Chapter 32: Xu Lan

Ji Chen, who was next to him, saw that Cui He was so straightforward and said his destination happily, but he looked at him a few more times.

However, he heard that it was Prince Xu's side that played Tai Chi, and he also knew it, and he thought that King Xu also knew that the prince and Cui He both had the idea of Xu Xin, the eldest lady of the Cui family, so this was also the idea of waiting for the price to sell.

Of course, Cui He's exquisite mind saw King Xu's purpose, but he was not annoyed, after all, he had no plan from the beginning, and immediately married the eldest lady of the Xu family home, after all, this is a piece of fragrant bread, and there are more than one or two people thinking about it.

So he didn't get angry when he heard King Xu playing Tai Chi this time, but said with a smile: "In this case, it's really a small life, I'm abrupt, but it doesn't matter, the eldest lady still wants to stay at home for a few years, this is also human nature, I can understand everything, but I can continue to wait for the eldest lady, and wait for her until the day she gets married, and ask King Xu, but you want to be next to Princess Xu from time to time to say a few more kind words for me." ”

Seeing that Cui He didn't entangle the cycle too much, King Xu was naturally happy in his heart, and said with a smile at the moment: "That's natural, to be honest, Cui Xian's nephew is a cousin, the talent Yushu is in the wind, I have a special idea of you, it's just that I am the insider, the woman always looks shorter, always thinks about her daughter, and stays by her side longer." ”

When Cui He heard this, he was noncommittal, and still smiled gently.

Ji Chen saw the two of them singing a big drama there, slowly drank the tea in his cup, greeted King Xu opposite, cast a questioning look, and handed out his dowry, but what he said shocked everyone present.

"Lord Xu, I came today, I have nothing to ask for, I just want to ask you for Prince Xu, your second girl Xu Lan."

Hearing this, first of all, Cui He was taken aback, he originally thought that Ji Chen came to propose marriage today, Xu Xin, the daughter of the Xu family, but he didn't expect that the person he proposed was the concubine of the Xu family, Xu Lan.

Besides, Cui He also heard a few days ago that Xu Lan had a big fight with Chu Wan because she angered the eldest lady of the Chu family, because of this incident, King Xu was also very angry, and now Xu Lan is still under house arrest in her own courtyard, it can almost be said that she was given up by King Xu, how could this Ji Chen be so stupid, suddenly come and beg Xu Lan, is there another secret in this?

And the rest of King Xu was even more surprised, after all, he originally thought that everyone today was only asking to marry his concubine Xu Xin, but unexpectedly, there were still people who remembered her concubine Xu Lan.

So King Xu stammered a little: "This ...... How is this good, my second girl has always rarely seen people, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble with you with the fourth prince. ”

When Ji Chen heard this, he didn't seem to care, and still said slowly: "What's the matter? Xu Lan and I also fell in love at first sight, and we paid attention to each other by heart, so I came to propose marriage today, and I came prepared, if it wasn't for Princess Xu, would I have to keep Xu Lan by my side for a few more years? However, after I heard that Xu Lan is not Princess Xu's biological daughter, she is just a concubine. ”

When King Xu heard Ji Chen say this, he choked for a moment, but he reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Fourth prince, I'm afraid you don't know, although my second girl Xu Lan is said to be a concubine, but she has been raised under Princess Xu's knees since she was a child, and her relationship with Princess Xu has always been deep, but now Princess Xu is seriously ill, and his two daughters are reluctant to marry immediately, so they can only reject the proposal of the fourth prince." ”

Ji Chen heard this, and finally frowned, revealing the first dissatisfied expression today, he originally wanted to say more, but when King Xu saw this situation, he already knew that things had exceeded his expectations, and quickly stood up and said: "Oh, look at my memory, I actually forgot an extremely important thing, a few days ago, the imperial brother asked me to prepare to sort out the information on the border, I haven't presented it to the imperial brother, today it is close to noon, the imperial brother must be sober, come over, I won't keep two sons. ”

This time, King Xu has even issued an order to expel guests, even if Ji Chen and Cui He are unwilling, they can't force them to stay, but they will leave a bad impression on King Xu, and they can only stand up at the moment, arch their fists and thank them and leave.

