Of course, I, as a gentleman, should help others achieve their goals. Congratulations to Prince Qianye for winning the beautiful woman!
"Thank you, Father, for granting me the marriage, and thank you, Prince Yong, for helping me achieve this." Qian Yeming returned the greeting with a smile. His already exquisite face, coupled with a faint smile, instantly dimmed all the brilliance of the Taiji Palace.
Seeing this smile, everyone finally understood how beautiful Prince Ming looked when he smiled. If he weren't ill, this combination would have been a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
Afterwards, all the ministers stood up to congratulate the emperor, empress and prince.
Qian Yeming and the Marshal's Mansion successfully married, and all the princes looked unhappy.
Although Qian Yeming was frail and often sickly, he had managed to get by steadily over the past 20 years. Today, he was marrying into the Grand Marshal's Mansion. If nothing went wrong, or the Grand Marshal's Mansion didn't fall, he would be the next emperor without a doubt. So what else did they want?
"Your Majesty, I also want to ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage."
Just when everyone was congratulating the Crown Prince on his upcoming wedding, the Fourth Prince Qian Ye Ze also stood out.
Qian Ye Ze is 18 years old this year. He only has two female servants who serve as concubines, and he has not yet appointed a wife.
He was not as good as the eldest prince Qian Yeyao, whose mother was the Imperial Noble Consort and who had the support of his grandfather, the Prime Minister, Ling Mingying; nor was he as good as the third prince Qian Yechen and the fifth prince Qian Yeli, whose mother was the Noble Consort and who had the support of his uncle Ye Lixuan, the Minister of Works and a giant of Nanyue.
His mother was of the lowest status among all the concubines, just an ordinary concubine, and his only support in the court was his uncle, Duan Kui, the Imperial Censor of the Supervisory Council.
You know, the Supervisory Commission is a place where you can offend people. At most, there will be a few officials who have been given something against him and will be forced to support him in order to avoid being reported.
But to put it bluntly, he doesn't have a strong supporter behind him.
The court's direction was constantly changing, and the Marshal's Office was undoubtedly a powerful backer. Even if only the crown prince was left in the end, he wouldn't be able to fight for the throne, but as long as he could be crowned king in another place in the end, that would be enough.
And if he was lucky and the crown prince died, then the Grand Marshal would have no choice but to support him to take the throne! In this way, although his status and position were low, they were no worse than those of the other princes.
However, when Qian Ye Ze requested for the marriage, he paid no attention to Concubine Duan who kept winking at him.
"Oh? Who do you want to marry?" Emperor Dezheng's voice sounded.
"Your son wishes to marry the fourth daughter of the Grand Marshal, Murong Xue."
Qian Ye Ze's words made Murong Qingyu's eyes light up, but made the emperor's face completely dark.
This damn Murong Qingyu, he only has five sons, but he raises five daughters. Is he planning to kidnap all his sons?
This fourth son was unknown in daily life. People originally had a good impression of him. He had no powerful relatives, so he would be a good successor to the throne. However, he dug his own grave.
In just a moment, Qian Ye Ze was sentenced to death in the emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, Ze'er is young and ignorant. He doesn't understand what love is. He is just joking with you. Don't take it seriously." Concubine Duan, who was sitting in the second seat to the right of the emperor, quickly spoke up to stop her son from doing anything stupid.
Qian Ye Ze was furious when he saw his mother glaring at him fiercely and trying to stop him from asking his father to grant him a marriage. He didn't understand why other people's mothers were so driven, but his own mother was like a pile of mud that couldn't be helped.
On weekdays, because they have no power, they can only wander outside the center of power.
