"Haha, my little sister is right... But after all, this is a matter between young children. It depends on them."
As he spoke, Sun Wuji said with emotion, if Muchuan and Princess Fangxue can succeed, it will be a good thing for the royal family, the court, and the country!
At least in the future, Muchuan will be able to avoid many catastrophes as the "Prince-in-law" and gain a foothold in the court. Otherwise, those who are jealous of him will sooner or later kill him.
As for Muchuan himself, where is he now?
After the palace banquet, he was drunk and was being helped by several eunuchs into a palace courtyard to rest.
Also traveling with them were Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu. Compared with Muchuan, Ouyang Bufan and the other two seemed very sober and not much drunk.
At this time, when the eunuchs helped Muchuan to the bed, they looked at Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu. After all, the eunuchs' responsibility was to safely send the three adults from the household department to another courtyard to have a good rest.
"You go ahead, don't worry about us two. We have something to talk to Mr. Muchuan when we stay."
Ouyang Bufan said with a smile.
Of course the eunuchs were confused. Muchuan was so drunk that he was still conscious. Even if he wanted to talk to Muchuan, he wouldn't be able to say anything, right?
But since Ouyang Bufan has spoken like this, these low-status eunuchs have nothing to say, so they retreat.
After the eunuchs left, the wing was silent and the candlelight flickered.
Ouyang Bufan, who was sitting on the round chair, coughed and said: "Sir, Lord Muchuan... those father-in-laws have already left, wake up!"
Muchuan, who was lying on the bed, was still drunk. After hearing Ouyang Bufan's figure, Muchuan's body bounced up like a spring.
"have they gone?
It would be great!"
That’s right! Muchuan was pretending to be drunk. If he hadn’t pretended to be drunk, he would have been desperately persuaded to drink by all the civil and military officials, and he would have been so drunk that he would not be able to get up until noon the next day.
So the culture of persuading people to drink is not good, but this culture will continue to exist in the next thousand years, and it will even cause a lot of trouble!
After Muchuan rubbed his head, he got up and drank a few gulps of water. Then he asked, "How are you doing? Do you know what will happen?"
"Sir, we have already found out, hehe..." When Ouyang Bufan spoke, there was a joking smile on his face.
It can be seen from this that the worst result has indeed occurred, and the emperor is indeed going to grant a marriage!
In fact, after Li Shimin talked to Muchuan, Muchuan secretly took a liking to him, so when he was drinking and having fun with the officials, he asked Ouyang Bufan to talk to see if he could find out anything.
After this investigation, after questioning Li Shimin's internal affairs ministers, it became clear that Li Shimin wanted to arrange for "Princess Fangxue" to marry Muchuan.
In ancient times, life-long events were determined by "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers." If there is a rule that is more effective than this, it should be "the order of the emperor."
If the emperor issues an edict, everyone in the world must obey it, otherwise it will be rebellion and the entire clan will be implicated.
As for Princess Fangxue, who is she?
According to Mo Zhu, this woman is not Li Shimin's biological daughter, but the daughter of Empress Changsun's cousin.
Because Princess Fangxue's biological parents died at an early age, she was lonely and helpless, so she was adopted by the distantly related Empress Changsun. Later, Li Shimin issued an edict and named her "Princess Fangxue", thus receiving the same rights and treatment as other princesses.
"Princess Fangxue is very different from other princesses. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and song. She is very smart, knowledgeable in politics and business, and has amazing talent, learning, and virtue. She is truly a model princess!"
As Mo Zhu spoke, he praised her, saying that if it were Princess Fangxue, she would definitely be a match for Muchuan.
Ouyang Bufan also looked envious. You must know that although Princess Fangxue is not the biological daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, they treat her as their own, and even enjoy some benefits in life that are better than those of other princesses.
With high standards, if you can marry her, you will definitely have a prosperous official career and rise to the top.
"Lord Muchuan, you have made a lot of money this time!"
Ouyang Bufan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Muchuan rolled his eyes. What does it mean to make a lot of money?
He didn’t feel that he had earned anything!
As a modern person, Muchuan couldn't accept the kind of life-long decision made privately without ever meeting each other. Although Princess Fangxue sounded good, he still couldn't accept it.
Besides, Muchuan already has someone in his heart. His heart is very small and cannot accommodate many people, so naturally there is no room for Princess Fangxue.
"You have to find a way to refuse this..." Muchuan murmured to himself.
Hearing what Muchuan said, Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu were shocked. Why did such a good person refuse?
After understanding Muchuan's reason, Ouyang Bufan said with a look of hatred: "Sir, you are such an idiot! This has nothing to do with whether you like Xiner or not, right?"
Mo Zhu: "Yes, sir, you like Xin'er, but you can also marry Princess Fangxue! What's wrong with a man having three wives and four concubines?"
Muchuan was shocked when he heard what Ouyang Bufan said. Three wives and four concubines would definitely not work!
At this moment, Muchuan realized how different his thinking was from that of the ancients. After all, modern times advocate monogamy, and true love is eternal and will last until death.
In ancient times, there was no such saying. When a man was capable enough, let alone three wives and four concubines, even a harem of three thousand would be no problem.
Well, Muchuan has no intention of explaining this issue to Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu. Once an idea is formed, it is not so easy to change.
Suoran Muchuan said directly: "In short, I cannot marry Princess Fangxue. You two can help me think of a way to reject this marriage."
At that moment, Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu looked at each other in confusion. They expressed their incomprehension, and besides, it was not that easy to say no.
Ouyang Bufan: "My lord...since your majesty has made a decision, I'm afraid you will have to act in accordance with the edict once it is issued tomorrow."
Mo Zhu: "It is not that there is no solution. If His Majesty knows that Sir Muchuan has disqualified you, he will naturally cancel the marriage."
Disqualification and immorality?
Muchuan's eyes couldn't help but light up as he listened, and then he asked in detail how to be disqualified and immoral.
Mo Zhu continued: "Corruption and bribery, betrayal of the monarch, conspiracy to usurp the throne..."
Hearing what Mo Zhu said, Muchuan's face turned as black as coal. He thought that the so-called immoral things should refer to "bad life style", such as being addicted to alcohol, being indolent and loitering in windy and snowy places.
