Chapter 147(1/2)
The third prince Xiao Chengyi looked confused.
Zhong Shuhao suddenly arrived and asked him another question that he was caught off guard. He was stunned.
"I don't understand what you mean. You mean, Shuyun and I have an engagement with her?"
Since you don't understand, then ask clearly.
Xiao Chengyi was very calm.
Zhong Shuhao said solemnly: "My mother is discussing marriage with the Queen and wants Shuyun to make a couple with you. The Queen has always refused to give you the right words. I came here to ask you what you think and what your attitude towards Shuyun is to my family. Shuyun is not thinking about food for you, and I am my brother, and I can't bear to see her being tossed by the marriage. Is it OK, please give me a word."
Xiao Chengyi understood.
However, he was a little confused, "My cousin Shuyun is not joking with me... you are not joking."
Zhong Shuhao was so stern, "I'm so bored that I ran so far just to joke with you. I don't believe how Shuyun is doing to you, you really don't feel anything."
Xiao Chengyi lowered his head and was silent.
Zhong Shuhao's bad temper, "You're giving you a correct word! If you are willing to marry Shuyun, you will come forward to fight for it. I think the Empress must respect your opinion. If you don't want to, then give Shuyun a letter and simply reject her."
Xiao Chengyi smiled bitterly when he heard this.
He clasped his fists and said thank you, "Thank you for telling you the truth, otherwise I will always be in the dark. My cousin Shuyun has deep affection and is it because I failed her. She is willing to do so, how can I be ruthless? I am willing to marry her!"
Zhong Shuhao opened his mouth wide, and it was his turn to be confused this time.
He thought he would receive the rejection, and was ready to be rejected, and he also thought about how to comfort his sister after he went back.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengyi agreed.
He shook his head, "Are you really willing to marry Shuyun?"
Xiao Chengyi and Zheng pointed out, "Yes, I am willing to marry Shuyun's cousin as my wife. When I make arrangements, I will set off back to the capital, meet my mother and make the marriage."
"real?"
Zhong Shuhao confirmed again.
Xiao Chengyi focused on the key point, "How can we have a joke in marriage?"
Zhong Shuhao muttered, "Why did you agree? I was ready and thought you would refuse. I also wanted to take this opportunity to punch you, but you actually agreed."
If Zhong Shuyun was there and heard his muttering content, she would probably break up with his brother.
It's a trick girl!
Xiao Chengyi was amused and crying.
Zhong Shuhao became happy again in a blink of an eye, "It's good that you agree. My Shuyun can finally be happy. Then I won't delay you, hurry up and make arrangements, I'll wait for you in the capital."
...
Zhong Shuhao walked back and forth that day and brought the good news to his sister Zhong Shuyun.
Zhong Shuyun suddenly blushed and hid in the room and refused to come out. She was alone and secretly happy.
A few days later, the third prince Xiao Chengyi returned to the capital and went straight to the palace to meet the queen.
"What are you talking about?"
When Queen Tao learned about his purpose, she wanted to marry Zhong Shuyun, and instantly raised her voice and her face turned dark, which was really horrifying.
Xiao Chengyi was a little confused.
Only then did he believe that what Zhong Shuhao said was true, and that the queen mother was not very satisfied with the marriage, so she was reluctant to give Princess Chengyang a clear word.
Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Please ask the queen to fulfill my wish, my son wants to marry Shuyun's cousin."
"absurd!"
Queen Tao shook her sleeves and looked angry, "Do you know what's going on now? I don't have any objection to marry Zhong Shuyun, but have you ever considered your father's idea? The Tao family's past experience, are you sure you want to marry a woman who will cause your father's suspicion as your wife?"
Xiao Chengyi frowned and said, "Shuyun's cousin is the niece of his father, and his father should not..."
"There is no right in this world, let alone the emperor, and the word "right" has never existed."
