"The third prince has a good character, and the people in the disaster relief are also very respectful to him, but now that His Royal Highness the third prince is about to reach the crown, it would be better to settle the marriage. A man is in the sky, naturally he has to start a family first, and then establish a career. Therefore, the emperor , the minister asks for a marriage to His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Duan Cheng's words were so convincing that the courtiers were a little surprised.
If it was Nan Xuanyu who said this, maybe everyone would not react like this. After all, Nan Xuanyu was older than Nan Xuanjue. Uncle Guo's remarks naturally caused an uproar in the court.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Duan Cheng, wondering what he was thinking.
In addition to the noisy voices of the ministers above the court, there are voices of doubt. Du Zihuan's faction is naturally calm, wanting to see what Duan Cheng wants to do.
The emperor naturally did not say anything, but quietly watched the reaction of the courtiers, his heart was naturally like a mirror, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
But Nan Xuanyu naturally did not have the calmness of the emperor. His current feelings for Ji Yueqin were no longer the purest liking at the time. Instead, they were mixed with possessiveness and... hostility towards Nan Xuanjue.
Although they are brothers, sometimes it is difficult to explain clearly when it comes to women's issues.
After some noise, the courtiers saw that the emperor was silent, and gradually disappeared.
Duan Cheng's back was already wet with cold sweat. He knew it was a risky move, and now the queen didn't know about it. It was purely about killing Cheng Yaojin halfway through, which surprised everyone for a while.
"Your Majesty?" Duan Cheng called out, looking at the Emperor suspiciously.
The emperor raised his head and looked at Duan Cheng, but he didn't take it seriously, "Yu'er isn't married yet, his younger brother can't get married earlier than him. Zu Xun is there, I don't know why Uncle Guo mentioned this. When things come, could it be that you want to urge Yuer to marry."
Duan Cheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the emperor to express his thoughts so directly, but if so, I'm afraid the emperor would do the opposite. If Ji Yueqin betrothed to Nan Xuanyu, something would really go wrong, and Still a big deal!
But will the emperor really let His Royal Highness marry Duan Zhilan so smoothly? After all, as long as Nan Xuanyu marries Duan Zhilan, it will only make the Duan family more powerful in terms of power. To a certain extent, this will only fuel the arrogance of the Duan family. I think the emperor would not agree with the two of them. marriage.
Although the queen swears, she insists that Duan Zhilan will become Nan Xuanyu's concubine. She doesn't know what she will do. I'm afraid she has ruined the queen's affairs now.
Countless thoughts flashed through Duan Cheng's mind, and the more he thought about it, the paler his face became. Now he doesn't know if it was his sister's fault, and he began to regret it, why did he suddenly do these things.
"Why didn't Uncle Guo say anything? Didn't you ask me to marry Jue'er?" The emperor looked at Duan Cheng with a somewhat mysterious smile.
Now Duan Cheng really doesn't know what to say. Now that the Queen's plan has been disrupted, if there are irreversible consequences, I'm afraid that he, the elder brother, will also be taught a lesson by the Queen.
It's just a lesson, I'm just afraid of the consequences, which he can't accept.
"Your Majesty... How can the minister be in charge of the marriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Duan Cheng hesitated, but in the end he didn't intend to intervene in the Queen's plan, so he had no choice but to say embarrassingly.
"It doesn't matter, but I have a candidate in my heart." The emperor smiled and looked straight at Duan Cheng.
When it was over, Duan Cheng became a little flustered immediately. According to the emperor's love for Ji Yueqin, Duan Cheng felt that the next moment the emperor spit it out, he probably wanted to say that the person in his heart was Ji Yueqin.
But after all, Duan Cheng has also stood in this power center for so many years, and he is naturally a cunning fox. Although he is thinking wildly in his mind, he still looks calm on the surface.
"Oh? The emperor has a crush on someone's girl. This is considered a majesty of the emperor." Duan Chengpi said to the emperor with a smile.
The emperor smiled like a fox, looked straight at Duan Cheng, and said jokingly: "Master Duan's daughter, Duan Zhilan."
When Duan Cheng heard what the emperor said, his mind suddenly became blank like a bolt from the blue.
Your Majesty... Did you just say Zhilan? Wait, what the emperor said is Zhilan!
Duan Cheng stared at the emperor in a daze, and once again there was an uproar in the courtroom.
"Your Majesty, aren't you trying to make the minister happy?" Duan Cheng was a little puzzled, and he couldn't keep the smirk on his face any longer.
When the emperor heard Duan Cheng's words, he became serious, "You are not joking. I think Zhilan is a good girl. Although she is a little frizzy, she can be called virtuous and virtuous. If you become a princess in the future, you have to work harder. ."
Nan Xuanyu did not expect that his father would actually say such a thing. When he thought of marrying Duan Zhilan, his mind went blank. Although he doesn't reject Duan Zhilan so much now, it's just that only Ji Yueqin is worthy of the concubine he wants.
So when Nan Xuanyu's mind became hot, he knelt down toward the emperor in front of the civil and military officials in the court hall.
"Please take your father back." Nan Xuanyu's voice trembled a little. He knew that doing so might make his mother angry, but for his own sake, he still did it.
The hall became deadly silent, no one spoke, just quietly looked at Nan Xuanyu, who was kneeling in the middle.
Duan Cheng's face turned from white to black, and he has not yet recovered from the joy and shock just now. Hearing such words now, he feels very annoyed now. Are these two father and son playing with themselves
"Yu'er, I'm not discussing this with you, I'm giving you a marriage." The emperor looked at Nan Xuanyu without a smile on his face.
Nan Xuanyu knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. He could marry Duan Zhilan, but he did not want Duan Zhilan to be his concubine.
But Duan Zhilan's identity was there, it was impossible to be Nan Xuanyu's side concubine, so in any case, no matter how much he said, it was useless.
"Erchen...Understood." Nan Xuanyu didn't know what to think in his heart, raised his head to look at the emperor, and said loudly: "Erchen already has someone he likes."
The emperor didn't have to think about it to know who Nan Xuanyu liked, his sons were very similar to him, and even the women he liked were similar. There are too many similarities between Ji Yueqin and Duan Rou. Sometimes, he himself regards Ji Yueqin as Rouer.
The emperor didn't say anything, but Nan Xuanyu still said it, "My son, I like Princess Anning."
