Concubine Wan Gui was wearing crimson pajamas. After she helped Emperor Chu Yi lie down, she also got on the bed from the end of the bed. As soon as she got on the bed, Chu Yi held her in his arms.
Concubine Wan Gui rested her head on Chu Yi's arm with a shy look on her face.
Concubine Wan Gui is forty years old this year, but she has taken good care of herself, her figure is still slender, and her skin is still firm. She has a bright appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Even without makeup, she looks very energetic.
If the queen is dignified, then Concubine Wan Gui is lazy and charming.
"emperor."
Seeing Chu Yi's frown, Concubine Wan Gui smoothed his eyebrows and said, "The emperor has been frowning every day these days, but is he worried?"
"Um."
Chu Yi is in his fifties. Due to long-term hard work, he looks older than his actual age. He has wrinkles at the corners of his face and occasionally a few silver strands in his hair.
He hugged Concubine Wan Gui and sighed, "In recent days, there has been drought everywhere, and many provinces in the north have been severely affected. If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid the food supply will be dry."
Concubine Wan Gui said with relief, "The Emperor's grace is so great that it will definitely rain."
Chu Yi frowned and said nothing.
"What do the people from Qintian Prison say?"
"The people at Qintian Prison said that it will rain in the next few days, but with the drought like this, I don't know if it will rain."
"Since the people in Qintian Prison say it will rain, it will definitely rain."
Concubine Wan Gui rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, when I was a child outside the palace, I heard about some ways to pray for rain, but I don't know if it is feasible."
"oh?"
"I have read very few books. If what I say is wrong, the emperor cannot laugh at me."
Chu Yi looked gentle and said, "Say."
"I heard that you need to offer sacrifices to pray for rain, and you have to be sincere to be successful."
"You mean my heart is dishonest?"
"I don't mean that. Your Majesty, you are concerned about the country, the people, and the world. You only care about the common people. How can you be dishonest?
I want to say that God is not satisfied with our sacrifice."
Chu Yi's eyes were deep.
"What do you think we should do, my beloved concubine?"
"I heard that in the past, when praying for rain and blessing, a girl had to be sacrificed."
Chu Yi frowned even more tightly.
Concubine Wan Gui said hurriedly, "Sacrifice is something that was done in the old almanac in the past, and it must not be used now. I was thinking that when a man is seriously ill, he has to marry a wife to celebrate the occasion. Maybe we can have a happy event."
, God saw it and made it rain."
"What happy event?"
"Several of the emperor's princes have not yet married His Highness..." "He can't do it!"
Concubine Wan Gui did not insist and sighed, "Apart from King Li, the only person in the royal family who is waiting to get married now is Princess Changle."
"She's still young..." "She's haircut, so she's not too young."
Chu Yi glanced sideways at her, "Same as you mentioned, do you have a suitable marriage partner?"
"I stay in the palace all year round, so I don't know any men of marriageable age. However... I have a nephew who is not married yet."
"Wancaihou?"
Concubine Wan Gui glared at him angrily, "Your Majesty, you remembered wrongly. Hou'er is my eldest nephew and they are already married. What I am talking about is my natal nephew, Wan Caili."
The name sounds familiar.
But it doesn't match the face.
Chu Yi thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it. He thought about it and asked Concubine Wan Gui, "Has your nephew ever entered the palace?"
"Yes, it's a good thing that the emperor still remembers it."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile, "That child entered the palace a few years ago and met Chang Le in the palace. Alas, to be honest with the Emperor, my nephew is an infatuated person. He fell in love with Chang Le at first sight and fell in love with him after meeting him once.
Never forget.
No, now that I am seventeen years old, I still refuse to marry a wife."
"oh?"
"I heard that the Queen is also choosing a son-in-law for Princess Changle recently, so I thought it would be better to choose someone who knows the truth. My nephew is good-looking, and he has a deep love for Changle. If Changle enters Wanfu, I will
My pregnant brother and sister-in-law will definitely regard Changle as their own."
Chu Yi suddenly lowered his eyes, "Is the queen choosing a son-in-law for Yiran?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't you know?"
Seeing Chu Yi's ugly face, Concubine Wan Gui seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and quickly covered her mouth. She said softly, "The queen may want to see each other first, and then tell the emperor. She definitely didn't hide it from you on purpose.
"
"Um."
Even so, Chu Yi's expression did not improve.
"Your Majesty, Chang Le and Li'er..." "A woman's marriage is a major event. She is also my eldest daughter. We cannot be casual about marriage. Let me think about this matter carefully."
"yes."
...that night.
Little Xingxing knew what happened in the palace.
She looked at Chu Li in astonishment, "You mean Concubine Wan Gui wants Chu Yiran to marry her nephew?"
"Um."
Before Little Xingxing said anything, Mo Yu became anxious at the side, "How can this be done? Aren't Concubine Wan Guifei's family and the princelings sworn enemies? The little girl Chu Yiran married into the Wan family, and those people in the Wan family don't care.
Grind her to death?
The emperor is her father, so he shouldn't harm her like this."
"It's hard to tell."
"Why?"
"The relationship between the Jiang Wangdang and the princelings is too tense now. The emperor is still in his prime. He definitely doesn't want to see the two parties quarreling too much. He wants the two parties to ease their relationship. The best way is to marry."
Mo Yu couldn't believe it, "Then push his daughter into the fire pit?"
Chu Li said nothing, obviously acquiescing.
"wipe!"
Mo Yu immediately exploded, "Is this something a father can do!"
Chu Li looked at him deeply and said, "So, Yi Ran's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. There is another matter."
"What?"
"The Queen is inquiring about Mo Yu's identity."
Little Xingxing was stunned, "Chu Yiran didn't really tell the queen that she wanted to marry Mo Yu, right?"
"Obviously, otherwise the queen wouldn't have spent time investigating Mo Yu at this juncture."
"Then the identity you arranged for Mo Yu..." Chu Li chuckled, "Don't worry, there are no flaws."
"..." Little Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good.
If the Queen checks Mo Yu and finds out that he is not found, it will be the end of the world.
A moment of silence.
Little Xingxing asked Mo Yu, "Do you want to marry Chu Yiran? If you want to marry her, let's find a way to fight for it."
"I?"
Mo Yu was confused, "I don't know..." His mind was in a mess now.
After spending half a month with Chu Yiran, he had a pretty good impression of the little girl Chu Yiran. She was obviously a princess, but she was cute and cute without any airs of a princess.
But... marry her?
He only regarded Chu Yiran as a friend and had never considered this issue at all.
But...if she doesn't marry...then will she have to marry that Wan Cai Li?
If King Jiang wins the battle for the throne, all the princelings will definitely be destroyed. Her husband's family killed her mother and brother. How will she deal with it?
If the princelings win, Concubine Wan Guifei's party will definitely be wiped out. If her family kills her husband, what will she do in the future?
No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end.
Thinking that the little girl had to face this situation, he... couldn't bear it.
