124 Granting Marriage to Xu Huaili
Prince Qing swallowed, pinched his sleeves with trembling hands and wiped the sweat from his head.
Otherwise, why would I suddenly think of him?
Prince Qing and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment.
His Majesty did not speak, and they did not dare to ask more questions.
Zhang Quanfu brought tea to the two of them with a smile.
Prince Qing took it with great trepidation and took a sip to ease his nervousness.
Soon, the door of Yanhua Palace opened again, and Duke Xu Huasong and Xu Huaili bowed and greeted.
When Xu Huaili saw Prince Qing, his heart skipped a beat. This was not going well.
But the look of confusion on Prince Qing and his wife's faces became even more intense, wondering why they were summoned at all?
Pei Yuning calmly asked them to sit down without any courtesy.
Xu Huaili's face was complicated and heavy. He was concerned about the matter between His Majesty and her, which was also the matter of today's summons.
As soon as he met her, His Majesty summoned his grandfather and him.
He had to think about it.
"How has Prince Qing been lately?" When everyone had gathered, Pei Yuning side-glanced at Prince Qing and asked him in a calm voice.
Prince Qing immediately stood up, bowed his body and answered carefully, "Your Majesty, thanks to your Majesty's blessing, I feel that everything is fine."
Pei Yuning turned the beads on his wrist, his face calm, "Really?"
"I heard that you gave Jiayi another sister. Congratulations."
Prince Qing's face changed drastically, he knelt down suddenly, and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty..."
Upon seeing this, Princess Qing knelt down hastily with an unpleasant expression on her face. She knew that this old guy was the one causing trouble again!
I can’t control my lower body! The noise from the concubines in that room gave her a headache! !
What's more, that woman was carried out from a brothel, which was a complete disgrace to the royal dignity!
"Your Majesty, I am terrified! I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
Xu Huasong pretended he heard nothing and calmly took a sip of the tea.
After all, this is someone else's family affair. What right do I have to say anything?
"Prince Qing, why should you be so anxious? It is human nature to have more children. However, I do not want others to say anything that would damage the reputation of the royal family. Do you understand?"
Prince Qing understood the meaning of His Majesty's words and immediately said, "I understand."
After beating Prince Qing, Pei Yuning's expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, "If that's the case, there's no need to be so reserved. Get up."
Prince Qing and his wife thanked him again, and they felt relieved after sitting down again.
"I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you. It's a happy event." Pei Yuning said in a clear voice.
happy event?
Prince Qing was stunned. When did His Majesty ever think of bringing a happy event to his house? ?
Princess Qing frowned. What on earth was His Majesty trying to do?
Call the people from Duke Xu's mansion to discuss the wedding with them?
She thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out. It couldn't be that he wanted a marriage to be arranged, right?
Princess Qing's eyes suddenly became cold. Grant a marriage? ?
Realizing this, he looked in Xu Huaili's direction calmly.
But she found that Xu Huaili was also looking into her eyes.
At that moment, Princess Qing suddenly felt a chill in her heart...
If so...
Even Xu Huasong was puzzled now. "I wonder what happy event Your Majesty is talking about?"
Xu Huaili had a blank expression on his face, but his hands were secretly clenching slowly, with veins bulging.
"This happy event is actually related to the favor that General Zhenbei asked me for that day." Pei Yuning explained to Xu Huasong with great interest.
On that day, although Xu Huaili did not ask for any reward in the court, he privately asked His Majesty for the grace of granting him a marriage.
"Do you still remember General Zhenbei?" Pei Yuning asked Xu Huaili casually.
Xu Huaili didn't reply for a long while.
Xu Huasong frowned and reminded quietly, "Huai Li?"
Xu Huaili came back to his senses, slowly stood up and said, "I remember... I asked Your Majesty for a marriage grant."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Huasong's relaxed expression instantly became solemn.
Arranged marriage? Why have I never heard him mention which girl he likes?
Could it be the third daughter of the Xiao family who was chosen for him before? ?
"Just remember it. I will fulfill my promise to you today."
"Prince Qing..." Pei Yuning pointed at Prince Qing who had been offline all the time.
"I am here."
Pei Yuning asked him, "What do you think of...General Xu as your son-in-law?"
Prince Qing was stunned, "Huh?"
Xu, Xu Huaili? ? Be him, his son-in-law? ? ! ! !
Which daughter?
He thought so in his heart, but blurted it out inadvertently.
"You!——" Xu Huasong flew into a rage on the spot. He actually humiliated his grandson like this!
Prince Qing has only one legitimate daughter, and the rest are illegitimate daughters. Could it be that he, the legitimate descendant of the Duke Xu's mansion, has to marry a illegitimate girl? ?
Princess Qing glared at him and said apologetically, "Duke Xu, please don't think too much. My prince didn't mean it."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't get excited, your health is important." Prince Qing also came to his senses and said with great guilt.
Isn't he surprised too?
Besides, he has so many daughters in his house, so it’s normal to ask.
Your Majesty said that Xu Huaili asked for the grace of marriage, it is possible that he has set his eyes on one of his concubines!
Xu Huasong was extremely angry, but Xu Huaili was extremely calm about it.
His mind kept recalling what he had said to Xiao Tingyun.
He knew that today he absolutely could not tell anyone that he wanted to marry the third young lady of the Xiao family.
Pei Yuning spoke up, "Okay, Prince Qing, what do you think?"
What interest could Prince Qing have? Xu Huaili is young and promising, and has a great reputation in the capital.
It was His Majesty who spoke again, what could he refuse?
"I think... General Xu is young and promising, and he is also a young talent. I just don't know what General Xu thinks?"
Princess Qing hated Prince Qing so much, what a useless guy!
He couldn't even fight for his daughter's marriage.
She only has Jiayi as her daughter. She has loved her like her treasure for so many years. How could she bear to let her be married off like this?
"Your Majesty!" Princess Qing spoke hastily, "Jiayi is still in Liuzhou celebrating her grandmother's birthday. Although marriage is decided by the parents and the matchmaker, I only have her as my daughter. I want to take care of her more. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."
Hearing this, Pei Yuning's face turned pale, "Jiayi also calls me uncle, am I going to harm her?"
"I dare not, I'm just thinking about Jiayi... Jiayi..." Princess Qing was anxious, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Prince Qing quickly held her back and said, "Your Majesty, the princess and I both think that General Xu is a rare and good son-in-law. Everything is up to your majesty's arrangements."
Princess Qing closed her eyes helplessly, allowing Prince Qing to interrupt her.
Xu Huasong is still a little dazed by the current situation.
Pei Yuning got a satisfactory answer and stopped questioning Prince Qing. He turned to Duke Xu and said, "Since the Prince Qing's Mansion has this wish, I wonder what Duke Xu has to say?"
"Your Majesty..." Duke Xu was a little embarrassed for a moment. What on earth was going on?
Didn’t you say that Huai Li should ask for grace himself?
Why would he go to Prince Qing's Mansion for help? I haven't heard that it has any connection with Princess Jiayi? ?
Just when Duke Xu was in trouble, Xu Huaili made a choice for himself.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to revoke your order!" Xu Huaili knelt down and refused in a loud and clear voice.
