Ministers made me a male queen

Jiao Yun sat there waiting for the banquet to end and was bored. It was not easy for him to get close to Nie Xiaobai in the palace, but it was different when he returned to the mansion. Nie Xiaobai would definitely come over at night, so it is better to finish and go back quickly.

When it was finally over, Jiao Yun accidentally heard the old emperor mention his and Nie Baichang's names.

Let them go to the Royal Study Room?

This evening, the two of them, oh no, and the old rock king, a total of three people went to the imperial study to discuss some matters.

Jiao Yun narrowed his eyes. The old rock king and Nie Baichang had hardly met each other. Naturally, the old emperor could not be one thing, that is two things. Let alone Nie Baichang, he is just a adopted son. , but has no blood relationship with the old rock king, just in name.

If the old emperor was because of the old rock king, there was no need to ask him to go with him, but since he was asked to go with him, even if the matter was related to him, the old rock king, the foster father, was needed to sit in charge.

For some reason, Jiao Yun thought of a possibility.

Coupled with the gazes of the female relatives at the banquet tonight, his lowered eyes darkened, the old emperor wouldn't be so idle, planning to match him and Nie Xiaobai, right?

Of course, he didn't think that the old emperor would give them two, but alone, one for each of them.

Jiao Yun had a dark face, but fortunately, it was dark along the way, so he didn't really notice it.

Jiao Yun could think of it here, and Nie Baichang naturally thought of it too. His complexion was even uglier. He had always been lukewarm to the old emperor, plus he couldn't speak. When he just recognized him before, the old emperor deliberately offered to compensate him and find him a wife. He refused the good marriage because of his physical illness.He can still use this excuse tonight, the old emperor will not force a speechless son to marry.

But he has a reason here, Jiao Yun has no reason, even... maybe the old rock king will agree to persuade him.

Nie Baichang's face was pale under the mask, and the aura around him became more and more indifferent, which made the little eunuch behind him tremble with fright, but he didn't think about marriage, he only thought that the fifth prince and the second prince were at odds, and he didn't even like the second prince. The prince's father-in-law, Lao Yanwang.

Nie Baichang's body shape has not changed, but only he himself knows how uneasy he is at the moment. Since he lost and recovered, he has never dared to think about what happened back then, especially what happened before the incident happened.

In order to drive away Jiao Yun pretendingly to prevent him from being assassinated later, he intentionally "stealed a kiss" to let him know his thoughts and make Jiao Yun hate him and leave.

At that time, Jiao Yun didn't show anything that night, but he left the next day.

He still remembers his feelings at that time until now, he is glad and sad, fortunately he left, at least he will not be in danger again, but sadly, he treats him...but what happened later is beyond his expectations.

When the danger came, Jiao Yun came back, and even later...

After the reunion, Nie Baichang has never dared to mention the events of the past, and he did not even dare to express his feelings frankly, as if it was the same as back then, he is even happy with the current way of getting along, at least...he is still by his side. Will suffice.

But all these things that he didn't dare to think deeply these days, are once again completely in front of him without any barriers, showing everything to him.

Maybe, maybe Jiao Yun's closeness to him is just because he thinks that he is comforted after he is dead, and he is the same cautious as him when he is lost and recovered.

If the woman chosen by the old emperor fits Jiao Yun's heart, what if he takes a fancy to it at first glance?If so... Thinking of this possibility, Nie Baichang's pair of phoenix eyes behind the mask were dark and terrifying, filled with various emotions, but in the end all of them were slowly suppressed.

Not willing, not willing to make him sad, even... This situation may be a desperate situation for him.

Although Jiao Yun guessed it, he had a headache how to reject the old emperor.

He's not stupid, this marriage is probably just the beginning, if he doesn't think of a way, even if he escapes this time, he won't be able to avoid the next one.

If there were too many rejections, the matchmaker he was facing was the old emperor, the most powerful person in the entire Dachang.

When it was almost time to reach the Imperial Study Room, Jiao Yun finally made a decision.Tell him that the matchmaking will end at Empress Qi's birthday banquet. How can it be such a coincidence, or Empress Qi wants to step on him to fill Qi's family, and bet on whether he can get in touch with the old Rock King through him.

