Chapter 108: A Request for Marriage (II)

The minister who got Concubine Xue's words stepped forward and said that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jing Mo and Yao Die Shang Yao fell into the water together.

Jing Mo, who was silently watching everything just now, was not good at being silent at this time. had to step forward, "Father, there was a crowd of people that night, and the sons and two young ladies fell into the moat without noticing. The sons and daughters have an unshirkable responsibility, and they also ask their father to give them a marriage. ”

The emperor's mood today is really bad, but now that things are like this, and if he is brought to the court, he has to come to a conclusion.

"What are you going to do?" The emperor asked Jingmo with a frown.

"Please ask Brigadier General Yao to give his son a side concubine." Jing Mo didn't mention Shang Yao, only Yao Die.

"Exactly." The emperor glanced at King Yao Zhou, who was hanging his head, and then at Jing Mo, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and waved his big hand.

But if Jingmo doesn't mention it, it doesn't mean that others don't mention it. Yu Shi, who had just impeached Prime Minister Shang, stood up again at this time, "Your Majesty, this matter not only involves Lord Yao, but also about Prime Minister Shang's concubine, I don't know how the third prince plans to place the prime minister's daughter?" ”

Shang Rong is really going to cry, did he really not read the yellow calendar when he went out today? How many things are related to him.

To say that just now Jingmo looked at the Prime Minister of Yushi and Shang, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but now he is crying bitterly. It really happened to me, and I knew what it was like. For example, now, Jing Mo doesn't want to mention Shang Yao at all, he only wants the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not any concubine.

"Father, the prime minister's second daughter hasn't finished yet, at this time, say this..."Before Jing Mo finished speaking, Yushi took over, "It's not like the third prince said this, although the prime minister's concubine hasn't finished yet, but after all, she is not a child, innocence and reputation are the most important, how can it be exposed like this?" ”

"Since the prime minister's daughter hasn't been prepared yet, let's wait for the Ji Ji to talk about it, make it down first, and then enter the mansion after the Ji Ji." The emperor made up his mind in one sentence. Shang Rong's heart cooled a lot when he heard the emperor's sentence of 'inclusion in the mansion'.

This is to let Shang Yao enter the prince's mansion without a name.

Jing Mo naturally didn't forget to promise Concubine Xue about it, and when he saw that the matter was decided, he spoke again, "Father, the son is not too young, and at the beginning of the new year, I want to ask my father to marry the daughter of the son and the Xue family." ”

After speaking, Jing Mo made a big gift in a regular manner, "Erchen implores his father to give the daughter of the Xue family to Erchen as his wife." ”

The emperor looked at Jing Mo with deep eyes, and his mind turned a thousand times in his heart before he looked at Xue Tang, "What does Xue Aiqing think?" ”

Xue Tang, who was asked, stepped forward and gave up his hand, "But it's up to the emperor to decide." ”

"Okay, that's right." The emperor said no more.

"The son wrote about his father." Jing Mo kowtowed, got up and returned to his position.

Jing Yu also stood up, "Father, son-in-law also want to ask my father to marry." ”

The emperor looked at Jing Yu with complicated eyes, his eldest son, "Oh? I don't know which family's daughter Yu'er wants to marry? ”

Jing Yu arched his hand, "Back to my father, the person my son wants to marry is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Shang." Hearing this, Shang Rong raised his head and looked at Jing Yu, the eldest son who had nothing, and at this time he actually wanted to marry his own daughter-in-law.

How could Shang Rong agree, what he wanted was for Shang Liyuan to marry someone who wanted to reach the top of the mountain, Jing Yu was not his first choice. But now that the three princes and the seven princes already have concubines, Shang Liyuan will naturally not be a side concubine, and a concubine is even more impossible.

Thinking of this, Shang Rong began to hesitate, and at the moment, it seemed that Jing Yu was also a good choice.

