Chapter 168: Marrying the Princess
Liang Gui left the palace under the guidance of Yang Kang.
He returned home with great emotion and went to see his son as soon as possible.
But when he walked to the door of his son's room, he stopped again and hesitated and dared not go in because he had not yet figured out what to say to his son.
As a father, he certainly knew that his son had not had much time left, and of course he hoped that his son would recover and live happily.
However, things in the world are not satisfactory.
My son had tuberculosis, which was not cured by doctors, and he also clearly told his son that he would not live this year and prepare for his funeral.
But he still didn't give up. If he couldn't ask a doctor, he would invite Taoist priests, mages, fortune tellers... to do everything he could, and would invite anyone who could ask.
Finally, a fortune teller told him that he would marry a noble wife to his son and make a happy life, so that his son's condition would improve.
Chacha's son is seventeen years old this year, and his biggest wish is to marry a wife.
I don’t know if it was the fortune teller who caught the rat, or if he really had the ability to guess his son’s thoughts, but he hit it off with his son.
Regardless of whether it is the prosecution or folk remedy, Liang Gui wants to give it a try because of his love for his son. Even though he knows that the method is not good, as long as his son is happy, he vows to help his son realize his wish.
It happened to be the princess to be elected as the princess. Liang Gui had an idea, as if he suddenly saw a ray of light in the darkness, and felt that the opportunity had come.
But no matter how much he thinks about it, if Feng Bao doesn't accept gifts and doesn't promise him, he can only sigh in vain.
Many factors combined make Liang Gui feel that he can take risks and make all his bets at all costs, and perhaps he can succeed.
Not to mention, when my son learned that he was going to marry a princess, he was really happy for a while and became much happier.
This made Liang Gui even stronger in his beliefs, and his original choice might have been the right one.
However, unexpectedly, a Lu Wang broke out halfway and disrupted all the plans.
At this moment, how did he face his son?
Heartache! Heartache!
Just as I was struggling, I heard a few coughs coming from the room, and then a "squeak".
The son opened the door and said, "Dad, you, ahem, you are back."
"Yes! Dad said it's okay." Liang Gui forced his son to smile and comforted him.
"Dad, just now, ahem, who is coming to our house?"
After Zhu Yili's trouble, Liang Gui knew that marrying the princess would be out of the blue, and it was a blessing that he could save his life and be impunity.
But this matter cannot be concealed, and it is useless to conceal it. Sooner or later, I have to tell my son the truth.
As soon as he thought of this, Liang Gui pulled his son to sit beside him and said slowly: "Child, Dad wants to discuss something with you."
"Dad, what?"
"Can we not marry the princess?"
"No!" Liang Bangrui suddenly became anxious and shook his hands and then coughed violently, and said in tears, "Dad said, cough cough... I said, I want to marry a princess, cough cough... Dad promised the child, cough cough... I promised the child that he could marry a princess, cough cough..."
Liang Bangrui was about to cough out his heart, liver and lungs.
Liang Gui was heartbroken and looked at her son and didn't know what to do!
Liang Bangrui was like a child who had been deceived, shook his arm hard and asked anxiously: "Dad, why? Cough, why, can't you marry a princess?"
Liang Gui was in a mess. Could it be that he was bluntly telling his son that his life would not harm other girls soon after he had tuberculosis?
Although he knew that his son knew his condition, he could not speak it bloodily in front of his son.
However, looking at his son's anxious and helpless expression, the more anxious he coughed, the more severe he felt. He, the father, couldn't bear it.
He had to persuade him with great sincerity: "Child! You heard from your father that marrying a princess is not good. The princess has lived in the palace since she was a child, and she is spoiled and can't take care of others. We are marrying a wife, not a princess. The princesses are all princess diseases, and they will only serve people and cannot serve others. Let's not marry them?"
"No, cough cough, kid, just, cough, just want to marry a princess. kid has inquired about it specifically, cough cough, princess is very beautiful."
"There are many beautiful women in the world..." Liang Gui originally wanted to say: If you don't marry a princess and marry another girl, but when he remembers what Zhu Yili said and the goodness of Empress Dowager Li, he dare not promise.
Liang Bangrui cried sadly.
He coughed and said, "Dad is a big liar, wuwu... Dad is a big liar, cough cough, I want to marry a princess, cough cough, I just want to marry a princess..."
