The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and gently lifted Yan Xiaoxiao's chin, seeing the scar on the red lip, which was already bleeding, he lowered his head and kissed it gently.
Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly, and her body stiffened for a moment. At this moment, she seemed to be unable to hear the sound or see anything, and could only feel the warmth of her lips squeezed.
This kiss was very short, but to Yan Xiaoxiao, I don't know how long it has passed.
Xiao Rui smiled and continued: "Stop thinking about it, go back to sleep early."
Yan Xiaoxiao nodded foolishly, not knowing how she left the library.
Back in her room, she was lying on the bed, still in a daze, touching her lips blankly, with a bright smile on her face, like a blooming flower.
At this moment, for Yan Xiaoxiao, death is enough.
......
Waking up in the early morning, Xiao Rui went to morning court.In the past, it was Lu Zhi who came to serve and change clothes, but today it was another court lady. When they left the East Palace, they did not find Lu Zhi, Lu Su and A Zhu.
It seems that the three daughters have already learned about His Highness's gift of marriage, and now they are too shy to show their faces.
There were no major events in the morning court today, and it was over in half an hour.
Xiao Rui followed his Majesty to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but he didn't see Xiao Xiao's figure. After asking, he found out that Xiao Xiao had a cold and asked for sick leave.In fact, the wind and cold were not to blame, it was entirely because she was so excited that she stayed up most of the night, and now she was too shy to come to see Xiao Rui.
While Xiao Rui was studying government affairs, Hai Dafu took people to Zhongyonghou's mansion.
Someone in the palace had already notified Zhang Jinfu, so Zhang Jinfu did not go to the patrol camp. He was very curious, His Majesty could call him into the palace if something happened, and now let Hai Dafu come to the door in person, what is the matter?
Not long after, Hai Dafu arrived. The internal officials and maids put down the gifts from His Majesty, and they heard Hai Dafu smile and say: "Master, are Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Zhang at the residence? Can you please come out?"
Zhang Jinfu was even more surprised, and quickly sent his servants to invite his mother, wife and Zhang Ruoxi.The three of them were also curious about what happened, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
When everyone arrived, Hai Dafu cut to the chase and said: "Master Hou, what happened is that His Majesty intends to bestow a marriage so that His Highness the Crown Prince and Ms. Zhang will tie the knot and be conferred the title of side concubine. how about?"
"what?"
Zhang Jinfu yelled and stood up with a look of astonishment.
When Zhang Ruoxi heard that this was the case, she immediately lowered her head and her face was full of shyness.
Mrs. Zhang quickly went to pinch her husband, ah what, this is a great thing, she didn't agree immediately.
Although Zhang Jinfu is a martial arts practitioner, the woman's skill in pinching people is quite powerful, and it hurt him a little.Then Zhang Jinfu came to his senses and said with a smile: "I would like to ask Mr. Hai to report back to His Majesty. It is the honor of the Zhang family that my daughter can be named a side concubine and get Mu Shengen. How dare I have any objections? I am afraid that my daughter will not know that the rules are broken. If His Highness the Crown Prince is unhappy, I will have no face to face the Holy One."
Hai Dafu smiled and said: "This marriage was proposed by His Highness himself, and His Majesty readily agreed. His Highness and Miss Zhang are in love with each other. Naturally, they are in harmony with each other. How can they be unhappy? Since Lord Hou has no objection, I will return to you." The palace has returned to life. The next step is to choose a birthday and prepare for the wedding ceremony, and I will ask Lord Hou to prepare it."
"It must be, this is a major event for my Zhang family, and we must be well prepared." Zhang Jinfu smiled from ear to ear.
Although he is a military lord, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes in the future. Now that he has become a relative of the emperor, as long as he does not risk his life, hehe, no one will dare to touch the status of the Zhang family.When the crown prince ascends the throne, his daughter must be a noble concubine, only someone in the harem can stand upright.
Respectfully sending Hai Dafu away, Zhang Jinfu said triumphantly, "Your Highness still has eyesight and knows that my daughter is a treasure."
Mrs. Zhang glared at her husband, and snorted, "If you had the vision of a champion back then, Ruoxi would not be a side concubine, but probably a concubine. In the future, you will be the queen, and you will be the head of the country. You still have to be proud and shameless! "
Zhang Jinfu was instantly deflated.
Back then when Xiao Rui was a down-and-out prince, he had a blind date with Zhang Ruoxi, but after Zhang Jinfu probed, he found that Xiao Rui was not simple, he had the heart of seizing the heir, for fear of getting involved, Zhang Jinfu never supported the marriage.
Unexpectedly, being overtaken by Zhuge Yuanba in a corner, he directly made his own claim to promote the marriage between Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying, and the champion Hou who was kept in the dark didn't even object.What was even more unexpected was that the position of prince fell to Xiao Rui.
