Chapter 51
With the wind blowing, Shu Yao stood behind the curtain, and when she heard Xie Yanzhou's ups and downs, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Although Emperor Yong seldom took the initiative to raise political affairs with her, he was not on guard against her, and she had always been unimpeded in Chengqian Hall.Hearing Xie Yanzhou begging to see her, Shu Yao was curious, so she quietly followed her. Before she could stand still, she heard Xie Yanzhou say that she wanted to marry her.

He is too shameless!
She let go and told Xie Yanzhou not to approach her in the future, why is Xie Yanzhou still thinking about those things?

He also brought his grandfather and begged to come before his uncle!

Emperor Yong on the dragon chair looked at the two of them secretly, "Yanzhou get up first. Yaoyao is still young, and you have not yet reached the crown. It is too hasty to ask me to marry you now."

"How to act too hastily?"

Xie Hong said, "Your Majesty, a man who stands above heaven and earth should first get married and then establish a career. The old minister thinks that Yan Zhou and the princess are getting married now. Yanzhou and the princess have known each other for many years, and they have long been in love. His Majesty just gave the crown prince a marriage last night. Wouldn't it be nice to have Yanzhou and the princess fulfilled, double happiness coming to the door?"

Emperor Yong pinched the sandalwood bead in his hand, his eyes gradually tightened.

Before he could speak, Shu Yao opened the door curtain first, "This Princess will not marry!"

When she suddenly appeared, Xie Yanzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then his face showed joy, "My dear, I just beg His Majesty to grant you a marriage. We can exchange Geng Tie first and be a fiancée. We will get married after the crown prince marries the crown princess..."

"Uncle," Shu Yao looked directly at Emperor Yong, "Didn't you say that you want me to marry someone I really like? I have no feelings for him, so I don't want to marry him."

"Little princess, don't mess around," Xie Hong frowned, and his voice was a bit harsh, "Marriage is a major matter for two surnames, how can you talk about it based on the love of children? You are a princess of a country, not an ordinary son and daughter. When the elders talk, You should avoid it."

Shu Yao was most afraid of two people when she was a child, one was the queen, and the other was Xie Hongxie.Xie Hong's brows were rough and his eyes were thick, with the killing spirit of a military general on his body, when he got angry, he was more terrifying than Lord Hades.

However, Xie Hong was very partial to his grandson Xie Yanzhou. Shu Yao used to be a guest at Xie's mansion, Xie's family committed crimes, and Xie Hong's daughter-in-law and granddaughter were the ones who were most vicious, and Xie Yanzhou was never punished.

The sandal beads ran over Emperor Yong's fingertips one by one, and after a long while, Emperor Yong finally said, "Young lady, come to me."

Shu Yao seemed to have found a backer, and quickly ran behind Emperor Yong, taking the opportunity to glare at Xie Hong.

Xie Hong was so angry that he almost couldn't maintain his dignity and solemnity, his eyes swept over Shu Yao coldly, and landed on Emperor Yong, "Your Majesty, the little princess speaks like a child, and the old minister doesn't care about her like her. But she is already old, not a girl. At her age, she would have married a woman, so you can't indulge her like this anymore!"

"I promised the emperor that I would protect Yaoyao for a lifetime without any worries. I also told Yaoyao that if she meets someone she likes, I will give her a marriage right away," Emperor Yong said lightly, "A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and I am the emperor. How can you break your promise?"

Xie Hong looked displeased, "You have done everything very well, except that you are too tolerant of the little Princess. So many people regard her and Yanzhou as fiancés, if you regret the marriage for her, the Xie family will lose face ?Your Majesty, as the saying goes, loyal words are harsh to the ears. The old minister’s ancestors have been the late emperor’s saddle and horse for three generations. They were born and died with the late emperor.

With a "pa", Tanzhu slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and rolled to the ground.Emperor Yong got up suddenly, "The first emperor died more than [-] years ago, did Mr. Xie forget that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair now is me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The surrounding palace servants knelt on the ground, and Xie Hong quickly pulled Xie Yanzhou to his knees.

At the beginning of Emperor Yong's ascension to the throne, Xie Hong served as the general of the auxiliary country and co-regent with the queen mother.Although he retired later, Emperor Yong respected him very much and asked him to teach the prince, just like the younger generation to the elders, when did he get angry in front of him?

"The old minister dare not..."

Emperor Yong was so angry that his head was buzzing.

First, Zhang Sheng, who took the initiative, and then Xie Hong, who forced Shu Yao to marry... All of them are really upside down!
"Old Xie, let me ask you, you said that three generations of your ancestors were born and died with the late emperor, how can I treat your Xie family badly?"

Emperor Yong walked down the steps and stood in front of Xie Hong and the two of them, "Your eldest son was crowned Prince of Taiyuan County without fighting a day. Your grandson was even invited into the palace by me to be the prince's companion." Read. The families of the Xie family, those who are ennobled, those who are officials, and those who have nothing, I will give them fertile land, mansions, gold and silver treasures... Not only are you dissatisfied, but you also want to marry my niece!"

Letting Xie Yanzhou enter the palace was just an expedient measure by Emperor Yong.He was not prepared to let Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou get married from the beginning.It would be fine if the two children liked each other, Xie Yanzhou was ambiguous with the concubine of the Shu family, and at the same time asked him to marry Shu Yao, it was wishful thinking!
Emperor Yong had never said such a serious word, the relationship between Xie Yanzhou and Shu Yao was a foregone conclusion.Xie Hong, who had previously compared himself to the emperor's teacher, opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty..."

"I don't agree to this marriage," Emperor Yong stopped looking at him, "Come here, send Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie out."

Xie Yanzhou staggered to help Xie Hong up, almost turning his head three times at every step, but he didn't get an extra look from Shu Yao.Looking at the strict forbidden soldiers on both sides of Chengqian Hall, Xie Hong became dizzy for a while.

Thunder bursts, this capital city is really about to change.

……

Chengqian Hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Shu Yao walked out from behind the dragon chair and whispered, "Uncle."

Hearing her nervousness, Emperor Yong smiled: "Scared?"

Shu Yao had never seen Emperor Yong get so angry, but he was angry because he wanted to defend her, so he shook his head: "It's because they pushed their limits and made uncle angry. Uncle should reprimand them."

Emperor Yong's smile was a little more realistic.He sighed, and said: "I can't even protect those who want to protect well. I, the emperor, are too useless."

Emperor Yong has been forbearing and waiting for the mind tempered since he was a child.But the more he endured, the more he fueled the arrogance of some people, making the ills accumulate deeper and deeper.

"That's not true." Shu Yao looked sincerely, "I heard that there were constant wars during the late emperor's time, and it's already very remarkable that uncle can manage such a large country well."

Emperor Yong raised his hand and touched Shu Yao's head.

"I just want you to be happy. Your mother has a soul in the sky, and she can rest in peace."

"His Majesty."

The young man's voice was as clear as a pearl, breaking the brief silence in the hall.Shu Yao raised her head, and the ending sound raised: "Li Mingji? Why are you here!"

How long has passed, and he didn't take a good rest!

Li Mingji smiled at her, then turned to look at Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty, I brought an elder with me because of Han Chunhua."
