"Father, I ......" Chen Xi said with difficulty, not knowing what kind of wording could not only receive the love of his father-in-law, but also refuse his kindness. I also know that the marriage should be decided by the parents, and the original intention is to marry the two surnames, not to love oneself. But I was a fatherless and motherless person, and because of fate, I would be under my father-in-law's door, so I could enjoy the joy of family in the past few years. ”

"When Miss Du told me the allusion of the double carp jade pendant, I often thought that my parents were in love with each other so much that they must have had to have a last resort to raise me personally. I don't want to taste the pain of being separated from my loved ones in this life. ”

He leaned over and kowtowed respectfully, and said sincerely: "Father, since I met you, I have become a person with a name and a surname, and everything I have now is for you. In this life and in this life, I have never thought of disobeying you by half a point, only the matter of marriage...... Please do it! ”

With that, his back was already slightly wet. Before entering Beijing, Li Weiyu, Chen Yuantai's first adviser, had a long talk with him and told him that if he wanted to be safe and prosperous, he should put Chen Yuantai first in everything and put himself behind.

"The things of the world, only if you don't fight, you can't fight with them. As a righteous son, you don't have to go to the position where Xiao wants to be above. But be vigilant that you don't let anyone use it as a gun. Everything you have now is based on the favor you have received. If you lose the emperor's favor, you will have nothing and nothing. ”

In the study room of the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, there was silence for a while. Chen Xi had been lying on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and the big eunuch had already stood stiffly, but he didn't dare to move.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Yuantai suddenly said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you go back and think about it." After Wu Yueguo's envoy leaves, you feel that you have thought it through, and then come back to me. ”

"Yes." Chen Xi replied respectfully and slowly withdrew.

In the afternoon, Kunning Palace knew what had happened in the morning.

"The apprentice of the prince only said that the king of Jin begged the emperor to give him a marriage with the niece of the prince of Xingguo, but the emperor said that he wanted the king of Jin to marry Miss Xu San."

"And what about the end? What did the emperor say? Empress Deng sat on the big kang near the window, leaned forward, and asked anxiously.

"It was said that the emperor asked King Jin to go back and think about it, and then come to the emperor to answer when he understands it."

"Alright, you go down." The queen waved her hand and told the little palace maid to retreat.

"Gui Yue, what do you think of this?" The queen leaned on the big pillow tiredly and asked the palace maid beside her in a low voice.

Gui Yue carefully looked at the queen's expression, and her heart was quickly thinking about how to deal with it.

The queen was very angry at this time, and her original plan was to ask her nephew Deng Hong to marry Xu Yuan, and then marry her niece Deng Wenjiao to Chen Xi. In this way, their Deng family became in-laws with the two most trusted people around the emperor, which could not only consolidate the status of the prince, but also be very suitable for the prince to be in charge of the government in the future.

Chen Yuantai is good, not only did he not think of the Deng family at all, but he also directly gave Chen Xi to Xu Xing as his son-in-law, did he think that these two people were not powerful enough?

Gui Yue hesitated and said, "Niangniang, do you want to send no one to inquire why King Jin asked to marry Miss Du?" The last time Miss Deng was injured while riding a horse, it was the King of Jin who sent her to the palace. The slave maid looked at King Jin and was very considerate to Miss Deng, and it didn't seem like she was completely unintentional......"

"Chen Xi has always been very good with Xingguo Gong, maybe this matter is Xingguo Gong's idea." The queen pondered for a while and ordered, "You send two appropriate people to quietly spread this matter to Concubine De's palace." Didn't she hold back her strength and want to ask King Yu to marry Xu Yuan? Let's see if she has the ability to make the emperor change his mind! ”

"What about the emperor?" Gui Yue said, "The slave and maid look at Concubine De and Niangniang, I'm afraid that they can't say anything about moving the emperor...... What if King Jin really marries Miss Xu......"

"No matter what, he's just a righteous son." The queen waved her hand disapprovingly, "Just pass this matter on to Cining Palace." The Queen Mother can't see Chen Xi the most, a righteous son trampled King Ning and King Yu under her feet, haven't you seen that every time the Queen Mother sees Chen Xi, she hasn't even given a good face? ”

Although the palace is busy, the hearts of the people are very idle. In the harem, this kind of thing was spread from Kunning Palace to Cining Palace in less than a meal.

As soon as the Queen Mother got up from her nap, her ears were full of ears. It happened that Chen Ting came to ask for peace at this time, and she complained to him: "Chen Xi is a child of unknown origin, and your uncle wants to promote him to marry the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo!" Even if they didn't come to the capital, when they were in Shaanxi before, how could the daughter of their Xu family marry our godson! ”

When Chen Ting heard this at first glance, he felt very uncomfortable. In terms of blood kinship, how can his own nephew not be as good as Chen Xi? He originally thought that Xu Yuan was still young, and in the past two years, he would first get rid of the bad wives in the family, and then go to the queen mother's side to get a decree for marriage. If the emperor had already made up his mind, wouldn't his work be in vain?

"And Shen Yao's niece," the Queen Mother frowned, "I originally saw it and said it was a good one, why did I get involved with Chen Xi in a daze?" Someone else came to me a message from ago, saying that he wanted to marry her, but I didn't respond, so here is another one! It's even more welcoming than my family's Anping! ”

The palace maid next to her reminded with a smile: "Because you said that you want to go through Miss Du's marriage, the people of Huiningbo Mansion entrusted the princess of Wei to come to you and ask you to make the decision." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Yes, people can't remember things when they're old!" ”

Chen Ting couldn't help but say on the side: "Then it's better to ask Chen Xi to marry Miss Du, and save him from worrying about others." ”

"No way!" The Queen Mother said categorically, "Chen Xi's background, the emperor also asked him to lead the troops, he can't marry the general's family anymore!" You show me a few girls of the right age from civil official families these days, and first settle Chen Xi's affairs, and then break the emperor's thoughts. ”

"Miss Du?" Chen Ting asked.

"Just ask her to marry and go to Huiningbo Mansion!" The Queen Mother said unhappily, "Why the Shen family was raided and exterminated back then, Shen Yao knew it clearly. People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and the days of wealth and nobility have been too long, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have a big heart! His niece married a former dynasty nobleman who was not in charge, and in the future he would find a daughter-in-law who was not in charge of his mother's family, and it would be difficult for him to make any waves on his own. ”

Chen Ting listened to these words, and his heart felt slightly cold. If it fell into Shen Yao's ears, how should he feel?

"What about me?" Chen Ting brushed aside this distraction in his heart and said with a smile, "I'm your eldest grandson, you can't ignore me!" ”

The Queen Mother sighed and was about to throw the teacup in her hand towards him. "You've put my mind right! Zheng is the lady I marry you in charge, if you dare to make a mistake, you see that I won't ask your uncle to beat you to death! ”
