174. Make up your mind

Hearing the disdain in his brother's tone, Tang Yan pulled it back. He was so blinded by lard that he couldn't even see the meaning of the purse. The so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, and the purse is worthless, but the heart of the Cuihua girl is worth a thousand gold. He knows a fart!

Tang Fan saw that he carefully hung his purse on his waist like a baby, and knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly poured wine to make amends.

Tang Yan didn't bother to bother with him, he just liked the third princess to marry her, and he had nothing to say.

"I really envy my brother's graceful and suave, but my father has proposed to the current queen mother, if both of our brothers refuse, I'm afraid the whole family's head will not be protected, I, as an elder brother, will reluctantly marry the princess!" Tang Fan looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and seemed to have become a hero of the whole family.

Tang Yan sneered and continued to drink quietly. He doesn't like princesses, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like power. If the princess was his sister-in-law and would benefit him without any harm, he would naturally have no complaints.

The Tang Fan brothers are like this, they seem to be intimate, but in fact they are intrigued and will not be honest with each other. And Meng Shi was still complacent about her ingenuity, she thought that her surprise move would definitely reverse her position in Houfu, but she didn't want to end up rejoicing in the bamboo basket.

"Mother, since the second brother is unwilling to marry the princess, I, the elder brother, can't postpone it any longer, otherwise the government and the opposition will criticize our Hou Mansion, saying that we have no one in our eyes and despise the king."

In the main hall, Tang Fan took his mother Meng's hand and slowly opened his mouth.

His statement of leaving no trace not only hides his ambition, but also makes Meng feel that he is well-behaved and sensible, and he prefers him more in his heart. I have to say that Tang Fan is indeed smarter than Tang Yan.

Meng Shi looked at his son with tears in his eyes, glad that he had worked hard and finally survived the day when their brother got ahead. She took her son's hand and said through gritted teeth.

"When I married your father, although I was also married by Ming Media, I was a concubine after all, and my status in this family was far inferior to Tang Muchen's mother. Now Tang Muchen is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and even his brother-in-law dares to show off his power in front of me, do you think I can swallow this breath? ”

Tang Fan nodded, expressing his understanding of his mother, she has worked hard for so many years, and she will definitely take good care of her in the future.

"Alas!" Meng clapped his hand and sighed heavily.

"It's just that your brother doesn't learn and likes to look for flowers and ask willows, my mother can't count on it, and only you are the hope of my mother, you can't let your mother down!"

Tang Fan nodded again and again, saying that he would definitely marry the princess and become the master of the horse, so that Tang Muchen and Su Xiaoqian would grovel to him.

Seeing that his son was confident, Meng laughed heartily. She knew it would work.

Tang Fan had already made up his mind, and when he became the master of the horse, he would definitely ask the princess to propose to the emperor and give him a half-official position. As long as you have the emperor's favor, are you still afraid that you won't be able to fight Tang Muchen?

Here, Xiao Yu stared at the candle flame for a long time. She was irritable and didn't want to rest, so she pulled Birou to talk to her.

"Princess, rest for the time being, and I'll deliver the letter as soon as it dawns tomorrow, okay?" Birou yawned and said listlessly.

It was late at night, and the princess still refused to sleep, so tired and sleepy that she felt that her whole body was tired and fell apart.

"No, I'm sad. You say, is the Queen Mother old and confused? Xiao Yu said angrily lying on the table.

Her words frightened Birou and she instantly fell asleep. She stared at the princess in disbelief with wide eyes, unable to believe that she had said this.

"Princess." She looked around, pulled Xiao Yu's wide sleeves uneasily, and motioned to her to be quiet, it would be bad to be heard.

"She actually listened to the old marquis's words and was impatient to marry me off, without even asking me. You say, she's not an old fool, what else can she be? Xiao Yu continued to talk to herself as if she hadn't heard it.

"Yu'er, who do you say is old and confused?" Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded behind him.

Xiao Yu and Birou turned their heads in fright when they heard the voice, and they didn't care about it, and the whole person was frightened. The person who came was none other than his father, the Emperor, who is now a saint.

"Father, you, why are you here?" Xiao Yu was nervously speechless. She stood there helplessly, neither sitting nor standing.

It's getting late, why hasn't my father rested yet? How did he walk in quietly just now, why didn't he even report to anyone.

The emperor saw that Xiao Yu was very nervous, and he no longer scared her, and sat down on the stool himself.

"I can't sleep, so I go out for a walk at will, pass by your princess's palace, and see that the light is still on, so I come in and have a look. As a result, I heard you say there that the Queen Mother was confused. ”

Saying this, he couldn't help but laugh. In the entire palace, she is the only one who dares to say this about her imperial mother, and if she changes someone else, she has died seven or eight times ago. If you say such a big rebellion, let alone the palace, who would dare to speak so wildly even if you are the whole world?

"Father's forgiveness, I was also fascinated for a while, so I said such a bastard thing." Xiao Yu saw that the emperor's face was normal, and knew that he was not pursuing it, so he quickly picked up an osmanthus from the plate and handed it to the emperor.

"Father and emperor taste it, and my daughter made it with her own hands today."

When the emperor saw her delicate daughter, the anger in his heart disappeared. The eldest daughter Xiao Yunyuan married in another country, if the younger daughter was separated from herself again, wouldn't he, the father, be too much of a failure.

"Well, that's good." The emperor took a bite and nodded repeatedly. This osmanthus cake melts in the mouth, and it is sweet but not greasy, it is really delicious.

Hearing his father's praise, Xiao Yu lowered his head a little shyly.

"Come, tell my father, why is my Yu'er unwilling to marry?" After eating the pastry, the emperor took his daughter's hand and asked in a calm tone.

Now he is no longer a sacrosanct king, but a loving father who loves his daughter.

"I ......" Xiao Yu stopped talking, his big watery eyes glanced at his father quickly, and then dodged away.

"Dare to say, I forgive you not guilty!" The emperor knew what she was worried about, and hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"I don't want to marry Houfu, I want to marry someone I love in my heart." Xiao Yu had no worries and boldly revealed his mind.

The emperor didn't speak, he didn't retort angrily, nor nodded in agreement, but after thinking for a while, he asked who the person was.

People say that knowing a daughter is better than a father, and it is true......
