Chapter 328 Unlucky White Moonlight 4
If someone else said this, the emperor would definitely be furious, but when it came to Luo's father, he just wanted to laugh.
I didn't expect that this old guy would have such a day. Usually, he either complained that his tea was tasteless or that he talked too much, but he never gave him such a big gift like today.
"Then kneel down."
After he finished speaking, the emperor picked up his pen again, opened the book on the table and prepared to continue working.
Father Luo looked up again and again, and finally got up after making sure that the emperor would not buy his tricks.
"Not pretending anymore?"
As Father Luo stood up, the emperor's teasing voice reached his ears.
"Your Majesty, you are truly wronging me. I am not someone who will pretend to be like that. I just have a small request."
It was rare to see him so embarrassed, and the emperor seemed to be in the mood to watch the show, still busy with the things at hand without haste.
Father Luo stood up and stared at the emperor, secretly anxious in his heart, and quickly asked me what I wanted! As he waited, he became a little anxious.
Seeing him so impatient, I was so happy that I was going crazy. This old bastard would have to come to me for help one day.
After a cup of tea, Father Luo could no longer stand. His heels felt like they were sprinkled with itching powder and he wanted to move.
Noticing that he began to shift slightly, the emperor knew he was anxious, and then he slowly asked, "Oh? My dear, what do you want to ask me?"
The emperor still had an expressionless face, and Luo's father couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood today, so he could only grit his teeth and kneel down again.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to cancel the engagement between An An and Prince Jin."
The emperor expected that the matter would not be too simple, otherwise the old man would not play this trick on him, but he did not expect it to be this.
Prince Jin's mother was just a palace maid. If he and General Luo's only daughter had not fallen in love with each other, he might have almost forgotten that he had such a son.
But no matter how much he ignored it, he was still his son. If someone else had brought up this matter today, he would have scolded them profusely, but...
Forget it! Let’s first ask this old man what’s going on!
The emperor looked at Luo's father with a serious face and asked, "What's going on? A few days ago, the Prince of Jin said he would pick an auspicious day to propose marriage. Why is he suddenly calling off the engagement?"
Father Luo lowered his head and curled his lips where the emperor couldn't see. This is not your son's fault.
Thinking of his wife's instructions before leaving, General Luo adjusted his expression and looked up, saying, "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler, and of course your children are all outstanding. How come our family is marrying up in social status? I..."
"Get up! Speak human language!"
Before Mr. Luo could finish what his wife had instructed him to say, he was interrupted by the emperor.
Father Luo wanted to curl his lips again, but this time he held back and kept muttering in his heart, Madam, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that the emperor doesn’t allow me to say it.
After muttering, Father Luo decisively stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin keeps saying that he will marry no one but An'an of my family, and yet he keeps flirting with the daughter of Minister Mei. What's the logic behind this?"
The emperor frowned. If he remembered correctly, there were no unmarried daughters in Minister Mei's family.
He asked whatever he thought of. Father Luo was just about to talk about this matter, so of course he gave Minister Mei a cold shoulder without saying a word.
"Ahem, the young lady in the mansion is already married, but when Minister Mei was young, he was very charming and handsome, so it's inevitable that he wouldn't reveal something to the outside world."
Emperor: ... Could you please put away that sarcastic expression of yours?
However, the emperor was still somewhat displeased when he thought that Prince Jin could not control himself at such a critical moment and got involved with a concubine's daughter.
He knew that every one of his sons wanted to fight for the position under him, but not everyone could hold this position.
The first thing to do is to distinguish between priorities and put the overall situation first. Even if you really like the one outside, wait until you marry the princess, and then give her a casual status and bring her into the house.
Going in and out with others so blatantly, isn't this a slap in the face of the General's Mansion? No wonder his old brother is so angry and insists on asking for permission to cancel the engagement.
"Alright! Don't be angry anymore. I'll call someone over to give her a beating later. I promise not to let your daughter suffer any injustice.
Besides, based on his status, he can never surpass the princess. Even if he is given a title and enters the palace, he will still live under your daughter's control. There will be plenty of time to vent his anger. Don't be impatient! "
There is nothing wrong with this statement in this era, but Luo's father is a complete daughter slave and feels very uncomfortable.
A father who is a daughter slave always thinks that his daughter is the best in the world, and even if she is the emperor's son, he still has to be picky.
Of course, he only dared to mutter this in his heart and never dared to say it in front of the emperor. It is true that he is a rough man, but he is not a fool!
"Your Majesty, if it were someone else, it would be fine. At most, I could go back and persuade my daughter to be patient. After all, as a daughter-in-law of the royal family, I cannot be jealous. I must let Prince Jin have more children, but...ah!"
Father Luo began to hesitate to speak again. Not only did the emperor feel pain in his eyes when he saw him like this, but he himself also felt uncomfortable all over.
But thinking of his daughter's aggrieved look, Father Luo could only hold it in.
A little impatience will ruin a big plan. He is a man who does big things, so he must not be fussy about small details.
Father Luo continued to sigh, and the emperor felt pain in his eyes just by looking at him. It was hard for him to come to him and act for his daughter.
"Alright, alright! If you have anything else to say, hurry up and say it. If it's too late, I won't be in charge anymore!"
Seeing that the emperor wanted to give up, Luo's father stopped being polite and told the whole story in a rush.
"Tell me, if the two don't look alike, it's fine! But now everyone says that Minister Mei's daughter is An An's stand-in. If they really set up a mansion together, who will be annoyed?
Besides, Minister Mei Wu... Minister Mei and I already dislike each other. If we quarrel again because of the two children, it will be a laughing stock. Not to mention that if it delays the tasks assigned by His Majesty, I will be a sinner in the world.
I have been thinking for a long time at home, and after much deliberation, the only solution is to cancel the engagement, which will neither let my daughter suffer any injustice nor damage the relationship between us, the ruler and the minister."
The emperor did not expect such a thing to happen. While blaming Prince Jin for his inappropriate behavior, he also spoke to comfort Luo Fu.
"Everyone says you're a reckless man, but I think you're quite eloquent. I know about this, but I have to ask Prince Jin and see what he has to say."
Father Luo nodded, without any objection. "Alright! Then Your Majesty, please summon Prince Jin as soon as possible. I will be waiting here."
Emperor: ......
A stubborn ox is a stubborn ox. If someone else becomes the emperor, he will be criticized.
But thinking about how this reckless man had to lie in bed for a whole year to save himself on the battlefield, he felt a little helpless when he spoke.
