Chu Yan hadn't seen such a free and easy girl for a long time. He didn't mind at all and laughed, "I heard from Wang Zhuo that you won the title of Goddess of Flowers this year?"
"Your Majesty, just don't be careful." Su Bei pursed his lips.
"What if I pay attention?" Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Su Bei chuckled, "Be careful, or you won't get it."
Chu Yan laughed again, then looked at Chu Younan, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chu Younan straightened his expression and said, "Father, it's about the Zhang family."
The hall fell silent, and Chu Yan's smile gradually faded. "Go ahead."
"Zhang Shengma has a concubine's son named Zhang Ganzhu. In the Baosheng Medical Clinic incident, he provided very important clues to his son, and he has been used by Zhang Shengma to test poison since he was a child. I would like to ask my father to pardon him." Chu Younan said seriously.
Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Chu Younan turned his head to look at Su Bei, then stood up and knelt down, "I would like to ask the emperor to grant me and Abei a marriage."
Su Bei was stunned for a moment, then stood up and knelt beside Chu Younan.
The aroma of incense is wafting.
Chu Yan did not speak. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Get up! I won't allow this!"
Su Bei didn't expect that he would refuse so straightforwardly, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
But Chu Younan slightly raised the corner of his lips.
Su Bei quietly nudged him with his elbow and rolled his eyes at him.
Chu Younan quickly suppressed his smile and kowtowed, "This son and Abei are in love with each other, and I definitely don't want to marry anyone else. I ask for your permission, father!"
Thinking of Brother Nannan marrying someone else and himself serving a princess again, Su Bei felt jealous and quickly bowed his head, "If Your Majesty can agree to our marriage, A Bei is willing to make snacks for Your Majesty every day. Please grant your approval!"
Chu Yan was originally serious, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard her say that, "So if I don't allow you, you won't make snacks for me?"
"Of course..." Su Bei looked aggrieved, "Abei is stupid. If His Majesty doesn't allow it, the prince will marry someone else as his princess. I will be busy with house fights all day long, so how can I have time to make snacks..."
Chu Yan's face was tense, but there was no anger in his tone. "If Prince Su marries a wife, you should fulfill your responsibilities as a concubine. How can you think about fighting in the house?"
It was obvious that he was not really angry. Su Bei blinked and pretended to be innocent, "Your Majesty, I don't want to fight Ah Bei, but I'm afraid that Prince Su will favor her alone and the princess won't tolerate a commoner girl. I can't just sit there and wait to be sent away. I have to do something."
Exclusive love...
Chu Younan can really do this.
Chu Yan's mood, which had been ruined by the human bone pill, was much better. He stood up from behind the dragon table, paced a few circles on the ground, and then said, "It's not impossible to grant a marriage. But Ah Bei's status is low, and it will be difficult to convince the public if she becomes the princess, so I want you to do three things. Once you succeed, I will grant the marriage!"
Su Bei was a little nervous, "What three things are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
"First: Prime Minister Jiang's eldest daughter Ruwei is seriously ill. I heard that she is in love with Prince Su and is suffering from lovesickness. I want you to find a way to cure her!"
"Second: Mu Hui is already seventeen and still unmarried. I want you to help her find a good man!"
"The third one," Chu Yan glanced at the two of them, sat down behind the dragon case, took a memorial and threw it in front of them, "You two take a look at this."
The first one was very difficult for Su Bei. How could he cure a person who was pretending to be sick? The difficulty level was already five stars.
The second one is not much better. Mu Hui has not married for more than ten years. She doesn't like the top three scholars, but she likes an ordinary person. But the ordinary person can still get married. Is she trying to break up people's marriages?
Article 3…
Su Bei gritted his teeth and leaned over, glanced at the memorial in Chu Younan's hand, and then his heart sank.
"There are often ghost soldiers passing through Fengyuan Prefecture at night, causing people to disappear frequently and the people to live in fear..."
Oh my god! It's even related to the supernatural. Is she responsible for this?
Chu Younan was also in a dilemma. "Father, I'm afraid this matter is beyond human power. Is it a bit unreasonable to ask Ah Bei to solve this matter?"
Chu Yan closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, stroking a white jade Pixiu on the table with his fingers. After a long while, he exhaled and said slowly: "If this is accomplished, I will grant Ah Bei the title of the first-rank princess..."
He didn't say anything else, and there was no need to say anything more. Chu Younan understood instantly.
Although Mu Hui is a princess, she is only of the second rank. If Abei can be conferred the title of a first rank county princess, then it will not be a problem for her to become the Princess of Su.
But……
He still looked embarrassed, and kowtowed heavily, saying: "Father! This matter is too dangerous. If you are unwilling to grant the marriage, I ask you to allow me to take her as my wife!"
Su Bei also roughly understood that Chu Younan probably wanted to take her as his consort and not marry a legal wife, so she would be treated almost the same as a princess.
But she secretly glanced at Chu Yan and saw that his Adam's apple moved heavily and his eyebrows were slightly raised, so she knew that Chu Yan must be a little annoyed.
She kowtowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty! I am only a weak woman, but I am willing to risk my life for His Royal Highness Prince Su, but..."
She raised her head and looked at Chu Yan pitifully, "But you can't really let me die, right? If I really die, the title of a first-rank or second-rank princess will be useless even if it's written on a monument, right? Otherwise, why don't you send a ghost exorcist to follow me?"
Only Su Bei could make Chu Yan laugh at such a serious moment. He smiled softly, suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Su Bei for a moment, then turned to Chu Younan and nodded, "I see you, you finally have a clear mind!"
Chu Younan was still worried about Su Bei and couldn't smile at all. He could only nod and said, "Thank you for the compliment, father. It's just..."
"Alright!" Chu Yan said solemnly, "Let Gu Rui go with us! I will send four more secret guards. If it works, the title and marriage will be granted at the same time!"
After saying that, he nodded repeatedly to Su Bei, "Abei! I'm optimistic about you!"
Su Bei rolled his eyes, and on the surface he was thanking him, but in his heart he was muttering: Who is this Gu Rui? Can he turn beans into soldiers? Can he exorcise ghosts? Is he very skilled in Taoism?
Chu Younan was in a dilemma, but he was a little helpless. Gu Rui? His father actually sent him...
“Father!” Chu Younan kowtowed again, “Your Majesty, I ask for your permission to accompany you!”
Chu Yan shook his head, "Prince Su! Don't act on impulse! Ah Bei must earn her fame on her own, so that when she enters the palace as a princess in the future, she can win the support of the people!"
Su Bei was speechless: Mo Qinglian, Mo Qingying, and Xue Jinrong didn't need to do anything to become princesses, why was it so difficult for her? Why was the world so unfriendly to women of the lower class like her...
Chu Younan couldn't solve this problem, but he had other ideas in his mind.
He couldn't go with Su Bei in person, so he decided to let Ling Xiao go with him. After all, Ling Xiao's martial arts were better than Yun Rou and Yun Xi, and with Ling Xiao around, Gu Rui shouldn't act rashly.
