Chapter 17: The Prince's Storm
"It's very comforting to see your Li family reunited." The emperor walked in with a loud smile, took a big step, and stepped forward to help the three members of the Li family who were kneeling down one by one.
Li Siyu didn't feel much, but the smile on Zhao Budao's face had disappeared, and he was replaced by a dull face.
Li Taiyuan said to the emperor with tears in his eyes: "This qiē is the emperor's favor from all over the world, so Siyu has won again and again." ”
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I don't have that much ability. But what I want to say is that Siyu has repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and now that she has returned triumphantly, I want to reward her well. ”
As soon as they heard the word "reward", Zhao Budao and Big Brother couldn't stand still, the two glanced at each other, and then they couldn't help clenching their fists.
"What do you get?" The emperor stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, not knowing what to say, thinking for a while, but he still didn't come up with it, and said to himself: "Reward you with a title?" That's a man's official position. You are a girl, and when you marry in the future, you will stay in your husband's house. It's useless to give you a knighthood. ”
Li Siyu secretly said in her heart: "What is this? Is it good that men and women are equal? There are so many capable girls like me. We deserve the benefits we deserve. ”
But on second thought, after all, this place is different from modern society, and the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Women pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, and I'm afraid there aren't many capable girls like themselves, right?
The emperor thought about it ********, but after all, he still didn't come up with any ideas, and whispered to himself: "Reward you with money and money?" Your family is also a family of big officials, and there is no shortage of money to spend. Well...... Well, how about I write you into the history books? ”
Li Siyu wrinkled her head, history books? This thing, which I don't even want to listen to and feels very far away from me, is now having to face.
"What? Don't you want to? The emperor asked.
Li Siyu walked away for a while, and at this time he hurriedly came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Famous in history, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, Siyu thanks the emperor." ”
The emperor laughed when he heard this, but he frowned, thought about it for a while, and then said: "No, I'm afraid it's not enough to give you the honor of your name." ”
Li Taiyuan hurriedly stepped forward at this time and said: "Enough is enough, the emperor's grace is mighty, our Li family is grateful to the emperor for his great kindness." ”
"No......" The emperor shook his head, and then continued: "Siyu serves the country, if I don't have her in the Houtang, I must have to watch the Xiongnu go south." Well...... What woman is the most honorable? Empress. How about I make you the prince's concubine? ”
Prince?
Li Siyu was stunned for a moment, it seems that the emperor's decision is to make her marriage?
But who is the crown prince?
Li Siyu's eyes couldn't help but look behind the emperor, and saw the eldest brother and the second elder brother.
"After a hundred years, the crown prince will succeed to the throne and become the emperor, so let him crown you queen again. Siyu, the queen is the mother of the country, and the mother discusses the world. The emperor stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and then smiled and said, "Siyu, are you willing?" ”
Li Siyu was stunned for a moment, and her brother Li Hajin gently pushed her beside her, signaling her to answer quickly.
Li Siyu let out an "oh" and nodded in thanks.
There's no freedom to marry here, and it's a bit depressing.
Li Siyu has no bottom in her heart, what if she is forced to marry someone she doesn't like?
This big brother is very annoying himself.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction.
Zhao Budao was a little unhappy, he had been taking care of Siyu by himself for so many days, listening to the meaning of his father's words, did he want to marry Siyu to the eldest brother?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Budao couldn't help but be angry, a few days ago, the eldest brother pretended to be in front of his father and deceived his father. Besides, he is the boss, and this throne seems to give him the highest chance.
The boss smiled secretly in his heart: "Look at it like this, Siyu is going to marry me." Once Siyu married me. Li Taiyuan and Li Hajin all stood on my side. When I become the crown prince and become the emperor in the future, no brother will have the strength to fight with me. ”
Li Taiyuan and Li Hajin both thanked him, and Li Siyu stood in place a little stunned.
When the emperor looked at her like this, he was a little surprised and asked, "What?" Siyu, what else do you have on your mind? ”
Li Siyu casually agreed: "Oh, no, it's nothing." It's just that Siyu heard that she was going to marry the prince as his wife, and her heart was a little sudden, the emperor's grace was vast, I don't know which brother Siyu has the honor to serve? ”
In fact, Li Siyu's implication was to knock on the side and ask who is the prince.
The emperor stroked his beard again and said, "Well, I haven't thought about this yet." According to the rules of the ancestors, this will not be decided until I return to the west. ”
"What?" Li Siyu smiled bitterly in her heart, doesn't that mean that if the emperor doesn't die for a day, he won't be able to ascend the throne for a day?
"But...... Generally speaking, it should be the big brother. The eldest brother is the eldest son, and it is reasonable to inherit the throne. Besides, the eldest brother loves the people like a son, and I am very comforted. The emperor said with satisfaction.
And sure enough, it was!
Zhao Budao secretly shouted "hateful" in his heart, this boss knows how to pretend to be a good person, what loves the people like a son? When he usually looted the people's fat and people's ointment, he had to block the news. It's just that this brother of mine worked hard to send someone to investigate, and he found out.
Zhao Budao was secretly unconvinced in his heart, but there was no way, at this time it was the time for his father to rise, what his father wanted to say, the people below had to compliment. If you make a small report at this time, wouldn't that refute your father's interest?
Li Siyu looked at the boss and felt that he was a big boss, and he would not like such a person.
So Li Siyu's face immediately became gloomy, although he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't hide his reluctance.
"Father Emperor Shengming......"
At this time, the eldest interjected, smiled proudly, and said: "But the child doesn't ask for the position of the prince, the child begs his father to live forever." As long as I can get Silk Rain, even if I don't make me the prince, what does it matter? ”
As soon as the eldest brother said this, he saw the second brother next to him cast a disdainful glance at him.
The boss was hoping for this, and he was so happy to see the second child sulking there.
When the emperor heard the words of the eldest brother, he was even more happy, and pointed to the eldest brother and said, "Okay, good, I hope to see such a son succeed to the throne." Siyu serves the country, and she can be by the prince's side and be blessed by the prince, and she can live a happy life at night. ”
The eldest brother's face was even more full of smug smiles, and he looked at the second elder brother from time to time. cast a provocative gaze to show that he was very powerful.
Zhao Budao tried to calm his feelings, and thought to himself: "I'm just too honest, that's why I let the eldest brother press like this." No, the person I like is Siyu, and I can't let others snatch Siyu away. ”
Secretly competing in his heart, Zhao Budao thought: "No, I want to be this prince." ”
Li Siyu is also unwilling, she will fight on the battlefield by herself, and when she comes back, she will marry a rough person like a big brother, she is unwilling to think about it.
