Chapter 10: His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, a Love-Brained Man
Su Zhenzhen ignored her family's surprised looks, and Lu Wu went down early with a wink to get the sachet to reward the servants.
She thought about it, asked someone to bring a white porcelain bowl, and personally picked up a goose foot soaked in wine lees and a chopstick of forget-me-not (day lily) for Rong Jinchen.
She also served another bowl of sweet osmanthus wine and small glutinous rice balls and asked Gu Heng to put it in the food box.
At this time, Lu Wu came up with a tray.
She signaled to Lu Wu with her eyes and distributed sachets containing five taels of silver to two rows of servants.
She also took off a hairpin from her bun that was of the same value as the one she gave to Gu Cheng and gave it to Gu Heng.
Gu Heng's face immediately lit up with smiles. He saw Gu Heng taking the bracelet and handkerchief given by the future princess as a reward and going back to report today.
His Highness directly gave him silver notes worth three times the value.
I envy him so much.
It's not that he's short of this little money, it represents the position of the future princess and the former prince's most popular person!
He bowed happily, "Your servant thanks the future princess for the reward."
For the first time, the servants of the palace saw the most beautiful woman in the capital, who was said to be as beautiful as a fairy, and their future princess.
Her facial features are extremely beautiful, with a pair of eyebrows that seem to be frowned but not frowned, and her eyebrows are as clear as autumn water.
The peach blossom eyes are full of water, and the clear black pupils seem to be able to see into people's hearts, making the sight unforgettable.
The tall nose bridge is small and delicate, and the pink lips like petals are perfect in shape.
She has a lazy and unworldly temperament, stunning skin and bones, a slim and well-proportioned figure, and a fair and smooth face that is stunningly beautiful even without any makeup.
Wearing a moon-white everyday brocade flowing skirt, her lazy temperament makes her look as ethereal and independent as a fairy.
The most beautiful woman in the capital really lived up to her reputation.
No wonder His Highness, who is not interested in women, is obsessed with love.
This is what it means when a hero is tempted by a beautiful woman.
When they heard the palace's chief steward call Miss Su the future princess, they all followed suit and bowed.
"Your servant thanks the future princess."
They touched the sachets in their hands, which contained three months' worth of menstrual money. The future princess was indeed generous.
After Gu Cheng and others left, Su Zhenzhen, who was drinking golden blood swallow's nest, faced the gazes of her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. Her beautiful face turned red, and the heat surged to her white neck. She finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"You guys can laugh if you want, why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Yu said sourly, winking, "Sister, why am I so envious and jealous of my brother? I want to be a woman too!"
Su Qiyang's face turned dark. What nonsense was this silly son talking about?
The three little ones were concentrating on eating.
Ye Mingyan, Lin Murou and Gu Xiaoyue all admired the care of His Royal Highness Prince Yan.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
After Rong Jinchen asked Gu Heng to deliver the gift to Su Zhenzhen, he entered the palace.
Gu Cheng happily took the five hundred taels of silver note. He exchanged the bracelet given to him by the princess for a silver note worth twice as much.
His Highness is indeed a pervert. He actually uses a small box to store items related to the princess.
Tsk.
It's unbearable to watch.
Following His Highness into the palace, he was very happy all the way and felt that the air in the capital was really good.
He found the way to make a fortune.
Rong Jinchen met his second brother, the Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, on the road.
Rong Jinyou was wearing an apricot-yellow dragon robe, the crown prince's regular attire. He was twenty-seven years old this year.
He was tall and looked about 40% similar to Rong Jinchen. His gentle and handsome features smiled slightly when he saw Rong Jinchen.
"Ah Chen, why are you suddenly asking the Emperor for a marriage? Didn't you tell me a month ago that you didn't want to get married so early?"
Rong Jinchen is twenty years old this year, not yet of adult age, so naturally he has not taken a name.
He saw his second brother, the Crown Prince, whom he had not seen for many years. He was still as handsome as ever, his indifferent expression softened slightly, and his eyes were gently looking at the warm jade auspicious cloud jade pendant tied around his waist.
