Chapter 77 Complaint
In the royal study, after the emperor’s questioning, it was quiet for a while. Princess Wanning, who was standing aside, didn’t know how to respond to her imperial brother.
She didn't expect that the emperor's brother would be so resistant to her liking for Xu Guogong, but she still didn't give up in her heart.
She used to like Xu Guogong, but Xu Guogong already liked someone. Although no one had ever said who Xu Guogong liked, she had already guessed it.
It must be Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu was once engaged to Duke Xu, but her imperial brother also had a crush on Cui Xiu, so he took the lead and asked their father for a marriage. The father had high hopes for his brother, so it was natural for him to ask for it. It is omnipotent.
With the imperial edict granting marriage, Cui Xiu and Duke Xu were no longer possible. Now her imperial brother has been on the throne for six years, Cui Xiu is already a noble concubine, and Cui Xiu also gave birth to her imperial brother. A child.
Although she had received news earlier that Cui Xiu was suspected of cuckolding her royal brother, the child may not be her royal brother's child.
She must tell her brother the matter, which will make her brother feel uncomfortable.
Her royal brother has embraced the beautiful woman, and now she also wants to be with the person she loved in the past, but her royal brother is blocking her, which is really heart-breaking.
Since her royal brother was unkind, there were some things that had to be made clear.
“It’s my sister who didn’t think carefully, Wan Ning just wanted to share the worries of the emperor brother.”
“Now that Xu Guogong holds great power, he is a big threat to the emperor brother.”< br>
"Wan Ning just wants to break this threat for the emperor brother."
Princess Wan Ning said, looking at the emperor with earnest eyes, frowning slightly, as if it was true Think about the emperor in general.
The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Wan Ning. Seeing Wan Ning's expression, his anger calmed down a bit, his tone was a little cold, and he said: "I have my own discretion in matters in the court."
"You have your heart. I understand that you are worried about me.”
“But you are just a princess, there are many things that you don’t need to worry about.”
The emperor’s tone was calmer than before. , Princess Wanning is his biological sister after all, and she will never harm him no matter what.
If Princess Wanning were a man, he would not let Wanning go easily. Such a person is too ambitious and would only pose a greater threat to him than Duke Xu and those courtiers. Come bigger.
After Princess Wanning heard the emperor's warning, she lowered her eyes and did not answer the words, but acquiesced to the emperor's words.
Seeing that Wanning was silent, the emperor continued: "Now that you are back, I will certainly not treat you badly."
"I will choose a suitable husband for you. Son-in-law, you just need to prepare well for your marriage."
"In the future, it is important to have a loving relationship with your consort and have a son as soon as possible."
In the emperor's opinion, Princess Wanning should do the best. The main business of a woman is to get married and have children, just like an ordinary woman, raising her husband and children at home, and living a normal life.
Instead of participating in the government affairs, raising good friends, and making friends with officials in private, these are not things she should do as a princess.
It’s hard not to wonder if she wants to rebel.
When Princess Wanning heard the emperor's words, she nodded gently in response. To be honest, she didn't think that what her emperor said was right.
Why should he choose a suitable husband for her?
They think it’s appropriate, but she may not think it’s appropriate. If she doesn’t think it’s appropriate, then it’s inappropriate.
She didn't want to marry someone she didn't like and then live the life the emperor said. Such a life would be boring.
"Wan Ning has written down everything the emperor said." "Brother Huang, Wan Ning has one more thing to say to the emperor when he comes this time."
Wan Ning said, taking out a letter from her sleeve, which she had asked someone to prepare before.
When the emperor heard Wanning's words, he stopped moving, raised his eyes to look at Princess Wanning, and said, "What else is there?"
Wan Ning handed the letter to the desk. The emperor glanced at the letter and said nothing. He put down the memorial in his hand and picked up the letter.
"Brother Imperial, my sister has received a letter."
"The content of this letter shocked me so much that I specially submitted it to Brother Imperial for his review."
As Princess Wanning spoke, she looked at the emperor seriously and cautiously. When the emperor heard what Princess Wanning said, he opened the letter out of curiosity.
"Why would this shock you? I want to see it."
The emperor took out the letter, opened it, and held it in one hand. As his eyes moved away, his face became a little darker, and his eyebrows slowly knitted.
The emperor's hand holding the letter slowly tightened. After reading the contents of the letter, he paused for a moment, then put the letter close to the fireworks of the candlestick, and said with a sullen face: "This letter has nothing but You, who else has seen it?"
"No one else has seen it."
"Wan Ning knows that this matter is important, so he doesn't let anyone else see it." Princess Ning responded to the emperor's question.
The emperor heard Princess Wanning's response. His glazed eyes slowly opened. The letter was almost burned. He swallowed gently and paused for a long time.
"Don't make this matter public for the time being."
"I will send someone to verify whether there is such a thing."
When Princess Wanning heard the emperor's words, she nodded lightly in response, She knew that her royal brother's expression showed that he was uncomfortable. Seeing her royal brother in pain made her feel better.
Who told him to hold the beauty in his arms but not allow others to pursue true love? Now, this beauty is not a good thing.
There is a risk of being cheated! Deserve it!
Princess Wanning has many thoughts in her heart, but her face is full of worry, making it impossible to see anything wrong.
"Okay, you can go down." The emperor said, raising his hand to signal Princess Wanning, his expression was not very good, and it seemed that he needed time to digest.
After Princess Wanning left, the emperor immediately called the trustworthy eunuch in and asked him to find someone to investigate Cui Xiu.
After so many years, the emperor thought that Cui Xiu had already put aside those things of the past, but he did not expect that this Cui Xiu was really not an ordinary woman.
This Cui family, one or two, really gives him a headache!
The emperor thought that he hadn't been to Cui Xiu for a while, and he hadn't taken a good look at the fifth prince. He could go and have a look today to see what Cui Xiu was doing in the Chuxiu Palace every day. .
After a while, the emperor suddenly remembered the last time Cui Xiu contradicted him in the Imperial Garden, and she didn't even come to apologize to him. It was so lawless!
The emperor's idea of going to Chuxiu Palace has wavered. He really can't hold Cui Xiu anymore.
In the past, he felt that even if Cui Xiu was a little different, she was still a woman. Most women in the world were the same, and it would be fine if she got married.
But this Cui Xiu is different. After getting married, he is still the same as before being married.
After all these years, nothing has changed.
