Chapter 1344: Prince Li’s Extra Chapter  Proposes Marriage

Chapter 1344: Prince Li’s Extra Chapter: Marrying

After hearing her daughter’s determined tone, Concubine Zhu asked Su Jinxiu about her plan several times, but Su Jinxiu didn’t tell her. In her opinion, as a mother, she was more likely to fail than to succeed. If she had a plan, she should act on it herself. She must not tell her, otherwise she didn’t know what kind of twists and turns would arise.

Concubine Zhu’s affairs in the Imperial Study Room soon spread to the Imperial Mausoleum. Ah Man couldn’t help but tease Murong Kai that he had good luck with women, but she didn’t expect that her peach blossoms had already begun to bloom.

On the second day after Concubine Zhu returned home in defeat, General Anguo entered the palace to ask for Princess Jiaoyang to marry his legitimate son Zhen Junran.

After listening to General Anguo Zhen Yuandao’s request, Su Jing didn’t recover for a long time.

General An Guo, who was waiting in silence, could not help but shout. Su Jing came to his senses and said with a smile: "I never thought that Ah Man, this girl, is already old enough to get engaged."

Zhen Yuandao did not expect that the emperor would come up with such an excuse. It was too perfunctory. Not long ago, the third prince of the Great Zhou had proposed marriage in the court. The emperor would definitely not realize now that Princess Jiaoyang was already old enough to be married.

"My son has admired Princess Jiaoyang for a long time. After knowing that the third prince of the Great Zhou proposed marriage, he made trouble with me every day. I, the old minister, had no choice but to shamelessly come to ask the emperor to give us this great grace of Zhen Mansion."

Zhen Yuandao was also an old fox. From what Su Jing meant, he wanted to use such a sentence to evade the question. He came with the heart of winning. How could he be evaded by the emperor with just one or two words?

Su Jing looked at him with a smile and said, "There are too many people who want this great grace, but I only have one Princess Jiaoyang. By the way, Concubine Zhu told me two days ago that Jinxiu is older, so why not..."

Zhen Yuandao thought that after he said that, the emperor would definitely agree to it, but he didn't expect that he would force Su Jinxiu on him.

Princess Jiaoyang was carefully raised by the queen, and she was loved by the emperor for many years before. She is a figure like the pearl of Bei'an. How can Su Jinxiu compare to her?

"Your Majesty, this Princess Jinxiu is also good, but my unpromising boy has his eyes on Princess Jiaoyang, and this old minister can't do anything about it." Now there is no time to ask for Princess Jiaoyang to marry. The most urgent thing is to completely exclude Su Jinxiu first.

"General Anguo, do you know your crime?" The faint voice, without anger, makes people shudder.

"Your Majesty, I don't dislike Princess Jinxiu. It's just that marriage is a matter of mutual consent. I, your unfilial son..."

"That's not what I said." Su Jing's voice was still indifferent and cold, making people dare not touch it.

"I am guilty, I..."

Zhen Yuandao didn't know that there was anything else besides what he said just now that his son didn't like Princess Jinxiu.

"Your Majesty, I am a rough man, and it is inevitable that I don't consider what I do and say, but I have no unfilial heart. Please understand."

"My queen's body is still warm, and Princess Jiaoyang is still guarding the imperial mausoleum."

After Su Jing finished speaking, Zhen Yuandao was already covered in cold sweat. It was rumored outside that the emperor was ruthless to the queen. Judging from the emperor's words and deeds, he didn't even feel too sad when the queen passed away, so they ignored the so-called rules.

After the queen passed away, there could be no happy events in the country for a year, and all the princesses and princes in the palace mourned for the queen for three years.

If you ask to marry a princess during the queen's mourning period, it would be a huge crime if it was spread out.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. I am in a state of panic. I..."

"General Anguo, you have been away from home for many years with illness. It is understandable that you don't know the rules of the court. However, this is just one time. It will not happen again."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty." Zhen Yuandao knelt on the ground, sweating profusely. He left in a hurry until the emperor told him to leave.

No one noticed that when he left the palace, he did not look terrified or worried. Instead, he was more resolute and vicious, as if he was going to kill someone.
