Chapter 276 Asking for a Marriage
It was a humiliating farce, only the eldest princess paid the price, and Bai Shao became famous for being implicated, other than that, no one was unlucky.

That Hao Yun married into the second prince's mansion as a side concubine, it's not bad.

The second prince gained even more, and from this incident, he found out the old emperor's love for him - he didn't even blame this kind of thing, but took care of it for him.

What does this represent?
It represents the second prince's supreme honor and favor, and it represents that the second prince is almost certain to be the next emperor.

So all of a sudden, the second prince was even more popular than before, and many ministers surrounded him to support him and follow him.

It is not too much to say that the second prince was a blessing in disguise.

Also because of this, the second prince's attitude towards Bai Shao eased down - he didn't hate her madly as before, but expressed his intention to marry her as a side concubine again.

Because of the previous incident, Bai Shao hated the second prince so much that he didn't even want to act for a minute, so he directly refused.

The second prince was dissatisfied, because Gu Qingfan's support was too important to him - one Gu Qingfan was worth the support of half of the court ministers combined, so although he was sure that the old emperor belonged to him, but because he was afraid of other brothers, He still wanted to bring Gu Qingfan into his side.

So after thinking about it again and again, the second prince actually sent someone to spread the fact that he saw Bai Shao wearing obscene clothes, and then used this to force Bai Shao to marry him.

Zhen Guogong Mansion, in Bai Shao's yard.

When Ruan heard these rumors early in the morning, she was so angry that the servant girl called Gu Qingfan over, and she began to lose her temper, "What's going on, I've already rested two days ago, isn't the second prince already sure that he can Do you want to sit in that seat? Why don't you let go of my Qingqing now, what exactly does he want to do?"

Gu Qingfan just heard these rumors, rubbed his brows with some headaches and said, "Mother, the second prince made it clear that he wants to marry Ban Qing as a side concubine, but he knows that after what happened last time, it is impossible for us to be calm He wanted to marry Wan Qing to him, so he used these low-handed methods to stir up rumors and rumors again, trying to force us to marry Qing Qing to him."

"Impossible, he's dreaming, I won't marry Qingqing to him even if I die, dreaming." Ruan shouted angrily.

"But mother, just because you don't let Wan Qing marry, doesn't mean that people in the Zhen Guogong's mansion don't want Wan Qing to marry." Speaking of this, Gu Qingfan's eyes darkened, "Mother, do you still remember the last time, when Wan Qing married?" After being taken away, a servant girl jumped out and said that Wan Qing is missing, I followed that servant girl down to check, but who did I find, mother knows?"

"Whose body?" Ruan Shi was taken aback and asked quickly.

Gu Qingfan's eyes sank, and he spit out two words, "Mr. Lu."

Ruan stayed on the seat, and after a while, she stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "It's her? It's her? She had contact with the second prince before? What does she want to do? Daddy will never participate in any seizure of the throne in his life. Clean, only loyal to the emperor, otherwise, how could the Duke of Zhenguo have been prosperous until now! But that Lu family, what exactly does she want to do? Does she want to destroy the Duke of Zhenguo? No, I have to tell my father. "

"There is no conclusive evidence, and grandpa loves Lu Shi so much now, some things should not be said for the time being." Gu Qingfan reached out to stop Ruan Shi, and persuaded, "Mother, I will send someone to keep an eye on Lu Shi. "

"But what about my Qingqing?" Ruan shook her body in a state of confusion, pulled Gu Qingfan's sleeve, and said nervously, "Qingfan, Qingqing really can't marry into the second prince's mansion, then Although the second prince still wants to marry her, he may not hate her in his heart, if Qingqing really marries, he will suffer for the rest of his life."

"No mother." Gu Qingfan comforted her, "In fact, there is already a solution."

"What way?" Bai Shao, who had finished grooming, came out slowly from the room, and asked with a serious face.

Gu Qingfan glanced at her, then at the anxious Ruan Shi, and said slowly, "That means marrying Wan Qing to someone else."

What a good way!

Ruan stomped her feet angrily, and said in a hurry, "Let's not say that Qingqing is only 11 years old, I don't want to marry her, even if I find a husband, I have to choose one, how can I just do it casually to avoid the second prince?" Find someone to marry, no, I don't agree."

"I don't agree either." Bai Shao also said, "I don't want to marry someone casually."

Gu Qingfan glanced at Bai Shao with some amusement, "Are you sure you really don't want to marry?"

Asked this question, Bai Shao didn't know why, but couldn't categorically say the words of rejection.

Because she suddenly thought of a boy.

A young man who has a good relationship with Gu Qingfan.

For a moment, Bai Shao's heart was a little excited, she looked at Gu Qingfan in disbelief, "You mean..."

"That's right." Gu Qingfan nodded with a smile, "Since the second prince is using the obscenity to force you, the fourth prince has no choice but to stand up..."

