Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal
Chapter 74 Adding Obstacles
Chu Xuanchi did not return to Prince Yu's Mansion, but entered the palace.
Emperor Wenzong was a little bit unconvinced when he heard the news, "Old Five has entered the palace?"
Li Tuquan responded with a smile, repeating deliberately, "Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince requests an audience."
Emperor Wenzong put down his imperial cinnabar brush and thought, "Did the sun rise from the west today?"
"Your Highness looks unhappy." Reading people's expressions is an important ability for Li Tuquan.
Emperor Wenzong felt a headache when he heard this. "He came here to pick a fight. I wonder why he would take the initiative to enter the palace."
Li Tuquan solved the problem, "Your Highness went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue. I wonder if this visit to the palace is related to Miss Mo."
The palace had already received the news that Chu Xuanchi was going to see Mo Zhaohua, and Emperor Wenzong was quite pleased with his cooperation at that time.
But now he couldn't help but worry, "It's been several months since the marriage was granted. Could it be that the Mo family girl has changed her mind again and made Lao Wu unhappy?"
Li Tuquan recalled, "Miss Mo Er hasn't been to Prince Yu's Mansion for some time, but the two of them got along very well last time."
Emperor Wenzong was a little angry with Mo Zhaohua, "My marriage cannot be changed. The Mo family girl must agree even if she doesn't want to!"
Chu Xuanchi waited outside the imperial study for a while before being summoned to an audience. He saluted Emperor Wenzong while sitting in a wheelchair.
Emperor Wenzong got straight to the point, "Who is so blind as to offend Old Five and allow you to come before me with such a stern face?"
Chu Xuanchi immediately restrained his expression, "Father, you are too serious. I have a bad temper and my expression is always like this."
Emperor Wenzong saw that his expression had eased, so he didn't bother to ask, "I wonder why the fifth brother suddenly came to the palace?"
Chu Xuanchi did not say, "I came from the Ministry of Revenue."
Emperor Wenzong's heart skipped a beat. "But the Mohist girl makes you unhappy? So unhappy with the marriage?"
Chu Xuanchi denied, "How could that be? I just happened to be out, so I came to pay my respects to my father and grandmother."
Emperor Wenzong breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I am still blessed by my future daughter-in-law, and I was able to have the fifth son come to the palace to pay his respects."
Chu Xuanchi said in a high-sounding manner, "I just want to tell you with practical actions that I will obey your will."
He knew very well what Emperor Wenzong was worried about. It was simply that he was afraid that he would have great military achievements and would covet the only position.
"Isn't the Mo family girl good?" Emperor Wenzong has been paying attention to Chu Xuanhan's affairs recently, and Chu Xuanchi's marriage has been handed over to others.
Chu Xuanchi pulled up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "Okay, the arrangements made by the emperor for me are always excellent."
Emperor Wenzong felt guilty and immediately frowned, "Why, Lao Wu, are you complaining about your past military service?"
In order to turn a blind eye to the incident, he sent a twelve-year-old child to join the army in southern Xinjiang. He was indeed too cruel.
Chu Xuanchi said solemnly: "I was able to achieve military merits thanks to my military service. I am very grateful, and I believe I am grateful for the marriage."
The hidden meaning was that he was dissatisfied with the arranged marriage, just as he was dissatisfied with joining the army at a young age, but he would follow Emperor Wenzong's wishes and obey his orders.
Emperor Wenzong felt more and more guilty. Chu Xuanchi could marry a woman with a better family background, but because of his precautions, he chose the girl from the Mohist School.
He concealed his good intentions and only said nice things, "I also hope that you and your wife can respect each other and grow old together."
Chu Xuanchi folded his hands and bowed his head, "Thank you, father. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I will not disturb you any further."
Emperor Wenzong felt pressured by him and wanted him to leave quickly. "That's good. The Queen Mother will be happy to know that you are here to pay your respects."
"Your son, take your leave." Chu Xuanchi had upset Emperor Wenzong, so he left the imperial study in a happy mood and went to Shoukang Palace.
When the sound of the wheelchair faded away, Emperor Wenzong frowned, "This Old Fifth, I can't see through his mind any more."
Li Tuquan comforted him, "Perhaps Your Highness just wants to reassure His Majesty, otherwise why would he go to see Miss Mo in person?"
"I hope so." Emperor Wenzong picked up the cinnabar imperial pen again and continued to review the mountain of memorials.
***
While Chu Xuanchi was still in the palace, Prince Yu's Mansion had already sent two generous gifts to the Minister of Revenue's Mansion.
One copy was given to Princess-to-be Mo Zhaohua, and one copy was given to her mother Rong Qing, and the news soon spread to the palace.
Li Tuquan was in charge of screening the information. He originally just wanted to report the gift-giving matter, but changed his mind after seeing the detailed list of gifts.
"Tea?" Emperor Wenzong was stunned after listening to his report. "Did Lao Wu specially send tea to the Mo family girl?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the spies in the Queen Mother's palace, His Royal Highness mentioned tea several times."
It was for this reason that when Li Tuquan saw the gift list, he decided to report this small matter to Emperor Wenzong.
"How bad is the tea in the Shangshu Mansion? They even asked Lao Wu to specially deliver tea. No, that's not right... I understand."
Emperor Wenzong was just disdainful at first, until he heard about the special gift of tea, he suddenly realized the deep meaning of it.
When a man gives his fiancée gifts, I think they are usually expensive jewelry or beautiful fabrics. How could they just give a few packets of tea?
Especially since Chu Xuanchi also went into the palace, it was clearly telling them that the Mo family girl was not having a good life nowadays.
Li Tuquan didn't understand, "I am stupid, please explain clearly, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wenzong chuckled, "Old Five is asking for a reward from me."
"Ask for a reward?" Li Tuquan's expression became increasingly confused. "But doesn't Your Majesty often give rewards to Prince Yu's Palace?"
"The Prince Yu's Palace has it, but the Mo family girl doesn't." Emperor Wenzong ordered, "Hurry up and send someone to prepare a generous gift to reward them."
"I obey your command." Li Tuquan took the order and went back to make arrangements.
Soon after, Emperor Wenzong's reward was sent to the Ministry of Revenue with great fanfare to show the emperor's attention.
Of course, the one that mattered was not Mo Yun, the Minister of Revenue, but his only legitimate daughter, the future Princess Yu.
Amber looked at the boxes in the yard, puzzled, "Miss, why did His Majesty suddenly give so many rewards?"
Mo Zhaohua was also confused when she first received the reward, until the eunuch mentioned that Chu Xuanchi had entered the palace today, she finally understood.
This should be the reward Chu Xuanchi asked for her, otherwise why would he go to the palace on such a hot day?
She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were curled up and told Amber, "This is not for me, but for His Majesty the King."
"Ah?" Amber was even more confused, "Why didn't you send it to the Prince's Palace for His Highness, but sent it to us instead?"
Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "Because your young lady will be his highness, won't this reward enter the Prince Yu's Palace sooner or later?"
Amber's eyes were full of confusion. "I still don't understand. Since I have to enter Prince Yu's palace sooner or later, wouldn't it be better to send it directly there?"
Pearl was smarter. At least she could figure it out. "Your Majesty, this is to save the prince's face and for the world to see."
Amber scratched her head. "So complicated..."
Pearl didn't know how to explain it, "You just need to know that this is how much His Majesty values our young lady."
Amber couldn't figure it out so she just didn't think about it. "Okay, as long as our lady can understand, I will be obedient anyway."
Yueying never said a word, but she couldn't wait to write a letter to report.
