In the Qinzheng Hall, all five princes were present.
Emperor Mu was leaning on the dragon couch, his facial features had lost some of his majesty, and his tone was calm and lazy: "The Queen held a flower-viewing banquet in the Peony Garden today, with the purpose of choosing a princess for the seventh and eighth children. If you two have something in mind, If you like someone, you can tell me and I will consider marrying you. If you don't particularly like it, I and the queen will consider it later and match you with a suitable one."
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince knelt down to express their gratitude: "Back to the Father, the marriage of the children and ministers will be decided by the Father and the Queen."
Emperor Mu looked at them silently and nodded slowly: "You can go to the peony garden later, just don't scare these delicate little girls."
"yes."
"Rong Cang." Emperor Mu turned his eyes slightly and looked at Rong Cang, who looked indifferent and distant. "Your fourth and sixth emperor brothers have concubines. There is only one principal concubine in your house for the time being. Today, each family All the ladies are here, I want to point out a concubine for you, look..."
"My son does not want to marry a concubine." Rong Cang said calmly and rejected Emperor Mu's proposal without hesitation.
"Huh?" Emperor Mu was surprised, "Why?"
"There is a fierce wife at home who is very jealous, and the sons and ministers do not want to live in peace at home." Rong Cang looked calm, as if he was just talking about ordinary housework, without any sense of self-consciousness that a prince should have.
Emperor Mu was speechless for a moment: "..."
"I didn't expect that the ninth brother is still henpecked." King Chen turned to look at him with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Father's will is irreversible. No matter how strong the ninth brother and sister are, how can they defeat thousands of troops? Just one princess can do it. It makes me feel strange that the prince who holds 400,000 troops can compromise."
"Brother Sixth Emperor needs to use thousands of troops to deal with his wife at home?" Rong Cang looked at her coldly, "Or is it that as a man, you always like to use violence to make people surrender?"
King Chen's expression changed: "Why do Ninth Brother talk like this? Why did I ever mean this?"
Rong Cang ignored him and said directly to Emperor Mu: "My son is in charge of the army. I don't have much free time to devote to my daughter's love. Yun Fei is very good. There is no need for other women to join the Zhan Prince's Palace."
Emperor Mu frowned and looked at him melancholy.
He was originally worried that Chu Yunfei would be unhappy, but now it's over. Princess Zhan doesn't know yet, so Rong Cang refused first.
very nice.
The Rong family actually gave birth to a devoted prince.
Emperor Mu rubbed his brows and said, "The granddaughter of Taifu Qin's family, Miss Zhilan, is pretty good. I have discussed her marriage with the queen recently and I always feel that based on her background, she should be given to the prince, but her status is not suitable for being a side chick." Concubine, if you give me the rations to Lao Qi and Lao Ba——"
"Father, you are so generous." The seventh prince felt anxious and spoke quickly, "My son is not good at literature and martial arts. He is really not worthy of the Qin family girl. Please understand, father."
The eighth prince nodded repeatedly: "I am a useless person, and I dare not even think about the pearl of the Qin family. Please take a closer look."
Emperor Mu was silent and turned to King Chen: "Rong Chen, what do you think of the Qin family girl?"
King Chen replied: "Miss Qin is knowledgeable and sensible, has a gentle and tolerant temperament, and is a talented woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Whoever can marry this girl will be truly lucky."
Emperor Mu hummed: "Rong Cang, what do you think?"
Rong Cang said indifferently: "My son is not familiar with her."
Emperor Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Prince Yu.
"Miss Qin is indeed good." Prince Yu replied first, and then said, "But I don't agree with what the ninth brother said. The ninth brother said that he is not familiar with Miss Qin. How come I heard that Miss Qin once visited Prince Zhan's Mansion? Ninth brother."
"The information from the Fourth Emperor Brother is not accurate. The person she came to visit was the princess." Rong Cang's face became colder, "I am not familiar with her."
Emperor Mu wondered: "What is she doing with Princess Zhan?"
He remembered that Taifu Qin's family and the Chu family had never interacted with each other.
"I don't know." Rong Cang narrowed his eyes, "I didn't ask."
"Didn't you ask?" Prince Yu smiled, with an obvious expression of disbelief, "Princess Zhan and Miss Qin have never interacted. Miss Qin came to Prince Zhan's house in person, didn't she go there for the ninth brother? Even if the ninth brother didn't ask, Shouldn’t the ninth younger brother and sister take the initiative to tell you?”
"What do you want to know?" Rong Cang looked at him coldly, "Brother Four Emperors is so interested in things in my house, why not move to my house and live for a few days?"
King Yu's face froze and he was speechless.
"What's the fuss about?" Emperor Mu frowned and looked at them displeased, "Rong Cang, I also want to know what Miss Qin is doing at Prince Zhan's Mansion."
King Chen's eyes flashed slightly: "Father, since the ninth brother doesn't want to say anything, then——"
Emperor Mu said coldly: "I want to know."
Rong Cang was silent for a moment, and his voice did not distinguish between emotion and anger: "When Erchen married Yun Fei, it probably surprised many people. Some people still think that she is not worthy of Erchen, but my father should know that in terms of status, Erchen I am indeed much taller than Yun Fei, but her temperament and skills are beyond the reach of ordinary women. I am very lucky to be able to marry her."
Emperor Mu narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "It's true. Yun Fei's background is a bit low. In other aspects, she is not inferior to a serious noble girl from a noble family, or even worse."
"Erchen thinks so too." Rong Cang said calmly, "And she will never take the initiative to come in front of anyone, criticize other people's husband-wife relationships, and self-righteously accuse who is not worthy of whom."
Emperor Mu heard what he meant.
Chu Yunfei was not of high birth, but she had a noble character. She treated her husband wholeheartedly and never interfered with other people's housework. She would not feel inferior because of her background. She did not show weakness at all when she should be strong.
Some women were of noble birth and thought they were talented and well-educated, but they liked to criticize other people's marriages, and even bluntly said that Chu Yunfei was not good enough for Rong Cang.
Is this person talking about Qin Zhilan?
Emperor Mu's eyebrows were deep and he tapped the table without saying a word. As for why Qin Zhilan came to the door suddenly and said these words, except that he wanted to replace Chu Yunfei, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
King Chen and King Yu also understood.
King Chen's expression darkened: "Ninth brother, Miss Qin was born into a noble family. Her grandfather was a highly respected tutor in the dynasty. Her character and talent can stand the test. Your specious words are really inappropriate."
Rong Cang gave a cold look.
Emperor Mu raised his hand to stop: "There is no need to argue anymore, this topic ends here."
"yes."
Emperor Mu stood up from the couch: "Let's go, follow me to the imperial garden. We won't discuss government affairs today, just relax and relax."
