Chapter 25 Fighting for a son-in-law (3)
The three princes of other surnames knelt under the hall together. They begged for the emperor's grandfather to promise me to marry their granddaughter or daughter. Perhaps all the officials had never seen this situation. Therefore, they looked at the three princes of His Highness from time to time, and from time to time, looking at the emperor's grandfather and me in the hall, clearly looking at the fun.
The emperor's grandfather hesitated for a while and said, "Three dear friends, you all said so... so... Alas, I can't separate this grandson for you three parts, right? I'm afraid I can't do it anymore."
After the emperor's grandfather said this, the three kings of His Highness were stunned. After they looked at each other for a few times, Chang Yuchun suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to solve this problem."
"What method?" the emperor's grandfather asked slightly, without surprise, with some expectations in his tone.
Just when I was a little strange by the emperor's grandfather's expression, Chang Yuchun had already said: "Actually, this method is very simple. As long as the emperor signifies the daughters of our three families as the princesses of King Rui, it will be done."
"This..." The emperor's grandfather's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Xu Da and Mu Ying next to him. It seemed that he was asking the two princes what they meant.
After watching silently for a long time, I finally understood what the emperor's grandfather meant: probably he had already thought of the idea of asking me to marry a three-wife alone, but because he was concerned about the faces of Chang Yuchun, Xu Da and Mu Ying, he didn't say it. The previous distressed look of the emperor's grandfather should have been pretending to force Chang Yuchun and the other two to propose this idea, and then the matter of marrying a three-wife alone became a natural result. Speaking of which, the emperor's grandfather's deep scheming really made Chang Yuchun and the other two feel like "the monkey can't escape from the Five Fingers Mountain".
Sure enough, after thinking about it, Xu Da and Mu Ying probably saw that the result of "exclusive son-in-law" was not available, so they finally nodded and agreed to let me marry these three pearls in their hands.
The emperor's grandfather laughed proudly and was about to say something else, when he suddenly saw Song Lian coming out again, kneeling down and saying, "Your Majesty, I still love you to take back your fame!"
Song Lian had already contradicted the emperor's grandfather once, and now he came out to obstruct him at this time. The emperor's grandfather immediately looked angry and said, "Song Lian, you would not agree to give my grandson a seat before. Could it be that if I want to ask my grandson for his wife now, you should also take care of him?"
Song Lian, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't want to care about the emperor marrying the princess for King Rui, but the emperor cannot forget the promise he made to me."
"Promise?" The emperor's grandfather's face cleared a little, and he said strangely: "What promise did I make to you?"
"May the Emperor remember that when the Emperor heard King Rui fall down from Qiantang River in the palace that day, he told me that if I had known, I would have asked King Rui to marry King Rui's daughter, so that I could leave a queen for King Rui!" Song Lian said meticulously, his voice did not change at all because of the emperor's grandfather's questioning.
"This..." The emperor's grandfather was suffocated when he heard this. Obviously, he remembered this incident, and everyone could see that Song Lian's words were true.
"Grandfather, Emperor Grandfather, are you really going to have a ticket to my marriage?" I felt a little embarrassed when I saw this situation. The emperor's grandfather had already decided on Hu Meixin's marriage for me before, and then Miss Song was made... "Slow down, then Hu Weiyi wouldn't..."
My heart suddenly moved, and when I was standing at the first among the civil servants, the man had already walked out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the marriage between my daughter and King Rui was decided by the emperor and the empress. Now... now... I'm asking the emperor to be the master of me!"
"Grandfather of the Emperor..." I felt a little powerless. I really don't know what the Emperor's grandfather would deal with this lively scene that was almost a "Six Kingdoms Grand Priest"!
Just as the matter was about to be resolved, the emperor's grandfather suddenly encountered two "stumbling blocks". His brows frowned vigorously. After a while, he finally raised his eyebrows and showed an extremely domineering aura. He said impatiently: "You don't have to fight anymore. My grandson is not ordinary. It's nothing great to marry your daughters once. Okay, I will all sign them Princess Rui once." As he said, he said to a clerk in the cabinet, "You have all enthroned me. Today, my grandson Changluo has married all the daughters of these five families."
