Chapter 208 Your Majesty, Let’s Forget About This Marriage
Marquis Wu'an and the Crown Prince looked at each other, then turned their heads away with smiles, full of anticipation.
However, the next moment, the two saw Jiujiu riding Mengmeng, standing behind them, very close to them.
Jiujiu is cute and charming.
But they didn't have time to watch.
Because, the Mengmeng that Jiujiu was riding on opened its bloody mouth towards Marquis Wu'an and the Crown Prince, and a fishy smell hit the two of them directly on their heads.
Emperor Zhaoning was prepared and hid away.
Marquis Wu'an and the Crown Prince were not only shocked by the stench, but also frightened.
But Marquis Wu'an had seen many storms and had some composure. Apart from clenching his fists and being extremely alert, he did not behave inappropriately.
The prince is different.
The Crown Prince is the late-born son of Marquis Wu'an and his only son. He has been doted on and pampered since childhood, but he cannot stand this kind of thing.
He was so scared that he turned around and ran away without caring about anything, screaming "Ahhhhh".
How come there is such a big tiger in the palace? And the little princess is riding on a tiger?
Are you trying to kill yourself?
Or do you want his life?
Marquis Wu'an sighed and ordered people to look for the prince and make sure he didn't get lost.
He suppressed his vigilance and said, "Your Majesty, I am rude. Please don't blame me."
"No wonder." Emperor Zhaoning said, "It's just that no one else is afraid of my great tiger, Jiujiu, except your son."
This is clearly a hint at the prince's weakness. As the prince of Marquis Wu'an, his father is a hero with a great reputation, but he has no courage and is cowardly and timid.
Marquis Wu'an felt unhappy, but he couldn't say anything.
Because it's true.
Jiujiu patted the big tiger's neck and said, "Jiujiu's Mengmeng is so well-behaved. She sleeps with Jiujiu every day and never disturbs Jiujiu or makes a fuss about her."
"None of us in the palace is afraid of it."
Sleep together every day?
Marquis Wu'an coughed twice and looked in the direction his son left.
His son is afraid of even a mouse, let alone a big tiger.
If he really got engaged to the princess as a child and then married her in the future, and the princess let the tiger sleep with her every day, and they, as subjects, could not refuse, wouldn't this force his son to death?
Marquis Wu'an suddenly felt a little conflicted.
Should this child marriage be arranged?
Jiujiu continued, "Jiujiu has several pets, such as Dahuang and Duhuahua, and they all sleep together."
"Sleeping together?"
Marquis Wu'an looked at Du Huahua in Jiujiu's arms and the dog following behind her in confusion.
Oh my God, what kind of fetish is this princess?
Keeping so many ferocious pets?
Still sleeping together?
I'm afraid that other animals will join in the future.
If his son married the princess, he would be frightened to death.
Marquis Wu'an was shaken.
But this hesitation was not enough to make him give up this marriage on his own initiative.
What he was thinking about was how to cultivate his son's masculinity, so that he would not be afraid of these things and work hard to overcome the fear in his heart.
Jiujiu used her trump card to completely stop Marquis Wu'an from thinking of letting his son marry her in the future.
"Why, can't you? Or is the prince afraid of these things?"
"Jiujiu is not afraid even if she is a little girl."
"No, no, no, you are wrong. Jiujiu is not a little girl, Jiujiu is a little prince!"
"Jiujiu is a man dressed as a woman, hehehe."
Jiujiu said, covering her mouth and laughing.
She has a cheerful laugh and looks cute and pretty.
However, Marquis Wu'an felt that the last straw had broken the camel's back, making his already wavering heart completely confused.
A man dressed as a woman?
On the way back to Beijing, he had heard rumors that the little princess was dressed as a woman, but he thought they were just rumors and should not be taken seriously.
Since the emperor has canonized the princess and given her a title and recorded her in the royal jade disc, then the little princess is the little princess and there can be no falsehood.
No one in the palace seemed to have any objection.
How could it be fake?
But now the little princess said with her own mouth that she was not a little princess, but a little prince dressed as a woman.
Marquis Wu'an felt as if struck by lightning. He looked at Jiujiu and then at Emperor Zhaoning.
He felt as if he had touched upon the secrets and taboos of the royal family that could not be discussed at the table, and his heart was in turmoil. It was also as if he had been forcibly dragged onto a pirate ship that he did not want to board.
He was somewhat unable to extricate himself, and it was not easy for him to extricate himself.
Emperor Zhaoning saw through Marquis Wu'an's thoughts, and he immediately said, "Marquis Wu'an, don't listen to Jiujiu's nonsense."
"Jiujiu is actually on the royal jade disc, so she is the little princess, a true little princess, there is no doubt about it."
If Emperor Zhaoning had not said this, Marquis Wu'an would not have questioned it.
After Emperor Zhaoning said that, Marquis Wu'an began to question it, and even couldn't help speculating, could it be that the princess's identity was made wrong from the beginning, and then she was given the title of princess and was placed on the Emperor's Jade Butterfly, an announcement to the world, and now that the matter was done, it was not easy to change the order overnight, so they just went with the mistake?
The princess is actually a prince.
Are the rumors outside true?
Nothing happens out of thin air!
Marquis Wu'an was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhaoning curled his lips in a sinister way, and struck while the iron was hot, saying, "Marquis Wu'an, you must not change your idea of having the prince and the princess get married because of this."
"When the two children grow up, we will arrange marriages for them."
"I will not disobey the late emperor's promise. However, I want to keep my daughter by my side for a few years, a few more years, and I don't want to discuss a marriage that will cause me to lose her. I hope you can understand."
What kind of consideration do you give me?
The princess must not be a princess. If she cannot give birth when she grows up, his son will definitely not marry her.
He can't cut off his lineage for the sake of his family's glory!
"Grandpa Wu'an Hou, my father is right. Jiujiu will marry your son in the future."
"Jiujiu will listen to father!"
Jiujiu looks innocent and naive.
Marquis Wu'an became more alert. It seemed strange that Emperor Zhaoning was taking the initiative to show goodwill and the princess was also following suit.
And the weird thing is that the princess is not a real princess.
He broke out in a cold sweat, clenched his fists, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, let's just forget about this marriage!"
"Since the emperor wants to keep the princess for a few more years and does not want to mention the matter of arranging a marriage for the princess, forget it! This old minister has no objection."
"Old ministers don't force themselves, and a forced melon is not sweet."
"It is my long-cherished wish to see my son get engaged before I die. It doesn't have to be a princess, it can be someone else."
"You can find a girl who is about the same age as Xiao Er."
After Marquis Wu'an had finished speaking, he made the excuse that an old illness he had sustained on the battlefield had flared up and he felt extremely uncomfortable, so he needed to rush home to take medicine, and he left in a hurry.
He walked very fast, as if if he was a step slower, he would be caught and forced by Emperor Zhaoning to accept the marriage.
Emperor Zhaoning tried to persuade him to stay, his voice full of reluctance: "My dear, please don't leave! Can we discuss this matter again?"
"You're coming back, are you?"

The other side.
After the Marquis of Wu'an ran away, he met Dijiang by the Imperial Lake.
