Prince Rongjun proposed to the emperor that Chu Yao marry Princess Beiyan, which not only chilled Chu Yao's heart, but also made Chu Xuan, the prince's eldest son, sneer again and again.
In the private room of Millennium Building, the prince sighed and looked at the silent Chu Xuan: "Gu's original plan was for you to take over the Supervision Department. Who would have thought that Prince Rong would actually like Chu Xuan."
Chu Xuan sneered: "In my father's heart, he only has one son, and that is Chu Zhao. If I hadn't had the pity of my grandparents, my end might have been even worse than Chu Yao's."
He fully believed that without the persistence of his grandparents, the title of Crown Prince would not have fallen to him.
The relationship between Prince Rong and Prince Rong is indeed a bit complicated, and the prince can’t say much.
Chu Xuan continued to sneer: "My father's plan is good, but unfortunately, Chu Yao may not listen to him, no, not necessarily, definitely not. That guy is full of rebellion."
As he spoke, he looked at the prince.
"Your Highness, don't think that if you invite my father, you can control Chu Yao. It's a joke that Chu Yao takes the orders of my parents."
The prince nodded and smiled: "Chu Yao has quietly been in charge of the Special Supervision Department for more than ten years. Of course I will not underestimate him, and I also understand that my father actually values him very much."
"However, compared to the truce between the two countries, Chu Yao is nothing."
"Now that the news of Chu Yao's initiative to marry Princess Beiyan has spread, in order to promote peace talks, Da Chu has to take into account the face of the Beiyan royal family. Under such circumstances, Chu Yao has to marry even if he doesn't want to marry. It's up to him whether he wants to or not.
”
Listening to these words, Chu Xuan's face did not look happy. Thinking of Chu Yao, his younger brother, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
After chatting with the prince for a while, Chu Xuan returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.
Although Prince Rong passed the title to Prince Rong a long time ago, because Prince Rong is still there, the specifications of the palace are still those of a prince.
After Chu Xuan returned to the palace, he was called to Rongxin Hall where the old prince and old princess lived.
"Grandma."
When Princess Rong saw Chu Xuan entering the room, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Xuan'er, the buyer has sent some new things over. Come and see if you like anything?"
Chu Xuan looked at the calligraphy, paintings, ornaments and other objects that the maid and mother-in-law were sorting, and randomly selected two pieces, then sat down with half interest: "Grandma asked her grandson to come over, but something happened?"
The old princess took a look at her grandson's face, waved her hand, and signaled the maids in the room to leave, and then looked at Chu Xuan: "Your father has his own reasons for wanting Zhaoer to take over the Supervision Department."<
/p>
"You will inherit the royal title in the future, but Zhao'er cannot. In this case, your father has to think more about him. You can't dislike your father because of this. Your father still values you in his heart.
”
Chu Xuan lowered his head, with a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth, and pursed his lips without responding.
He might have expected his biological father to value him when he was a child, but now he no longer cares.
When the old princess saw that her grandson was silent, she sighed: "Xuan'er, grandma knows that you are a good boy, with general knowledge and propriety. Before your father entered the palace, he discussed it with me and your grandfather."
"It is our unanimous decision to let Zhaoer take over the Supervision Department."
Chu Xuan raised his head and looked over, with confusion in his eyes: "Grandma, I don't understand. By doing this, aren't you afraid that the rift between your third brother and the family will get bigger and bigger?"
The old princess's face became a little ugly: "You and Zhao'er are both high and powerful, but Yao'er is not."
Chu Xuan didn't understand: "Why?"
The old princess sighed: "Brother Yao is rebellious. He always feels that the family has treated him badly. Look at what he does in daily life. He treats the people in the family as his enemies."
Speaking of this, the old princess's expression turned gloomy, "As soon as he took over the Supervision Department, he began to take revenge on his family. Even though he knew that Duke Wen's palace was my natal family, he still exiled Shoshiro and sent him to the army."
"If he dares to touch the banker now, he will dare to touch the palace in the future."
"Brother Yao has been a rebellious and unfilial fool since he was a child. Now he has become so hard-hearted that he doesn't even care about blood and family ties."
"The Supervision Department is another bureaucracy that offends people. Yao'er is used to being lawless. If he had been in charge of the Supervision Department, he might have caused many troubles to the palace."
The old princess looked at Chu Xuan: "Xuan'er, grandma simply made it clear to you today."
"Your grandfather and I discussed and arranged the futures of you three brothers as early as when you were born."
"You are the eldest grandson, so you will naturally inherit the title of the palace. In the future, the entire palace will be yours."
"As for Zhao'er, I used the reputation of your grandfather and your father to get a job with real power and help you."
"As for Brother Yao, as long as you two brothers are here, you can just be a wealthy and idle man."
"You and Zhao'er are both good children. From childhood to adulthood, you have grown up according to the arrangements of your grandfather and I. Something went wrong on Brother Yao's side."
"Brother Yao has almost all of his disrespect for his elders, disobedience to discipline, disobedience, and selfishness. The palace does not ask him to bring glory to him, but only asks him not to bring discredit to the palace. Thank God."
"He has only been in his prime for less than two years now. While his wings are not strong yet, the palace can still control him for a while. His marriage must be in the interest of the entire palace."
