Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Mu Jiasong didn't expect that he couldn't eat the sweet potatoes for free, he still had to work. Alas... a group of bad boys who didn't know how to feel sorry for the old man. They had to write a memorial from far away to ask for instructions for such a small matter. Did they want to remind him that they were working hard in the countryside?

No, he wasn't the only one who could eat the sweet potatoes. He remembered that he got two baskets from the emperor. The imperial chef in the palace was pretty good and he was sure that he could make some new things. He went to the palace to have some sweet potatoes.

After making up his mind, Mu Jiasong immediately changed into official uniform and went to the palace to meet the emperor.

It was not known whether the uncle and nephew had a telepathic connection, but not long after Mu Jiasong arrived at the imperial study, Eunuch Fu brought in a plate of snacks. These were fresh delicacies that the imperial chefs had just prepared.

When Mu Jiasong saw the yellow and delicate snacks, his eyes lit up: "Is this a new food made from sweet potatoes?!"

The emperor looked at Mu Jiasong meaningfully, suspecting that he had deliberately come to the palace just for this bite of food.

Fortunately, he does not care about food, otherwise he would be heartbroken. However, he cannot be allowed to pick up the few sweet potatoes that he has like this. Although he does not care about food, it does not mean that he does not like it. Sweet potatoes are quite to his taste.

"Uncle cousin, this is all I have."

Mu Jiasong immediately asked back: "Don't you have two baskets?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth, but the words he said were like water spilled, and he was exposed.

The emperor laughed, thinking that this dishonest man was indeed coveting his sweet potatoes.

"Such a rare item, I will naturally present it to my mother."

Mu Jiasong immediately flattered: "Your Majesty's filial piety makes me ashamed. After I return, I will definitely be filial to my parents."

Naturally, the emperor would not bother with him and invited him to come and taste the sweet potatoes that the imperial chef had just prepared.

It tastes good, but it doesn't have the flavor of sweet potatoes. Mu Jiasong still likes the feeling of having a full mouthful of sweet potatoes. His favorite thing is to roast sweet potatoes. Even a novice in cooking like him can make it, and the taste is amazing.

"The Left Prime Minister has been much more well behaved recently. Has my cousin found out anything unusual about him?"

"It's true that the Left Prime Minister has been quiet recently. Perhaps he is waiting for an opportunity to act. But there is a lot of commotion in his backyard. Even a humble official like me who only cares about farming has heard about it. You can imagine how noisy it is."

What I mean is, if even he knows about it, how could you, the emperor, not know about it? If you want to hear gossip, just say it. There are no outsiders here.

"Well," the emperor still maintained a serious look, not at all embarrassed by having his thoughts exposed, "Lively?"

"Ever since the Emperor announced that the Empress must be chosen by the Princess, the daughters of various wealthy families stopped thinking about it, and the wives of various lords began to look for good husbands for their daughters of the right age. Several of your cousins ​​have become popular.

Among them, the Weiwang Mansion is the most popular. ”

The emperor thought of the five cousins ​​of Prince Wei, three of whom were legitimate. However, Prince Wei's son Yan Zheng was not the son of the current princess, but the only child of the first princess of Prince Wei. He was also the eldest legitimate son of Prince Wei, so he was naturally made the prince.

For the throne, his brothers went crazy and killed each other. The Prince Wei's Mansion had a kind of meritorious service of following the dragon, and Prince Wei was highly trusted by him, so the struggle for the position of Prince Wei's crown prince can be imagined.

Especially Yan Zheng, whose biological mother is not around, and his father has more than one son. His father has a shallow relationship with this son. Yan Zheng is just a prince in the mansion.

To be honest, the emperor was not very familiar with this cousin. There was a six-year age difference between them and they had never been able to play together before. But for the sake of Yan Zheng's late mother, if he was not a hopeless person, the emperor would not let his position as the crown prince fall to someone else.

"At present, only Yan Zheng in the Wei Palace is over 15 years old. The others are still children. They are still young. How can they be related? Compared with the Wei Palace, the cousins ​​of the Wu Palace and the Xiu Palace are more suitable in age, right?"

Mu Jiasong took another bite of the dessert, and after swallowing it, he said, "It is precisely because he is young that he is being coveted by others. The current Princess Wei will not allow her stepson to marry other dignitaries, and she will reject all dignitaries who want to marry.

However, it is no exaggeration to describe the appearance of Prince Wei as being as beautiful as an immortal. At such a young age, the daughters of various families are vying for him. Even though Princess Wei refuses to marry anyone else, there are still many people who want to marry Prince Wei.

Look, Zuo Rui, the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, is one of them. In order to compete for the Prince of Wei, she fights with other daughters. Whenever the Prince of Wei goes out of the house, she always pretends to meet him by chance. Yesterday, she not only met the Prince of Wei, but also met the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, the rival of Prime Minister Zuo.

The two people ridiculed each other in the street. The daughter of the Minister of Revenue was no match for Miss Zuo in eloquence, so she asked her servants to take action, and then the two sides started fighting in the street.

The daughter of the Minister of Revenue was accidentally injured in a fight and had a cut on her face. Although it was not serious, the Minister's wife took the opportunity to blackmail the Prince of Wei and asked him to be responsible for her daughter.

Even though Princess Wei was reluctant, the wife of the Minister of Revenue was famous in the capital for her sharp tongue and thick face, so she wanted to grit her teeth and agree, but unexpectedly the Prince of Wei jumped out to object.

Make it clear directly that no one except you, not even King Wei, can decide his marriage. If anyone agrees to his marriage, he will die together with his younger brothers.

King Wei was so angry that he beat the prince so hard that he couldn't get out of bed, but he also said that he would have to agree to the prince's marriage himself.

That’s why the matter was suppressed.”

The emperor could not help laughing. He did not expect that his cousin could actually bring disaster to his lover. However, he could seize the opportunity to take control of his own marriage. It seemed that his cousin Yan Zheng was not a stupid person. He could have the chance to cultivate brotherhood with him.

"What else happened in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Since the Prince Wei's Palace doesn't work, we naturally have to consider other palaces. The young lady of the Zuo family has set her sights on other royal family members. This time, she chose the fifth son of the Prince Xiu's Palace.

The prince of the Prince of Xiu's Mansion has been married for several years, so the daughter of the Zuo Mansion naturally does not want to be a concubine. The fifth son, who is his half-brother and is also 16 years old, naturally became her target.

Taking advantage of the birthday banquet of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Prince Xu's Mansion, Miss Zuo successfully got acquainted with the Fifth Young Master. On the day when the two families got engaged, it was rumored that the Fifth Young Master liked Long Yang, so the marriage naturally fell through.

Miss Zuo then chose the third son of the Wu Wang Mansion. The Wu Wang Mansion had not decided on the position of the crown prince, but the Wu Wang Mansion was a family of military generals, and in addition to considering the legitimate son, they would also consider strength.

Although the third son is a legitimate son, he has poor physical condition and cannot practice martial arts. Miss Zuo does not want to marry a son of a concubine, so she can only consider marrying the legitimate son and let Prime Minister Zuo help support the third son to become the crown prince.

The Left Prime Minister's Mansion had schemed so many things, but it couldn't prevent the schemes of its own family. A concubine's daughter in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion schemed to make Miss Zuo Rui lose her virginity to Mrs. Zuo's nephew, who was just a scholar.

So... isn't there a commotion in the backyard of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The emperor curled his lips. If he hadn't wanted to maintain his image, he would have burst into laughter. It turned out that his cousin was the most humorous.

When Fu Tuan reported these things to him, he just listened.