"Our Zhang family will never participate in the struggle for imperial power. This is the ancestor's precept, so don't blame me!" Zhang Jinfu insisted.
Mrs. Zhang snorted: "I don't blame you? Why don't you say you have no vision! His Royal Highness is the son of Concubine Rong and His Majesty. Others don't know, can't you see through it? Or you don't have the vision of a champion, not as good as others! "
"Don't mention him!" Zhang Jinfu said angrily, "If I had discernment, I would have taken a fancy to you? I heard that you were not a champion and would not marry, but it's a pity that people looked down on you. Now you are disappointed and regret it."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she gasped heavily. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly pulled Zhang Ruoxi away from the battlefield. She was about to be torn apart, but she was still out of sight and out of mind.
Holding Zhang Ruoxi's hand, Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "Girl, your wish has come true, are you happy?"
"Grandmother..." Zhang Ruoxi pulled Mrs. Zhang's arm coquettishly, her face flushed with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang patted her arm and said with a smile: "A woman will never be able to get rid of her husband and children in this life. It is a lifetime blessing to be able to marry someone you like. After entering the palace, you have to watch and think more. You and The girls of Zhuge's family and Li's family are good friends, and I hope they will always be good friends in the future. The prince will be the one who will do great things in the future. If the harem is full of chaos, it will not only be bad for the prince, but also bad for the whole Great Xia. If the three of you can get along well, you can stabilize the harem, which is also a measure to help the prince govern the world."
Mrs. Zhang earnestly taught that she used to be a maid in the palace. She saved the pregnant Empress Xiaosheng when she was 13 years old. After leaving the palace, she was able to marry into the Zhang family, which shows her intelligence and wit.
How many good sisters in the harem have turned against each other because of fighting for favor?
So she didn't want her granddaughter to take this step, otherwise she would fall into darkness all the way.
Zhang Ruoxi nodded obediently, and replied, "Grandfather, granddaughter understands."
Mrs. Zhang smiled, and said again: "Let's go, grandma gave you something. It was left to me by your grandma. Now it's time to pass it on to you."

Chapter 553: My purpose is for money
In less than two days, the news that His Majesty canonized the daughter of Marquis Zhongyong as the side concubine of the Crown Prince spread throughout the capital. The dignitaries in Kyoto sent congratulatory gifts to Marquis Zhongyong's mansion one after another. Now that she has become a relative of the emperor, the position of the Zhang clan has become more stable.
At the same time, everyone lamented His Majesty's great love for the prince.
Look at the prince's concubines, the champion marquis holds hundreds of thousands of troops, the Zhongyong marquis holds the patrol battalion, Zhuge Yuanba commands the six guards, and Li Mingchong is the chief assistant of the cabinet. Is this formation reminding the prince to usurp the throne quickly?
Of course, this is a joke. If the crown prince dares to usurp the throne, those people will not support him. They are still loyal to His Majesty.
The common people and powerful officials all felt this way, let alone other princes!
For example, Xiao Feng.
He always thought that as long as Xiao Rui didn't ascend the throne, he still had a chance!Throughout history, there are many deposed princes, as long as they continue to work hard, they will have a chance to drag Xiao Rui down.But now that he heard that Xiao Rui was going to marry Zhongyonghou's daughter again, he felt so enraged that he smashed his beloved hand to pieces.
Princess Cao Wan, who came over after hearing the news, comforted her and said, "My lord, don't get angry and lose your health. The prince keeps trying to win over powerful ministers. Your majesty won't say anything now, but after a long time, there will eventually be suspicions. In that case, why not kill him?" Prince?"
Xiao Feng glanced at Cao Wan coldly, and said expressionlessly, "Get lost!"
Cao Wan's body froze, and her heart was instantly distressed.
Since His Highness came back from Yinzhou, he seemed to be a different person, becoming cold, cruel, and smart, completely different from the simple and honest before.
And he never entered his bedroom again, leaving himself alone in the empty room.It would be fine if he pampered other concubines, he didn't care about other concubines, he practiced martial arts all day long, and seemed to be in a daze.
Today, she wanted to come here to make suggestions, but was humiliated by him so indifferently, Cao Wan felt desolate in her heart.
Raising her head to look at the prince again, her eyes were cold, Cao Wan covered her face and left.
"Hmph... If it wasn't for hiding it back then, this king would have married a superficial woman like you? Now I don't have to hide it anymore, and finally I don't have to endure it anymore."
"Women are accessories. If you fall in love deeply, I will never make such a mistake! My goal is to become the emperor of Great Xia, and the emperor who will rule China through the ages. No emotion can influence me, nothing! "