Chu Xuan expressed doubts about this. Can the government really control Chu Yao?
The old princess continued: "With Brother Yao's temperament, marrying Princess Beiyan will prevent him from having access to power. This is the best for him and the palace."
Hearing these words, Chu Xuan didn't react at all, and he didn't feel any sympathy for Chu Yao in his heart. But why did he still feel a little uncomfortable?
After coming out of Rongxin Hall, Chu Xuan frowned and returned to his yard. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the Crown Princess Luo Qilan.
The moment he saw Luo Qilan, a flash of light flashed through his mind, and Chu Xuan suddenly realized why he felt uncomfortable?
Because their lives have been arranged, and their marriages have been chosen for them by the government.
Chu Xuan stood at the door of the courtyard for more than a quarter of an hour. When he recovered his thoughts and entered the study, he looked at the palace account books on the desk and suddenly laughed out loud and whispered:
"My dear third brother, I am favored by my grandparents, and my second brother is favored by my father. Our marriage was all arranged by the palace. Where do you have the confidence to think that you can choose your own wife's family?"<
/p>
"Sister Xiahou, I have an emergency. You have to help me."
Gongsun Ming didn't leave the house often, so Shi Fuxin couldn't think of any way to get close to her, so she had to come to Xiahou Huanyan.
Xiahou Huanyan was a little surprised. She had known Shi Fuxin for so long, and this was the first time she had asked him for help: "Tell me, what's the matter? If I can help, I will definitely help."
Shi Fuxin whispered in Xiahou Huanyan's ear: "The queen wants me to enter the East Palace."
Xiahou Huanyan's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, her face full of surprise.
Shi Fuxin took her arm and stamped her feet: "I have to find myself a husband quickly before the news comes out."
Xiahou Huanyan swallowed: "What do you want me to help you with?"
Shi Fuxin: "Help me hold some banquets. I want to get close to Gongsun Ming."
Xiahou Huanyan glared again: "Are you attracted to Gongsun Ming?"
Shi Fuxin nodded: "Putting aside the status, the Wei family still stands behind the queen and the prince. Looking at the entire capital, the Gongsun family, the Dongfang family, the Liu family, and your Xiahou family can compete with them." "The Dongfang family has married the sixth prince. I have offended the Liu family. Your brothers have all married. Now the only choice is the Gongsun family."
Xiahou Huanyan was silent: "Just two days ago, my mother-in-law came to chat with me and said she wanted to go for a walk in the countryside. I will go and ask my mother-in-law to see if I can hold a polo match in the suburbs in the next two days.
I will invite more young men from distinguished families to come and see more of them."
Seeing that Xiahou Huanyan agreed, Shi Fuxin said gratefully: "Thank you."
Xia Hou smiled happily: "I'm actually very happy to be able to help you."
On April 16th, Prince Gong's Mansion held a polo match in the suburbs of Beijing. Not only did he invite many honorable disciples, but also many relatives of the emperor.
After being seriously injured by the Liu family, Shi Fuxin had a bad reputation and was criticized wherever she went. After that, the Shi family girl no longer wanted to go out with her.
Therefore, Shi Fuxin came to the polo club at Prince Gong’s Mansion alone.
With a clear purpose, Shi Fuxin didn't care at all in the face of various instructions from around her. When she saw Gongsun Ming arriving, she was thinking about how to talk to him.
Xiahou Huanyan was very considerate. When he saw Gongsun Ming choosing a horse at the stable, he took Shi Fuxin to the stable, pretending that he also wanted to choose a horse, and even made some conversation, allowing Shi Fuxin and Gongsun Ming to talk smoothly.<
/p>
When he was at the border, Shi Dingxuan worked as an errand at a horse farm. Shi Fuxin was familiar with horses and had some knowledge about horses. In terms of horse selection, she had a good conversation with Gongsun Ming.
When Xiahou Huanyan went to receive other guests, Shi Fuxin generously invited Gongsunming to form a team to play polo.
Gongsun Ming looked at Shi Fuxin, who was looking at Pan Shenfei without any pretense, and felt something clear in his heart. He seemed to understand why Fan Mingyu fell in love with the girl in front of him.
Gongsun Ming agreed with a smile and got on the horse. Seeing Shi Fuxin galloping wantonly on the polo field, his heart strings fluctuated.
The sixth girl of the Shi family is indeed dazzling enough!
"Okay!"
Shi Fuxin successfully scored a goal and just smiled at Gongsun Ming when she heard a cheer from the stands. When she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared completely.
Prince!
Why is he here?!
Shi Fuxin's good mood disappeared without a trace, but it didn't show on her face. She continued to finish the game with Gongsun Ming.
At the end of the game, when Shi Fuxin and Gongsun Ming got off their horses, the eunuch next to the prince came over.
"Miss Shiliu, the prince invites you."
Shi Fuxin said calmly: "What a coincidence, I'm tired from playing and have to go back to rest."
Such a straightforward refusal made both the eunuch and Gongsun Ming a little stunned.
The weather in late spring is always changing. Just when Shi Fuxin handed the horse rope to Manu and was about to leave, a dark cloud floated over and enveloped the polo field.
