Although in the eyes of everyone, Rong Che was just a prince and could not be a threat to the throne, but for the suspicious emperor, nothing was impossible.

Therefore, Rong Che will restrain a lot when he acts and speaks in front of the emperor.

It seems that the emperor prefers his peaceful appearance.

"Last time, you went to the north, repelled the Yan soldiers, and sent an envoy to the Yan country, and this time you cracked the case of the theft of official silver in Qianzhou, and you have a lot of credit. The emperor stared at Rong Che and asked, "Originally, I wanted to give you some reward, but I thought it would be unsatisfactory to you. Therefore, I promised the civil and military officials, if you come back, I will promise you a condition, no matter what it is, I will agree. ”

Rong Che raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, in fact, he knew about this when Rong Qi sent him a letter.

He stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Chen does have something to ask for!"

Seeing that he had responded unceremoniously, the emperor could not help but raise his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Oh? ”

Rong Che bowed his head to the arch and said seriously: "The younger brother asks the imperial brother to be the master and give the younger brother a marriage." ”

Unexpectedly, the condition proposed by Rong Che was actually to give marriage, the emperor was stunned at first, and then smiled: "It was my negligence, Ah Che has already reached the age of marriage, before the queen planned to choose a concubine for you, let you postpone it, and now you want to give marriage, don't you fancy which lady?"

Rong Che nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"You are my royal brother, and you are a prince with outstanding merits, and I will make the decision for you which girl you want to marry. ”

Although he didn't expect Rong Che to mention the matter of marriage, the emperor's eyes still had a look of concern, and he didn't know which minister's concubine Rong Che was going to marry, so he was so interested.

Rong Che said: "It's the niece of Liu Mu, the squire of the military department, Jiangzhou Ji Yanning." ”

When the emperor heard Rong Che's words, he was really a little surprised: "Liu Shilang's niece, who are her parents?"

Rong Che reported truthfully: "Miss Ji's parents are merchants, and she was killed by a bandit two years ago, and now she lives in Lord Liu's mansion with a younger brother. ”

Hearing that Rong Che was going to marry a woman from a merchant background, the emperor couldn't help frowning.

He was silent for a while, and said: "Ah Che, your case is good, if you want to give you a marriage, I will satisfy you, the daughter of a civil and military official of the Manchu Dynasty, although you choose at will, why do you have to be a woman from a merchant? In the eyes of others, I am not a reward, but I am ashamed of you." Otherwise, I heard that the daughter of Chen Ge's hometown is good and has a good temperament, and I will give you a marriage. ”

Rong Che's face was expressionless, but he still insisted: "Brother Huang, if you marry a woman you don't love, how can it be considered a reward?

Seeing that he was so insistent, the emperor said: "That Ji family is from a merchant, and both parents are dead, even if it has a little relationship with the Liu family, how can it match you?"

Rong Che lowered his eyes and said: "So the younger brother begs the emperor to give her an identity that allows her to match the younger brother, this is the request made by the younger brother." ”

The emperor looked at Rong Che, and when he saw that he really insisted on this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "That's it, since I said that I would agree to your request, naturally I will not regret it, and let Zhongshu Ling choose a title for her in the next two days, and make her the county lord, and then give you a marriage at the same time." ”

Rong Che saluted with his crossed hands: "Thank you Brother Huang for your success!"

"You. The Emperor said, "It's rare for you to be so persistent, and I don't know how good this girl is, and how much you love it." ”

Rong Che lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"It's not early, you just went back to Chang'an and entered the palace, go back and rest first, and then go to your imperial sister-in-law tomorrow to say goodbye." The Emperor said.

Rong Che bowed his head, and then saluted and was about to withdraw.

The emperor suddenly thought of something, and shouted to Rong Che again: "Wait. ”

Rong Che raised his eyes and looked at the emperor in confusion and asked, "Does the imperial brother have any other orders?"

"I heard that you were also involved in the affairs of Liangzhou City, and when you return to Chang'an from Qianzhou, you shouldn't go through Liangzhou, why did you go there?" the emperor asked.

Rong Che fell silent, wanting to speak again.

"What, can't even tell me?" the emperor looked at Rong Che's reluctant to speak, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Rong Che said: "Naturally not. The younger brother went to Liangzhou because he heard that there was a doctor with excellent medical skills in Liangzhou, and the younger brother thought that if Rong Qi's dumb disease could be treated by this person, maybe he could still speak, so he changed his route to Liangzhou and wanted to invite the doctor to come to Chang'an to see Rong Qi. ”

The emperor listened to his words and asked: "This is not something unsightly, you and Rong Qi grew up together since childhood, and they have a strong relationship, why can't you tell others in order to seek medical treatment?"

Rong Che said: "The doctor heard the description of his brother...... said that Rong Qi was poisoned so that he couldn't speak, and the younger brother thought that before the poisoned person was found out, if they knew that the younger brother was looking for an antidote for Rong Qi, he was afraid that he would do something in it. ”

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy.

