Chapter 284: Asking for Marriage
A shameful farce, only the eldest princess paid the price, and Bai Shao was also famous, and no one else was unlucky.
That Hao Yun married into the Second Prince's Mansion as a side concubine, which is not bad.
The second prince gained even more, and from this incident he tested the old emperor's love for him - he didn't even blame this kind of thing, but pocketed it for him.
What does this mean?
It represents the supreme honor of the second prince, and represents the second prince who is almost the next emperor.
So for a while, the second prince was even hotter than before, and many ministers surrounded him and followed him.
It is not too much to say that the second prince is a blessing in disguise.
Because of this, the second prince's attitude towards Bai Shao eased - he did not hate her as madly as before, but once again expressed his intention to marry her as a side concubine.
Because of what happened before, Bai Shao is so disgusted with the second prince now that she doesn't even want to act for a minute, so she directly refuses.
The second prince was dissatisfied, because Gu Qingfan's support was too important to him - a Gu Qingfan was worth the support of half of the ministers of the court, so although he was sure that the old emperor's heart belonged to him, because he was afraid of other brothers, he still wanted to take Gu Qingfan into his own camp.
So after thinking about it again and again, the second prince actually sent someone to spread the news that Bai Shao was wearing obscene clothes and was seen by himself, and then wanted to force Bai Shao to marry him.
Zhenguo Mansion, in the courtyard of Bai Shao.
Ruan Shi heard these rumors early in the morning, and angrily made the maid call Gu Qingfan over, and began to lose his temper, "What's the matter, obviously I have already rested two days ago, isn't the second prince already sure that he can sit in that position?" Why don't you let go of my Qingqing now, what does he want to do? ”
Gu Qingfan also just heard these rumors, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "Mother, the second prince clearly wants to marry Bang Qing as a side concubine, but he knows that after the last incident, it is impossible for us to marry Bang Qing to him calmly, so he used these subordinate means to set off rumors again, in a vain attempt to force us to marry Qing Qing to him." ”
"Impossible, he dreamed, and I won't marry Qingqing to him if I die, dream." Nguyen shouted angrily.
"But mother, if you don't let Bang Qing marry, it doesn't mean that the people in the Zhenguo Mansion don't want Bang Qing to marry." Speaking of this, Gu Qingfan's eyes darkened, "Mother, do you remember last time, after Bang Qing was taken away, a maid jumped out and said that Bang Qing was missing, I followed the maid to check, and found out who it was, does my mother know?" ”
"Who's on it?" Ruan Shi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.
Gu Qingfan's eyes sank, and two words came out of his mouth, "Lu Clan." ”
Ruan stayed in his seat, and after a moment, he stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Is that her?" It turned out to be her? Did she have a previous connection with the second prince? What does she want to do? Dad has never participated in any succession in his life, he is clean, and he is only loyal to the emperor, otherwise how could the Zhenguo Mansion have been prosperous until now! But that Lu Shi, what does she want to do? Does she want to destroy the Zhenguo Mansion? No, I have to tell my dad. ”
"There is no conclusive evidence, and my grandfather is now doting on the Lu family, so some things should not be said for the time being." Gu Qingfan stretched out his hand to stop the Ruan clan and persuaded, "Mother, I will send someone to keep an eye on the Lu clan a little." ”
"But what about my Qingqing?" Ruan's body shook a little uncontrollably, pulled Gu Qingfan's sleeve, and said nervously, "Qingfan, Qingqing really can't marry to the Second Prince's Mansion, although the Second Prince still wants to marry her, but he may not hate her in his heart, if Qingqing really marries, he will have a hard time for the rest of his life." ”
"No, mother." Gu Qingfan comforted her, "In fact, there is already a solution. ”
"What's the solution?" Bai Shao, who had finished grooming, slowly walked out of the room and asked with a solemn face.
Gu Qingfan glanced at her, then at Ruan Shi, who was anxious, and said slowly, "That's to marry Bang Qing to someone else." ”
What a good way to do that!
Ruan stomped his foot angrily and said hurriedly, "Let's not say that Qingqing is only eleven years old, I don't want to marry her yet, just find a Lang Jun, then I have to pick one, how can I just find someone to marry in order to avoid the second prince, no, I don't agree." ”
"I don't agree with that either." Bai Shao also followed, "I don't want to marry someone casually." ”
Gu Qingfan glanced at Bai Shao with some amusement, "Are you sure you really don't want to marry?" ”
asked this, Bai Shao didn't know why, but he couldn't say that refusal in a categorical way.
Because she suddenly thought of a teenager.
A teenager who has a good relationship with Gu Qingfan.
For a moment, Bai Shao's heart was a little excited, and she looked at Gu Qingfan in disbelief, "You mean ......?"
"That's right." Gu Qingfan nodded with a smile, "Since the second prince used the matter of desecrating clothes to force you, the fourth prince had no choice but to stand up......"
At this time, the palace of Jinluan.
