Chapter 31 Proposal
However, who is Cui He, the phantom just now is only temporary, so soon, Cui He put this matter aside, turned his head and began to prepare for the matter of asking Xu Xin, the concubine of King Xu's mansion.
But obviously he has the same idea as Cui He, and he is not the only one. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is currently in the Ouchi Imperial Palace, is also thinking the same thing.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you mean to propose to King Xu's Mansion?" I only heard one person say, and when I looked up, it was actually a staff member of the Prince's Mansion.
"But why did you choose the Xu Wangfu? After all, in the capital today, there are also King Chu and King Cui, both of whom are candidates who can be allianced, why choose a King Xu who has just arrived in the capital and has an unstable foundation? ”
When the prince heard this, he smiled slightly, and said: "This naturally has my plan, King Chu looks glorious and rich, but in fact, it is the most useless, as for King Cui, hum." King Cui has too many ghost ideas, and I'm afraid that among the people like King Xu's mansion, there is Cui He. ”
"This ...... Why is that? Why did King Cui suddenly want to form an alliance with King Xu? When the staff heard the prince say this, he was not shocked.
When the prince heard the staff ask like this, he also frowned, rubbed his brows and said: "After all, we are not fools, and Cui He is not a fool, he naturally knows, so King Cui's current strength, coming to the prince and the princes to ask for good, will always arouse suspicion, but it will make a big move, but if he and King Xu are connected together, it will be a backer, and everyone wants to be attached to, not only will not be blown by the wind to break the branches, but will be invincible." ”
That staff member can be a staff member, and he is naturally a smart person, hearing the prince say this, he immediately reacted, and after reacting, he couldn't help but sigh: "Wonderful, really wonderful, that Cui He is really exquisite." ”
But after saying this, the staff also reacted to how derelict his behavior was just now, he looked at the prince's face, and then turned his mouth and said: "However, no matter how wonderful it is, it is only seen through by our Royal Highness the Prince, to put it mildly, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most wise and intelligent person in the world!" ”
The prince was actually a little happy when he heard the staff praising him like this, but he still said with a dignified and steady look on his face: "Okay, don't talk too much, I'm afraid that Cui He has already started to prepare for the marriage proposal, and you must hurry up to prepare, you must let this family matter fall on my head, not on the head of Cui He, who is alone." ”
The staff member's behavior just now was a little dereliction of duty, and now he heard that the prince was still willing to tell him to do things, so he quickly nodded and promised. In a hurry, I went to prepare for the proposal.
Hmph, Cui He, just rely on you, and you want to fight with me?
The prince pinched a piece of tissue paper fiercely, thinking viciously in his heart.
At this time, it shows the different ways of doing things for two people, Cui He thought that it was a great thing for him to find King Xu to marry, if others heard the news first, it would naturally be not good, and it would also make people gossip, so until the day he came to the door to propose, Cui He wanted to go to King Xu to propose marriage, and only the Cui family father and son knew.
But what the prince thinks is different, the prince has been held by thousands since he was born, and thousands of people have done things for him, so the news that he wants to marry has been spread almost immediately.
For almost half of the day, the entire capital already knew that the prince intended to ask for Xu Xin, the concubine of King Xu's mansion.
If it was something else, Cui He's approach would naturally be beneficial and could surprise people, but in this matter, it was the prince who took the lead first, after all, when people heard that they were going to propose to King Xu's mansion, only the prince thought of it, not Cui He, the eldest son of King Cui who was quietly doing things.
So when Cui He heard the news from his subordinates at home, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to go to King Xu's mansion as a concubine, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately broke the teacup in his hand, but after reacting, he had no other way than to slap the table in annoyance.
What's more, Cui He could only bite the bullet, and still walked to the palace step by step, and went to Xu Xin, the concubine of the Xu Palace, to ask for marriage.
Originally, Cui He thought that he was behind the prince, and it was ugly enough to pick up people's teeth, but when he arrived at the gate of King Xu's mansion, he also met another uninvited guest.
Cui He carried the dowry in his hand, stared at the opposite side angrily, and Ji Chen, who also walked over with the dowry, could be said to be so hateful that he was about to drip blood.
It's just one step behind, and he looks at the second step behind others, Cui He has always been proud, and he has never made mistakes in doing things, and now there is such a big mistake, he can't help but be a little annoyed.
"Who am I? It turned out to be the four princes today, Ji Chen, I don't know why the four princes came to the palace today? Looking at the spirit of the four princes, there must be a happy event, right? ”
Cui He saw Ji Chen coming towards him, and stood there immediately, sneering in a weird manner.
