Chapter 226: Marriage

Su Chen was immersed in the great joy of Princess Xiao's pardon, and forgot the reason why she came here this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when he thought of what his father said, he felt incredible.

Father said that the Ice Jade Palace had been cleaned......

The father said that only Princess Xiao recognized the old thing......

Is the scene that I have dreamed of countless times really coming true now? Over the years, for the sake of the princess and his mother, for this matter, he can't remember how many times he has confronted his father, how many times his relationship with his father has been rigid, and how many times his father and son have turned against each other. It wasn't until later that he was finally disheartened and no longer wanted to stay in the palace......

But today, the princess is about to resume her concubine position, and he feels unreal......

The joy in my heart dissipated, and then I felt a sadness, and in an instant, my chest was full of mixed tastes. Concubine ...... Is it really that important to the princess now? Is it really all right to take you back to the palace?

The princess's heart is so high, if she hadn't been outspoken back then, she wouldn't have fallen into this miserable situation. She is afraid that she will not even give her father a chance to apologize and admit her mistakes. What's more, the body is already crippled, and after many years, I don't know if the resentment and anger in my heart will dissipate.

"Chen'er?" Seeing that his expression was complicated, the king shouted again.

Su Chen came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Father......"

"What are you thinking?"

Su Chen shook his head and did not speak.

The king stared at him for a moment, his expression a little hesitant, "Do you know why I called you over today?" ”

"I don't know."

"Then do you know that the prince came over yesterday and said something to me?"

Speaking of the crown prince, Su Chen was even more puzzled and shook his head again.

"Prince...... I'm coming to crusade against you. The king said leisurely, Su Chen frowned, raised his eyes to look at his father, but saw his father's expression leisurely, and he looked at himself with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

What happened two days ago suddenly came to mind, in the cell of the East Palace, the prince seemed to have turned off the fire, but in fact, he secretly remembered it, and actually told his father about his overnight stay in the prison cell? Su Chen was stunned, only to feel cold, his face turned slightly pale, and he lowered his head and was silent.

It turned out that his father called him over to ask for guilt, and even implicated Tang Guxi...... Father-in-law Wan said it was a good thing on the road, why did he play tricks on himself?

"He said, your ...... in the East Palace"

"Father!" Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Chen kneeling on the ground with a puff, "Father, it's the son's fault that shouldn't break into the East Palace, let alone stay in the prison cell at night!" This matter is Chen'er's fault, and she begs her father not to blame Xiao ...... Don't blame Miss Tang, she was innocent, completely unaware, she was sleeping at the time-"

Su Chen stopped, because at this moment, he suddenly heard his father's laughter. The laughter came strangely, and he couldn't help but be confused, and he looked up at his father at a loss, and he didn't know why......

"Do you know what I'm going to say?" The king stopped laughing, "Yes, the prince told me about the two of you, but how do you know how I want to punish you two?" ”

"No matter how you punish ......," Su Chen said gloomily, "It's all Erchen's fault, Erchen just wants to tell his father, Miss Tang doesn't know, it's all Erchen's confusion for a while, which affects her." She was a distinguished guest of the General's Mansion and a guest of her father's palace, and her son-in-law just wanted to send her some food and clothing that day, but she didn't expect that she would get drunk here and fall asleep......"

The king didn't laugh anymore, nor did he interrupt him again, but listened quietly, nodded his head "um", and thought for a while. Then he got up from his seat, paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, bowed his head in contemplation, and said nothing.

Su Chen looked at his father, his face was worried, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

"In that case, I'm going to punish you both." He said, turning around, "I will punish her and stay in the palace forever......"

"No! Father, never! Su Chen exclaimed, his eyes slightly begging, "Father, didn't you say that you will not be held accountable for her crimes?" If you decide to imprison her for the sake of your son, then you will become a sinner, if you really do this, you will send your son into a catastrophe, and your son would rather take her place and go to prison for her! ”

When these words came out, the king's heart was quite shaken, his face became a little more serious, and he looked at Su Chen, like a stone sculpture, motionless.

Su Chen knew that his father was angry, but he still looked up to meet his father's gaze, without the slightest intention of retreating.

After a moment of stalemate, the king withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and nodded, his gaze fell somewhere on the ground, and sighed: "Among the many princes, you are the only one, and you are the same as when I was young......"

He stepped forward, bent down to help Su Chen, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to arrange the family affairs of the two of you." ”

Family affairs?

Su Chen was completely stunned, his face turned from white to blue, and then to red......

"Now, the crown prince already has a princess, and the other princes also have concubines one by one. You are the only one, and you were sent Chen'er, you insisted on refusing to marry before, and your father obeyed you, but now, you have a favorite person, and the two are in love, why don't you bring it up to me? ”

Su Chen listened to his father's words, still in a daze......

"I know that over the years, there has been a lot of estrangement between you and me. But isn't it all melted now? Maybe you are still resentful and incomprehensible about the princess's affairs...... However, the rice has become porridge, and it is difficult to harvest it when it is covered with water, and I have reached this point, are you still not satisfied? No matter what, no matter what you think in your heart, don't embarrass yourself......"

After the king finished speaking, he stared at him, waiting for Su Chen's answer.

After a long time, he seemed to react, his face had returned to normal, but there was no surprise he imagined, but his eyebrows were lowered, and he said dejectedly: "Father's kindness...... Erchen understands it, but Erchen can't marry her......"

"Why?" The king frowned.

Su Chen smiled dismally and said: "Xiaoxi was originally a person who advocates freedom, and when she left home and traveled south, she just wanted to get rid of the comfort and marriage at home...... How could the retainers bind her here against her will? ”

When the king heard this, the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, he pondered for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I don't want to restrain her...... I know, I know that she is going to the south, and she is going back to Xizhou......"

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and there was a touch of confusion and loneliness on his face.

"But the two don't conflict with each other." The king said, "I still don't give permission? The seventh prince Su Chen was allowed to be unbound by the palace rules after marriage, and the prince and concubine were no different. Chen'er, you can accompany her to Xizhou, and when you're done, you two will come back. ”

Su Chen looked at his father in a daze.

Father's words...... Really? ”

"Seriously." The king nodded, and then instructed, "However, you have to promise me that within a year, you must come back with her, and you will not stay for long." Chen'er, you are the prince of Liangyu, and the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, so you must not return for a long time......"

His last sentence was slow in tone, but it was meaningful, although Su Chen didn't know what his father was referring to, he also roughly understood what his father meant.

The two looked at each other, Su Chen nodded slowly, then suddenly shook his head, frowned, and said, "No, Erchen has to ask her...... Father, can you wait two days for your son to reply to you? ”

"Okay, good ......" the king closed his eyes and nodded, "I ...... Know what to expect. (To be continued.) )
