Chapter 74: Rejection
"Imperial grandmother, there is always no mistress in my prince's mansion, and it always seems a little desolate, so I dare to ask the imperial grandmother to marry me today."
Yu Wenyi, as soon as he finished saying this, the Queen Mother laughed heartily.
"You are the emperor's grandson, you have finally opened your mind, look at your younger brothers who are younger than you, now some even have children, but you don't even have a concubine, the imperial grandmother has long been worried, and I have mentioned it to you many times, and you have also prevaricated."
"Now that you take the initiative to request, the imperial grandmother has no reason to refuse, and the Qu family is a Jiangmen family, and it is also a good choice to marry the Qu family, in terms of reason, the imperial grandmother will not refuse."
"Today happens to be my birthday, this is a happy event, my imperial grandson has finally opened his mind, and wants to find a suitable candidate for the crown princess for the prince's mansion, this is a happy event, today is really a happy thing."
The Queen Mother was decided.
"Okay, this matter has been decided, this is what I agree, wait until the emperor comes over later, just let him choose a good day, and let you get married."
was about to watch the play next to him, but found that he was forcibly pulled into the play, and Qu Huashang couldn't understand the situation in front of him at this time.
???
What's going on? How did Yu Wenyi suddenly say that he was born beautiful, and asked to marry himself.
Why didn't the queen mother just ask her own opinion, and stuffed herself to Yu Wenyi?
And Qu Sorrow, hasn't she always liked her prince brother? How could you be willing to be a side concubine?
Qu Huashang looked to the side, and found that Qu Youlian's face was not very good, Qu Youlian's hands were on the table, and the table was about to be pulled out of a hole by her, Qu Youlian didn't seem to notice it.
Damn, how can it? How can this be?
No matter who is going to be the crown princess, it can be, but Qu Huashang.
Why is this princess Qu Huashang?
Why is it my sister who has to compete with me since I was a child?
It took so much effort, and even with the help of his mother, he was able to catch up with the entire Lin family, and he was barely able to get the position of a side concubine.
But why? Why did Qu Huashang easily become the wife of the prince's brother without doing anything.
It's anyone, it's anyone, but it shouldn't be Qu Huashang.
At this time, I don't know that Qu was very unconvinced, and Xu was also very angry.
Damn, I didn't expect this man to keep such a hand.
Okay, good, it's like killing two birds with one stone, not only let their Lin family get in, but even bring the Qu family over, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good calculation, so that he can make a steady profit.
Now he has his daughter, and the one named Qu Huashang married into the prince's mansion at the same time, and his daughter is one level lower than Qu Huashang.
My daughter and myself have worked so hard, but in the end, they still get the same situation as now.
This prince... What you do, it's really a bit of a chicken thief.
But from their point of view, they couldn't find any fault, because they just asked for the position of the side concubine, and they never said that they would interfere with the choice of the main concubine.
Can.........
The Xu family has always used these tricks to play with people, and this is the first time that they have been deflated by others.
But... Since this is already something that Lafayette promised, then whether they are there, it is somewhat useless in any case.
Lafayette has always said the same thing, and Lafayette is the authority here, and ordinary people would rather disobey the emperor than disobey Lafayette.
Lafayette is a person who can't be offended, even if it is the Lin family, when speaking in front of Lafayette, he must weigh it first.
Although Lafayette has no real power in his hands, after all, the emperor is a dutiful son, and most of Lafayette's words will be listened to and adopted.
So... It should be the same this time.
Just when the people below sighed with emotion, the prince was going to the two beautiful girls in the street all of a sudden, and they were both members of the Qu family.
Qu Huashang stood up violently.
General Qu also stood up.
"What's the matter with the two of you?" Galeries Lafayette squinted at them.
"Lafayette, the courtiers have something to say." Qu Huashang bowed respectfully to Lafayette, and what she did in terms of etiquette was that people couldn't find any fault.
"The courtier is the eldest lady of the Qu family, Qu Huashang."
