Chapter 98: Marry the good-for-nothing Fifth Prince! Do you dare?
He Zhaojun smiled bitterly in her heart. His Majesty had even decided on the candidate. In fact, there were countless young men of the right age in the capital.
However, Your Majesty cannot allow her to become the assistant of any foreign relative, nor the daughter-in-law of any powerful official.
After much selection, only these royal men are left.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is not your turn to choose the princes. I should first ask them if they are willing to marry someone like me as their bride."
Emperor Wen was intrigued. "Oh? What kind of person are you?"
He Zhaojun straightened up and said, "I have been arrogant and domineering since I was young, and my temper is well-known in the capital. Moreover, I was engaged to the Lou family and broke off the engagement twice, and I almost married the son of a traitor. Naturally, my reputation is extremely bad."
"If anyone wants to marry me, they will naturally be discussed together, and they must even be prepared to be defeated by me and their families destroyed, and their lives will be in danger at any time."
Emperor Wen glared at him and said, "You were conferred the title of Lord Ancheng by me personally. Who dares to say anything about you?"
"I'm not like other women. I'm vindictive. If anyone has ever hurt me, no matter how long it takes, I'll make them pay me back a hundredfold. That's why I have so many enemies. If you're with me, you're probably always in danger of your life."
Many men who were already tempted stopped talking after hearing this and dared not say anything more.
"What's more, after getting married, I don't like to serve Jungu and stay at home to take care of my husband and children. I don't think I can do these things well. I have wasted Concubine Yue's teachings!"
When Emperor Wen heard this, he realized that He Zhaojun had spoken so badly of him today just to make him give up the idea of marrying her to one of the princes, so he slammed the table.
"I told you that you are marrying into the royal family. If they can't marry you, who else can? Otherwise, are you going to follow the example of Princess Yuchang, cut your hair, and go to a Taoist temple to practice asceticism?!"
He Zhaojun didn't say anything for a long time. She turned around secretly and took a look at the Fifth Prince who was lying on the side, looking at her out of the corner of his eye and pretending to be drunk.
This person is acceptable, but he is not favored and has no share in the throne. If she marries him, it will be equivalent to the He family withdrawing from the competition for the throne, so Your Majesty naturally does not have to worry.
What's more, this is a character in the original drama who doesn't even have a name. Even if something happens during their relationship that may change the trajectory of his life, it may not necessarily affect the overall situation.
Thinking of this, He Zhaojun made up her mind and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. The person I want to marry is Wu..."
Before she could finish her words, her hand was grabbed. Wen Ziduan knelt beside her and interrupted her: "Father, Queen Mother, Concubine Mother! I will not endure this any longer! Please grant me the marriage. I am willing to marry Zhaojun!"
Concubine Yue held her forehead, feeling a headache. Why did Sanlang jump out and disrupt the situation for no reason?
Marrying the Fifth Prince might not be a good thing, but it was definitely not a bad thing. The Fifth Prince was not loved by others, but he had no worries about food and clothing, and he was an unrestrained and idle prince. When he reached the age of 18 and went to his fiefdom, wouldn't He Zhaojun still have the final say?
Now that Wen Ziduan had done this, He Zhaojun was really in a dilemma, as if she was being roasted on the fire!
He Zhaojun didn't know what Wen Ziduan was going to do. As for the others, they were completely shocked by the development of the situation.
The only person in the audience who was calmer than Emperor Wen was Ling Buyi. It was obvious that he even had some appreciation in his eyes for Wen Ziduan's public proposal of marriage.
At this moment, Wen Ziduan whispered in He Zhaojun's ear: "If you dare to say that you want to marry the good-for-nothing Fifth Brother, I will make you a widow tomorrow! Then, you will still be mine!"
