Chapter 48
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

"Loyal King, what's the matter?" In the main hall, the emperor sat upright and said majestically.

Zeng Kaizhi stood up and was about to speak out what was in his heart.

"Going back to Emperor Father, I have something to say." The second prince said first.

"Oh? What's the matter with you? Let King Zhong finish his sentence first." The emperor was a little angry. Today's second prince doesn't understand the rules.

"Father, my son said the same thing as King Zhong." Mu Chuqian replied.

Mu Chucong watched from the side, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Father, my son also has something to say." Mu Chucong seemed to have guessed something.

"Why are you joining in the fun?" The emperor was even more displeased, thinking to himself: "What's the matter today, everyone is out of order."

"Father, my son wants to take a concubine." The eldest prince said first.

"Presumptuous! You don't even have a wife, and you still take a concubine?!" The emperor glared fiercely.

The courtiers were so frightened that they plopped and knelt on the ground.

"The emperor calm down." A neat voice sounded.

Everyone knelt on the ground, glanced at these three people, and felt annoyed in their hearts.

What to do wrong, must die?

"Everyone, get up." The emperor said.

Seeing that the emperor did not blame him, the courtiers stood up and secretly rejoiced.

Our emperor is uncertain, because of other things before, he angered several courtiers.Those who don't like it will be beheaded directly, and those who don't like it will be ransacked and exiled.

I don't know what kind of shit luck they had today to pass the level so easily.

Several courtiers couldn't help wiping their cold sweat.

"Prince, do you want to take a concubine?" The emperor asked.

"Yes, I want Princess Yangshuo to be my concubine." The eldest prince said very naturally.

"Okay, okay, I have an idea." The emperor clapped his palms and said happily suddenly.

Mu Chucong was a little surprised to hear his father's admiration for him.But he didn't think too much, and said happily: "Father, Princess Yangshuo grew up with me, and our relationship is a matter of course."

"Hehe, you still know that she is the princess of Yangshuo?! Do you deserve her as a concubine?" The emperor scolded angrily, and his mood changed very quickly.

The unexpected reversal makes people happy and sad.

It was Mu Chuqian who was happy, and Mu Chucong was sad.

"Father forgives the sin, the son and the princess of Yangshuo are in love with each other, and it has nothing to do with whether they are worthy or not." Mu Chucong did not give up and argued.

"You spitting blood, when did my daughter fall in love with you?" Zeng Kaizhi glared angrily when he saw people blatantly slandering his daughter's reputation in the court.

"Loyal prince, forgive me." The eldest prince apologized.

"Hmph!" Prince Zhong glanced at him contemptuously, and stopped giving him good looks.

"This matter is impossible, Second Prince, tell me, what's your business?"

Ignoring the eldest prince's disappointment, the emperor looked at Mu Chuqian with a slightly calmer attitude.

I hope that the second prince will not say anything shocking to the world.

"Father, I want to ask for a marriage." Mu Chuqian said calmly.

"Qian'er has grown up." The emperor said with emotion.

The voice is full of memories and nostalgia.

"Whose family's daughter is so blessed?" the emperor joked.

"Princess Yangshuo." Without extra words, Mu Chuqian replied.

"Oh? You also want to marry Princess Yangshuo?" The emperor was a little surprised.

Princess Yangshuo's reputation in the imperial city is not good, and he has heard of it.

The imperial concubines complained to themselves while enjoying the roast duck and powder sent by Princess Yangshuo.

Some people said that she didn't understand the three obediences and four virtues, and didn't follow the female morality training.Some people said that she was in public all day long, flirting with the prince and servants.

But Zeng Kaizhi has always protected her and is proud of her.

He couldn't understand why his two princes were obsessed with her now.

"Your majesty, I have never begged you since I was a child, and today is the first time." Mu Chuqian pleaded, his eyes full of sincerity.

"It's just, she..." The emperor wanted to say what was in his heart, but looked at Zeng Kaizhi at the side, and swallowed the words again.

"After the next court, you come to the Imperial Study Room."

"Yes, Father."

"Lord Zhong, what's the matter with you?" The emperor looked at King Zhong and said.

"Oh, I'm fine." Zeng Kaizhi observed his words and expressions.

"Okay, if you don't have anything to do with the Qing family, let's leave the court." The emperor waved his hand, and there was already a tired look in his eyes.

Outside the hall, courtiers were coming down the steps.

"It seems that the eldest prince is about to fall out of favor." A thin and thin official in his 40s said.

"Yes, look at the court, the emperor has different attitudes towards the eldest prince and the second prince." Another adult with a simple face and a slightly gray beard greeted him.

"It seems that the position of the future emperor may not necessarily belong to the eldest prince!"

"That's right. It seems that the second prince will not leave again when he returns to Beijing this time."

"The second prince is good at fighting, but the first prince may not be able to compete."

A few adults said something to you, and I talked to each other, and the discussion was in full swing.

"Shh, you don't want your heads?" Realizing that the discussion was too loud, the thin adult hissed.

"Be quieter, be quieter."

They found that not far behind, Chu Jianguo and Mu Chucong were discussing something together.

"Elder Prince! How could you embarrass this old man in public like this?" Chu Jianguo asked with a sullen expression on his face.

"Marrying a wife and taking a concubine is a matter of course, so it's embarrassing for you." Mu Chucong was not used to it, and said angrily.

"I spread branches and leaves for the royal family to fulfill my prince's duty."

"But everyone knows that you and Jiaojiao have made a private decision for life, how can you say such a thing?"

"So what, isn't the father still conferring a marriage?"

"Hmph!" Chu Jianguo was so stunned that he couldn't speak, he shook his sleeves and distanced himself from him.

If it wasn't for his family status, he would definitely look down on this kind of person.

But compared to the second prince, he is more likely to ascend to the throne in the future.So even though he was angry, he didn't dare to really do anything.

Inside the imperial study.

There were only Mu Chuqian, the emperor, and the chief executive of the imperial court.

"Just now King Zhong was present, so I can't say much."

"Do you know who Zeng Xiaoxiao is?"

"Neat and crazy, not abiding by women's virtues. If you want to find a wife, I can give you Princess Heshun."

"Thank you, Father, but I only fall in love with her."

"Princess Heshun, gentle and majestic, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, isn't she better than her?"

"Are you going to marry her to embarrass the royal family?"

"Father, she is not as bad as you said."

"To me, she is a perfect woman. On the outside, she has her own career, independent, confident and beautiful. At home, she is harmonious with relatives and friends, and is respected by everyone. I don't need someone who is proficient in everything, because All the singers and dancers in the mansion know all of these skills. She is so good that Erchen is overshadowed, and Erchen feels ashamed of being a man. She is different from ordinary women. If all women in the world can be like her, they can afford a family , can create its own value, and is no longer bound by the code of ethics, then the Yunqi Kingdom will definitely become the most powerful country."

When Mu Chuqian said these words, his eyes were full of light.

He was immersed in his own world, always recalling Zeng Xiaoxiao's beauty, and the emperor couldn't bear to interrupt him.
