The Reborn Widow's Husband Search

"Where did the emperor's son fail to satisfy the Duke's government? Or is the dowry unsatisfactory?" The emperor asked very kindly, but made obedient people dare not say a word.

Shao'er acted like a calm adult before. After hearing what the emperor said, she frowned and scratched her head in annoyance. You are so poor that you can’t afford a dowry of equal value!”

The emperor was choked up, he had already prepared the dowry, well, who told him that he was an old man, he should help his son prepare the dowry, but why should he prepare the dowry for his daughter-in-law!

Regardless of the emperor's expression at this time, Shao'er continued to say: "So the Duke's Mansion can only reluctantly return the dowry gift!"

"According to the friendship between the emperor and Qu Qing's family, it doesn't matter if the dowry of the Duke's Mansion is thinner. I believe the emperor will not care about it!" The emperor still looked kindly.

Shao'er was startled and said: "How is this possible? That uncle will be looked down upon in the palace! Uncle was criticized as a man when he married into the palace! When I grow up, I will find a girl from the family that my uncle wants to be, and no one will dare to underestimate my uncle when I stay in the Duke's mansion."

"Qu Qing's family is married to the royal family, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" The emperor put on a straight face, and he really had the majesty of a [-]% respect.

"Naturally ordinary people dare not speak, and those who can speak are naturally not ordinary people." Shao'er muttered "in a low voice".

Although Qu Yu didn't know what happened before, but when he heard Shao'er said that the dowry had been withdrawn, he thought to himself, could it be that the emperor asked them to come to question them for this matter?Immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is a son who has been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. He can't be gentle and petty as a woman. He is really not a good match for His Highness King Ning! Choose a lady of the same family as the princess."

"Are you going to retire?" the emperor frowned.He began to think about whether he should follow the trend and agree, anyway, he did not agree to this marriage at the beginning.

Qu Yu lowered his body and did not answer.How dare he withdraw the royal marriage? It's still in front of the emperor Lao Tzu!

The emperor thought for a while, "One cannot be dishonest. Since you have already accepted the betrothal gift, there is no reason to withdraw it now. Moreover, even if you want to return the betrothal gift, you have to give it to Prince Ning's mansion instead of sending it to the palace." Come!"

Qu Yu kowtowed with his bowed body, "Your Majesty, as a man, Caomin really cannot fulfill the responsibility of being a wife and daughter-in-law. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"

"I implore Your Majesty to be merciful!" Shao'er followed Qu Yu's example and kowtowed to the emperor.

"This..." The emperor was a little unhappy, what's wrong with marrying his son, and even asked him to show mercy? !

Shao'er, uncle and nephew knelt for a while, seeing that the emperor had nothing to say, Shao'er straightened up a little, and whispered to Qu Yu: "Uncle, let's not embarrass His Majesty, at most, at most, we will stay in the palace from now on , just don’t meet people.”

Shao'er actually said this to the emperor.As princesses, they are not the daughters-in-law of ordinary families. They care for their husbands and children, serve their parents-in-law, and take care of housework. They also have to help their husbands socialize, and they also have their own responsibilities. The communication between noble ladies is also essential.As a man, Qu Yu went to a group of women's gatherings, and the news really didn't sound good.Especially in some gatherings, there are not only women, but also people who will bring their daughters who have not left the court together with a big man. How will they marry in the future?

The emperor thought for a while, "Qu Qing's family is also a good man in my Wu Dynasty. Marrying into Prince Ning's mansion as a concubine does not have to destroy the man's ambition, just like those women. When you get married, I will make an order to let you You don't have to be confined to those customary etiquettes for women, okay?"

When the emperor said this, he had already given Qu Yu great face, and it also meant that there was no room for change in this marriage. Qu Yu could only kneel down and thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Yeah!" The emperor was satisfied, "There is nothing else, you can step back!"

Qu Yu knelt on the ground and didn't move. Shao'er sensed something was wrong, and gently tugged on Qu Yu's skirt. Qu Yu seemed to come back to his senses, and straightened up, "Your Majesty, please allow Cao Min to go out of the city to help His Highness Prince Ning put down the rebellion!"

The emperor did not expect that Qu Yu would suddenly make such a request.After thinking about it, he said: "The situation of the rebel army is unknown now. I will wait for the battle report to come before considering whether to send more reinforcements. I will not continue to send people there at present!" Gu Xingji can't beat him anymore, I will send someone over to help, and you will go there when the time comes!

"Your Majesty..." Qu Yu wanted to say something, but was cut off by Shao'er, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you to leave!" Qu Yu didn't have a chance to say anything, and was dragged down by Shao'er.

After leaving the imperial city and getting into his own carriage, Shao'er leaned against Qu Yu, "Uncle, why did you leave the city? Are you going to leave Shao'er?"

Qu Yu was startled, he was only thinking about fleeing from the capital and these bad things, he forgot about Shao'er, if he went out of the city, Shao'er would definitely follow him! "No, how could my uncle abandon you? It's just a show of loyalty to His Majesty."

