Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 27: Marry (1)

Queen Qiao cried for a while, but slowly calmed down and wiped 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 I did not lead the troops into battle. It was the elder brother who fought a few victorious battles with the father, killed more than 20 bandits, and stood up. A lot of military exploits."

Queen Qiao couldn't help sighing softly.

Emperor Yongjia's heart is really biased.

When the eldest prince went out with the army for the first time, he led the army 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 all deliberately promoted by everyone.

It was the second prince's turn to go out with the army for the first time and 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 see a few are good..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the second prince: "Mother Meng Yunluo has fallen in love with the daughter of the Marquis of Guangping?"

Queen Joe: "..."

Queen Qiao was dumbfounded and looked at the unpredictable second prince: "How did you guess?"

She had this marriage in mind 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 biggest reliance of the eldest prince 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, her thoughts were revealed by the second prince.

The second prince looked at Queen 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.

Before he said 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, and that strange feeling came to her mind again.

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

The once humble and gentle jade-like youth has become cold-hearted and resolute.

"Why?" Queen Qiao couldn't help frowning: "Do you already have a girl you like?"

Wait!

Could it be Qiao Wan, a favorite?

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 my father in private tonight. Emperor, please marry the girl you like."

The last few words are meaningful.

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

Queen Joe: "..."

My 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 had been away from Beijing for several months, delaying many government affairs. Busy all day, and when it gets dark, it will stop.

Eunuch Liu 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 at Jiaofang Hall was also considered to be the face of Queen Qiao. Tonight, Emperor Yongjia was going to Concubine Meng's bedroom.

Eunuch Liu responded with a smile, but before he left, Eunuch Ma entered the Wenhua Hall to report: "Report to the emperor, the second prince, the third 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 Highness the Third Prince have important business, and want to see the Emperor alone."

Yongjia Emperor: "..."

The **** haven't even grown their hair yet, but they have 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 to answer, and was about to step back when he heard Emperor Yongjia say again: "The third prince of Xuan goes to the hall."

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

The second prince's remarks in the morning really annoyed Emperor Yongjia. Therefore, Emperor Yongjia deliberately called the third prince first and gave the second prince a shame.

A moment later, the third prince Li Hao stepped into the hall and bowed his hands: "My son has seen the father and emperor."

As a father, there is no reason not to love his 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, "Thank you, Father, Royal ~IndoMTL.com~ and then stood up straight.

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

Privately facing his son, Emperor Yongjia didn't put on a stance of the emperor. At this time, Emperor Yongjia is like all 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 felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Yes, as a son, it is only right and natural for him to ask his father for something.

"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 give him a marriage."

Emperor Yongjia suddenly became interested and asked with a smile, "Which girl do you like? Tell me."

Li Hao's eyes shone brightly: "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, I have to ask Xingyang about marriage, etc. What the king means. You go back first, and then I will ask."

Li Hao didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He was overjoyed. He immediately knelt down and banged his head three times: "Thank you father for your success."

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 up, his voice slightly lowered: "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."

Yongjia Emperor: "..."
