After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Prince Yan, who had just been speaking gently to the princess, was now looking at Miss Lang lying on the ground with an expressionless face.

Emperor Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

It was Queen Gu who seemed to be startled.

Her heart trembled slightly, and she said angrily: "King Yan, what are you doing?"

He Qingchen ignored her. He took Shen Guiyi's hand and played with it again and again, with an indifferent expression and a nonchalant tone: "Miss Lang just said that she likes me and wants to wait for me?"

Miss Lang straightened up and looked him straight in the eye.

"Yes, Your Highness, I am delighted with you. I hope that one day I can marry the Prince of Yan, bear children for him, and live in harmony and love until old age." Miss Lang expressed all her expectations without hesitation.

At this point, even she herself was moved.

Shen Guidi sat in his seat with his eyes lowered, looking not in a good mood.

He Qingchen looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked.

He was afraid that Shen Guicui would be like Princess Rong, and under pressure from everyone, would persuade him to take a concubine.

What’s more, he was afraid that his daughter would misunderstand something.

"My Lord, Miss Lang..."

"Shut up." Shen Guidi was about to say something when He Qingchen interrupted her.

He held her hand and looked at Miss Lang with a cold gaze. The words that came out of his mouth were like ice spikes piercing the bones: "Don't you find it funny that Miss Lang is pleased with me?"

"Your Majesty, every word I said is true. You may not accept it, but you cannot question it..."

"Okay, let's assume you are sincere. Then may I ask, what is Miss Lang doing now? Following the example of Princess Shuangluo, kneeling down to beg the emperor to grant you a marriage and give you to me as a concubine? Have you ever thought about whether I am willing, whether the princess is happy, whether my father is embarrassed, and... what do the many noble ladies here think? Now that you say you like me, my father will agree to your request and I will take you into the palace? Then, if another person comes and says that she likes me and will not marry anyone but me, what should I do? Welcome her into the palace as well? I am already married and have a deep relationship with the princess. Miss Lang, don't you think that saying this will cause trouble to me and my princess? If you really like me, you should hide this shameful thought well. Why do you say it in public like this? Do you know that your so-called love has caused trouble and hindrance to me?"

"You, Your Majesty, I, your servant, did not mean that. I have no extravagant desires. I just want to be with Your Majesty and try hard for myself. Princess Shuangluo can be brave for herself, so why can't I?"

"Are you comparing yourself with a princess of a country?" He Qingchen confronted him directly.

"You, you, I..." Miss Lang's face turned pale and blue.

Her face flushed and tears fell without warning.

He Qingchen added, "People should know their own limitations. The Lang family is not a small family. Don't you teach your daughter well? How could she dare to compare herself with Princess Shuangluo? Princess Shuangluo lowered her status for her brother and entered the palace as a concubine. Miss Lang, what do you think your position should be when you enter this palace? A concubine?"

The last sentence is a blatant humiliation.

Not to mention Miss Lang, even the members of the Lang family present seemed to be unable to bear it.

Miss Lang's eyes suddenly lit up.

In her understanding, He Qingchen's last words meant that he agreed to let her enter the mansion.

What needs to be resolved now is the issue of status.

The so-called "humble concubine" in his mouth was just a metaphor. As long as her father and brother were still in the court, His Majesty would never allow her to enter the palace as a "humble concubine", and her father and brother would also fight for it.

It doesn’t matter whether she is of higher or lower status, she is still a concubine after all.

What she wants to plan is the future.

Therefore, she asked happily: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that you actually agree to let me enter the palace, right?"

He Qingchen: "..."

Others: “…”

He Qingchen subconsciously looked at Shen Guidi.

Her brows were furrowed and her expression was indifferent. He Qingchen's heart skipped a beat and the panic in his heart took over.

He immediately reached out and hugged the person, comforting him quietly.

The look he gave Miss Lang was filled with a hint of indifference: "Miss Lang's train of thought has impressed me in a different light."

Miss Lang frowned, not quite understanding what He Qingchen meant.

"Father, now that we have come to this, I have a very important question to ask you."

Emperor Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Is there anything about me here?

"Excuse me, father. How did you choose the princess to bring happiness to your son?" He Qingchen changed the topic so quickly that many people were unable to react.

Emperor Zhao Yuan glanced at him in confusion and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

"Of course, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated the birth dates of all the court officials in the capital who have reached the age of marriage but have not yet married, and selected the appropriate candidate from among them. In the end, I will make the final decision."

