Chapter 239: Marriage

"The third prince has a good character, and he is also very respected by the people in disaster relief this time, but now that His Royal Highness the third prince is about to reach the crown, it is better to settle the marriage. Men stand up to the sky, so naturally they want to start a family first, and then start a business. Therefore, the emperor and the minister asked for a marriage to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. What Duan Cheng said was conclusive, but it surprised the courtiers.

If this was Nan Xuanyu, maybe everyone wouldn't have reacted like this. No matter how you say that Nan Xuanyu is older than Nan Xuanjue, Uncle Guo's words naturally caused an uproar in the court.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Duan Cheng, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

In addition to the noisy voices of the ministers, there was a voice of questioning. Du Zihuan's faction was naturally quiet, wanting to see what Duan Cheng wanted to do.

The emperor naturally didn't make a sound, just quietly watched the reactions of the courtiers, and his heart was naturally like a mirror, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Nan Xuanyu naturally does not have the calmness of the emperor, and his current feelings for Ji Yueqin are no longer the purest liking at the beginning, but mixed with possessiveness and ...... for Nan Xuanjue Enmity.

Although they are brothers, sometimes it is difficult to explain clearly when it comes to women.

After some commotion, the courtiers saw that the emperor was silent, and gradually lost their voices.

Duan Cheng's back was already wet with cold sweat, he knew that it was risky to do so, and now the queen didn't know about it, it was purely a halfway kill to bite the gold, which surprised everyone for a while.

"Your Majesty?" Duan Cheng opened his mouth and called out, looking at the emperor suspiciously.

The emperor looked at Duan Cheng with his head propped up, but he didn't take this matter seriously, "Yu'er hasn't gotten married yet, and his younger brother can't get married earlier than him." Zu Xun is on the table, I don't know why Uncle Guo brought up this matter, could it be that he wanted to urge Yu'er to get married. ”

Duan Cheng was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to say what he thought in his heart so directly, but if this is the case, I am afraid that the emperor will do the opposite, if Ji Yueqin is promised to Nan Xuanyu, it will really be a problem, and it will be a big thing!

But will the emperor really let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marry Duan Zhilan so smoothly? After all, as long as Nan Xuanyu marries Duan Zhilan, it will only make the Duan family more powerful, and in a certain way, this will only fuel the arrogance of the Duan family, and the emperor should not agree to the marriage of the two of them.

Although the queen swore that Duan Zhilan would become Nan Xuanyu's concubine, I don't know what she would do, I'm afraid that now she has ruined the queen's affairs.

Countless thoughts flashed through Duan Cheng's mind, and the more he thought about it, the paler his face became, he didn't know if it was bad for his sister now, and he began to regret it a little, why did he suddenly do these things.

"Why didn't Uncle Guo say anything? Didn't you ask me to marry Jue'er? The emperor looked at Duan Cheng, and his smile was a little mysterious.

Now Duan Cheng really doesn't know what to say, now that the queen's plan has been disrupted, if it causes irreparable consequences, I'm afraid that he, who is an elder brother, will also be taught a lesson by the queen.

It's just a lesson, but I'm afraid of the consequences, which is not something he can accept.

"Your Majesty....... His Royal Highness the Prince's marriage, how can the minister be the master? Duan Cheng was hesitant, and in the end he didn't plan to interfere with the queen's plan, so he had to say embarrassedly.

"It's okay, but I have a candidate in mind." The emperor smiled and looked directly at Duan Cheng.

It's over, Duan Cheng immediately became a little flustered, according to the emperor's love for Ji Yueqin, Duan Cheng felt that the next moment, what came out of the emperor's mouth was probably to say that the person in his heart was Ji Yueqin.

But after all, Duan Cheng has also stood in this kind of power center for so many years, and he is naturally a scheming fox, although he is thinking crankily in his head, but how to say it, on the surface, he still looks calm as water.

"Oh? The emperor has taken a fancy to someone's girl, which can be regarded as the emperor's grace. Duan Chengpi said to the emperor with a smile.

The emperor smiled like a fox, looked at Duan Cheng directly, and said jokingly: "Lord Duan's daughter, Duan Zhilan." ”

When Duan Cheng heard what the emperor said, his mind suddenly became blank like a thunderbolt from a sunny day.

Emperor...... You just talked about Zhilan, right? Wait, the emperor is talking about Zhilan!

Duan Cheng looked at the emperor in a daze, and the court once again caused an uproar.

"Your Majesty, you're not making the courtiers happy, are you?" Duan Cheng was a little puzzled, and he could no longer maintain the appearance of smiling on his face.

When the emperor heard Duan Cheng's words, he became upright, "You have no jokes." I think Zhilan's girl is good, although she is a little frizzy, but she can also be called virtuous and virtuous. If you become the crown princess in the future, you have to work harder. ”

Nan Xuanyu didn't expect his father to say such a thing, and when he thought that he was going to marry Duan Zhilan, his mind became blank. Although he is not so reluctant to marry Duan Zhilan now, it's just that the concubine he wants is only worthy of Ji Yueqin.

So Nan Xuanyu's brain was hot, so he knelt down towards the emperor in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the court.

"Please take back your father's order." Nan Xuanyu's voice trembled a little, he knew that doing this might make the queen mother angry, but for the sake of his own thoughts, he still did it.

The court became deathly silent, and no one spoke, just quietly looked at Nan Xuanyu who was kneeling in the middle.

Duan Cheng's face turned from white to black, and he hadn't yet eased up from the joy and shock just now, and now when he heard such words, he felt very annoyed now, were these two fathers and sons playing with themselves?

"Yu'er, I'm not discussing this matter with you, I'm giving you a marriage." The emperor looked at Nan Xuanyu without a smile on his face.

Nan Xuanyu knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, and it was okay to marry Duan Zhilan, but he didn't want Duan Zhilan to be his concubine.

But Duan Zhilan's identity is there, and it is impossible to be Nan Xuanyu's side concubine, so no matter what, no matter how much he says, it is useless.

"Erchen...... Got it. Nan Xuanyu didn't know what he thought of in his heart, raised his head to look at the emperor, and said loudly: "Erchen already has someone he likes." ”

The emperor doesn't need to think about it to know who Nan Xuanyu likes is, his sons are very similar to himself, and even the women he likes are almost the same. There are too many similarities between Ji Yueqin and Duan Rou, and sometimes, he himself sees Ji Yueqin as Rou'er.

The emperor didn't say anything, but Nan Xuanyu still said it, "Erchen, I like the county lord of Anning." ”
