Everyone turned to look at the doorway. After a series of hurried footsteps, Chu Tianyang, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, strode in.
His face was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.
Seeing everyone present, he quickly bowed, eagerly looked up, and gazed intently at the Emperor, saying, "Father, I have met my true love. I beg you to grant me marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Consort Liu's face darkened.
The Emperor was in a good mood, looking at his happy second son and saying, "Oh! This is good news! Which family's daughter is she?"
This is a question everyone wants to know the answer to.
Chu Tianyang felt a warmth in his heart, and a cheap smile appeared on his face, as if he were completely captivated.
“Father, she is the illegitimate daughter of Physician Wen, and her name is Wen Nuan. She is the kindest woman in the world I have ever met! I love her.”
Having been emperor for so many years, Chu Batian had seen all sorts of situations, but even he froze for a moment.
He began to mentally reconcile the situation of Physician Wen's family.
Although this Imperial Physician Wen holds the official position of head of the Imperial Medical Academy, his family is extremely poor!
Every time we meet, he's wearing old clothes, even though he has new ones, he just won't wear them!
To insist that something is new for three years, old for three years, and then patched up for another three years is simply insane.
The family was very simple, consisting of only one wife and one concubine, each bearing a daughter.
It's hard to say!
Consort Liu could no longer sit still and slammed her hand on the table.
Everyone was startled.
"I disagree!" she roared!
What a load of rubbish, this "Miss Wen" title! It's just a nicer name; she's a penniless wretch!
She doesn't want to!
Chu Tianyang looked at his mother with pain. Was this still the mother who loved him the most?
"Why? You've never even met her, how can you contradict her? You have no idea how wonderful she is!"
"She's so kind; you'll understand how good she is once you get to know her better!"
Consort Liu felt a throbbing in her temples, closed her eyes, and didn't want to speak.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't know much about the Wen family, only that they were very poor.
So I asked, "How did you two meet?"
Chu Tianyang had just felt that he hadn't been specific enough to highlight the goodness of his goddess, and now that someone had offered him a way out, he immediately took the opportunity.
He wouldn't thank her; Shen Jiaojiao was just a female bandit, and he had lost all feelings for her ever since that encounter.
Women should be gentle and kind-hearted.
Just like warmth.
When asked how they met, Chu Tianyang's face lit up with a fascinated smile.
Let's go back to yesterday.
Chu Tianyang was walking alone through a quiet alley when a child suddenly rushed over from the opposite side, grabbed the money pouch from his waist, and ran away.
How can we tolerate this?
He rushed forward, kicked the man to the ground, and snatched the money bag from his hand.
Just then, a woman dressed in white pushed Chu Tianyang aside, helped the child up from the ground, and asked with concern, "Child! How are you? Did this older brother bully you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you."
Chu Tianyang laughed angrily, then retorted angrily, "This kid clearly stole my purse, what right do you have to make decisions for me?"
Seeing the child's evasive gaze, Wen Nuan gently comforted him, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it. You must have your own difficulties, right? I have some money here, take it and use it!"
After saying that, she stuffed the money bag in her hand into his hand without saying another word.
The child glanced at her as if she were an idiot, grabbed the money pouch in his hand, quickly got up, and ran away in a flash.
Nuan stood up, looking at the child who had run away with a loving expression, and thought to herself, "I've helped someone again today, that's wonderful."
Chu Tianyang felt his heart race as he looked at that smile!
Ah! What a kind person!
Warmth left happily after doing a good deed.
Chu Tianyang, as if possessed, secretly followed her and witnessed with his own eyes how Wen Nuan helped the woman who sold herself to bury her father drive away the bully!
They bought a lot of steamed buns and distributed them to the beggars.
I went home after doing good deeds all day.
He secretly followed her home.
Then I learned her identity: Wen Nuan from the Wen family.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot!
Is this person stupid?
Isn't this a typical example of a saint?
Chu Batian coughed and said tactfully, "Tianyang! You only met her yesterday. Why don't you spend more time with her? I'll have your mother host a flower banquet so you can see more of the other girls."
Consort Liu felt a little relieved. Yes, let's look at the others!
Chu Tianyang immediately became unhappy and said seriously to his father, "No! I secretly followed her back yesterday and found that she was not doing well."
"Her sister pushed her as soon as she got to the door, and then all sorts of shouting and cursing came from inside the house!"
At this point, his eyes reddened: "What a wonderful girl! They just abused her and bullied her because of their family status. She's so pitiful!"
"That's why I must marry her as soon as possible and help her escape her misery!"
Shen Jiaojiao silently took a sip of water; there was definitely something fishy going on here.
Consort Liu was furious again. What kind of person is this?!
A penniless wretch!
"No! I disagree!"
Ignoring Consort Liu's rage, Chu Tianling knelt before his father, the Emperor: "Father! Today, as a son, I beg you, I truly love her, please!"
Consort Liu stepped forward, took Chu Tianyang's hand, and tried to pull him up.
"stand up!"
"I won't get up!"
"Get up!"
"sorry!"
…
The atmosphere became awkward again.
Chu Batian looked at the two below with a strange gaze, and finally asked, "Tianling, are you sure you want Wen Nuan to be your queen?"
Chu Tianling nodded hurriedly, his heart filled with unprecedented joy: "Yes! I do!"
"No! You can't! Your Majesty! You can't! Tianling is already engaged to his cousin Liu Piaopiao," Consort Liu said, forcing herself to speak.
Chu Tianling turned to look at Consort Liu, her face full of unfamiliarity, and said sadly, "How could you do this! When did this marriage arrangement come about? How come I didn't know? That Liu Piaopiao is a wretched ghost who can't walk properly and coughs up blood all the time! How could you bear to let me marry her? Are you really my mother?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi's voice lowered slightly: "I didn't tell you about the engagement, thinking you could get to know each other better after Piaopiao arrives. She's coming from Jiangnan and will arrive in the next couple of days, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Tianyang ignored her and said angrily, "If you want to marry someone, you can do it yourself. I'm not marrying anyone! If you insist on pinning this on me, then I'll leave her in a side hall of the mansion, to live a lonely life!"
The once high and mighty imperial concubine now sat helplessly on a stool to the side, her face deathly pale.
A deep sense of powerlessness washed over me.
How did it end up like this?
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably; her heart was filled with bitterness.
The emperor looked at the two people below and remained silent for a long time.
"Father! I beg you!" Chu Tianyang came again, feeling that rescuing the goddess was an urgent matter!
A decision must be made as soon as possible.
"If possible, I would like to get married as soon as possible!" Chu Tianyang's words made the Imperial Concubine so angry that she couldn't even lift her hand.
Chu Batian looked at him, expressionless.
