Chapter 329 I Won’t Marry Without a Wish
Sitting in the carriage arranged by Chen Shan, Huamei felt a little uneasy.
Especially since Xuyuan remained silent, Huamei didn't know what to say.
Seeing that they were about to reach Xu's house, Huamei finally mustered up the courage to say, "Miss, I was wrong."
As a slave, she really shouldn't interfere with her master's behavior.
What's more, the person she was bossing around was the prince.
What if King Cheng makes things difficult for Xu Yuan?
But as a woman, Huamei couldn't just turn a blind eye to all this.
Maybe it was because Xu Yuan was brought up as a boy, so she had no sense of propriety when interacting with men, but Huamei couldn't stand it.
It would be fine if she had an engagement with Prince Cheng, as others would just think that the two of them were cultivating a relationship.
But there is nothing between the two of them.
If it doesn't come true, if I make a wish and want to meet other people in the future, I'm afraid they will criticize me.
"you are right."
Xu Yuan originally wanted to talk to Huamei about it after returning home, but when he heard Huamei bring it up on her own initiative, he felt it was not good to remain silent.
Xu Yuan said, "You know, I was brought up as a man since I was a child. I am used to traveling with men. You are right. Without an engagement, I should keep my distance from His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, so as not to make people think that I am fickle and shameless."
Hearing the last few words, Huamei denied repeatedly: "Miss is not shameless, Miss is just, just..."
Huamei didn’t know what to say next.
But she knew that making a wish was not a shameless thing.
I went to Prince Cheng's Mansion because I wanted to persuade Shen Yichuan.
Huamei also noticed that the two of them were in love with each other.
But that person is King Cheng.
It’s hard to say what happens in the imperial family.
"No need to just say that." Xu Yuan smiled, pinched Huamei's cheek and said, "Okay, I didn't think too much about it, and you don't have to panic. I think what you said is quite right. Even if the emperor grants the marriage, my father must agree. After all..."
The Xu family and the Bei family also have a feud over extermination.
Xu Yuan didn’t know what Xu Wenxian was thinking, but she knew that persuading the emperor was not an easy task.
If she wants to be with Beiyao, she still has a long way to go.
-
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Upon hearing that Bei Yao had returned to the palace to report, the emperor dismissed all the ministers who were discussing matters and ordered people to prepare breakfast. Only then did he wait for his son to return with peace of mind.
He and the queen had only two sons.
The eldest son is Beiyuan and the second son is Beiyao.
The year Bei Yao was born, he went north to quell the rebellion and won a great victory.
At that time, there were rumors that Beiyao was a lucky star that came to earth and protected the Tianqi royal family.
Sure enough, from then on, Tianqi enjoyed good weather and prosperity.
People always need psychological comfort.
Beiyao is his psychological comfort.
The emperor did not ask for much, or even anything, from his son. He only hoped that he would grow up safely, healthily and happily.
Everything was exactly as he had imagined. The eldest son was the crown prince, and he worked hard to govern the country, enjoying a great reputation among the people. Although the second son did not have great ambitions, he had no intention of fighting for power. The two brothers lived in harmony, and there was no dispute over the throne at all.
Even if one day he grows old and dies, and Bei Yuan succeeds to the throne, Bei Yao's status will not be affected.
Beiyao's life will be smooth.
Until the emperor learned that the Northern Yuan Dynasty intended to rebel.
All the things he had fantasized about for so many years were like bubbles, shattered overnight.
And this child, whom he ignored, took on the burden on his shoulders.
He didn't know when the prince had the intention of rebellion, and he didn't know when Bei Yao had transformed from an unlearned and dissolute prince into the resourceful and talented general he is today.
The emperor sighed and lamented that he had neglected to discipline his two children, so that he had never seen any changes in them.
But now it is different. The emperor is ready to make good use of Bei Yao.
This is the perfect candidate for crown prince in his mind.
Only by handing the world over to Bei Yao can Bei Yuan enjoy his old age.
The door of the imperial study was open.
There was no eunuch to announce it. Bei Yao stood outside the door for a long time. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a trance, he slowly walked in, coughed lightly and said, "Your son greets you, father."
The emperor came back to his senses and asked, "It's been a hard journey. Are you injured?"
After saying this, the emperor grabbed Beiyao's shoulders and stared at him from head to toe. Finally, he said, "Fortunately, he didn't lose any limbs or get injured."
"I will be the commander-in-chief when I go to the battlefield, so I won't go to the front line." Bei Yao said, and then said, "I am sorry to have made you worried."
In a war, no one just talks. He has fought before.
The emperor knew that Bei Yao was trying to appease him.
Although he knew what was going on, the emperor was still very pleased: "You are my father's son, how can I not worry?"
"That's right." Bei Yao nodded.
After that, he described in detail the battle in the south, and who was guarding the city of Feishui now. Finally, he changed the subject and asked, "Father said before that as long as we win the battle in the south, he will grant me a wish."
The emperor paused holding the orange and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
The emperor had long forgotten this wish.
For Beiyao, there are only two things he wants.
One is to marry Xuyuan.
The position of second crown prince.
The woman who wished to be his concubine was brave, resourceful, and talented, and was comparable to men. The emperor was very satisfied to have such a concubine.
What's more, now that Xu Ze has returned to Beijing, the Xu family seems to be making a comeback. Marrying Xu Yuan at this moment will be the greatest help to Bei Yao's ascension to the throne.
As for the position of crown prince.
Even if Beiyao didn't mention it, the emperor was going to bring up the matter at tomorrow's morning court session. This was what Beiyao deserved.
No matter what Beiyao proposed, the emperor would agree.
But he was a little unhappy because Bei Yao specifically brought up this matter.
This made him feel that the image of him in Beiyao's mind was that of a person who did not keep his word.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to grant me a marriage." Bei Yao stood up straight, bowed and clasped his fists.
"Whose daughter?"
"Xu family."
"Okay." The emperor nodded.
The emperor agreed so quickly that Bei Yao was a little confused.
He always felt that this was a difficult matter, or at least not easy.
Before Bei Yao could figure out why, the emperor spoke again, which just happened to resolve his doubts.
"You have already reached the age to marry and take concubines. When you were your age, your brother had already married Qi into the Prince's Mansion. It's a pity that he was unlucky and has no children to date." The emperor sighed.
Beiyao didn't respond.
The emperor continued, "Since you want to marry, then marry both the principal and the concubine. The Qi family also has a legitimate daughter, and your father thinks she is quite good. Let's arrange the two marriages at the same time."
Beiyao's smile slowly faded. He looked at the emperor and asked, "Father, do you want me to marry two women at the same time?"
"Isn't this right?" The emperor looked at Bei Yao, quite puzzled: "Since ancient times, which man did not have three wives and four concubines? Moreover, you are a prince. Have you ever seen a royal descendant who only married one woman in his life?"
"If I want to marry you, I will marry you. I will never marry Qi Shengzhu." Bei Yao looked at the emperor coldly and said directly: "I will not marry unless I make a wish."
