When the empress sent someone to invite the emperor to dinner, the old emperor was discussing matters with several court officials.
Seeing that there were still court officials present, the palace maid who delivered the message was the queen's confidant, "Your Majesty, the young prince is accompanying the queen. The queen specially asked me to ask your majesty if you want to have dinner together today."
When the old emperor heard this, he couldn't hide his smile, "Go back and tell the queen that I will be there later."
Several court officials looked at each other. It seemed that the matter of Princess Le'an was not a rumor. Now the princess was in the palace accompanying the queen.
An old minister boldly asked, "Your Majesty, is it Princess Le'an?"
The old emperor smiled and said, "It's not Le'an. Le'an died of illness a few years ago. She is my granddaughter. I have been thinking about what title to give her these past two days."
Several court officials were stunned. Princess Le'an had already
One of them responded the fastest, "Congratulations to your majesty for finding your grandson. This is truly cause for celebration."
Several others quickly agreed.
The old emperor narrowed his cold eyes and looked at the people in front of him, "It happens that you guys are here, help me with the title, how about Jinyang?"
When they heard this, they all knew the weight of the word "Jinyang" and replied with a smile, "I think it is very good."
Among them, there was a minister who had a very good personal relationship with King Han. He really didn't expect that Princess Le'an had died, but there was a royal grandson. Judging from this situation, His Majesty valued this royal grandson very much.
After leaving the palace, he had to hurry to Prince Han's Mansion.
Mei Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel was extremely anxious. How could a grandson of the emperor suddenly appear out of nowhere and be given the title of Jinyang? If this continued, how could it be disastrous?
The news of the emperor's grandson spread to all the officials' residences, big and small, in the capital.
King Han's eyes darkened. Now that Le An was dead, all he needed to do was to give a few words of advice to the Zongzheng Temple so that her status as the emperor's grandson would not be confirmed and she would naturally have no chance of becoming the crown prince. In this way, he could rest assured.
"Go and send a message to my second nephew in Prince Jing's Mansion, and tell him that I invite him to meet at Dongyue Tower tomorrow at noon to discuss important matters."
"yes."
At the same time, Song Qianfan at Prince Jing's Mansion also received the news. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The old emperor wanted to give that grandson the title of Jinyang. It seemed that he really wanted to enthrone the princess as the crown princess.
No, I can't just sit there and wait for death.
By the time the Crown Princess is enthroned, it will be too late.
That night, the old emperor went to the queen's place. Before he entered, he heard laughter. It was obvious that Su Juan was really good at making people laugh, and his mood improved a lot.
He walked quickly into the hall and said loudly, "I heard you guys talking and laughing before I even came in. I thought I was in the wrong place."
Su Juan stood up together with the Queen.
The Queen laughed, "How could I go wrong?"
She patted the back of Su Juan's hand and said, "Juan'er, come and meet your royal grandfather."
Su Juan bowed deeply to the old emperor and said, "Granddaughter greets Grandfather."
This sudden gift startled the emperor. He was a little uncomfortable. He supported Su Juan and laughed dryly, "We are a family, there is no need for such a big gift."
Su Juan blinked and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The old emperor choked: ""
Some time ago they were the king and his subjects, but now they are grandfather and grandson. It's really a huge change.
Before he knew it was Su Juan, he had imagined a tender scene of the grandfather and grandson recognizing each other and the old man shedding tears. But after knowing it was Su Juan, all he could think about was her calling him an old thing, and he couldn't feel any tenderness at all.
The three of them sat down to eat. The queen asked Su Juan something from time to time. The emperor next to her was like a vase, unable to utter a word for a long time.
The queen couldn't help it, so she kicked the emperor, coughed lightly, and signaled him to speak with her eyes.
The granddaughter was right in front of him, but he didn't even say a word and had a stern face. Did he think this was the court? Who was he trying to scare?
The emperor then looked at Su Juan and thought for a long time, not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only say, "Is the meal to your liking?"
Su Juan responded obediently, "It suits my taste."
The emperor said, "Then eat more."
Su Juan: "Yeah."
Queen: ""
The nanny standing by wanted to laugh when she saw this scene.
At this time, the old emperor thought of something to say, "You are not young anymore, you should think about marriage. If you like someone, please tell me."
Su Juan was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The Queen was obviously a little displeased. She asked you to speak so that you and your grandson could get closer together, not to force a marriage.
The old emperor continued, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Yu Zhong from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. In fact, Liu Xuanzhen seems to be a good person too."
Su Juan laughed dryly and said, "Yeah, it's good."
But I couldn't help thinking, "Who on earth is talking nonsense? How far has this rumor spread?"
[As the king of a country, he actually followed others in talking nonsense. 】
The old emperor immediately frowned and asked, "What rumor? Aren't you the one who keeps bragging about Yu Zhong all day long?"
There are witnesses throughout the court, would I lie?
[The previous marriage proposal was outrageous enough, and now you want to arrange a marriage for me? 】
The old emperor: What a random matchmaking! Am I not doing this for your own good?
The grandfather and grandson stared at each other, neither giving in.
Seeing the situation, the queen had to say something else, "Your Majesty, what was the title you mentioned last night?"
The old emperor blew his beard and glared, and said unhappily, "Jinyang, I will summon Zongzheng Temple tomorrow and then issue an edict."
As he said this, he looked at Su Juan with a stern face, "Wait for the imperial edict, and then you will move into the palace. How can a girl like you follow Xie Xun and Song Er to visit brothels all day long?"
Su Juan smiled and said, "I feel more comfortable living in the Duke's Mansion, so I won't move."
[What kind of flower house is this? It's Baihualou. Baihualou is fine! It's just a place to listen to some songs, not a place for indecent things. It also accepts female guests, okay! ]
[Look at how ignorant you are, and you are the king of a country. ]
The old emperor immediately became angry, "How dare you disobey my orders?"
What’s the point of living in a shabby and shabby place like the Duke’s Mansion? Can it be better than the palace?
Su Juan: "Your Majesty, I dare not disobey your words."
The old emperor said sternly: "Then come and live in the palace."
Su Juan: "No."
Both of them were stubborn, and the queen frowned as she heard them, "What are you arguing about?"
The queen spoke, and the palace suddenly became quiet.
The nanny saw it clearly from the side. They were a little reserved just now, but now they were arguing like a family.
The Queen said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Juan'er is not young anymore. If you want to live outside, just give her another mansion."
The old emperor immediately changed his tone, "The queen is right. At this age, it is time for you to start a residence outside."
Su Juan smiled and said, "Grandson thanks Grandfather for his gift."
[Tsk, your expression changes so quickly.]
The old emperor glanced at her and sneered in his heart, How could I change my face if I were you?
Other people’s grandparents enjoy family happiness.
At my age, if a granddaughter shows up, I'm afraid she's here to collect debts.
What a bullshit of warmth and tenderness!
