The gift to Baihua should not be Wen Chengjin, a young lady from the Wen family, who would be given the marriage as Gu Junheng's eldest son's concubine.

The civil and military officials in the court, and even Wen Chengjin who was kneeling on the ground, were stunned.

What did the emperor think?

The prince's face wasn't very pretty either, it could almost be said to be gloomy.

Nowadays, his father is increasingly unable to understand what he is thinking in his heart.

"Father, Miss Wen is a loyal minister. Are you a little aggrieved by asking her to be Jun Heng's eldest son's concubine? There are many talents in the court, and there are young talents to match her."

The prince couldn't help but come out to speak for Gu Junheng.

The relationship between Lin Jinglan and Gu Junheng was perfect, so what if they were given a concubine?

"It doesn't matter. I watched Junheng grow up. He has a talented nature. I naturally know that Jinglan is also a good child. In the future, she and Miss Wen will be treated equally by Junheng. Besides, Prime Minister Wen is Junheng. Isn’t it natural for my mentor to take care of the orphans at home on my behalf?”

However, the emperor smiled, obviously not taking it to heart, and said softly.

Gu Junheng still didn't speak, his face was very calm, and there was no sign of anger or irritation.

"Your Majesty, you haven't asked Miss Wen what she meant."

Wen Chengjin was kneeling on the ground. She was beautiful and dignified. Even though she had been living in a brothel, she did not hide her noble look and emerged from the mud without being stained. She was the one I was talking about.

Li Shuting was kneeling next to Wen Chengjin, but his expression was extremely ugly.

Gu Junheng has been planning for many years and doing his best to reverse Wen's case.

Lin Jinglan had also helped in many ways, and Li Shuting was grateful to the couple, but at this time the emperor made such a confused decision.

"Cheng Jin, just say it, don't be afraid."

Li Shuting looked at Wen Chengjin and whispered.

Cheng Jin didn't say anything, he just kowtowed deeply, then stood up, his tone was firm and serious.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a woman from the Wen family is not a concubine. Moreover, Cheng Jin has always treated Prince Jun as his elder brother and has no other thoughts. Please take back your promise."

Neither humble nor arrogant, but he rejected the emperor so decisively.

Many people in the palace looked at the emperor involuntarily and rejected the emperor's will. He must be very angry.

But who knew that the emperor didn't show any anger at all, and remained calm and gentle.

Gu Junheng had a bad premonition in his heart. He couldn't help but look at the prince, frowned, and was about to go to the prince's side.

"Miss Wen is right. It is always not good for Miss Wen to be a concubine, not even a concubine. I was wrong."

But just as Gu Junheng made a move, the emperor spoke.

Wen Chengjin felt relieved and wanted to thank him.

However, the emperor continued to speak, looking at Wen Chengjin seriously, and then focused on the prince.

"The prince was originally engaged to the eldest princess' daughter, the head of Xiling County, but she conspired against her. Xiling cannot escape the blame. Although I was merciful and did not allow her to be exiled, I only demoted her to a commoner. Naturally, the marriage to the prince was considered There are countless of them, but now that the prince is getting older, the position of the crown princess is still empty. I see that Miss Wen is beautiful and dignified, with a graceful literary posture, proficient in poetry and writing, and a loyal and good person. I can make you the crown prince and stay with the prince. In a hundred years, we will grow old together.”

At this time, it was the prince's turn to change his expression and look at the emperor in disbelief.

Then he smiled bitterly in his heart, his face full of helplessness and a hint of resentment.

It turned out that my father's ultimate goal was not Gu Junheng, but himself.

"Miss Wen, I ask you if you are willing this time?"

She was originally an orphan, but now she has become a noble princess.

No matter who puts it in front of such a huge good thing, there is no reason to refuse it.

What's more, Wen Chengjin said before that she didn't want to be a concubine. This time, the prince and his wife are not only noble, but also his wife. She had already rejected the emperor once, and now both Wen Chengjin and Li Shuting beside her knew it.

There is no reason to refuse again.

Even though the emperor was willing to make amends after Zhongliang, Wen Chengjin also knew that he could not tolerate his refusal to agree to this matter.

"Your Majesty's heavenly grace is so great. If my mentor, Quanxia, ​​knew about it, he would be extremely grateful."

Seeing that Wen Chengjin didn't know what to do, Li Shuting gritted his teeth and kowtowed directly to thank him.

This action also brought Cheng Jin back to his senses.

Then he also kowtowed with Li Shuting.

"Cheng Jin thanks your Majesty for your grace."

As an orphan, she had no capital to compete with the emperor, so she had no choice but to agree.

The emperor's purpose was to appease the people and those who had been favored by the Wen family.

He didn't care about the wishes of Wen Chengjin and the prince at all.

"Father, you clearly know my son."

When the prince heard Wen Chengjin's promise, he was greatly shocked. His face could not help but become solemn, and he wanted to say something to the emperor.

"Prince, Miss Wen has already agreed to this marriage. My father's move is also to find a home for Miss Wen. Wen Xiang once taught you. If you refuse again, Miss Wen will lose face."

The emperor spoke to the prince seriously.

But even Gu Junheng could hear the warning in his tone clearly.

How does Miss Wen's family behave?

This sentence is obviously saying that if the prince does not agree, Miss Wen's reputation will not only be in jeopardy, but she may have to die to prove her ambition.

A threat is simply a threat.

Not to mention his life, neither the prince nor Gu Junheng would allow it to happen just because Wen Cheng's reputation could not be guaranteed.

His words were swallowed immediately, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Gu Junheng suddenly felt extremely irritable. He also guessed what the emperor meant, and he also didn't know what to do.

Having just cleared the Wen family of their grievances, they didn't want anything bad to happen to Wen Chengjin again.

"In addition, Miss Yaoguang from Prince Jin's Palace, although she comes from a worldly background, is bright and upright, chivalrous and courageous. She is specially given to the Crown Prince as a side concubine, ranking under the Crown Princess."

Fluctuating light, concubine.

The emperor's decision seemed to be soothing, and even the prince couldn't help but laugh.

His good father didn't even think that he would get what he wanted.

As long as he controls the ministers by himself, no one can disobey him, not even his own son.

There was no Xiling in front, but now there was Wen Chengjin who couldn't refuse.

It's really the nine-turn mind, the emperor's mind.

"Your Majesty, Yaoguang is my junior sister. He already has someone he likes. It is not appropriate to marry the prince as a concubine. Moreover, Yaoguang comes from a world of martial arts, so I might not be used to it. Since I am her brother, I should think of her. This time It’s inappropriate, please take back your Majesty’s order and keep the marriage secret, I will understand.”

However, this time Gu Junheng came out and refused without hesitation.

"Gu Junheng, do you dare to resist the decree?" (End of Chapter)
