Chapter 320

The emperor half leaned on the Dragon chair and slightly narrowed his eyes to look at him, "Why are you here today? I heard that the princess to be is ill again. Don't you have to accompany her in the palace?"

Chu Zongge respectfully said, "the body of the prospective princess is much better. The son ministers are worried about the body of the father emperor, so they came to see the father emperor early in the morning. Do you know if the body of the father emperor is better?"

"But that's just it. The imperial doctor said many times, but I didn't understand it. I'm already this age. There will be a day when the sun will set." the emperor sighed faintly, "but your marriage with the princess to be has been delayed for nearly a year. When are you going to get married?"

"The princess to be is unwell now, and the minister will discuss with her, but it won't take too long." Chu Zongge smiled. "A lot of things are ready."

The emperor touched the Buddha bead on his wrist, "how do I feel that the princess to be is not in good health, but what root of the disease fell in the state of Qi. Once in the state of Qin, there are serious and minor diseases, and even the marriage has to be postponed a lot."

Chu Zongge lowered his eyes. "Thank you for your concern. I think my son and minister have lived in the state of Qi for a long time. They are not acclimatized to the state of Qin. In addition, it is the time of season change. The princess to be fell ill without paying attention."

"I'm sure the princess can't get up for a while. I'll show you another woman." the emperor raised his eyebrows. "Don't worry. This woman is the second young lady of the sun family. She is born in a famous family. Although she can't compare with the prospective princess in terms of her mother's family, she is also affectionate to you."

The corners of Chu Zongge's mouth twitched a few times and said faintly, "my son's ministers are not interested in other women. When my father mentioned it a few days ago, they have explained it to my father."

"Why don't you say you're not interested? The second miss of the sun family is deeply in love with you and is willing to become a concubine. I see that the princess's body is not very good and her temper is stubborn. There's no one around you to take care of you. The second miss of the sun family is just right," the emperor raised his hand, "Which royal family doesn't have three wives and four concubines, and you don't have to bind yourself. The most important thing is to open branches and leaves and extend children."

There was no emotion in Chu Zongge's eyes. "The children's ministers are concerned about the country. They really don't care about these things. It's enough for the wife to have a prospective princess. No matter how many children's ministers are busy."

The emperor chuckled, "why can't you be busy? I'll show you a concubine room. You're only a wife and a concubine. Can't you be busy?"

"My courtiers are really not interested. All their thoughts are on the prospective Princess alone. They can't accept the second woman," Chu Zongge frowned. "Please forgive our marriage delay."

"What I can't understand, but the prospective princess is powerful. You're not allowed to set up a concubine room," the emperor said with a playful smile. "Didn't you say you didn't want to pay attention to children's and women's feelings? I don't know you've been controlled by feelings."

"This has nothing to do with the prospective princess. It's the personal idea of the children's courtiers," Chu Zongge sighed gently. "The children's courtiers only want to be with the prospective princess in this life. Other women can't get into the eyes of the children's courtiers. Besides, being controlled by the prospective Princess alone is better than being controlled by two women."

The emperor saw his unmoved face and slapped him several times. "It's too early to say what can't get into your eyes. It's not too late to think about it after you've seen the appearance of Miss Sun's second family."

Chu Zongge heard the sound behind him. He estimated that he had guessed what it would be, but he straightened his waist and stared straight at the emperor's eyes.

"You don't look back. People are standing behind you."

Chu Zongge's lips pursed into a straight line and said softly, "since the father's body is almost good, the minister will leave first and go to the palace to take care of the prospective princess."

"Duan Wang," a voice like a warbler's cry came from behind, "have you forgotten? I'm Peijiu."

The emperor's eyes darkened, "why don't you know any etiquette? Peijiu is your good partner in childhood. Now that you have a prospective princess, you forget that Peijiu has been silently watching you behind you."

Chu Zongge turned around and looked at her. She was a delicate and beautiful woman. She was wearing a pomegranate red gold silk cloud brocade buttoned jacket and a white thread pick skirt. She looked like a little Jasper. He searched in his mind for a while. It seemed that she was Harajuku's childhood friend, and the woman still occupied a high position in Harajuku's memory. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, thinking The peach blossoms of Harajuku have contaminated themselves.

"It's sun Peijiu," Chu Zongge said with a smile. "Then Peijiu, you should chat with your father and Emperor first. I still have a sick wife to take care of. Would you like to invite you to the palace for tea?"

Without waiting for sun Peijiu to answer well or not, Chu Zongge had already stepped out, leaving only a blank face. She stood where she was, her eyes red, bit her pale lips and looked at the emperor.

"Emperor, why doesn't this king know me?"

The emperor shook his head helplessly, "he knows you. He just doesn't have time to chat with you. I'll ask him to come and see you when his prospective princess is well."

