"You are still young. When other people's children are your age, they can go out and meet guests." The emperor sneered and scolded.
"Your Majesty, I am really still young. Look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is also unmarried and has no children, right?" Pei Yuanjun didn't care and pulled Pei Luoan off the horse.
Pei Luoan is actually older than his uncle Wang.
“Can he be the same as you? He was married, but something unexpected happened. Look at you, look at you… For so many years, no young lady has been interested in you. Now, finally there is one like this one, and she’s not bad at all. What else do you want?” The emperor blew his beard and glared, feeling that he had worried too much.
"Uncle Wang, I am also... helpless. If... the Crown Princess was still alive, I'm afraid this would..." When he was mentioned, Pei Luoan smiled bitterly and looked up, his eyes slightly red.
This reminds me of the original Crown Princess Ji Hanyue.
The emperor nodded repeatedly: "Okay, this is settled. Miss Qu Si can't even save her life. She is the future princess, how can she not even save her life?"
"Uncle Wang, please don't refuse. Even if it's for Miss Qu Si's happiness, you can't be so irresponsible. She's a girl, and she's really pitiful. There's no one around her who really cares about her. Although the Crown Princess has always cared about this cousin, but... now even she herself is gone..."
Pei Luoan chimed in, and as he spoke, he mentioned Ji Hanyue again. His voice choked unconsciously, and he quickly stopped talking, fearing that he would not be able to continue, and could not hold back his crying.
"Your Majesty, Miss Qu Si was assassinated when she came down from Qingyun Temple last night. After the assassin was caught, he committed suicide by biting the poison in his teeth. His technique was very skillful." Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
In a word, there was no sound in the imperial study.
Pei Luoan no longer cared about pretending to be affectionate and aggrieved. He pressed his hands hard on the chair rail to calm down the news he had just received. The first reaction in his mind was, who did it
If it’s not me, then it must be Pei Yusheng. Pei Yusheng wants to deal with Pei Yuanjun
Did he want Pei Yuanjun to mistakenly think that he was going to deal with him
Thinking about it this way, he can't just stay out of it!
The prince thought so. The emperor's first reaction was to look at Pei Luoan's reaction, and he stared at Pei Luoan almost subconsciously.
The feeling of being scrutinized made Pei Luoan's pores stand up, and he almost froze there. Did his father really doubt him
After calming down the panic in his heart, Pei Luoan raised his pale face and said seriously, "Father, no one would deal with a weak girl who has nothing to do with him. Moreover, the soldiers they used are assassins. They are not something that ordinary people can send out. They must be related to some people in the royal family."
Neither the emperor nor the prince thought that Qu Moying was the cause of the incident. They all thought that it was Pei Yuanjun who brought the disaster upon himself.
No matter how you look at it, such means should be used on Pei Yuanjun, not a useless weak woman.
The biggest reason is that Qu Moying is going to enter the Prince of Yun’s Mansion.
"I have ordered that this matter cannot be spread without an imperial decree." The emperor said coldly, his eyes fixed on Pei Luoan.
The Empress knew about Pei Yuanjun's marriage, so how could the Crown Prince not know about it
Can this eldest son really not tolerate Pei Yuanjun
This idea made the emperor
He was very unhappy and his expression turned cold when he looked at Pei Luoan.
"Father, I and mother knew about this matter, but I followed your orders and never told anyone in the Eastern Palace about it. Please check to see if there are other people who also know about your uncle's marriage." Pei Luoan tried to look calm and blurted out the words.
He looked very calm. There was no need for the emperor to say anything because he had already made the statement himself. This meant that he really did not say or do anything.
His father's favoritism towards Pei Yuanjun had reached a point where Pei Luoan could not control his anger whenever he thought about it, but he also knew that before he ascended the throne, he had to restrain his hostility towards Pei Yuanjun and not let his father discover even a single bit of it.
Besides, this matter had nothing to do with him. He didn't know about the assassination yesterday, nor did he tell Ji Youran that Qu Moying was going to marry Pei Yuanjun.
It can be said that he does what he says.
The emperor looked at Pei Luoan suspiciously and saw that he looked calm and his eyes were firm. Although there was a hint of panic in his expression, there was also a hint of grievance. Could it be that it really wasn't him
But if it wasn't him, who else could be in this palace
The next person who popped into his mind was King Jing.
Concubine He must know about it, and Prince Jing should also know it. Since it is not the crown prince, then it could be Prince Jing
Thinking of Concubine He and Prince Jing, the emperor's expression suddenly became fierce, and he snorted coldly: "I'm not dead yet, and they can't help but jump out one by one. If I die, will Prince Yun's life be wasted?"