After saying these angry words, the whole court was shocked and there was no movement. Everyone stared blankly at the emperor's grandfather who was "unpredictable to happiness and anger" in the middle of the hall. How could anyone dare to say anything at this time?
As a wife, I was even more slashed by the emperor's grandfather's quick knife... Oh, no, I was suppressed by the emperor's grandfather's power, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable. Because just the words of the emperor's grandfather, I had already added five concubines for no reason, and the number was large, especially the father who was known as lustful.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Seeing that everyone was speechless, the emperor's grandfather waved his hand immediately and said impatiently.
"Emperor, Emperor..." The eunuch greeted him.
"What's the matter?"
"This year's top scorer, the second place, Tanhua still has to parade the streets. Prince Rui...he..."
"Oh, then let Changluo go together!"
...
This day was the day when I, the emperor, won three yuan in a row, it was also the day when I was named King Rui, and it was also the day when I decided to make five marriages at once.
The parades were beating drums and drums, and I slowly rode on the horse, accepting the colorful and applause from the people on both sides of the street. At this time, I could only use the word "satisfied and fulfilled" to describe my mood. After passing the exam, I not only won three yuan in a row, but also married five concubines. In the hearts of all scholars throughout the ages, there is probably nothing else that makes people happy and glorious than this.
When I returned to the imperial city, I was immediately summoned to their bedroom by my emperor's grandfather and grandmother. When the emperor's grandmother could see me again, she naturally had to experience a scene of tears flowing and crying with me. When the emperor's grandmother returned to her original appearance, I carefully told her about the situation where I was wandering among the people.
After hearing my words, the emperor's grandmother took my hand with great distress and said, "Look, look, but let the emperor's grandmother take a good look. I have pity my good grandson. After going outside for no reason, I will not allow you to leave my side in the future."
"It's a good thing that Changluo can go out to experience it, otherwise how could he have such a good result today? Even my grandfather's face has been a lot brighter."
When the emperor's grandmother heard what the emperor's grandfather said, he immediately glared and spat: "The emperor is proud, but do you know that I almost lost this good grandson?" After a slight salute, the emperor turned his head and said to me: "That woman named Lin Dajiao is a kind-hearted person. We can't treat others badly... Well, there is also Li Xiaoru's family. Although this time they admit you as their godson, it is considered a crime to be the best, but as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, their Li family has helped you very much, so they are not guilty, but have made contributions. We must always reward them well."
When I heard the words of the emperor's grandmother, I was just right and said thanking me: "Grandson thanked the emperor's grandmother!" As I spoke, my head moved, and I held the emperor's grandmother without any trace, "No wonder when I was outside, everyone outside said that the emperor's grandmother is the few virtuous queen in the world!"
The emperor's grandmother was coaxed by my words and said, "I haven't seen it for a long time. People outside are about to tell you again. My good grandson is one of the few princesses in the world who are both virtuous and talented!"
The Emperor's grandmother's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the Emperor's grandfather. After a while, the Emperor's grandfather said again: "This time we will reward those who have extended a helping hand to Changluo. In addition, today I have sent a nine hundred miles to Yanjing, and let your father and your mother know your news. Alas, I heard that your mother knew that you fell into the Qiantang River and fainted twice on the spot. These days, I have been crying every day, and I really hurt you."
When I heard this, my body was shocked. I imagined my mother's misery. A feeling of humid heat suddenly surged in my eyes. Mom, she had only one son like me to rely on. She had been thinking about me since she was a child. Now, I suddenly heard the news that I fell into the water. I am afraid I will be heartbroken... "Mom, my son has made you worry!" I suddenly wanted to see my mother, and the uncontrollable longing kept swelling in my heart, and tears could not help falling.
Seeing me like this, the emperor's grandmother quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on my face and comforted me: "Your mother will definitely be overjoyed when she received the news that you are still alive... Well, I really want to meet this daughter-in-law, and I don't know what kind of person she is, and she can raise such a good son for our Zhu family."
The emperor's grandfather patted me on the shoulder and said, "Chang Luo, the emperor's grandfather agreed to you, but I still have a breath, so I will never let you be bullied by others anymore. No matter who it is, okay?"