Hearing Qu Huashang's words, Lafayette looked up a few times, and then nodded approvingly.
"Ah, it turns out that you are the eldest lady of the Qu family, looking at this appearance is really a sign of life, no wonder the emperor wants to marry you as his wife."
However, looking at the approval in Lafayette's eyes, Qu Huashang shook his head.
"The courtiers are deeply grateful for the love of Lafayette and His Royal Highness the Prince, but ...... For this love, the courtiers may not be able to bear it, and ask Lafayette to take back her life, but the courtiers are unwilling to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, and they have no interest in being the princess or anything. ”
Lafayette's eyes, which were originally approving, suddenly became cold and sharp when he heard Qu Huasheng's words.
"The little girl of the Qu family, are you disobeying me? Does he think that the prince of a country is not worthy of your identity? ”
Lafayette's tone can be seen that Lafayette is very unhappy now, the air pressure is a little low, and the hall is silent, all of them are staring at Qu Huasheng to see how she ends.
General Qu, who stood up just now, hurriedly walked to his daughter's side, and also bowed seriously to Lafayette.
"Thanks to the love of Lafayette and His Royal Highness the Prince, but my daughter grew up in the barracks with me when she was a child, so her temperament may be a little more hearty and free, compared to ordinary women, she may be a little vulgar, and she is not the best candidate to be the crown princess."
"Besides, my daughter has already been interested in someone......"
In addition to the general's words, he was interrupted by Lafayette with a displeased expression before he finished speaking.
"Then according to the old general's meaning, that is, I, who is the queen mother, is quite unreasonable, forcibly beating the mandarin ducks, and breaking up the people?"
Although General Qu really wanted to have a fight with this queen mother and choke her, after all, this queen mother was originally quite unreasonable.
How can there be such a thing, her daughter's lifelong events have not been spoken by her own daughter, so she made an idea, this queen mother is really...
There is also the crown prince, who is a little too greedy, he has two daughters in his own family, and he still wants to be included in his mansion.
Besides, does the prince like his daughter, has he asked his daughter's opinion? Does his daughter like him, he asked to marry without asking, isn't it obvious that he is chasing ducks on the shelves, and it is embarrassing.
Even if it is the crown prince and the queen mother, this method is inevitably inappropriate.
However, General Qu didn't say what he thought in his heart, because the other party was no one else, it was the Queen Mother, who was known for being arrogant and unreasonable, but everyone didn't dare to offend her, who made the emperor a dutiful son, and more often than not, he obeyed his mother's words.
General Qu didn't speak, and Qu Huashang didn't know how to answer for a while, so the atmosphere cooled down for a while.
But fortunately, at this time, there was a sharp voice from the little eunuch from behind.
"The Emperor Arrives ————"
"The King of Peking Arrives ————"
"The King of Stability Arrives in ————"
At the sound of the little eunuch's announcement, three extremely noble people came in.
As soon as the emperor came in, he saw Qu Huashang and General Qu in the middle of the hall.
He also obviously felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall as soon as he came in, obviously the atmosphere of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet should be extremely joyful, but now it was a little depressing.
"What's wrong?" The emperor hurriedly sat on the throne next to the queen mother, and asked his mother with concern.
Yuwen Tuo also walked quickly to Qu Huasheng's side, although he didn't know what was going on, but it should always be right to follow her.
As for the king of Beiping, seeing that the situation was not quite right, he did not take a seat, but followed his imperial nephew.
Seeing that the emperor was coming, Lafayette was even more energetic.
"Emperor, you came just in time, come and give me a review."
As he spoke, Lafayette pointed to Qu Huasheng, who was standing in the hall, without saying a word.
"It's this girl, I don't know how to lift."
Lafayette is estimated to be old, and no one has ever objected to his opinion, so he was suddenly opposed by this, and Lafayette was a little out of breath when he spoke.
When the emperor saw his mother's appearance, he was naturally worried that some stern eyes fell on Qu Huasheng's body.
"Say, what's going on?"
