In the Queen's Yongning Palace, Duan Yan was discussing with Liu Duan how to settle Liu Kuan's marriage quickly. The Queen sighed again and again, and the entire Yongning Palace was enveloped in a pessimistic atmosphere.
"Madam, from what I can see, the Sixth Prince has different persistence and opinions from other princes. If you try hard, I'm afraid it will have little effect or even have the opposite effect."
"What Mr. Duan said is absolutely true, but if I delay it any longer, my position will be shaken. Yesterday, while chatting with me, the Emperor revealed that he wanted to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor. If he doesn't grasp it in a short time,
The absolute advantage may change." The queen said worriedly.
"Your Majesty has thought it through very carefully, but... Wei Chen still feels that it is inappropriate to use this method in this matter."
"There is nothing wrong. Everything was my idea. If Liu'er wants to blame you, I will support you. Go and prepare..."
"Wei Chen... obey the order."
"Step back. Xiao Linzi, please invite the Sixth Prince to come to Yongning Palace!"
"Yes, empress."
When Duan Yan stepped out of Luo Li Pavilion, he felt that his feet were filled with heavy lead and he could not move forward. Presiding over the marriage of the royal prince was really not an easy job. If there had been another master like the Sixth Prince, he would have been in trouble long ago.
It's going to kill him.
Alas, the fleeting year is unlucky...
"Master Duan's brows are furrowed and his hall is dark. He must be worried about the country for our Sixth Master's marriage," said the eunuch Xiao Linzi who went out with him.
"My father-in-law has really sharp eyes. Alas, to be honest with my father-in-law, after finishing the wedding of the sixth prince, Duan plans to return to his hometown."
"Oh? The Queen has always attached great importance to important people. She often said that if the Sixth Master's wedding goes smoothly, she must put in a good word in front of the Emperor so that you can be promoted to a higher rank."
"Thank you for your kindness, but Duan has an ominous premonition. Even if the Sixth Prince and the Princess enter the bridal chamber smoothly, it may not be smooth sailing. I'm afraid something earth-shattering may happen."
"Your Majesty's words are not unreasonable. The Sixth Master has a fierce temper. I'm afraid the Queen will not be able to control this marriage..."
After the court, as soon as Liu Hao walked out of the hall, Xiao Linzi, who was beside the queen, came up to him. On the queen's order, he had been waiting outside the hall for two hours.
"Sixth Master, Xiao Linzi would like to greet you. The Queen would like to ask you to visit Yongning Palace."
"Do you know what it is?"
"Back to the Sixth Master, I don't know. The empress only said that the Sixth Master must come to Yongning Palace when he goes to court. I miss him a little."
Liu Hao looked at the place where the imperial performance was held yesterday, and then walked in the direction of Yongning Palace.
When we arrived, the Queen was leaning on the phoenix and reading a book.
"My son, I send my regards to my mother."
"Here you go, sit down."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"What did the superior say today?"
"My father said that he would hold a provincial examination to select the most talented people, and let his son serve as the examiner."
"The triennial provincial examination was suspended last time because of the war. Your father has already felt that there are fewer and fewer talented people in the court. This provincial examination must be paid special attention to."
"My son, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"I asked you to come here today because I want to discuss a few issues with you. I just read a book and saw that 'Fuwei Holy Dynasty governs the world with filial piety'. This is how the government is governed, so the rules at home should be the same. What do you think?"
"Er Chen believes that filial piety is what a son should do, but filial piety cannot be 'foolish filial piety'. For example, if the father tells his son to die, but the son does not perish, the son is unfilial." Er Chen thinks this is 'foolish filial piety'.
"
"What about the important matter of marriage and the parents' order to find a matchmaker? What does Hao'er think of it?"
"Mother, I have no opinion on this issue, because I don't want to marry a wife."
"You!...You really want to make me angry to death."
"Mother, I have to prepare for the provincial examination. Please leave."
Liu Huang left Yongning Palace, not caring whether his son and mother were so angry that his head and chest hurt. When he returned to Jingyang Palace, he saw Zhao Nan wandering at the entrance of the palace.
"What happened?"
"Sixth Master, you are back. For some reason, the emperor wanted to give a reward to the first place winner of yesterday's performance in front of the emperor, but he asked Eunuch Lu to carry it to Jingyang Palace, saying it was the emperor's will."