"I don't know where the love came from, brother. The moment I saw her, I even thought of a name for our child."
Rong Jinyou looked at his fourth brother with disgust. When did he become so literary?
He hadn't seen Achen for many years. He didn't expect that he would ask his father for marriage as soon as he returned to the palace. He finished his lunch in a hurry.
He ran to the residence of the Minister of Revenue Su Qiyang, and he was not available even when Su Qiyang wanted to invite him to reminisce about the past.
Is his Achen such a young boy?
Rong Jinchen walked half a step behind his second brother, the Crown Prince, and responded in a low voice from time to time.
After arriving at the Weiyang Palace, they bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live forever."
Rong Yue was wearing a black and gold dragon robe with dragon patterns, which made him look domineering and charming. He was about four to five percent similar to the Rong Jinchen brothers.
Rong Jinchen is 50% handsome like his father Rong Yue, and 50% beautiful like the late queen, so he is extremely handsome and is the best-looking child of Rong Yue.
Rong Yue is fifty years old this year, his hair is slightly gray, and his voice is still strong.
He looked at the two legitimate sons in front of him and stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, Crown Prince and Chen'er, please stand up."
"Chen'er, come here and let your father take a good look at you. You hurried into the palace at noon and before I could properly question you, you, this ungrateful boy, ran off to Lord Su's house."
The concubines in the harem and all the illegitimate sons gritted their teeth in secret, damn it.
Why is Your Majesty so kind to the King of Yan?
They watched the prince as if they were watching a good show, and saw how favored the Prince of Yan was.
He is the second legitimate son. Isn’t their crown prince really worried?
In the past two years, the emperor found that he was getting older and was gradually not as fit as he was when he was young.
He became more and more fond of young concubines and young children, and gradually began to value the eldest son, Prince Jin.
He intended to let him compete with the prince.
The emperor, who had been very close to the prince, gradually distanced himself from him, and the prince's situation became worse than before.
Compared to the close relationship between father and son before, the relationship between the emperor and the prince is now more like that of monarch and subject, and they can never go back to the past.
The emperor was growing older, but the prince was not yet thirty years old, and was in the prime of his life.
Isn't the purpose of the crown prince to replace him as the emperor?
But after all, due to the deep father-son love over the years and the fact that training the prince had consumed too much of his energy, he had never considered replacing the prince.
He just wanted to use the Prince of Jin to check and balance the power of the Crown Prince, to train the Crown Prince, and to act as a whetstone.
Rong Jinchen's expression softened as he replied, "Father, I am working hard for my own happiness. Don't you want to see me get married?"
Rong Yue is a man who loves his son the most and hates his son the most. Even if his son has no expression on his face, he can brainwash himself into thinking that this is because his son doesn't talk much.
Pretending to be profound.
He laughed heartily, "Then tomorrow I will bring Chen'er, the future princess, to the palace for my father to see. My son has very good taste."
Rong Jinchen bowed in response.
Everyone in the harem and the princes and princesses looked at the scene they had not seen for many years with a sour look on their faces.
Either the crown prince or the Prince of Yan.
So, Your Majesty, you only have the legitimate son born to the late Queen in your heart?
Too biased!
After taking his seat, Rong Yue looked at his beloved fourth prince Rong Jinchen, whose appearance combined the best features of both him and his wife.
Young and promising, he defeated the Huns in just five years at the border and forced them to cede territory and pay compensation, and the royal court was no longer there.
He recalled that this morning, the father and son met alone to reminisce about the past.
As soon as his son, whom he hadn't seen for many years, arrived in Weiyang Palace, he knelt down before he could even react.
It was like two bolts from the blue for him.
"Your Majesty, I fell in love with Su Zhenzhen, the daughter of Grand Secretary Su, at first sight. I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me marriage and make her my wife."
Rong Yue:???
"Father, I would like to ask you to issue an imperial decree, allowing my son and her to be together for the rest of our lives."
