Chapter 351: Remarriage
But this sincerity is just the difference between the three wives and four concubines.
In their eyes, being loved and favored by the royal family is already a great fortune for you. How could you have the space to think about something that goes against the moral code of being together for the rest of your life?
If you marry someone you like, and if the yard is not big enough, you can build one. As for whether you like that kind of life after you marry him, that is not something you should think about.
But Chu Yunzhao is not such a person.
He also knew what he should do as a prince, and he also had the desire to fight for power, but he treated people with sincerity, whether it was to his relative or close friend, or to Luo Shishan, his sincerity never changed in the slightest.
"Ultimately, this matter depends on Miss Luo's intention. If Miss Luo has no one else in her heart, even if we force the marriage, I'm afraid it will only make Miss Luo sad and regretful."
Chu Jinnian lowered his head and thought, "You don't have to do this for now. Let me think about it and see if there is any solution."
"But the emperor is urging you to get married soon, so you have to find a way to hide away."
If the marriage is postponed for a long time, more unexpected things will naturally happen.
Chu Yunzhao understood what Chu Jinnian meant, nodded and smiled, "This is easy to handle. I am usually allergic to lotus flowers, and I cannot eat them. Although there are fewer lotus flowers nowadays, there are still some. If I eat them by mistake, I will definitely get a serious illness. Everything can be postponed naturally."
"But if I stay in the palace to rest, you will have to pay more attention to everything, which will be hard work for you."
"You're talking as if I don't care about it normally?" Chu Jinnian glanced at Chu Yunzhao. "Of course, this hard work is not in vain. I'm doing this for the Fourth Prince, so I have to ask for some benefits from him."
"Just ask. You can take whatever I have in Qing'an Garden. Even if you want me to take it, I won't say anything."
Chu Yunzhao joked.
"I'm afraid my Qi Wang Mansion can't afford to support someone like you who needs to eat five bowls of rice in one meal."
Chu Jinnian turned his face away in disdain, "It's just that I haven't thought of what to ask the Fourth Prince for at this moment, so the Fourth Prince will owe it to me first. When I remember it, I will ask the Fourth Prince for it."
"That's fine. You can take it when you remember it."
Chu Yunzhao said, "Father has given me a few paintings and calligraphy these past two days. I remember that you like collecting paintings and calligraphy very much. I will have someone send them to your house later."
"The Fourth Prince is thoughtful." Chu Jinnian stood up. "It's getting late, so I won't bother you any more."
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come to the palace, why don't you go and see your mother?" Chu Yunzhao suggested. "My mother is thinking about you very much. She has been talking to me about you these days."
Moreover, every time Chu Jinnian entered the palace, he would go to see Concubine Hui.
After all, for Chu Jinnian, after his mother passed away, the only relative he had in his eyes was his aunt, Concubine Hui.
"Let's do it another day." Chu Jinnian shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate today."
"Oh?" Chu Yunzhao was a little surprised.
"Before I entered the palace, the King of Qi sent someone to tell me to go home for dinner in the evening." Chu Jinnian said, "I don't know what kind of Hongmen Banquet he is going to prepare. After thinking it over, I decided to go back and take a look."
"It also saves me from making excuses again and again, and then I don't know what he is up to."
"Fourth Prince, take me to greet the Imperial Concubine first. I will come to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine another day."
Chu Yunzhao pursed his lips.
The Prince of Qi is the sixth brother of the current emperor. Although they are not born of the same mother and did not grow up together due to their age difference, they have a very good relationship because the Prince of Qi's mother is on good terms with the Queen Mother.
When His Majesty ascended the throne, the King of Qi was greatly favored by the Emperor. Such brotherly love and respect for each other were praised by the world.
In addition, that year the emperor and the prince of Qi married the legitimate sisters of the Qiao family in Yangzhou at the same time, as concubine and princess respectively, which became a good story.
It's a pity that although the Prince of Qi married a beautiful princess, he still did not change his romantic habits. Even when the princess was pregnant and about to give birth, and her life was in danger, the Prince of Qi was partying in brothels every night and did not care.
After giving birth to Chu Jinnian, the Princess of Qi stayed in the Prince of Qi's mansion for another four years. Although she and the Prince of Qi did not see each other day and were cold to each other, on the surface, everything seemed peaceful.
It was not until the Prince of Qi wanted to marry Na Luo as his concubine and doted on her, and even promised her the position of princess consort, that the Princess of Qi smashed the Prince of Qi's study, threw down a divorce letter, and returned to Yangzhou with Chu Jinnian without looking back.
But there was absolutely no reason for the prince of the Prince of Qi to live with Princess Heli in his maternal grandparents' home forever.
The King of Qi was naturally dissatisfied with Xiao Qiao's arrogance and disregard for her husband's dignity, so he went directly to Yangzhou to ask for Chu Jinnian.
But the Qiao family was one of the eight great families, and the emperor had to give them some face. The Qiao family was quite angry about their legitimate daughter being treated so unfairly, and they directly rejected the King of Qi's request.
The King of Qi and the Qiao family started a complete quarrel, and neither side gave in.
Therefore, even though the emperor tried to mediate, it was not until four years later that Chu Jinnian was brought back to the Prince of Qi's Palace. At this time, the princess consort was Luo, and the babbling Chu Jinzhuo, Luo's son, was already in the palace.
In the same year that Chu Jinnian returned to the Prince of Qi's Mansion, news spread in Yangzhou that Xiao Qiao had remarried.
Xiao Qiao's new husband was just an ordinary merchant in Jiangyin.
I don't know if it's because he feels that the person Xiao Qiao remarried is of low status, which makes him, a dignified prince, lose face, or because Chu Jinnian didn't grow up by his side and his temperament is not compatible, or because Luo is interfering...
In short, the King of Qi was very impatient with Chu Jinnian and was finding fault with him everywhere.
Chu Jinnian was also cold and disrespectful towards King Qi.
The father and son are like enemies, incompatible.
In addition, Concubine Hui was worried that Chu Jinnian was being bullied in the Prince of Qi's mansion, so she brought Chu Jinnian into the palace to be looked after from the day he returned to the capital. This made the Prince of Qi increasingly dissatisfied, and he became more and more disgusted with Chu Jinnian.
This situation has continued until now.
"If you want to take a look, then take a look." Chu Yunzhao said, "But you haven't been home for a long time. If you don't bring some gifts to show your filial piety, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
Chu Yunzhao winked and emphasized the gift and filial respect very much.
You can guess what Chu Yunzhao is thinking of with just your toes.
"You don't have to worry about it, Fourth Prince. These things have already been arranged and sent over half a month ago. I think the King of Qi is probably enjoying himself now."
Chu Jinnian answered with a blank expression.
"No wonder I heard that Luo was ill a few days ago and invited a royal doctor from the palace to see her. I'm afraid this illness is not some other disease, but a mental illness."
