I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 127 The Father and Daughter Confrontation
Although regarding the matter of Leng Yuanxun's identity, he only told the truth without any framing, but in the eyes of outsiders, I'm afraid that's not the case, especially Murong Jing, he will definitely take this opportunity to do everything possible To slander himself in front of the emperor, so...he had to remove himself from the identity of the suspect.

The most direct and effective way to do this is...in-laws.

Princess Qingyu has admired Leng Yuanxun for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as crazy. The emperor also intended to marry the two of them earlier, but Princess Qingyu made a mistake some time ago and was punished to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors in the palace. He was sent to Jiangling again, and was temporarily stranded.

He knew that both Leng Yuanxun and Murong Jing were interested in Qu Lingxu, and originally planned to use Qu Lingxu to stir up disputes between the two. This would not only turn Murong Jing and Leng Yuanxun against each other, but also crush Murong Jing and destroy Qu Liancheng. It's a beautiful dream to win over Donggong, but now that the Chen family has passed away, Qu Lingxu has to observe the filial piety for two years, and there is no chance to do it for the time being, so he can only take this slightly inferior move.

Without further ado, he had to ask Qingyu to obtain a marriage decree from his father in the shortest possible time, otherwise, he might delay the important event.

Thinking like this, Murong Li didn't delay for a moment, and immediately repaired a letter and asked her confidants to send it to the palace and hand it to Concubine Xu. Concubine Xu knew very well whether Leng Yuanxun had any thoughts for Princess Qingyu. Under such circumstances, even if she married to the Marquis of Huaiyang, she would definitely not have a comfortable life, but the reason given by Murong Li made her unable to refute it.

But hesitation is hesitation, Concubine Xu did not struggle for too long. In the final analysis, what she cares most about is the country and power. In the face of huge interests, the happiness of a mere daughter is nothing. The big deal is that after Murong Li ascends the throne, Then make a promise for her to be a good family.

Contrary to Concubine Xu Guifei's decision driven by interests, Princess Qingyu was ecstatic when she learned that her mother and concubine who had strongly opposed her marrying Leng Yuanxun before suddenly let go, and she was like a cheerful bird without caring about washing and changing clothes. Jumping up and down, he ran towards the Palace of Qinzheng.

She has loved Leng Yuanxun for so long, so long that she can't even remember how many years, although the other party has always been indifferent to her, not even a smiling face, but her requirements are not high, as long as she can always be with him By Leng Yuanxun's side, he was content to see him every day.

In love, the person who is the first to be emotional is often humble, let alone unrequited love, even if Princess Qingyu is the golden branch of the Tianjia, it is no exception.

All the way to the Hall of Qinzheng, it happened that the emperor had finished handling the government affairs and was standing on the porch basking in the sun. The emperor had always liked this daughter, so he beckoned her to come over from a distance, and said with a smile, "Why do you have time to come here today to greet the emperor?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Princess Qingyu pursed her lips and said with a coquettish smile: "What did the emperor say? My daughter wants to visit you often, but you have so many memorials to deal with. If you delay because of your daughter's problems It's a major national event, and that daughter can't be redeemed by a hundred deaths."

The emperor was in a good mood, raised his hand to poke Princess Qingyu's forehead, and said with a hearty smile: "You girl, when did you become such a well-behaved person, tell me, what do you want to see the emperor today?"

"Look at what the father said, there is nothing wrong, so can't the daughter come to pay respects to the father?" Princess Qingyu curled her lips in reproach, and said coquettishly: "The father doesn't care about my daughter at all."

Hearing Princess Qingyu's words, not only was the emperor not angry, but he smiled at the eunuch who was accompanying him: "Look at this little heartless person, if I don't even love her, then I really have never hurt anyone."

"Father, you know how to make fun of my son." Princess Qingyu stepped forward and pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes, gently shaking and coquettishly said: "My daughter really has something to ask Father today, and I ask Father for permission."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Facing the emperor's interested eyes, Princess Qingyu lowered her head in embarrassment, and whispered: "Father, please enter the palace, my daughter just wants to tell you alone, and I don't want others to hear."

Seeing the state of a young daughter like Princess Qingyu, the emperor vaguely guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything, and just followed her into the inner hall.

After serving the emperor to sit on the dragon chair, Princess Qingyu did not sit beside her, but walked to the center of the hall, gathered her clothes and knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed: "Father, I beg you to marry your daughter to Shizi Leng."

Princess Qingyu likes Leng Yuanxun, it is no secret in the capital, the emperor will naturally know, but he did not expect her to ask for a marriage so straightforwardly, after a short pause, he sighed slightly: "Qingyu, Royal Father It's not that I haven't considered your marriage, but Leng Yuanxun...is not your beloved."

