Chapter 390 391: Marriage Grant

  Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Chengde in astonishment, and was so angry that her intestines were about to knot. She changed her mind so quickly, what is your position, Your Majesty?

  Today, except for the third prince and the third concubine who were grounded, and the second concubine who had a miscarriage and recuperated and did not enter the palace, the rest of the princes and princesses were sitting at the banquet.

  Holding the wine glass, Chu Chengli couldn't help but tighten his fingers, and his dark eyes glanced at Chu Jinyan inadvertently, suppressing the jealousy that was rolling in his heart.

Ah…

  Can father be more eccentric?

  Chu Jinyan only mentioned one thing, but the emperor immediately agreed.

  Concubine Yi happily got up to thank the emperor: "On behalf of the Third Highness, I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

  Emperor Chengde raised his hand: "Excuse me, I will go to the Chen family to proclaim the decree tomorrow, and let the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian prepare for the next appointment."

   As he spoke, he said to Empress Song again: "The wedding of Lao Qi and the second girl of the Su family is also approaching, so you should take the trouble to arrange it for him."

  The marriage between the Seventh Prince and Su Yunwan was decided a long time ago. His biological mother died of illness a few years ago, so there is no concubine in the harem who would be sincere for him.

  Empress Song made a salute: "As his concubine, I will do my best to handle this matter well, the emperor can rest assured."

  Even if the emperor didn't take care of her, she couldn't have wronged the seventh prince.

  The seventh prince bowed his hands gratefully to Empress Song and said: "My son, I thank my mother, I have a mother."

  After the palace banquet, Concubine Shu and Chu Chengli walked side by side, and the palace people followed behind them from a distance.

   "Did you see it?" Concubine Shu stared straight ahead and said something without beginning or end.

  Chu Chengli's face was tense, and he nodded lightly: "The third child and the eighth child have teamed up."

  If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for Chu Jinyan to speak for Chu Qingyun and let him marry Chen Rujin so smoothly.

"I really underestimated the queen. Although the Chen family and the Song family are far away, they are related. Chen Rujin married the third child, and the Chen family will stand in the third child's Chen camp from now on. It is impossible It was Chu Jinyan who helped the third child fight for the crown prince."

   In other words, Empress Song decided to support Lao Ba instead of grasping at both ends.

  The Song family, which has always been neutral, can't help but plunge into the troubled water of seizing the heir?

   With the favor of the emperor, the support of the queen, and being the son of the first wife, it is really tricky.

  The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more her heart suffocated.

"Father hid it so well, who would have thought that Empress Yao's son is still alive." If he knew that there was such a threat, he would have ended the disaster long ago, and he would not be brought back to the capital by his father to be with him. He is right.

   Concubine Shu gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Chu Jinyan's favor from your father is just a shortcut. I really thought it was so easy to take the position of prince. As long as the court ministers disagree, the emperor would not dare to make him the prince." Because of this, Chu Jinyan He is still only a prince.

  If the crown prince was really so easy to establish, the emperor would have established him long ago when he returned to Beijing.

  Chu Chengli nodded approvingly: "With the support of the Liu family, the power of my servant in the capital should not be underestimated. Chu Jinyan is still far from being able to compete with me."

   This is true.

  But no matter how much power there is, it can't compare to the favor of the emperor.

  That is the key factor that can most affect Lishu.

  Because he didn't have any, he had to pay a greater hardship and price than Chu Jinyan.

   "You have always been close to Lao Wu, but he is the adopted son of a virtuous concubine, so he may not be willing to fall behind you. Instead of bothering Lao Wu, he might win Lao Qi." Concubine Shu said.

  Chu Chengli looked down on the Seventh Prince a bit: "Seventh Brother's maternal ancestral family is mediocre, and he himself is mediocre. It's not a waste of energy for my minister to win him over."

  Concubine Shu turned her head, looked at her son tenderly, and said, "It doesn't matter if he can't afford it, as long as the Su family can use it."

  Su family...

  Chu Chengli frowned.

  Compared to the Chen family, the Su family is very ordinary.

   "I know the concubine mother." Chu Chengli replied.

   After all, he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and being able to use it for his own use is also a great help to him.

  Arriving in front of the Jingyun Gate at the junction of the harem and the former dynasty, Chu Chengli stopped: "It's getting late, mother and concubine should rest early, and my son and minister will leave."

  Concubine Shu nodded: "Go."

  Chu Chengli bowed to Concubine Shu, and then strode away.

  The next day, Hu Qian went to the Chen family with the imperial decree of marriage from Emperor Chengde. Chen Hanlin led the whole family to kneel in the front yard to receive the decree.

  The little **** who kidnapped his daughter.

   "I thank the emperor Long En, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Chen Hanlin kowtowed to thank him.

  Hu Qian helped Chen Hanlin up with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Chen."

  Chen Hanlin nodded with a smile: "We are happy together, Eunuch Hu is tired, please sit down in the hall."

   "No, the slave has to go back to the palace to serve the emperor. The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Rites to make preparations, and he will officially come to hire after the auspicious day is calculated by Qin Tianjian." Hu Qian said.

   "The emperor's kindness is great, and I am grateful." Chen Hanlin said with a face full of emotion.

   Mrs. Chen winked at the butler, and the butler immediately walked up to Hu Qian with a smile, and stuffed a heavy purse into his sleeve calmly: "Eunuch Hu, I will send you off."

  Hu Qian put away his purse without being surprised, and said to Chen Hanlin: "Master Chen, stay here, and this slave will leave."

   Waiting for the palace people to leave, Chen Hanlin turned his head and looked at Chen Rujin with a sad face: "Alas..." The cabbage that was so hard to raise was just like that being pushed by a pig.

   These words were outrageous, Chen Hanlin only dared to say them in his heart.

  Chen Rujin secretly stuck out her tongue, and silently hid behind her mother.

   Mrs. Chen laughed angrily at her appearance: "Now I know that I have a guilty conscience, how courageous was it when I negotiated with the third prince."

   "Mother, I'm filial, I can't bear my father being angry with me."

   "You still know that your father is angry, go back to your yard and stay there." Mrs. Chen said angrily.

  After hearing this, Chen Rujin hurriedly dragged the concubine fifth sister away.

  In the past few days, her father saw that she and her elder brother both had noses, not noses, and eyes, and after this decree, she felt more clearly the lingering resentment around her father.

  Chen Shuyang touched his nose and said, "Father, mother, I'm going to the Imperial Academy."

   Then ran away too.

   Mrs. Chen waved to her second son.

  After the children had left, she walked towards Chen Hanlin with a broken smile: "Master, it's been a few days, and you still haven't accepted it?"

   "Ma'am, the son-in-law in my mind is one who is highly talented, full of knowledge, well-educated, and gentle." He is by no means the kind of slutty, lingering in the flowers, messing with flowers and grass. Mrs. Chen looked at him speechlessly: "Are you picking a son-in-law, or picking the champion."

   "It doesn't matter." His future son-in-law must be the number one scholar.

   "..."

Mrs. Chen couldn't bear to pierce his heart: "Master, it's really not your turn to choose the champion. Don't dream, the third prince likes Jin'er, which means he has a good eye, and you don't know what your daughter's virtue is?" ?”
