Chapter 602: Mom, I don’t want to marry him!
Everyone's mouths opened in shock; they never expected Concubine Xiao to suddenly do this!
The emperor's body is a secret, how can you tell it casually?
At this moment, several princes looked at the emperor with eager eyes.
The Queen Mother and the Empress' expressions changed suddenly!
"Empress Xiao!"
The Queen glanced at the Emperor who seemed to be a little moved and said angrily:
"The emperor just caught a minor cold. The imperial physician has prescribed medicine and he will be well again soon."
She winked at the emperor frantically, and the queen mother echoed:
"Yes, the weather has been changeable these days, and I have a severe headache.
Emperor, you must cooperate with the imperial physician and take the medicine."
"Thank you for your concern, mother. I know."
The emperor finally realized that if he let his sons know about his physical condition, they might rebel against him.
Worried that these people would think too much, the Queen Mother cleverly changed the subject. Her eyes slowly fell on Song Jiuli next to Jiang Wan.
"I think Miss Li'er is pretty good. She is a good match for the eldest son of Minister Jin."
The Minister of Rites, Jin, is the nephew of the Queen Mother. Is he trying to pull Song Jiuyuan into the Queen Mother's camp?
Song Jiuli became anxious when she heard this, and she hurriedly pulled Mrs. Song.
"Mom, I don't want to marry him!"
"The Queen Mother has good taste."
Minister Jin stood up and was about to speak when Song Qing suddenly said:
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother has excellent vision, but my daughter is naughty, so I would like to stay for a few more days."
"You're already at the right age to get married."
The Queen Mother was in a bad mood. From what Song Qing said, did he mean to refuse?
"I think they are a good match."
"Then follow the Queen Mother's wishes and grant them marriage."
The emperor didn't care about that. He smiled and said:
"The eldest son of the Jin family, Jin Congwen, is handsome and elegant, and the daughter of the Song family, Song Jiuli, is kind and gentle, and they are a perfect match.
Pass on my order and choose a date for the wedding!"
Jin Congwen knelt in the center of the hall with a smile on his face, "I accept your order and thank you for your grace."
It seems that they had planned this long ago, and Song Jiuyuan and his men were caught off guard.
Song Jiuli's eyes suddenly widened, and tears seemed to be stained in her clear eyes.
"mother."
Her voice was hoarse, and Mrs. Song felt very distressed, but there was nothing she could do but pat the back of her hand gently.
"Li'er, go and receive the order first, and we'll slowly think of a solution."
Disobeying the imperial order is a capital crime.
Song Jiuli forced a smile, reluctantly stepped forward to receive the imperial edict, and came back feeling a little dazed.
Jiang Wan whispered to her, "If you really don't want to marry him, let's go back and think of a solution."
"Wanwan, don't worry about her."
Mrs. Song was a little annoyed. "I asked you to choose earlier, but you didn't. Now, you don't even have the chance to choose."
"Don't be angry, ma'am."
Song Qing held Mrs. Song's hand and comforted her, "There is still hope for this matter."
"I hope so."
Mrs. Song sighed slightly and felt very depressed.
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, no wonder there were so many unhappy couples in ancient times, it turned out that they were all forced together by someone else.
While she was thinking, the dog emperor on the throne continued:
"I think the War King's brother is handsome and seems to be of marriageable age."
Everyone:!!!
Sure enough, there was no good reason for this dog emperor to ask them back!
"emperor!"
Song Jiuchi glanced from a distance at Qi Chu, who was sitting next to Old Chu and had regained his identity, now Chu Qi.
Then he knelt on the ground and said, "I have already made an engagement in Jiuzhou."
Everyone was shocked again, it’s really a heart-pounding game!
"He really dares to say that."
Song Qing muttered something but did not refute. It was better than inserting a dog emperor's spy in.
Jiang Wan looked up at Chu Qi who was not far away, and her expression looked like she was about to cry.
However, Mr. Chu remained calm, as if he knew nothing.
"oh?"
The dog emperor raised his eyebrows majestically, as if he was a little displeased, but Song Jiuchi seemed not to notice and continued:
"We know each other in Jiuzhou, and I will never let her down!"
"Is it the girl from the beloved family?"
The Dog Emperor said this deliberately in order to make Song Jiuchi sober up.
However, Song Jiuchi played dumb and said, "She is very ordinary, a girl from an ordinary family."
"How can that be possible?"
The Dog Emperor looked at Song Jiuyuan, "Jiuyuan, Jiuchi is your brother.
How could he marry such an ordinary girl as his wife? It would be better like this.
I will find you a girl from a family of equal status to be your principal wife, and your former fiancée can be treated as a concubine, which is a great honor for her!"
"grandfather!"
Chu Qi, who was not far away, was so angry that she jumped up and down. With her temper, if the other party was not the emperor, she would have gone crazy long ago.
Mr. Chu said calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't your lover trying to find a solution?"
Old Chu was no longer as kind as before towards Song Jiuchi, who almost kidnapped his granddaughter.
Instead, it had a sense of scrutiny. At least at this moment he was still satisfied with Song Jiuchi's performance.
"emperor."
Song Jiuchi said calmly, "According to the Song family precepts, a man can take a concubine only when he is 40 and has no children.
My father and elder brother strictly follow the rules, and I cannot break them."
"When did the Song family have this family rule?"
The Dog Emperor was stunned. He still remembered that the old lady of the Song family was carried up there.
Otherwise, why would Song Qing have two younger brothers?
Song Qing touched the tip of his nose and said, "Your Majesty, this is the family rule we set in Jiuzhou."
Speaking of Jiuzhou, the Dog Emperor felt quite uncomfortable. After all, everyone knew that it was his idea to exile the Song family.
So he could only cough lightly to cover it up and said, "If that's the case, then forget it."
Being able to successfully get married has already achieved one of his goals.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Song Qing brought Song Jiuchi to express his gratitude. When they came back and sat down, Song Jiuli glared at Song Jiuchi fiercely.
"Have you guessed this day?"
"yes."
Song Jiuchi did not lie to her, but made Song Jiuli even more angry.
"Then why didn't you remind me just now?"
"I didn't expect him to push you."
Song Jiuchi admitted that after all, his mind was entirely on Chu Qi and he really didn't notice these things.
Song Jiuli was about to die of anger, Jiang Wan whispered to comfort her:
"Don't be in a hurry. It's still a long time before you get married. You have plenty of opportunities."
It is hard to say whether this dog emperor can live that long.
However, if a woman cancels an engagement, her reputation will always be affected, so the dog emperor and the queen mother bet that Song Jiuli would not dare to be so rebellious.
"I hope so."
Song Jiuli was unhappy the whole night, with someone's handsome face in her mind.
If she had known this would happen, she would have listened to her mother and arranged the marriage earlier!
It's just a forced marriage. Tonight's affairs are far from over. When the singing and dancing were in full swing, Song Jiuyuan lowered his voice and said to Jiang Wan:
"Wanwan, the emperor has clearly taken Concubine Xiao's suggestion to heart.
If he sends someone to invite you, you should be more careful."
"I know."
Jiang Wan knew it well. Even though it was rejected at that time, the Dog Emperor would not give up any hope.
But she would not save someone who almost killed her.
The banquet was still going on, and just when Jiang Wan thought she had nothing to do for the time being, the Fifth Princess suddenly knelt in the middle of the hall.
"Father, I have someone I like, and I beg you to grant me marriage."
