"Excuse me."

After Emperor Xingyuan spoke, he looked at the young man who got up.

The young man in the vermilion official uniform, his face was as white as jade, and there was a kind of surprise with strong colors. It's just that there is tiredness between the eyebrows and eyes today, and there is no good rest.

"Qingxiao's trip to the south is really hard."

"To do things for Your Majesty, the minister only feels honored, not hard."

Emperor Xingyuan smiled: "I see your loyalty." Qingxiao, if I'm not mistaken, you're twenty-two this year, right? ”

"Yes."

"It's been two years since I was crowned, and it's time to get married."

He Qingxiao's expression changed slightly: "The minister is busy with errands, often running around, and has no plans to marry a wife for the time being." ”

That's not right. Start a family, start a family first, then start a business. If it's all your kind of thinking, wouldn't most of the officials in Great Xia want to beat up singles? ”

Emperor Xingyuan has never been a Sven person, and his speech is rough, but it is not easy for people to refute.

He Qingxiao's heart sank, and he had a guess about the purpose of Emperor Xingyuan calling him into the palace today.

Is it to give him a marriage?

Thinking of this possibility, He Qingxiao clenched his fists, and his fingertips were cold.

"There are no elders in your family who call the shots, so I will tell you directly. I intend to marry Princess Xuan to you, what do you think? Emperor Xingyuan asked in a consultative tone, but if anyone really thought that the emperor was discussing with others, it would be too naïve.

He Qingxiao didn't answer for a while, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

On the side, Sun Yan saw He Qingxiao's reaction like this, and he had the intention of watching a good show.

Changle Hou was unwilling!

Emperor Xingyuan also saw it, and his warm smile turned flat: "Qingxiao, what do you think?" ”

The voice was much heavier at the end, and anyone could feel the pressure of the emperor's imminent wrath.

He Qingxiao naturally felt it, but no matter what kind of pressure he had, he couldn't cope with it.

If he responds, it will be unfair to Princess Xuan, and he will not be embarrassed to see Ayu again.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think that the emperor was willing to marry the princess to him, and maybe he was willing to give him a good ending. Can he ask to marry Yu?

But soon, He Qingxiao dispelled this ridiculous idea born out of greed.

Alone with Ayu, it is impossible for the emperor to agree.

"Minister-" In an almost stagnant atmosphere, He Qingxiao spoke, "The minister doesn't want to marry a wife for the time being, and he is disappointed by His Majesty's love." ”

"Give me a reason why you don't want to marry a wife." Emperor Xingyuan sank his face, "Don't prevaricate with what you just said." ”

At this point, He Qingxiao couldn't avoid it anymore, so he had to say: "The minister lost his father and mother since he was a child, and he is an unblessed person, and he has no confidence to take care of his wife and children. I would like to do things for Your Majesty wholeheartedly, and I don't think about anything else—"

"Nonsense!" Emperor Xingyuan looked angry, "It is precisely because you have no parents that you should get married as soon as possible and continue the incense of the He family." Otherwise, are you worthy of your parents under the Nine Springs? Where did you put me? ”

The more Emperor Xingyuan spoke, the more annoyed he became, this was not only the embarrassment of being rejected from marriage. Imagine that the righteous brother who fought the world together later parted ways and met each other, he was the victorious side, but the son of the righteous brother had no wife and no children, what does this make the world think?

"You have no intention of Princess Shang, and I will not force it." Saying this, Emperor Xingyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

His daughter can't even look down on him, what does this kid want to do?

"But your marriage cannot be postponed any longer. Tell me, what kind of lady do you like? Emperor Xingyuan asked angrily.

He Qingxiao was silent.

Emperor Xingyuan waited for a while, but still couldn't wait for a response, and was completely annoyed: "Changle Hou, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

He Qingxiao knelt down: "The minister has the grace of God, please give your majesty the sin." ”

"You-" Emperor Xingyuan slapped the table and said coldly, "You just stay in the Hou Mansion these days, think about whether marrying a wife is a major event in life, when you figure it out, and when you come to talk to me." ”

Sun Yan secretly raised his eyebrows.

The emperor wants Changle Hou to think about it behind closed doors.

This Changle Marquis is young, but he would rather anger the emperor than marry a wife, isn't there a problem?

"Commandment."

After He Qingxiao left, Emperor Xingyuan walked to the inner hall with his sleeves flicked his sleeves, and his stomach was angry.

Confined in the house, he wants to see how long this kid can last!

The hundred officials and nobles soon found that the Marquis of Changle, who had returned from the implementation of the new policy, not only did not receive the award, but also did not go to the government.

What's going on? Did the emperor just give Changle Hou a long vacation?

Someone pretended to visit, but was told that Changle Hou had thought about it behind closed doors and it was inconvenient to meet guests.

Now everyone is more curious, and after all kinds of inquiries, the news in the palace spread that day.

The emperor intended to choose Changlehou as a concubine for Princess Xuan, but Changlehou refused.

Changle Hou actually rejected Princess Shang!

What does Changle Hou think? Countless people have asked this question.

When the news reached the harem, many people secretly looked at the jokes of Fangning Palace.

This Princess Xuan's marriage is really difficult, and she almost married to Xilingna and other barren lands, not to mention, she finally picked a colt with outstanding appearance and identity, and was rejected by her parent Lehou.

came to Fangning Palace, and the concubines who cared about it but actually had their own thoughts came in waves. After Concubine Li dealt with it, she calmly ordered someone to call Princess Xuan over.

While waiting, the palace maid was indignant: "Those people are high and low, and they come to see the mother's jokes, it's too much!" ”

Concubine Li smiled: "What's this." ”

"Mother, you're just too forgiving."

"I'm not tolerant, I'm happy."

The palace maid showed a puzzled expression, and just as she was about to say something, Princess Xuan arrived.

"Xuan'er come and sit." Concubine Li beckoned Princess Xuan to come and sit down, looking at her daughter's expression.

Princess Xuan's face was calm, and she didn't seem to be affected by the rumors outside.

Only the palace maid was left to wait, and Concubine Li patted her daughter's hand: "Have you heard the rumors outside?" ”

Princess Xuan nodded slightly: "I heard." The mother concubine was relieved, and her daughter did not feel sad. The daughter has nothing to do with Changle Hou, and Changle Hou's refusal to marry has his own ideas, not for his daughter herself. ”

If everything is sad, you won't be able to live in this palace for a long time.

Concubine Li showed a relieved expression: "If you can think like this, the mother concubine will be relieved." The mother just said that she was happy. ”

Princess Xuan was stunned.

"Among the young people, Changle Hou is the best, your father can choose Changle Hou as a concubine for you, which means that he has the heart to choose a good husband for you, and the mother concubine can finally feel at ease."

The palace maid on the side suddenly realized.

In Xin's house, Xiaolian brought watermelon for a while, and served a cold drink for a while.

Xin Yu was dizzy by her: "Don't be busy, take a break." ”

Xiaolian came over: "Girl, long live Grandpa wants to marry Lord He, what do you think?" ”

"I'm thinking about Lord He's refusal to marry, in addition to being punished and thinking about it behind closed doors, will there be other punishments."

If you just think about it behind closed doors, you should take a good rest.

"But Lord He is going to get married sooner or later, right?" Xiaolian pointed to the key.