"So, I understand."

Emperor Zhaoyuan: "..."

I feel like a tool!

After He Qingchen asked, his hawk-like eyes fell on Miss Lang: "Miss Lang, may I ask, where were you when I was injured and unconscious?"

Lang Yue guessed something and his face looked a little ugly.

Miss Lang didn't know this.

She thought for a moment and answered honestly, "Your Highness, I went to Zhaohua Temple with my mother to pray for blessings after the New Year and will return in March."

"Has Miss Lang reached the age of marriage before this? Has she ever been married?"

Miss Lang was slightly startled. Although she didn't understand what He Qingchen meant by asking this, she thought he wanted to know about her situation, so she quickly said, "I am sixteen years old now. Because I admire you, I have never married."

He Qingchen nodded: "Miss Lang's birth date, is it compatible with this king's?"

Miss Lang felt that the questions He Qingchen asked in succession were very strange.

Aren’t they talking about the marriage proposal today?

Why do you keep asking about the past?

At this moment, Lord Lang vaguely knew the purpose of He Qingchen's questions.

Just when I was about to stop it.

But the sweet and innocent voice of his beloved daughter came into his ears: "Your Highness, I don't know."

He Qingchen narrowed his eyes: "I don't know?"

"Yes, my birth date has not been matched with yours, so how can I know if it is suitable? Your Highness, are you going to use this to reject me?" Miss Lang smiled bitterly, with a sense of brokenness in her voice.

He Qingchen looked at her expressionlessly, his smile growing deeper.

"Lord Lang, it seems that your daughter still doesn't understand what I mean. Do you want to explain it to her? Or, do you want to explain it to my father, my mother, or even to me?"

The cold words frightened Miss Lang into silence.

She didn't understand what was going on, so she just stared at her father blankly, grabbed his hand, and asked expectantly, "Dad, what does your highness mean?"

Lord Lang's eyes were full of bitterness, and he pushed her away: "Don't ask anymore. Your Highness, this matter is just my daughter's wishful thinking. When I return, I will discipline her and not let her come to bother you and the princess again. Today's marriage proposal, just treat it as... never happened, how about it?"

He knew that as long as He Qingchen didn't care about this matter, he could cover it up.

Otherwise, I'm afraid more things will be involved.

"Dad, I can't let it go. My daughter, I finally mustered up the courage. If I can't do it today... then what good future can I have in the future? Besides, besides...Princess Shuangluo can do it, so why can't I?"

"Shut up, you..."

"Miss Lang wants to know the answer?"

He Qingchen raised his eyes lazily and looked at her with a smile.

"My maid..."

"Well, since you want to know, I will take the trouble to explain it clearly so that those ladies who have the same idea as Miss Lang can also have a clear idea in their minds."

He Qingchen glanced solemnly at the people in the audience.

Emperor Zhao Yuan frowned and shook his head disapprovingly.

He Qingchen pretended not to see it.

"Miss Lang, you openly declared today that you want to marry me. Then, may I ask why you didn't show up when I was injured and unconscious? Don't tell me why, you were not in the capital. As far as I know, my father was very worried because I was unconscious, so he ordered the Imperial Observatory to select the women in the capital who had reached the age of marriage but were not married. Finally, they selected the women whose horoscopes matched mine to be my consort. Why are you not on the list?"

He Qingchen had seen the list of people who were invited to marry him.

He has the entire list, from the initial selection of those with suitable birthdays to the final selection of those with suitable birthdays, looks, and family backgrounds.

This young lady from the Lang family was not on the list from the beginning.

In fact, there are not many girls from aristocratic families who are still unmarried at this age. There are also people like Miss Lang who meet all the requirements but are not on the list.

Many things can be avoided with a little effort.

For example, one could change the date of birth, spend money to deceive the Imperial Observatory, or hastily make a marriage contract. Even if one could not find a suitable person to be engaged to, one could pretend to be engaged.

There are many methods.

So, what method did the daughter of the Lang family use?

Faced with He Qingchen's question, Miss Lang really couldn't answer: "Your servant...your servant..."

Miss Lang subconsciously looked at Lord Lang.

He Qingchen didn't intend to make up a story for her, so he gave Lord Lang a chance to respond: "Can't tell? Then I'll tell you.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has given me the opportunity to select a princess for my wedding, and there are only four conditions.