Jing Mo, who had just returned to his position, heard that Jing Yu had asked to marry Shang Liyuan, and he was anxious and didn't want to speak, "Brother Huang, have you forgotten that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year, Miss Shangfu was rewarded by the emperor for choosing the person she married?" Now the royal brother actually disregarded the wishes of Miss Shangfu and asked to marry Miss Shangfu, I don't know what the royal brother thinks? ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Jing Yu replied to Jing Mo gently, and then looked at the emperor in a high position, "Father Emperor, the son has already passed the thoughts of the son to Miss Shangfu, and Miss Shang is willing to marry her son." ”

"Miss Shangfu is not here, and it is not for the imperial brother to say. When the father made the decree, Miss Shangfu could not resist the decree even if she was unwilling, and the imperial brother ignored his father's words and did not believe it. Brother Huang's calculation is really good. ”

This is the first time Jing Mo has treated Jing Yu like this in public. The ministers of the court were a little surprised, but they still remained silent, and their hearts began to make a good calculation.

"Father, the father of the son is the most clear, not to mention that the son is not the kind of person who can lie, nor is he such a person who ignores his father." Jing Yu's words revealed grievances, which made the aggressive Jing Mo fall behind.

"However, the emperor's questioning is not unreasonable." Jing Yu is still as gentle as ever, and has earned everyone's favor, "Father, after the son revealed to Miss Shangfu what he wanted to marry, he got Miss Shangfu's consent, which means that he wants to ask his father to marry today." For this reason, Miss Shangfu said that she was not present at her father's reward last year, which may make everyone question. ”

"Sure enough, therefore, Miss Shangfu told Qin Shangshu about the matter on the second day of the first month, so that Qin Shangshu can testify today and prove that what Erchen said is not a lie."

Qin Shangshu heard Jing Yu mention himself, and saw the emperor looking at him, so he stepped forward and arched his hand, "Back to the emperor, this matter is as the eldest prince said." ”

"When the second junior daughter and granddaughter returned to Qin's mansion, Weichen's granddaughter and Weichen talked about it."

"Thank you Qin Shangshu." Jing Yu smiled and thanked him.

Jing Mo on the side did have a dark face, there was no wind about this before, why did it become like this? Of course, Jingmo was unwilling.

"The imperial brother still has something unclear, and the imperial brother still needs to solve his doubts."

"Brother Huang, please speak."

"The royal brother has always lived in the palace, but Miss Shangfu is Miss Boudoir, I don't know how the royal brother exchanged news with Miss Shangfu?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, yes, these words are a bit heart-wrenching, which not only shows that Jing Yu is not as simple as it seems, but also shows that Miss Shangfu communicates letters with the prince in the deep palace regardless of her reputation.

Jing Yu was still the same as before, and he didn't seem to hear anything out of Jing Mo's words, "Have you forgotten the emperor?" We went to the city on Chinese New Year's Eve to see the lanterns and traveled with Miss Shangfu and others. It just so happened that this opportunity allowed the royal brother and Miss Shangfu to exchange hearts. ”

The last thing Jing Mo wanted to mention was that night, and when he heard Jing Yu mention the events of that night, he didn't speak.

"Father, Qin Shangshu has already testified for his son, and he also asked his father for permission."

The emperor's heart was confused, and it was difficult not to agree to Jing Yu's request, and it was difficult to agree. The eldest son's thoughts are too complicated, he will definitely take action against the Qin family, and when the time comes, there will be a granddaughter of the Qin family as the concubine Jing Yu, what should happen then?

However, this eldest son rarely asked him for anything, and the emperor sighed in his heart, a little helpless.

"That's right."

"Now, since the candidates for the three princes have been decided, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu will choose a date for the princes to get married." The Emperor commanded.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward to receive the order, "The minister has decreed, the emperor might as well let the three princes marry together, there has never been such a good story." ”

The emperor thought for a moment and nodded.

In this way, the marriage of the three princes was decided.
