The prince's deep dark eyes could not hide his joy, and he kept turning the jade ring on his thumb.
Miss Zhen has the ability to turn sand into gold. Even if she treats him as a pervert, he will still work hard to complete system tasks.
Didn't you just call him a pervert?
He is a dignified prince of a country. For the sake of the people of Li and the future of great prosperity for generations to come, the prince can hold a boat in his belly and can still bear a scolding. He was arguing with a little lady, but he ended up in a disadvantageous position.
Didn’t Mrs. Chao Guogong want to send her to the East Palace?
Let her in!
Six sedans were brought in.
Didn’t Mrs. Chao Guogong hint that her mother-in-law wanted to be the Liang Di?
No need to ask, just give it!
Miss Zhen's talents and virtues are enough to be his good wife.
Even his first son can be given to her!
It would be best for his eldest son to be a gentleman and love money like him. In the future, the father and mother will count their money together...
Thinking too far ahead.
The prince sighed sadly.
Then what is going on with Miss Zhen? Why can she not be tempted at all and not come to attack him when he is a noble man like Yuezhi Yuanting and Yushu Linfeng?
As long as you are not interested in his money or his power, he is still worthy of the little lady's heart, right?
Last night, New Year's Eve, both Minister Zhen and Mrs. Chao Guogong invited her, but she declined both of them and refused to enter the palace. It seemed that she was really not attracted to him at all, and she politely refused the position of Liangdi.
However, he is a gentleman, and what he did by eating the remaining wine and drinking the remaining tea was considered a bad thing, and he could not really commit the crime of robbing a common woman.
After a while, Feng Youxi returned to the study: "Your Highness, everything is ready. Is it time to enter the palace?"
"Walk."
The prince stood up.
Feng Youxi put a big cloak on him.
Walking on the palace road, the prince suddenly asked: "Feng Youxi, how about raising a dog in the East Palace?"
Feng Youxi was confused for a moment. Why did he suddenly want to raise a dog?
Hasn’t His Highness been afraid of dogs since childhood?
When I was a child, I was chased and bitten by a dog, and almost lost my life.
Since then, the palace has not kept any dogs.
After Song Jian of Duke Chao's palace knew about his weakness, he quietly raised a "little cutie".
For this matter, Chao Guogong beat and scolded the dog, and wanted to beat the dog to death. Song Jian used his own leg to protect the dog and said, "Father wants to kill the little cutie, so he should break my leg too."
Duke Chao was so angry that he became seriously ill and did not go to court for three days.
The father and son broke up, and later Chao Guogong sent him to Wuqi Academy, out of sight.
"Your Highness, why do you want to keep a dog?"
The prince said nothing.
Why?
Dogs can eat leftovers from humans, which should give her a sense of security.
"..."
The prince's steps faltered.
Feng Youxi hurriedly asked: "Did your Highness forget something?"
"It's nothing, I don't want to keep a dog anymore." The prince was silent for a while, then he continued walking with long strides.
What to raise?
In the eyes of other ladies, what is the difference between him and a dog?
Before, he was angry that Zhen Qingyin fed his snacks to the dog and ruined his mood. He didn't even react. Zhen Qingyin secretly called him a dog.
Feng Youxi later realized that he remembered Zhen Qingyin and the dog, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you want to raise a dog for the sake of Miss Zhen?"
"Zhen Qingyin? How can she deserve Gu to change her principles for her?" The prince was angry, raised his foot and kicked Feng Youxi on the butt, "I am the prince, and you are the chief steward of Gu. Can you think about national affairs in your mind all day long? Just like those rotten literati, they are just imagining things!"
Feng Youxi: "..."
Why is it "Zhen Qingyin" again?
He is a rootless eunuch, what national affairs does he want to do? Does he dare to think?
Your Highness is acting strangely today.
We were separated by half the capital, and we hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, so it was really cool that Miss Ren Zhen could still offend him.
