Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:
To marry a blue-robed scholar;
To live in a sunny little courtyard;
If she could also open a...
Chapter 89 All very unexpected
The next day, Li Jing went to the palace and reported his trip to Cangzhou to the emperor.
Although he had just returned to Beijing, he had just taken over the Cangzhou Camp.
But the power he had in mind could not have been something he had not studied before, and it was impossible for him not to have his own people.
So when I went there, I didn't need to go through any familiarization process at all and I was able to take over in no time.
What we have now produced is not perfunctory. It not only affirms but also points out the problems in various aspects, as well as the ways to improve these problems.
The emperor looked at this with mixed feelings: He is so fast!
"The important thing is, it seems like a normal loss of food and weapons, but there is a suspicion that the guards stole and sold them privately, and it has been a long time. Although the quantity is not damaged, it will become the biggest omission in the long run. I have left people behind to check and rectify it first. I will check again when I come back. Father, because of this, I am worried that the Western Suburbs Camp will also have the above problems. How about... I will take the time to go there again?"
The emperor lowered his eyelids and read what he wrote, hiding his anger...
Isn't that enough? Are you asking for more?
This bastard!
"Father, please consider what I said. I have a private matter that I want to tell you..."
The emperor immediately breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes: "Private matter?"
"Yeah, it's a personal matter. You come to me for a personal matter!"
The emperor was a little surprised, and looked at Li Jing with his eyes bright and sharp.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month..." Li Jing narrated what happened in a straightforward manner without any personal emotion: "Afterwards, someone checked. This girl is..." He then briefly described Mo's family background.
Finally, he sighed again: "A fifteen-year-old girl, because of my son's inappropriate rescue, not only is her marriage blocked, but there are also some bad rumors... In this case, why don't you marry her, son?"
"What did you say? Who are you going to marry?" The emperor didn't understand for a moment, "Are you talking about... that silly girl who fell... the second daughter of a scholar?"
"Yes." Li Jing looked at the emperor calmly.
"Get out!" the emperor said.
"Father..." Li Jing's face was a little depressed: "My son means... this girl, her family has no wealth or power, and she is also quite stupid. If my son has a princess like this, I think many people will feel more at ease!"
“Shut up!”
The emperor was furious, pointing at Li Jing's nose and cursing, "Who is preventing you from finding a good one? When you came back, I told you that you can choose any famous lady! There is also a pile of names in the Queen's Palace..."
"The worst is a hundred times better than what you said! What do you want to do by making such a scene? Huh? To ruin yourself and smear my reputation?! To make your mother blame me for neglecting her son?!"
Li Jing was also somewhat helpless: "I dare not."
"Don't dare? I think you are very brave!" The emperor slammed the table so hard that the teacups jumped up, and he almost blurted out: You even know to ask me for military power!
Even the prince dared not open his mouth! You are not satisfied yet!
"Princess, she is a top-ranking imperial lady of the imperial court. How dare you say that to a commoner girl?" The emperor found that a few drops of saliva were flying out of his mouth and felt a little embarrassed.
"Father, if you really don't want to agree, it's fine. I will take her into the palace. But father, please don't urge your son to get married anymore, and let the Queen Mother and the Empress put it off. I don't want to get married."
The emperor wanted to hit him: "This is really inexplicable! Don't say you are a prince, even if you are a peddler, you still need a wife!"
"It's not that I don't want to marry...I just don't want to marry at the moment!" Li Jing explained weakly.
The emperor looked at him and suddenly had an idea: "Does she look like a fairy?" What if she looks like Concubine Dong...
The deceased Concubine Dong flashed in his mind, and even after so many years, it still made him feel heartbroken.
If he met a woman like this...
Li Jing suddenly burst into laughter.
It was a bright smile, not the cold and sarcastic one he usually had.
This bastard!
"What kind of beauty is that? My son just... doesn't want to waste too much energy on this. He just wants to find someone with a simple family background and a simple temperament. She dare not disobey my son's words."
"What a joke! Who dares to do that? Did Zhou disobey you in the past? Have those people in your house disobeyed you now? This is the daughter-in-law of the royal family! Stop talking nonsense! You must get married! And you must find someone of equal status!"
