King Ke strode in and saluted the emperor and empress who were sitting on the throne, "My sons and ministers, I bow to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."
After being called up, he greeted King Wei again, "Fourth brother."
King Wei smiled cordially, and there was no trace of the fact that it was his brother who had tricked someone not long ago. He asked kindly, "Why did the seventh brother suddenly come to Fengming Palace?"
King Ke twirled his thumb, as if he didn't hear the edge in King Wei's words, and said naturally, "I haven't seen my mother for some time, so I came over to say hello. I didn't expect my father to be here."
Among the scholars, Emperor Xuanwu liked King Ke the most. He didn’t think much about why he came here. Instead, he said, “Rui’er, there happened to be a public case today. Your wife’s sister threw a hydrangea ball to choose a son-in-law, and she chose Cui Weizhen, but Cui Weizhen
If I don’t want to, what should I do?”
King Ke's sharp gaze fell on Cui Weizhen like an eagle, and the sharpness that appeared at first quickly faded away, turning into familiarity and nostalgia, "In a blink of an eye, Wei Zhen has reached the age of starting a family and starting a business. I still remember that back then, he was still
There's a kid following Master Cui. It's not sweet if you force yourself to do it. Since Wei Zhen doesn't want to, I won't force him."
Cui Weizhen and King Wei looked at each other, and they were both surprised. They thought King Ke came to support Feng Jinqing, but they didn't expect that he was on Cui Weizhen's side.
Is it really not their plan to recruit a bride for Hydrangea this time?
Just as the two of them were speculating, Feng Jinqing spoke again. He never showed any surprise or anger at King Ke's partiality. Instead, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, although the strong melon is not sweet, but this time
After all, it is about my daughter's reputation. If there is no explanation, I will be under the roof facing my wife and daughter at home."
Emperor Xuanwu believed that the world should be more harsh on women, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"
Feng Jinqing had already prepared a draft and said directly, "In those days, Cui Shangshu and Mrs. Cui were called the couple of gods. In addition to Cui Shangshu's talents, it was also because Mrs. Cui came from a famous family, and her talents and knowledge were not inferior to those of men. Now Cui Cui
The number one scholar is young and talented, and has a father-like style. His wife's talent and virtue should be as good as her mother's to win over the public. The minister had a suggestion, let the daughter compete with Ye's talent. If the daughter loses, the marriage will be abandoned. If she wins, it will prove that the daughter
He is the perfect match for Cui Zhuangyuan, and I sincerely ask the Emperor to fulfill this destiny."
Emperor Xuanwu thought this method was good, and immediately agreed, "Okay, I agree. Here, Miss Xuanfeng and Cui Ye will enter the palace."
Seeing the eunuch Chuanli leave, Cui Weizhen's eyes darkened and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, my wife was born in the countryside, and her knowledge was enlightened by students. It has only been a year now. She is really no match for Miss Feng, who is well-read in poetry and books. Please take it back, Your Majesty."
Become your destiny."
Emperor Xuanwu had some displeasure on his face. He had already intended to facilitate the marriage, but Cui Weizhen's defense and rejection would only fuel his displeasure with Ye Zhenzhen, making him feel that she was not worthy of Cui Weizhen.
Although Cui Weizhen is smart, he is younger after all, and his understanding of the emperor is far beyond that of those old fritters.
Feng Jinqing's eyes flashed with joy.
King Wei hurriedly said, "Father, I have a suggestion. Since we are choosing a wife who is worthy of Wei Zhen, why not let him write a test to test Miss School Spirit? This will also be fairer and save us a lot of gossip."
King Ke was given a seat. At this time, he tapped the table with his fingertips and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, that's wrong. There are rumors that Ye is quite talented. Wei Zhen's Xumi paintings were influenced by his sketches.
Today's great reputation shows that he is also a smart person. It will still be unknown who is higher or lower at that time. Why should I ask my father to change the holy mouth? Let them have a trial first, and then we can talk about it before it is too late."
There is a lot of praise in the words, and it seems to be supporting Ye, but it is not a trap - it is telling everyone that Ye is not a talentless person, even if the girl from the Feng family beats her,
It doesn't count as winning without force.
We haven’t seen each other for a few days. King Ke’s behavior has changed a lot. He is no longer as reckless as before. Instead, he is playing tricks. One of him and Feng Jinqing are doing good things, and the other is doing bad things.
Cui Weizhen frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