Wearing a navy blue robe, a golden tiara, and a folding fan hanging around his waist, Yan Shu, who was wearing picturesque eyebrows, was standing in front of the ministers, bending over neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said loudly, "Enlighten the father, the son has something to ask the father to decide." ”
"You say." Emperor Tianyu, who was already old, sat on the dragon chair, his eyes could not see anger, and his voice did not fluctuate at all.
"Back to my father's words, I think that my sons are eighteen years old, and my brothers have already married concubines and concubines, and they have hugged a lot of children, but only my sons are still cumin, and my son's heart is really a little desolate." The way where the old god of Yanshu is present.
"Oh? Are you going to get married? Emperor Tianyu was finally aroused by his words, propped his elbows on the dragon chair, and said with interest, "Didn't you fancy which daughter?" Speak up and listen. ”
The second prince, who was standing at the front on the side, suddenly became a little uneasy, but he remembered that his fourth brother admired the young lady of the Gu family very much.
Now that he is using rumors and rumors to force the Gu family to marry Gu Bangqing, will this younger brother be afraid that he will marry Gu Bangqing away, so he will act first and ask for marriage?
Thinking of this, the second prince hurriedly interrupted what Yan Shu was about to say, and bent down with a smile and arched his hand, "Father Qi, the son also has something to say." ”
"Oh? Do you have something to say? Emperor Tianyu raised his eyebrows and set his eyes on Yan Kuo's body, his expression was obviously much softer than when he looked at Yan Shu.
Yan Shu's eyes darkened slightly, and he also turned his head to look at the second prince, obviously wanting to see what he wanted to say.
"Father, Erchen has also taken a fancy to a girl these days...... the second prince said with a smile, "If it is possible, Erchen wants to ask his father to give his son a marriage to that girl." ”
Although this kind of thing may not be very effective - you must know that with the importance of Gu Qingfan, if he resolutely opposes it, then the emperor will not give Gu Bangqing a marriage considering the security of the frontier.
This is also why the second prince never thought of asking the emperor to marry directly, but thought of using various means to force the Gu family to comply.
But now, seeing that the fourth prince may ask His Majesty to marry him and Miss Gu, the second prince can't continue to be silent - anyway, the first strike is stronger, even if the old emperor doesn't marry Miss Gu to him, Yan Shu can't compete with him anymore.
You know, competing with your brother for the title of woman is not very good.
Yan Shu didn't have the emperor's heart, if he made such a scandal again, I am afraid that he would be completely beaten into the cold palace, and even his mother, who was a concubine, would be affected.
Therefore, the second prince's move was not to give marriage, but to cut off the possibility of Yan Shu and Bai Shao.
Yan Shu saw through what he had done, he was angry, turned his head, and said loudly to Emperor Tianyu, "Father, the second emperor brother only married the young lady of the Hao family as a side concubine a few days ago, and now he wants to marry again, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Hao Shangshu, who was standing behind the second prince.
Hao Shangshu married a daughter in the past, and he didn't want the second prince to marry again, you know, if there is one more woman in the second prince's backyard, that is Hao Yun's favor.
It's a pity that this is a matter of the royal people, and he can't intervene, so he can only stand behind the second prince with a drooping face, without saying a word - although he didn't say anything, his face can be there.
Emperor Tianyu is old and refined, and he has long seen the turbulence here, but his face is not showing anything, and he said with a smile, "The fourth brother is right, Kuo'er, you only married the daughter of the Hao family a few days ago, and you should treat the daughter of the Hao family well, let's talk about this marriage later." ”
As he spoke, he was about to retreat and leave.
Yan Shu quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Father, the second emperor brother is not suitable for marriage, but Erchen is eighteen years old, and when the second emperor brother is at the age of Erchen, the eldest daughter is already several years old, and now Erchen asks his father to give marriage to his son, to meet Erchen's wish to have a child." ”
"Oh?" Emperor Tianyu frowned, "Then who do you say?" ”
"Yes......" Yan Shu tilted his head slightly, glanced at the second prince with a pale face, raised his lips and smiled at him, and said loudly, "If you go back to your father's words, it is the concubine of the Gu family, Miss Gu Bangqing." Erchen met with her several times, found that her appearance was beautiful, her heart was kind, her status was noble but she was not a bully, and she was even favored by Erchen, and now Erchen hopes that his father can give marriage to his son, and Erchen wants to win her back to the Four Princes' Mansion, be the concubine of Erchen, and stay with Erchen for a lifetime, never separated! ”
With some sonorous words, Emperor Tianyu couldn't help but be moved.
"It's an infatuated child." He turned his head sideways, as if remembering something from the past, and muttered a few words, "Infatuation, infatuation...... I want to ...... in the first place."
Yan Shu raised his head and looked at him with some expectation, hoping that he would nod his head and give this marriage.
"Ugh." The old emperor sighed and said loudly, "......", a better user experience.
