He Jingheng couldn't help but show shock on his face when he heard this.
"덿떚, if we can get Princess 녡떚 to provide us with this item, then we..."
"No!" He Jingheng's face darkened. "Give the order, no one is allowed to mention this matter again! Swallow your words!"
"Yes!" Since 덿떚 had said so, what else could they say?
After the snow bandits, there were a few rare days of leisure. The plague improved, and although food was in short supply, the court allocated funds for disaster relief, which also avoided the tragic situation of thousands of people starving to death.
Although Shang Shuliangzhou City did not play any role, it had no merits but hard work. After the plague was completely under control, Emperor Tianshun held a special banquet to commend the emperor and others.
Doctor Jiang was also invited.
At the banquet, the emperor sat in the first seat on the right side of the stage, opposite to him was the Grand Duke He Lingsheng.
The queen, who had not been present for a long time, also showed up. She was six months pregnant and had a bulging belly.
Her seat was next to Emperor Tianshun, on his left, while on his right, in the past it was Concubine Zhao, but today it was Concubine Shu.
Ever since the Emperor left Beijing again to provide disaster relief in the north, Emperor Tianshun often went to Yongfu Palace, where Concubine Shu lived.
I don't know what the two of them talked about in the palace, but it helped to untie many knots in her heart, and from then on, Concubine Shu was constantly favored by the emperor.
Even Concubine Zhao was outshined by her.
The ministers below looked at each other. It seems that the emperor is no longer the same as before!
"My dear." Emperor Tianshun smiled and said, "At the beginning, I promised that as long as you come back from disaster relief, I will personally confer the title of Prince Bao on you. I will fulfill my promise soon."
The emperor bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, father."
Emperor Tianshun waved his hand, and the palace ladies filed out, holding official hats in their hands and standing behind him.
The emperor changed his clothes and knelt down before the emperor again. Emperor Tianshun personally put the official hat on him.
Seeing this scene, He Lingsheng's hands tightened unconsciously.
When he was first canonized as the crown prince, his father did not personally confer the title on him. He never thought that such an honor would be taken by his father first.
"Thank you, Father."
"Stand up."
Emperor Tianshun was very pleased and rewarded Shang with many items.
Shang Wang had a look of joy on his face. He thought that he would have to give up his life in Liangzhou City this time. Unexpectedly, he not only returned safely but also received many rewards. Naturally, he was overjoyed. For example, the officials in the court were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. Previously, Emperor Tianshun had some complaints about him, so they ignored him. Now that he received rewards, they began to flatter him non-stop.
Officialdom is like this, adding icing on the cake is common, but helping others in times of need is rare.
"Prime Minister Shang is indeed a role model for all officials of Tianshun!"
"Yes! I admire you very much."
At this time, an official smiled and said, "Isn't Shang Xiang's eldest daughter old enough to get married?"
Upon hearing this, Shang 뎃 glanced at He Lingsheng subconsciously, then smiled and said, "That's right, but 놖 and 꽬 are always reluctant to let go, and want to keep you around for a little longer."
"Lord Shang, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. How long can you stay by my side? You still have to get married eventually."
Shang 뎃 smiled awkwardly. Doesn’t he understand this principle? Do they need to say more?
Isn't the reason why you haven't married yet that you want to marry a rich woman but can't?
Emperor Tianshun saw this and smiled: "My dear Shang, your daughter is very good in my opinion. Does she have a sweetheart? I can arrange a marriage for her."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wang hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, but I haven't found a son-in-law for her yet."
"What's the difficulty?" The emperor smiled and said, "There are so many good men in Tianshun, are you worried about not being able to pick a good one?"
Shang did not speak, but listened to the emperor continue to say: "Among my sons, is there anyone I like?"
hiss······
The officials below couldn't help but gasp.
Does the emperor mean to act as a matchmaker for the queen?
However, it seems that only the prince can match the prime minister's daughter.
Shang said hurriedly: "How can my unworthy daughter be worthy of the emperor?"
"The Prime Minister is my right-hand man, how can your daughter not be worthy of him? Didn't your concubine's daughter also marry into the Dingwang Palace?" The emperor smiled, but his smile was fierce, and his eyes turned to He Lingsheng: "Your Majesty, you are of marriageable age, but your family doesn't even have a concubine. How about I marry the Prime Minister's daughter to you?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Shang 뎃 with envy.
The Queen Consort!
This was the first concubine of the emperor, and the marriage was granted by the emperor himself, so her status was extraordinary.
If nothing goes wrong, the position of the crown prince's wife will be hers in the future.
When the crown prince ascends the throne, the crown princess will be the legitimate queen. If the prime minister's office produces a queen, then her status in the court will be unparalleled.
Shang Ruoyi was overjoyed. He never thought that the emperor would grant the princess a marriage. His heart, which had been hanging in the air just now, was finally at ease. When the emperor mentioned Shang Ruoyi, he thought the emperor was going to turn hostile again.
He Lingsheng heard this and hurriedly stood up. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the look in Emperor Tianshun's eyes and his heart sank.
It was obvious that his father meant that he had no choice but to comply.
He cupped his hands and whispered, "Thank you, father, for granting me this marriage. I am overjoyed." Having said that, there was not a trace of joy on his face.
Emperor Tianshun was extremely happy and said to the empress beside him: "Empress, what do you think of my arrangement?"
The queen raised her lips: "Your Majesty's arrangement is the most appropriate." She cast her eyes on He Lingsheng: "I have always felt that Sheng'er is too lonely. If he has a concubine to accompany him, I will feel relieved." She looked at He Lingqi again: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has a concubine, what about the old lady? Your Majesty should not favor one over the other."
"The Queen is right." He was about to speak when he heard Concubine Shu beside him say with a smile, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."
"how?"
"I have long wanted to find someone who can take care of him, but every time I mention this, he avoids me like a snake or scorpion. He even doesn't go to Yongfu Palace to pay his respects for half a month."
Emperor Tianshun looked at He Lingqi: "Why is this?"
"Father, I am still young and don't want to worry about matters between men and women."
Emperor Tianshun sighed and said, "I heard that Divine Doctor Jiang has a daughter who is very pretty and charming. I wanted to marry her to you."
When Doctor Jiang heard this, he was shocked. How could that be possible?
The person An'er wants to marry is the Queen Mother, not Prince Bao.
He has no official position, so he can only sit among the hundreds of officials in the main hall.
He clasped his hands and said, "I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of my daughter. However, I only have An'er as my daughter, so I can't bear to let her get married so early."
