Chapter 2 Marriage(1/2)
"The princess fell in love with the young master at first sight. I wonder if the young master would like to become my princess' horse and enjoy wealth and glory forever?"
Good guy!
Only then did everyone know the purpose of Princess Anping’s coming to this month’s review today!
She is not here to judge people, she is clearly here to rob them!
Everyone looked at Jiang Shen who looked as steady as a rock on the stage, and for a moment they didn't know whether to envy him or pity him.
After all, he was the one who became famous three months ago, and now he is the one who has been rejected by the princess because of his popularity. If he enters the princess's palace and serves with that handsome man, it may seem like a huge favor, but it is actually him.
It’s also a clear humiliation!
Everyone was waiting quietly. Su Changle didn't rush him, he just waited quietly.
Finally, Jiang Shen softly said five words: "I don't want to."
Although these five words were spoken softly, everyone present heard them.
very good!
Very direct!
Jiang Shen is the first person to reject the princess so clearly and directly!
Everyone felt that today's scene was much more exciting than any Lunar New Year review. It was also a rare scene, and it was much more exciting than what was performed on the stage.
Su Changle seemed to have expected Jiang Shen's answer, and she was not annoyed: "It doesn't matter, I just like you like this. Today I am here to inform you that I have taken a liking to you."
This should obviously be a confession from a young girl, but when Su Changle said it and everyone heard it, it was more like a curse.
Playing with the princess, if you don't play well, you will be killed!
The faces of the people below were very exciting, and even Wei Taichang, who had been sitting aside, couldn't help but change his face slightly: He had previously intended to list Jiang Shen as his son-in-law, but now that this person is attracted by Princess Anping, if he openly robs her,
It's really a bit difficult for people...
Now that the position of Prime Minister of Daqing is vacant, Wei Taichang is now serving as deputy prime minister. Although he is under one person, he must think twice before he takes over someone from the princess.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but Jiang Shen was the only one who didn't care much. He bowed to Su Changle and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I understand."
Su Changle nodded, and without embarrassing Jiang Shen, he went down to Qinghe Terrace and returned to the carriage along the same route.
She had seen Wei Taichang a long time ago, but she didn't even bother to say hello to him.
It seems that her arrival is to declare her sovereignty to everyone.
It wasn't until Su Changle boarded the carriage that those people dared to discuss in a low voice, but the point of discussion was not at all about poetry.
Azhu couldn't hear clearly what the people outside were saying, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing. She said, "The princess is indeed right, those people are very sarcastic."
But Su Changle didn't care at all what those people were talking about her behind her back. She sat on the carriage, took over the hot tea that A-Zhu had brought, rubbed her hands, and said: "Yesterday, my father asked me to go back to the mansion."
, just in time to tell my father and mother together with what happened today."
Su Changle took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes comfortably, and whispered to himself: "Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen, I must make you my princess' horse."
Ever since Su Changle moved out of the palace, Princess Jin has been very bored every day.
God knows she has two children in total. The eldest son Su Heng is regarded as the crown prince, but he was appointed minister of Dali Temple at the age of only twenty-five.
A promising man has a promising future, but Princess Jin felt that Su Heng, at such a young age, looked like an old man every day and would be frightened by anyone who saw him. Even in the palace, even his own parents were in front of him.
I also didn’t dare to express my anger.
Originally, Princess Jin comforted herself that she had a cute little daughter, but she never expected that her little daughter's personality changed drastically three years ago and she moved out of the house.
These brothers and sisters are really...
Don’t worry!
As soon as Su Changle returned to the palace, he ran to the princess's yard. Seeing Princess Jin lying boredly on the imperial concubine's chair, he called out: "Mother."
"My dear, are you back?" Princess Jin quickly stood up and took Su Changle's hand: "You stinky kid, how come you haven't come back to see your mother after being out for so long?"
"Mom, don't worry, am I back?" Su Changle got into Princess Jin's arms, "I'm so tired, I got up so early today."
"Why did you get up so early?" Princess Jin smoothed Su Changle's hair twice, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"I went to do something big!" Su Changle raised his head and glanced at the side, "Where is my brother? He's not at home, right?"
Princess Jin naturally knew that Su Changle was afraid of her brother, so she quickly comforted him: "He is not here, he went to Dali Temple."
"Huh -" Su Changle breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good!"
If her brother knew that she made such a fuss on Qinghetai this morning, her brother would definitely grab her pigtails and scold her hard!
After confirming that Su Heng was not around, Su Changle quietly said to Princess Jin: "Mother, I have fallen in love with someone recently."
