Chu Xinyuan thought over and over again, trying hard to think of the possibilities, and even thought of Pei Ji being born in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.
But this is still impossible!
Even if Pei Ji is a mighty marquis, it is impossible, let alone a mighty marquis who has failed to inherit the title of marquis and has no heirs?
Therefore, if the emperor wants to grant a marriage, there is another candidate!
Chu Xinyuan felt a surge of anger in his heart.
This man was really idle. In the early years, he could hardly survive in the deep palace. This man didn't even take a look. From a distance, he could only see his tall figure.
But he can only survive like a rat in the gutter, struggling and humbly.
Now, he keeps interfering in his own affairs!
But Chu Xinyuan can't show the slightest bit of displeasure now. This person is very suspicious, even if he is a prince, he will not rest assured!
Besides, the road he fought for with his own life, filled with blood and murder at every step, finally has a glimmer of light in the capital. This man has repeatedly granted him marriage, which is not a favor, but just to manipulate him.<
/p>
His face didn't reveal anything, but he said in a deep voice: "I wonder who my father wants to marry?"
The emperor sneered in his heart. He had an appointment with someone outside, so what else could he pretend to do in front of him?
The emperor coughed lightly and said calmly: "I think that the daughter-in-law of the Chengguo Palace is from a good background, and she also knows books and etiquette. If you marry her as a princess, she will be much better than Mu. You will suffer the consequences of Mu.
I feel wronged and don’t want to in my heart, but for this, I’m sure you are more willing to do it!”
As soon as Chu Xinyuan raised his eyes, he caught a look that passed quickly in the emperor's eyes. He saluted and said: "Father, my son can marry anyone, but he will never marry someone who is smart, scheming, and trying to harm him.
A woman with royal honor. It doesn’t matter if my son gets married or not, and it doesn’t matter if my reputation is damaged or not. But if she marries because of calculations, it won’t slap my son’s face, but the royal family’s face!”
The emperor did not expect that he would say these words, and couldn't help but wonder: "Lao Wu, what do you mean by this?"
They were in love with each other, had a private tryst, and even went into the water to save people. With the physical relationship, he took advantage of the situation and granted marriage. Anyway, he was relieved by Cheng Guogong. Why did Lao Wu mean that now, it didn't seem to be the case?<
/p>
Chu Xinyuanlue raised his eyes and saw the emperor's expression, he understood!
Something like that happened in Dingyuanhou's Mansion just over an hour ago. He was immediately summoned by the emperor, and without any foreshadowing or turning around, he directly asked for a marriage. That was because he knew what happened in Dingyuanhou's Mansion.
It’s just that we don’t know it completely.
If you knew it completely, you would understand what he meant! He was taking steps steadily in the capital. Even if the emperor was suspicious, he would not grant him a marriage even if he knew he didn't want to marry her.
Therefore, the person who told the emperor about this was not the emperor's person.
Then there is only one possibility.
Duke Cheng Guo has entered the palace?
That old man is really brave!
A chill arose in Chu Xinyuan's heart. Originally, he just bent down and saluted, but at this time, he knelt down directly!
The emperor was still satisfied with his son performing such a grand gift in front of him.
The etiquette state of the Eastern Xia Dynasty does not deliberately bend the backs of courtiers. Unless the courtier makes a mistake, or in the early morning, when facing the saint, he does not need to kneel. A long salute is enough!
This is not a certain dynasty in the history of the world where Mu Qingyu lived in his previous life, where ministers would kneel before the emperor and call themselves slaves!
The emperor felt comfortable, so he asked again: "You are talking nicely, why are you kneeling?"
Chu Xinyuan was still kneeling and said: "I am ashamed. Today I encountered something very frustrating and angry. It was due to my incompetence. I originally thought that I would be sulky for a few days and then it would be over. Since my father, the emperor
Don't hesitate to ask, I dare not hide anything from my father!"
Frustrated and angry? Sulking?
The emperor was a little startled, not because of the words in this sentence, but because of the emotion shown by Chu Xinyuan at this time.
He was not familiar with this son. He had never seen him since he was a child, but he knew that this boy was not as good as a eunuch. After all, he was young and incompetent, and he lost his mother-in-law. The queen was in charge of the harem and did not deliberately target him.
But there were so many eunuchs in the palace who flattered and disdained him, which was enough to make him suffer.
It wasn't until he asked himself to join the army and returned to the court with military exploits that he let the world know that there was another fifth prince. In front of him, he had always strictly guarded his duties as a minister because they were not familiar with them!
But at this time, Chu Xinyuan's tone and eyes were those of a son expressing his grievances to his father!
The emperor has no shortage of sons, and this son who has a few traces of the same blood as the general Gu Qiheng in his body is even more unpopular to him.
He was someone he didn't like at first, but his sudden expression made the emperor unexpectedly touched.
Although he is the daughter of Jing's concubine, he is also of his own blood.
The emperor rarely said: "You are my son, what grievances can't you tell me? Tell me, what is it?"
Chu Xinyuan said: "Father, I have been in a bad mood since... I divorced my wife. I have no friendship with Marquis Dingyuan, so I don't have to leave the post in his house. Before today
I went because I thought that Marquis Dingyuan was the eldest brother’s maternal wife. Since I and the eldest brother are brothers, if I, the younger brother, went, the eldest brother would definitely be happy.
When my cousin committed a crime, my son-in-law failed to be accommodating. I think my elder brother will understand that my son-in-law was just doing his duty!"
There was a coldness in the emperor's eyes. He had heard enough of these words. Those courtiers went around the corner to flaunt themselves and show their loyalty, but he knew exactly what they were thinking in their hearts. p>
Chu Xinyuan changed the subject: "When I was a child, I was not close to any of the royal brothers. What I envied most was that the royal brothers played together, while I watched alone.
I was cowardly and did not dare to step forward. Even on the battlefield, my son felt sorry for me. Now that I have grown up, my heart is still the same as when I was a child!"
The emperor said calmly: "I never thought you would think this way. When you were a child, your royal brothers ignored you. Did you ever resent it?"
Chu Xinyuan lowered his head: "I have complained so much!"
The darkness in the emperor's eyes flashed past, and there was also a hint of coldness.
Then I heard Chu Xinyuan say again: "But when I grow up, I won't be resentful anymore. Because if I were one of them, I wouldn't care about it!"
This sentence made the emperor's eyes warmer.
Chu Xinyuan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, I not only want to be close to them, I also have selfish motives!"
He raised his head and faced the emperor directly, with sincere eyes and a sincere tone: "My son's cowardice has always been in my bones, and I don't want to live the same life as before. Therefore, I will do my best to fulfill my duties and do my duty well. I will try my best to communicate with everyone."
The four emperor brothers have a good relationship!”
