Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The next day, the court was as lively as a boiling pot.

At the grand court meeting, the officials were still discussing the marriage.

As a low-ranking official, Zhou Jin was not qualified to be in the inner hall and had to stand outside.

When his memorial was submitted, all the debates stopped and the court fell silent.

Emperor Kangping invited Zhou Jin in and had the father and son debate with each other.

Their eyes looked at Changning Marquis Zhou Ze, and then fell on Changning Marquis's son Zhou Jin.

This father and son started a fight with the marriage alliance.

Even a marriage of peace can be complicated.

Emperor Kangping kept looking back and forth between the father and son. Knowing some of the inside story, he was confused at this moment.

What's the secret behind this?

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze also looked at his son in disbelief. He felt that he had shown mercy last night and he should have broken Zhou Jin's legs.

Always causing trouble for him.

This is his token of allegiance!

It was already difficult, and now with Zhou Jin's involvement, things have become even more difficult.

If we can't facilitate the marriage between Yue and Kang, how can we lure out the mastermind behind it?

Zhou Jin's memorial was well written, stating that if the emperor and ministers of Kangguo agreed to marry Han women to them, the court would be useless.

The words are extremely sharp and cruel.

When everyone saw the look in Marquis Changning's eyes, which showed that he wanted to beat his own evil son to death, they actually felt a little sympathy for Zhou Ze.

Since no conclusion was reached in the court, Emperor Kangping had to adjourn the court and discuss the matter again tomorrow.

The court was weird and no one dared to speak easily.

Back in the imperial study, Emperor Kangping listened to Jin Linwei's report and couldn't help but laugh, "This Zhou Jin, although he is just a scholar, he has the blood of his grandfather."

The old Marquis of Changning had many military achievements, but he did not let his only son learn martial arts, nor did he let his grandson join the army. He also studied literature.

As a result, the Changning Marquisate was not like other noble families, which were either suppressed because of their greater achievements than their masters, or fell into decline because of the lack of useful talents in the family.

His son Zhou Ze passed the imperial examination and became a successful person among that group of old nobles.

His grandson Zhou Jin not only passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, but also a Tanhualang.

Judging from the current situation, it is quite important. The Changning Marquis Mansion has not only not declined, but is quite favored.

Xu Cheng even copied down the poems Zhou Jin wrote in a hurry, "Your Majesty, the poems written by the son of the Marquis of Changning are good."

Emperor Kang Ping took it and read it, savoring it carefully, nodding his head repeatedly, "It's really good, not a sour poem!"

These poems touched his heart and gave him a better impression of Zhou Jin.

Emperor Kangping was so eager to give an order right away to transfer Zhou Jin from the Ministry of Agriculture.

However, thinking that Zhou Jin had finally gotten down to earth, Emperor Kang Ping felt that Zhou Jin still needed some experience, so he had to give up.

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze walked out of the palace in a daze, secretly cursing Zhou Jin for causing trouble while thinking about how to go back and deal with Xiao Cui.

At this rate, the marriage will definitely not be possible in the short term.

As soon as Marquis Changning returned to the mansion, Aunt Bai sent someone to take him to Lanyuan.

Xiaoyun: "My Lord, Aunt Bai has something important to report."

Originally, Marquis Changning didn't want to go, but when he thought of the powerful person behind Xiao Cui, he had to follow her.

Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion thought that Marquis Changning doted on Aunt Bai, so they were all very cautious and didn't dare to offend either side.

Arrived at Orchid Garden.

Xiao Cui is in Aunt Bai's room.

Marquis Changning waved his servant away and said, "Tell the people behind you not to worry. I will make the decision myself."

Xiao Cui cupped her hands, her eyes showing approval, "My Lord, you are very smart!"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze was slightly stunned, but now he has become a clever "fox" and continued to speak according to Xiao Cui's words, "Thank you for the compliment. I wonder what advice Miss Xiao Cui has next? Or does your master behind you have other instructions?"

Xiao Cui smiled. She was a little too proud of the praise she had just received from her master. "My Lord, if Kangguo does not accept Han women in marriage, then Yueguo can marry its daughter to Kangguo for peace."

"Who is the one you are interested in?" Marquis Changning asked knowingly.

Xiao Cui laughed loudly, "Marquis Changning pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. Since it is a marriage alliance, of course it is with the crown prince!"

The Kingdom of Yue was very willing to send a beautiful princess over. If a son was born in the future, he might even become the emperor of Kangguo.

When the Marquis of Changning heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed a good plan! In this way, whether marrying a Han woman or marrying a Yue woman, it will be beneficial to the Yue Kingdom."

"Yes!" Xiao Cui agreed, "If the Marquis and the Prince can make this happen, it will be a token of their loyalty. My master will definitely reward the Marquis of Changning generously."

Marquis Changning pondered for a moment and thought, "I will do my best to make this happen. Please be patient and wait for good news."

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Yes, I will tell the Marquis."

Before leaving, Xiao Cui gave Marquis Changning a small bottle of antidote and then left.

Aunt Bai was waiting carefully on the side, trying to keep Marquis Changning here, "My Lord, please serve the meal. Would you like to eat with me?"

"Okay!" Marquis Changning smiled. He couldn't refuse Aunt Bai and secretly felt sorry for his "kidney".

But at this moment, the maid next to the old lady came over and said, "My Lord, the old lady wants you to come over. She has something to ask you."

When Changning Marquis Zhou Ze heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but pretended to be embarrassed, "Youlan, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

If it was Song who sent someone to call, Aunt Bai might have said a few more words to flatter Song.

But the old lady of Marquis Changning sent someone over, and Aunt Bai really didn't dare to stop her.

The old lady even dared to hit the Marquis, let alone her, a concubine.

Besides, I have heard of people divorcing their wives, but I have never heard of people abandoning their mothers. Even being unfilial is despised by others.

Aunt Bai forced out a sad and gentle expression, "My Lord, please go quickly and don't keep the old lady waiting. I'm in Lanyuan, waiting for you to come back anytime."

Marquis Changning nodded and touched Aunt Bai's face. "Youlan, you are so sensible. You make me worry less. I will ask the kitchen to make you something delicious later. Eat more. You are too thin."

Aunt Bai was very proud and said, "Thank you, my Lord."

Although she didn't eat it, this was the Marquis's attitude.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion can know that Bai Youlan is the Marquis's favorite, and these delicious foods can also be distributed to the servants around him to win them over.

Marquis Changning did not stop and hurried to the main courtyard.

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze and his son Zhou Jin met at the gate of the main courtyard.

Marquis Changning raised his leg to kick Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin couldn't hit me, but he could dodge!

He nimbly moved to the side, avoiding the foot of Marquis Changning.

"Asshole, it's fine that you fought in the court and were laughed at by others, but you actually fought in front of me when you got home."

"You are neither father nor son. I cannot manage you any more. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down in front of the old marquis and all the ancestors, and reflect on your mistakes."

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze secretly regretted why he couldn't hold back just now?

Now, look what happens, I’m being punished by my old mother to kneel in the ancestral hall!

"Mother, please calm down. Your son will accept the punishment." Marquis Changning did not dare to go against his mother. "But mother, how did you know?"

It would be better not to mention it. When the old lady of Changning Marquis heard her son ask this, she became even angrier!
