Chapter 1040 Speechless
After returning to Prince Anjun's Mansion and entering Yuqiong Garden, Xia Zihan sent away the maids around him, then closed the door, glared at Chu Jingqi, and asked, "Tell me, did you know about the Emperor's thoughts before?"
"Daughter-in-law, I am wronged. How can I know who the emperor wants to marry as his wife? I am not a little roundworm in the emperor's belly." Chu Jingqi looked innocent and aggrieved, as if she really didn't know before.
Xia Zihan spat on the ground, "Bah... If you want to do it, you need the emperor's consent."
"Humph, he agreed, but I'm not willing to do it yet."
"Okay, you are tyrannical and cold-blooded, so let me ask you, has the emperor never shown anything before?"
Xia Zihan was too lazy to talk to him and continued to ask.
Chu Jingqi shook his head, he really didn't know.
You know, he stopped Ayu from visiting the Chu family.
However, he could guess a little bit about the emperor's intention of marrying Chu Cong.
There is no doubt that the emperor cares about Ayu, but Ayu is his wife. The emperor cannot move, so he can only settle for the next best thing and marry a maid next to Ayu.
In this way, he and Ayu were involved in a relationship.
In the future, when the emperor gets along with Chu Cong, he can also learn more about Ayu from Chu Cong's mouth, and he can also rely on the affection between Chu Cong and Ayu to deepen his relationship with Ayu.
The emperor's thoughts were hidden deeply, but he and the emperor had grown up together, and they knew each other very well. The emperor could hide it from others, but not from him.
Although the emperor likes his Ayu and wants to get closer to Ayu, which makes him very disgusted and dislikes it, but...after all, the emperor did not really come to snatch his Ayu, he just wanted to marry a maid beside Ayu. That's all, if he can't tolerate even this, then he is not worthy of being the emperor's brother.
As for Ayu, he believed in Ayu and that the emperor would not betray him.
"Ayu, regarding the matter between the Emperor and Chu Cong, you should try to persuade Chu Cong more and let her obey the Emperor. Otherwise, according to the Emperor's temperament, once he issues the decree and Chu Cong enters the palace, the Emperor will also have something hidden in his heart. Root Thorn.”
The majestic king of a country actually has to issue an imperial edict to marry a woman. Where will the emperor's face go from now on?
"Yes, I will." Xia Zihan said.
After dinner, Xia Zihan invited Chu Cong to the flower hall. The master and servant talked for more than an hour, and they didn't know how Xia Zihan persuaded her. In short, Chu Cong nodded.
Early the next morning, Chu Jingqi hurriedly entered the palace and told the emperor the news. The emperor immediately invited the second prince to discuss the matter.
"What did you say?" The second prince was shocked and couldn't believe it. "You said you wanted to marry a little maid to be the queen?"
Seeing the emperor nodding, the second prince was sure that he heard correctly.
His face changed greatly, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. How can a little maid be the mother of a country? Your Majesty, please think again."
"Second uncle, I have already thought about this matter." The emperor said with a faint smile, "You all advise me to marry a noble girl as my queen, but there are not many noble girls in my harem, but look at it , don’t those noble ladies spend all day thinking about how to support their husbands and raise their children, and how to take care of their husbands? Jun, but I spend my whole day thinking about how to plot against others, how to be superior to others, how to win favors, as long as I can suppress others, I will not hesitate to lose 800 yuan to myself. Aqi, second uncle, you think, such a noble girl , can you really be a good queen?”
The second prince was speechless.
Because everything the emperor said is true.
A group of women in the harem do not have to educate children or take care of the emperor. They have nothing to do but eat and think about how to harm others.
How can such a person shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the mother of a country? Of course not.
The second prince thought of Chu Cong.
Chu Cong lived in the Second Prince's Mansion for a while and taught Princess Qinghui martial arts. The Second Prince knew Chu Cong fairly well and knew that she was a woman who was not too busy, kept her own rules, and was gentle.
Also, Chu Cong knew martial arts and was very powerful. Even the women in the harem combined could not defeat Chu Cong with one hand.
Chu Cong was not only highly skilled in martial arts, good-tempered, but also beautiful. At first, his princess liked Chu Cong very much and even thought of marrying Chu Cong to her son as his aunt.
However, Chu Cong did not agree.
She said she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine.
That girl's temperament is the same as Chu Yu's. They both act decisively and neatly, and are firm yet gentle. It's just a pity that her status is a little lower.
The second prince thought so and brought it up.
The emperor smiled and said, "Aqi will recognize her as her adopted sister. It just so happens that King An regrets that Princess An did not give him a daughter. No, I have pointed out a daughter to him, which is exactly what he wants. I believe An The prince will not refuse.”
"It's strange that the old fox would reject the mother of a country as her adopted daughter." The second prince said with envy and hatred.
Chu Jingqi raised her eyebrows, then quickly lowered her eyes and said, "Since the emperor has made a decision, I will go back and make preparations now."
He hasn’t mentioned it to his parents about recognizing Chu Cang as his adopted sister, and he doesn’t know if his parents will agree...
Chu Jingqi returned home with a lot of worries. As soon as she entered the house, she went directly to Chu Xuanyu's study and told Gan Song, "Invite the princess to the prince's study and say that I have something important to say."
Gan Song bent down and said yes.
In fact, even if Chu Jingqi didn't say anything, Chu Xuanyu and Zhuo had already heard about it.
This matter spread throughout the streets early in the morning. Now, almost everyone in the capital knows that the emperor refused to choose a noble girl to enter the palace as his queen. Instead, he chose a little maid next to Princess Chu Yu to enter the palace as his queen.
This made the common people envious of Chu Chong. They all said that Chu Cong took off his common clothes and put on gold clothes. The slave turned over and sang and became a queen overnight.
After Mrs. Liao learned this information, she hurried to Anjun Prince's Mansion at noon the next day to ask Zhuo whether this matter was true or false.
After learning that this was true, Mrs. Liao went to Yuqiongyuan and asked to see Chu Cang. Then she kept praising, "She is so beautiful, as if she were a fairy descending to earth. No wonder she was admired by the emperor." Among them, there is also such a temperament, oh, what kind of master he is, what kind of maid he has raised, look at this temperament, it is exactly the same as Chu Yu. "
Chu Cang, who always spoke calmly and calmly, looked shy, but didn't know how to deal with it.
It wasn't until Mrs. Xia Er got the news and hurried over to interrupt her that Chu Cang felt as if he had just come out of the battlefield.
"Chu Cong is so lucky. With his face, you can tell he is a rich and noble man." Mrs. Xia Er just sat down and started to praise her.
Xia Zihan stroked his forehead and said darkly, "Mom, we are all members of our own family, so let's forget about the false talk. Chu Cong will be my adopted sister tomorrow. Oh, no, she is my sister-in-law. Tomorrow Anjun Prince's Mansion I will announce to the outside world that I will accept Chu Cong as my goddaughter.”
