Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

In the imperial study room.

The Sixth Prince looked at the Emperor in bewilderment.

"Father, may I ask why you have summoned me?"

The emperor said bluntly: "Shui Wan'er is back, what are your plans?"

The Sixth Prince was puzzled.

"Father, I don't know why you ask this."

The Emperor spoke truthfully:

"The fourth brother wants to marry Shui Wan'er. What do you think?"

The Sixth Prince frowned:

"Didn't the Fourth Prince have his eyes on that girl from the Marquis' Mansion? Why is he now asking to marry Wan'er? Father, is he asking for an imperial decree to grant this marriage?"

"Yes, the Queen came to ask for my opinion. However, don't worry, I haven't agreed to it. I want to see what you think."

The Sixth Prince said frankly:

"Father, the fourth brother is not a good match. If Wan'er marries him, her future life will definitely not be easy."

The emperor understood something else.

He looked at the Sixth Prince in astonishment.

"Have you ever thought about marrying Wan'er?"

The Sixth Prince did not hide anything.

"Father, I have never thought about it."

The emperor was obviously a little skeptical of what the Sixth Prince said.

"Are you sure you haven't considered that once my order is issued, there will be no room for regret."

As long as they are not someone that Lao Liu wants to worry about.

As for which of his sons Shui Wan'er would marry, he didn't care.

In his eyes, any one of his sons is worthy of Shui Wan'er.

It is not yet the Shui family’s turn to choose his son.

"Father, I did not lie."

"You've never thought about it?" The emperor was a little unconvinced: "Even five years ago?"

The Sixth Prince looked at the Emperor speechlessly. Five years ago, Shui Wan'er was only twelve or thirteen years old. How could he have such thoughts?

"Father, please don't worry. I haven't thought about it before, and I don't have any thoughts about it now, and I certainly won't have any thoughts about it in the future."

The emperor subconsciously asked:

"Who do you want, then? Don't tell me that until today, you have never thought of marrying a princess."

Lan Kexin’s face flashed through the Sixth Prince’s mind.

Whether he is angry or happy, it is all so vivid and lively to him.

However, he had no intention of confessing the truth to the emperor.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The emperor knew that he was not going to tell him.

The emperor looked displeased:

"Sixth Brother, whether you like it or not, I will issue an order for the girls from all the prefectures to enter the palace for selection."

The Sixth Prince suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the Emperor.

"Father, are you going to expand your harem?"

The emperor glanced at him.

"Is it not okay for the emperor to expand his harem? And you are still opposing it."

"I really don't dare, and I don't have the right to object."

"So, who do you want to marry you? Let father have an idea."

The Sixth Prince was silent.

His father actually used this method to force him.

So what? He just won’t say it.

He was really forced to do so. He could just propose marriage on the first day of the emperor's selection of concubines. What was there to be afraid of?

The queen on the other side was not asleep at this time.

She looked anxiously at Madam Kong who was standing in front of her:

"Tell me, what brings you to see me?"

Nanny Kong is the nanny beside Mrs. Lan.

Although she did not gain Madam Lan's trust as much as Nanny Yang.

However, she also has a certain status in the Marquis' Mansion.

Over the years, she has been staying quietly in the Marquis' Mansion, gathering information for the Queen.

The reason why the Queen arranged Nanny Kong there.

The most important thing is the prophecy from that year.

Regardless of whether the prophecy is true or false.

As long as it is related to that location.

She wanted to know everything clearly.

She had finally climbed to the position of queen.

I only have one son, so I have to give him the position in the future no matter what.

Naturally, she would not let go of the central figure of this prophecy.

Madam Kong said respectfully:

"Empress, I believe that the person with the Phoenix Fate is most likely not the Second Young Lady, but the First Young Lady."

The queen was stunned for a moment, looking at Madam Kong in obvious disbelief.

"You mean that village girl? Is she destined to be a phoenix?"

Madam Kong nodded: "Yes."

The Queen narrowed her eyes:

"Tell me, I want to know why you believe she is the one with the Phoenix destiny?"

“My Lady, those with a Phoenix destiny will be blessed by Heaven, and everything they do will go smoothly.

The most important thing is that Miss Lan has a broad mind, which is incomparable to Miss Two."

The Queen nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"Madam, if it weren't for the entire Marquis' Mansion protecting the Second Young Lady, she probably wouldn't even know how she died..."

Nanny Kong told him what she saw and heard in the Marquis's Mansion, as well as some of her own guesses.

The Queen thought about what Lan Kexin had done for the Emperor over the past period of time and the reputation she had gained outside.

She had ignored all of this before, simply because she had the aura of a country girl.

Because in her subconscious, no matter which dynasty or generation, the queen could not be born as a village girl.

Is it possible that she is going to break these rules?

The queen fell into deep thought.

He waved his hand to signal Madam Kong to leave first.

"Go back and continue to help me keep an eye on it. I want a definite answer."

Nanny Kong responded respectfully and immediately retreated.

But the queen showed no intention of going to bed.

Instead, he kept walking back and forth in the hall.

If that person was Miss Lan.

Given how much his son dislikes Miss Lan.

Will he accept Miss Lan?

Certainly not.

She knows her son best.

His mind was led astray by Miss Lan Er.

I want my son to change his mind.

We have to start with Miss Lan Er.

The queen fell silent, raised her hand and kept pinching the bridge of her nose.

He looked very troubled.

The nanny beside her rubbed the queen's shoulders with concern.

"My Lady, it's late. Let's put other things aside and think of a solution tomorrow."

The Queen sighed:

"Alas, I can't sleep well until the fourth son's marriage is settled."

Mammy smiled and said:

"Your Highness, you are now the mother of a country. What are you afraid of? If you don't like someone, just send her away."

"I naturally know this truth. Isn't it difficult for the fourth brother to get through?"

The nanny glanced at the top of the queen's head.

She knew that the queen had already thought of a solution.

The nanny continued speaking according to the queen's wishes.

"My Lady, if you want to make a man completely disgusted with a woman, to the point where he's so disgusted he won't even look at her, there are plenty of ways to do it. What are you afraid of?..."

"Mammy, tell me, if I really do this, will the Fourth Master blame me in the future?"

"My Lady, if you help him marry Miss Shui into the palace, how could the Fourth Prince blame you? He will be grateful to you in the future."

"That's good. It seems that from now on, I will have to help Miss Lan say some good things in front of the Fourth Prince."

The Queen thought for a moment.

Then she spoke again: "Mammy, please help me pass a letter to the Marquis's Mansion and ask Miss Lan to come to the palace when she is free."