As soon as Cui He walked out of the gate of King Xu's mansion, he immediately turned his head and asked Ji Chen, "What do you mean by this?" Why didn't the concubine of the good Xu Wangfu marry, but instead marry a concubine? ”

It's just that Ji Chen was very unhappy because Xu Wangye had rejected his proposal just now, and when he saw Cui He's aggressive appearance, he was also angry at the moment, and said coldly: "This is my family matter, what does it have to do with Cui Gongzi?" Cui Gongzi has been questioning me here, it is better to think about what to do, who marries the daughter of Xu Wangfu, and cling to Xu Wangfu! ”

When Cui He heard Ji Chen say this, he was immediately furious, and said fiercely: "What about climbing? When you come to ask for a marriage today, do you mean that there is no intention of clinging? If you don't have the heart to climb, how can you come to Xu Wangfu to ask for marriage, besides, I am a concubine, you came to ask for marriage, but it is just a concubine, and it was also rejected, who is more ashamed of the two of us? ”

When Ji Chen heard this, he sneered and said: "I failed to marry Xu Lan today, it's just that King Xu also has a mood to be sold at a price, and Xu Lan has indeed lost weight in the past few days and is seriously ill, how can it be like Cui Gongzi You, a concubine who is asking to marry is not good, you are staring alone, and the most important Prince His Royal Highness is also staring at it, I don't know if King Cui has the ability to rob people with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, I still have some hope, but Cui Gongzi you, I advise you to change another goal, For example, in the Chu Wangfu, the only concubine, Chu Wantian, I look at Cui Gongzi, you have a place. After saying this, Ji Chen didn't want to pay attention to the yin and yang weird Cui He anymore, so he immediately threw up his sleeves and left, leaving Cui He alone in the angry jump.

It's just that the two sons on this side are angry and don't mention it, and King Xu, who stayed in King Xu's mansion, did think about it differently.

Let's talk about Cui He's proposal first, in fact, King Xu made up his mind at the beginning, no matter who came to propose to Xu Xin, he would refuse it, saying that he was waiting for the price and selling, or sitting on the ground to start the price, King Xu always knew in his heart that Xu Xin was also a big hole card of his own, and he couldn't easily deliver it to others, whether it was the prince, the prince or the prince, he needed to take a good look to see if the other party could be a qualified ally.

However, these are all within the scope of his expectations, and there will definitely be many people who will come to ask his eldest daughter for marriage, but the fourth prince came to ask Xu Lan for marriage today, if he was shocked.

There is no other reason, after all, he didn't stop Xu Lan when he punished him, almost all of the capital can be known, and Xu Lan is a concubine, a mother, and an extraordinary status, there is no mother's family to rely on, King Xu also thought about it for a long time, and I really don't know why the fourth prince would be like Xu Lan to propose, but because she proposed, because I rejected Xu Xin's marriage, if I agreed to Xu Lan's marriage, of course, outsiders think that he, the prince, is selling his daughter at a price, and his face is even more ugly. And it will also affect Xu Xin's reputation.

Therefore, although King Xu said that he had no feelings for Xu Lan, he would not marry her off immediately, so he rejected the request of the fourth prince.

It's just that King Xu pondered for a moment, and someone was willing to come to the door to beg Xu Lan, so it showed that Xu Lan still had a little value, and his own was not good, so he gave him up in anger.

When thinking of this, King Xu suddenly remembered that it was said that after Xu Lan recovered from her illness, her body was still a little weak, so he thought that it would be better to go and see Xu Lan and ease their relationship.

As soon as he said to go, King Xu made up his mind and immediately raised his feet and walked towards Xu Lan's courtyard.

King Xu came to Xu Lan's courtyard, and when he was outside the courtyard, he found that Xu Lan's courtyard was not as lifeless as previously said, but extraordinarily vibrant, with another chic.

Then this kind of chic, when King Xu walked into the courtyard, he saw that all the maids were working in an orderly manner, but the expression on his face was unstoppable harmony and joy, and Xu Lan held an embroidery, sat under the eaves, bowed his head and was silent, which was particularly beautiful and lovely.

To tell the truth, seeing Xu Lan like this, there was no resentment in her heart, and she was not slumped, and King Xu's heart was still a little happy.

After all, this is his daughter, although she said that she was punished, but she also has a family affection for him, and she doesn't resent him, after all, even if she is a person who has done all kinds of bad things, she doesn't want her daughter to be disgusted with herself.

So at this moment, King Xu is this kind of complicated feelings, on the one hand, he has given up his daughter in his heart, feeling that he is a troublemaker, and his mother is very weak, so there is no use value at all, but on the other hand, he hopes that his daughter can have no regrets, never hate him, regard him as a father wholeheartedly, and be filial, and in this regard, Xu Lan's feelings and actions can be said to make King Xu feel very satisfied.

So that's it, with an unknown mind, as soon as King Xu entered Xu Lan's courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with his daughter, and he no longer disliked his previous nonsense, and in a blink of an eye, he had a fatherly face.
