Hearing the Empress Dowager’s proposal, the expressions of everyone at the banquet changed.
The queen and the prince looked at each other and immediately said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, after all, it is a matter of life for the princes. Isn't this too hasty?"
The Empress Dowager pointed at the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince, and said with a smile: "The Queen asked them if they would like to grab the hydrangea?"
As soon as the words fell, the eight princes and three princes hurriedly stood up: "The queen, mother-in-law, and ministers are willing to make the empress dowager and the father smile, which can be regarded as the filial piety of the ministers."
Being able to choose your own princess is something that princes dream of.
The married prince looked like he was watching a good show.
Especially the fourth prince, he will not let go of any opportunity that can cause trouble for the prince.
The prince wanted to marry the sixth girl of the Shi family, but the sixth girl of the Shi family was unwilling. This matter had been widely circulated during this period. Based on his understanding of the prince, the prince must have wanted to use this palace banquet to finalize the matter and let Shi
The family had to submit.
Although he hates the Shi family and has no favorable impressions of the six girls of the Shi family, he does not want the prince to be tied to the Shi family.
The reason why the Liu family suppressed and dealt with the Shi family before was because they saw that Shi Dingxuan's power in the south was enough to threaten people and things in the capital, and they wanted to kill him.
Unfortunately, it failed in the end.
The fourth prince stood up with a smile: "Father, I also think that the Queen Mother's proposal is very good."
Some of the clan members who had not yet gotten married were excited and expressed that this was a good idea.
As for the officials and female relatives present, especially those whose families have girls who have been brought out of the pavilion, they can't hide their worry.
Everyone had different thoughts, but the emperor and the empress dowager didn't notice it, or they noticed it and didn't care.
The emperor thought for a while and then agreed with a smile: "Grandma Huang, this is a good idea. How many hydrangeas do you think I should throw?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Let the emperor make his own decision on this. The Ai family will just wait and watch the excitement."
The emperor glanced at the people in the hall, and after a moment of thought, he asked Liu Zhong to get three hydrangeas.
While waiting, the emperor smiled and said: "Princes and clan members who want to get a wife can grab the hydrangea. As long as the girl is willing to take the hydrangea, I will grant the marriage."
Looking at the main hall that immediately became lively, the prince could not suppress the coldness on his face.
Wei Yichen saw it and whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry. Gongsun Ming has already met the female students from the National Women's Prison. Even if he grabs the hydrangea, he will only give it to Hu Xinrui."
The prince's eyes darkened: "I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is Chu Yao. With Chu Yao's skills, it shouldn't be difficult to grab a hydrangea."
"In this case, I'm afraid it won't work for him to marry Princess Beiyan."
"And Chu Yao"
The prince looked at Chu Yao gloomily and then at Shi Fuxin, who lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
According to Chu Yao's tendency to compete with Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao in everything, his wife's family background cannot be lower than that of his first two sisters-in-law. He should look down on the Shi family.
However, he has not forgotten the scene where Chu Yao and the sixth girl from the Shi family left under the same umbrella at the polo match at Prince Gong's Mansion.
Chu Yao probably asked to marry the sixth girl of the Shi family in order to retaliate against him.
Now everyone in the capital knows that he has fallen in love with the sixth girl of the Shi family. If the sixth girl of the Shi family chooses someone else in the end, he, the prince, will lose all his face.
Wei Yichen was also a little solemn. They really couldn't control Chu Yao.
Hey, the prince should not have broken up with Chu Yao in the first place!
The prince is the prince who has been declared to the world. Even if he and Chu Yao had some conflicts in private, Chu Yao would not dare to be disrespectful to the prince openly.
It's okay now. Chu Yao is a generous person. The prince wants to seize the power in his hands. It would be strange if he doesn't fight back.
The prince: "Find a few clan members who are good at skills and are lonely, and ask them to stop Chu Yao when he grabs the embroidery ball, so that Chu Yao cannot grab the embroidery ball."
Wei Yichen nodded and immediately sent someone to go down.
The prince added: "I also want to pass a few words to King Rongjun. No father wants an uncontrollable son and allows his son to climb over him. Chu Xuan, Chu Zhao and Chu Yao have not dealt with each other since they were young.
They don’t want to see Chu Yao overpowering them."
Wei Yichen glanced at Chu Yao, with a hint of sympathy on his face, and complied.
Not long after, Eunuch Liu came back with three hydrangeas.
Thinking that it was difficult to perform in the palace, the emperor asked everyone to go outside the palace.
Outside the palace, the maids and eunuchs placed tables and chairs on the steps, and the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen sat down in sequence.
The emperor smiled and looked at the people present: "Okay, those who want to grab the hydrangea can stand to the end."
The Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince walked away without saying a word. When the other clan members saw them, they quickly followed.
When the others stepped out, everything went smoothly, but when they arrived at Chu Yao, something unexpected happened.
Prince Rongjun said loudly and calmly: "Brother Yao, not everyone can enter the gate of the palace. You must first obtain the approval of your grandparents."