"Then if the emperor agrees, what will you do?" Shao'er raised her face and looked at Qu Yu accusingly.

"This... I'll take you with me..." He never thought about this, but Qu Yu knew that if he didn't say that, Shao'er would not be relentless, but he would definitely be unhappy!

Shao'er was satisfied with Qu Yu's answer, and happily followed Qu Yu back to the Duke's Mansion.The emperor will definitely send them something today, he has to go back earlier and wait!

They entered the door with their front feet, and with their back feet, the palace sent someone to carry back the betrothal gift that Shao'er had sent out.This time, Shao'er didn't make things difficult for those who came to give gifts, and happily asked people to send the betrothal gifts to the treasury in the mansion.After the person who gave the dowry gift left, Shao'er didn't ask his servants to close the door, and the reward from the emperor hadn't arrived yet!

Without making him wait for too long, the eunuch who delivered the decree brought a group of palace servants to the Duke's Mansion.After briefly saying a few words about how the Duke Protector was so loyal and won my heart, he began to talk about the rewards.Every time the great eunuch recited a word, a palace official would come forward with something in his hand, and the same rewards would be shining brightly. Shao'er was so happy to see that, when the great eunuch finished reading, he immediately knelt down and said sweetly: " Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

After sending away the eunuch who delivered the decree and closing the door, Qu Yu sighed, "For these things, you sold your uncle?" After accepting these things from the emperor, Qu Yu can only be Princess Ning for the rest of his life !It is estimated that even if he kills himself, his body will be carried to Prince Ning's Mansion.

Shao'er heard Qu Yu's words, and immediately threw the black pearl in his hand, "Uncle, these are your dowry, don't you like it?"

Qu Yu was speechless, two children, Shao'er and Yao'er, one helped him get a dowry and the other helped him get a betrothal gift.Are these two kids so happy to bring him and King Ning together? "Didn't you still cry about my marriage to King Ning two days ago? Why are you so actively trying to marry me now?"

Shao'er sat down beside Qu Yu calmly, "Because I figured it out, even if my uncle married King Ning, he would still be my uncle and would not leave me alone! Moreover, King Ning became my aunt, and I There is one more big backing, and you can walk sideways in the capital in the future!"

Shao'er raised her chin triumphantly and laughed.Seeing his appearance, Qu Yu couldn't help laughing.Thinking of that person's appearance when he was called "Auntie", the smile deepened a bit.

At this time, Shao'er's "aunt" Gu Xingji, His Royal Highness Prince Ning, was watching the soldiers storming the city with arrows.A few days later, the battle report of King Ning's recovery of a lost city was sent back to the capital.

Seeing the battle report, the Emperor Long was overjoyed. His previous worries about the siege of the capital immediately dissipated, and he also forgot that he had neglected his second son. He wished that more sons who knew how to fight could help him open up new territories. Dirty!

Some people are happy and some are worried.The second prince recovered a lost city in less than ten days after dispatching troops. At this speed, the Liaodong King's rebellion will be put down in a short time. At that time, it will be another great achievement. But with his reputation, which of the few princes can compare?

The imperial concubine's father was shaking his head and sighing.I blame myself for listening to my daughter's advice, thinking that the second prince is useless, and giving up my support for him, otherwise it would be much easier for them to win the crown prince at this time.However, fortunately, the fourth prince's aptitude is also good, he can get along like a fish in water in the court where fish and dragons are mixed, and he has won a lot of help for himself, and he is also a material that can take on great responsibilities.

If the father of the imperial concubine could still be consoling, then the father of the empress, Master Fan, the emperor's teacher, almost jumped his feet in hatred.The greater the contribution of the second prince, the stronger the power of the noble concubine's line.Even if the second prince wants to marry a male concubine, so what if he doesn't want to inherit the throne?Don't say that the imperial palace is the inner house of a rich family, and who hasn't "died of illness"?The second prince now says that he is unwilling to inherit the great rule. Who knows if it is for the purpose of stabilizing the emperor so as to control the military power. Maybe when the military power is firmly grasped, he wants to inherit the great rule again?

Taking a step back, even if the second prince really doesn't want to inherit the throne, isn't there still a fourth prince in the imperial concubine's line?That kid seldom talks in court, and his mind doesn't seem to be on government affairs. He doesn't seek meritorious deeds when doing things in the yamen, but Mr. Fan just thinks that this prince should not be underestimated.

"Hey, if the eldest prince has a brother at this time, he can also have a help!" Old Master Fan sighed.The queen is also useless, obviously according to the etiquette system, the emperor must stay in the central palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month, but after all these years, the queen has only one son, the eldest prince, let alone a son in the future, not even the princess It's really useless to spend half of it!

"Father, it's useless to say these things now. Besides, having more brothers may not be a good thing. My son heard that the second prince and the fourth prince had a conflict because of Shaoer's dry uncle..." Lord Fan hinted that father and the others could use this to provoke , Let the fourth prince turn against the second prince, then the eldest prince will be able to reap the benefits!

While all the forces in the capital were making their own calculations, no one noticed that a gray pigeon flew out of the capital with fluttering wings...
