Chapter 174 The Imperial Decree Granting Marriage

After the father and son finished their meal, Jiang Baitong asked someone to come in and clear away the dishes, leaving only the food box and plates that Gu Beichen brought in.

Jiang Baitong felt a little sad, wondering if he would live to see the next time Prince Qin brought food made by Old Nanny Mu to Emperor Tianchen.

Old Nanny Mu is the Empress's wet nurse. She is older than any of them, but she always remembers the Empress's preferences. When the Empress was still alive, she would always cook all kinds of delicious food for her.

Old Nanny Mu is skillful, and the food she cooks is delicious and as good as the food made by the chef in the imperial kitchen. Not only the emperor, but even the servants who follow the empress can often enjoy it.

It is said that Grandma Mu's family used to run a restaurant. She learned cooking skills from her family since she was a child. Later, something happened at home. When the Mu family passed by, they felt sorry for her and took her back to the Mu family.

Later, when Mu Xueqing was born, the Mu family hired many wet nurses. Strangely enough, she would cry no matter who held her, except Old Nanny Mu.

Later, Mu Xueqing married Emperor Tianchen as his queen, and Old Nanny Mu followed her into the palace.

After Mu Xueqing died, Old Nanny Mu and Jiang Baitong stayed with Gu Beichen. Later, when Gu Beichen left the palace and set up his own residence, Jiang Baitong did not follow him to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, but Old Nanny Mu did.

Her love for Gu Beichen is no less than her love for Mu Xueqing. It can be said that Gu Beichen was also brought up by her, and the relationship between the two is naturally incomparable to that of others.

Whenever Gu Beichen had something to ask of the emperor, he would ask Old Nanny Mu to prepare a meal and bring it to the emperor, and he would always get what he wanted.

Naturally, there will be things that don't go as planned, otherwise there wouldn't be so many differences between father and son.

But Old Madam Ke Mu is too old. How many times can she still cook for them?

Jiang Baitong sighed secretly and urged the palace servants to take their things and leave quickly. He also followed them out of the hall, leaving the father and son alone to talk.

The father and son set up the chessboard and sat on either side.

Emperor Tianchen held the white piece in his hand and dropped one. "Tell me, what's going on this time?"

Gu Beichen picked up a black piece from the chess bowl with his slender knuckles, "The poison that your son just mentioned is indeed real."

Emperor Tianchen paused as he gripped the chess piece, then looked up at Gu Beichen, "What kind of poison is this?"

"Worry-free."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianchen's breathing stagnated slightly, "You know?"

Gu Beichen frowned. What did his father mean?

"Spies have infiltrated the homes of officials in the imperial court. We have already made some progress, but I need your help."

Emperor Tianchen's expression became serious. "First, tell me, where did you hear about Wuyou?"

"Father will know this sooner or later, but in order to successfully catch the spy, I must keep it secret for the time being."

"you!"

There is nothing that even your biological father cannot tell you, and you are even on guard against me!

"This time, I came to the palace only to ask for an imperial decree. Just agree to it."

Emperor Tianchen's eyes lit up. Has this kid finally gotten it?

"It's not impossible for me to grant you a marriage with the third girl from the Xiangfu, but the Marquis' Mansion..."

Gu Beichen frowned, "When did I ask for the Emperor's decree to grant me marriage?"

Emperor Tianchen's face froze. "No? If you're not asking me to grant you a marriage, then what imperial decree are you asking me for?"

The black piece in Gu Beichen's hand fell, "Father, you lose."

Emperor Tianchen looked down and saw that it was indeed true. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "What are you talking about chess pieces? Explain to me first, if this is not an imperial decree granting marriage, what is it?

"If you weren't attracted to the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why did you force Prime Minister Shen to cancel the engagement?

"Do you know that if you do this, everyone in the world will poke holes in your spine and accuse you of taking advantage of your status as a prince to forcibly seize my wife..."

Gu Beichen sneered, "Isn't it you, the Emperor, who bestowed upon me the wife for my afterlife marriage? I'm not dead yet, yet I already have a wife for my afterlife marriage. Are you still afraid of being criticized?"

"Who can you blame for this? If you hadn't sent yourself a coffin, making everyone in the world believe that you were really dead, then someone would have come forward to send you a ghost wife."

"That also requires your approval, Father. Otherwise, who would be so foolish as to send a daughter out to be buried with your son?"

Emperor Tianchen was so angry that he lost his temper. "Then tell me, what do you want?"