Either it is Concubine Ning's people who want to get closer and pull the old rock king to the second prince's side.When Jiao Yun and others entered the imperial study room, the old emperor sat in front of the imperial case and was flipping through something. Jiao Yun did not dare to look up and bowed with him.

The old emperor smiled, with a rare smile on his face, and waved away the others, "Sit down, there is no outsider here." He said so, but the three people present just listened and did not take their seats.

The old emperor didn't care either, his gaze passed over Old Yan Wang and Jiao Yun, and finally landed on Nie Baichang: "Old Five, you are not young anymore, your brothers have already married, and you have a family in Beijing. It's been a while, but is there a girl who cares?"

The old emperor said it bluntly, and Nie Baichang also refused bluntly, shaking his head.

The old emperor persevered, "Father, there are several candidates here, all of whom are very suitable, take a look?"

Nie Baichang pointed to his throat coldly, lowered his eyes and stopped looking up at the old emperor, his attitude of refusal and non-cooperation was extremely obvious.

The smile on the corner of the old emperor's mouth faded a little, but seeing that he didn't dare to continue to force him, he could only give himself a step down, "You child, you just hurt your throat, it's okay if you can't speak. Forget it, since you're not ready yet, let's wait and see."

Jiao Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Nie Baichang's refusal, but before he finished his breath, he heard the old emperor smile and ask the old Yan Wang again: "Yan Wang, your adopted son is really a good-looking talent, good-looking, business-minded Not bad, I heard that the opened Treasure Pavilion is very lively, the princesses of mine clamored all day long to go out of the palace to see for themselves, saying that the things inside are rare and beautiful, they are really heroes."

The old emperor boasted first, and then changed the topic after boasting, "I don't know if we can get married?"

The old emperor asked the question knowingly. The old rock king knew the situation and also guessed the old emperor's thoughts, so he could only bite the bullet and answer for Jiao Yun: "Back to the emperor, he is not yet married. This child has high vision. He thinks it is okay to start a career first and then a family." .”

The old rock king did not want Jiao Yun to be controlled by others, nor did he want him to participate in these disputes in the court.

However, the old emperor was entangled with the queen and concubine in the harem and had no choice. "It's not too late to start a family first. I've been in Beijing for so long, do you like it? I will protect you as a matchmaker." Jiao Yun said this.

Jiao Yun hurriedly cupped his hands, not daring to say anything.

The old Yan Wang opened his mouth to say something, the old emperor glanced at him, "Yan Wang, the child has his own thoughts when he grows up, let him speak for himself."

Jiao Yun lowered his eyes: "The emperor is very right, but...he hasn't met a suitable one yet." He just came to attend a birthday banquet, why did he insist on discussing his life-long affairs here?

The old emperor was satisfied, "There is no suitable one, everything is suitable, I have two candidates here, one is the queen's niece, her father is my official fourth-rank official, she is the second daughter, she has always been gentle, long-term She is not bad, and there is also a niece who is the imperial concubine's own, and she is also good-natured, what does Prince Yu think?"

Jiao Yun lowered his eyes and didn't speak yet. Nie Baichang who was beside him would have rejected him for him if he knew it was inappropriate.

The entire imperial study room was terribly quiet for a while, and just when the old rock king couldn't help but want to open his mouth to protect the adopted son, Jiao Yun opened his mouth first, he cupped his hands, and made a big salute: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, The two daughters have good temperament, good family background and good looks, they are good candidates for marriage..."

Hearing this, the old emperor's originally frowning brows relaxed. The kid was kind of winking, but he was happy. The other two, especially Nie Baichang, almost turned around and left without holding back.

But in the end he restrained himself, closed his eyes, stood there, motionless.

At this moment, Jiao Yun continued to speak: "It's just...it's not suitable to marry Xiao."

The old emperor originally thought that the matter was almost done. He just waited to see if he chose the queen's niece or the noble concubine's niece. Then he would not have to worry about it. After all, this kid chose it himself, and the two concubines can't be blamed on him.

As a result, upon hearing this sentence, the old emperor looked gloomy, but he didn't get angry, "Oh? Since there are everywhere, why is it inappropriate? Or is it that Prince Yu thinks that the two juniors of Concubine Zhen'ai are not good enough for you?" ?”