Princess Jin paused her hands: "Is it because Huaichuan in the mansion is not serving you well?"
When Su Changle heard this, she knew that Princess Jin had misunderstood. She quickly said: "It's not that he wants to be honored, but that he is a county horse. My daughter has taken a liking to him and wants him to become a county horse."
"Oh? So..." Princess Jin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her daughter finally figured it out and wanted to get married properly, so she asked: "Which family is the young master from? Let the prince go to the palace to ask for a decree, and anyone can give it to him.
You tie me up."
"There is no need for father, I can do it myself." Su Changle said with a smile, "And he is not a young master. He is a young man who just arrived in Jinling three months ago."
"Ah this!"
Princess Jin was startled. She thought he was a young master from a well-matched family, but he was a good match, but her daughter actually fell in love with a poor man?
She was a little worried: "My dear, have you been deceived?"
Speaking of this, Su Changle snorted: "You don't even bother to lie to me!"
With that said, Su Changle told Princess Jin what happened at Qinghe Terrace just now.
After hearing this, Princess Jin suddenly frowned: "This person is so ignorant that he dares to say such things to me, my dear, why are you not angry?!"
"There's nothing to be angry about, he's telling the truth."
Su Changle snorted softly, "Those people didn't dare to say anything in front of me in the past, but they don't always say unpleasant things in private, and they even flatter me on the surface. They are so fake, they are not as good as Jiang Shen."
"That's right. So what are you going to do, good girl?"
"What should I do..." Su Changle sighed, "Cold dishes and hot dishes."
--
Su Changle originally thought that his father asked him to come back, just to chat and give him some gold and silver to take back. However, he did not expect that King Jin would tell Su Changle a big news when he came back this time.
"What?" Su Changle accidentally knocked over the blue and white porcelain plate in front of him. The maids were frightened and hurriedly knelt down to clean it up. "Father, did you say that His Majesty is going to grant me a marriage?!"
King Jin stroked his beard, which had not yet grown long, and felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty means that he thinks that Fu Yan, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is good and he is a good match for you."
As His Majesty's younger brother, King Jin holds a title, but he has no intention of becoming an official in the court. For decades, he has adhered to the concept of keeping his wife and children together.
If His Majesty hadn't been reluctant to leave his only relative, he would have gone to the fiefdom long ago.
"I don't want to." Su Changle said angrily.
She also didn't expect that in just one hour, she would not only be rejected by others, but now she was also rejecting others. It was really a turn of events.
"This matter has not been decided yet. Your Majesty loves you and always takes your feelings into consideration. Don't be too nervous, good girl. Why don't we wait and wait for father to find a suitable candidate for you."
"No need to look around, my daughter has recently taken a liking to someone and wants him to become a county horse."
"Oh? Which young master is it?" King Jin was still a little happy and did not see the embarrassed look on Princess Jin's face at all.
When I think of Jiang Shen's demeanor, he is much better than those young men!
"He's not a young man, he's a poor man. He probably doesn't have much money." Su Changle raised his hand again and took a sip of tea. "His name is Jiang Shen. Father, you can go and ask around and see if there is any way to get him out of his old age."
Wei Touna rescued him."
"Old Wei Tou? Wei Taichang?"
King Jin didn't know which of the successive blows to digest first, so he asked: "Good girl, how did you get into trouble with Wei Taichang? Although our palace is not afraid of him, he is the most powerful person now."
"Then what's the matter? He is an official, my brother is also an official, and we are still relatives of the emperor. Why should we be afraid of him?"
"It's not that I'm afraid." King Jin was a little worried, "I just feel that if I offend him, I'll be in trouble. Good girl, how about we change someone else? There are so many men in the world, why did you decide to be such a poor man?"
"I just want him." Su Changle said seriously every word.
This daughter has been pampered since she was a child. Now that she said this, King Jin felt a little helpless.
What can be done about the female doll that I pampered?
King Jin could only say: "Okay."
But even though King Jin responded like this, he still hoped in his heart that Su Changle was just interested in Jiang Shen on a whim.
Su Changle had dinner in Prince Jin's mansion again, and then hurriedly left the mansion before Su Heng returned home.
Although her brother dotes on her, now that he has been staying in Dali Temple for a long time, Su Changle feels a little nervous just standing there with a straight face and not saying anything!
Su Changle returned to the carriage and asked Ah Zhu: "Is the Moon Festival review over there finished?"
"Yeah, it's over. The young master returned to his residence after it was over."
"Very good. Anyway, there is nothing to do when we return home. Why don't we go find Jiang Shen!" Su Changle snorted, "After all, what this princess said today was not just for fun."
