"How presumptuous! Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents. How can it be your turn to decide?" Su Guogong was refuted by his daughter in public, and his expression was unbearable.
Every official present looked at him with strange expressions. How could a normal father marry his biological daughter to such a family?
The only possibility is to sell their daughter. The Su family broke the rules in front of the emperor twice in a row and was dismissed from their official positions. It becomes clear when you think about the amount of betrothal gifts sent by the Zhongyi Houfu.
Su Yining is not a good-tempered person, and Mrs. Yan never retaliates when she says something virtuous to her left or right. This vicious woman went to pay homage to the Buddha and still can't get rid of some of her anger.
After returning from the monastery, her temper became even worse, even more unreasonable, and she was so cold and callous towards her daughter.
"Essential? Mother, are you saying that a girl must be virtuous when she gets married?" She tilted her head in confusion, her big eyes with slit pupils fluttering, like a curious baby.
Because of the emperor's face, Mrs. Yan agreed in a not-so-good tone: "Of course, Xiao Ning, although I am your stepmother, as a mother, I still want to warn you that you must be virtuous and know how to support your husband's family!"
"I understand, thank you for your teachings, mother! I will find several concubines for Han Yunshen..." The last sentence was so aggrieved that my mouth curled up, very reluctantly.
What does the emperor hate the most? That is the fact that Han Yunshen gave birth to a child. The reason why he married a fool was because he could not have children. After all, the fool knows nothing and has no scheming ideas.
"Nonsense! Su Yan, what you said seems to be correct, but these words are not what a mother should say. You are not a good mother!"
The emperor immediately characterized her as soon as he spoke, which was equivalent to acknowledging what happened to Su Jinshuang.
"Your daughter was newly married, so you asked her to be a concubine for her husband. Today, your third daughter got married and was beaten by her husband without even entering the bridal chamber. You didn't even say a word of concern. I'm so disappointed!"
"What kind of good students can be educated by a cold family? In my opinion, the men in Su Guogong's mansion still don't want to go to school, their heads are full of heresies and heresies!"
Su Zhenguo was shocked! How could this be possible? He still expected his son to inherit the title and carry forward the family. If he could produce a few champions, that would be the icing on the cake!
One thing he found very strange was that every time the family entered the palace, there would definitely be a problem. The problem was that the emperor would condone their chatting.
Looking at the current form...he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He must not be a fool to become the Minister of the Ministry of Finance at such a young age. An idea suddenly came to his mind.
Cut off the title!
The Chengtian Dynasty has existed for a long time, so there are many royal families. The annual reward is a large expense. Now the national treasury is not rich...
Su Zhenguo's expression changed drastically. He raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, who happened to also look over.
This look at the other person seemed to see what was in his heart. Jun Wenbo's eyes were like abyss, making it difficult to see emotions.
"Xiao Ning, you don't have to listen to her. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to endure it if you feel wronged because I make the decision for you! Just be happy!"
The emperor's next words shocked everyone: "If there is even one person in the capital who dares to show mercy to you, I will not let him go if he is the first!"
Wu Xing and others frowned when they heard this. Is it good or bad for Princess Zhan to get this Su Rong?
Even Su Yining was surprised. Did the emperor take the wrong medicine? What was his plan?
She smiled innocently, looking a little silly: "Hey, thank you, Uncle Emperor."
Su Yining's crazy behavior was very obvious. As soon as he heard that someone was making the decision for him, he immediately raised his little tail.
The Supreme Cylinder said to the emperor: "Uncle, my mother said that women must be virtuous, so could you please find some beautiful sisters for my father?"
When Jun Wenbo heard this, his gloomy handsome face showed a hearty smile: "Hahaha, Xiaoning, you are such a living treasure! I'm sure!"
When Yan heard this, she dared not say anything but was angry. She secretly thought about how to deal with those bitches.
Then she came up with a new trick: "Uncle, I have several older brothers. Although they were born as commoners, they have never had the opportunity to go to school. Can you let them go to school!"
As soon as these words came out, Yan's face suddenly changed, her face was pale, her lips were pursed, her eyes were red and bloodshot like ferocious snakes.
"Oh? The concubine of the Duke's mansion can't go to school? Su Zhenguo, you are so good. You can clearly distinguish between concubine and concubine!"
The emperor raised a sneer, he was just a concubine! He had put in so much effort to ascend the throne, but now he felt uncomfortable in his heart when someone treated his concubine so harshly.
Su Zhenguo wiped the cold sweat off his head, bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the education of the children in the concubine has always been managed by the mistress. As a father, I have indeed been negligent."
"Since you have been negligent, you have to make a show of it. If a family only allows the legitimate son to stand out, then the family will come to an end!" The emperor's tone softened slightly, giving Su Zhenguo a glimmer of hope.
"You are also a veteran. It must have been almost twenty years since you became an official. When I ascended the throne and you took office, you helped me a lot!"
The emperor couldn't help but sigh that time had passed so quickly, and he chatted a few more everyday things, but the Zhongyi Marquis on the other side didn't even look at him.
It seemed that he had forgotten that there were still things to deal with, so everyone could only laugh.
How did you know that the conversation changed and he said to Chen Xing, Marquis of Zhongyi: "Marquis Zhongyi, why do you still remember why your family got this name?"
Chen Xing's sensitive nerves were always tense. When asked by the emperor, he immediately replied: "Returning to the emperor, it was because my great-grandfather saved Emperor Taizu that he was given the title of Marquis of Zhongyi."
"Yes, when Zhongyi Hou Yi Bo Yuntian broke into the enemy alone to rescue Emperor Taizu, he was such a man!" The emperor sighed, staring at him, waiting for him to say the following words.
Chen Xing's scalp was numb. He didn't know whether he should be humble or go with the flow.
In the end, he chose humility: "The abilities of our ancestors are not half as good as those of our younger generation. The incompetence of our younger generation has brought shame to our ancestors!"
"Bang!" The tea cup fell heavily on the table.
Jun Wenbo suddenly got angry and said in a deep voice: "Since you know that you are incompetent! How can you still have the nerve to continue to be a loyal and righteous marquis? Do you not deserve the name?"
Chen Xing wished he could beat himself to death. He had known that he was not humble. Now he was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer the emperor's words.
Glancing at the pig-headed son next to him, he suddenly realized. From his attitude just now, he understood that Princess Zhan was someone who could not be offended.
The knees on the ground squirmed a few times, and he kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have failed to teach my son well, so I should be punished. I have asked for a reduction in rank."