Although he was stared at by the stern and condemning gaze of the current saint, it may be that there is the existence of Yuwen Tuo beside him, so Qu Huashang did not feel afraid.
She met the emperor's eyes without humility or arrogance.
"Back to the emperor, just now when the emperor has not come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Lafayette that he wanted to marry me as the crown princess, and Lafayette also agreed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lafayette nailed this matter to the iron plate without my consent, and pointed me to the prince."
"I refused."
As soon as Qu Huasheng's words were said here, before he could continue, Lafayette interrupted him angrily.
"My emperor and grandson proposed to me to marry you, which was a blessing for your Qu family, and instead of accepting this blessing, you refused."
"Your move is to look down on our royal face, what kind of status do you put in the royal face of our Great Cloud Country, what kind of status do you put the crown prince, and what kind of status do you put me, Lafayette?"
"Could it be that the Qu family is so powerful that even the royal family can not be taken seriously?"
Lafayette is worthy of being Lafayette, and he is really an old fox, and in a few words, he brought such a simple matter to the face of the royal family.
The emperor was still calm at first, but when he heard Lafayette say this, his face was a little uncalm.
The people in power are most taboo that the people below have the slightest disobedience, especially the powerful families below, such as the Qu family of the Great Cloud Kingdom.
The emperor was originally a little jealous because of the power and influence of the Qu family, but now that these words came out of Lafayette's mouth, the emperor's face was also a little displeased.
This composer... Could it really be the other way around?
Qu Huashang can't let this Lafayette continue, and then let this old demon continue, and I can't tell what kind of big hat will come out and buckle on Qu Jia's body later.
Qu Huashang hurriedly stepped forward and took two steps, and then respectfully bent his waist to ninety degrees.
Yuwen Tuo also followed closely behind Qu Huasheng, not leaving an inch.
"Your Majesty, what Lafayette said is not what the courtiers meant."
"The courtier's refusal of His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal for marriage has no other reason, it is actually because the courtier's daughter already has a sweetheart, and she has made a private decision for life."
Hearing this sentence, the king of Beiping next to him was just holding his arms to watch the play, to see how far this situation could develop, and to see how Qu Huashang should deal with the situation in front of him.
The person who can be his future executor can't be bad at absolutely improvising, so he didn't step forward to help just now, just stayed by the side to watch the play, which can be regarded as a test of Qu Huashang for him, the emperor's uncle.
However, this sentence of private life really made the king of Beiping a little calm.
This bastard boy, when did he lie to other girls and make a private agreement with her for life, why didn't even he, who was an uncle, know about this matter?
Why didn't I let him witness it when I was engaged for life, I really didn't have a sense of ceremony at all.
"Someone you like?" Lafayette's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Qu Huashang with some displeasure.
"I guess I don't have any intentions, it's just to deal with the situation in front of me, bluffing what the emperor said in the past, if you really have an intention to love someone and make a private lifelong commitment, how could the prince rashly propose to marry you? Are you really a fool to be a prince? ”
"Yes, she has a crush on someone." Yuwen Tuo took Qu Huasheng's hand, stepped forward and walked shoulder to shoulder with Qu Huasheng.
"Imperial grandmother, she has an intentional crush, it is me, and the two of us are indeed privately bound for life."
Yuwen Tuo said, and without holding Qu Huasheng's hand, he took out the peace charm from his chest.
It was a peace charm given to him by Xiang'er, it was her heart for him embroidered by a needle and thread, and it was also a token of love that Xiang'er gave herself.
What I gave to her was a living creature, a little rabbit.
What she gave herself was a hand-sewn peace charm.
This is the token.
"Imperial grandson, you..."
Lafayette couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, and almost fainted, but fortunately, the emperor helped her in the back, and Lafayette didn't faint.
"Tuo'er, what you just said is all true?" The emperor looked at Yuwen Tuo with some sternness.
"Back to my father, what the son said just now is all true, if there is falsehood, the sky will thunder."
As he spoke, Yuwen Tuo lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down on his knees in front of the emperor and Lafayette above the throne.
