Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

"Father, my son can marry a wife, but I don't want to marry Yu Qiaoqiao. My son already has a sweetheart. Please take back your promise."

Leng Xi spoke seriously, the emperor suddenly looked sideways at him, "You have a sweetheart? Who is it?"

Lengxi tightened the corners of her mouth, boldly said:

"Yes... an ordinary peasant girl."

"Not allowed to marry."

When the emperor heard him say these words of an ordinary peasant girl, he burst into tears.

Although he felt that he was very weak at this moment, he still shouted with all his strength:

"You are a prince, and ordinary peasant girls can't even be your side concubine, let alone your main concubine, so don't think about it."

"Why not? Sihuang's sister-in-law is a peasant girl. Didn't she also marry Fourth Brother as a concubine? Why can't I do it?"

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed lightly, propping himself up with his arms to sit up, Leng Xi hurriedly got up to help him.

After he sat upright, Lengxi knelt down again and continued:

"Father, I like that peasant girl. She is very cute and knowledgeable. I get along very well with her. She is no worse than Yu Qiaoqiao in all aspects."

The emperor's peaceful expression just now seemed a little more indifferent, he frowned and said:

"No matter how good she is, she can't enter the royal family. Your fourth sister-in-law's situation is special. When your fourth brother was dying of illness, she entered Yu Wang's mansion as the funeral princess. Maybe you can enter the royal family, you don't want to compare her in everything, cough cough..."

Speaking of this, the emperor covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then continued to wave his hands and said:

"When my body recovers, I will let you marry Yu Qiaoqiao. You can go back and prepare."

"Father, I will not marry Yu Qiaoqiao."

"Bold."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "I did this for your own good. You married the Yu family's daughter, and because of the Yu family's status in the court, even if I die in the future, and your fourth brother is allowed to sit on the throne, you will You can be your prince in peace, go back and think about it yourself."

When Lengxi heard these words from the emperor, his heart was suddenly clouded.

Firstly, his father did not allow him to marry Long Xiaomin;

Second, the father has already decided to pass the throne to Leng Yu.

These two decisions, like a bolt from the blue, caught him off guard and didn't know what to do.

Seeing that he didn't move, the emperor waved his hand and said wearily:

"Back off, I'm tired and want to sleep."

After saying that, the emperor waved to Liu Xi who was standing at the door, Liu Xi quickly ran in with small steps, stepped forward, supported the emperor to lie down.

Lengxi did not argue with the emperor anymore, he understood the emperor's temper, once he made a decision, others had no right to refute it.

Lengxi stood up from the ground, and slowly walked out of the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In this early spring weather, the wind was supposed to be gentle, but a gust of breeze blew on Lengxi's face, causing him to shiver, and the biting cold sensation instantly covered his whole body.

"Xi'er, how are you doing?"

Concubine Li came out from nowhere, maybe she never left!

Lengxi glanced at her, with an unconcealable sadness in his brows, and left without saying a word.

Concubine Li was a little confused, so she quickened her pace and asked,

"Xi'er, didn't you hear me? How is your father?"

"He's fine." He simply replied the three words Li Fei.

His words made Concubine Li's face turn livid, but then she breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Since this is the case, then put the first plan on hold for the time being. Don't do anything these few days. Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to accompany your father more. Be calm and don't..."

"Don't say any more."

Leng Xi, who was walking forward suddenly stopped, looked back at Concubine Li, and said word by word:

"Mother and concubine, it is difficult for the minister to forgive me."

After leaving these words, he turned around again and left with big strides.

"Xi'er..."

Concubine Li called out behind him, but he didn't turn his head back.

At this time, Lengxi felt an indescribable sourness in his heart. Long Xiaomin was the first woman he fell in love with, and it was also the first time that he had the urge to marry a woman home, but the father and mother concubine couldn't bear to marry each other. She refused to meet face to face, so she vetoed it.

Although he knew early on that a prince could not marry a peasant girl as his concubine, which was against the rules, he thought that there was a precedent for the four emperors' wives, and he could argue with his mother and concubine and his father, but who would have thought that this would be a risky affair halfway through? Yu Qiaoqiao came out and made all his ideas come to nothing.

The more he thought about this, the more irritable his heart became. He felt his heart was congested, and the gentle wind seemed to become bitter.

"Fifth Brother..."

When he walked with his eyebrows down, Leng Ming appeared in front of him.

He raised his head, looked at Leng Ming with a thin face, and asked with concern:

"Ming'er, you've lost weight."

Leng Ming's already skinny face became even darker, he shook his head and smiled wryly,

"Isn't it better to be thinner, it's better to die, it's too annoying and tiring to live forever."

"What happened to Ming'er?"

Leng Xi suddenly felt that Leng Ming's words were a bit weird, so he hurriedly continued to ask,

"What happened?"

Leng Ming shook his head lightly, "Fifth brother, accompany me to the garden for a walk, I feel short of breath recently, and I feel panicked in the house."

"Okay, I happen to be feeling stuffy too."

The two talked and walked towards the back garden.

They found a pavilion to sit down, let the servants serve tea, and then sent the servants out.

Leng Ming drank a cup of tea, poured another cup self-consciously, raised his neck, and drank it down again.

Lengxi looked at him and asked in puzzlement,

"Ming'er, what happened?"

Leng Ming looked up at him, and said calmly:

"I remember Sihuang's sister-in-law told me before that the children of ordinary people, at my age, are still haunting their parents, but I am already facing the battle with several royal brothers for the throne of my father. My life is gone, fifth brother, I don't want to do this."

Lengxi took a sip of tea, and the moment he put down the teacup, he comforted softly:

"Ming'er, don't think so much, we were born in the royal family, so we have no choice."

"But I don't want to compete with you and my fourth brother for the throne, and I don't want to be the emperor. I don't want us to fight each other, and I don't want to live this kind of intrigue and fear every day, you know? A few days ago I really want to be filial in front of my father, but he suspects that I have other plans for him, suspects that in order to force him to write my name on the imperial edict, I really didn't..."

Speaking of this, Leng Ming suddenly covered his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

"Ming'er, Fifth Brother can understand your thoughts, but since ancient times, as a prince, there are not many people who don't want to be emperor, and there are not many brothers who fight each other for the throne. It's rare for you to think like this, Fifth Brother feels very happy , but some things, we have no choice."

Speaking of this, he thought of what his mother and concubine had said to him, and a sense of sadness rose spontaneously.

"But I don't want to do that. My mother and concubine said that if I don't fight, whoever of you becomes the emperor will kill me in the future. Fifth brother, if you become the emperor, will you kill me?"
