Chapter 389: Whispering
Within a day, the news that King Kang's Mansion had added a new little prince blew through the entire Xishao Kyoto like a gust of wind, and then spread the news that Concubine Chu was killed prematurely and almost killed two corpses.
Originally, the people were very interested in the jealousy of the rich and noble's houses, and as soon as this matter came out, there were countless versions quietly circulated among the people.
The royal family has added another grandson, which is naturally a happy event for the emperor, and the upcoming marriage with South Vietnam has made his spirit much better than before.
Previously, it was mentioned in the national letter of Nanyue that he took a fancy to Jing Yan, the fourth prince who was sent to South Vietnam, and wanted to marry him, but the emperor was noncommittal about this.
He had at least three other sons to choose from, and they were the same age as Princess Ziluo, so he could choose either one. However, he also had to consider the opinions of South Vietnam, so although he summoned Jing Yan alone, he still did not make a decision.
The death of the crown prince is still a relatively big blow to the emperor, if he is still here, the emperor does not have to think too much.
But now, because of the deterioration of his health, the biggest worry in his heart now is that the prince of Xishao has not yet been established, and once something happens to him, turmoil in the court will become inevitable!
Among the remaining sons, the second is too floating, virtual and unreal, the third is stable, but the back house is too chaotic, the fourth is a little uninhibited, and the fifth and sixth are out of the ......
Ay!
The emperor sighed, thought about it, and asked Xue Ying, the great eunuch beside him, to summon Jing Yan into the palace.
Standing at the foot of the steps of the imperial study, Jing Yan's face was calm.
"Erchen has seen his father!"
The emperor glanced at him, lowered his head and glanced at the national letter of Nanyue, and said, "What else do you think about marriage?" β
Jing Yan said: "Erchen wants to marry Princess Ziluo!" β
The emperor was so angry that he said, "Isn't there anything else to say except this one?" β
That's what he said when he was called into the imperial study alone that day, and when I asked today, it was still like this, really-
Jing Yan replied without humility or arrogance: "My father is a person who wants to hear the truth, my son does not dare to deceive my father, and my son's heart to marry her is true!" β
The emperor is a little depressed!
"Your fifth and sixth brothers are also very suitable, what if the princess likes them?"
"No!" Jing Yan replied crisply.
The emperor suddenly glared at him!
"You mean, your fifth and sixth brothers are not worthy of her?"
Jing Yan didn't know why the emperor had to be more truthful, but he would definitely not give up if he should insist, so he thought about it and said: "Erchen walked with her when he went to Nanyue, and there were some feelings along the way, and Erchen felt that compared with the fifth and sixth brothers, Erchen had a closer relationship with Princess Ziluo!" β
"That's why the Emperor of Nanyue chose you?" The emperor asked.
Jing Yan was noncommittal, "This son-in-law doesn't know!" β
"Snort-you are still playing tricks in front of your father??"
Jing Yan smiled when he heard this, and said, "Father, you are the most wise and martial artist, where can I hide this little thing from you?" In fact, it was your son who fell in love with someone else's daughter and begged for it with a dead face! β
"Ahem! Ahemβ" the Emperor glared at him angrily, "can't you just speak nicely?" A dignified son doesn't even want face in order to marry a daughter-in-law? You've disgraced me!! β
"Father, if the son is thin-skinned, won't he even have a chance to ask for a lovely daughter-in-law!"
The emperor gave him a blank look and said, "Say it! What's in it for you to marry her? β
Advantage?
Jing Yan was stunned, he had never thought about this problem!
However, what the emperor wants to know is what good it will be for Xishao, right?
Thinking of this, his heart moved, waved his hand at Xue Ying, and said, "You go down, I want to whisper something to my father." β
Xue Ying twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his face to the emperor, but saw that the emperor waved his hand indifferently, and Xue Ying went out.
"Okay, can you say it now?"
Jing Yan glanced at the emperor and didn't speak, but walked to the bookcase and said, "Erchen borrowed his father's pen and used it." Naturally, he didn't go to take the royal pen that was folded, but took a very ordinary purple jade wolf, dipped it in some water, and quickly wrote a few words on the bookcase.
The emperor was taken aback after reading that sentence!
"Really??"
Jing Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's true! It's just-" He waved his hand, and the words written in the water were quickly wiped away by him without leaving a trace, "Father, you must keep it secret!" β
A glimmer of light burst out of the emperor's eyes!
"In that case...... the emperor was very excited, but he didn't continue to speak, but subconsciously raised his hand and stroked a few strands of beard and nodded frequently!
If that's the case, that's great!
Jing Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said respectfully: "Father is wise!" β
The emperor came back to his senses and was not angry, but scolded with a smile: "You are a monkey spirit!" That's it, it's up to you! I will make an order in a while, and at the same time write a letter of sealing to South Vietnam! β
Jing Yan couldn't hide the joy between his eyebrows when he heard this!
"Thank you, Father!! Thank you, Father!! Father, you are really the most beloved and good father of my son......"
The emperor looked at his sycophant appearance, and suddenly became a little depressed: "Hurry up, get out!" β
As the saying goes, if you marry a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother, how unhappy is his behavior of pleasing his father in order to marry his daughter-in-law!
"The retainers obey!"
Jing Yan walked out of the imperial study in a happy mood, but after walking outside, he quickly reined in, pretending to be bland, and was stunned that no one could see his joy!
When he returned to the mansion, he quickly wrote a letter to Chu Peijin, mentioning what happened in King Kang's mansion by the way.
From the issuance of the letter of state to the engagement, the six ceremonies, and then to the marriage......
Just thinking about how long they hadn't seen each other, Jing Yan felt aggrieved!
However, for them, this is already the best outcome, so now it is enough to wait patiently for happiness to come!
At this moment, the night soul suddenly appeared and said, "Master, there is important news!" β
After speaking, he put a stack of materials on top of Jing Yan's bookcase.
Jing Yan glanced at him, then picked up the information and quickly looked at it at a glance, and when he saw that at the end, the corners of his good-looking lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled: "She really knows a lot!" β
Night Soul asked a little puzzled, "Master, how much can she know about an inner house girl?" Why does Ye have to focus on her? β
Jing Yan glanced at him and said, "You won't understand it if you say it, so you should treat her as if she knows the art of unpredictable prophets!" After speaking, he instructed the night soul and said, "From now on, you send someone to keep an eye on her, once she makes any moves, or the third child has any actions, you must get things done in advance before them, understand?" β
Night Soul twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Master, do you mean that they want to win over someone, let's win them over first?" Who do they want to see, and we will intercept him first? β
Jing Yan praised: "What smart! β
Night Soul twitched the corners of his mouth again and said, "My subordinates understand!" β
This trick is really bad, but it's quite interesting!
