I dressed as a princess and cheated on myself

The prince didn't dare to come for the third time. His face turned red, so red that blood could drip out. Even the roots of his ears were red. The emperor took a deep breath and waved his hand, saying, "Just apologize. Even if you lose, you should lose in a decent way."

The prince lowered his face, bowed his head, clasped his fists to Song Bushi and said, "I'm sorry!"

For the first time in his life, he apologized to someone in such a humble manner. Song Bu said generously, "It's okay, I have a broad mind. Let's forget about it. Your Highness, don't feel embarrassed. Just think of it as a lesson. Don't be so overbearing in the future."

The prince gnashed his teeth, but could not utter a word. He then turned to the emperor and said, "I am not feeling well. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he left without waiting for the emperor's approval.

The emperor also knew that he was upset, so he didn't argue with him. Of course, he didn't blame Song Bushi, because he knew she was a smart woman who was hard to control. Moreover, since Yu'er was so protective of her, he naturally didn't want to be a bad guy. He was just thinking about changing the subject when he heard the eunuch shout, "The second prince is here!"

Song Bushi immediately looked outside the gate. The legendary second prince should be Zhang Rulan's fiancé.

He must have come here today to ask for a marriage. She was curious about his appearance. He shouldn't be ugly. After all, the princes were all good-looking. They were all tall and strong with outstanding looks.

But when she saw several eunuchs carrying a wooden wheelchair, in which sat a young man in brocade clothes.

She was a little confused. Could this be the legendary second prince? Was he disabled?

She looked at King Heng in confusion and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? What happened to his foot?"

"Wounds sustained on the battlefield."

King Heng made light of it, and Song Bushi was speechless, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Isn't this harmful to Ru Lan?"

"She knows."

Song Bushi was speechless. Yes, of course Ru Lan knew. How could she not know?

But she still agreed.

She tried hard, but the man she loved was not interested in her. It was really a difficult choice to marry an old man in his twilight years or a disabled young man. No wonder Xiaoyu said that she thought about it for a long time before agreeing.

If you marry a prince, at least you won’t be trapped in the harem.

Putting aside his disability, the second prince looks okay, which is better than facing a face full of wrinkles.

The second prince said calmly, "Father, I came here today to ask for a favor. I hope your majesty will grant it."

"You say! As long as I can afford it, I will give it to you."

Song Bushixin said, this sounds too nice, he wants the throne, can you give it to him?

"I would like to ask the emperor for permission to marry me!"

The emperor was overjoyed and stood up, saying, "Okay, since you were injured, you have never gone out to see anyone. I have always wanted to find a princess for you to accompany and take care of you, but you refused every time I asked. Which girl do you like? Just tell me, and I will make the decision for you!"

"The eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, Zhang Rulan!"

The Duke's body stiffened. The Emperor looked at him with a sharp look. The Duke quickly asked, "Is it my daughter?"

"Yes. Does the Duke agree?"

The Emperor stared at the Duke, who quickly apologized with a smile, "I agree, of course I agree! It's my daughter's blessing to be favored by the prince!"

"Haha, today is a double blessing, Han'er, congratulations on finding a princess of your dreams! I will grant you marriage right now!"

As he spoke, he wrote the marriage certificate with great enthusiasm, stamped it with his seal, and handed it to the father-in-law beside him to read it out.

After the eunuch finished reading aloud, the second prince accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.

What shocked Song Bushi was that the wedding date was set for a month later. Isn’t this too hasty?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Excellency the Duke!"

All the ministers came forward to congratulate him, and the Duke kept smiling and responded one by one.

"It is my honor and Ruer's blessing!"

The emperor raised his glass high, "Come, today is a happy day, let's drink to Han'er's marriage!"

Just as everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, a cry suddenly came from outside, "Father, please save Sister Shuang'er."

The emperor put down his wine glass and watched Princess Aoxue running up to the hall holding Princess Aoshuang, crying with tears in her eyes.

"Father, Sister Shuang'er hasn't eaten for a few days. She has no appetite for anything. Even the imperial doctors are helpless. If this continues, she really won't survive."

Looking at the delicate child in Aoxue's arms, the emperor's face was full of pity and helplessness. The child was born with difficulty and her mother died on the spot.

The Emperor doted on her very much. He held her in his hands for fear that she would fall, and held her in his mouth for fear that she would melt. Princess Aoshuang was good in everything except that she was picky about food and didn't like to eat anything.

For her, countless imperial chefs were replaced, but they could never make the food she liked. Every time she had to try every way to coax her, she would barely swallow a little. The six-year-old child only weighed three or four years old, with not a pound of meat on her body, and she was just skin and bones. Every time I saw her, I felt distressed.

As an emperor, he could kill others easily and use any criminal law to force others as long as he achieved his goal. But when it came to his own daughter, he couldn't let her eat one more bite of food.

The maid was behind her, carrying a bowl of food that looked like paste, and she chased after her and fed her, "Princess, please have a bite."

Song Bushi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if she is just picky about food, maybe if you change to a new flavor, she will be willing to eat it."

"I've tried everything. I've tried all the delicacies in the world. I don't know why she is so picky about food. I have so many children, but she is the most difficult to raise!"

Song Bushi continued, "How about letting me try? After all, I have experience in raising children. Ranran and Youyou both like the food I cook."

The emperor said excitedly, "Miss Song, if you can let Shuang'er have a bite of food today, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Song Bushi's eyes widened, and he immediately became excited, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best!"

The emperor also held out a glimmer of hope and asked his eunuch to take her to the kitchen and let her use all the ingredients.

Song Bushi followed her father-in-law to the kitchen and asked everyone to leave. She said that her family's secret recipe would not be passed on to others.

She spent more than ten minutes in the kitchen and ordered a family bucket.

The portion was not large, and it was not enough for three children, but she deliberately did not order more so that the children would scramble to eat it, which would make it more delicious.

When this family bucket is served in the hall, its rich aroma makes people salivate.

"What? It smells so good!"

The emperor couldn't help swallowing his saliva and leaned forward to smell the smell. "What are these?"

"Family bucket!"

The emperor praised, "What a good name, let's eat together as a family!"

Aoxue asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

"chicken!"

Everyone suddenly realized, "It turned out to be chicken!"

Ao Shuang came straight over after smelling the smell. She was so small, but she was very compassionate. "Such a small chicken was killed. How sad the mother hen must be!"

"It's okay, the mother hen is here too, this is a chicken family!"