The old rock king also sweated for Jiao Yun, obviously afraid that he would directly anger the old emperor if he said something bad.

Jiao Yun took a deep breath: "Reporting to the emperor, the young ones naturally dare not think so, and naturally the young ones are too high. The reason why the young ones say it's inappropriate...is not because of their status, but...the gender is not suitable."

The old emperor:? ? ?

Old Rock King:? ? ?

Nie Baichang:! ! !

The first two didn't understand, but Nie Baichang did, and suddenly turned his head to look over.

The old emperor really didn't understand, he frowned, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Jiao Yun rubbed his nose, deliberately shy and a little embarrassed, his face was fair, so when the ears and face were slightly red, it was particularly obvious, matching his flamboyant red hair, it was particularly... said The unknown is beautiful, but what he said made the old emperor and the old rock king dumbfounded, only to hear Jiao Yun softly said: "Because this is not a big thing, it is a small private matter, and the foster father has never asked, so the little one I haven't mentioned it. The reason why the young one is not yet married is that one is that he has never met a close eye match, and the other is that the young one has broken sleeves and only likes men. If there are children from aristocratic families who are willing..."

When he said this, he pursed his lips and smiled, obviously very good-looking, but the old emperor shivered from laughing.

Broken, broken sleeve? !

The old rock king was even more dumbfounded. How could his good adopted son cut off his sleeves?Never heard of it before?

The old emperor was so shocked that he didn't even bother to mention the marriage at all. He hurriedly let the three of them go back first. Live broken sleeves.

He just wanted to give a marriage to a Duanxiu with all his heart, so how can it be spread out?No, when I turn around, I have to call Lao Wu and Lao Yan Wang to tell them that this matter cannot be spread to the outside world.

The three of Jiao Yun were kicked out of the imperial study room. Eunuch Liu, who was guarding outside, thought that the matter was over, but it was a little strange to see the old rock king's confused appearance. What happened to the rock king?This was the first time he had seen King Yan showing such a... weird look?

The old Yan Wang walked all the way out of the palace in a trance without regaining his senses, and he didn't even notice that the fifth prince followed them all the way out of the palace.

Jiao Yun was walking through a dark place, one step behind, couldn't help but secretly scratched Nie Baichang's finger when his sleeves overlapped with Nie Baichang's, and took a quick step after scratching, calmly and The old rock kings side by side.

And the other one who was scratched came back to his senses in shock, looking at the figure in front of him, the phoenix eyes under the mask were astonishingly bright: He, is he really a broken sleeve?

When he went to the imperial study, Nie Bochang felt that he might want to kill the old emperor, but at this moment he couldn't help the upturned corners of his mouth and his flustered mood. He was afraid that he might be hallucinating or dreaming.

And Jiao Yun could feel Nie Baichang's eyes on his back even without turning his head, he deliberately ignored it, and pulled the old Yan Wang, "Father, I didn't deliberately hide this from you, it's really...it's not easy to speak If it wasn't for the emperor's insistence today...the child wouldn't have said it."

The old rock king finally recovered from his trance, turned his head in a daze, and thought for a while, "You... foster father doesn't think anything is wrong, it's just, it's too sudden." He originally thought about waiting for the child's foundation to stabilize , find him a suitable marriage, but who knows...

Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, not to mention, he is only a foster father, and indeed he cannot be the master of this child.

The old rock king sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, "The adoptive father really didn't think it was inappropriate, this is your freedom, but if you like someone, tell the adoptive father, and the adoptive father will help you to ask ask."

Jiao Yun:? ? ?

Father-in-law, isn't your ability to accept things a little too strong?He was still thinking about how to explain this, he was thinking about how to marry him a son-in-law?

Nie Baichang was still floating, but the old rock king's words hit him like a thunderbolt, his feet became firmer, and he looked at the old rock king's back with gloomy eyes.

The old rock king felt his back was a little cold, and he was startled when he turned around. Why did the fifth prince still follow them?

So, he took Jiao Yun around, turned around and left the palace by another road.

Nie Baichang: ...
