"You don't even have any connection with my daughter, so where does your admiration come from?!"
In the imperial study, Rong Baichuan pointed at Cai Hong's nose and cursed him.
"Cai Hong, I'm telling you, my daughter is not someone you can covet!"
"Father-in-law, I truly love Xu Qing. Please grant my wish." Cai Hong looked at Rong Baichuan sincerely.
"Why are you calling me? Do you believe that I can kill you with one sword?" Rong Baichuan was so angry that he jumped up on the spot and was about to pull out the emperor's sword.
"Rong Baichuan!"
The emperor shouted softly, and Rong Baichuan sat down angrily, staring at Cai Hong with flaming eyes, as if he was going to strangle him with his eyes in the next second.
Although Cai Hong's moral character is extremely corrupt.
But he knew one thing very well: as long as he did not violate the laws of Dongwu Kingdom, no one could touch him.
He relied on this self-knowledge to commit crimes in Kyoto for many years.
If the case was reported to the emperor, at most he would be scolded and fined a few months' salary.
Therefore, he was not afraid at all, and smiled playfully at Rong Baichuan, "Father-in-law, sooner or later we will be a family, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later..."
"I can't stand it anymore! I don't care whether your whole family died for the country..." Rong Baichuan was angry again and was about to draw his sword.
"That's enough." The emperor held Rong Baichuan down and scolded Cai Hong, "Shut up!"
"I'm not one to force anyone. This matter of marriage still depends on whether you two are in love. Let's discuss it after Xu Qing arrives."
On one side is the emperor's close friend, and on the other side is a family of loyal and brave descendants.
Cai Hong asked to marry Rong Xuqing under the pretext of leaving a successor for the Marquis of Chengyang.
The emperor was in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, Madam Rong has arrived with the eldest and youngest daughters." The young eunuch reported promptly.
"Bring him in quickly." The emperor said hurriedly, and even stood up to greet him.
When the emperor saw Rong Chaoxi, he laughed so hard that his eyes were filled with laughter.
After carrying Chaoxi back to the main seat, he briefly explained Cai Hong's request.
"This is the children's business. I will not interfere. Is Xu Qing willing to marry Cai Hong?"
"Your servant is unwilling." Rong Xuqing answered the emperor's question immediately.
"Since Miss Xuqing doesn't want to marry, Cai Hong, you can go back." The emperor quickly sent him away.
"Your Majesty, Xu Qing simply doesn't understand me. After the marriage is granted, I will definitely make her fall in love with me..."
Cai Hong took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down, and continued to speak earnestly, "I will not marry anyone other than Xu Qing in this lifetime. I beg Your Majesty to leave a bloodline for the Cai family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room's faces darkened.
That jade pendant was the life-saving talisman that Chengyang Hou had asked for Cai Hong before he went on the expedition.
He actually used it like this just to arrange a marriage?
"Cai Hong, are you sure you want to use this jade pendant today?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing." Cai Hong answered without hesitation.
"Your Majesty." Rong Baichuan stood up and said hurriedly, "I am willing to use all my past merits to reject this marriage!"
Fuling's breathing stagnated. He glanced at the emperor, whose face had darkened even further, and felt worried for Rong Baichuan.
Does he know that if His Majesty agrees, all his rewards and positions will be taken back and he will become an ordinary citizen?
And Your Majesty will definitely not allow him to do this. He is creating problems for Your Majesty!
It has always been said that the ministers are willing to share the worries of Your Majesty, but why are they all poking at the emperor's lungs at the critical moment?
It’s really not easy for our Majesty!
"Rong Baichuan! Sit down! Shut up!" the emperor said angrily.
Bang——
The emperor picked up the paperweight and slammed it down, and immediately a large number of people knelt in the hall.
"Cai Hong!" the emperor said in a deep voice, "This is how you use the amulet your father and brother and sister-in-law risked their lives to give you!"
"I will marry you? And leave you as my concubine? You have a lot of beautiful women in your mansion and backyard. Do you really think I will believe your nonsense?"
"If you want a marriage, go back and deal with your guards first! Get lost!"
"Young Marquis Cai, why don't you step back?" Fuling quickly intervened, urging Cai Hong to go back and not touch the tiger's butt again.
"Yes, I'll go back and deal with it right away." Cai Hong quickly responded and retreated.
After everyone left, the emperor looked at Rong Baichuan and said with gritted teeth,
"Rong Baichuan! If you dare to threaten me with resignation again, I will beat you to death!"
"...That depends on whether you agree to it." Rong Baichuan muttered softly.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry..." Rong Chaoxi saw that the emperor seemed to really want to beat her cheap father, so she quickly calmed the emperor down, "Just fly away..."
The little guy stood up and blew air at the emperor's smoking head.
"Hmph!" the emperor snorted, "We are still sensible."
Then he hugged the little guy and kissed him.
Qin Nanjing felt a cold sweat in her heart, thinking that it was right to bring Chaoxi here.
Sooner or later, Rong Baichuan will get himself killed because of his mouth.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking charge of my daughter." She thanked him quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Rong Xuqing also hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Okay, Madam Rong, please take the child back first." The emperor rubbed his eyebrows.
Every day is filled with little things that make me angry.
After Qin Nanjing stood up, she looked at the little guy in the emperor's arms. It was not right to hug him, nor was it right not to hug him.
"Oh... Chaoxi will stay for a while, you guys go back first." said the emperor.
After the two left, the emperor said tiredly, "I think that boy is still harboring evil intentions. It would be better to arrange a marriage for Xu Qing to put an end to other people's thoughts."
"..." Rong Baichuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "It's a feasible idea. I can cancel the engagement after Xu Qing finds someone she likes. But who would be suitable if she doesn't cling to him afterwards?"
"I think my third child is a good fit..."
