Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 223 Gu Pan's Uncertainty

But her father told her that His Highness the Crown Prince was doing this, and he couldn't get in the way. Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials would put a big hat on him, and then their Sima family would come to an end.

She understands all these reasons, but the problem is, watching that person leave alone, she always has different feelings in her heart, sour and bitter.

For the past two days, Sima Yun'er has been praying and praying in the Buddhist hall every day, hoping that that person can live well to the frontier without any accidents.But, does praying really work?If praying is really useful, how many souls will be saved in this world!
Concubine Xiang caressed the puppet. Although the carving was a bit clumsy and not lifelike, it made her feel safe and warm. The feeling of being cared for by others was really very comfortable.

Pretending not to care, he took the puppet in his hand and played with it a few times, looking at His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince provocatively.

"The carving is so ugly? It can't be my palace. I don't think so. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince should give this puppet to his sweetheart! It's not for me. Doesn't His Royal Highness know this?"

Quan Heji listened to what Zuo Xiangying said, and was a little panicked for a while. This puppet was originally carved in the image of Concubine Xiang, and was intended to be given to her, but now it seems that Concubine Xiang is not Not very concerned.

For a while, I felt a little lost and didn't know how to please her.

"But if you look closely, it looks a little bit like Ben Gong. Your Highness, Fourth Prince, is it possible that this is really Ben Gong?"

Originally, he was already very gloomy, and his heart was full of stuffiness, but suddenly he heard what the concubine Xiang said, and a glimmer of hope was ignited again.

"This one is just for the concubine Xiang. I hope you like it. My technique is not good, but I can continue to practice when I go back. When the time comes, I will give you another one. I hope you don't dislike it."

The two were chatting and laughing in the palace of Concubine Xiang, and Concubine Xiang was leaning on the soft couch charmingly and weakly, playing with the puppet in her hand.Besides, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince kept saying things to make her happy, causing Concubine Xiang to smile at the end of her eyes.

For a moment, both of them were a little selfless, and they didn't pay much attention to their words, especially His Royal Highness, the fourth prince, who even forgot to call himself the palace, and kept talking about me, me, mine.

It's just something neither of them knew. Looking at them, there was a pair of flustered eyes in the distance.

At this time, in the Queen's Palace, a maid ran into the Queen's Palace in a panic, knelt down as soon as she entered, and finished speaking after stumbling.

"What did you say? His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince went to find Concubine Xiang, and even gave a sculpture to that little bitch."

"This little bitch really can't be safe for a moment, and even took advantage of my fright to seduce my son. I won't let her go. Besides, my son is not worthy of anyone. "

"Go to the imperial dining room and instruct the imperial chef to make some cakes that the emperor likes to eat. I will go to see the emperor in the afternoon. Don't you know by mistake?"

The queen didn't know what to think, her eyes showed a smug look, she looked at a maid beside her and said casually.

After the little maid left, the queen's face became even uglier. It seemed that she had to find a way to deal with this little bitch. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In this palace, there are many rules!
In the afternoon, the empress took some cakes and went to the study to visit the emperor. The emperor felt flattered for a moment, and warmly received the empress. The two chatted happily like an old married couple.

Halfway through the talk, the queen glanced around, and a few servants and some servants who were also very knowledgeable went out. The emperor looked at the queen and was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

The empress carefully considered her own language, trying to make herself appear weak, and let the emperor make up her mind, so when she spoke, she had basically drafted several times in her stomach.

The emperor frowned when he heard what she said, he had seen too many tricks in the harem, and he was a little tired, so he felt a little impatient.

"If the queen has something to say, just tell me, I'm listening!"

The queen looked at the emperor's appearance, thinking that the emperor must have misunderstood her, so she became more cheerful and weak, which made the emperor look at her with admiration.

"Is this how things are? Isn't Heji already an adult? The concubine is planning to find a concubine for him. Among the court officials, the concubine has taken a fancy to the daughter of a scholar's family. She is knowledgeable and dignified. The gentle and generous one is especially suitable for the fourth prince."

Hearing what the queen said, the emperor lightly tapped the dragon chair with his finger. Among the court ministers, there are indeed several families with daughters of the right age.Among them, the daughter of Huan University's scholar family is the most outstanding, dignified lady, quite talented, and is the best candidate to be the princess and queen.

But now that the emperor heard what the queen said, he planned to betroth the daughter of Huanda scholar's family to the fourth prince. He originally wanted to leave this woman to His Royal Highness, but now he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Fourth prince, he hasn't grown up yet, his personality is not stable at all, and he is extremely stubborn. How can he make a college student willingly marry his daughter to him!"

