Chapter 1077 What Kind of Son-in-Law Does My Husband Want?
Chapter 1077 What Kind of Son-in-Law Does My Husband Want?
The Imperial Observatory naturally knew how the officials viewed this matter. People even suspected that it was they who spread the wonders of "red light penetrating the purple sky" and "pomegranates bearing seeds in the cold winter" when the prince and princess were born.
But they are wronged.
Those rumors really have nothing to do with their Imperial Observatory.
Today, the Emperor did hint that the Imperial Observatory should do something, but the statement that "a new auxiliary star appeared next to the Purple Star Emperor" is true. They have always been dedicated and abided by the rules, and would never talk nonsense.
If we must say what they did to flatter, it was nothing more than "it complements the red jade crown worn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today."
Isn't this what the situation requires?
The little prince suddenly had an epiphany.
What has a mouth that can swallow up all the affairs of the world?
It’s the historian’s pen!
Over the years, he thought about it and asked people everywhere, but no one told him.
Everyone told him, "When you grow up, you will understand it slowly."
Even his own uncle Shi Yunqi told him that as long as he understood one day "what it means to have a mouth to swallow the rise and fall of the world", all other problems would not be important.
After the court session, the young prince did not leave directly, but instead basked in the sunshine in the square in front of the palace with the officials, discussing land tax, water conservancy and people's livelihood issues.
He even asked them, "What do you think is a wise ruler?"
All officials were silent for a moment, and then began to discuss loudly.
These ministers who had experienced the "Chengyu Disaster" were like real gold after the great waves, and their positions were clear.
At this moment, every word of his words was soaked with sincerity tempered by blood and fire, "An old minister dares to speak, a wise ruler should be like a scale, and not change the power of the stars because of closeness."
"I believe that a wise ruler should be like firewood and charcoal, burning himself to warm the people."
"I think..."
Outside the Qingyu Palace, hundreds of officials argued and expressed their opinions.
The flower-viewing banquet in the harem was equally impressive.
Today we are admiring the wintersweet.
The rare warm winter sun penetrated the gray clouds, shining on the hairpins of the ladies in the court, and broke into rain of light.
The monthly flower-viewing banquet was suspended for several months due to the "Chengyu Disaster". It was restarted today, and it felt like a lifetime ago.
The seating arrangement of the imperial ladies has quietly changed
Some have moved forward from the last position, some have been adjusted from the front to the back, and some have disappeared.
The queen is still the same queen, but she is more noble and majestic than before.
Such overwhelming rumors and doubts did not defeat her. The Yu Emperor believed in her and kept her firmly protected in the palace, not letting the wind and rain touch her in the slightest.
The ladies were very envious.
If it were me, I would have been kicked out by the man long ago.
The ladies were so in awe of the Queen that they even ate less slowly.
After the banquet, Emperor Yu came with his two daughters to pick up the Queen.
The whole family sat together, waiting for the little prince to come back from court.
"It's been a whole day, why haven't you come back yet?" Shi Anxia asked.
Cen Yuan said, "I heard that he was sitting in the square in front of the palace chatting with the officials. He is a good candidate. Let him govern the country first, and then I can abdicate and take you mother and daughter on a tour."
San San was particularly happy, "Father, are you serious?"
"When has father ever lied to you?" Cen Yuan raised his hand and touched the top of his daughter's head.
Er Er raised his calm eyes, "But my daughter heard that Wusong Country wants to make peace with our Liang Country."
There are only two princesses in the palace, either her or her younger sister.
And at that time, my father did not refuse.
Shi Anxia touched her daughter's face lovingly, but changed the subject, "What does Er Er want to do most?"
Er Er hesitated for a moment, "Just say what you think?"
"Of course," Shi Anxia said with a smile, "If you can't speak freely in front of your parents, wouldn't it be tiring to live?"
Er Er said, "I don't want to get married early. I want to... to be the Crown Prince's staff."
Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan looked at each other and smiled.
Er Er blushed, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Your son knows that this is against the rules. Daughters are born to marry and obey their husbands."
She is a princess and has greater responsibilities.
The more glory you receive in your childhood, the more you will have to repay it with your whole life.
Cen Yuan said, "It is indeed against the rules." He paused, and when he saw the light in his daughter's eyes gradually dim, he said in a deep voice, "It is a bit unfair for my princess to be a staff member of the East Palace. However, it is okay for you to follow your brother to gain some experience. He has a wild temper, so you can suppress him and remind him from time to time, which will be good for him."
Er Er raised his head suddenly, "Father, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true."
"No need for marriage?"
"Who told you that the princess must marry a foreign prince? Didn't I tell you earlier that my princess would not marry a foreign prince? You didn't listen at all."
San San ate the fruit without looking up, "I have heard it, and I never worry about this."
Well, sister is just worrying about nothing!
"But why didn't the emperor directly reject the envoy from Wusong Kingdom?" Er Er didn't understand.
Shi Anxia smiled and said, "No response, no further discussion, means refusal. The envoy of Wusong Country took advantage of your father's suppression of the rebellion to propose a marriage, and he was sure that we dare not refuse."
"But why do we dare to do that?" San San was puzzled.
Er Er understood, "Because we have the North Wing as our backing. As long as the war breaks out, our uncles in the North Wing will rush to the battlefield to support us and fight together with us."
After the two daughters finished their meal, they got the answers they wanted and went back to their bedroom happily hand in hand.
Cen Yuan said, "It seems that if we go out of the palace for a tour, we can only take one daughter with us."
Obviously, Er Er's mind was not on playing at all.
Shi Anxia smiled and responded, "Yes, Er Er has a face that knows the fate of the world at such a young age. He is a man of great ambitions."
"like you."
"She might be better than me." Shi Anxia suddenly thought of a question, "What kind of person does my husband want as a son-in-law?"
Cen Yuan was stunned, not very happy about this topic, "Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"
"I'm just asking casually, how about someone like my cousin Tang Xinghe?"
"No, no." Cen Yuan hurriedly shook her head. "Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang are both bad. Sometimes they can make people angry to death, but people don't even know that they are angry. My daughter will definitely not be able to stand this kind of anger."
"What about my brother's type?"
Cen Yuan thought about it and shook his head, "No."
"Isn't that enough? Personality, appearance, talent, what's wrong with me?"
"He's good in everything, but this type is not suitable for my daughter." Cen Yuan began to make excuses, "This type of man is too quiet, Er Er is also quiet, the two taciturn people can go half a month without talking when they meet. San San is too naive, can't keep up with other people's ideas, and will feel depressed."
"What about Ma Chuyi's type?"
"No, no, absolutely no." He denied it outright.
"You're optimistic about him, aren't you? He married Ming Zhao and is living a good life. He seems to have come to his senses now. I think he's doing well."
Cen Yuan shook her head. "What's good about that? His life is too rough. My daughter can't bear such hardship."
"I'm asking about character."
"That's not good either."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nowhere is good."
Shi Anxia mentioned several more names, but without exception, they were all rejected by Cen Yuan.
Shi Anxia suppressed her smile and said, "According to what you said, there is no man in the world who is worthy of your daughter."
"You're right again. I don't think anyone is worthy of my daughter." Cen Yuan said slowly, "Er Er will go to the Honglu Temple to take up a post, and San San will follow us on tours. Why would she marry? No, no, we can support her."
