Chapter 1133 What is the purpose?
“In fact, this is not a secret.”

At that time, all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial study did not leave, so everyone heard it clearly.

Eunuch Han still glanced around and whispered, "Princess Man of Beiqi came to the imperial study this morning. The fifth princess was also in the imperial study at that time, and was talking to the emperor about the marriage. After Princess Man arrived, she said directly that she liked His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Funing.

Yan Funing smiled lightly: "You can say whatever you want, sir."

Han Gong then continued, "The Fifth Princess said that His Highness and the Princess had a deep relationship and asked Princess Man to choose another prince, but Princess Man said that she only had eyes for Prince Rui. At that time, the Emperor did not officially issue an order, but only said that Princess Man's status was such that it would be unfair for her to be a concubine, and that she could be considered to be a co-wife."

At this point, a young eunuch came to ask: "Master, have you found what the emperor wants?"

"I found it, I'll send it over right away." Eunuch Han took out a brocade box from the imperial study and asked Fu Ciyi with a smile, "Do your Highness and the Princess want to go to the Emperor?"

Fu Ciyi said calmly: "We'll go over later, please do as you please, eunuch."

"Well, I'll go ahead."

Eunuch Han brought the young eunuch to speed up the pace.

After they walked away, Yan Funing smiled softly, "That is to say, if my husband agrees, and Gongsun Man agrees, then His Royal Highness Prince Rui will have a second wife. And this second wife is of noble birth, so she will definitely not be content with the status of a second wife. There will be a lot of jealousy in the palace."

It was rare for her to say this in a joking tone, so Fu Ciyi said calmly: "My wife will definitely win."

"Do you really want to have it?"

Yan Funing quickly stopped smiling, her little face already puffed up with anger.

Fu Ciyi put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently: "How is that possible?"

It's enough to have the best woman in the world.

If he agreed to let Gongsun Man enter the mansion, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
He paused for a moment, then pulled her hand and said, "I'll go find my father now, and I'll talk to him clearly."

"Don't worry. Right now, our father and mother are discussing Nan Yao's matter. It's better for us not to disturb them." Yan Funing suggested, "Let's go sit with grandma?"

"My lady is really thoughtful."

The couple then went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
-
More than an hour later.

Eunuch Han approached the couple and said, "Your Highness, Princess, it's time for you two to go before the Emperor."

At this moment, Yan Funing was eating snacks and happily watching the three grandmothers play mahjong.

Fu Ciyi was responsible for stuffing the cut fruits and vegetables into her mouth.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Queen Mother Yun said with a smile, "We old guys are having fun all day long, it doesn't matter if you don't accompany us."

"Well, Grandmother, Imperial Grandmother, Grandma Ling, Your Highness and I will take our leave now."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Go away, go away. You don't even know how to help me peek at the cards."

Yan Funing giggled and left with Eunuch Han together with Fu Ciyi.

On the way, Eunuch Han said with a smile: "The emperor heard from me that you two came to look for him, and after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see you, so he sent me to invite you."

"May I ask a question? Have my father and mother reached a consensus on Nan Yao's marriage?" Yan Funing asked.

"At the moment, it all depends on what Prince Sheng thinks."

Eunuch Han said this and led the couple to the imperial study.

Not long after they left, Nanny Li came hurriedly over and said, "The Emperor and Empress have gone to the main hall now. Please move on to the main hall."

"Went to the main hall?" Eunuch Han had no choice but to turn on his toes and ask Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing again.

In the past, when there was something going on, they, father and son, would basically discuss it in the imperial study, but now they went to the main hall, which showed that the matter was quite big, or there were quite a lot of people involved.

Thinking of this, Fu Ciyi asked, "Is there anyone who has come to the palace to see the emperor?"

"It's the Crown Prince of Beiqi Sheng and Princess Man who have arrived." Nanny Li said, "They must be deciding on the important matter of choosing the bride. The Emperor has already sent people to invite the other princes and princesses."

The group entered the hall.

In the hall, the Empress was already seated in the main seat, with several princesses of marriageable age sitting on the right below her, and a few princes sitting on the left. Gongsun Sheng, Gongsun Lei, and Gongsun Man were sitting in the seats closest to the main seat.

When Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing arrived, several princes from the Prince's Office also arrived.

Everyone greeted him.

Long Yi raised his hand and said, "Everyone, take your seats."

"The marriage between Dajing and Beiqi is related to the safety and prosperity of the world. Today, we will make a preliminary decision on the candidates for the marriage, so that the two future couples can enhance their relationship."

Gongsun Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He was going to choose the person right away?
He has not yet thought out his rhetoric and strategy.

Fu Ciyi pulled Yan Funing to sit down calmly, thinking to himself that if his father really wanted to give Gongsun Man to him, he would refuse on the spot.

The worst that can happen is a falling out.

Fu Beimo glanced at Fu Nanyao, who was lowering her head with a shy look.

I thought, could this meeting be about deciding on Yuan Lian as the marriage partner?

Although I thought so, I didn't ask.

The palace maids filed in and served tea and snacks.

Some people started to greet the Gongsun siblings, mostly asking questions like whether they had gotten used to life in Dajing these past few days.

Soon, four princes who had already been crowned kings arrived with their respective princesses.

"Father, everyone is almost here..."

The pleasantries are almost over.

Long Jiaying asked, "Who do you have in mind as your chosen spouse?"

Long Yi said in a clear voice: "The letter from the Northern Qi Kingdom that arrived before the marriage delegation specified that the legitimate princess of Dajing should go to Northern Qi. In this case, I agree." While speaking, he looked at Fu Nanyao gently, "Nanyao, do you agree?"

Although I already knew that she agreed, it was necessary to ask her for the sake of formality.

Fu Nanyao stood up and said, "My daughter will leave it to the Emperor and Empress to decide."

Qiao Wanyou said nothing, with a faint smile on her face.

"Okay." Long Yi laughed out loud and turned to look at Gongsun Sheng.

Gongsun Sheng was thinking about what reason to use to decline politely, and he secretly complained that Emperor Dajing had clearly given him time to reply, but his actions at this moment seemed to be a case of executing first and reporting later.

It makes people unhappy.

It seemed that if he refused on the spot, even if he was more tactful, it would be seen as not giving face to Dajing.

The reason why the letter from the throne asked for a legitimate princess was very simple. At that time, he thought that instead of not being able to find a woman he liked, he would let Princess Dajing marry him.

On the one hand, it would embarrass Dajing, and on the other hand, it could also use Dajing's legitimate princess to restrain Dajing to a certain extent.

Unexpectedly, I met her.

His gaze uncontrollably moved towards Yan Funing.

Suddenly, Long Jiaying stood up and asked, "Does Prince Sheng really like Fifth Sister?"

Gongsun Sheng then calmly shifted his gaze away from Yan Funing and looked indifferently at the woman in front of him who had come to hang around him many times.

Almost everyone in the hall was waiting for Gongsun Sheng's answer.

To everyone's surprise, before Gongsun Sheng could speak, Long Jiaying said, "My fifth sister has been married before. I would like to ask if a married woman can still become the Crown Princess of Beiqi?"

"Long Jiaying, what is your purpose in saying this to me?"

Fu Nanyao was annoyed.

She wants to intercept?
