"I just said that Leng Guards shouldn't take it to heart. What's more, I'm here today to visit Miss Ning. As for Mr. Ling, let's talk about it another day!"
With that said, the two of them had already arrived at the study. He Lian Zhao entered the door and bowed his hands to Helian Mochuan respectfully: "My nephew has met the regent!"
Helian Mochuan was sitting in a wheelchair, looked up at him and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to be polite. You came here unexpectedly. I don't know why?"
He Lianzhao replied with a smile: "The emperor's uncle has been on leave these days and has not gone to court. The emperor specially sent his son to come and check on the emperor's illness!"
Helian Mochuan did take a sick leave, but it was not him who was sick, but Ning Wan. The emperor did not believe that Helian Mochuan would affect the affairs of the court because of a woman, so he sent Helian Zhao to test
.
"The king is not sick, but Wan'er is sick! Go back and tell the emperor that the king will enter the palace in a few days. All the memorials accumulated in the past few days have been sent to the palace for approval, so they will not delay the progress of the court!
"
He Lianzhao nodded: "That's very good! However, the father also wants his son to remind the emperor that although Miss Ning is good, she is a notorious woman. Don't forget, she is the third brother's
Princess, she wrote a letter of divorce on the day of her wedding. This kind of woman is not worthy of the emperor's uncle."
Helian Mochuan sneered, put down the book in his hand, and looked coldly at Helian Zhao who was gloating about his misfortune.
"Whether she is worthy of me or not, what does it have to do with the emperor, and what does it have to do with you? As a junior, she talks about the private affairs of her elders so rudely. Even if she is a prince, what is the reason for such rudeness?" Helian Mochuan
He is not someone to be trifled with. The reason why the prince can be so arrogant is because he feels that Ning Wan, an unpopular daughter of the duke's palace, and a crippled regent are really a mess.
But he forgot that even though Helian Mochuan was a cripple, he was still the regent of the current dynasty, and his official rank was above him.
"Uncle, my nephew just cares about you, why are you so aggressive?" The prince's face darkened. He was still a prince after all, and Helian Mochuan was so disrespectful.
But it turned out that except for Ning Wan who made Helian Mochuan patient, he usually didn't have much patience with others in this world.
"If you feel that I have not treated you well, you can go back to the palace immediately! As a prince, you should help the emperor to share more state affairs, instead of focusing on evil ways. You are not young anymore, it is time to choose a princess.
Yes, the king has already written to the emperor about this matter, and the emperor has agreed to hold an oiran banquet for the prince on the seventh day of next month."
The so-called oiran banquet is actually a concubine selection banquet.
He Lianzhao is the crown prince. If he chooses the crown prince, all the ladies in the capital will probably break down the door of the East Palace.
"The emperor's uncle has not yet married, but his nephew wants to go first. How is this possible? The nephew thinks that it is better to resolve the matter of the emperor's marriage first?" Helian Zhao finished speaking, but Helian Mochuan thought for a while.
He nodded slightly and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true. It is so true. I can write a letter to the Emperor and ask for a marriage from the Emperor!"
Just do it, Helian Mochuan directly wrote a note, and the emperor proposed a marriage to Ning Wan. The prince was also mentioned in it, saying that it was due to the prince's filial piety that the regent was so moved that he prepared to settle the marriage.
In the end, He Lianzhao suffered a lot in the Regent's Palace, but he didn't even see Ning Wan's face, which made him very annoyed.
"This old fox hid that woman very well. It seems that he has really moved his heart! You guys will guard the gate of the palace for me. No matter where the emperor goes in the future, you must follow him!"
The prince returned to the palace to resume his duties. After hearing this, the emperor felt very calm.
"Father, by doing this, the emperor's uncle not only won over Ning Guogong, but also held the Ling family in his hands. If this continues, he may have different intentions!"
The emperor sneered, stood up, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then said: "He is now very weak. If he wants to make a comeback, he must have a backer. Ning Guogong is mine and he cannot take him away. As for Ling Buqing,
Don't worry about a libertine!"
The emperor was not worried at all about Ling Buqing. The main reason was that the Ling family had fallen into decline many years ago, and now it was just a facade. Of course, this was what the emperor thought.
"But Father, this Young Master Ling has moved into the Regent's Mansion with great fanfare. Now everyone in the court is discussing this matter."
"It's just a few words of discussion. Why are you so nervous? What big things can a snobby person do? It's time for you to find something to do from the hands of the regent!"
The emperor reminded He Lianzhao that the affairs of the court had been controlled by the regent for many years. Now it would be good to have Ning Wan come out, so that the prince and the emperor could come to seize power.
But Helian Mochuan didn't take it to heart at all. The person he cares about now is Ning Wan.
"Wan'er, there are several parallel lotus trees planted in the palace garden. They are cultivated carefully. Do you want me to take you to see them?"
