Late at night, in the palace, the emperor was closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Your Majesty, there was also a message from the prime minister's side, saying that this evening, the four princes went to intercede with a lot of dowry gifts, and now the prime minister's side has agreed."

Yuan Gonggong's voice was very soft, and he said while helping with the massage.

After hearing these words, the emperor's expression instantly became serious, and his brows furrowed.

"Your Majesty, it's not a slave's mouth. You said that although the parents are in charge of the marriage event, if both parties do not agree, I am afraid that there will be countless troubles in the future. This poor couple, just because of the incompatible temperament between husband and wife, I don't know how much trouble will be caused every day, let alone the prince and the princess. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, if you accidentally make a little mistake, it will be infinitely magnified. By that time, the emperor ......."

The words that Gonggong Yuan was about to say stopped like this, and his gaze swept to the face of the emperor who had opened his eyes at some point. At this time, the eyes as sharp as a falcon were staring at him like this, making him feel a pang of fear in his heart.

Even the strength of the hand seems to be a little stiff.

"Say, didn't you just say it quite well? Why don't you talk about it now? The emperor was still half-lying there like that, but a gloomy aura emanated from his body, which frightened Gonggong Yuan's legs and couldn't help trembling.

"I've been with me for so long, and I still haven't made any progress. Forget it, don't press it, your claws are so soft now. The emperor said with great disgust, and then changed from a half-lying position to a sitting position, but his eyes still did not take his eyes off his body.

"Tell me, who told you to say that? Is it the crown prince? Or is it the prime minister? The emperor looked like he had seen everything, and saw that Gonggong Yuan immediately knelt on the ground, and he couldn't help kowtowing in fright.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It was a slave who forgot his identity for a while, and he dared to talk about the emperor's family affairs, it was a slave who was guilty! The sharp voice came into the emperor's ears, and it only made people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing him kowtow violently, the emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"You've been serving me for almost thirty years, and you won't say a word about anything on weekdays. But today, you keep talking about it, it seems that someone is putting pressure on you? ”

Cold sweat had already flowed down Yuan's father-in-law's head.

The emperor's guess was not wrong, it was indeed someone who put pressure on him. But this person is neither the prime minister nor the prince, but the emperor's pillow person.

If he confessed to Queen Lin today, although the emperor would not do anything to him, it would not be easy for Queen Lin's power to overthrow himself in minutes?

"Your Majesty, don't force your minions. If the emperor is really for the sake of the slaves, it is better to send someone to beat the slaves. Yuan Gonggong kowtowed desperately, constantly begging for the blessing of the gods in his heart.

He and the emperor are indeed lifelong friends, and they have been staying together for the past 30 years. But a companion is like a tiger, even if you have been together for so many years, you must not get along in the name of friends.

seemed to be extremely disgusted with his behavior at this time, and the emperor simply turned his face away and stopped looking at him.

"Okay, it's not annoying for you to kowtow, I'm annoyed to look at it. You go and bring the queen, the crown prince, and the fifth princess here now, I have something important to discuss with them." ”

As if he had been pardoned, Gonggong Yuan's heart that had been tense finally relaxed, and he immediately got up from the ground, and left in a hurry before he even had time to wipe the blood on his head.

Half an hour later, the three of them came to the emperor's bedroom one after another.

The three of them sat in a row, facing the emperor.

"I have asked you to come today to consult with you. I'm so old, and you're at the age when it's time to get married, do you have a favorite person in your heart who needs me to help you marry? ”

The emperor's fierce gaze swept over Xiao Liyue and Xiao Chufang in turn, as if he wanted to cut open each other's hearts and take a serious look at what was in there.

As early as the evening, the news that the prime minister and the four princes had become in-laws had already been flying all over the palace.

This also means that the so-called marriage contract between Xiao Chufang and Mo Wanyin will never exist again.

Xiao Chufang was about to go to Xiao Liyue to celebrate, but suddenly learned the news that he was called to the dormitory. Both of them were confused at this time, so they naturally didn't dare to say more.

"If you have someone you like, tell me, and I will naturally help you get married. Don't be like the fourth child, you obviously have someone else in your heart, but you don't say anything. If what I say in the court today is not a consultation, but an edict, and this order is given, I am afraid that your brothers will turn against you, and our father and son will be ruthless. ”

The emperor said every word with sincerity, and today he really wants to be good for the two of them.