But unexpectedly, Ji Chen just raised his head and glanced at him coldly, and without saying much, he was about to raise his feet and go to Cui Wangfu, Cui He felt that he was being ignored, and he was angry at the moment, and he stepped forward to grab Ji Chen and said: "Why, the fourth prince is now going to climb the high branch of Xu Wangfu, and he actually saw that his former friends were unwilling to say a word?" ”
It's good that Cui He didn't say this, as soon as he said this, Ji Chen seemed to think of something that made people angry, and he no longer avoided it at the moment, but his eyes looked straight into Cui He's eyes, and said coldly: "We have already cut off our robes and broken our righteousness, and we are like strangers, so why bother acting here?" ”
Cui He had always been sharp-tongued, but as soon as Ji Chen said this, he seemed to have been choked by the neck all of a sudden, and he never said a word again.
It's just that in the end, Cui He has always been accustomed to pride, and after being speechless for a moment, Cui He still said toughly: "Even if it's like a stranger, then I want to ask, hasn't the fourth prince always been the most dust-free?" Why did I go to the Xu Palace's mansion today to propose marriage, and do that state of being inflammatory, could it be that what the four princes laughed at me before was false? Is it all about people? ”
It turned out that Cui He and Ji Chen were not close friends, but their friendship on weekdays was also good, Cui Heqin's calligraphy and painting were no different, and they had always been gentle and elegant, which was very deceptive, Ji Chen was deceived by Cui He's appearance from the beginning.
However, since the night of the Qianqiu banquet, Cui He hinted to Xu Lan that the prince was the murderer of his younger brother, and Xu Lan later informed Ji Chen of the matter.
When Ji Chen heard this, he was secretly frightened, when would his friend do such a thing to sow discord?
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Chen slowly remembered more unreasonable things about Cui He's body, and immediately ordered his secret guard to investigate.
In the end, Ji Chen saw the news obtained by the secret guard on the table, and he realized that his friend was not the one he saw at all, but a very spicy person who calculated people's hearts everywhere and killed people like numbness.
At this point, the relationship between Cui He and Ji Chen has slowly faded, even to the point where it is today. Meet each other head-on,-for-tat.
When Ji Chen heard Cui He say this, he didn't refute it much, after all, no matter how much he said, it was not beneficial, he just said coldly: "Cui Gongzi don't put your thoughts on others, after all, not everyone in the world is the same as Cui Gongzi." ”
After saying this, Ji Chen didn't look at Cui He's annoyed face anymore, and walked straight into King Xu's mansion.
After entering King Xu's mansion, Cui He and Ji Chen were guided by the subordinates to the living room, but King Xu had not arrived at this time, so Cui He and Ji Chen sat in the living room, slowly sipping tea, and slowly waiting for King Xu's arrival by the way.
It's just that maybe because of the quarrel at the door, all the energy has been exhausted, so when they arrived in the living room, Ji Chen and Cui He didn't say a word, both of them were quiet, and they drank the tea in their hands.
After a while, King Xu was late, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two young people sitting in the living room, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "It's the old man who is late, and the two sons have been waiting here for a long time." ”
Cui He and Ji Chen naturally wouldn't say this about themselves because of King Xu, and they also stood up and said at that time: "It's all too early, but it disturbed the prince's leisure, and I hope the prince won't blame him." ”
When King Xu heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Where did you come from to disturb and not bother, the two sons are both young and handsome young people who are talented and talented, and it is too late for me to welcome you." ”
In this way, the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and Cui He couldn't help it, and took the lead in entering the topic: "Prince Xu won't hide it from you, Xiaosheng did have something to ask for when he came to visit this time. ”
King Xu has always been a human spirit, he had already guessed most of them when he saw the two sons and the things they were carrying in his hands as soon as he entered the door, and now he saw Cui He say it straightforwardly, but he was a little refreshed, and he also had a little appreciation for him: "Oh, I don't know the little nephew, but if you have anything to say, you might as well say it." ”
Cui He finally saw King Xu like this, and he stopped twisting it at the moment, and then let his dowry be sent to King Xu, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, in fact, it is a small life, since I fell in love with Miss Xu Xin, a girl from your mansion at this year's Qianqiu banquet, so this time, I took the liberty of coming to the front door, just to propose to King Xu." ”
Cui He said the purpose straightforwardly, but King Xu was not in a hurry when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all, but he still said this: ? This, this is, thanks to Mr. Cui, your love, but my daughter is still young now, and she was not yet old enough to get married, so I married her out so early, even if I am willing, but my wife is probably not willing, my wife still wants to ask her daughter to raise her at home for a few years and then marry out. ”