These words were heart-piercing, and they were said in front of Pei Luoan. How could Pei Luoan sit still? He knelt down with a plop: "Father, why do you say that?" Seeing his son kneeling in front of him in fear and trepidation and looking at him with utmost respect, the emperor suddenly lost interest.
He waved his hand and said in a fainter voice: "Go down!"
"Father..." Pei Luoan wanted to say something else, but when he saw Li Quan winking at him, he immediately stopped talking and did not dare to say any more. He stood up, saluted respectfully to the emperor, and then retreated to the door.
He stood outside the door, looking back fiercely at the imperial study behind him, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes. He was obviously his father's eldest son, the eldest legitimate son, and the rightful crown prince, but his father favored Pei Yuanjun. Why was that
The hand under his sleeve clenched into a fist, then slowly fell down. When he looked up again, his face was gentle. He looked at the imperial study behind him, sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, turned around and strode towards the Queen's Pepper Room with his men.
My mother doesn't know about this yet. I need to discuss it with her and find out if this matter has anything to do with her. I need to think about how to deal with it. If she is involved, it will be troublesome.
It wasn't that he didn't trust his mother, it was just that there were too many things that he wasn't involved in, but his mother had repeatedly intervened. After all, his mother was a little short-sighted...
As soon as Pei Luoan left, the study became quiet again. The emperor's eyes fell on Pei Yuanjun. Just now, he and the prince and his son were talking to each other, and Pei Yuanjun leaned aside to listen to them. This matter did not concern him at all.
"What do you think?" Seeing that he still looked as if it was none of his business, the emperor sighed helplessly. No matter what happened, he, as the emperor, would always be more impatient than him.
It was like this when I was young, and it is still like this when I grow up.
"Of course it's because of Weichen." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, "Anyway, the two families haven't officially married yet, so this is to give her a way out and also to restore Weichen's good reputation."
"Nonsense! Are you going to never get married in your entire life?" The emperor laughed in anger.
"It's not impossible for a minister not to get married. There's no one particularly suitable anyway." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile, not caring at all.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? Can it be that you, a dignified Prince of Yun, can't protect the safety of a woman?" The emperor asked back.
"Of course that's possible." Pei Yuanjun hesitated.
"That's good. If others don't want you to get married, just get married. If someone wants to take advantage of you, I will stand behind you." The emperor glared and scolded, "With your own strength, can't you even do such a small thing?"
"Your Majesty, it's not impossible, it's just a little troublesome. Women are really troublesome!" Pei Yuanjun sighed.
"Even if it's troublesome, you have to marry her. This matter is settled. I will issue an edict to grant the marriage soon. You just go back home and prepare. If you are worried about the safety of the fourth young lady of the Qu mansion, arrange for someone to protect her." The emperor said unhappily.
He was worried when Pei Yuanjun didn't have a wife, and he still feels uneasy now that he has a wife, mainly because it doesn't look like the kid is the type who cares about women.
The emperor didn't know whether he hoped Pei Yuanjun would care about the fourth young lady of the Qu family or not. He just felt heartbroken.
Pei Yuanjun has never been a worry-free person since he was a child, and he has lost a lot of hair because of this.
The emperor was so angry that he could not contain his anger as he saw that his child had finally grown up and yet he still had to worry about him so much.
"I thank the emperor very much." Pei Yuanjun stood up lazily to express his gratitude.
The emperor felt that he was just following his own will and didn't take it to heart. He couldn't help but remind him again: "You will have a princess in the future. Even if she has an eye disease, you must live a good life with her in the future. You can't let her be harmed by others. If you are not satisfied in the future, I will grant you another marriage."
This means that no matter what, Miss Qu Si is the future Princess of Yun County. If Pei Yuanjun really doesn't care that much, or if he takes a fancy to other women in the future, the Emperor can still grant the marriage. He can't let him down.
This is completely said from Pei Yuanjun's standpoint.
Eunuch Li Quan, who was standing behind the emperor, sighed silently. The emperor was too biased towards Prince Yun.
However, thinking about those old things that had been buried for a long time, Eunuch Liquan felt that it was reasonable. If Concubine He could always be favored by the emperor, why couldn't Prince Yun be in the emperor's heart
Although there are many women in the harem, only that one can truly win the emperor's heart. Unfortunately, she was short-lived.
Thinking back to the past, it was really a pity, but it also made Eunuch Liquan clearly know who the master was! In fact, there has never been any deviation...
After being taught a lesson, Pei Yuanjun was kicked out of the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor stopped writing after reviewing several memorials and suddenly asked gloomily, "Liquan, tell me, who is it that can't tolerate the Prince of Yun?"
With just one sentence, the smile on Li Quan's face froze.
The Emperor is planning to continue without stopping...