In fact, he didn't know that Rong Qi was poisoned so he couldn't speak, but he couldn't find out who did it.

But those who can attack the prince, take inventory, it's nothing more than those few people.

Rong Qi is the eldest son, if he can't speak, there will be many people who will benefit.

"Then you will bring the doctor back to Chang'an?" the Emperor asked.

Rong Che arched his hand and said: "That doctor is indeed excellent in medicine, but his temperament is also very strange, most of the people who have the ability have a lot of temper, and the younger brother failed to invite him to Chang'an." However, he gave his younger brother a prescription, saying that it could cure Rong Qi's dumb disease. ”

The emperor was a little unconvinced: "It's just a traveling doctor in the rivers and lakes, could it be that his medical skills are better than the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital?"

Rong Che said: "When the courtier gets the prescription, he will let the imperial doctor see it first, if it won't hurt Rong Qi, let him try, there is no harm, if it can really be cured, it can be regarded as helping him." ”

The emperor looked at Rong Che's determined appearance, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, I have to try it after all." ”

Rong Che said: "If something goes wrong with Rong Qi, the younger brother is willing to bear any responsibility." ”

The emperor said: "I know that you are for the good of Rong Qi, but you must also pay attention to proportion. ”

"Brother Chen, I know. Rong Che said respectfully.

The emperor looked at him and said, "Go back." ”

Rong Che saluted, and then withdrew.

Looking at the back of Rong Che leaving, the emperor always felt that this younger brother, whom he had grown up watching, seemed to be a little different.

But what exactly is different, he can't say.

I have to say that Rong Che's request, he was still a little happy in his heart, he originally thought that Rong Che would make some unreasonable demands without interest, or refuse, but he didn't expect that what Rong Che wanted was just to marry a woman with a low status.

Ji Yanning didn't know that Rong Che had returned to Chang'an, her body still needed to rest, so she went to bed early.

The second day happened to be the day of rest, Liu Yuan and Liu Mu did not go to the office, Rong Che came to Liu Mansion early in the morning.

Hearing that King Xuan was coming, Liu Yuan and Liu Mu were a little surprised, and hurriedly welcomed Rong Che to the main hall.

"King Xuan is coming, and the officials have missed the distance, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive his sins. Liu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Liu Mu also stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Liu Mu has seen His Highness. ”

Rong Che was sitting next to the main hall, looking at them and chuckling: "The two adults don't need to be polite, it was this king who came here rashly and abruptly surprised the two adults." ”

Liu Yuan said: "Your Highness is polite, where is this, Your Highness coming to the mansion will only make the humble house shine." ”

Rong Che listened to Liu Yuan's words, his eyes were calm, and he said, "Two adults, sit down, in front of this king, there is no need to be polite." ”

Liu Yuan and Liu Mu bowed slightly, and then sat down on the side.

"I wonder why His Highness is here?" asked Liuyuan.

He didn't even know that King Xuan had returned to Chang'an, only that King Xuan had cracked the case of theft of official silver in Qianzhou, and His Majesty greatly appreciated it.

Rong Che said: "I went back to Chang'an last night, entered the palace to report to the emperor, the emperor saw that the king's case was handled well, so he agreed to any request of the king, Lord Liu guess what the king wanted?"

Listening to Rong Che's question, Liu Yuan was slightly stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "How can the lower officials know about the prince's request? But come to think of it, what can make the prince ask the emperor is definitely not a mundane thing." ”

"Lord Liu's words are reasonable, and what this king asks for is naturally not a mundane thing. Rong Che glanced at Liu Yuan deeply and said, "This king asked the emperor to marry this king and Miss Ji in Lord Liu's mansion." ”

"Ahem—"

Liu Mu, who had just picked up the tea and was taking a sip, was suddenly choked when he heard Rong Che's words.

Did King Xuan say that he asked the emperor to marry Yan Ning?

"Is Liu Shilang okay?" Rong Che's gaze looked at Liu Mu.

Liu Mu slowed down, put the teacup in his hand back on the table, tidied up his appearance a little, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry, let His Highness see and smile, it's just that Xiaguan was a little surprised, what the prince said, but Ji Yanning, Xiaguan's niece?"

Rong Che's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded slightly: "Exactly." ”

The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Rong Che continued: "Last night, the emperor had already agreed to the marriage of this king, but this king heard that Miss Ji had already made a marriage with the Shen family, so I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"This ......" Liu Yuan was speechless for a while, and wanted to say yes, but when he saw Rong Che's sharp eyes, he swallowed the words that he was about to say.

Rong Che continued: "The emperor has promised this king, he can't let this king go to the emperor again, is it possible to let this king go to the emperor and take back what he said?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Liu Yuan, and his tone was not slow, as if he was waiting for Liu Yuan's explanation.

Liu Yuan secretly complained in his heart, he really didn't expect that Yan Ning's girl still had such a blessing that she could be favored by King Xuan!
