Everyone's mouths opened in shock. They never expected that Concubine Xiao would suddenly make such a move!
The emperor's body is a secret, how can he tell it at will?
At this moment, several princes looked at the emperor with eager eyes.
The expressions of the Queen Mother and the Queen suddenly changed!
"Concubine Xiao!"
The queen glanced at the agitated emperor and said angrily:
"The emperor just contracted a small cold. The imperial doctor has prescribed medicine and he will be fine soon."
She winked at the emperor crazily, and the Queen Mother also echoed:
"Yes, the weather is changeable these days, and the Ai family also has a severe headache.
Emperor, you must cooperate with the imperial physician's treatment and take medicine. "
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. I know."
The emperor finally realized that if a few princes knew about his body, they might turn against him.
Worried that these people were thinking too much, the Queen Mother cleverly changed the subject, and her eyes slowly fell on Song Jiuli next to Jiang Wan.
"The Ai family thinks that Miss Li'er is pretty, and she is a good match for the eldest son of the Jin Shangshu family."
Jin Shangshu, the Minister of Rites, is the nephew of the Queen Mother. Is he trying to draw Song Jiuyuan into the Queen Mother's camp?
Song Jiuli became anxious when she heard this, and she hurriedly pulled Mrs. Song.
"Mom, I don't want to marry him!"
"The Queen Mother has good taste."
Jin Shangshu stood up and was about to speak when Song Qing suddenly said:
"The Queen Mother naturally has excellent taste, but my little daughter is naughty, so I would like to stay a little longer."
"I have reached the marriageable age."
The Queen Mother was in a bad mood. Did Song Qing mean to refuse?
"The Aijia seems to be a good match for them."
"Then according to the mother's wishes, we will grant them marriage."
Why does the emperor care so much? He said with a smile:
"The eldest son of the Jin family, Jin Congwen, is handsome and unrestrained, and the girl from the Song family, Song Jiuli, has a beautiful heart and is a good match.
Tell me my will and choose a day to get married! "
Jin Congwen knelt down in the center of the hall with a smile, "I accept the order and thank the Lord for his kindness."
It seemed that they had planned this a long time ago, and Song Jiuyuan and the others were caught off guard.
Song Jiuli's eyes suddenly widened, and her clear eyes seemed to be stained with tears.
"mother."
Her voice was hoarse, and Mrs. Song felt quite distressed, but she had no choice but to pat the back of her hand gently.
"Li'er, you go and receive the order first, and we will slowly think of a solution."
Resistance is a capital offense.
Song Jiuli forced a smile and reluctantly stepped forward to receive the imperial edict. When she came back, she was a little distracted.
Jiang Wan whispered to her: "If you really don't want to marry him, let's go back and think of something."
"Wanwan, please leave her alone."
Mrs. Song was a little irritated, "Earlier I asked you to choose whether you wanted to or not, but now it's better. You don't even have a chance to choose."
"Ma'am, please don't be angry."
Song Qing held Mrs. Song's hand and comforted her: "There is still hope for this matter."
"I hope so."
Mrs. Song sighed slightly, feeling very depressed.
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, no wonder there were so many resentful couples in ancient times. It turned out that they were all forced to hold red threads.
While she was thinking, the dog emperor sitting in the seat continued:
"I see how talented the War King's younger brother is, and he seems to be of marriageable age."
Everyone:! ! !
Sure enough, it was up to the dog emperor to ask them to come back!
"emperor!"
Song Jiuzhi glanced at Qi Chu, who was sitting next to Mr. Chu and had regained his identity. He was now Chu Qi.
Then he knelt on the ground and said, "Wei Chen has made an engagement in Jiuzhou."
Everyone was shocked again, they were just playing with their heartbeats!
"He really dared to say it."
Song Qing muttered, but did not refute. It was better than letting a dog emperor's spy come in.
Jiang Wan raised her eyes and looked at Chu Qi not far away, her expression almost made her cry.
However, Mr. Chu remained calm and calm, as if he didn't know.
"oh?"
The Dog Emperor raised his eyebrows majestically, as if he was a little displeased, but Song Jiuchi seemed not to notice and continued:
"We know each other in Jiuzhou, and I cannot let her down!"
"Is it the girl from Aiqing's family?"
The Dog Emperor said this deliberately, just to make Song Jiuchi sober up.
However, Song Jiuchi pretended to be stupid, "She is very ordinary, a girl from an ordinary family."
"How about that?"
The Dog Emperor looked at Song Jiuyuan, "Jiuyuan, Jiuchi is your biological brother.
How could he marry such an ordinary girl as his wife? It's better like this.
I will help you find a girl from a similar family to be your legal wife. If your former fiancée is your side wife, it will be considered as a compliment to her! "
"grandfather!"
Not far away, Chu Qi jumped angrily. With her temper, if the other party was not the emperor, she would have gone crazy.
Mr. Chu said calmly: "Why are you so anxious? Your little lover is trying to figure out a solution."
For Song Jiuchi who almost kidnapped his granddaughter, Mr. Chu was no longer as kind as before.
Instead, there was a sense of scrutiny. At least at this moment, he was satisfied with Song Jiuchi's performance.
"emperor."
Song Jiuchi said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The Song family's family motto states that only a man who is forty years old and has no children can take a concubine.
My father and my eldest brother strictly follow the rules, and no one can mess with the rules. "
"Since when did the Song family have this family rule?"
The Dog Emperor was stunned. He still remembered that the old lady of the Song family was carried up.
Otherwise, why would Song Qing have two younger brothers?
Song Qing touched the tip of his nose and said, "Reporting to the Emperor, this is the family rule we set in Jiuzhou."
Speaking of Jiuzhou, Emperor Dog felt quite uncomfortable. After all, everyone knew that it was his intention to exile the Song family.
So he could only cough slightly to cover up and said: "In that case, let's give up."
A successful marriage has already achieved one of his goals.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
Song Qing took Song Jiuchi to express his gratitude. When the two came back and sat down, Song Jiuli glared at Song Jiuchi fiercely.
"Have you already guessed today?"
"yes."
Song Jiuchi didn't lie to her, but made Song Jiuli even more angry.
"Then why didn't you remind me just now?"
"I didn't expect him to push you."
Song Jiuchi admitted that after all, he was focused on Chu Qi and did not notice this.
Song Jiuli was about to lose her temper. Jiang Wan comforted her in a low voice:
"Don't worry, it's still too early to get married. You have plenty of opportunities."
It’s hard to say whether this dog emperor can live that long.
It's just that if a woman remarries later, her reputation will be affected, so the Dog Emperor and the Queen Mother bet that Song Jiuli wouldn't dare to be so deviant.
"I hope so."
Song Jiuli was unhappy all night, thinking of someone's handsome face.
If she had known this, she might as well have listened to her mother and made a marriage arrangement earlier!
It's just a forced marriage. Things are far from over tonight. The singing and dancing are getting better. Song Jiuyuan lowered his voice and said to Jiang Wan:
"Wanwan, Concubine Xiao's suggestion just now has clearly taken into consideration by the Emperor.
If he sends someone to invite you, you should be more thoughtful. "
"I know."
Jiang Wan knew it well. Although he rejected it at the time, the Dog Emperor would not let go of any hope.
But she would not save someone who almost killed her.
The banquet was still being held, and just when Jiang Wan thought she had nothing to do for the time being, the fifth princess suddenly knelt down in the center of the hall.
"Father, my son has someone he likes, please ask him for marriage."
