Zhu Wuhuan silently turned his head and looked at Zhu Chunjun.
Zhu Chunjun looked at her with wet eyes like a puppy, full of anticipation, waiting for his sister's support.
She suddenly had unlimited courage again!
She took a deep breath and looked at the old lady again, "Mother, there's really no rush for Fourth Brother's marriage. As the legitimate son of our dignified Duke, why should he worry about not being able to find a wife?"
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Yes, yes, your brother is the son of a great duke, the brother of a great queen, but so what? He is not the one in your belly. How can he let the noble lady wait for him foolishly without getting engaged? The noble lady is at the age of engagement. If he doesn't want to marry her, there will naturally be other young men who are willing to marry her. When he wants to marry her, he can only stare at other people's sedan chairs."
Seeing that Zhu Wuhuan was about to persuade her again, the old lady glanced at her and said, "Queen, if you can snatch someone else's wife to marry your brother, then you should continue to indulge him."
“…” Zhu Wuhuan lowered his head silently.
My mother is so sharp. What should I do if I can’t persuade her?
Zhu Chunjun was so anxious. Why was his sister's fighting ability so vulnerable?
Where is the Queen's domineering power?
He gently tugged at his sister's sleeve, "Third sister... Third sister..."
Zhu Wuhuan couldn't stand her brother's dependence on her, and couldn't persuade her old mother, so she could only turn around and tug at Feng Changye's sleeve, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Feng Changye looked down at her and burst out laughing.
Just now he had been watching the cute eye contact between his queen and his brother and found it very funny.
At this moment, the younger brother begged the queen, and the queen had no choice but to run over and grab his sleeve to beg him. This kind of extremely strong family atmosphere was something he had never experienced before. It was very fresh and warm.
It was as if he was not the almighty emperor at this moment, but just a domineering brother-in-law who had to stand up and protect his younger brother with his sister.
He reached out and gently took his wife's hand in his palm, whispering, "Okay, I'll help you."
Then he took a step forward and looked at Madam Zhu.
"Mother-in-law, please don't force Chunjun. If he doesn't want to get married now, then he won't get married. If you are worried that no one will wait for him, then I will confer the title of Earl on him. As long as his status is high enough, there will be many noble ladies willing to wait for him."
“…” As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him!
Zhu Wuhuan was shocked.
Her father had just been made a duke, and now her brother was going to be made an earl. Did her tyrant think that titles were easy to come by and be given away at will?
She was at her wit's end and really wanted him to help her, but not in this way!
Madam Zhu and Zhu Chunjun were also shocked.
In history, there was a queen who was very favored and could indeed bring blessings to her family. Her father was a marquis, her brother was an earl, and her brother's daughter could even marry a county lady for fun...
But the Zhu family never thought of relying on the queen to bless them, they could earn official positions and titles on their own!
So when the emperor wanted to confer the title of Earl on Zhu Chunjun, Zhu Chunjun was shocked and happy, but he didn't want it and he refused without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
He knelt down and said, "When I come of age, I can go to the battlefield and earn an official position. I don't want the emperor to reward me for my sister. If it gets out, people will say that my sister is a beauty that brings disaster, and they will also say that Your Majesty..."
He didn't dare say the rest of the words.
But Feng Changye is not a fool, he can guess it.
He looked down at the strong-willed young man and smiled, "Whether I am a tyrant or not will not be reflected by the title of one of the Queen's brothers, so don't worry about it. Don't you want to get married? With a title, you can have fun to your heart's content and you won't have to worry about not having a wife to marry you when you grow up."
Zhu Chunjun's ears turned red. "I don't want a title, and I don't want an engagement..."
He looked up at Feng Changye hesitantly, "Your Majesty, brother-in-law, please give a message to my parents, asking them not to force me into marriage. When I grow up, I will bring them a wife myself!"
Feng Changye laughed out loud.
He thought only little Chengying was cute, but he didn't expect that this kid was also quite fun!
He raised his head and glanced at the old lady who was holding her forehead helplessly, "Mother-in-law, look——"
What else can Madam Zhu do?
Her son has already begged the emperor for help, and the emperor now calls her mother-in-law. Since people have given her so much face, how can she not give this little face to the emperor's son-in-law?
She glared at Zhu Chunjun, then nodded helplessly in response to Feng Changye, "Then let's do as the emperor says. Let Chunjun have some fun for a few years before getting engaged."
Feng Changye successfully completed the task assigned by his wife. He looked at her sideways and asked in a low voice, "Are you happy now?"
Zhu Wuhuan looked up and smiled at him, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Feng Changye tapped her between the eyebrows and said, "Tsk, if only you could smile this happily when I asked you to make clothes for me!"
Madam Zhu and Zhu Chunjun were both very pleased to see the two of them being so affectionate.
The relationship between the emperor and the queen is getting better and better.
May they continue to be so good.
Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye sat with the old lady for a while before Zhu Huaining and Zhu Xuanyuan, who had been entertaining guests in the flower hall in front, came back.
Because no one was telling them to come, the father and son didn't know that the emperor and empress had arrived. They were walking and chatting, and suddenly they saw the emperor and empress sitting in the side hall. The father and son were shocked!
They quickly dressed and came in to pay their respects.
Feng Changye exempted them from the gift, and then chatted with the family as if he was just a small family, asking which families had come to propose marriage to Chunjun today.
The father and son answered with a smile.
After they chatted for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Wuhuan remembered that she had something to ask her father. So she made an excuse that she wanted to go see Xiao Chengying and asked her father to accompany her.
The father and daughter came to the backyard garden.
Zhu Wuhuan stopped and looked around while cautiously asking his father, "Dad, is there anyone hiding under the eaves?"
The last time Feng Changye asked Ji Yunchang to hide under the eaves and eavesdrop, she had a psychological trauma and would remember it for the rest of her life.
Zhu Huaining glanced around and said, "There's no one around, it's safe. What do you want to tell Dad?"
Zhu Wuhuan got straight to the point. "It's like this, Dad. The Emperor was tossing and turning the whole night. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he was moved by seeing you. He said he hasn't been able to let go of it for so many years. Why did you finally choose the Third Prince and give up on him..."
She looked at her father and said, "Dad, I'm also confused. Didn't you learn from Si Sangsang that the Third Prince would destroy the country? Why did you suddenly abandon the Emperor and support the Third Prince? Is it simply the Queen Mother who is interfering? I don't believe it. Aren't you afraid that the Third Prince will destroy the country again?"
Zhu Huaining didn't expect that his daughter would ask this question.
He never expected that the emperor would still be unable to let go of his abandonment back then.
