Chapter 162: Prince, you must not
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
Everyone shouted and saluted.
Kangxi's red eyes were filled with incense and condolences.
The mourning hall was very "lively" just now, but now everyone is no longer chatting indifferently, and they are crying and sad.
Especially the officials and relatives who arrived after the two bachelors all looked sad and wanted to go with Shi Wenbing.
Who is spreading the rumors in the capital?
Why does the emperor not value the Guarjia family and want to cancel the engagement between the prince and the Shi family?
Fake, all fake.
Now even the emperor has come in person.
They really wanted to kill those who spread rumors and themselves who believed in rumors.
The emperor completed the formalities, listened to the reports from Yisang'a and Zhang Yushu, and took care of Shi Wenzhuo and other nephews of the Guarjia family.
Then, after he glanced around, he only saw Si Age and his wife, who were not standing close to each other and looked calm with a hint of sadness.
His eyes fell on Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu, who looked a little flustered. The emperor looked cryptic: "You are here, what about the two of them?"
Shi Wenzhuo said: "As for the emperor, the prince and elder brother have just arrived."
Just been here? Where is this person?
The emperor frowned: "Why, aren't you going to invite them back?"
People around him thought that Shi Wenzhuo was cowardly and deaf, with no enthusiasm and ambition. He was just a straw bag sheltered by his father and brother.
This idiot actually knows how to apply eye drops in front of the emperor.
However, after all, the Guarjia family wanted to marry the prince, so it was enough to involve the eldest brother at this time. Why did the prince also have to be involved?
Of course, the prince is not here at this time, which is really unreasonable.
The emperor could not completely ignore the prince's face at this time, so he asked the eldest brother to be called over.
The two of them were punished together so that they could protect the prince from the storm.
Why didn't the eldest brother, the eldest brother, set a good example?
Unexpectedly, the third elder brother, who was always polite, never came to express his condolences. On the contrary, the fourth elder brother, whom he originally thought was indifferent, turned out to be affectionate.
Did he understand the status of the Three Banners in the emperor's heart before he came here?
Those who listened to the rumors were all idiots. As an emperor, how could he give up the Zhengbai Banner subordinates who were directly under his jurisdiction.
If they hadn't spread the word so outrageously, there would still be many people who would believe it.
The emperor saw that even the prince was a little affected, so he called Yisang A into the palace overnight to draft a posthumous title for Shi Wenbing.
It was specifically to create momentum for the Guarjia family.
Of course, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to see who was badmouthing the Zhengbai flag and who was despising the imperial power, so he did not let the news out in advance.
It is normal for people in the world to follow the trend of others, but once a capable minister passed away, the emperor felt chilled by the courtiers looking down on him so much.
The prince who was raised by himself didn't seem to like the princess he personally selected, and the emperor felt sad.
I thought about it in the palace, then went to Cining Palace to sit for a while, and then left the palace to express my condolences in person.
But when he really didn't see the prince present, Kangxi's heart still sank.
Only when he saw the handsome and cold face of Si Age and the elegant Si Fujin next to him, he still felt a little comforted. He waved: "Yin Zhen, Si Fujin, when did you come here?"
The fourth elder brother and his wife came forward and saluted: "As for Huihan Ama, we have been here for a while. The prince and the eldest elder brother thought they came because of the rice seeds, so they were anxious..."
"Let them speak for themselves later, you don't have to defend them." The emperor didn't want to hear it, "Our Aixinjueluo family has been married to the Guarjia family for many generations, so Yinzhen is bound to come. Sifujin, why don't you come here too? Already?"
Lu Pheasant then replied: "As for Khan Amma, my daughter-in-law's eldest brother Uranara Fuchan has just married Lord Shi Wenzhuo's daughter, so my daughter-in-law will definitely come."
The emperor was stunned in his heart. He had overestimated Brother Si's vision.
It turns out that I came here because of my wife.
But this wife is the right one to marry, and he has always had good taste.
The prince still doesn't know how good Mr. Shi is, but in the future the prince will definitely be grateful to his old father.
We have to take advantage of today, we can't let the prince and the future princess separate.
When the emperor spoke, Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu sent people to shout.
The prince and elder brother came very quickly.
The eldest brother was not anxious at all, and she was not his future daughter-in-law.
Khan Amma just wanted to scold him, and he must be scolding the prince.
For this reason, he deliberately delayed along the way and made sarcastic remarks: "I've already left. What's the prince worried about now? After all, she is the daughter-in-law you will marry, so there is no rush at this moment."
The prince didn't even bother to remind his stupid brother.
The emperor personally went to Guarjia's house to express his condolences. How much attention does this represent?
The eldest brother has never been there before and made the same mistake as himself.
He hasn't found out yet.
Then just wait to be scolded.
The two most noble princes in the dynasty appeared at Gualjia's house again.
This time his expression was different from before. He changed from contempt to the same sadness.
When entering the house, the emperor happened to pay a visit to Mr. Shi Huashan who was seriously ill.
The eldest brother thought he wasted his expression, so he moved closer to the fourth brother to see what they were drinking.
The nephews and nephews in the mourning hall didn't eat or drink. How could the fourth elder brother have anything to drink?
Of course, the fourth elder brother and his wife would not tell the silly elder brother that he was taking advantage of the emperor's favor and that he only had a cup of herbal tea after being here for so long.
The prince still maintained a sad expression, but this time he saw in his eyes the haggard and somewhat beautiful future Crown Princess Shi.
Yinreng softened his voice and said: "There was something wrong with Daozhong just now, and Gu left for a while. These days, because of other things, I couldn't come to express my condolences in time. Miss Shi didn't blame me in her heart, right?"
Shi raised his head and looked at him.
In the past, when she looked directly at the prince's handsome face, she was always a little shy.
Today, in front of her biological father's coffin, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her, even though he was covered in brocade clothes, could not hide the stench of a rotten heart beneath him.
She didn't expect that she and the prince could be like the fourth elder brother and his wife, who had a tacit understanding of each other, and the husband sang and the wife followed.
Not to mention, he could be as lucky as his cousin. Uranala Fuchan was not as noble as the princes, but he was generous, gentle and kind to his wife.
There is tenderness and sweetness between husband and wife, and that's why my cousin has such a charming smile.
She only hopes that she can gain the respect of her future husband.
As long as the prince is a humble gentleman as taught by the emperor.
In this way, even if the prince doesn't like her in his heart, he will obey his teachings and give his first wife due respect.
But the prince was willing to accept her solely for the sake of the emperor's orders.
Only when he was under the pressure of imperial power was he willing to greet her with a smile.
He is like this before they are married. How contemptuous will it be if they are married?
Shi couldn't imagine it.
Her silence was replaced by the prince's increasingly gentle voice: "Don't worry, since Khan Amma has made an engagement for you and me, I will definitely welcome you into Yuqing Palace next year."
Shi's immediate reaction was: "It has been a custom since ancient times that you cannot get married during the period of filial piety. Prince, absolutely not."
