Chapter 1388: Prince Li’s Extra: Disobeying the Emperor’s Order

Zhen Junran's words were resolute, as if he had decided on Princess Jiaoyang.

Zhen Yuandao looked at his son with some hesitation, while Madam Zhen couldn't bear to see her son being wronged, so she couldn't help but say to Zhen Yuandao: "Master, can you go and talk to the emperor and ask him to replace the princess with Ah Man? Although Ah Man is spoiled, she is kind-hearted and a good child. Princess Jinxiu has too many thoughts. It is said that you should marry a virtuous wife. Let's..."

"Father, I will not marry Princess Jiaoyang. You promised me before that you would let me learn how to lead troops and fight from you. You will do your best to fulfill my wish in marriage."

Zhen Junran listened to his mother speaking for him, as if he saw hope, and looked at his father with expectation.

Zhen Yuandao was still thinking about the emperor's intentions in his heart, but now that his wife and children said that, he felt a little resentful in his heart. He clearly said that he wanted to marry Princess Jiaoyang, but the emperor threw Princess Jinxiu to their house.

Princess Jiaoyang is the legitimate daughter of the queen. She is of noble status and has a clear mind. Many wealthy ladies are looking forward to having a daughter-in-law like her. Princess Jinxiu, although she is also a princess, her mother is an unpopular concubine. Moreover, Princess Jinxiu has too many small thoughts and tricks. Many aristocratic families avoid her.

Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. Their Zhen family has only started to rise in his generation. How can they let Princess Jinxiu ruin the inheritance?

Madam Zhen naturally saw Zhen Yuandao's hesitation. She hurriedly said: "Master, you hope that our Jun Ran will fight on the battlefield like you, but if that happens, the mistress of the mansion cannot be jealous and confused. Princess Jinxiu, absolutely not."

This time, Madam Zhen has already used a tone of negotiation and testing. What she said is absolutely not possible.

"Father, the emperor is very fond of you. Maybe he is not thoughtful enough. You..."

Zhen Yuandao was brave on the battlefield, but he was also a straightforward and reckless man. At this moment, he was encouraged by his wife and son. He felt that his blood was boiling and he hurriedly got up and went to the direction of the palace.

Seeing his father in a hurry, Zhen Junran's heart was completely relieved. Mrs. Zhen even told Zhen Junran directly that he should rest assured because his father had been loyal all these years and the emperor was the most fond of him.

Zhen Yuandao's passion had cooled down when he walked to the palace gate. He always felt that the emperor's marriage was strange. He even wanted to go back and discuss it with several staff members in the mansion, but thinking of his wife and children's eager eyes, he finally entered the palace.

After seeing Su Jing, Zhen Yuandao knelt on the ground and cried about how difficult it was for him to guard the border for the country all these years.

Su Jing also understood his intention at this time, but did not say it clearly. He only said that he, as an emperor, had wronged his subjects.

"Your Majesty, I have no grievances for serving the country and the people. I just feel sorry for my wife and children. They have been worried about me for these years, and it is rare for our family to be reunited."

"Your Majesty, please fulfill my kindness and let Princess Jiaoyang marry into our Zhen family."

Zhen Yuandao's preparations were all for this request. Su Jing naturally understood. He looked at Zhen Yuandao quietly and did not speak for a long time.

He didn't know that the General Anguo, whom he had favored for these years, had already ignored him and the imperial power.

It is a great honor for the princess to marry. It would be fine if he didn't say that he came to thank him, but he was picky about his own princess. It's really...

"Your Majesty, my son and Princess Jiaoyang are childhood sweethearts. The two have long been deeply in love. Your Majesty is willing to let the princess marry into the Zhen family, so let's fulfill the infatuation of the two children."

Su Jing's face changed again and again. He had heard too many words like "deeply in love" in the past few days, and for a while he felt that this word had become derogatory.

Childhood sweethearts? Ah Man's childhood playmate was Chu Nanfeng, not Zhen Junran. The Zhen family only rose in the past two years, and only then were they eligible to attend the palace banquet and meet Ah Man. Their deep love only took two or three years.

Moreover, he knew the truth. Ah Man was probably thinking of only Murong Kai.
