Chapter 17: Nalan Night's Idea

The strong depression was like the solemnity before the mountain rain was coming, as soon as these words came out, Nangong Chen suddenly noticed a violent aura coming to his face, and even if he was mentally prepared, he was frightened.

If this doesn't work out, he's absolutely ruined!

Resisting his father's dragon might, Nangong Chen kowtowed again and again: "Ask my father to be fulfilled!" ”

"Luo Qingluan, the second Miss Luo, has an ugly appearance and vulgar manners, and the child has been harassed by her more than once before. When the queen mother married her child, she also thought that General Luo was famous and famous, and Mrs. Luo was knowledgeable, but where did the queen mother think that when Miss Luo grew up, she turned out to be a and ugly girl, how could she be the princess? ”

"Because of this, you are going to disobey your mother's last orders?" The Emperor of Western Chu shouted angrily.

Nangong Chen was just about to answer, but a faint voice sounded next to him.

"Your Majesty, have you ever seen Miss Luo Er with your own eyes?"

This voice came so suddenly, Nangong Chen didn't expect that there were other people in the Warm Pavilion at all. Shocked, he had already heard the owner of this voice - Nalan Ye!

The only prince with a different surname in the Western Chu Kingdom, who once commanded an army of 100,000 to defeat the Nanyue Kingdom, directly promoted the weakest Western Chu to the second powerful position, you can imagine its ability!

If it was someone else, he would definitely be the lord of the town under such high merit, but Nalan didn't care about power at night, and handed over the military power soon after he returned. The Emperor of Western Chu thanked him for his loyalty and gave him the title of King of Chu, becoming the first prince with a different surname in the three hundred years since the founding of Western Chu.

Nangong Chen is just an unfavored fifth prince, and he was uncomfortable when he was accompanied to the General's Mansion by Nalan Night last time, but now when he suddenly heard his voice, he trembled all over, and he couldn't even speak.

Emperor Xichu had obviously been with Nalan Ye before, and he was not surprised by his sudden voice, but smiled faintly: "Oh, Yeqing has not seen Luo Qingluan?" ”

After wearing a bead curtain, Nalan Ye walked out with his hands in his hand, Nangong Chen took a cautious peek, only to see that his face was expressionless, but there was a deep coldness in his eyes, as if a glacier that was frozen all year round, and he was cold at a glance.

He hurriedly lowered his head, and he didn't dare to say more.

Nalan Ye didn't answer, arched his hand at the Emperor of Western Chu, sat down at his head, and said loudly: "Fifth prince, is it really because Luo Qingluan is vulgar and unbearable?" ”

With a beating in his heart, Nangong Chen hurriedly said, "Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu also go to the General's Mansion last time?" That Luo Qingluan is the daughter of the general's mansion, but she doesn't have the demeanor of a noble girl at all, she actually fell into the pool and almost drowned, her ugly state has been seen by many people, so frivolous, how can I marry her? ”

"But how did I hear that she jumped in order to save her sister and risked her life?"

When Emperor Xichu heard this, he was surprised: "So, the second daughter of Luocheng is so righteous and brave?" Well, that's not bad. As he spoke, he nodded his head in approval, as if he was beginning to admire the future daughter-in-law.

As soon as he heard this, Nangong Chen panicked even more, and said in a panic: "But father, the child really doesn't like her." ”

The corners of Nalan Ye's lips hooked, and he said coldly: "Who does the fifth prince like?" ”

Up to now, Nangong Chen could only tell the story that was circulating in the capital, and pleaded: "Father, although the child has a marriage contract with Miss Luo Er, the world does not know, and now Miss Luo doesn't know who she offended, and she was ruined by someone who made this kind of thing, and she also brought the child with her." If the child doesn't give Miss Luo an explanation, won't her life be over? ”

"The child used to appreciate Miss Luo's appearance, but now there is this thing, so ...... I beg my father's permission. ”

Emperor Xichu frowned deeply and did not speak for a long time.

For these two young ladies from the General's Mansion, he has actually never seen them, and he can't talk about who he likes. If it weren't for the queen who appointed Miss Luo Er as the future fifth princess, he wouldn't care about the two little boudoir girls at all.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Xichu turned his head to look at Nalan Ye, who had a faint expression, and said loudly: "I don't know what Yeqing thinks?" ”

Standing up and bowing, Nalan Ye said: "The minister has no opinion on the marriage of the fifth prince. It's just that my Western Chu Kingdom puts filial piety first, and the queen mother has passed away, so it is better to follow the mother's will. ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense. ”

Nangong Chen's eyes were dark, and he almost didn't faint, but who knew that he immediately heard Nalan Ye continue to speak.

"It's just that what the fifth prince said also makes some sense, after all, Miss Luo is the daughter of a general, and it would be a pity if her reputation was ruined by gossip. Therefore, it is better to think of a foolproof solution. ”

Nangong Chen knelt on the ground, listening to it in a cold sweat, he knew that Nalan Ye held a pivotal position in his father's heart, and now that his marriage was in his hands, the feeling of powerless frustration really made him uncomfortable.

If he has the opportunity, he must control his own destiny and never be so lowly again!

Emperor Xichu smiled: "Yeqing obviously has an idea, why hide it?" Tell me about it. ”

"Since the fifth prince proposed to break the marriage contract with Miss Luo Er last time, Your Majesty will fulfill him. As for Miss Luo, although she is pitiful, she is not a concubine after all......"

Nalan Ye said lightly: "Refer to the fifth prince as a concubine, that's it." ”
