Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Chapter 270 Marriage Proposal (Part Two)

Cining Palace.

The palace is tall and luxurious.

The Empress Dowager was dignified and majestic, sitting upright on the soft bed, with a hint of anger on her well-maintained face, "For a woman, uncle and nephew fought, such absurd thing happened in the royal family, they are really promising!"

Wang Can stood in the middle of the hall and continued to report, "That's not counting. After Zhaoping was taken away by the King of Jin, the prince's soul was also lost. Just now when the minister sent him back to the mansion, he followed the devil like a demon. Someone arranged a small courtyard into a new house, saying something, wrong, always wrong."

The Queen Mother felt distressed and helpless, and sighed, "Zhao Jiajing produced some seeds of infatuation. The Ai family thought that he was going for the phoenix that day. This appearance seems to have deep roots of love. Danyang has grown up since childhood. Growing up with him, no matter if it's temperament or appearance, I'm not picky, so why can't I win his heart?"

Wang Can lowered his eyes, "Now that Danyang is seventeen years old, it's time to get married."

"Naturally. If it had been decided for them earlier, so many things would not have happened." The Queen Mother rubbed Yu Ruyi, pondered for a moment, "Wait for the limelight of this matter to pass, and the Ai family will give them both It doesn't matter if the prince likes it or not when you give him a marriage. He wants to be single-minded, and he still has the side concubine's seat."

Wang Can knelt down and cupped his hands, "My minister, thank you, Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked him to get up, "The Ai family is your aunt, so naturally I hope the Wang family is well. For the present plan, we should deal with this matter first, so as not to make a fuss in the end."

Wang Can got up, frowned and said, "There are too many people at the banquet, although they didn't see what happened, but they all saw King Jin rushing into the Hengxie Pavilion with a sword in hand, and saw King Jin and the county magistrate We left the mansion in the same carriage, and we can almost guess the inside story. If you want to suppress this matter, you will not be able to suppress it."

The Queen Mother said softly, "This is the brilliance of King Jin's work. He did it with such fanfare, and the emperor would not be able to punish him. The prince robbed the emperor's uncle's woman. The emperor's uncle is a man of temperament, so he can't lose his composure once." Is it? Instead, everyone should give him a big compliment."

A eunuch came in and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, Prince Jin is here to greet you and is waiting outside."

The Empress Dowager's expression flashed unexpectedly, and she exchanged a glance with Wang Can, "Let him in."

She said to Wang Can again, "You step back."

"My minister retire."

Wang Can bowed his hands and retreated, and met Zhao Chengyuan at the gate of the hall.

He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My lord, you are here."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Wang leaving in such a hurry?"

Wang Can smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is worried about His Royal Highness, so she came to report the situation of the Prince. Now the report is over."

"Is the prince okay?"

Wang Can said with a smile, "The prince has old wounds on his body, so it is inevitable that he will not be beaten. Now he is lying in the prince's mansion."

"Well. It seems to be all right."

Zhao Chengyuan entered the hall with his hands behind his back.

He cupped his hands and said, "My son, pay respects to the queen mother."

The Queen Mother smiled and waved to him, "Lao Qi is here, come and sit."

She then ordered the palace servants, "Serve the prince tea and his favorite jade aloe."

Palace people should prepare refreshments.

Zhao Chengyuan stood there without moving, and said with a smile, "I'm here to receive the board, so I dare not sit down."

The Queen Mother glared at him and said angrily, "You and the Crown Prince fought a lot when you were two children. When did the Ai family beat you?"

Zhao Chengyuan asked with a smile, "Is the queen mother not angry?"

The Queen Mother patted the short table on the couch, "If you don't sit down, Aijia will be angry!"

Zhao Chengyuan stepped forward with a smile, lifted his robe and sat on the other side of the couch.

The palace servants served tea and snacks and retreated.

The queen mother pushed the dim sum to his side, sighed, "It is false to say that you are not angry at all. You are both in your twenties, and you are the most stable on weekdays. Why are you so unconscious today? I'm so upset, I let others see the joke for no reason!"

"It's the son's fault that makes the queen mother sad."

Zhao Chengyuan poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother, and said, "Mother, you also know that the son is used to being alone, and has no interest in the relationship between children. Back then, the emperor gave the marriage to the son and Zhaoping, but the son did not respond. But That girl is really cute, after getting along with her for a long time, the son-in-law developed some affection. When the son-in-law saw the prince hugging Zhaoping, the blood rushed to his head, and the moment of impatience lost the severity of his attack."

The queen mother didn't know that the crown prince was holding Han Youning in his arms. She glanced at Zhao Chengyuan and said angrily, "Like a brat, it's really a hero's sad beauty."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "I don't know, but love is so cute and annoying. Now that the mother is not angry, why don't I marry my son and Zhaoping, so that the crown prince won't worry about it, so I can talk to others."

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup, gently swiped the tea soup with the lid of the cup, thinking in her eyes.

Zhao Chengyuan asked, "The queen mother prefers Danyang to be the princess?"

The Queen Mother said softly, "Danyang is dignified and generous, and smart enough, no one is more suitable to be a princess than her."

Zhao Chengyuan asked, "Then what does the emperor's brother think, can the empress know?"

Displeasure flashed in the Queen Mother's heart.Although the emperor is her own son, she, a mother, can never see through what he thinks in his heart.

She said softly, "He is too busy with state affairs all day long, and the harem is useless, so he can't care about his children and marriage."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "The crown prince is the crown prince. His marriage is related to the state and the country. How could the emperor not want to? The crown prince is twenty-three this year, and Danyang is seventeen. He has already reached the age of marriage. If the emperor is interested in Danyang , I have given them a marriage a long time ago, so there is no need to discuss with the crown prince."

The Queen Mother thought in her eyes.

Zhao Chengyuan looked at her, "The Wang family has already produced a queen mother and a deputy queen. If there is another crown princess, does this country belong to the Zhao family or the Wang family?"

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, suppressed the coldness in her eyes, and said this to the point.

Her son was the most suspicious, but she never thought that his suspicion would be applied to her.

She calmly said, "You mean, the emperor never thought of letting Danyang be the princess? Then who is he interested in?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "I used to prefer Han Qingwan. She has just turned fifteen this year, and the emperor has been delaying her, probably waiting for her to come of age. Unexpectedly, something happened to Marquis Yongping, which dragged Han Qingwan down. Now Zhaoping recognizes her again." After returning to Duke Dingguo's mansion, I'm afraid that Brother Huang prefers Zhaoping."

The Queen Mother said, "You forgot, the emperor doesn't like princes being close to generals the most. Duke Dingguo has too much military power, so the emperor won't be at ease."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Duke Zhen is the chief assistant of the court, and the power is in the court. If the princess's natal family is an ordinary family, how can she resist Wang Shoufu's suppression? I am afraid that the crown prince will be replaced soon."

The Queen Mother caressed Yu Ruyi, her eyes dimmed.