It's just that the two love each other, and this kind of thing can never be known by the emperor.

asked several times in a row, and the two of them always said everything, which made the emperor dissatisfied: "Prince, tell me, when do you plan to marry a wife?" ”

Xiao Chufang couldn't help but glance to the side, his eyes were firm: "The eldest husband has never had a career, how can he marry a wife?" ”

"Fart!" The emperor couldn't help but scold angrily, threw the book in his hand directly to the ground, and stood up from the chair in a moment, "Career? You're already a prince, what else do you want? Could it be that you won't be able to marry a wife until I'm old and dead? ”

Queen Lin, who had been silent and silent, found that the situation was not right and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince didn't mean that. Think about you, at the age of the prince, didn't you have a wife yet? As for the crown prince, you don't need to worry, after all, there are many people in the world who want to become the crown princess, and you need to choose slowly. ”

Empress Lin gently coaxed the emperor, and her soft and boneless hand gently patted the emperor's back like this, which made his mood relax a lot.

"Okay, let's not talk about the prince's marriage today, let's talk about Yue'er. You're so old, it's time to find a good family. Do you think there is someone you like in this court? If not, the Father will choose it for you! ”

The speed of this topic was too fast, and Xiao Chufang was still holding his breath before he didn't release it, so the emperor shifted the target, so he really couldn't sit, and he didn't sit.

"Father, I ......" Xiao Liyue moved her mouth slightly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"Looking at your embarrassment, you probably don't like the people in the court. It's okay for the Father to save you from being used by them and stepping on you as a ladder to climb up. I think the proton from Dongyang is good, I heard that it's okay for you, so it's better for the two of you to be together. ”

Xiao Liyue hurriedly got up and waved her hand, with a resolute refusal in her eyes: "No!" ”

But he didn't want to say no, and directly angered the emperor, so he yelled in front of everyone: "Whose world should you think this is?" This is my world! Since ancient times, the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, I have just given you the opportunity to tell you who you like, but if you don't say it, what can I do? ”

As he spoke, his hands slapped towards the table from time to time, and the crisp voice made Gonggong Yuan on the side feel painful.

"If you want me to see it, it is the proton of Dongyang Kingdom that is the most suitable. Today's Dongyang Kingdom is no longer the small country that was nothing in the past. At this time, if we can let the marriage inside, it will be the best opportunity to consolidate our dynasty. Didn't you say from the bottom that you wanted to do things for the country? This is your mission! ”

The emperor was obviously anxious, so he didn't listen to Xiao Liyue at all, and talked to himself alone.

"Your Majesty, I don't think I can remember this matter. After all, this marriage is a lifelong event, and it must not be determined so so-so. "Thinking of Xiao Xueqing's child who is still pregnant with Feng Sujing in her womb, if she really lets Xiao Liyue marry now, it will definitely be a big house in the future.

Not to mention that his own children have become small houses, no matter what he does at that time, he will have to look at Xiao Liyue's face. Just thinking about it, I feel quite uncomfortable in my heart.

The three people present all fiercely opposed, but the emperor's determination was deepened even more.

"I'm tired, all of you stand down." Without the idea of continuing to quarrel with the person in front of him, the emperor said directly, turned around and walked in the direction of the bed.

Gonggong Yuan immediately sent a signal to the attendants waiting outside, and in an instant, several soldiers with weapons rushed in and formed a group to block the connection between them.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please leave now." Gonggong Yuan came out and said politely to the other party.

Xiao Chuyan knew that if he didn't leave, he would be beaten out by those soldiers, so he could only flick his sleeves angrily and leave directly.

Soon, the news of the emperor's edict to let Feng Sujing and Xiao Liyue marry spread in the palace.

Although the queen had already sent someone to deliver the news as soon as she received the news, Xiao Xueqing must not be allowed to know about it. But after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and Xiao Xueqing, who went out to rest, heard a concubine talking about it from a distance.

"Binon, what did you just hear?" Xiao Xueqing's face instantly turned pale, her eyes revealed a sadness, and she asked Bi Nong beside her.

Binon hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Did you hear that, too? Brother Feng is going to marry Xiao Liyue's stinky woman on the third day of the first lunar month next month? Xiao Xueqing roared sharply, turned around directly and rushed in the direction of the Yuexi Pavilion, her mind was already chaotic.

When she didn't stop all the way to the front of the Moon Tide Pavilion, she directly shouted Xiao Liyue's name.

But at this time, Xiao Liyue was no worse than her at all, and she knew that if the two met at this time, they would inevitably quarrel.

Just stay in your room and don't go out no matter how much you shout outside.

"Xiao Liyue, you are really a liar, you will never compete with me Big brother, it turns out that everything is a lie."

Running all the way, coupled with shouting with so much strength just now, Xiao Xueqing began to feel some pain in her abdomen. I couldn't help but walk slowly in the direction of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but I felt weak on the road, and when it was dark in front of me, I fainted directly.
