Chapter 20: The Absurd Marriage Gift
Princess Zhaoyang once again returned from the royal garden and returned to the Queen Mother's Yongkang Palace, her big fleshy face drooped, and her small mouth pouted to be able to bolt her head to the donkey, and the Queen Mother was distressed.
It's been ten days in a row, and every time I go out and come back, it's like this, and it's getting more and more sad every day.
The queen mother once again called the palace maid beside the princess to come and ask.
"The princess or let someone go to the palace gate to find someone?"
The Queen Mother is more than forty years old, and it is the time when the charm still exists, if it weren't for the fact that she felt sorry for her daughter these days and worried about her daughter, with her current status, she would not be depressed.
The palace maid immediately replied: "Back to Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the princess is still the same as a few days ago, only saying that she is going to find a handsome son, and she still refuses to say anything else......"
The contemplation between the queen mother's eyebrows was a little heavier, and she herself was confused about everything, so she only thought about it herself, and the princess was afraid of which son she had fallen in love with.
But whose son is it?
Every time she asked the princess, did she know what the name of the prince was? The princess only nodded her head to show that she knew, but when she was asked anything else, she just shook her head and said nothing.
Can the Queen Mother just be in a hurry?
When the Queen Mother was struggling to figure it out, she suddenly heard the voice of her baby girl crying, and hurried over.
"Shu'er, what's wrong?" Princess Zhaoyang's name is Lin Qingshu.
The princess looked up from the table, and when she saw her mother with tears in her eyes, she cried even more sadly, and almost cried with a grin.
"I can't find him, he must be lost...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Who is Shu'er looking for, is it okay to tell the queen mother?" The queen mother asked very gently, but her heart had already collapsed, and her heart said, who is this person, causing the princess to worry all day long, and the mourning family must break your body into pieces.
Princess Zhaoyang, as usual, immediately shook her head as soon as she heard such a question from the queen mother, and shook her head desperately.
"Shu'er......" The Queen Mother called out at length, and every now and then, she was also angry in her heart, "Since you know that son and know his name, why don't you refuse to tell the Queen Mother?" If you don't say it, how can the queen mother let your royal brother give you a marriage? ”
Marriage?
Princess Zhaoyang seemed to have suddenly solved some world problem, and she was still crying and chirping in the last second, but her eyes were already shining and her spirit was flying in this second.
"Shu'er knows how to find him......"
After Princess Zhaoyang said this, she got up and ran out with a "whoosh".
Princess Zhaoyang is definitely the most flexible fat person.
The queen mother was confused again, looking at the door of the palace and stunned for a few seconds, and when she reacted, she said, let her go, the princess is running around in the palace all day long, and she can't lose it, it's all with her, and she is used to it.
Princess Zhaoyang ran to the emperor's Minghe Palace in one go, but the emperor was not there, and the palace people said that they went to the queen's Jiaofang Palace.
The princess ran to the Jiaofang Palace, the entire palace, who doesn't know the temperament of Princess Zhaoyang, she has become the most special person in the palace, she can rampage anywhere and no one dares to stop her.
After entering the Jiaofang Palace, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he picked up the emperor and was about to leave.
The emperor is looking at the queen mother's nurturing grace to him, and he always wants to spoil this sister a little more, after all, his intelligence is not sound.
When she arrived at the emperor's Minghe Palace, Princess Zhaoyang said something.
"I want the royal brother to give me a marriage."
"Marriage?"
The emperor was a little surprised, shouldn't the queen mother tell her such a big event?
How could it be that she herself came to ask for a marriage?
Moreover, looking at Princess Zhaoyang, who was already sweating profusely, was so eager, it didn't look like a marriage, but like a marriage robbery.
At the Lotus Palace banquet a few days ago, the emperor knew that the Queen Mother was in a hurry because of Princess Zhaoyang's marriage, and she was already seventeen years old, and she would really become an old girl if she didn't marry again.
But there has been no movement for so many days, and he still thinks that the princess has nothing to like.
But why is it so sudden and so urgent today?
The emperor coughed a few times, in the end, he was not in good health, stabilized his mind, spread out the brocade silk, lifted the red pen, made a look of being able to marry immediately, and asked, "Say, which son?" ”
"The son-in-law of the Yue family of the Marquis of Changping." Princess Zhaoyang said very excitedly.
"The son-in-law of the Yue family?" The emperor did not put down his pen, and looked at Princess Zhaoyang with some surprise.
A few days ago, King Xian proposed to give the county barony, and the emperor naturally knew about this son-in-law, besides, there were no other sons in the Yue family.
But what the emperor was really curious about was that it had been so many days since the Lotus Palace banquet, why she herself suddenly came to ask for marriage today.
"It's okay to give marriage, the imperial brother will ask you a few questions first, cough cough ......" The emperor put down the red pen, coughed a few times, and took a few sips of the tea offered by the palace people.
Before she could ask, Princess Zhaoyang was in a hurry.
"Why didn't the royal brother write? Hurry up and write it! Zhaoyang was so anxious that he had already stuffed the red pen into the emperor's hand by himself, and he almost didn't hold his hand to write.
"Don't worry, the royal brother is full of words, and if he says that he will give marriage, he will definitely give marriage......"
Although Zhaoyang was not very happy, she still nodded, she just believed in the emperor's brother's words and came here.
"Does the Queen Mother know about this?"
"I don't know." Princess Zhaoyang shook her head.
"Why don't you let the Queen Mother know?"
"They will kill the son-in-law." Zhaoyang lowered his head, and his voice was very depressed.
"Why?"
"When I was a child, the little eunuch that Shu'er liked was executed by the queen mother and the fifth brother, and there was a palace maid, so Shu'er had to protect her father-in-law this time, and the royal brother gave marriage, and the queen mother and the fifth brother did not dare to touch the imperial brother's people......"
The Empress Dowager executed several little eunuchs and palace maids, but the emperor didn't care, he was curious about how she understood the last sentence.
"How do you know that the queen mother and your fifth brother dare not touch the royal brother?" The emperor had a relaxed look on his face and lifted the pen again.
"I heard the queen mother and the fifth brother often say that whoever is the emperor's brother can't ......move," Zhaoyang's mind was looking forward to the emperor's brother's pen.
The emperor watched under the eager gaze of Princess Zhaoyang, began to write the marriage decree, and asked again: "Then have you heard them talk about the heir?" ”
“……”
Princess Zhaoyang stared at the holy decree, and she had no other thoughts, not even hearing the emperor's question.
The emperor had to stop and look up and ask, "Brother Emperor asks you, have you heard them say anything about the heir?" ”
Princess Zhaoyang looked stunned, raised her head and looked at the emperor, only then did she hear the question clearly, thought for a while and said: "They said that let the sixth brother marry the princess first, and when he has an heir, he will be carried into the palace......
"What about your fifth brother?"
"If the fifth brother doesn't make it, he knows how to spend all his time."
"Who said that?"
"The Queen Mother."
The emperor was silent, continued to write the holy decree, and reminded Princess Zhaoyang: "Today's matter is kept secret by the imperial brother for you, you don't have to say a word to the queen mother, everything is borne by the imperial brother for you." ”
Today's incident made the emperor know one thing, the person Princess Zhaoyang trusted the most was actually him.
