Hou's favorite girl

Chapter 187

Outside Liangyi Hall, King Huai, King Lu, and King Zheng stood side by side, waiting for the emperor to summon them.

King Lu was a little uneasy, "Your Majesty won't be angry, right? The three kings went to the Marquis of Anyuan to propose marriage, and each of them got His Majesty's consent. It is obvious that the old man is a little dizzy."

"You are the one who is unconscious." Zheng Wang was displeased.

"Ah Hao, don't talk nonsense." Duke Huai reprimanded him.

King Lu was not convinced, "Am I wrong? Tell me, if all three young men in a family go to another house to ask for marriage, and everyone has the permission of the elders, who would say that the elders are confused? "

"If you are capable, you can say the same in front of my father." King Zheng gritted his teeth.

"Then I won't dare. I'll just nag behind the old man's back. I definitely don't have the guts to face him." Lu Wang made a face at him.

King Zheng was angry, his face sank like water.

"Your Majesty, King Xuanlu enters the palace." The servant came over to pass on the emperor's words.

Lu Wang hurriedly straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, sixth brother, you are welcome." He proudly followed the servant inside.

"Fifth brother, look at this A Hao, relying on his father to take pity on him, he is so crazy in front of us." Zheng Wang sneered.

Duke Huai's face was condensed, and he remained silent.

Zheng Wang was talking to himself, very boring, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.

King Lu was quite at ease outside, but when he entered the palace, he behaved well when he saw the emperor, "I pay homage to Your Majesty."

The emperor was flipping through the memorial in his hand, but he didn't let King Lu get up, and asked straight to the point: "Ah Hao, why do you want to marry Jiang Hui?"

King Lu knew that the emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to chat with him, so he suddenly became nervous, "This, this, Your Majesty, I have thought about it a long time ago, but at that time I didn't know what she looked like..." I talked about the things outside Prince Mu's mansion, "...I saw her again in Prince Qi's mansion later, and I regretted it so much. If I had known that she was so good-looking, I should have asked her to complain in front of you, so I wouldn't Is it logical to marry her? You don't have to wait until today to compete with the fifth brother, sixth brother, and He Xiangye's youngest son."

King Lu didn't dare to lie in front of the emperor, but when the emperor asked him such a question, he panicked and confessed everything without hiding anything.

The emperor mentioned what the Zhubi was instructing, and asked casually, "Xiaohuo was with you that night, right?"

"Yes, fifth brother is with me." Lu Wang said cautiously: "I'm worried that Miss Jiang will sue the imperial court and beg fifth brother, and fifth brother will come forward to make things right for me. However, uncle emperor, fifth brother doesn't like your name He is a small fire, he said that he has grown up, and he should not be called by his nickname anymore..."

After the emperor finished his instructions, the pen in his hand slapped on the imperial case.

King Lu's heart trembled, he hurriedly knelt down properly and did not dare to speak any more.

The emperor frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to press his temple, "According to what you said, you have long wanted to marry, and you have met Jiang Hui in Prince Qi's residence. Then why did you not propose marriage to me until today?"

"Your Majesty, I have begged Aunt Huang long ago. Aunt Huang said... that Miss Jiang's mother married Li separately, and her background is a bit embarrassing, so she is not suitable to be hired as a princess, so..." King Lu stammered.

"The empress refused you, so you have brought your idea to me." The emperor's voice was calm, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger.

King Lu cried, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Alas, both of my parents have died since I was a child, and there is no one to teach me, so there are inevitably shortcomings in my life and work. If my parents are still alive and teach me carefully, I will not speak foolishly." Do something stupid..."

This is Lu Wang's magic weapon.As long as he cries that he is a child whose parents died, the emperor will always let him go.

This time was no exception. King Lu cried dryly twice, and the emperor threw down the memorial in his hand, saying: "Don't cry, get out! This time I don't care about you, next time I dare to be with my uncle and aunt." Play smart in front of you, and see how Uncle treats you!"

King Lu passed the pass easily, and thanked him with great joy, "Yes, Uncle Huang, my son will not dare again." , that child's marriage..." The emperor said in a low voice, "I will order the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of War to conduct a test, and only the winner will be qualified to be the son-in-law of Marquis Anyuan."

"Baby's literary talent and martial arts can't compare with Fifth Brother?" Lu Wang frowned.

"You were born in the same year as Xiao Huo, and you can't match him in literary and martial arts, so you have the guts to say that?" The emperor had a hint of anger on his face.

Lu Wang was dejected, "Your old man taught you the lesson." He went out with a sigh.

"Why are old people not old people? I am very old?" The emperor was displeased.

The servant in the house hurriedly laughed and said: "Your Majesty is not old. Your Majesty, if you change into a commoner and go shopping in the market, I am afraid that a lot of girls and daughters-in-law will fall in love with you? His Royal Highness Lu Wang respects you and loves you." You, that’s why you’re called that, and you definitely don’t mean to say you’re old. I dare to guarantee this with my head.”

The emperor snorted and stopped talking about old age.

The servant boy secretly wiped his sweat.

The next one, the emperor's name is King Zheng.

King Zheng, like King Lu, usually act foolishly, but he dared not act presumptuously when he saw the emperor. He knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty." The emperor frowned, "Ah, why do you want to marry Jiang Hui?" , no nonsense.

King Zheng was stunned, and said: "I saw Jiang Hui for the first time in Prince Qi's mansion. At first, I just thought she was beautiful and outstanding. Later, I was teased by her in public. I felt that this girl was different, so I developed a heart of admiration..."

"I was born with a heart of love in Prince Qi's mansion, why do I have the idea of ​​proposing marriage until today?" The emperor remained calm.

King Zheng's eyes flashed, he lowered his head, and said vaguely, "This, I originally wanted to tell His Majesty, but His Majesty is busy with state affairs, and I dare not bother you with such a private matter..."

"Does your concubine know?" the emperor asked quietly.

"No, I don't know..." King Zheng's voice dropped.

Concubine Hui has only one son, and he wanted to marry Jiang Hui, but he didn't tell Concubine Hui beforehand. This is really strange.King Zheng himself felt ashamed when he thought of it.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and ordered King Zheng to step down.King Zheng respectfully bowed four times, stood up and retreated, and turned around full of hope before leaving, "Your Majesty, the minister's marriage..."

The emperor smiled, "Competing literary skills and martial arts, the winner is qualified to beg me."

King Zheng complained in his heart, and went out listlessly.