"Let's wait and see about this matter first. If the fourth prince can become calmer and make me, the emperor, look at him with admiration, I will find the best woman for him."

Originally listening to the emperor's words, the queen felt uncomfortable, but when she heard the latter, she felt that she had a small stomach.

Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she had always trusted the emperor, so she dispelled that doubt.

Afterwards, the two spent some more time together, the emperor did not go to the concubine Xiang's place today, but followed the queen to the empress's palace, the concubine Xiang didn't feel angry when she heard it, instead her eyes were full of joy.

In the early morning of the next day, the bachelor stood up and said that he asked the emperor to give her daughter a marriage, and his daughter had reached the age of marriage.

The emperor smiled when he heard it, and looked at His Royal Highness the First Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing in the middle of the court (the fourth prince did not come to the court because he had not yet assumed a post in the Sixth Ministry.)
"Bachelor, your daughter is very precious. She was allowed to be married off two years ago, but now she has stayed for two more years. How could she be willing to do so this time?"

The emperor has always been very satisfied with the daughter of the university scholar's family, and has always kept it for His Royal Highness. Although the university does not have much real power in its hands, it has a very high reputation among the people.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a father-in-law. For him, it is good to consolidate his status among the people, and it will also dispel the impression that the Crown Prince is brutal in the hearts of the people.

"The little girl was really reluctant to part with me a few years ago, but now she has become a big girl, and I dare not delay any longer, so today I asked the emperor to marry me."

Hearing what the Grand Scholar said, the emperor laughed out loud. Since what happened with the third prince, the emperor has not smiled for a long time.Now he finally showed a smile, and the originally gloomy court was also full of joy at the moment.

The emperor looked at the prince standing upright in the hall, tapped the dragon chair a few times with his fingers, and finally nodded himself.

"Aiqing, what do you think of His Royal Highness, it should be enough to match your daughter!"

When he heard this sentence, the Grand Scholar and His Royal Highness the First Prince had completely different expressions. His Highness was impatient, and there was a hint of evasion.

The scholar's face was full of joy. After the last incident, he already knew the ability of His Royal Highness, and the emperor also trusted His Royal Highness. It is very possible that his daughter will become a queen in the future.

His Royal Highness the First Prince is completely livid. He has taken the time to visit the Grand Scholars' Mansion a few days ago, and he also likes that woman. She is very beautiful, talented and dignified. Being his concubine is a the best.

He already has some side concubines and some concubines, and he only needs one concubine.

It is most suitable for the daughter of a bachelor to become his official concubine, but his father's move was obviously biased, which made him feel cold, and at the same time decided to take action against His Highness the Crown Prince.

The emperor looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who lowered his head and said nothing. The emperor is a wise monarch. He is very valuable to Cai Zhengliang. Seeing him at this moment, he did not express his opinion, so he subconsciously asked him.

"Whether Aiqing thinks this marriage is suitable, and what does His Highness the Crown Prince think, you can tell me."

Cai Zhengliang came out, looked at the emperor respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is okay. Even if the two of them are placed among the people, they are both talented and beautiful, and they are incomparably right."

Cai Zhengliang is a pure minister, he is only loyal to the emperor, he doesn't care about the rest, let alone forming a clique, and now His Majesty the Emperor asks him to assist the Crown Prince, which shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the next monarch.

"Father, I can't. My son is not in good health. I know I'm not good enough for Huan girl. Besides, there are many things that have not been dealt with. My son really doesn't have that kind of thought. Please forgive me."

Hearing what His Royal Highness said, the emperor thought that he was just being modest for a while, and there was a little satisfaction in his eyes.

"Prince, you are in your prime and your health is fine. It's time to start a family and start a business. Your father has let you play games for many years. This time you have to listen."

The bachelor was wiping the cold sweat off his head with his sleeve. He originally thought that as long as the emperor said something, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would immediately agree.

But now it seems that he just thought too much. Not only did His Royal Highness not agree, but he also opposed it very much, although the objection was more tactful.

"Father, this son-in-law may really go against your wishes this time! In this life, son-in-law must find someone he loves to spend the rest of his life with, so he can only go against father's will, and hope father will be fulfilled."

How did this early morning end?It was the emperor who slapped the dragon chair with a slap, his beard was about to blow up, he flicked his sleeves and strode away from the court, leaving the remaining ministers trembling in shock.
