Chapter 782: Stubbornness
Lu You, who was lying on the ground, saw that the emperor had not moved for a long time, and his heart was even more uneasy, and he cautiously raised his head and glanced at the emperor bravely, and saw that the emperor was staring at him with an angry face, Lu You hurriedly lowered his head again.
Li Cong was indeed angry with Lu You, no, to be exact, he was angry with Yan Yan.
He never dreamed that Yan Yan would have such courage to dare to ask the emperor to marry only one Lu Jin, not to mention whether Li Xi agreed or not, he would never agree!
What is this?
Pampered and arrogant, or proud?
The royal tradition of thousands of years, no, not only the royal family, but the entire patriarchal society, from the emperor to the ordinary people, which man does not have a few concubines or something?
Unless it's those poor men who don't have enough to eat!
With a little bit of assets, no one will accept a few women at home, you know, this is also a kind of faΓ§ade, which one of the wives dares not to comply, and a letter of resignation will immediately beat her back to her parents' house!
Therefore, Li Cong never thought that taking a concubine could still be a problem, and it could be raised as a single question?
But Yan Yanbian did just that!
Not only does she demand this from her husband, but she also wants to ask her son-in-law like this, what does she want to do? Or is she unsure what she's doing?
Fortunately, Li Cong was angry and angry, and he still had a trace of reason, because he knew that Yan Yan's words were not general, they must be related to her own experience, otherwise, she would not ask her husband so much, which was too shocking, but at that time, because she suffered a divorce, and Lu You was a stupid concubine who couldn't speak, so everyone thought that she was looking for a psychological balance for herself, so she didn't think much about it.
But later, Lu You was made a marquis, and he still didn't dare to take a concubine, Li Cong paid attention to this matter, and when he inquired, it turned out that when Lu You was on the front line, someone had sent women to him, but he refused, and he had been doing it for a few years.
For this reason, Li Cong once teased Lu You, saying that he was going to give him two stunning women, of course, he just wanted to try Lu You, to see if he really didn't want to take a concubine or was afraid of Yan Yan's prestige.
Lu You naturally rejected him, saying that he really didn't want to take a concubine, firstly, because he didn't want to betray Yan Yan, and secondly, he was really not interested in other women, not the face he liked, he would feel bored, and at the same time he would feel guilty.
At this point, Li Cong believed that there was really such a fool in this world, but he was also stupid and cute.
But if this matter is to be spread to Li Xi, it is not cute, but troublesome, it is a thunderous storm, it is a storm, and even the earth shakes, Yan Yan has not thought about it, how much criticism will she receive!
"You go back and tell her to stop thinking about it before it's too late." Li Cong didn't say any extra words, and waved his hand.
"Whoa." Lu You answered, but he didn't move, because he kept his head down and didn't see the emperor's gesture, and besides, he still wanted to communicate with the emperor about this matter, he was afraid that the emperor would be angry with his wife.
Who knew that Lu You organized the language, and when he was about to speak again, Li Cong spoke, "Why don't you leave?" β
"Huh? Oh. Lu You raised his head, glanced at the emperor boldly, and asked weakly, "Emperor Qiqi, what if the emperor himself is willing?" β
"Presumptuous, who do you think you are?" Li Cong was so angry that he blew his beard, for Lu You's stubbornness.
"Back to the emperor, the minister is not only a minister, but also a father, but also a husband, the minister can't bear to let his wife have any worries, and he doesn't want to see his daughter depressed in the future, washing her face with tears." Lu You bowed his head, although he was trembling, he still insisted on saying his heart.
"Bastard, I am not only the emperor, I am also a role model for men in the world, I can't deprive men of the world of their power because you are alone, do you think, the men of the world and your daughter, which is more important?" Li Cong was so angry that he got off the kang, walked to Lu You's side and kicked him.
There is no way, there are so many eunuchs standing inside and outside the door, if this word spreads, won't he, the emperor, become a joke?
This time, Lu You comprehended the emperor's anger, lowered his head, and didn't dare to move the place anymore, nor did he dare to open his mouth again.
However, he didn't agree with this sentence in his heart, and he didn't force men all over the world not to take concubines, this kind of thing is voluntary, and it follows his own heart, otherwise, it is difficult to control it by external constraints alone.
Li Cong saw that Lu You's face was still unhappy, and guessed that he must still not have figured it out, but he didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and snorted, "Don't go home yet?" β
Lu You was about to get up when he heard this, and there was a eunuch outside the door who reported that the crown prince Li Ji was coming.
When Lu You heard this, he still knelt on the ground, "Back to the emperor, can the minister ask the prince what he means?" β
"Get out." Li Cong glared at him, and did not let Prince Xuan come in.
Seeing this, Lu You had to get up, and when he walked to the door, Li Cong announced that Prince Xuan came in, obviously, he didn't want the two of them to talk outside.
Although Li Ji didn't know his father's intentions, he heard his father's sentence "Get out" and knew that his father was angry, but he didn't know who the person he met inside was, let alone why his father was angry, so when he saw Lu You, Li Ji was taken aback, "Brother-in-law, it's you?" β
After being surprised, Li Ji was more worried, because he knew that his father had always valued Yan Yan and his wife, not to mention heavy responsibility, and he rarely said a word of heavy responsibility, so he could guess that Lu You was in a lot of trouble this time without asking.
"Back to the prince, the minister has retired." Lu You finally got smart and didn't pull the prince to sue.
However, after seeing Lu You leave, Li Ji still asked Li Cong what Lu You had done wrong.
Li Cong didn't want to talk about this topic, but after thinking about it, not only Lu You was a screw, but Yan Yan was also assertive, but I was afraid that these words would have been handed to the crown princess a long time ago, because Li Cong knew that the two of them were not ordinarily close.
"Did the crown princess tell you that Yan'er is not allowed to accept a concubine from Xi'er, and is only allowed to marry Lu Jin?"
"What, you are not allowed to take a concubine?" Li Ji was obviously also frightened by these words, "Is this what Yan'er meant?" Is this why my father is angry? β
"Shouldn't I be angry?" Li Cong asked angrily, who is he for?
"Erchen didn't hear the crown princess mention this matter, but I heard her envy Yan'er's sister's peace of mind more than once, saying that their husband and wife are harmonious, there are no disputes between those concubines, and the children are also very friendly and harmonious, which Xi'er and Ran'er have said more than once, saying that they like their family, and the family is always happy and laughing." Li Ji said thoughtfully.
It's not that he agrees that his son should marry only one, but he is afraid that his father's thunderous anger Yan Yan can't afford it.
