Concubine Ming said: "Today Qing'er was rescued by Prime Minister Wen, why don't you make an order to get them married, so that you can stop everyone from talking about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jue walking over with Wen Qiyu, and the two of them met with each other.
Xiao Chongjun looked at Wen Qiyu and said: "Wen Aiqing, you are saving my daughter. She was already engaged. Now what happened is that Concubine Ming wants to cancel the engagement of the fifth princess and promise her to you. What do you think?
?”
He heard that Xiao Chengyi mentioned this person with praise, so he wanted to test him and see how to deal with this matter?
Wen Qiyu took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your great love, but I am already engaged, so please forgive me for not being able to bear it."
Concubine Ming looked stunned, looked at Wen Qiyu and said, "Master Wen, are you going to refuse?"
Wen Qiyu calmly said: "Wei Chen saved the fifth princess with just a little effort. If he had known that he would marry the fifth princess after saving her, then Wei Chen would never have interfered in her own business.
Furthermore, if Wei Chen agrees to this marriage, it will definitely bring a bad atmosphere in the capital."
Xiao Chongjun raised his eyebrows, arousing curiosity: "Tell me about it?"
Wen Qiyu said: "It is unfortunate for a woman to fall into the lake, but it is unfair to have to marry because she was rescued by a man.
Moreover, if you encounter a man who is not willing to marry you, he will take advantage of this and force the woman to marry.
To put it another way, if he had to marry the woman who fell into the lake after rescuing her, then those men with families and loved ones would probably not be kind enough to save her.
Wouldn't this cost a lot of lives and ruin the atmosphere of the capital?"
Xiao Chongjun nodded: "What Aiqing said is reasonable. This kind of trend cannot be condoned. It's just that women in today's world regard honor and integrity as very important. Does Wen Aiqing have any good solutions?"
Wen Qiyu said in a slow voice: "The woman who fell into the lake did not lose her integrity in the first place, but what made her lose her integrity was the gossip and the world's prejudice against women.
This world is particularly unfair to women, and Wei Chen feels that relevant laws should be enacted to protect women from harm."
Xiao Chongjun was very satisfied with his opinion. He said: "Then I will leave this matter to you. I hope Wen Aiqing can formulate laws to protect women so that women in this world can enjoy fair treatment."
Wen Qiyu folded his trousers, saluted and said: "I obey the order."
Xiao Chongjun nodded and said to everyone: "Okay, let's all disperse."
Concubine Ming was stunned. Is this the matter? She quickly pulled Xiao Chongjun's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, what about Qing'er? You can't ignore her."
There was a hint of anger in Xiao Chongjun's eyes. He was not stupid, so how could he not see what was going on today?
At this time, Empress Sun came over and said: "Your Majesty, the fact that the fifth princess fell into the lake is really strange. Why did she fall into the lake after everything was fine?
What about the palace people around her? Why was Lord Wen the one who saved the princess? Where are all the eunuchs and guards in the palace?
If this incident was an accident, that would be fine, but if not, it is not a trivial matter. I think it would be better to find out.
This will also give an explanation to Concubine Ming and Lord Wen, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Chongjun nodded and said: "Okay, just follow what the queen said."
Mu Yun'an stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Madam, can you hand over this matter to me for investigation? I am confident that I can give you the truth."
Xiao Chongjun looked at Mu Yun'an and said with a smile: "Okay, then leave it to the princess to investigate. I'm waiting for your truth."
Mu Yun'an bowed respectfully: "I will not disappoint His Majesty."
With that said, she ran to Xiao Chengyi, hugged his arm and said, "Husband, you have to help me."
