Chapter 283: Granted Marriage, I Thank My Father for His Grace
The greatest emperor of Northern Liang was of course the founding emperor Gaozu. He was the one who conquered the country. Which of his descendants dares to say that he is better than Gaozu?
King Jing dared to boast, but Emperor Ming certainly didn't dare to acknowledge it.
If he dares to admit it, won’t his ancestor beat him to death when he meets him a hundred years later?
Emperor Ming glanced at Beigong Yu who was waiting to be praised, and felt angry and wanted to block his mouth.
He is just trying to attract attention all day long and does not know what he is doing.
They are also his son, so what’s in Beigong Yu’s head?
If people are stupid, they should shut up and read more books instead of embarrassing themselves here. He was so angry that he couldn't even pretend to be affectionate anymore.
Emperor Ming tried hard to comfort himself and that's why he didn't slap himself in the face.
"King Jing is thoughtful, but the matter of the ancestral temple is of great importance. Let's put it aside for now and talk about it later."
Beigong Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Father, this gift from your son... don't you like it?"
Shouldn't the Emperor be very happy?
Why do you look like you want to beat him up? This shouldn't be the case!
"I know you are filial."
Emperor Ming almost couldn't bear to look at him, but he had to pretend, "I am very pleased to see you brothers working together at the birthday banquet today. I see that Prince Shu and Prince Ning both have their princesses to accompany them. You are already an adult, and you should have someone who understands you."
Beigong Yu's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face.
He knew that his father cared about him the most.
It turned out that the establishment of the ancestral temple was not a mistake.
Beigong Yu couldn't hide his joy, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Lu Yun'an who was sitting among the female relatives.
When Lu Yun'an, who had been invisible throughout the banquet, noticed his gaze, his face turned pale and he clenched his palms.
She deliberately tried to lower her presence, but she still ended up being targeted.
Lin Miaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Beigong Yu's gaze on Lu Yun'an.
Beigong Yu really dares to think so.
Although she had not had much contact with Lu Yun'an, she could tell from the previous incident of distributing porridge and medicine that Lu Yun'an seemed cold but was actually soft-hearted. She was born noble but never relied on her status. She was a girl with her own opinions and ideas.
Definitely not a fish in the pond!
How can they be a match for Beigong Yu, that idiot?
But he hinted so obviously, he wanted to tell everyone that the person he loved was Lu Yun'an, and Emperor Ming doted on him so much on the surface, would he agree?
Emperor Ming on the seat also looked at Lu Yun'an.
Princess Yun'an Lu Yun'an?
He didn't have much impression of this niece. He only remembered that she had a strong personality. Five years ago, she was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by Beigong Yao, so she turned around and went to Qingyun Mountain.
He hadn't seen her for years.
In his memory, she was still as childish as she was back then, but he didn't expect that she has grown into such a bright and elegant woman now.
The woman is Xiao Fu, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the Duke of Ying. She has some heroic spirit that is rare in women, but more of it is as cold and pure as an ancient pond, with a sense of being out of touch with the world.
If he remembered correctly, she was already eighteen years old.
This age is not young for a woman waiting to get married. No wonder the eldest princess went to King Jing for help in desperation.
Thinking of this, he remembered an old event.
It's about Lu Yun'an and the third King of Wei.
She grew up with the King of Wei and they were childhood sweethearts. In fact, the King of Wei, the King of Ning and the King of An were all the same age, but he didn't know why she chose the King of Wei as her childhood sweetheart. It was probably because she had poor eyesight.
I once heard the palace ladies gossip that if the King of Wei had not gone to Dayan, she would have been the King of Wei's Consort long ago.
As for King Jing...
I heard that Lu Yun'an had only been back from Qingyun Mountain for half a year. Apart from the time when he gave out free porridge, he had not left the house and had basically had no contact with anyone. Beigong Yu was thoughtful.
Beigong Yu knew that his hint was obvious enough. After not seeing Emperor Ming's reaction for a long time, he could not hold back any longer, "Father, your son..."
"In my opinion, Prime Minister Lin's daughter is not bad."
Emperor Ming interrupted Beigong Yu and looked at Lin Ruhui. "In the case of the smallpox epidemic, Prime Minister Lin was concerned about the country and the people, and he worked hard everywhere. Princess Ning also made a lot of efforts. The second daughter of the Lin family is also kind and gentle, virtuous and generous. She should be made the concubine of King Jing."
As soon as Emperor Ming finished speaking, Lu Yun'an's clenched hands suddenly loosened and his expression relaxed.
Fortunately, the emperor did not marry her to Prince Jing, otherwise she would have committed suicide in disobedience.
As if she had thought of something, her cold eyes showed a hint of tenderness.
It’s almost time, the person she is waiting for will be back soon.
When Beigong Yu heard that Emperor Ming had given Lin Qingxue to him as a concubine, his face turned pale.
Are you kidding?
Is Lin Qingxue kind and gentle? Gentle and honest? Virtuous and generous?
Which word relates to her?
Is the emperor drunk? Why would he choose Lin Qingxue, a fool, as his concubine?
What he wants is Lu Yun'an.
Beigong Yu suddenly became anxious, "Father, your son..."
"What?" Emperor Ming restrained his expression, and the majesty of the king emanated instantly, "Prince Jing has any objection to what I said?"
The emperor's majesty made Beigong Yu's heart tremble. His father doted on him too much tonight, and he was so proud of himself that he even forgot that the emperor came first as a subject and then as a father and son. He could not question his father's authority.
He knelt down hurriedly to plead guilty, "I did not mean that."
He said this, but he really didn't want to marry Lin Qingxue. If Lin Qingxue hadn't drugged him last time, he would have gritted his teeth and married Lin Qingxue, and he could also win over the Lin family.
But ever since that incident, whenever he saw Lin Qingxue, he felt a dull pain in the crack of his buttocks. He didn't want to give her to him, let alone as a concubine.
Beigong Yu looked at Concubine Chen for help, hoping that his mother could help him persuade his father not to give Lin Qingxue to him.
Concubine Chen understood Beigong Yu's request for help.
At this moment, she was too happy to even ask Emperor Ming to revoke his order.
I originally thought that Yu'er and Qingxue had no chance and missed out on the help of the Lin family, but I didn't expect that the emperor would actually grant them a marriage.
This is such a huge surprise.
The emperor really has them and their son in his heart. Prime Minister Lin's daughter can only be a concubine, so wouldn't the main wife's family status be higher?
It would be best if she is the daughter of a military general. With one being a scholar and the other a warrior, Yu'er's position will be secure!
Concubine Chen's mind was clacking with calculations, and a smile was about to overflow from the corners of her eyes.
She gave Beigong Yu a soothing look.
She is just a concubine. If you really don't like her, you can take her home as a decoration. When you become the crown prince in the future, you can have any woman you want. You can't anger your father now.
Mother and son are connected by heart, and Beigong Yu understood what Concubine Chen meant.
However, knowing and accepting are two different things.
In just two breaths, the desire for power overcame the insignificant liking.
Beigong Yu took a deep breath and accepted the marriage proposal, "Thank you, father, for your grace."
Everyone stood up to congratulate, "Congratulations to King Jing, congratulations to Prime Minister Lin."
Beigong Yu forced a smile to accept everyone's congratulations, but secretly his teeth were almost broken.
Lin Ruhui and Lin Miaoyin also had complicated feelings.
The father and daughter looked at each other, feeling heavy in their hearts. They didn't expect that they would be related to King Jing in the end.
The only happy person present was Lin Qingxue.
