Chapter 182: Perfect Reason
Zhao Ziyi really hoped that the emperor would never mention the marriage again, but he knew that it was impossible, because even if the emperor forgot it, Ruoying would not forget it, and he would have to face it sooner or later.
Now that the emperor is asking Xiang Jin's whereabouts, Zhao Ziyi suddenly thought of this excuse, in his opinion, Xiang Jin's departure is an excellent opportunity for him to shirk the emperor.
The emperor didn't know the real reason for Xiang Jin's departure, so it was most convincing to blame Xiang Jin's disappearance on the fact that the Seventh Duke mainly married into the Yong'an Palace.
In his previous performance in front of the emperor, the relationship between him and Xiang Jin was not bad, and they got along well in the palace, I believe the emperor must know that if there is no sudden unpleasant quarrel between them because of any major event, it will definitely not be explained clearly.
If this matter is said to be Xiang Jin's jealousy for the Seventh Duke to marry him, it will be easy to win people's trust, because if a woman is jealous, no matter how big a matter is, not to mention that Xiang Jin is not an ordinary woman, so this statement is definitely reasonable.
In this way, the emperor can't blame him for Xiang Jin's disappearance, after all, the culprit is the emperor, and maybe he can use this to push off the marriage of the seventh princess, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
No matter how you think about it, Zhao Ziyi feels that this is a perfect reason, the emperor must be reluctant to be wronged, and he also has to take care of General Xiang's side, so as long as he pushes the boat down the river, he will definitely be able to refuse this marriage.
Zhao Ziyi originally thought that after the emperor heard these words, things would develop as he imagined, and he even thought about how to reject the holy will, but the emperor's answer was something he didn't expect, and it almost didn't make his jaw drop.
"Hmph, I said that day just to appease Ruoying, and to test you by the way, are you still serious? actually told Princess Yongan about this, and fell out with her about it! ”
When the emperor said this, Zhao Ziyi was stunned and stayed with his mouth open for a long time, and when he reacted, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he almost couldn't help laughing.
Since Xiang Jin left, Zhao Ziyi has never been happier than now, and the rhetoric he prepared seems to be useless.
It turned out that the emperor had not taken any action on the matter of giving marriage, because the emperor did not take it seriously at all.
It's a shame that he is still so serious, he regards this as a thorny problem, and he has been obsessed with it, and even racked his brains to think about how to push off the holy will, but in the end it was just a casual joke from the emperor!
Thinking about it, the emperor only asked him if he wanted to make a profit that day, although he said that he would follow the emperor's wishes, but the emperor did not make a clear statement about it, because he thought too much.
However, the emperor's words are also a bit far-fetched, because if he just wants to appease Ruoying, there is no need for the emperor to specially summon him into the palace, why bother to work so hard to make everyone known? Could it be that the emperor was afraid that Ruoying would not believe it and deliberately acted?
The emperor also said that it was to test him, but Zhao Ziyi really couldn't understand what the emperor had to test him in this matter.
With the daughter of General Zhenxi, could it be that he still dares to think about the princess? That's not a long life, isn't it? He didn't have that kind of ambition.
However, what Zhao Ziyi can be sure of is that the emperor wants to appease Zhao Ruoying more, so sometimes "the king has no jokes" depends on the situation!
