Chapter 521: I don’t want to marry her!
Luo Yechen silently despised himself in his heart. He really was judging others by his own mean standards!
He thought the prince would take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury, but the prince showed his noble character. This comparison made him seem even more petty.
Luo Yechen looked towards the prince with a look of guilt in his eyes.
The Emperor: "Since the prince has said so, I guess those people outside are just talking nonsense."
Luo Yechen quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, those people are just talking nonsense. I have always had a good relationship with Bu Shengyan. Yesterday was just a joke. Father, don't take it to heart."
The emperor smiled meaningfully and said, "Since you have a good relationship with the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, why don't you marry her?"
Luo Yechen:!!!
Luo Yechen felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was so frightened that his soul left his body and he almost died on the spot.
He showed a look of horror: "No, no, no! I don't want to marry her!"
Emperor: “Why?”
Luo Yechen blurted out without thinking: "Of course it's because I don't like her!"
Emperor: "But you just said you have a very good relationship with her."
Luo Yechen was almost crying: "I have a decent relationship with her, but that doesn't mean I will marry her!"
The emperor frowned, looking a little unhappy: "Then tell me, who do you want to marry?"
This question came too suddenly, and Luo Yechen couldn't answer it, which made him even more anxious.
"Marriage is a matter that affects my lifelong happiness. I don't want to make a hasty decision. I beg Your Majesty to give me some time to think about it."
In fact, the emperor just said that casually, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this marriage was very good.
The Bu family is full of loyal and brave people. Except for one Dingyuan Marquis, all other male members of the family died in battle. Now the Bu family is dwindling and has no real power in the court, but their status and reputation are very high.
Such a family is most suitable to become relatives of the emperor. The emperor can profit from it without having to worry about creating another Qin family.
All benefits and no harm!
The emperor's tone suddenly became tough.
"I have given you many opportunities to choose before, and you said you would consider it every time. In the end, nothing came of it. Today, I will make it clear that you and the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan are a good match, and this marriage must be completed! If you are unwilling, it will be disobedience, and you will have to consider the consequences yourself."
…
When he walked out of the meeting hall, Luo Yechen was completely distraught.
He really couldn't understand why his father suddenly thought of letting him marry Bu Shengyan?
There are so many noble ladies in Shengjing City, why did my father choose Bu Shengyan?
Is it just because he said that he has a good relationship with Bu Shengyan?
If that were the case, he would rather be impeached than speak nonsense!
However, knowing it earlier is priceless.
Once the words are spoken, there is no way to take them back.
Luo Yechen could only think of another way.
He hurriedly ran to find Concubine Hui, wanting her to help solve this problem.
When Concubine Hui learned about this, she was also shocked.
"Last night I specifically asked the Emperor to help you choose a good marriage, why did he choose the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan?"
Concubine Hui had seen Bu Shengyan in the palace before and did not have a very good impression of her. In her opinion, Bu Shengyan's temperament was too wild and she did not look like a virtuous person who would be content with her family. If Luo Yechen married Bu Shengyan, he would definitely suffer in the future.
Concubine Hui certainly could not let her precious son suffer any injustice, so she immediately ran to the emperor, hoping that he would change his mind.
The emperor said angrily, "Didn't you ask me to choose a princess for the King of England last night? I thought about it later and felt that what you said made sense. The King of England is getting older and older, and his marriage can't be delayed any longer. It just so happens that he is the same age as the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, and their family background and appearance are also compatible. I think they are a good match."
Concubine Hui felt that it was not appropriate at all and Bu Shengyan was not worthy of her precious son at all!
But she couldn't say this openly, she could only say it aggrievedly.
"But the King of England doesn't like Miss Bu."
The emperor sneered: "He said it himself before, that he has a good relationship with Miss Bu, and now you say he doesn't like Miss Bu, what? Are you kidding me?"
Concubine Hui was panicked and quickly knelt down: "I didn't mean that. I just felt that the King of Ying had no romantic feelings for Miss Bu."
Emperor: "It is normal for them not to have any romantic feelings. If they develop romantic feelings before getting married, that would be a big problem."
Concubine Hui was speechless.
The emperor said impatiently, "Miss Bu is excellent in both appearance and family background. If you are not satisfied with her, who else do you want your son to marry? You should know your own limitations. You should know the lid for your pot. Don't be too arrogant!"
Concubine Hui was scolded so much that her face turned red and she left in disgrace.
After returning to Yaohua Palace, Concubine Hui conveyed the emperor's intention to her son.
Luo Yechen was furious, but helpless.
Concubine Hui said helplessly: "From what the emperor said, he has made up his mind to let you marry Bu Shengyan. If you don't marry her, it would be equivalent to disobeying his order."
Luo Yechen felt suffocated whenever he thought about having to spend his whole life with that tigress Bu Shengyan.
But the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. No matter how unwilling he was, he dared not disobey it.
Concubine Hui felt extremely distressed when she saw her son's hopeless look.
She comforted him, "Don't be too sad. Even if the emperor lets you marry Bu Shengyan, you can still take a concubine in the future. If you don't like her, stay away from her. If that doesn't work, bring her to the palace and I'll help you discipline her."
Luo Yechen was very annoyed: "This is not a question of taking a concubine or not... Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly, I'll go back first."
Concubine Hui watched her son leave, feeling very upset.
She really looked down on Bu Shengyan, not only because Bu Shengyan's temper was too wild, but also because the Bu family had few members and Marquis Dingyuan was a lame man with no real power.
Such an in-law will not help the future of the King of England at all.
The imperial decree granting the marriage was sent to the Prince of Ying's Palace and the Marquis of Dingyuan's Palace.
This marriage was really unexpected. Clearly this morning someone impeached King Ying and Bu Shengyan for fighting in public, but the emperor turned around and granted the marriage to the two.
This mysterious operation is really confusing.
We can only sigh inwardly that the emperor’s mind is hard to predict!
Bu Shengyan was furious when she received the imperial decree granting her marriage.
She turned and ran out.
Dingyuan Hou shouted: "Stop!"
Although he had a limp in one leg, he still had the majestic aura of someone who had fought on the battlefield for many years.
Just two words were enough to scare the servants around so much that they trembled in fear and dared not even breathe.
