Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 27

[Chapter 27 Asking for a Marriage (1)]

Queen Qiao cried for a while, and slowly calmed down, wiping away the tears with a handkerchief.

He asked carefully about the situation of the second prince accompanying the army this time.

The second prince’s eyes flashed and his expression was light: “I followed General Li to plan the military rations and shipments, but did not lead the troops into battle. On the contrary, the elder brother fought several victorious battles with the father, killed more than twenty rogue bandits, and stood up a lot. Military merit.”

Queen Qiao couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Emperor Yongjia’s heart is really biased.

When the first prince went out with the army for the first time, he led his troops into battle.

There are personal guards guarding him, and he shoots and kills a few rogue bandits.

As soon as it came out, he became the eldest prince “naturally brave” and “good at leading troops”.

In fact, this reputation is deliberately held up by everyone.

When it was the second prince’s turn to go out with the army for the first time, he was sent to the military supply logistics.

Even if you want to make merit, there is no chance.

On the contrary, the second prince fell off his horse and was slightly injured on the return journey, and the talkative people in the palace had something to talk about.

Queen Qiao cheered up and said in a low voice, “Ajing, a few days ago, I held a banquet in the palace, and all the ladies with outstanding family backgrounds and appearances entered the palace. I think a few are good…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the second prince: “The queen mother fell in love with Meng Yunluo, the daughter of the Marquis of Guangping?”

Queen Joe: “…”

Queen Qiao was dumbfounded, looking at the second prince who looked unpredictable: “How did you guess?”

She was thinking about this marriage in her heart and never told anyone.

When Princess Jing’an asked, she also perfunctory and never mentioned her real plans.

The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good move.

The eldest prince’s biggest reliance is that one is the emperor’s favor, the other is Concubine Meng in the palace, and the Marquis of Guangping outside the palace.

If the second prince marries the daughter of the Marquis of Guangping, the Marquis of Guangping becomes the son’s father-in-law.

No matter how good a nephew is, how can he be his own son-in-law?

Through marriage, win over the Meng family.

The second prince is a direct descendant, and the civil servants who value orthodoxy are naturally the help of the second prince. If there is more support from the Marquis of Guangping in the army, who else can compete with the second prince?

Never thought that her thoughts were revealed by the second prince.

The second prince looked at Empress Qiao, his voice slightly lowered: “Mother and son are connected. What is the mother thinking? As a son, I can always guess a few points.”

Queen Qiao had a smile on her face: “Since you guessed it, I won’t hide it from you. I really fell in love with the daughter of the Meng family.” Then, she explained her plan in detail.

Without saying a word, he was interrupted by the second prince: “Mother, please give up this idea! I won’t marry Meng Yunluo!”

Queen Joe: “…”

Queen Qiao was stunned and speechless, that strange feeling came to her mind again.

In just a few months, the second prince has changed a lot.

The humble and gentle jade-like youth in the past has become cold and decisive.

“Why?” Queen Qiao couldn’t help frowning: “Do you already have a girl you like?”

and many more!

Could it be the Chinese-Italian Qiao Wan?

Queen Qiao’s thoughts changed, and she was about to ask a tentative question when she heard the second prince say lightly: “I do have a favorite candidate for the prince and concubine in my heart. This matter, the mother and queen don’t have to worry about it. I will ask the father and the emperor in private tonight. Marry the girl you want.”

The last few words are meaningful.

Queen Qiao still wanted to ask in detail, the second prince had already surrendered and left.

Queen Joe: “…”

The son is older and has his own ideas and opinions.

Not even discussing with her.

Queen Qiao couldn’t tell whether she should be happy or disappointed.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

…

Emperor Yongjia was away from Beijing for several months, delaying many government affairs.

Busy all day, and when it gets dark, it will stop.

The servant Liu Gonggong stepped forward respectfully: “It’s getting late, it’s time for dinner.”

Emperor Yongjia thought for a while and said, “No need, go directly to Yanxi Palace. I will have dinner together at the imperial concubine’s place.”

On the first night of returning to the palace,

Staying in Jiaofang Hall is also considered to be the face of Queen Qiao.

Tonight, Emperor Yongjia was going to Concubine Meng’s bedroom.

Eunuch Liu replied with a smile, but before he left, Eunuch Ma entered the Wenhua Hall to report, “Report to the Emperor, the Second Prince and the Third Prince have something to see.”

The sons are here, and they can’t be seen.

Emperor Yongjia said casually: “Announce them to come in.”

Eunuch Ma coughed and replied in a low voice: “His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have important matters, and want to see the Emperor alone.”

Emperor Yongjia: “…”

The bastards haven’t grown all their hairs yet, but there are quite a few flower heads.

Emperor Yongjia thought for a while, then sat back: “Well, let’s call in one by one.”

Eunuch Ma opened his mouth and was about to step back when he heard Emperor Yongjia say again: “The third prince Xuan will enter the hall.”

Eunuch Ma was stunned for a moment, and quickly exchanged glances with Eunuch Liu.

What the second prince said in the morning really annoyed Emperor Yongjia.

Therefore, Emperor Yongjia deliberately called the third prince first and gave the second prince a shame.

After a while, the third prince, Li Hao, stepped into the hall and saluted: “My son has seen the father and emperor.”

As a father, there is no reason not to love your son.

The five fingers have lengths, and they are all their own.

Emperor Yongjia said with a smile: “No ceremony and level.”

Li Hao said respectfully, “Thanks to the emperor. UU read www.sonicmtl.com” and then stood up straight.

“You came to see me on purpose, do you have something to ask me?”

Facing his son in private, Emperor Yongjia didn’t put on an emperor’s posture.

At this time, Emperor Yongjia was like all the fathers in the world, with a little connivance in his gentle smile: “Just open your mouth, I will support you and call the shots.”

Li Hao’s heart was filled with heat.

Yes, as a son, it is only right and proper for you to ask your father for something.

“Royal father, my son is asking for something.” A dark red flashed across Li Haojun’s face, and his tone was firm: “My son has a favorite girl, I beg the father to marry him.”

Emperor Yongjia suddenly became interested and asked with a smile, “Which girl did you like? Tell me.”

Li Hao’s eyes gleamed: “The daughter of King Xingyang, Lu Mingyu.” Without waiting for Emperor Yongjia to ask questions, he took the initiative to talk about his relationship two years ago.

Emperor Yongjia also came here when he was young. Looking at his son’s gleaming eyes, he smiled and said, “I already know what you said. However, when it comes to granting marriage, we must first ask what King Xingyang means. You go back first and wait until I ask.”

Li Hao didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, and was overjoyed. He immediately knelt down and banged his head three times: “Thank you, Father, for your accomplishment.”

Emperor Yongjia laughed dumbly: “Okay, let’s step back first!”

Li Hao left with brisk steps.

After a while, the second prince was summoned into the Wenhua Hall.

The second prince bowed his hands in a salute, elegant and impeccable.

As soon as he saw that handsome and jade-like calm and steady face, Emperor Yongjia’s suppressed anger surged in his heart, and his voice sank slightly: “You want to see me, what’s the matter?”

The second prince raised his eyes: “My son wants to ask the emperor to marry him.”

Emperor Yongjia: “…”
