Chapter 16
In the Jingxin Room, Concubine Song looked at her silly son in front of her and said, "Your Majesty is wise and just. If you can do things with loyalty and sincerity, no matter how bad it is, it is good to be loyal to the best."
I only hope that my son will be foolish and reckless, and will be a minister without any disasters. This sentence is Song Taifei's true thoughts.
It's lovable that King Dai's biological son is stupid. Princess Song didn't even think about raising her own son to be smart. There is no shortage of smart people in the royal family. The most likely thing is that the smart people are misled by their smart people.
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son will never tell lies in front of the emperor. I will listen to your instructions and act with loyalty." Li Lang was not stupid, he was just an innocent child raised by his biological mother, Princess Song. Click.
"I hope you really understand and are not pretending to be stupid." Song Taifei said.
"I really understand." Li Lang responded.
"You idiot." Concubine Song reached out and tapped her son's forehead lightly.
"Since you are really capable, show your skills to this palace. Go, you go and ask for a marriage from the emperor now. Say that you want to marry the eldest daughter of Duke Sui, and ask the emperor to grant the marriage." Song Taifei pointed at the door of the house. , and immediately assigned an errand to his son.
"Ah." Li Tang was stunned on the spot.
After Li Lang realized what his mother asked him to do, he found the reason he thought was important and replied: "My cousin wants to run for the general election, and the ladder to heaven is still there. My son cannot hinder my cousin's rapid rise."
"You are so stupid." After Princess Song glared at her son with a look that looked like a fool, she gently shook her head.
"The eldest daughter of Duke Sui really wants to participate in the general election. Today, Duke Sui's wife will come to see me, and she will also let the so-called cousins meet. Do you really think that this is an ordinary relationship between relatives?" Song Taifei asked in return. .
Li Lang also heard something strange. He looked at his mother and concubine and asked, "Could it be possible..." After he started speaking, he stopped midway.
"I have some knowledge about this matter today." Song Taifei and her best friend Zhao Linlang have been friends for many years. There are some little hints that don’t need to be said out loud.
If Concubine Song followed her behavior in previous years, she would definitely find a way to approach Empress Dowager Song. After asking for the Queen Mother's decree, the royal family granted a marriage contract, and both families were honored.
But today, when the emperor comes to Daxiangguo Temple, things cannot be handled as usual. Concubine Song had to make her own son Li Fang firm in his position. When everything was at stake, she must first seek the emperor's attitude.
"You go and ask the Emperor for a marriage. Whether the Emperor agrees or not is another matter. Your attitude and sincerity are the most important thing." Song Taifei sighed with emotion.
"I want you to go, not to grant a marriage. The real reason is to tell the emperor that I met with the Duke's wife in Jingxinzhai today. It's purely for the sake of a junior, and there is no other intention." Concubine Song confided. Voice.
"I had no intention of doing anything else." Li Lang replied openly.
Concubine Song looked at her stupid son. She would not admit it. She was really selfish. She just wanted her son to get a good marriage.
In the eyes of Princess Song, the eldest daughter of Duke Sui was a perfect match for her own son Li Fang, regardless of her family background or character.
As for the palace’s attitude?
The empress dowagers of the two palaces must have wished that their eldest daughter could not be chosen. Who allowed the empress dowagers of the two palaces to raise a prince born from their niece?
The eldest son and the second son of the emperor, these two princes had too many things placed on them. Nowadays, the empress dowagers of the two palaces are fighting for the position of the crown prince of the East Palace.
Concubine Song came to Daxiangguo Temple to pray. On the one hand, she sincerely wanted to worship the Buddha, and on the other hand, she came simply to seek refuge.
The empress dowagers of the two palaces started a fight. Concubine Song, who lived in the palace, gave her sister the concubine Song too much blame. Song Taifei was a little exhausted mentally and physically, and then Song Taifei had exactly the same attitude as her own son Li Lang when they encountered difficulties. They pretended to be dumbfounded and started to behave badly.
After receiving instructions from his mother and concubine, Li Fang left Jingxinzhai with all his worries.
Not in a hurry to find the emperor's brother, Li Fang first sent a message to his cousin Jia Yuanniang.
In the guest courtyard of Daxiangguo Temple, Li Lang was invited in a small Zen room.
"cousin."
"cousin."
Across a screen, they could vaguely see each other's figure, and they bowed to each other. After that, Li Fang went straight to the point and asked straight to the point: "My mother-in-law likes my cousin and wants to be my daughter-in-law. Cousin, are you willing?"
"..." Jia Yuanniang was silent.
She wanted to beat the idiot in front of her. After a long time, Jia Yuanniang replied with six words: "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words."
"I understand." Li Lang bowed his hands, then said goodbye and left.
After meeting Jia's cousin and getting the answer he wanted, Li Fang went to find his brother Li Heng.
Waiting to see the imperial brother who was sitting in the room meditating, Li Lang walked forward and greeted him respectfully.
"No courtesy." Li Heng pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."
"Don't dare to sit down yet, my brother has something to say." Li Fang quickly expressed his attitude.
"Speak." Li Heng replied.
"Your Majesty, my younger brother would like to ask for a betrothal marriage." Li Fang briefly explained the meeting between his mother and his concubine with the Duke's wife. The key problem is the Jia family's cousin. He fell in love with her at first sight and was delighted with her.
"Love at first sight?" Li Heng smiled.
"Love at first sight." Li Lang confirmed.
Li Heng was sure that he was his biological brother in front of him, or he was still acting stupidly as usual. This was some kind of love at first sight, it was obviously love at first sight, he was lusting after her beauty.
"The concubine you marry must always satisfy you." Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you asked for."
"Brother Emperor, do you agree or reject it?" Li Fang looked confused. He didn't understand.
Li Heng didn't reply. He waved his hand and signaled the Third Emperor's brother to step back.
The emperor wanted to be alone for a while. Regarding the marriage proposal requested by the third emperor's younger brother, the emperor neither agreed nor denied it. He needs to think again about the pros and cons.
The emperor didn't want to give a clear answer for a while. Dai Wang had no choice but to leave with his head full of conjectures.
The sky was dark, night was rising, and the emperor was sleeping in a Zen courtyard in the Daxiangguo Temple.
Sandalwood curls up, and moonlight shines into the house from the window. The emperor who was sleeping on the couch seemed to be having a nightmare. There was sweat on his forehead, his lips were pursed, and he made no sound.
"Woof..."
"Woo..."
Jia Sanniang was coaxing the puppy Fu Bao. She didn't know if she had suffered a crime or a fright during the day. This little guy didn't sleep at night. He cuddled up next to Jia Sanniang and whimpered like a little monster.
"Girl, it's too late. You should go and rest first. Fu Bao will be taken care of by the slaves." The eldest maid Shuxiang advised.
"Girl, Shuxiang is right. You go and have a rest. This little ancestor, Fubao, is a treasure in your heart. The slaves must take good care of him." The eldest maid Mo Xiang also advised.
Jia Sanniang glanced at Fu Bao, who was staring at her master with a pitiful little look.
"Little guy, be good." Jia Sanniang stretched out her hand and petted the dog again.
Then, by some mistake or intuition, Jia Sanniang casually glanced at the label on Fubao with her golden finger.

Jia Sanniang thought to herself, this is really going to kill you.
