Chapter 302 Another wave

As soon as Emperor Donglin finished speaking, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, everyone reacted differently, the only one who looked happy was Princess Nanyue.

At first, everyone thought that the Zhuo Wang Mansion would not be able to get the moon even if it was near the water, but the Nanyue princess went around and was married to the Zhuo Wang Mansion by the Emperor Donglin.

At this moment, the two sons of King Zhuo in the field had different expressions, Zhuo Mingxuan was a little annoyed after being surprised, originally he was angry with this younger brother.As long as the order is followed, when it is Zhuo Yibai's turn, he uses some rhetoric to reverse the idea of ​​​​the reward for marriage from Emperor Donglin, making him feel that the most suitable candidate for the marriage can only be Zhuo Mingxuan.

In this way, unless Kunyu can find another candidate in the short quarter of an hour in front of everyone, she will have to refuse the marriage if she refuses to accept it. Embarrassing in front of the big family.Such a situation would definitely be detrimental to her staying in Jindu in the future, so Zhuo Mingxuan speculated that Kunyu would never go on this path.

However, he never expected that Emperor Donglin would bypass the second place and award Kunyu first.

Zhuo Yibai's expression was calm, only the coldness in his eyes revealed the displeasure in his heart.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the expressions of several people one by one, with mixed emotions in his heart, but he didn't know what expression to put on his face.

The marriage was given to Zhuo Wang's mansion, but he didn't specify which son it was. He thought that the good match in Emperor Donglin's heart would not be the nameless young master Zhuo, which was far from what Kunyu thought.

At this time, some officials present couldn't help talking in a low voice. They all heard about what happened at the banquet in Zhuo Wang's mansion. Kunyu first rejected the second son of Zhuo, and then was declined by the young master Zhuo.

One wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs, this twists and turns of changes are unexpected.

Many people speculated in their hearts, could it be that Princess Nanyue had already made a decision, so Emperor Donglin would use this autumn hunt to bestow the marriage?Some noble ladies even whispered that the princess of Nanyue and the son of Prince Zhuo's mansion had secretly exchanged love.

Everyone was full of speculation, Kunyu suddenly said: "Who is the young master of the Zhuo family that His Majesty bestowed on you..."

Many female relatives of the official family cast their eyes on Kunyu.

A smile appeared on the face of Emperor Donglin: "Among the sons of King Zhuo, the eldest son Zhuo is the most outstanding as the eldest son. However, he is outside the border, and the date of return is unknown for the time being, so he is not suitable as a candidate for marriage. Fortunately, the second son Zhuo is also He is a rare talent who helped King Zhuo share a lot of affairs. On behalf of King Zhuo, he entertained the South Vietnamese mission and met the princess a few times. I wonder if the princess is satisfied with the second son Zhuo?"

Although it was a question, but with such a firm tone, he firmly believed that Zhuo Mingxuan was what Kunyu was looking for.

Kunyu suppressed her intention to argue, and answered honestly: "Your Majesty, the second son is indeed good. Kunyu sees him as gentle and refined, with elegant manners and a good conversation. However," she changed the subject and continued: " Kunyu still hopes to marry the person she likes."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

The princess of Nanyue is not looking at the Second Master Zhuo?
Now there are only two sons from King Zhuo in Zhuo Wang's mansion. Could it be that Zhuo Yibai is the Princess of Nanyue's fancy?

What is Zhuo Yibai? He has a good skin, how can he compare with Zhuo Mingxuan!

Emperor Donglin frowned slightly, and fell silent, his mind flashed involuntarily the memory of the young master of the Zhuo Palace.

Although this young man in his memory didn't look like a stingy dude, he didn't have any fame and achievements, and he seemed like an invisible person in the huge Jindu.

Why did Kunyu fall in love with such a person.

He looked at the young man who was not far away like a jade tree, and saw that his expression was indifferent, his eyes were clear, he was not shocked by the words of the Nanyue princess, and he did not even show a trace of joy.

It's a bit too calm.

Just when everyone felt contemptuous, Emperor Donglin said again: "Nanyue and Tianlu are closely related, and I hope that the princess will play a vital role in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The princess should choose her son-in-law for her own sake." Think more about your identity."

After all, Zhuo Yibai's status was a bit low, but he didn't say it to death. Who will get this marriage depends on Kunyu's wishes. "

That is to say, if the other party insists on asking, because of his status as the son of the prince, he has to close his eyes and agree.

Kunyu is not a fool, hearing the hesitation in Emperor Donglin's tone, he figured out the key in an instant.

The smart people in the field also smelled something unusual. Could it be that this boy from the Zhuo Palace is really going to be lucky?

Ye Zhaoyan saw the light in Kunyu's eyes turn from dim to bright, and his heart sank suddenly, feeling a little painful.

This dull pain made her wake up in an instant, even if it wasn't Kunyu, there would be someone else...

However, this involuntary concern also made her clear that she was not as determined to cut off everything as she imagined regarding Zhuo Yibai's matter.

The expressions of the people in the arena were different, some were surprised, some were envious, some were frustrated, some were annoyed. In this strange atmosphere, a clear and clear voice came from the young man standing under the dragon chair: "Your Majesty's words are right. Although Yi Bai and the second brother Both are the sons of Zhuo Wangfu, but they have been living outside for many years, their upbringing is completely different, they have no qualifications for power, and even less achievements, such a background may delay the status of a princess and hinder the marriage between the two countries."

The young man's posture was neither humble nor overbearing, and his words were well-founded. For a while, everyone was attracted, and after thinking about it, they felt very reasonable.

The young master Zhuo is not without face, it is very interesting that he withdraws with dignity.

"Your Majesty, I have a good relationship with my third younger brother, and I know a lot about his unreasonable intentions." Zhuo Mingxuan's voice came, and he bowed to salute and continued: "The third younger brother's ambition is to be in the clouds and wild cranes, and he has never had the heart to be in power. If you insist on letting him take on the important task of inheriting the Zhuo Palace, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive if you make it difficult for others."

Kunyu's face turned ugly, and was about to argue again, when a cold voice sounded: "Father, my son thinks this Nanyue princess is good, and it's okay for the father to give her a marriage."

Emperor Donglin turned his head and saw Princess Chunhua standing not far away, her eyes were somewhat inquiring and confused.

Princess Chunhua is only nine years old, although she is the second daughter of Emperor Donglin, she is the first princess born of the empress, and she is extremely doted on.

Emperor Donglin's eyes were fixed. He only brought two low-ranking concubines to accompany him this autumn hunting. Who would have thought that his most beloved precious daughter would make a fuss about coming, even if he prevaricated with other rewards? .

It was really strange that Princess Chunhua, who was supposed to be resting in the tent, appeared here at this moment.

Is it a coincidence that his daughter has never been involved in common affairs outside the palace?

An uncomfortable feeling passed through his heart.

Seeing that Emperor Donglin was hesitant, Kunyu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, although young master Zhuo is not appreciated by everyone, he is not a dull person. As long as he is cultivated carefully, he will amaze everyone in time."

　There may not be a change tomorrow.