This is a blatant objection to Chu Yao’s choice of wife.
Some ladies who admired Chu Yao immediately gave up the idea of marrying him.
Shi Fuxin also frowned. She knew that the relationship between Chu Yao and the people in the palace was not good, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
I openly let my son lose face. How much hatred and resentment is there.
Chu Yao looked back at Prince Rong indifferently and counterattacked mercilessly: "Father, this is a marriage granted by the emperor. Does father want to resist the decree?"
Prince Rong suddenly turned cold and said quickly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have no such intention."
The emperor looked at Prince Rong and Chu Yao, and said with a smile: "You father and son are always so at odds with each other. But I have already said what I said. If brother Yao can really grab the hydrangea, I will definitely give him a gift."
Married."
The emperor had spoken, but Prince Rong didn't want to say anything more. He glared at Chu Yao angrily and in warning.
Seeing this scene, Shi Fuxin, who was still hesitant about choosing Gongsun Ming and Chu Yao, suddenly tilted the balance in her mind to Gongsun Ming's side.
Chu Yao’s family situation is so bad!
The episode between Prince Rong and Chu Yao was over, and everyone's attention returned to grabbing the hydrangea.
The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress sat high on the steps, while the princes and relatives who wanted to grab the hydrangea stood below, and other officials and female relatives stood on the left and right sides.
In the center outside the palace, twenty or thirty young marriageable clan members eagerly stared at the hydrangea in the emperor's hand.
Eunuch Liu placed an incense burner on the table and lit an incense stick.
"Before this incense burns out, whoever has the hydrangea in his hand, I will marry him." The emperor did not hesitate, and he threw the three hydrangeas in his hand one after another.
In an instant, the scene became chaotic. In order to snatch the hydrangeas, everyone resorted to various tricks.
Chu Yao grabbed an embroidered ball almost effortlessly, and those who wanted to stop him didn't even have a chance to take action.
After that, anyone who tried to grab the hydrangea in Chu Yao's hand was kicked out by him.
No one can get close to him!
This scene surprised many people.
Everyone knows about Chu Yao’s kung fu skills, but they didn’t expect him to be so powerful.
Shi Fuxin was not surprised at all by this. She didn't look much and stared closely at Gongsun Ming, who was still fighting for the hydrangea.
When the incense was about to burn out, and seeing that Gongsun Ming had no hope of snatching the hydrangea, Shi Fuxin came to help him.
Chu Yao had been paying attention to Gongsun Ming, and his eyes flashed when he saw the hydrangea fell into Gongsun Ming's hands during the fight.
"The hydrangea grabbing game is over!"
As soon as the incense burned out, Mr. Liu shouted loudly.
At this moment, the people holding the hydrangea in their hands are Chu Yao, Gongsun Ming, and the Eighth Prince.
Those who didn't grab the hydrangea looked disappointed.
The emperor looked at Chu Yao and the others and said with a smile: "Now you can give the hydrangeas in your hands to the girl you like."
Chu Yao and Gongsun Ming both looked at the eighth prince.
In any case, the eighth prince has the highest status among the three.
The eighth prince did not give in. He took the hydrangea and went to the second girl of the Tian family in Dongshengbo Mansion and handed the hydrangea in his hand to her.
"Take it!"
"Second girl, let's catch the hydrangea."
Everyone first took a look at the emperor's face, and when they saw the emperor was smiling, they immediately started to cheer.
Miss Tian Er blushed with embarrassment when she was told this. When her parents nodded vaguely towards her, she shyly took the hydrangea.
Next it was Chu Yao and Gongsun Ming's turn.
"I'm older than you, you go first."
Faced with Chu Yao's humility, Gongsun Ming was stunned for a moment. He looked at Shi Fuxin and Hu Xinrui with the hydrangea and hesitated for a moment.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, her heart sank.
At this time, Princess Qingyang spoke: "Tomorrow, choose the girl you like. Mother hopes you are happy. If you are happy, this is the greatest filial piety to your mother."
Gongsun Ming was moved after hearing this. He looked at his mother's encouraging and expectant eyes, gave Shi Fuxin an apologetic look, and then walked towards Hu Xinrui with the hydrangea.
Seeing Gongsun Ming handing the hydrangea to Hu Xinrui's hand, Shi Fuxin immediately clenched her fists.
What, making wedding clothes for others!!!
At this time, Chu Yao had a smile in his eyes, and when everyone congratulated Gongsun Ming and Hu Xinrui, he walked towards Shi Fuxin.
"Ahem~"
As soon as Chu Yao took a step forward, Prince Rong and Duke Wei began to cough.
Without stopping, Chu Yao walked to Shi Fuxin's side.
Compared with the crowd cheering and congratulating the first two couples, everyone present became quiet when they saw Chu Yao handing the hydrangea to Shi Fuxin.
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin with a smile: "Miss Six, I grabbed this specially for you."
Looking at the hydrangea in front of her, Shi Fuxin stared at Chu Yao for a while, smiled, and took the hydrangea: "Young Master Yao, please give me your advice in the future."