Sun Peijiu's eyes flashed a worried look, "Duanwang seems to don't want to see me."

"How can it be that you are so beautiful and have played with him when he was a child. How can he not want to see you," the emperor smiled appealingly at her. "You'd better not worry too much. The princess in his palace is powerful. He can't get away for a moment and a half now. He'll be fine slowly in the future."

"I've heard of sister Xue ronghua's name for a long time. No one in Kyoto knows her reputation, but her sister doesn't like me very much," sun Peijiu lowered her eyes. "If Duanwang and her sister have a quarrel because of me, it's too bad."

When Xue ronghua came to the Yongle Palace, he was still not well. He was dizzy when he smelled the choking aroma. He almost fell to the ground. Chuaier hurriedly picked her up and took a cushion for her to lean against.

Zhao Qingyao shook her hand in front of her and said with worried eyes, "is your master all right? The palace originally planned to send someone to inform her, but the situation was urgent and had to ask her to come."

"I'm fine," Xue ronghua waved his hand and raised his plain white face. "Anyway, I came in a sedan chair, but I bumped on the road for a while. Nothing could happen. What did the imperial concubine call me in such a hurry?"

Zhao Qingyao swallowed, lowered her voice and said, "do you know what happened to the second Miss Sun family?"

Chuaier's hand shook and almost smashed the tea cup on the table. Zhao Qingyao looked at it and understood more than half, "since you know Miss Sun, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? It's between the emperor and Duan Wang. What does it have to do with me?" Xue ronghua rolled his eyes gently. "I heard it from chuaier's mouth. Duan Wang didn't tell me about it."

The pendant son hurriedly said, "the maidservant also heard from the king."

"No matter where I heard it, in short, the emperor is going to take a concubine for Duan Wang," Zhao Qingyao thought with a low eyebrow. "But Duan wang hasn't told you, maybe it's because he hasn't taken this matter to heart, but this time he will say that when the palace was playing in the imperial garden just now, he just saw the sun family's sedan chair enter the palace."

"Yes, miss," chueh'er was surprised, "Duan Wang also entered the palace today. The emperor is going to arrange for them to meet."

"I'm afraid I've already met," Xue ronghua rubbed his eyebrows upset. "What's the origin of the second miss of the sun family? How can she be so devoted to Duanwang, even if she's a concubine."

"It's said that it's Duan Wang's Playmate when he was a child. Her name is sun Peijiu. Her father is Lord Sun and can speak in the court," Zhao Qingyao looked at her. "If sun Peijiu can really marry into the palace, Lord Sun will definitely be Duan Wang's wings."

Xue ronghua snorted coldly, "this is a good deal. When did the emperor care so much about Duanwang that he handed over Lord Sun's power to him."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Qingyao didn't understand. "However, this palace doesn't think this should be the emperor's meaning."

Xue ronghua soon understood, "do you mean the queen?"

"In addition to the queen, who in the harem wants you to marry Duanwang as soon as possible," said Zhao Qingyao. "Even if you can't get something, you can't let others get it, or it's hard for the person who gets it."

Xue ronghua narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You remind me of a lot of things. I thought that after Li shuse became the queen, she would at most call me into the palace to greet her from time to time. Unexpectedly, she would also install a concubine into the palace."

"The queen doesn't look like a person who will give up. The prospective princess is unwilling to serve with other women."

"Of course I don't want to. Instead of sharing with other women, it's better to live alone," Xue ronghua clenched his handkerchief. "How the emperor and the queen embarrass us is one thing, and the real idea in Duanwang's heart is another."

Zhao Qingyao looked at her silently for a long time, and a smile came up on her lips. "My palace really envies a little husband and wife like you, and my palace has no capital and can only participate in the endless struggle in the back palace."

Xue ronghua smiled and said, "why did your mother think of looking for me?"

"The palace was afraid of the queen and came up with some tricks. We didn't see that we were trapped by her," said Zhao Qingyao, "You have to think clearly. If you do not accept the concubine room, then they can say that you do not have the appearance of a good wife, do not fit to become a princess, can not be considerate of your husband, if you accept the concubine room, then directly insert the Queen's eye liner into the palace."

"I will never accept it. No matter what they think, does my own marriage still depend on the faces of people who don't want to do it," Xue ronghua coughed gently. "As for Duanwang, I'll talk to him when he comes back."

Zhao Qingyao was stunned. "But did the king live in the palace? How did he know about the second miss of the sun family before Duanwang?"

"He went to the palace many times to say hello, and suddenly heard the news that the emperor was going to take a concubine for Duan Wang," Xue ronghua lowered his eyelids. "He was very concerned about me and Duan Wang's housework."
