Chapter 1010: Who dares to compete with the prince for his wife?
The second prince suddenly thought of this and felt depressed.
My father is becoming more and more partial.
I'm afraid that in my father's heart, only my third brother is his son?
Emperor Tianxi became even angrier after hearing the second prince's stammering words.
"So what if he's a prince? The Su family isn't the kind of family that seeks to curry favor with powerful people!" Emperor Tianxi said angrily, "They've always loved their daughters. As long as Fu Ya isn't happy, no matter your status, can you force her to marry you?"
Second Prince: “…”
It turns out that my father has such a high opinion of the Su family.
"If the emperor approves the marriage, will the Su family disobey his order?" The second prince said, facing the anger of Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi opened his mouth.
He felt that the Su family might really disobey the order.
Moreover, the Su family may not be the only one who is unlucky.
Emperor Tianxi suddenly recalled the bad luck that happened to him when he first arrived in Daliushu Village.
"Do you know that the last person who wanted to force Fu Ya to marry him was the Duke of Yingguo, who had been stripped of his title?" Emperor Tianxi said quietly.
The second prince was somewhat puzzled after hearing what Emperor Tianxi said.
"The Duke of Yingzhou's title was stripped because of his arrogance and recklessness. Furthermore, Lin Hong was incompetent in managing the household, and the Duke's wife and her daughter murdered the eldest daughter of the first wife..."
It must be said that the Second Prince knew very well about the Duke of Ying's mansion being stripped of its title.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the Second Prince and asked in an inexplicable tone, "What's the cause?"
Second Prince: “…”
What is the cause and what is not?
The second prince didn't quite understand what Emperor Tianxi meant.
Emperor Tianxi snorted and said, "If Duke Ying hadn't wanted to force Fu Ya to marry him, how could so many things have happened? How could the identity of Fu Ya's mother have been implicated? And how could he have been stripped of his title in the end?"
Second Prince: “…”
My mind raced.
Could it be that my father thinks that if I marry Princess Fude, I won’t even be able to become a prince in the end?
Is that what you mean?
The second prince was a little frightened.
"Father, your son..."
"Don't mention this matter again!" Emperor Tianxi said in a majestic voice.
Second Prince: “…”
Is he really just going to give up?
"Father, what if the Su family agrees to the marriage?" The second prince asked unwillingly.
Emperor Tianxi felt that his second son was becoming more and more daring today.
Emperor Tianxi slammed the table.
“Get out!”
**
The news that the second prince wanted to marry Princess Fude quickly spread in the palace.
As to how the news spread and who leaked it, there is no way of knowing.
"I didn't expect the Second Prince to be such a calculating person." Concubine Shu curled her lips and said while playing cards, "He's much smarter than his stupid mother."
The virtuous concubine dealt a card, neither slow nor hurried, and said meaningfully, "How can this be considered clever? It's obvious that her biological mother was demoted, and she lost her composure and revealed her true feelings."
The Imperial Concubine sighed and said as she drew her cards, "I originally thought this child was honest and upright, not competitive. But now it seems I was wrong..."
Several ladies were discussing this matter while playing cards.
The virtuous concubine thought for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, now it's not only the Second Prince who wants to take advantage of Fu Ya, I'm afraid even the aristocratic families in the capital are planning to take advantage of her."
"That's not necessarily true," Concubine Shu said, "Although Fu Ya is favored by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, the Su family's financial resources are too meager, and their foundation is too weak. Even if Fu Ya herself is a princess, she can't compare to the legitimate daughters of those aristocratic families."
After all, when a wealthy family marries a daughter-in-law, they don't marry a useless princess, but a family that can bring help and benefits to their family.
Because of this, when wealthy families marry, they do not only focus on one person.
More often than not, people are interested in the family and power behind that person.
After hearing what Concubine Shu said, Concubine Xian looked at her with disdain.
"I call you stupid, but you refuse to admit it. Fuya has the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Third Prince behind her. What wealthy family can compare?" The virtuous concubine said, "If not, why do you think the Second Prince is so determined to marry Fuya?"
When Concubine Shu heard Concubine Xian call her stupid, she immediately became angry.
"You're so clever!" Concubine Shu said angrily, "You're so clever, are you secretly instigating your Wang family to propose marriage to the Su family?"
No one knew whether the Wang family had gone to the Su family to propose marriage, but the second prince rode a tall horse and went to visit the Su family with gifts in a grand manner.
Moreover, when he revealed his love for Princess Fude and wanted to marry her, the people in the capital were very happy as it gave them another topic of conversation after dinner.
At the same time, some wealthy families who had originally considered marrying into the Su family gave up the idea.
There is no way. Who would dare to compete with the prince for his wife?
Bai family.
After hearing this, the second lady hurried to find the old lady.
"Mom, why don't you call An'er back? Su Tang can't be our daughter-in-law anyway. An'er must be having a hard time in such a poor and remote place."
The second wife said this at the end with a look of heartache on her face.
In order to marry into the Su family, Bai Shuan took the opportunity to send the Queen Mother to Daliushu Village.
Then, based on the idea that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, he was arranged to study in Fude Academy.
Now, the second prince wanted to marry Tang Bao, and the second wife gave up the idea and wanted to call her son back.
After hearing what the Second Lady said, the Old Lady said, "You are so confused! Why are you so anxious? The Second Prince's biological mother is just a little beauty. What's there to be afraid of?"
Second Madam: "...But, Mother, he is a prince after all."
Even if his biological mother is rejected, isn't he still the emperor's son?
The old lady looked at her shallow-minded daughter-in-law and once again regretted that she had not made a good choice when choosing her.
However, no matter how much you despise him, you have to continue teaching him.
"The Emperor demoted the Second Prince's birth mother at this moment. This is clearly a public announcement to the world, directly cutting off the Second Prince's possibility of ascending to that throne!" The old lady said, "Otherwise, for the sake of the Second Prince, he would never demote his birth mother!"
After all, if the prince's biological mother has flaws, it will directly affect the prince's reputation among the court officials.
This is especially important for the crown prince.
Because of this, until now, the Empress in the palace has never allowed Xuanyuan Jin to enter the gate of Kunhe Palace.
The ministers in the court were all well aware of this.
It was just that the second wife of the Bai family, a woman in the harem, could not see this.
"As the saying goes, a phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken." The old lady continued, "If the Second Prince now reveals his intention to marry the Su family's daughter, it will only arouse the Emperor's suspicion. Such a cowardly and foolish man will never achieve great things."
"If An'er has the chance to marry a daughter of the Su family in the future, with the support of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Third Prince, why would he be afraid of a mere Second Prince?"
When the old lady finished speaking, her tone was full of calculation and determination.
After listening to the old lady's words, the second lady thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
"Mother is really thoughtful." said the second wife.
At this time, the eldest lady came.
As soon as the old lady saw the eldest lady, she immediately asked, "Where's Zhi'er? Hasn't he come back yet?"
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Mother, Zhi'er sent a letter back. He has been reciting poems and painting with some good friends these past few days, and they have been talking all night long. He will stay out for a few more days."
