Chapter seven hundred and thirty-ninth face to face to ask
"Father, my son has been feeling much better these days. I just heard that my fourth brother was here, so I wanted to come and meet him."
The eldest prince pressed his chest and stood up slowly. First he looked around the imperial study room. When he saw Liang Zhirui, he was also surprised.
"It turns out that the boss is here." Then the eldest prince actually gave a half salute to Liang Zhirui.
Liang Zhirui quickly dodged away, shouting repeatedly: "I can't do it! I can't do it!"
"You deserve it. You were my mentor before, and it is the right thing to respect your teacher." The eldest prince replied humbly.
"Exactly! After all, he asked you for advice. You deserve this gift!" The emperor laughed, extremely satisfied with the eldest prince's performance.
The three of them exchanged some pleasantries, and then the eldest prince asked: "Father, my fourth brother has gone back? It seems that I am a step too late!"
The eldest prince shook his head and sighed, looking very regretful.
"What? Are you here to see him?" The emperor's smile was a little stiff, but then it returned to normal.
"He often shuts himself up in the mansion. This time I heard that he didn't come to court for several days. My son was recovering from his injuries in the mansion and I haven't seen him for a while. It just so happened that I got a copy of a famous book in the past two days.
Copybooks, doesn’t he like to copy them? I wanted to give them to him.”
The eldest prince took out a copybook from his arms and waved it towards the emperor.
"He has gone back a long time ago." The emperor motioned to De'an to take the copybook over, obviously to appreciate it.
"Didn't you say that you would choose a concubine for him in the next two days? I also want to come and see whose girl you have chosen for him."
The eldest prince smiled casually, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood today.
"Oh? You want to know too? However, he chose this candidate, and I didn't interfere." The emperor's smile was a little forced, and his tone became colder.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and Liang Zhirui's heart jumped into his throat.
Only then did the eldest prince realize that something was wrong, but he didn't give up and asked anyway.
"Then I wonder whose girl the fourth child has chosen?"
The emperor smiled faintly, "Which family is it from? No, my direct maternal grandfather is here!" He pointed at Liang Zhirui and said casually.
Hearing this, the eldest prince suddenly realized, "So you have chosen the grandson of the old man?"
He looked happy, but Liang Zhirui felt bitter in his heart.
The emperor carefully observed the expression on the eldest prince's face and found that the prince's joy did not seem to be fake, he was really happy for the fourth child.
He frowned. He naturally understood the boss's temperament.
The Duke of Zhenguo is a long-established nobleman in the capital. Even if it is not as prominent as the late emperor, it still has considerable influence on the court.
Why is the boss so free and easy after knowing the choice of fourth child?
The emperor was a little surprised at first, but then he understood. Didn't he know that the fourth child was not innocent until today?
The eldest son might be the same as him, and thought that the fourth son was a man who was content with the world and was idle in clouds and wild cranes, right?
Although the emperor was very suspicious of Prince Jing's motive for marrying Yao Mengxian, Prince Jing usually hid it well, so the emperor didn't take it too seriously.
Moreover, Prince Jing was powerless and sick, and there was no one in the court to support him. The emperor was not afraid that Prince Jing would stir up the vast ocean of the imperial court.
"He has fallen in love with my granddaughter. It's a pity that today is a coincidence. The boss came here also for his granddaughter's marriage."
"Then the boss has taken a liking to our fourth child?" The eldest prince's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled broadly.
"Haha! He didn't fall in love with the fourth child, but he fell in love with a young and handsome man." The emperor laughed and put down the copybook in his hand.
Liang Zhirui stood up and said, "I came here to ask the emperor for marriage."
"Then I don't know which good man you have your eye on?" The eldest prince took a sip of tea and was thinking of countermeasures.
"It's my young disciple, Gu Chengyu!"
Liang Zhirui was afraid that the eldest prince would harmonize with the emperor and decide the marriage between Sister Xian and Prince Jing, so he didn't care about it anymore.
"Oh? You mean Jin Yu?" The eldest prince was very surprised. He suddenly raised his head from the tea bowl and looked at Liang Zhirui.
"Indeed! I don't know Prince Jing's plan, but these two people are childhood sweethearts with similar looks, and I also know Jin Yu's temperament. Therefore, I came here today to ask the emperor to grant marriage to these two people."
Now that he has entered the palace, Liang Zhirui must get the emperor's consent to this matter.
Back then, he worked hard for the sake of the court and the country. Although he was no longer valued by the emperor in the end. But after so many years of friendship, wouldn't the emperor give him any face?
Besides, he still had the last trump card in his hand. He suffered a big loss in that incident back then.
Even if the emperor later promoted him to chief assistant, how could this make up for the pain he suffered back then?
Putting these thoughts aside for the time being, Liang Zhirui looked at the emperor with firm eyes, causing the emperor to fall silent immediately.
The eldest prince suddenly smiled, "My lord, I want to pair Jin Yu with your granddaughter, but have you ever asked Jin Yu what you mean?"
Liang Zhirui glanced at the eldest prince strangely. When did the eldest prince become so familiar with Jin Yu? He seemed to know Jin Yu very well.
"I mentioned it last year, but he didn't object."
The eldest prince's smiling face was a little stiff, then he picked up the tea bowl and fell silent.
Liang Zhirui glanced at the two father and son, and suddenly felt uneasy again.
This time the couple agreed on the same opinion. What Liang Zhirui didn't understand the most was why the emperor disagreed.
Logically speaking, wouldn't Gu Chengyu marry Sister Xian just to solve the emperor's problem? I believe the emperor doesn't want Prince Jing to marry Sister Xian, right?
Liang Zhirui's attitude towards the emperor was somewhat unpredictable. Besides, when the eldest prince came here at this time, could he really come to see Prince Jing?
Liang Zhirui glanced sideways at the eldest prince, isn't this here to be a lobbyist?
"Just because you don't object, doesn't mean you agree! You are his teacher, how dare he refuse? In my opinion, it would be better to call someone over and ask him face to face."
The eldest prince straightened his sleeves and said slowly.
"How can this be possible? It's not a sure thing yet, so calling him here will ultimately harm the granddaughter's face. Besides, who has asked his parents to propose marriage? As long as the parents agree, how can the little kid have any room to comment?
"
When Liang Zhirui heard that he was going to call Gu Chengyu, he shook his head quickly, how could that happen?
If he stands here, he might be able to accomplish something. But if Jin Yu comes, he will be oppressed by the emperor and the eldest prince.
The young disciple is an official in the court, and these two young disciples cannot afford to offend them!
"Boss, please kneel down first!" The emperor suddenly spoke, interrupting the eldest prince who was about to ask a question.
The eldest prince's breath suffocated, and he was a little stunned.
"Then I resigned! The weather is cold and my father's knees need special care every rainy day. I also ask my father to take care of his body." 13
