The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 212
Meng Xianxian looked at her maid, a little hesitant, she didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs.

King Ding sighed and lowered his voice, "Cousin, your cousin Huaibi lost his mother in the early years, and King Jing has been very indifferent to him these years, and now he is plotting against him like this, and also caused Miss Gu to be wronged, so you can help me Me once? Don't worry, Huai Bi is a man of measure. He will not use this to ask his father to punish King Jing. It is rumored that it is our royal family's reputation. He just wants to ask his father to allow him to be the master of his own marriage. , to avoid such scandals in the future.”

When he said this, Meng Xianxian thought of the grievances suffered by his sister-in-law today, and his resentment towards King Jing and his wife welled up, so he nodded.

King Ding pampered her head fondly, and said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, remember to ask for a big red seal from your cousin Huaibi for Nannan. If he doesn't tell you, I will snatch it for you."

Meng Xianxian was amused by him, and softly persuaded: "Second brother, go quickly, don't make cousin Huaibi wait." She also had to go to appease her sister-in-law, and she had to think about how to explain to her husband when he came back.

King Ding nodded, and took Liu Xia to the palace.

Cheng Yu was already waiting for him outside the palace gate. As soon as the two brothers met, King Ding showed a smug smile, and Cheng Yu gave him a grateful glance.

At this time, there was still a while before lunch, and Emperor Mingde was reviewing the memorial in the Chongzheng Hall. Hearing that his son had come with his nephew who was supposed to be recuperating at home, it was quite novel, so he asked someone to announce them to come in.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Cheng Yu." On one side, Cheng Yu plopped down and knelt down towards the man in dragon robe who was sitting cross-legged on the warm couch, touching his forehead to the ground.Behind him, Liu Xia also knelt down obediently, only King Ding stood aside with a look of resentment on his face.

Ming Dedi was amazed, "What's going on?"

Cheng Yu straightened up, lowered his eyes, and reported what happened in Prince Jing's Mansion today. With the testimony of the servant girl of Princess Yongfu, Emperor Mingde immediately believed nine points. As for the remaining points, he was the same as Liu Xia. The son wanted Gu Lan out of lust, not because he had inhaled the fragrance, but it was a trivial matter, and Emperor Ming De didn't bother to expose it, so he just glanced at his son meaningfully.

King Ding smiled embarrassingly, without denying it.

His son did not pretend to be confused with him, and Emperor Mingde would not pursue it any further. He asked Liuxia to be taken out of the palace first, then he stroked his beard and sighed: "Your father, you are indeed confused, Huaibi gets up first. Well, I will say a few words about him at the family dinner this year." King Jing dotes on the third concubine, favors the youngest son and neglects the first two sons, he knows it.

Cheng Yu didn't get up, and lowered his eyes and said: "The emperor knows why the father is so eager to arrange a marriage for me?"

Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows, looked at his son, King Ding also looked blank, "Could it be that there is something hidden?"

Cheng Yu laughed self-deprecatingly, "To tell you the truth, I have liked my cousin from the Yunyang Hou Mansion since I was a child, but unfortunately my cousin and cousin Wenjia are childhood sweethearts, so I can only take care of their siblings silently. The year before last, my cousin fell from a height and hurt her brain. I forgot about my cousin Wenjia, but because I stayed by her side when she was awake, she gradually fell in love with me. I was very happy. I wanted to propose marriage to Marquis Yunyang after my cousin got married next year, but my father urged her It's tight, I was forced to make a marriage agreement years ago, so I made it clear to my father and begged my father to make the decision for me."

"He knew that you liked your cousin, but he still designed you like this?" King Ding's eyes were about to crack, and his fists slammed.

Emperor Ming De also frowned.

Cheng Yu smiled wryly and continued, "Yes, my father didn't allow it. I asked him why he didn't allow it. My father said that my relationship with Marquis Yunyang was stiff, and Marquis Yunyang wouldn't marry his daughter to me. It was a waste of time for him to go. Then I first went to ask Yun... I asked my uncle, but my uncle refused at first. It was my cousin who was determined to marry me, so my uncle agreed. I went to ask my father again, and my father said that he would think about it for a few days, and then today he You asked me to come over and say you wanted to discuss a marriage, but who would have expected it to be a grand banquet."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Emperor Mingde again, "Your Majesty, my father does not allow me to marry my cousin. I can only beg the emperor and his uncle to make the decision for me. My nephew lost his mother when he was young and was not liked by his father. Apart from his aunt, only his cousin Treat me sincerely, and ask Uncle Huang to make the decision for my nephew, and let me and my cousin be fulfilled."

He knocked his head three times heavily, and when he raised himself up again, his eye circles were red.

"No prospect." Ding Wang cursed in a low voice, then turned and went to the window, with his back to this side.

Emperor Mingde didn't expect that there was such a reason behind it.Thinking about the daughter-in-law Cheng Jingrong picked for his son, he didn't want to marry Chu Qing's daughter for his second son. What about a dwarf?
But they are all sons, why is he so partial?Especially Cheng Yu, with a dignified, calm and capable appearance, Emperor Mingde liked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't worry, Huai Bi. Last night, the Queen Mother discussed with me about next year's spring draft. The decree will be issued in the next two days, ordering fifth-rank officials and above-aged women from the mansion to enter the palace to participate in the election. Since you and your cousin are in love with each other, I will replace you next year." When your second elder brother and the others chose the princess, they also arranged for you to get married. Your father and the king refused, so I personally acted as a matchmaker for you."

Draft?Choose a princess for him?
King Ding looked over in surprise.

Cheng Yu's heart sank suddenly, he had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince would take the lead.
