Chapter 388: Marriage
So we can’t choose a principal wife now.
Bei Jingchu had no objection, and the Ministry of Rites immediately received an order to select beauties for the prince.
It was like throwing a stone into a lake, causing the people who were watching the prince's backyard to act quickly.
In the past, the sons of the Vietnamese nobles were trained by their families to become either civil or military talents, and at the very least, they would engage in business.
If you can't do anything, it's okay to be a dude who doesn't cause trouble.
Ever since Bei Jing first entered the Eastern Palace, the playboys have had a new path.
Those who are slightly better looking should learn how to capture a woman's heart.
Seducing the prince is also a path to wealth and glory!
Xu Lanqi, who had been prepared, quickly went to the emperor to fulfill his promise and reminded him, "Didn't Your Majesty agree to give my son the title of a legitimate wife?"
"That boy's love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obvious to all. I have often reminded him to be sensible and not to be jealous."
"Let him be the prince's husband. He will definitely relieve your highness of his worries and set a good example for you."
The words of Qianbei were still reminding him in both explicit and implicit ways: Didn't you say that you would give my son a position as the crown prince's first wife? Don't deny it now.
Bei Heng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
"The prince has his own ideas and is unwilling to marry a wife."
"If Cheng Zhu is willing to wait until the prince comes to his senses, that's fine, but he'll have to wait a few more years."
He lifted his sleeves and sighed, "It's also my fault that I haven't appointed a queen yet, setting a bad example for the prince."
This is to remind Xu Lanqi that as long as the prince is willing to get married, I will arrange it for your son.
But you see, I have lived for almost forty years and I still haven't had a queen, and I guess the crown prince won't have one either. If you insist on waiting for this position, you probably won't get it.
Xu Lanqi secretly cursed the old thief for being insidious.
What can he do? He can only accept it!
The donkey who went down the slope asked a concubine for marriage.
Out of guilt for his slip of the tongue, Bei Heng wrote an imperial edict out of respect and rewarded Xu Chengzhu with a lot of things to show his appreciation for him.
Xu Lanqi seemed to accept it reluctantly.
When he walked out of the door holding the imperial edict, he could no longer conceal the smile on his face.
Go home and show off to my son.
"Look at how powerful you are!"
"They are still eagerly awaiting the opportunity to enter the East Palace, practicing their etiquette and conversation at home, and asking people to help them."
"Father has already secured for you a title of successor, just below the principal wife, and a position similar to that of a concubine."
Xu Chengzhen held his face in his hands, looking a little sad.
"Aye is so useless. She is not the principal wife."
Xu Lanqi subconsciously picked up the imperial edict and wanted to hit him on the head with it.
Halfway through the knock, he realized that it was disrespectful, so he carefully put it back, and knocked his son on the head with his hand, saying unhappily, "Hey~ You little brat, how can you talk like that?"
He analyzed: "The principal wife is the future queen."
"It seems that the Crown Prince is going to imitate Your Majesty, so he doesn't plan to appoint a queen."
"Unless you can show her your worth, enough for her to make you her queen."
He said earnestly: "Your father has helped you to obtain the highest position in the Eastern Palace. Whether you can go further depends on your own ability."
Xu Lanqi was an experienced chicken: "Don't you want to be the prince's only husband?"
Xu Chengxuan was immediately excited, "I want to!"
As the first man to be defined as a woman, Bei Jingchu has mixed feelings towards Xu Chengzhun.
She said before that if Lao Deng dared to give her any wrong advice, she would overturn the palace.
The prerequisite is to choose a husband. If it is Cheng Hui, it doesn't matter if the emperor decides to choose anyone for her.
Not to mention, Bei Jingchu herself also had the intention, but she didn't intend to let him go through the back door right away.
Xu Chengzhu felt more at ease in the East Palace, and vowed to build good relationships with everyone from top to bottom every day.
Sometimes he would even openly squeeze out Jiang Longshou's seat and sit next to Bei Jingchu.
Facing Jiang Longshou's questioning, he said confidently: "I am His Highness's man!"
Jiang Longshou: ...divine gold.
If it wasn't in front of the prince, he would have punched the man in the face.
Bei Hua couldn't stand his showing off, so she slapped a stack of account books in front of him.
He put his hands around his chest and raised his chin.
"Here, these are all the chores of the Eastern Palace. Would you like to share some of the responsibilities in advance?"
Heo Seung-hyun:......
Xu Chengzhen was frightened.