The prince first went to the Yuchun Palace of the imperial concubine, and then went to the Kunyi Palace of the queen with the imperial concubine.
Last night, New Year's Eve, according to palace regulations and etiquette, the emperor should rest in the queen's palace, which symbolizes the emperor's love, the harmony of the universe, and the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
However, even if there were no such palace rules, the emperor would rest in Kunyi Palace.
After Zwei Ji was crowned the crown prince, the emperor no longer held drafts or rested in the palaces of other concubines. Unless he rested in the Nanxun Palace during busy state affairs, he rested in the queen's palace.
The ministers impeached the emperor, and the emperor let himself go, claiming that he was too old to give birth to a little prince or princess, and asked the ministers to put the pressure of reproducing the royal family on the prince and the fifth prince.
Therefore, when the prince was only thirteen years old, he was often urged by ministers to marry concubines and have children.
The emperor has the potential to become a tyrant. The concubines in the harem have seen "big scenes" and are very peaceful. They are not summoned on the first day of the new year and will not rashly disturb the emperor's "family of four".
The prince knelt down, upright and respectfully, and knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to the emperor and the imperial concubine, offered New Year's greetings, and then presented New Year's gifts.
The queen saw that each of the three elders' New Year's gifts contained a red lacquer box with the same appearance. She opened it out of curiosity, shook her hand, and asked hurriedly: "Prince, where did you get the banknote? Could it be that you robbed some corrupt official's house?"
The emperor and the imperial concubine also opened their respective boxes and neatly filled them with silver notes.
After counting, there are one hundred thousand taels each!
The imperial concubine was surprised.
Emperor Longyan was delighted, raised his eyebrows, but quickly calmed down.
The prince smiled and said: "Mother, how dare I send the stolen money from the house to the three elders? This is what I earned. It's clean. My father, the queen and my concubine, feel free to use it. If it's not enough, I'll send someone to ask." My son, take it."
The emperor asked: "Did you make money from selling that glass? I heard that at the end of last year, everyone in the capital was talking about Linglong Pavilion and glass. Long queues lined up in various prefectures to buy them every day, which alarmed Jingzhao Mansion to send people to maintain order. "
The prince said with a gentle smile: "Exactly, I was lucky enough to get the recipe for making colored glaze, and I was able to earn money all thanks to my father's support for me. Therefore, I received the dividend from Linglong Pavilion. First of all, The first thing that comes to mind is to honor your father, the emperor, your mother, your queen, and your concubines."
The emperor patted the prince on the shoulder: "The prince has grown up and knows how to honor his parents, hahaha! My father also has good news for you."
The prince's smile froze: "Father, please speak."
He didn't hear the slightest hint of good news in advance. It was usually his father's whim, which may not be good news for him.
The emperor said earnestly: "The prince is nineteen years old. At your age, I have already married your mother, but you are clean and you don't have a caring person who knows the cold and the hot. I have decided to start the spring of this year to select a beautiful girl. Enter the palace and select a few gentle and virtuous concubines for you."
The prince twitched his lips: "Father, there is no need to go through such trouble for your son, my son..."
"Hey," the emperor intercepted his words and refused to refute, "it is a man's responsibility to carry on the family line, and it is also the responsibility of the prince. It is related to the country and the country. When you have a woman, you will know the beauty of warm fragrant nephrite, and you will not Don’t be so resistant again.”
Zhen Qingyin's face flashed in the prince's mind, and the two small pear dimples on her lips flashed.
Alas, this girl's Liangdi still had to be saved by him.
Let’s put the dog thing aside for now.
He bowed respectfully, his smile unchanged: "Father, don't worry, I am not against women, but I want to imitate my father and marry a woman who is in love with me as the crown prince.
However, the emperor’s father’s wishes are also important to his children. It is not like this. Before marrying a concubine, the son and minister should take a concubine first. During the spring hunting next year, the father can order all the officials to bring their families, and the sons and ministers will take a closer look and choose a young lady who is honest and responsible.
