Chapter 236: Equals

The old emperor was tired after personally accompanying him all afternoon, and because Jin Yuan was unhappy with his previous words, he summoned a eunuch who was waiting for him and helped the old emperor to go back to rest.

As soon as the old emperor left, the atmosphere at the scene warmed up, and Murong Ji couldn't hold back at first, walked to Jin Yuan's side and sat down, and said:

"I know the fourth princess, as long as she wants it, she will definitely try her best to get it, and now my father has promised to give you a marriage, what are you going to do?"

Jin Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, and immediately smiled at Shang Murong's extremely worried gaze, "Is His Royal Highness the King of Chu worried about the lower official, or is he worried about the lower official's wife?" ”

What Murong Ji thinks about Ning Zhao, Jin Yuan knows very well, Murong Ji is generous on weekdays, Jin Yuan has a good impression of him, but no matter how good his impression is, Jin Yuan can't bear it.

This was too direct, Murong Ji's face turned red instantly, he pointed at Jin Yuan, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence, "You don't know what to do!" ”

"If it weren't for Miss Ning's face, what would it matter what you do?" Murong Ji broke the jar and said simply: "If this matter is not solved well, in the future, when the fourth princess enters the Shangshu Mansion, I can't care about your previous feelings, but if the second girl Ning is sad, I won't sit idly by." ”

Jin Yuan's eyes also turned cold, and he said coldly: "Don't worry about His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this is a private matter of the lower officials, and the lower officials' wives will take care of it, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

During the banquet, everyone was talking, no one noticed Jin Yuan's side, Murong Ji's face was cold, and his gaze at Jin Yuan was filled with anger that was rarely seen on weekdays.

"That's what you said, if that day happens, I don't know whose lady she is!" Murong Ji put aside these words, got up and left directly.

Jin Yuan sat in his position and did not speak for a long time.

Half an hour later, he filled himself with a glass of wine, and was about to drink it, when a bony hand reached over and touched him with the glass.

Jin Yuan looked at it, and then met Murong Cheng's smiling eyes, Jin Yuan didn't move with the wine glass, he didn't have the heart to entangle with Murong Cheng at this moment.

But Murong Cheng came to see the show.

As long as Jin Yuan is not happy, he Murong Cheng is happy. Seeing that Jin Yuan's face was not good at this moment, Murong Cheng was in a good mood, and immediately smiled and toasted the glass of wine, then nodded the cup in Jin Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "This palace specially came to congratulate Lord Jin, how about it?" Isn't that a surprise? ”

Hearing this, if Jin Yuan couldn't figure out who was behind this, then he wouldn't be Jin Yuan.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" Jin Yuan also drank the wine in his glass, casually left the wine glass on the table, asked Murong Cheng, snorted, and asked, "Weichen is indeed quite surprised, but looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even happier than Weichen." ”

"That's nature!" Murong Cheng said as a matter of course: "My sister can have a good home, and I, the emperor, am naturally happy, what?" ”

Murong Cheng looked at Jin Yuan closer, and said, "Isn't it fun to see Lord Jin think about it?" Could it be that he was dissatisfied with his father's marriage? ”

Jin Yuan didn't prove Huida's question, but smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a good brother, how many young talents are there in Yan Kingdom, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given his sister a married man, tsk......t"

Jin Yuan shook his head as he spoke, and said very embarrassed: "But Weichen is not like His Royal Highness the Prince, he is destined to have countless harems, and he can't enjoy the blessings of this Qi people." ”

Murong Cheng's face paused slightly, then he smiled indifferently, raised his hand and patted Jin Yuan's shoulder, and said, "Lord Jin has time to sigh about these things, so it is better to think more about how to explain to Madame after going back." ”

"As far as I know, Madame is a strong woman, not as weak as her sister, and this palace is really worried about Lord Jin."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for worrying." Jin Yuan quietly dodged Murong Cheng's hand, and said lightly: "The emperor said that this matter will be discussed later, it is not necessary to marry the fourth princess to me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too early to worry now." ”

Murong Cheng saw that his mouth was stiff, he chuckled lightly, nodded, gave Jin Yuan a self-satisfied look, and then turned back to his place.

In the next time, Jin Yuan didn't have time to think of countermeasures, and various ministers came to congratulate him, Jin Yuan didn't feel any joy at all, but the worry in his heart became bigger and bigger.

It is absolutely impossible for Ning Zhao to serve a husband with others, and it is absolutely impossible for him to marry the fourth princess, but if the old emperor insists on giving marriage, he should not resist the decree, if this matter wants to pass smoothly, he must think about countermeasures.

Jin Yuan could only be glad that Ning Zhao didn't know about it, if she knew, Jin Yuan didn't know what Ning Zhao would do.

Thinking of Murong Ji's previous words again, would Ning Zhao be sad? It will definitely be, but what Jin Yuan doesn't want to see the last thing is that Ning Zhao is sad, so he must not let Ning Zhao know about this matter until he solves it himself!

However, what Jin Yuan didn't expect was that he originally planned to hide it from Ning Zhao, but he never thought that it would only take a few hours of hard work, and at the dinner party, the matter of giving marriage would be known.

Others don't know that he can't care about it, but Ning Zhao is by his side, and he heard the old emperor mention the old matter again, but fortunately, he asked Ning Zhao's opinion!

"How is Ah Zhaoyi?" Ever since Ning Zhao saw the old emperor, the old emperor has always called Ning Zhao like this.

At this moment, at the dinner party, everyone was there, the fourth princess sat under the prince, and when she heard the words, she also looked at Jin Yuan with burning eyes, and when she swept over Ning Zhao, she also showed a smile of recklessness.

Before, the four princesses vaguely revealed what the county lord told Ning Zhao not to think about it, and Ning Zhao himself comforted himself like this, but now that the old emperor wants to give marriage in person, and asks for his opinion, Ning Zhao's heart is suddenly confused.

Ning Zhao didn't speak for a long time, the old emperor's brows gradually frowned, and he looked at Jin Yuan and then at Ning Zhao in displeasure.

In his opinion, a man's three wives and four concubines are nothing at all, not to mention that Jin Yuan is still a member of the court, and it should be taken care of by a few women in the family, I don't understand what Jin Yuan and Ning Zhao are hesitating about.

"Zhao?" The old emperor urged.

Ning Zhao came back to his senses suddenly, first glanced at Jin Yuan beside him, and then got up and blessed the old emperor, and said: "Your Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, it is not for others to have any objections, but since Your Majesty asked the opinion of the courtiers, the courtiers have to reply." ”

The old emperor nodded, put on a smile again, and asked, "What about Ah Zhaojue?" ”

"The four princesses are willing to lower their status and sit on an equal footing with the courtiers, which is a lift, but if the courtiers receive this promotion, they will disrespect the royal family regardless of dignity or inferiority."

These words were a little heavy, and the old emperor's smile disappeared in an instant, and his brows furrowed unhappily.

Ning Zhao admired him, and he had the idea of making her a concubine before, but this thing didn't work out after all, the old emperor had nothing to regret, so he quickly put it down, and now he looks at Ning Zhao as his junior.
