her to discuss the rescue of General Murong and his three sons, and the reason why I will do my best for the affairs of Murong Mansion is because I promised the Nine Emperor Brothers to help him rescue the people of Murong Mansion, because the Nine Emperor Brothers know that only by rescuing the people of Murong Mansion, the Nine Emperor Princesses will not worry, and I do this entirely because of the Nine Emperor Brothers. Xuanyuan Jue explained to the Imperial Concubine with a serious face.

"If the person you like is not the Nine Emperor Princesses, then who is the woman you like?" Hearing that Xuanyuan Jue didn't like Murong Xuanji, Concubine Huangxian breathed a sigh of relief, but soon said with a worried face: "You won't like any strange woman, right?" ”

"Mother, I do have someone I like." Xuanyuan Jue thought for a moment and decided to confess to Concubine Huangxian, "But I can't tell you who she is now, because she doesn't know that I like her yet, and I don't think you and my father can accept her identity for a while, so I plan to tell you after you can accept her identity." ”

"If you don't tell me who she is, I'll never accept her." Concubine Huangxian threatened Xuanyuan Jue.

Xuanyuan Jue shook her head very firmly and said, "I can only tell you that she is a very nice and very kind girl. ”

Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Jue's eyes, knowing that he couldn't listen to his words at all now, so she stopped forcing him, and said in a softened tone: "I believe you for the time being, but I can tell you with certainty that the woman you want to marry must be a family member with you, even if she is not a princess of another country, at least she is the daughter of the prince's minister's family." ”

"She's not a princess, and she's not a daughter, but I just like her, and I have to be her." Xuanyuan Jue put aside his determination and turned around and left the imperial concubine's bedroom.

Concubine Huangxian watched Xuanyuan Jue leave, feeling that her headache was about to blow up, her eyes were dark, and she almost didn't stand firm and fell, but fortunately, she held on to the table next to her in time and sat down slowly, and waited until the headache slowly reduced before she felt that she was breathing easier.

"Someone, hurry up." Concubine Huangxian shouted a little out of shape, and when she saw Mama running in, she immediately ordered solemnly, "Immediately, immediately find someone to continue to follow the Eighth Prince, and also inquire to see which woman he is closer to besides walking more with the Ninth Emperor Princess." ”

"Don't worry, master, the person the old slave was looking for before is still following the Eighth Prince!" Mama nodded and said, "Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it to make your body angry." ”

"The Eighth Prince has disappointed me so much. The more he refused to reveal the identity of that woman, I was not at ease, and that woman was definitely not a good woman. Concubine Huangxian said worriedly.

"Master, even if the Eighth Prince likes that girl so much, as long as you arrange a marriage for him, can he still refuse? Besides, even the emperor is on your side, what else do you have to worry about? When you arrange everything for him, by then the wood is already in the boat, even if the Eighth Prince wants to regret it, the concubine of the Eighth Prince's Mansion has already married into the mansion, and he can't change it if he wants to. Mama was on the sidelines with an idea.

"Is that okay?" Concubine Huangxian asked suspiciously: "Although the eighth prince looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, he is stubborn and has a worse temper than anyone else, if he hides everything from him, will he leave with that woman without caring about anything!" ”

"You are the mother of the Eighth Prince, no matter how good that woman is, it can't compare to your status in the heart of the Eighth Prince, will the Eighth Prince really not want his own mother for a woman?" Mama persuaded the imperial concubine with confidence.

Concubine Huangxian still glanced at the portraits on the table with some hesitation, and the woman on one of the portraits attracted the attention of Concubine Huangxian, pointing to her portrait and saying to Mama: "Bring this girl into the palace to show the palace." ”
