Chapter 504
Song Guo and Gu Lin, who were sitting at the table, stared blankly at Shisi and Zuo Qiuyue who arranged a "marriage contract" for them.

"Qing Ge, Ah Lin, come here and let His Majesty take a look." Fourteen smiled and called the two to come over.

Gu Lin and Song Guo got up together, came to the center of the hall, and stood beside Shisi.

"No... Impossible!" Jiang Rong shouted, "Impossible!"

"Whoa!"

He got up too hastily, knocked over the cup on the food table, and spilled the wine on the floor.

Jiang Rong staggered to the center of the hall regardless of his clothes being drenched with wine, pointed at Song Guo and Gu Lin and asked, "If you had a marriage contract earlier, why didn't you tell me earlier? My mother said when she begged His Majesty to marry you, It's clearly prevarication, it's lying!"

"Linde Hall encourages you to be presumptuous!"

"Mother calm down!"

The Empress got angry because of Jiang Rong's disrespect, and Princess Rong An hurriedly pulled him to her knees and begged for mercy: "Rong'er is young, and he lost his dignity when he was in a hurry. I hope my mother will calm down."

"Your Majesty, if you are guilty of your guilt, appease your anger!" Jiang Rong also quickly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.Although the empress dotes on his mother very much, she doesn't like his grandson, Jiang Rong has long understood.Therefore, the mother can abandon the relationship between monarch and minister and call the empress "mother", but he dare not call "grandmother".

Every time he faced the empress, he was cautious and trembling.Just now he lost his composure, he was really dazzled by anger, and for a moment he forgot that he was in Linde Hall.

"Jiang Shizi's youthful heart, I think he really gave his heart, so he was so anxious when he heard that his sweetheart has a marriage contract." The eldest grandson Zhao'er opened his lips and said, "Your Majesty, this is human nature, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

When she pleaded for mercy, Princess Rong An immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, after the eldest grandson Zhao'er finished speaking, the empress' anger was appeased, and she no longer pursued it.

Princess Rong An hurriedly kowtowed her thanks, and then led Jiang Rong to stand up.

She is also resentful of this thing that is not enough to succeed but more to fail.Why can her brothers give birth to children like Zuo Qiuyue and Zuo Qiuhong, but she gave birth to Jiang Rong.

Even Xiao Yan, a son of a foreign surname who married with his mother, could win the favor of the Empress within a short period of time.

And she created unique conditions for Jiang Rong, but he wasted them all.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to propose marriages to several other young ladies of the right age?" the eldest grandson Zhao'er said, leading to the highlight of the night.By the way: "Since this little lady is the adoptive daughter of Princess Henan, why not His Majesty also give her a marriage decree to show her honor and favor?"

The second half of what she said is not important, the front is the key point.

His Majesty wants to give a marriage?To whom do you want to marry?
How many and which ones?
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay. Before the banquet started, they did not receive any relevant news.

Especially His Majesty is not a person who likes to interfere in the marriages of courtiers' children.At the New Year's Eve banquet in the past few years, I have never seen her propose marriage to any family's children.

It suddenly happened tonight, there must be a reason.

No wonder, no wonder just wanted to propose marriage to the Prince of Henan.The Prince of Henan, or the Prince of Henan's Mansion, was in the Queen's plan from the very beginning!Everyone was shocked.

Next, it was time for the empress to order the mandarin ducks.

The first person to be pointed out was Huainan Wang's eldest grandson Jingxu. Her original spouse passed away for many years. Now that she is nearly [-] years old, the position of the royal family is still vacant, and she has no children under her knees.

Hearing that the empress wanted to marry her eldest grandson Jingxu, the happiest person was his father, Prince Huan and eldest grandson Qi.

His son is so outstanding, he is more capable than his father, so he doesn't need to worry about everything.But he has no heirs at a young age, which has become a heart disease for him and the entire eldest grandson's family.

But Changsun Jingxu is not someone who listens to persuasion, no matter how much he persuades, it will be useless.Now that the empress has issued an order, he must obey it.

The eldest grandson Qi was secretly happy, and was guessing which family's daughter the empress would refer to the eldest grandson Jingxu as the princess.But when he heard about the candidate, he felt cold water pouring down his head, and even suspected that he had heard wrong.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Qi asked, "Which lady do you want to refer to Jingxu?"

"Taiyuan Wang's daughter." The eldest grandson Zhao'er replied, "This girl comes from a family, and she is famous in the local area. It is a perfect match for my uncle."

Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue looked at each other, pointing to the eldest grandson Jingxu's Taiyuan Wang's daughter, who was Wang You's cousin and also Zuo Qiuyue's cousin.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you." When Changsun Qi wanted to ask for a change, Changsun Jingxu had already knelt down to thank him.

"Let's arrange the marriage in June of the next year." The Empress smiled slightly when she saw his attitude, "It will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites."

Li Jingjie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came out to receive the order: "I accept the order."

"Ah Hong, how old is Lin'er this year?"

Sure enough, the next one was Hedong Palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will be 11 years old later." Zuoqiu Hong got up and replied.

"Eleventh." The empress looked at her eldest grandson Zhao'er, "How old is Wu Niang of your elder brother's family?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Wu Niang is one year younger than Lin'er, ten years later."

"It's about the same age."

"Yes, they are about the same age." The eldest grandson Zhao'er said, "Wu Niang and Lin'er have met before, and the two children get along very well."

"That's good, that's good." The Empress smiled and settled the marriage, "It's the most important thing between children to get along well."

"Lin'er, don't thank His Majesty Long En."

Zuo Qiuhong took Zuo Qiulin together to thank him, Princess Bai of Hedong followed him out to salute, but her face turned pale.

She originally planned to let Tian marry her niece, and she had already discussed it with her elder brother and sister-in-law.

But now...he married the daughter of the grandson's family.

The Zuoqiu family and the Changsun family are like a family on the surface, but in fact... why does His Majesty want her son to marry the daughter of the Changsun family?

The girl of the Changsun family who was meant to be married to Zuo Qiulin was the niece of Changsun Zhao'er. Because of the cold, she was unable to attend the banquet tonight.His father went forward to give thanks for him.

There were two marriage decrees, one for the Henan Palace and the Huainan King, and the other for the Hedong Palace and the Changsun family.

Everyone speculated that if the heir son of Henan had not already had a marriage contract, the person who would marry him would most likely be one of the two daughters of the Bai family.

The empress wanted to "bind" the three who might eventually inherit the throne together, so that they would be inextricably linked, so as to weaken the relationship between their competitors.

"Your Majesty's move is to protect everyone." After Li Jingjie and Gu Qingshan congratulated several families, they walked back to their seats and got together to talk.

"Alas." Li Jingjie sighed after hearing the words.

Because of the throne, the first prince and king Xianyu, as well as the eldest son and second son of king Yu, died one after another.In the past, he was decisive in killing, but now he wants to save everyone.Li Jingjie didn't understand why the empress had such naive thoughts.

Could it be that the state of mind has changed in old age?
What's more, the upcoming battle for the throne is not just a simple battle for the heir apparent, but also a battle for two surnames.One surname cannot be preserved, let alone two surnames.

"One emperor, one courtier." Gu Qingshan naturally understood what the old friend's sigh was for, he didn't answer, but said with emotion, "It won't be long before we old guys should retire."

"There are no children and grandchildren who are not worthy of great use. I just want to be able to retire safely, and I am content." He said, "It is you who raised a good granddaughter. If I remember correctly, you were proud of your youth, and you became a granddaughter. He was 17 years old when he was enshrined in Hanlin. And Ah Yu, he was only sixteen after the new year."
