Don't be crazy, don't wear fast

Chapter 257 Your Royal Highness, please ascend the throne! (22)
Her Majesty's meaning was quickly conveyed to the prime minister by His Majesty the Emperor.

Hearing that the princess not only didn't want to terminate the engagement, but even wanted to get married as soon as possible in order to repay her kindness, Prime Minister Nalan stood there for a long time before he barely realized that he hadn't hallucinated.

In fact, Si Yin didn't mention the matter of getting married as soon as possible. The emperor deliberately added such a sentence when conveying it, mainly because he wanted to completely win over the prime minister.

In his mind, since he has to pay the price of a princess, he must maximize the benefits.

In the past, he chose Nalantu, who met his requirements in all aspects, as a marriage gift to her in order to silence the people in the world and make everyone believe that his favorite was his little Princess Youlan.

But now things have gone awry.

The previous situation was that the princess was unwilling to marry into the Nalan family, and Prime Minister Nalan was also unwilling to have a princess as his daughter-in-law.

After all, no one wants to have a daughter-in-law who can step on her head, has a higher status than herself, and will be the first to salute every time she meets.

But now the situation has changed dramatically, that is, Nalantu is unconscious.

Don't say that he was injured to save the princess.

For everyone, being able to exchange their own lives for the safety of the royal family is their glory, and it is their feat worthy of special mention.

If a person is injured but not dead, it can only be said that he is too stupid.

Otherwise, why did he fall unconscious after being hit by an arrow?

And why was he shot by the arrow when everyone else was fine?
In the past, even if Nalantu did not have a marriage contract bestowed by the emperor, he could still find a good enough marriage partner.

Such a comatose Nalantu is completely a useless pawn.

The prime minister may be able to use his power or wealth to find a woman who is willing to marry to guard his son, but he may not be able to find too good a candidate.

How could people of the same status be willing to use a daughter who was good enough to marry a living dead lying unconscious on the bed?
Or the prime minister can only find those small families who want to curry favor with him through marriage.

Or he can only spend silver taels to buy a woman who can take care of his son.

However, no matter which choice he chooses, it will be a great blow to Prime Minister Nalan, because it will mean that his son can only be matched with a woman of that level.

His rivals in the court, and even Xiao Ming, a marketer, would use this incident to laugh at him.

That is probably a very big blow to the prime minister.

But if the princess does not dissolve the marriage contract, but is willing to fulfill the marriage contract, it is another situation.

Not only would everyone not ridicule him, but they would also be jealous of his good luck, envious that a son who looked like a living dead could pick the brightest pearl of Dayou Kingdom.

In the eyes of adults, maybe a princess is just a princess after all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prop.

But what she represents is the closer connection between His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister.

And that's what everyone wants to achieve.

"Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

The prime minister still couldn't believe his ears.

In his mind, the emperor had always said that the princess was his favorite daughter, and since she was the most beloved, it was impossible for him to watch her marry his comatose son.

Unless he doesn't want this setting anymore, if the news gets out, anyone will be amused by the so-called "favor".

But the emperor also said that the fact that he was unwilling to terminate the engagement was said by the princess herself, which made it harder for him to believe it.

He knew exactly how much the princess rejected this marriage before, and how she repeatedly embarrassed her son in the outside world.

All of a sudden, it was said that the princess was not only unwilling to dissolve the engagement, but wanted to advance the engagement...

This made the prime minister hesitate a bit, always feeling that there might be a deeper meaning that he didn't know about.

His Majesty the Emperor let out a sigh.

"Aiqing told me before that she wanted to break off the engagement, and I told Youlan about it after I returned to the palace. But my daughter said that Nalantu went through this difficulty to save her. She thought it would be hard to find someone who was so affectionate to her. man, so I don’t want to break off the engagement, and I’m willing to wait for him to wake up.”

The prime minister's mouth twitched invisibly.

Affectionate or something, he felt that His Majesty might have misunderstood something.

At least Prime Minister Nalan himself did not believe that his son would have the guts to block arrows because of his so-called affection.

Can he not know what kind of character his son is?
When he was young, he was quite obedient and knew how to hide his strength and bide his time, but since the emperor gave him the marriage, I don't know which dark point he opened up, so he became agitated.

He also made a lot of little tricks secretly, obviously with ambitions that he shouldn't have.

Prime Minister Nalan absolutely refused to believe that he would help the princess block the arrow for such a ridiculous reason as "affectionate".

However, the emperor has spoken to such an extent, and obviously he, a courtier, can't refute it.

At the moment, he can only pretend to be ecstatic and express his gratitude to the emperor.

Can you not be ecstatic?
This is equivalent to a useless son gaining a noble daughter-in-law for nothing.

Of course, if it is spread outside, this marriage will also attract countless discussions.

It is said that he has such a thick skin that he dares to cling to the most beloved princess with a son who is like a living dead.

But even so, even if he is scolded by thousands of people, for the sake of his son, he will accept this kind of marriage.

Because he couldn't see his son become a joke of others no matter what!

He wanted others to know that even if Nalantu never regained consciousness, he would still marry a noble princess and become a consort of the same noble status, instead of a pebble falling into the mud!
Even if he is ridiculed or cursed, he has to be selfish for a while, so that his son can live under the eyes of jealousy!

Prime Minister Nalan thought farther.

Life is impermanent, and he is not sure how long he will live.

When I was alive, I could take care of my son's food and clothing, but if one day he passed away earlier than Nalantu, who would take care of him as much as I did?
Marrying the princess is different, even if the princess is only grateful to Nalantu, or as a tool to please the emperor, she will not be too harsh on him.

As long as he can be well taken care of while in a coma, Prime Minister Nalan is satisfied.

Seeing that he had agreed, His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied and talked with him about the day of the princess's wedding.

However, before they had discussed the result, someone over there had already passed the news to the Queen's ears.

Hearing that the emperor discussed the date of the wedding with the prime minister without discussing it with himself, the queen's eyes darkened and she almost fainted.