The first is that she is a daughter of a noble family in the capital, the second is that her birth date is suitable, the third is that she is not married yet, and the fourth is that she is of marriageable age.

Of these four conditions, one, three, and four are easy.

After all, most of the noble families in the capital have many wives and concubines, and the whole clan is prosperous.

It is not difficult to find a woman who has reached the age of marriage but is not yet married. Besides, my father does not care whether the one chosen is a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter.

Only the second point, that the birth dates are compatible, is a bit difficult.

The first people that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory screened out were those whose birth dates were incompatible with this king’s, or even those that were in conflict with him.

I have seen that list before, and Miss Lang is not on it.

The reason why Miss Lang is not on the list is, according to what you just said, you have already reached the age of 15 and have not yet married, so there is naturally no problem with your family background. Then, the only possibility is that your birth dates are incompatible.

Therefore, I would like to ask, why are you, whose birth date and horoscope are incompatible with mine, clamoring to marry into Prince Yan's Mansion at this time?

If, your birth date and horoscope are compatible with mine.

Then may I ask, what method did the Lang family use to avoid the screening of the Imperial Observatory?

Why avoid the screening of the Imperial Observatory?

Do you think that this prince is doomed to die, and you don't want to marry into the palace, take care of this living dead prince, or even be buried with him? Or is there some other reason that forced you to make such a choice?

Deliberately avoiding the screening of the Imperial Observatory to select a princess for my wedding is also considered deceiving the emperor.

I think Sir Lang is clear about the consequences of deceiving the emperor. Right?"

"Your Majesty, of course I understand." Lord Lang was frightened by this light question.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, tried hard to pull Miss Lang behind him, and smiled: "Your Highness, my daughter was confused for a moment. When I return, I will discipline her and will not let her run around and talk nonsense again."

"I am not interested in how Lord Lang wants to raise his daughter, but I would like to hear Lord Lang's explanation. Father must also want to hear whether your daughter's birth date is not suitable for me, or whether you used some special method to avoid the selection before the selection of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?"

In fact, it was not just Emperor Zhaoyuan.

Everyone in the banquet hall pricked up their ears, ready to listen to what Lord Lang had to say.

Lord Lang glanced at the people around him who were about to laugh at the joke, and then glanced at Emperor Zhao Yuan who was sitting at the top with a gloomy expression.

He pursed his lips tightly, not caring about protecting his precious daughter anymore.

Compared with the lives of the entire family, his daughter's future and life are not that important.

When Miss Lang saw that look from Lord Lang, her heart skipped a beat.

A very bad premonition lingered in her heart.

next moment.

She then heard her father's stiff explanation: "Reply, reply Your Majesty, my daughter's birthday is not compatible with yours. During the preliminary selection of the Imperial Observatory, my daughter was screened out. Therefore, her name is not on the preliminary list."

Anyway, before the selection by the Imperial Observatory, he arranged for someone to immediately change his daughter's birthday.

Now even if you want to check, you can only see the modified data.

It's okay.

Lord Lang was comforting himself, unaware that He Qingchen had a meaningful smile on his face.

"Oh? So Miss Lang must have known that her birth date and horoscopes are compatible with mine? Then when she said just now that she didn't know whether her birth date and horoscopes were compatible with mine, she was lying to me?"

"..."

For a moment, Lord Lang really didn't expect that there was such a pit ahead to bury him.

His face turned almost the color of liver.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally came up with a reason that could barely convince him: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Since that day, my daughter failed to be selected to bring you good luck, and the pain of missing out on the person she loves is hard for her to accept. For this reason, she once fell seriously ill, and later, her health has been fluctuating. Just now, I think she was insane after seeing you, and her words were incoherent. Please forgive me, Your Highness, for my daughter's infatuation with you for many years. Please forgive me a little."

"Is that so? Lord Lang loves his daughter so much that he ignored the fact that Miss Lang's birthday was not in line with my own, and might even offend me, and still insisted on asking my father for this marriage in public. Miss Lang only cared about her own obsession, regardless of the fate, and was still obsessed with entering the Prince of Yan's mansion, without considering my situation, safety, etc. Is it because you two, father and daughter, have gone insane?"

He Qingchen asked with a disdainful smile.

"Father, Lord Lang and his beloved daughter are like this. I think it's time for them to rest for a while. What do you think?"
