Chapter 202: A Decree to Grant a Marriage (5)
The emperor froze and looked at Concubine Shu.See Concubine Shu smiling at herself.A look of nostalgia flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he turned to look at the two kneeling on the ground.Yes!Back then, for Concubine Li, why didn't I think of being a couple for the rest of my life?But when did he do it?Not to mention his whole life, even a few years, he failed to persevere, for the sake of his throne and to appease those courtiers.What have you done?I doted on Concubine Li, but in the end I pushed her to the forefront, and let so many women plot against her and murder her!In my life, I couldn't even protect the woman I love the most. It was a real failure!
Du Hai saw the worried look on the emperor's face, and knew that the emperor was thinking of the past.He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, would you like a cup of tea first?"

The emperor shook his head and looked at Concubine Shu.Sighed: "You have always been in poor health, how did you come out? But for this rebellious son?"

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "The concubine's health is much better. It's just that I heard He Er said early this morning that she wanted to come to ask the emperor for a marriage grant. The concubine was happy, so she waited for his good news in the palace. But Zuo waited. You and others didn’t come, and I was anxious, so I came over to have a look.”

Although the emperor didn't have any expression on his face, when he looked at Concubine Shu, the concern in his eyes was very strong, it didn't seem to be fake!The emperor ordered Du Hai to move a chair for Concubine Shu, and after helping Concubine Shu to sit down with his own hands, he said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Heer, after all, he is going to marry the fourth princess of Beiliang .This point cannot be changed!"

Concubine Shu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The emperor is really willing to betroth the four princesses to He'er? I'm afraid that if this happens, He'er will be caught in the middle again? Your majesty, you have to think about it. Mo It's about regretting."

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair again, with a little hesitation on his face.

Jingyi saw the interaction between the emperor and Concubine Shu just now, everyone said that Concubine Shu had fallen out of favor for many years, but seeing the emperor's behavior towards Concubine Shu just now, she was very considerate!In addition, the way the emperor looked at Concubine Shu was obviously different from when he looked at the Queen, Concubine De and others!The emperor's thoughts are really like the sea, bottomless!

Seeing that the emperor hesitated, Li He pleaded again: "Father, my son grew up in the palace, but before I went to the northern border, the number of times I saw you was very few. My son I know that my father is busy with state affairs, so I dare not complain! But my father, this son is also your son! My son is also your blood! My son was bullied every day when I was young, and I always worry that I will be bullied next time. Which royal brother or sister beats and scolds, but I have never dared to blame my father! As the king of a country, my father has no time to take care of my son, but my father, I dare to ask you today, my son is not my father. Is the emperor's son?"

When Li Hyuk said this, tears were streaming down his face!Even Concubine Shu, who was sitting quietly beside her, had red eyes.The emperor looked at the son in surprise.He was bullied since he was a child, his father naturally knew it.However, the emperor did not expect that this son would say these things now.

Li He looked straight at the emperor, and said again: "Father! Although my son has not been loved by his father since he was a child, but father, my son will never forget that he is your son and belongs to Dayuan. Prince! Seven years ago, there was a rebellion in northern Xinjiang, and my son went to the frontier to quell the rebellion for the country and share the worries of his father! Although he was only 13 years old at the time, he was not afraid to fight the enemy! Because the son always told himself, This minister is Da Yuan's prince, representing Da Yuan's majesty! Never give up easily!"

Speaking of this, Su Jingyi also shed tears unknowingly.As for Concubine Shu, she was already in tears.

Li He took two steps on his knees, and said again: "Father, my son has never asked you for anything since he was a child? Even if the rebellion in the northern border was put down, this son never thought of asking father to reward his son? Now, my son, I only ask my father to let me marry the person I like, and I will have no regrets in this life! Father, if you are worried that my son is trying to win over Pingnan Hou and General Weiyuan, I swear here , my son would rather give up his identity as the prince! I only hope that you can marry my son and Su Jingyi! Father!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Li He's words are sincere, every sentence is sincere, there is no affectation!When the emperor heard this, his nose was sore, and his eyes were slightly moist.The emperor held back, raised his eyebrows, blinked, and forcefully forced back the tears that were about to come out.

The emperor looked at Su Jingyi, and saw that she had already burst into tears.He said softly: "Su Jingyi, I ask you, if I take Li He's status as prince and demote him to a commoner, are you still willing to marry him?"

Jingyi heard the words, smiled and said with tears: "Go back to the emperor, my daughter is willing! If the emperor thinks that it is not enough for him to give up his status, my daughter would rather give up the identity of the princess!"

Su Jingyi's words stunned Concubine Shu who was wiping away her tears, she couldn't help but look at Su Jingyi carefully, was she willing to give up her honorable status as princess for Li He?It seems that Li He's vision is really good.

The emperor is very angry!One said that he gave up the position of prince, and the other said that he gave up the position of princess, how could he be regarded as the emperor!Seeing the blue veins on the emperor's forehead bursting, he was already in a state of extreme anger!
At this time, the servant came to report again, saying that Concubine De had arrived.

Concubine De entered the palace, and after giving the gift, she glanced at the two kneeling there, ignored them, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this concubine is here to ask for a marriage order for Jin Wang Li Zheng."

Another one who came to ask for a marriage?The emperor suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said: "Zheng'er? Who do you want to marry?"

Concubine Deqian smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine came to ask the emperor to order a marriage for King Jin and the four princesses of Beiliang."

"What?" The emperor was a little surprised: "Why did Concubine De say such a thing? These four princesses have only been in Beijing for a few days, it seems that they have not met Zheng'er a few times."

Concubine De smiled and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you punish King Jin and King Ming yesterday? Didn't they fight because of the four princesses? Now King Ming is about to get married, so it is impossible to marry her." That's the fourth princess. That's why the concubine came to ask the emperor to marry Jin Wang and the fourth princess."

The emperor caught the point of her words and asked: "You said that the two of them fought for the fourth princess?"

Concubine De was taken aback, "Yes! Originally, Zheng'er didn't say anything, and the concubine didn't know about it. It's just that this morning, the concubine's sister-in-law came to visit the concubine in the palace and talked about what happened last night. It's all about King Jin and King Ming being jealous because of the four princesses! The concubine also felt that the rumors had been spread for a long time, so they wanted to let the emperor give orders, so that everyone would stop talking what."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at Concubine De and said: "Let me think about this matter, you should step back first."