The emperor knows his daughter very well. Although she has no bad intentions, she is spoiled and domineering. She is definitely not a kind master. It stands to reason that Princess Qingyu is a golden branch and jade leaf. Yuan Xun is different, he has outstanding abilities, but his temperament is rare and indifferent, and he has no love for Princess Qingyu, so he will never accommodate and tolerate Qingyu, even if he is forced to marry her, it is doomed to not have any good results.

Hearing the emperor's words, Princess Qingyu stared slightly with her beautiful red phoenix eyes, and immediately retorted a little excitedly: "How can father and emperor conclude that brother Yuanxun is not my son's beloved? My son disagrees."

She originally thought that the biggest resistance between herself and Leng Yuanxun was her mother and concubine, but she never thought that her father's attitude was more determined than that of her mother's concubine. This made Princess Qingyu's previous good mood disappear, and she just felt irritated.

Compared with Concubine Xu, the emperor sincerely hopes that his precious daughter will have a good home. Seeing that she was emotional, she was not angry, but stepped forward to pull her up from the ground, and persuaded softly: "Leng Yuanxun is too tempered. Tough, such a man will be a pillar of the country, but he will definitely not be a good husband, not to mention, he doesn't care for you, so why should you be stubborn?"

Seeing that Princess Qingyu lowered her head and said nothing, the emperor lightly patted her on the shoulder, and continued to comfort her: "There are a lot of young and middle-aged talents in the dynasty, don't worry, I will definitely choose someone with outstanding character, both civil and military skills for you." Husband, absolutely no worse than Leng Yuanxun."

It's fine if the emperor doesn't say this, but as soon as the words came out, Princess Qingyu became even more emotional, and even disregarding the difference between the monarch and her subjects, she shook off the emperor's hand and said sharply: "I don't want it! I will marry Brother Yuan Xun , if you can't marry her, I would rather not marry her for the rest of my life!"

This statement may not be a big deal in modern times, but in ancient times when feudal ideology was deeply rooted, marriage has always been "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", let alone in the royal family where interests are the first to marry, how can it be possible The woman to be married decides for herself?
Therefore, Princess Qingyu's words can be described as outrageous.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor shouted with a gloomy face, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Kneel down!"

It's because he pampered this daughter too much on weekdays, that made her so arrogant and confident!
When the emperor became serious, he had a stern look without anger and prestige, and the aura around him was frighteningly cold. Princess Qingyu couldn't help but tremble at such a change. She knew that it would be absolutely useless to confront the emperor under such circumstances. So he knelt down obediently, and said without exception: "My son's words and deeds are innocent, please forgive me."

"Go out, leave Qinzheng Hall immediately before I get angry!" Princess Qingyu was released from the grounds a few days ago, the emperor didn't want to punish her for such a trivial matter, so he suppressed his temper and said coldly.

Although Princess Qingyu was afraid of the emperor, she knew that if she left here now, she would never have any chance to marry Leng Yuanxun, so she bit her lip hard and said stubbornly: "Father, my son really loves Brother Yuanxun Yes, why can't you complete your son?"

Seeing Princess Qingyu's small face about to condense together with grievance, but still stubbornly refusing to give in, let alone shed tears, the emperor's heart inexplicably softened a little, and the anger caused by her rude words before did not know to be vented. Where to go, I just sighed helplessly: "You girl, why are you so stubborn?"

"I'm not being stubborn, I just don't want to leave regrets in my life." Princess Qingyu knelt down again, solemnly kowtowed three times, and said word by word: "I'm so daring to ask my father a question, you...you Have you ever truly loved someone?"

The emperor couldn't help but be taken aback by this sudden question. For so many years, he has married countless wives and concubines, and there are countless palace maids who only get lucky once but have no status. Have you ever really thought about who you love?
Empress, Concubine Xu, Li Zhaoyi?

There may be some pets, but love... It seems that there has never been one.

He is the emperor, but he doesn't know what love is, which sounds a bit ironic.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Princess Qingyu knew that she had the answer to her question, so she bravely continued: "Father, you are the lord of ten thousand chariots, admired and worshiped by everyone, but there are so many women in the palace, how many of them are there?" I really love you? As a princess, my daughter enjoys the glory and wealth that ordinary people can't match, but these are not what my daughter wants. My daughter only wants to be with Brother Yuanxun. Even if he doesn't love me, I am willing to always Stay by his side."

In the eyes of the emperor, Princess Qingyu has always been a self-willed child who never grew up. He never thought that she would say such affectionate words. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Princess Qingyu's face. Qingyu did not dodge anything. He met the emperor's eyes calmly.

This is the confrontation between father and daughter, and also the confrontation between man and woman.
