Even though Mrs. Yan didn't want Yan Shuang to say this, she really didn't know anything. If she wanted her to come up with something, she had to have these things in her mind.
Yan Shuang was very embarrassed and could only nod slowly.
After seeing how confident Yan Shuang was, the emperor snorted and said to her, "Forget it, since you don't know anything, I can't say anything. Just look at other people's works." After that, he waved. He waved his hand, signaling Yan Shuang to get down quickly.
Yan Shuang was still stunned, and Madam hurried over and pulled her aside. The Emperor didn't even raise his eyes and continued to look at the rest of the scroll.
It was at this time that a picture scroll came into the emperor's eyes. There were only a few peach trees on the picture scroll, and there were a few flowers blooming on it. The composition was very simple, and the colors were very bright. The emperor felt very good after seeing it.
But because there were only these few flowers, it looked a bit desolate. The emperor pointed at the painting and said, "Who painted this?" "
At this time, Su Han slowly walked up to the emperor and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, this is painted by my daughter."
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Su Han, and immediately recognized that she was the eldest daughter of the Su family. He said to Mr. Su next to him: "I didn't expect that this daughter of yours is quite talented. She is also good at painting and looks good. It’s quite exquisite and beautiful.”
As soon as Mr. Su heard what the emperor said, his eyes lit up and he came to the emperor and said to him: "This daughter of mine is not that I am boasting, but she is indeed very well-born. I also have the intention to cultivate her into an excellent woman. , Now that Su Han is getting older, it’s time to talk about marriage. Since there are many young masters here today, can the emperor promise a young master to my Han’er?”
The emperor frowned when he heard this. He had also heard what Mr. Su meant, but he just wanted the emperor to marry her Su Han.
But today is just a peach blossom banquet, and things like marriage can be done in private.
But since Mr. Su expressed his wish in front of so many people, he must have already chosen someone, and he just wanted to use this excuse to get the emperor to agree.
The emperor was not a fool, so he put the painting on the table, turned to look at Mr. Su and asked teasingly: "Did Mr. Su have already taken a fancy to a certain young master? You might as well tell me, I want to see it. Let’s see if your daughter is a match for that young master.”
Mr. Su lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. His goal had been achieved. Hearing the emperor say this made him very happy. This was the result he wanted.
He said respectfully to the emperor: "His Royal Highness, your conduct is good, and your appearance is also very good. I admire His Highness very much. If my daughter can be betrothed to His Highness, then I will naturally be satisfied. I wonder if the Emperor has this intention. ?”
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Mr. Su. He was a powerful character who could speak out his thoughts so readily and regardless of what others thought.
The emperor immediately turned his head and looked at Mr. Su with some surprise, then he burst into laughter and said to Mr. Su: "I didn't expect that the person Su is thinking about is my He'er, but my He'er is not as outstanding as the adults said. Just a swinger."
Everyone could hear the emperor's humility, and smiled in agreement. Su Han, who was half-kneeling on the ground, raised his eyes and looked at Liang He.
Liang He was seen staring at Mr. Su with a cold face, a very unhappy expression on his face. Yan Ling was sitting next to him with no expression on his face.
She has seen a lot of royal things, and they are all the same.
Every minister in the family tried his best to hope that his daughter could marry the prince, and with it, he would rise to prominence.
However, choosing a prince is a test of one's vision, and whether the prince will be an emperor or a prince is uncertain.
This is like making a bet. If the bet is right, the world will be peaceful in the future. If the bet is wrong, you will be subjected to endless suppression.
Yan Ling raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Su. He could be said to be a powerful man above the court and had some strength.
He probably wanted to put his treasure on Liang He, which was of course a good thing. If he could win Master Su to stand with him, the future would be much easier.
But then again, if you want to win over Master Su, you must marry her daughter Su Han, otherwise why would anyone help him.
Yan Ling was curious about how Liang He would answer. Mr. Su had already spoken so directly. If he offended Mr. Su in person, it would be bad for both the royal family and Mr. Su, and he would offend both parties at once.
When everyone held their breath and wanted to hear the answer, Liang He took two steps forward and said to the emperor: "Father, I have been begging you to grant marriage to Yan Ling, but you have been so late. Without any action, I swear today that I will only marry Yan Ling in this life."
After Liang He finished speaking, everyone knelt down in unison, and even Mr. Su turned his head and looked at Liang He blankly.
Everyone knelt on the ground without saying a word. The emperor glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you talking about? Do you know where this place is and who are you talking to?"
Liang He immediately knelt on the ground. He asked the emperor many times to grant him and Yan Ling a marriage. If the emperor had considered it and followed it, nothing like this would have happened today.
The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table and started walking towards the back.
But Liang He was still kneeling there, showing no intention of apologizing.
At this moment, Concubine De quickly walked up to Liang He, stretched out her hand to push him, and said to him: "He'er, your father is angry. It's not too late to apologize quickly."
Liang He avoided Concubine De's contact, took two steps to catch up with the emperor, and held his hand.
But the emperor threw his hand away and said to him in a low voice every word: "Do you know that you are His Highness the Crown Prince? How can you say such a thing? If you block your own future, what are you going to do? Only then can you ascend to my throne?"
Liang He said to the emperor very sincerely: "But He'er only wants to choose Yan Ling, and wants to give her some sense of security."
"She's just a woman. Don't you know which one is more important, the woman or the country? The country refers to the people of the world, the people. The emperor can give up his own happiness for the sake of those people, but what about you? You Can it be done?”
