Chapter 40 Petition for Dissolution of Marriage
One morning, Lord Ruan refused to leave, and seeing that he was about to walk to the palace gate, he went back to the house to find Situ Shaoshao.
Situ Shaoshao, who had just finished the morning court, was sitting upright in the hall, with a pile of folds on the table and a few stacks of pastries on the side.
Lord Ruan stood in front of the palace and said very politely to the eunuch guarding the door: "Father-in-law, please report it, I have something to find the emperor." ”
The eunuch recognized him that this was the Ruan family who was married to Mu Chengchuan, and since he had a good attitude, the eunuch smiled at him and said, "You wait, I'll go in." ”
The "squeak" door was pushed open by the eunuch, and when he walked in, he saw Situ Shao carefully reviewing the folds.
The eunuch knelt on the ground and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Ruan asks to see you." ”
Hearing Lord Ruan's three words, Situ Shao couldn't help but raise his head and put down the fold in his hand, "Let him come in." ”
"Yes."
Lord Nguyen patted his sleeve and knelt in front of him. "Weichen see the emperor."
Situ Shao: "My lord, please get up, I don't know what the adults are looking for me?" ”
Lord Ruan hesitated for a moment, as if he had made a big decision.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something he wants to request, and I hope the emperor will agree."
Situ Shao raised his chin and looked at him condescendingly, and his tone was quite tactful: "What's the matter?" ”
That's it, this matter is related to Ruan Linlang's happy life. He, the father, is good for his daughter, anyway, he is old, and no one cares.
"Weichen feels that the marriage between the little girl and Mu Chengchuan is really not good, and the relationship between the two seems to be discordant, and they always stretch out a lot of things to disturb the emperor."
"It's these two young people who are strong-blooded and impatient, and they can't live a good life together." As she spoke, she sighed helplessly.
Situ Shao knows. Lord Nguyen is worried about his daughter. But this marriage was given by him. Now that they are married, if the decree is withdrawn again, where will her face be placed?
Not to mention the matter of the holy decree, if you really want to reconcile with Mu Chengchuan, the Mu family is not so easy to talk to, these days in the court to impeach the Mu family continuously, he can clearly feel that the Mu family has begun to be impatient.
In the matter of the Mu family, he has not yet been able to think of a complete countermeasure, so she naturally can't agree to Lord Ruan's request.
Seeing that Situ Shao didn't speak, Lord Ruan already had some answers in his heart, and he knew how this matter could be so simple, this was a holy decree.
"Lord Ruan. This is a marriage given by me personally, and if I personally let them reconcile and divorce, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the royal family? ”
"I know you love your daughter, but it's not so easy to say. Even if I agree, what if the Mu family doesn't agree? ”
Lord Ruan thought that the emperor had impeached the Mu family in the court in the past few days because he wanted to pull the Mu family into the water, but he just took this opportunity to say that the emperor would agree, but who knew that he was still rejected.
Lord Ruan's face was bitter, and his brows were furrowed, "The little girl and Mu Chengchuan are really at odds, they are not in harmony, I just want to ask the emperor to understand my feelings as a father." Weichen only has this one daughter. ”
When did Situ Shao not know what Lord Ruan was feeling, now is really not a good opportunity to do it.
"Lord Ruan, don't worry, if something happens to the Mu family, I will definitely let them reconcile."
This sentence can be regarded as waking up Lord Ruan, and he must mean that something will happen to the Mu family.
Situ Shao can treat him as his own person and speak his heart, which can be regarded as comfort in his heart, and Ruan Linlang's happiness afterwards depends on the emperor.
In the hall, Ruan Linlang and Chen Qingwu waited for a long time and didn't see Lord Ruan, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could something have happened again? Or was he arrested by the Mu family?
Ruan Linlang couldn't feel at ease, and stood up from time to time to look out, "Why hasn't Dad come back yet?" ”
Chen Qingwu patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the palace is blessed by the emperor, nothing will happen to Lord Ruan, it may be that the emperor has something to do to keep Lord Ruan." ”
Oh, the emperor's blessing? Situ Shao has made the power of the Mu family so big, who dares to say a few more words? Sometimes even Situ Shao himself is afraid of the Mu family.
"No, I can't rest assured, you go and take a look." Ruan Linlang said to Chen Qingwu with her head held high.
In order to reassure her, Chen Qingwu had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll go and see if you're waiting for me at home." ”
As soon as Chen Qingwu wanted to go out, he met Lord Ruan, who had just returned, and saw him with a sad face, not knowing what had happened.
"Lord Ruan?"
He, who is a daughter, was naturally worried, so he hurriedly ran over and grabbed Lord Ruan's arm.
"Dad, why did you come back so late? What happened to make your face so ugly, is the emperor bullying you! ”
When she thought of Situ Shao, she was angry and hateful.
Although the other person quickly shut him up and patted her hand: "What nonsense? How could the emperor bully me? ”
"Who bullied you, your face is so ugly, are you stepping on?"
Ruan Linlang said seriously, and the little maid standing on the side couldn't help but smile.
Lord Ruan slapped him on the head again, "Still talking nonsense, do you think we don't lose enough face?" ”
"Lord Ruan, tell me what happened, otherwise Ruan Linlang will die in a hurry." Chen Qingwu immediately asked.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just told the emperor about the marriage of Linlang and Mu Chengchuan, and I want him to withdraw the holy decree."
Ruan Linlang looked at him incredulously, Lord Ruan really loves his daughter, since he dares to ask the emperor to withdraw the holy decree, isn't this a slap in the face?
He grinned, still happy in his heart, after all, his father loved her the most.
There is no need to wait for Lord Ruan to say the next sentence, they all know that the emperor will definitely not agree.
"The emperor didn't agree, it's normal, it's a matter of the emperor's face." Although Chen Qingwu also wanted the emperor to agree, how could it be?
"In the past few days, there have been things about the impeachment of the Mu family, and I think the emperor is really tired of them."
Ruan Linlang clapped his hands and explained: "Sometimes, the emperor still has to establish his own prestige, of course, he has to give these courtiers with heads and faces a dismount. ”
Lord Ruan paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Otherwise, the emperor later promised me that if something happened to the Mu family, he would definitely let Linlang leave." ”
She nodded with satisfaction, our emperor is really promising, listening to what he means, the Mu family will definitely be finished.
Chen Qingwu couldn't help but smile, don't worry, anyway, Ruan Linlang will be his sooner or later. Just wait.
Judging from the current situation, it is not far from the time when the Mu family disappears, but Situ Shao has exploited several titles of the Mu family.
"Don't think about it, I haven't thought about it so much Life is not going by day by day, is it possible, really let the emperor slap himself in the face?"
Having said that, of course, she will definitely not let Mu Chengchuan touch herself! It's disgusting to think about.
