The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 162 The Imperial Study Room 1
Inside the imperial study.

"Emperor, you came just in time. Tell me, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

The old emperor avoided Xia Jinchai's courtesy, and immediately asked him such and such questions as soon as he saw him.

Although Xia Jinchai has always been his most beloved son, he has always protected him in many ways.He even intends to pass on the throne to him after a hundred years.But how could he compete with Duanmu Ling for a woman!

He is the only legitimate son in Duanmu's family, and Duanmu Jianjiang, an old guy, asked his grandson to give him a vacation for a long time in order to let his grandson concentrate on finding a wife.If it weren't for Duanmuling's sense of responsibility and consciously coming to the court every day, I'm afraid that gang of warriors would be in chaos without a leader.

But you, Xia Jinchai, are lucky, not only did you not consider the overall situation, but you are not willing to marry Duanmuling's maid who you have bestowed a marriage on!
Isn't she just a maid?What's the point of exchanging a servant girl for the peace of the country for decades or even a hundred years after you ascended the throne?
Hmph, how could Xie Lian not understand the meaning of the Emperor, how could the two of them meet in the court almost every day.

It's just that your Qinghong country wife is not at peace, so what does it matter to you?What extreme thoughts would Duanmu Ling have because of this, and what would it affect him?
Therefore, Xia Jinchai just pretended that he didn't understand anything, and asked puzzledly, "I don't know what I did wrong this time, so that I accidentally made my father so angry?"

"You... ugh!"

The old emperor sitting on the dragon chair pointed his finger at Xia Jinchai's nose angrily, then turned his head to one side in resentment.

According to the experience of previous lectures, Xia Jinchai at this time can probably quit the Imperial Study Room.But, firstly, today's old emperor didn't take the initiative to tell him to leave, and secondly, Xia Jinchai still had something to report, so he didn't take the initiative to go out.

Xia Jinchai looked down at the square inch under his feet.The well-paved stones not only perfectly reflected his graceful posture, but even the expression in his face and eyes could be vaguely seen clearly.Heh, Xia Jinchai standing next to him is very nervous!

The old emperor picked up a volume of imperial edict and threw it at his son who was doing things more and more unreasonable in front of him.Although he threw it casually, he only threw it when he saw it.It was obviously going straight towards Xia Jinchai's arms, but Xia Jinchai turned his body to the side and dodged it.

The old emperor blushed so angry that he yelled at Xia Jinchai, "You have to accept this decree if you don't!"

As soon as these words came out, the little eunuch next to him bravely ran over, picked up the imperial decree on the ground, and handed it to Lord Chai respectfully.

Xia Jinchai didn't even look at it, he flicked his sleeve, and knocked everyone to the ground along with the imperial decree.

"Oh, my son, what's the matter? So it's about Bai Jiujiu." Xia Jinchai said indifferently.

Seeing the emperor glaring and about to vent his unhappiness, Xia Jinchai straightened his posture slightly.

"Actually, it's not that the son-in-law intends to resist the order, it's really that the father is unfair in this matter."

"what?"

Not only did the old emperor cast an unbelievable look, but even Duanmu Ling, who had been listening to the results, looked up at him.

Fair!He, Xia Jinchai, has the guts to say it's fair! ,

Hehe, yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Qinghong Kingdom really did not handle many things fairly.Because almost everything related to him, Xia Jinchai, involved his interests, the emperor always favored him and tried his best to protect him.

Could it be that Xia Jinchai is not used to the fact that he asked the emperor to marry Bai Jiujiu to him today because he did it so fairly?

Xia Jinchai completely ignored the contempt the two of them had for him.Smiling, hanging lightly on his innocent face, he sighed softly: "Father, does the emperor think that Erchen is a person who is very casual about feelings?"

The voice is not loud, and even compared to the two years when the father and son talked alone, they are many times more gentle and calm.However, it was precisely such a plain tone that instantly shook the thought of the emperor as a father.

indeed.If it wasn't for Chai Er's overly persistent feelings, how could he have ended up in this decadent situation?

It's been two years, and it's fine if he doesn't accept a concubine, but he doesn't even want a concubine or a girl who serves as a bed servant. For a while, he wondered if he was hit so hard that something went wrong.

It's good now, he finally fell in love with a girl from a certain family, and he and his well-known concubine mother can rest assured.But... why is it Duanmu Ling's favorite woman.

The old emperor looked at the two men who were of the same stature and appearance in front of him. One of the two men was his right-hand man, and with his help, he could sleep peacefully; the other was his most cherished man. Chai Er, the prince he couldn't bear if he didn't marry him every day and felt guilty every day he didn't accept him.

This choice is really hard to choose!

The old emperor's head was gradually buried so that no one could see the expression on his face.As for Duanmu Ling, his lips were slightly hooked, obviously smiling with a victory in sight.Finally, Duanmuling felt that if he didn't remind the emperor at this moment, it would be too late when the emperor spoke again.

"Your Majesty, you promise that the last will come first. Moreover, as far as the person involved, Bai Jiu, is very happy to accept this marriage offer."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Jinchai immediately made fun of him: "Hmph, can you believe Bai Jiujiu's words?"

Duanmuling's anger was finally aroused and he could no longer restrain himself, he retorted without hesitation: "Shouldn't marriage be a matter of mutual affection? Since the general intends to marry her, she must be consulted. Otherwise, as the prince thinks?"

"If you want to ask her what is delicious, she may answer it more honestly. But as for the complicated question of feelings, don't say she is hesitant, I'm afraid she has never considered it. It's all based on a moment You who responded impulsively!"

Duanmu Ling's face turned gray when he was frightened by these words.

Will Jiujiu be like this?But if not, why did you reject yourself thousands of miles away yesterday?It even seemed to hide from himself.

Xia Jinchai seemed to have the ability to read minds: "I wonder if General Duanmu paid attention to Ben Wang sitting alone by the window of Juxianzhai yesterday. There is a big table of dishes in front of him?"

Duanmuling nodded subconsciously, always afraid that the man in front of him would confirm his doubts next.

"The dishes on that table were all ordered at Jiujiu's request. Hehe, if she hadn't suddenly seen you acting strangely, I'm afraid this king really wouldn't have noticed that the general came to Juxianzhai by coincidence. Let's eat!"
