Xia Luotong couldn't help but laugh. The feeling of rocking the wedding sedan was not pleasant. Being shaken so much in the sedan would make him dizzy even if he didn't vomit.
After chatting about Princess Niya for a while, Xia Luotong looked at Xi Menghan and couldn't help but ask: "How are you and Jin Yu doing?"
Speaking of Mu Jinyu, Xi Menghan was a little angry, but mostly helpless.
"He suddenly came to me that day. I thought he had thought it through, but to my surprise, he still didn't think it through clearly. He didn't tell me the answer. He just kept trying to persuade me not to go to southern Xinjiang."
The corners of her lips were bitter: "But what if I don't go? I don't want to be a bargaining chip for those people to compete for power, and I don't want to put the family in a dilemma, so I must go to clean up the Holy Cult in Southern Xinjiang this time."
Xia Luotong didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh: "I think he actually knows his feelings for you, but he hasn't made a decision yet."
"I know, so I didn't force him. I happened to be on the expedition this time, so let him think about it calmly. I hope he can make a decision before I come back victorious." Xi Menghan's eyes were a little sad, but he soon Got my emotions together.
She was not the kind of person who would be immersed in sadness, nor did she want to change beyond recognition for the sake of love. Although she was surprised to have feelings for Mu Jinyu, it was not something she could control, and she had no regrets.
Xia Luotong saw that Xi Menghan quickly jumped out of her emotions and couldn't help but feel relieved. Whether she could really put it aside or deliberately force herself not to think about it, it was always good.
After three drinks, just when the atmosphere at the wedding banquet reached its climax, the emperor suddenly took advantage of the momentum and spoke.
First, he talked about the spring hunt for assassins for a while, and then the conversation changed and he praised Wu Zechen, who caught the assassin and found out that it was the work of the Southern Xinjiang Holy Cult.
"Thanks to Prince An this time, we were able to quickly find out the truth and catch the assassin. We also persuaded the Valley Master of Baihua Valley to personally take action and go with the army to the Holy Sect in Southern Xinjiang to assist in the suppression mission."
"I should reward Prince An heavily!" The emperor smiled with a smile on his face, and then changed the topic and suddenly said, "However, Prince An's official position has been promoted, and the gold and silver property alone is not enough, so I decided... …”
The emperor paused while he spoke. Many people noticed the situation and looked at Wu Zechen. Some were worried, some were gloating, and some were just watching the fun.
really……
"I have decided to give Prince An another concubine, so that Prince An's palace can flourish and be more lively!"
As soon as the emperor said these words, everyone turned their attention to the seats in Prince An's Mansion, scanning Prince An and Princess An back and forth, trying to see what the couple's reaction would be.
The emperor has always wanted to infiltrate people into Prince An's palace. In fact, many people knew it, but Prince An never let go, and he was always disturbed by other things, so he never succeeded.
But this time, the emperor mentioned it again in the name of reward, which was a good excuse.
Everyone is a little curious, wondering if Prince An can block it this time. If not, there may be another good show in Prince An's mansion next.
But what surprised everyone was that Xia Luotong didn't react at all this time. He just sat quietly, with his head slightly lowered, and the look on his face was unreal.
But her appearance, in the eyes of many people, was a look of helplessness and helplessness.
It seems that Princess An is in trouble this time! After all, the emperor gave the concubine to the concubine in the name of reward!
However, Xia Luotong's lack of reaction did not mean that Wu Zechen did not. Not only did he speak, he also directly rejected the emperor's proposal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. But there is no need to worry about the concubine. I understand the Emperor's kindness. It is my duty to protect the Emperor and protect the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Wu Zechen still looked cold, without any trace of it. Variety.
As soon as Wu Zechen's rejection came out, the smile on the emperor's face faded a bit, and many people looked like they were watching a good show. After all, Wu Zechen had repeatedly refused the emperor's reward for concubines.
In the eyes of many people, she is just a woman. After being brought into the house, it is not up to her to decide what to do.
Why bother with the emperor's face? Wouldn't that be causing trouble for yourself?
But no matter what others think, Wu Zechen will never let other women enter the house. Whether it is for Xia Luotong's safety or Xia Luotong's mood, he will not allow such a thing to happen.
"It is precisely because Prince An is our great hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty that I cannot treat you so poorly. Otherwise, how can I convince the public?"
The emperor's tone was a little oppressive, but Wu Zechen still looked indifferent, and even his tone did not change at all.
"If others want to reward you, that is their business. I only care about the Great Zhou Dynasty and don't care about these things. If the emperor really wants to reward you with something, then it is better to just reward him with some money as he said at the beginning. "
"How can money be compared to having a caring person? Besides, having an heir to Prince An's palace is a big deal, but now you don't have any descendants. What does it look like?" The emperor said, looking at Charlotte with dissatisfaction. Tong.
The meaning in that look was clearly blaming Xia Luotong for controlling the backyard of Prince An's Mansion and not allowing new people to enter. This was why Wu Zechen still had no descendants.
When Wu Zechen saw that the emperor was deliberately pointing the finger at Xia Luotong, he immediately took over the conversation without hesitation and continued: "If I have offspring, it is better for me to be a direct descendant. Could it be that the emperor has forgotten that the princess is already pregnant and is now more than four years old?" With Yue’s pregnancy, the palace will soon have an heir.”
His words are undoubtedly telling everyone that the child born by Xia Luotong is his heir, and this heir can only be born by Xia Luotong. Even if this child is not a boy, it will be the next child. .
As soon as these words came out, many ladies looked at them with envy or jealousy, but there were also many people who were trying to reduce their sense of existence. Because Prince An refused the emperor's rewards one after another, it would be difficult for the emperor not to be angry. .
Sure enough, in front of so many people, the emperor, who had been rejected repeatedly, no longer smiled at all.
"It is precisely because the princess is pregnant that I gave the concubine to you. You, Prince An, are my great heroes. How can you wrong yourself like this?"
Having said that, the emperor did not give Wu Zechen a chance to speak, and directly said in a commanding tone: "I have already selected a candidate, the legitimate daughter of the household minister's family, let's choose a date to get married."