Queen Tao interrupted him sternly, her tone was full of anger, and she was still full of regret.
Xiao Chengyi's face looked ugly, "But I have already agreed to Shuyun's cousin!"
"You're confused!"
Queen Tao was so angry.
At this time, the palace servant reported that Princess Chengyang had arrived at the gate of the Weiyang Palace.
Queen Tao was filled with blood and sneered, "She came at a really time. It seems that when you entered the city gate, the people from the princess's mansion were eyeing you, so Princess Chengyang would come so timely. She couldn't wait and wanted to force the palace to agree to the marriage."
Xiao Chengyi could not refute.
Princess Chengyang came too coincidental and could not find the second reason except for keeping staring at his whereabouts.
In an instant, Queen Tao calmed down again.
"Please come in, I am thinking about her."
Then, she instructed Xiao Chengyi, "Don't show up, go to the side palace and wait."
Xiao Chengyi hesitated.
Queen Tao scolded sternly, "What are you still standing? You just want to marry Zhong Shuyun? Otherwise, I will fulfill your wish today."
Xiao Chengyi opened his mouth and smiled bitterly.
I wanted to repay Zhong Shuyun's friendship, but he had already let Tao Qi down. He didn't want to let another woman who gave her sincere dedication to him, but he didn't expect to become a person inside and outside.
If the marriage fails, what is his face to face the Zhong brother and sister?
But if he insisted on this marriage, how could he be worthy of his mother's years of training and dedication to him?
All in all, it's all his fault.
It was because he was not very careful and had hurriedly promised Zhong Shuhao without getting his mother's consent, which led to the embarrassing situation today.
He hid alone in the side hall, his mind rolling.
I don’t know the result of my mother’s conversation with Chengyang’s aunt.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of fierce quarrels coming from the hall.
Although I can't hear the content clearly, it can be judged from my tone that the two sides are quarreling very hard.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
A heavy object landed on the ground.
Xiao Chengyi could no longer sit still, rushed out of the side hall and ran towards the main hall.
Queen Tao and Princess Chengyang, both of them were like cockfighting, and their eyes were particularly fierce.
His sudden appearance broke the solemn atmosphere in the hall.
When Princess Chengyang saw him, she laughed, "The Third Palace is coming down just in time. I want to make a family with the Queen, are you willing?"
Xiao Chengyi coughed lightly, "Please my aunt!"
He looked at his mother and asked with his eyes.
Queen Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Get a relative, okay! Dingtao's marriage has not yet settled. Shuhao is a good child. They are a couple. I wonder what Chengyang is thinking?"
Princess Chengyang was stunned.
Xiao Chengyi was even more confused.
How come the marriage turned into Dingtao and Zhong Shuhao in a blink of an eye.
Queen Tao said again: "Anyway, it's all about getting married. It's not the same for whom you marry. The ultimate goal is nothing more than being a family member."
Pooh!
How can we marry a wife and a daughter be the same?
When marrying a daughter, as long as the third prince ascends the throne, her daughter can become the queen.
She is crazy when she gets married, Dingtao is still the bad temper.
She is a kind mother and will never harm her baby son.
Princess Chengyang sneered repeatedly, "The Empress's solution is good, but my Shuhao has a girl he likes. Just wait for Shuyun's marriage to be decided, and I will come to him personally to propose marriage for him."
"I wonder which girl is so 'fortunate' that she can actually get into your eyes in Chengyang?" Queen Tao seemed to smile.
Princess Chengyang has very high requirements for her daughter-in-law. Ordinary girls, haha, she is afraid that she will not even give in to the point of her eyes.
Princess Chengyang smiled and said, "Let's keep it confidential for now. When the marriage is settled, I will invite the queen to have a wedding banquet."
"OK!"
"Then Chengyi Tongshuyun's marriage..."
Princess Chengyang still didn't give up, "The two children fell in love with each other. Could it be that the Empress really wants to break up the couple?"