Looking at her son's appearance, Liang Gui felt that her heart was being stepped on and she was about to suffocate at any time, "Child, our family is not worthy of the princess..."
"I don't care! I just want to marry a princess."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Bangrui, and then he threatened: "If my father doesn't support me, my child will die to show you."
Liang Gui is really afraid of mentioning the word "death". On the one hand, he is afraid that his son will die and the white-headed man will be sent to the black-headed man, and on the other hand, he is afraid that his son will be discouraged and have the idea of suicide, which is not conducive to controlling the condition.
So, his face darkened and he quickly yelled: "Bangrui, don't talk nonsense! How can a real man live to death for a woman?"
Liang Bangrui stopped crying, but said sadly: "Children knows, cough, he will not live long, but he has grown up so big, cough, he has never held a woman's hand. Dad, I really want to marry a wife, otherwise I will die with my eyes open!"
Liang Gui hugged his son and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad knows, but my poor child, you have tuberculosis. Wouldn't you harm the princess in the future? If the child really likes the princess, would you bear to watch her suffer?"
"Dad, that kid, cough, will there be no women in this life?"
"Children, women are all disasters. Without women, men can live a good life." Liang Gui had no choice but to persuade him against his will.
But how can a man without a woman live a good life?
"Dad lied to others. If a man, cough cough, can live well if he doesn't want a woman, then, cough cough, then why do men have to marry a wife?"
"..." Liang Gui was speechless. It was too difficult. He calmed down for a while and begged, "Child, wouldn't we harm others?"
Liang Bangrui burst into tears, followed by another violent cough.
Liang Gui was so upset that he was distracted. On the one hand, he wanted to satisfy his son's wish, but on the other hand, Zhu Yili's words kept ringing in his ears, and he could not harm others, and he could not harm others... The contradictory mentality caused him torture.
The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.
...
On the other side of Cining Palace.
Zhu Yili obediently knelt in the corner, and Zhang Yuande had already left.
Fu Dahai and Yang Kang wanted to kneel with Zhu Yiliu, but Empress Dowager Li refused to let him stand beside Zhu Yiliu.
Empress Dowager Li sat there without saying a word, letting Liang Gui go, and did not mention the matter of letting Feng Bao come to confront him.
Zhu Yili even once doubted whether Empress Dowager Li had any Princess Yongning in her heart? People cheated her daughter like that, but she, the mother-in-law, seemed indifferent. What was it like?
I don't know how long I've been kneeling.
Anyway, after Zhang Yuande left, the warm chalet was extremely quiet, and no one said a word.
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Li raised her eyes and stared at Zhu Yiliu with burning eyes: "Liu'er, do you know your mistake?"
Zhu Yili really doesn't think he did anything wrong this time, he is saving people.
However, no one knew the misery of Princess Yongning in history as much as he did. If he knew, he believed that Empress Dowager Li would not punish him, nor would he look so calm.
"Mom, the child is saving his sister." Zhu Yiliu did not insist on making a decision about right or wrong.
If he says "wrong", there are so many "wrong" things he has done recently, and they are not what he, a prince, should do. But this is his original intention.
"This matter is under the responsibility of Eunuch Feng. If you go and get involved, can Eunuch Feng not make a judgment or make a decision?"
"..." Zhu Yili looked at Empress Dowager Li speechlessly and shockedly. Do you have to believe him like the Hangzhou mutiny?
Empress Dowager Li said again: "Even if you don't believe in Eunuch Feng, don't you believe in your mother?"
"..." Zhu Yiliu was still speechless and didn't know how to explain the argument. The truth in history was in his heart, but not in Empress Dowager Li's heart. How could he argue? One argument seemed to mean that he didn't believe Feng Bao or Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li then scolded: "Even if you want to save your sister, why don't you inform your mother in advance and ask her to deal with it? Why do you have to take someone to privately break into a private house? Who gave you the power to detain someone into the palace without authorization? Do you think you can do whatever you want and do your best to do whatever you want?"
"..." Zhu Yiliu didn't want to argue. If he wanted to calculate this way, he could only stay in Cining Palace all day and wait for death, and would not go anywhere without caring about anything.
However, this seems to be exactly what people expect, but he can't do it.