Li Jing stopped talking.
"Why did I hear that the Grand Princess intends to give her granddaughter to you?"
"This... where did you hear this?" Li Jing looked at the emperor in surprise.
The emperor stroked his beard and said nothing, feeling somewhat proud.
Do you really think I don’t know anything?
Li Jing smiled again: "Father, why don't you ask the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince if they are willing?"
The eldest princess's son had soldiers and mines in Shaanxi, but it wasn't given for nothing. But when he stretched his hand to the north, he got into trouble, and he still helped to deal with it! If they really got married, the relationship would be unbreakable!
The emperor was even more angry: "Asshole! The queen is so caring to you, and the prince is so kind and close to you, and you actually think about them like this? Do you have a heart?"
"Father, my son is the legitimate son of your original wife. He is born noble! Isn't it natural for them to treat my son well?" Li Jing was calm and composed.
"You! How can you say anything, you bastard..." The emperor was so helpless that his fingers pointing at him trembled.
Suddenly I felt: This bastard, it would be better to marry someone who can't even lift it up.
Don't make any more trouble. After that incident, it was like peeling off a layer of skin. I am old now, and I can't stand it anymore...
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!" the eunuch at the door announced.
"Come in!"
It was unknown whether the queen heard the conversation between the father and son or not, she came in with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty." After paying respect according to the rules, she smiled and said, "Did I interrupt your conversation with your father and son?"
Li Jing stood up and saluted.
The emperor snorted coldly: "It's better not to say anything! He just makes me angry when he opens his mouth!" This tone made the queen's hand tighten in her sleeve...
"Then you might as well tell me, and I will speak to him for you..." The queen was natural and kind.
The emperor stared at Li Jing, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he pointed at the eunuch Liu next to him and said, "Speak!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Eunuch Liu smiled bitterly with an embarrassed look on his face. "Your Majesty, Your Highness!" He bowed first, then said carefully: "When Your Highness was talking to the Emperor just now, I only heard a few words. Maybe there are some mistakes. Your Highness, just correct them, don't blame me!"
So he told the story again. Of course, he knew what he shouldn't say.
The Queen looked surprised when she heard this, and she was indeed surprised in her heart. She turned to Li Jing and asked, "Are you serious, Qilang?"
Li Jing just smiled and didn't answer.
The Queen looked at the Emperor again, as if she had just confirmed the matter. After thinking for a while, she said, "It happened suddenly. It was her good fortune that Qi Lang saved her life. Only her family came to thank you. Why should you bear any consequences? If you are willing, you can take her into your house.
When she has children, she will be given the title of Madam. This will be a great fortune for this girl and her family."
The emperor nodded: "Did you hear that? This is the truth!"
The queen continued with a smile, "As for the position of princess, the emperor's opinion is my opinion. The marriage of princes and princesses is also my responsibility. Your Majesty, this girl is indeed not suitable."
The emperor nodded again to show his agreement.
"Father, I am not that interested in matters between men and women. It is exhausting to get along with Zhou. I can never figure out what she is thinking. It is boring. Recently, my son has been surrounded by a mess. It seems that everyone is after the position of the princess..."
The Queen's expression did not change as she listened silently.
"It's very troublesome to reject any one of them..."
The emperor calmed down a lot and said indifferently, "The choice is made. I will grant the marriage! What trouble will you have? Who dares to blame me?"
"Father, the first marriage is decided by my parents, and the second marriage is decided by myself. I don't want another couple to be unhappy with each other."
The Queen shook her head in disagreement: "Think about it, Zhou Li was the most outstanding noble lady in the capital! Her family background, character, appearance, and talent were all good. She was virtuous, filial, not jealous, and had a good reputation! Your Majesty, if they don't get along well, it must be Qilang's fault." She pointed at Li Jing angrily.
The emperor liked to hear this very much. "I have also seen that girl. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also gentle in nature. Do you think I don't know your cowardly temper? It's your fault! Besides, death is the greatest thing, so don't mention it anymore!"
Li Jing listened, and although he didn't object, it was obvious that he didn't listen at all.
The Queen looked at the Emperor, then at Li Jing...
"Your Majesty, how about this..."