At this time, on the Golden Luan Hall.

Wearing a dark blue robe, a golden crown, and a folding fan hanging from his waist, Yan Shu with picturesque eyebrows was standing in front of all the ministers, bending over neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a loud voice, "I report to my father, my son has a I have to ask Father to decide."

"Tell me." The aged Emperor Tianyu sat on the Dragon Throne, his eyes could not be calmed, and his voice did not fluctuate.

"Returning to the emperor's words, Erchen is already eighteen years old, and the brothers have already married the main concubine and side concubine, and they have taken care of many children, but Erchen is still alone, and Erchen's heart is really a bit desolate. " said the old god Yan Shu.

"Oh? You are, want to get married?" Emperor Tianyu was finally aroused by his words, propped his elbows on the dragon chair, and said with great interest, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to someone?" Qianjin? Tell me and listen."

The second prince standing at the front suddenly became a little uneasy, but he remembered that his fourth brother admired that young lady of the Gu family very much.

Now that he is using gossip to force the Gu family to marry Gu Wanqing, will this younger brother be afraid that he will marry Gu Wanqing away, so he will act first and ask for a marriage?
Thinking of this, the second prince hastily interrupted what Yan Shu was about to say, bent over with a smile and cupped his hands and said, "I want to tell my father, my son also has something to say."

"Oh? Kuo'er also has something to say?" Emperor Tianyu raised his eyebrows, and set his eyes on Yan Kuo, his expression was much softer than when he looked at Yan Shu.

Yan Shu's eyes darkened a little, and he also turned to look at the second prince, obviously wanting to see what he wanted to say.

"I would like to report to my father, I have also taken a fancy to a girl these days..." The second prince smiled and said, "If possible, I would like to ask my father to give me a marriage with that girl."

Although giving a marriage may not be very effective - you know, given Gu Qingfan's importance, if he firmly opposes it, then the emperor will not forcefully give Gu Wanqing a marriage considering the safety of the frontier.

This is why the second prince never thought of asking the emperor to give him a marriage directly before, but thought of using various means to force the Gu family to submit.

But now, seeing that the fourth prince may ask His Majesty to marry Miss Gu for him, the second prince can no longer remain silent—anyway, it is better to act first, even if the old emperor did not marry Miss Gu to him. Shu can no longer compete with him.

You know, it's not very pleasant to compete with your brother for the title of woman.

Yan Shu didn't like the emperor's heart at all, if this ugly incident happened again, he might be thrown into the cold palace completely, and even his concubine mother would be affected.

Therefore, the purpose of the second prince's move is not to grant a marriage, but to cut off the possibility of Yan Shu and Bai Shao.

Yan Shu saw through what he was doing, and was annoyed in his heart. He turned his head and said loudly to Emperor Tianyu, "Father, the second brother just married a young lady from the Hao family as a side concubine a few days ago, and now he is going to marry again. I'm afraid it's not very good."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hao Shangshu standing behind the second prince.

Hao Shangshu just married a daughter, and he doesn't want the second prince to marry again. You know, if there is another woman in the second prince's backyard, it will be Hao Yun's favor.

It's a pity that this is a matter for the royal family, he couldn't intervene, so he could only stand behind the second prince with a droopy face, without saying a word - although he didn't say anything, his expression was there.

Emperor Tianyu is old and smart, and has long seen the turbulent waves here, but he didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile, "The fourth brother is right, Kuoer, you just married the daughter of the Hao family into the house a few days ago. Since you should treat the daughter of the Hao family well, let's talk about the marriage in the future."

With that said, he was about to step back and leave.

Yan Shu knelt down on the ground with sharp eyes and quick hands, and said loudly, "Father, the second brother is not suitable for giving a marriage, but the son is already full. When the second brother was the age of the son, the eldest daughter was already several years old. Now I am asking my father to grant me a marriage, to satisfy my wish for a child."

"Oh?" Emperor Tianyu frowned, "Then tell me, who is it?"

"Yes..." Yan Shu turned his head slightly, glanced at the second prince with a livid face, raised his lips and smiled at him, and said loudly, "If you go back to the emperor, it is the daughter of the Gu family, Miss Gu Wanqing. My son has spoken to her several times." When we met each other, I found that she was beautiful in appearance, kind-hearted, noble in status but did not insist on bullying the weak, and was very pleased with my son. Now I hope that my father can give me a marriage, and my son wants to win her back to the fourth prince's residence. , to be the official concubine of the minister, and stay with the minister for the rest of his life, never to be separated!"

After some sonorous words, Emperor Tianyu couldn't help being moved.

"He's an infatuated child." He turned his head sideways, as if remembering something from the past, and muttered a few words, "I'm infatuated, I'm infatuated... I think back then..."

Yan Shu raised his head and looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would nod and grant this marriage.

"Oh." The old emperor sighed and said loudly, "..."
