Chapter 42: The Marriage Gift

Chu Qingli held his cheeks and shook his head, looking very unenergetic.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?" What kind of answer did she have, Yang Qingning didn't understand what Chu Qingli meant.

Chu Qingli took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience in his heart, "It means that I don't know either." ”

"Haven't you been, how could you not know?" Yang Qingning didn't believe Chu Qingli's words, thinking that she was deliberately hiding from her.

Chu Qingli stood up, and Yang Qingning took a step back timidly. "I said I don't know, I don't know, if you have the ability, you can go over and see for yourself." Chu Qingli pushed Yang Qingning out of the door and closed the door tightly, her heart was in a mess, let her be quiet and quiet. Chu Qingli leaned back to the door, staring ahead in a daze.

Xiao Pan's leg is crippled, and now he is abandoning himself and is not motivated at all, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to hand over this military power to him. The emperor pretended to let Xiao Pan recuperate, so he took the opportunity to take back the military power, and falsely said that Xiao Pan was injured in suppressing bandits, so although he could not fight, he still maintained the title of King Mu.

Chu Qingli didn't know the scene of that day, and he didn't know how Xiao Pan felt after being deprived of military power, but he heard that Xiao Pan not only did not resist that day, but his face was expressionless, as if he was dead.

Chu Qingli asked Chu Qinghan to inquire about Xiao Pan's news, he was in the palace, and he had the opportunity to meet the second prince to see if he could learn about Xiao Pan's recent situation from him. But there is always too little news, and I only know that Xiao Pan doesn't want to see people all day long, and borrows wine to drown his sorrows.

Chu Qingli also heard that Shen Qiuyu had to go to King Mu's mansion once a day, and although he knew that he couldn't see Xiao Pan, he still waited at the door rain or shine.

It didn't take long for the emperor to decree that Xiao Pan would be married, saying that Xiao Pan was not young, he was busy with state affairs before, and now that he has time, he still has to pay attention to lifelong events.

Xiao Pan was a heartthrob before, but now that he heard that his leg is useless, there are very few people who are willing to marry him, and among these few people, there is Shen Qiuyu.

I have to say that Chu Qingli admires Shen Qiuyu a little, with the power in her family, even if the person she marries is a prince, there is no surprise, but now Xiao Pan is just in vain, and she has no real power in her hands, she is still willing to marry him, it seems that she is really moved by Xiao Pan.

But as long as you think about it, the emperor will not agree to Shen Qiuyu marrying Xiao Pan, the emperor was afraid of Xiao Pan, if he joins forces with Xuanguo Gong again, won't he become a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in the flesh? The emperor will never let this kind of thing happen, what he wants is for Xiao Pan to be an idle prince.

In fact, in Chu Qingli's opinion, there is nothing wrong with being an idle prince, he has great military achievements, and the emperor will naturally not treat him badly, regardless of state affairs, he travels in the mountains and rivers, and is more leisurely. But Xiao Pan is an ambitious person, and he will never be willing to be an incapable waster.

In the past few days, there has been speculation in the capital, which lady the emperor wants to marry to Xiao Pan, some people guess that it is the daughter of Li Shangshu's family, I heard that the queen also summoned her to the palace a few days ago, it should be looked for in advance, and some people say that it is the granddaughter of the king of the Ministry of Rites, naturally some people speculate Shen Qiuyu, after all, she makes a fuss in front of King Mu's mansion every day, it is difficult for others to think about it, Shen Qiuyu should not quarrel with his family, Xuanguo Gong can sit in the current position, which shows that he is not a simple person, Xiao Pan is now a fire pit, How could he let Shen Qiuyu jump inside?

But what everyone didn't expect was that this hot potato actually fell into Chu Qingli's hands. Chu Qingli was also surprised, An Pingbo's official position was very low, how could the emperor think of their family?

Chu Qingli couldn't figure it out, and when she investigated, she found out that it was Aunt Hua who was making trouble. Aunt Hua couldn't get used to Chu Qingli, but Chu Qingli's personality has changed a lot recently, and it is not easy to control, so it is better to marry her out quickly, so that she can control Chu Qinghan, and then this family will be her Aunt Hua's.

Aunt Hua naturally didn't want Chu Qing to divorce, and she was afraid that Chu Qingli would retaliate in the future, but although Xiao Pan was King Mu, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor would not reactivate him.

Aunt Hua seems to have a lot of ability, and she can also bribe the court officials to let him recommend Chu Qingli in front of the emperor, and Xuan Guogong is unwilling to marry Shen Qiuyu to Xiao Pan, a disabled person, so she pushes the boat down the river and strongly recommends Chu Qingli.

Although the emperor didn't know who this Chu Qingli was, An Pingbo had no power or power, and marrying his daughter to Xiao Pan would not increase Xiao Pan's strength, so he readily agreed.

When Chu Qinghan learned of this, he hurried home to ask his father to make a comeback and let the emperor retract his will. But is An Pingbo a man of guts? He only thinks about safety and self-preservation, how can he disobey the emperor's will for Chu Qing to leave?

"You rebel, this is what the emperor meant, do you want me to resist the decree?" An Pingbo looked at Chu Qinghan, blowing his beard angrily and glaring, this sister and brother were one and didn't let him worry.

"But if my sister marries, this life will be ruined." Chu Qinghan is on duty in the palace, and naturally knows more than them, everyone in this palace says that the emperor can keep Xiao Pan's life, it is already merciful, Chu Qing is married in the past, let alone enjoying happiness, and the possibility of life cannot be saved.

An Pingbo picked up the holy decree on the table and stuffed it into Chu Qinghan's hand, "Then you say, this holy decree has been issued, what do you want to do for your father?" He was also at a loss, and he didn't know if the emperor's sudden marriage had a deep meaning.

"Qinghan, don't say it, I'm willing to marry." Chu Qingli didn't know when she appeared at the door of the room, and she had already listened to Fang Cai's conversation.

"Sister!" Chu Qinghan's face was full of anxiety, he was already an ant on a hot pot, and he was in a hurry, how could he look at Chu Qingli and still look like nothing had happened.

"You come out with me." Chu Qingli said to Chu Qinghan.

Chu Qinghan was helpless, glanced at An Pingbo, put down the holy decree, and followed Chu Qing out of the door. "Sister, do you really want to marry King Mu?" Chu Qingli was the closest person to Chu Qinghan, and he naturally hoped that Chu Qingli could live a happy life.

Chu Qingli stared at Chu Qinghan's eyes and looked at him calmly, "Listen to me, we can't disobey this holy decree, and we can't afford to disobey it, I have to get married in this marriage, but you remember it, in this family, you are the eldest son, you must look like the eldest son, think more about things, don't be impulsive and reckless, be careful Aunt Hua knows?" "If Chu Qingli marries, Chu Qinghan will be alone in this mansion, Aunt Hua is so vicious, I don't know if Chu Qinghan can handle it.

"Sister, what do you want to do at this time? Think about it, is there any other way? ”
