"Father, please help me!"
The third princess knelt down and saw that Emperor Jianchang's face was not right, so she pleaded again.
"Wu Hanmo is a good person, but as a cavalry general, he is away from home all year round and is not suitable for you!"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no rule that a prince consort could not participate in court affairs.
Emperor Jianchang simply felt that as a general, Wu Hanmo had to guard the country's borders all year round, and the couple needed to live apart all year round.
"Father, after we get married, I am willing to follow you, your Highness, and guard the border."
Xiao Daifu expressed her thoughts firmly.
Emperor Jianchang thought about it and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Concubine De who broke into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, you cannot allow the Third Princess to act recklessly. I do not wish to be separated from her and her daughter. Your Majesty must not agree to her request."
"Fu'er is the apple of my eye. I will never allow her to go to the border and eat sand, suffer hardships, and be separated from her." The crying of the beloved daughter is unbearable to hear.
Defei knelt in front of the imperial desk, and before she could say anything, tears began to fall.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Emperor Jianchang looked embarrassed.
Xiao Daifu never expected that her mother would put on a show in front of her father to show her deep mother-daughter love in order to marry her into the Wang family.
On weekdays, her mother rarely took the initiative to care about her.
As for the expenses and salaries in the palace, the Empress would secretly subsidize her in addition to the regulations.
Even when he was sick, he didn't get any care from his mother.
Now, when she is about to get married, they start using her to gain benefits.
She knew exactly what her mother was thinking, but her eldest brother was a coward and had no opinion of his own. No matter what happened, he would listen to the arrangements of her eldest sister-in-law, her uncle and cousin.
The eldest prince has no ability to compete for that position.
But my mother is determined to fight for it, which will harm my eldest brother.
It is obviously impossible to do something, but you still try to force it. In the end, there will only be rivers of blood.
Being in the royal family, she had already seen the sorrow of being a royal member.
Imperial power is nothing in the face of family affection.
Fortunately, she was born in a good time. Her father was broad-minded, knew how to appoint people to the right positions, and was not jealous of his ministers' abilities. The generals he appointed to be stationed outside the country were all capable and firmly guarded the country's borders, defeating those ambitious barbarians.
If she had not been bullied by those foreign tribes, there would have been no need for her, the princess, to marry into a foreign alliance.
She didn't have high demands. She just wanted to find someone she truly loved, who was willing to live with her wholeheartedly, and take her away from the palace where she had been trapped for many years, so that she could live a different life outside.
She is very content!
But even this request was deprived by her mother, how could she be willing?
"Mother, do you wish to marry me off to the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister's family?"
Xiao Daifu decided to fight poison with poison, and began to use tears to break Defei's tricks.
Concubine De had no idea that the Third Princess already knew her plan. She looked at her in shock with red eyes from crying, "My son, I've heard that the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister's family is a very good man. He's very young but already has a great reputation. If you marry him, you won't have to leave the capital, and I can see you often."
Emperor Jianchang nodded to show his understanding of Concubine De's thoughts.
"I also think Wang Jue is quite good. He writes well and is handsome. Fu'er, how about I let Wang Jue be your consort?"
Emperor Jianchang didn't want the third princess to marry Wu Hanmo and go with him to the bitter cold land of the northern border to suffer.
Tao Yuwei thought to herself, this is terrible.
Sure enough, when Xiao Daifu saw that Emperor Jianchang was unwilling to let her marry Wu Hanmo, she felt so depressed that she could hardly bear it.
She was the type of person who couldn't help herself.
"Father, I don't want to marry Wang Jue. I will marry no one but Wu Hanmo!"
Xiao Daifu's stubborn temper made Emperor Jianchang change his attitude.
Defei noticed that Emperor Jianchang's expression was not right, and angrily ordered the punishment of the third princess.
"Nonsense! Marriage is a matter of great importance and should be decided by parents. How can a girl like you make such a rash decision? Come, take the third princess back to the harem and place her under house arrest."
The performance of the three of them left Tao Yuwei, who was standing aside, stunned.
What a fierce quarrel.
Your Majesty has the final say.
"Uncle Emperor, you think my cousin is not worthy of the Third Princess, right?"
Tao Yuwei's bold remarks made Concubine De feel that she was too tactless. She dared to say anything and get involved in anything. How could an outsider like her get involved in the marriage of the third princess?
"Ah, in Anle's opinion, my eldest cousin Wu Hanmo is a handsome man. He won the first place in the imperial examination at the age of ten. Later, he gave up literature and took up military service. At a young age, he was very capable of leading troops in battle. It was all thanks to his own true ability that he became a general of cavalry. Compared with other young men in the capital, he is also a leader. It is also very suitable for the third princess to marry him."
After hearing what Tao Yuwei said, Concubine De's face darkened.
Emperor Jianchang heard what he said and burst into laughter.
"Anle, you're too good at boasting. You've almost praised Wu Hanmo to the skies."
Xiao Lichen sat in a wheelchair, standing aside without saying a word, but he watched the whole lively scene in the imperial study.
When Tao Yuwei saw that Emperor Jianchang was irritated by Xiao Daifu, his attitude improved a lot, and she quickly winked at Xiao Lichen who was at a certain distance.
[Oh, you blockhead, will you die if you say a few good words for the Third Princess?]
Seeing that her eyes were almost squeezed into cross-eyes, Xiao Lichen spoke at this time.
"Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister has a paternal love affair with many men. That Wang Jue has been hanging out with many men in private. The Third Princess cannot marry him!"
Xiao Lichen's words made Concubine De's face change drastically.
She didn't expect that Wang Jue actually liked men.
If someone else told this story, Concubine De might not believe it.
But when it comes out of Xiao Lichen's mouth, you can't help but believe it.
Who told him to be in charge of the intelligence and information networks throughout the Great Zhou?
He knew all the secrets of some officials under the emperor.
As the leader of Xiao Yuwei, he had no need to tell this lie.
what to do?
When His Majesty knows this news, he will definitely agree to let Fu'er marry into the Wang family.
Wouldn’t that invalidate the agreement between her and Prime Minister Wang?
No, no one can block the eldest prince's way.
Concubine De lowered her eyelids to hide the calculation in her eyes.
Emperor Jianchang was surprised to hear the news.
"I never thought that Wang Jue, known as a talented scholar, would be so unbearable. In my opinion, this goes against the upbringing of the Wang family, a family of scholars."
When Xiao Daifu heard the news, she smiled excitedly.
Finally, I don’t have to marry Wang Jue.
Unexpectedly, he was so disgusting. He clearly had a sexual habit, but he still wanted to marry a princess like her to cover up his shame and enhance his good reputation.
It's not possible to have everything you want.
"Fu'er, let's discuss your marriage for now. Go out of the palace with Anle first!"
Hearing this.
Tao Yuwei turned her head in disappointment and looked at Xiao Lichen with a helpless look on her face.
"Father..." Xiao Daifu stood up from the ground.
