Ruan Jiaren is the eldest daughter of Duke Fu, who just reached the age of Ji this year, and she is also the one with the highest family background among the noble daughters who won the rankings during the Double Ninth Festival during the autumn harvest.However, such a noble lady was tied for second place with Tan Qingxuan, the concubine of the Imperial Physician Order, so Emperor Xiao had a deep impression on her.

Now that Chun Jieyu mentioned Ruan Jiaren and wanted her to be the concubine of the Ninth Prince, Emperor Xiao also understood what Chun Jieyu meant.

He didn't want to promise at first, because once Ruan Jiaren married Xiao Jining, then Xiao Jining would have too many bargaining chips, and his momentum could even rival the second and seventh princes, becoming another candidate for the new crown prince.

In fact, with Ruan Jiaren's family background, Emperor Xiao wanted her to be the seventh prince's concubine, so as to help the seventh prince, but Xiao Emperor remembered that he carefully selected a noble daughter for the seventh prince as the concubine, but the seventh prince refused in every possible way. Situation, now let Xiao Jining marry a woman with a deep family background, let him be vigilant, understand that if he doesn't want the crown prince, it's better if there are many people who want it, so he snorted, nodded and said to Chun Jieyu: "Okay, Then I will follow you and marry Ruan Jiaren to Jining as the Nine Emperor Concubine."

After listening to Emperor Xiao's words, Xiao Jining suddenly widened his eyes, and subconsciously said: "Father, son..."

"What?" But Xiao Jining only said four words, and Emperor Xiao suddenly turned cold, looking at him with dark eyes and asked, "The previous Jingsi was the concubine daughter of General Jingyue, she is not good enough for you , but Ruan Jiaren is the eldest daughter of Duke Fu, she is both talented and beautiful, do you think she is not worthy to be your imperial concubine?"

After saying this, Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Jining condescendingly, and pointedly said: "Or do you have someone you like?"

On the day the crown prince committed suicide, Emperor Xiao was so angry that he vomited blood in the Xuanzheng Palace. No matter how much he recuperated after that, he was no longer as strong as he was at the beginning of the year.After the prince was buried, he aged more than ten years overnight, with many gray hairs growing on his temples, and he became suspicious and domineering.

He can't listen to anyone disobeying him now, especially when it comes to the prince's refusal to marry. Once Xiao Jining refuses to marry, he will make him wonder why Xiao Jining refuses to marry a beautiful and innocent girl. Could it be that he is also like a prince? ...to have undeserved feelings for someone who shouldn't love?

Seeing Emperor Xiao's gaze became more and more gloomy, the Seventh Prince tightened his fingers holding the teacup, immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Father, I haven't married a wife yet, why are you starting to worry about Ninth Brother's marriage?"

"Yes, yes." The Eighth Prince also stood up and rescued Xiao Jining and said, "Father, the two older brothers, Seventh Brother and I, have no one around, how come we are Ninth Brother?"

"Didn't you say that you only want to marry the one you love?" Emperor Xiao smiled angrily, narrowing his eyes slightly and said, "Okay, since you mentioned it, today you all talk about who your beloved is, whether it is Whoever, I will give you a marriage, let you marry the imperial concubine with Lao Jiu."

Seeing that the Seventh and Eighth Princes were unable to rescue him, Xiao Jining quickly put himself in together, let out a breath slowly with his lowered eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, there was already a faint smile on the corners of his lips: "Father, my son! I have long heard that Miss Ruan is Lanzihui, dignified and virtuous, and it is my blessing to be able to marry her as a concubine. However, Miss Ruan is only fifteen years old, and the marriage of the seventh and eighth brothers has not yet been arranged, so my son I want to make an engagement first, and then welcome her into the mansion after two years."

Emperor Xiao was quite satisfied with this answer, so he calmed down and said: "It's good that you understand, well, then according to what you said, I will give you a marriage first, and when she is seventeen years old, I will welcome her into your palace. "

Xiao Jining lowered his head, bowed deeply to Emperor Xiao and said, "Thank you, Father, for the marriage."

After the harem banquet was over, Emperor Xiao immediately drew up an edict, and sent the edict to Duke Fu on the same day, announcing the marriage between Ruan Jiaren in the capital and the Ninth Prince Xiao Jining.

And once the prince in the palace gets married, he will be crowned king. Although Xiao Jining is not yet married, but the marriage is settled, and there will be no mistakes in the future, so Emperor Xiao proclaimed him King Shun, and he will move out of Chongyang Palace in three days. Give Jushun Wangfu.

After Xiao Jining arrived in Chongyang Palace, before he could say anything about Emperor Xiao's gift of marriage, the Seventh and Eighth Princes lost their temper first. As soon as they entered the Eighth Prince, they smashed the tea set on the round table in the hall of Chongyang Palace to the ground with a wave of their sleeves.

"Eighth brother, don't be like this." Although the seventh prince was also angry, but seeing that the eighth prince was so angry, he still persuaded him, "If you are like this, if it spreads to the ears of the emperor..."

"So what if it gets to his ears?" The eighth prince dismissed it, "Will it affect me? I don't know how to be a prince, so what does he think of me?"

The Seventh Prince frowned: "Eighth Brother, be careful!"

The eighth prince took a deep breath, his chest heaved up and down, but he still couldn't swallow the breath in his throat. However, apart from anger, he was more sad and desperate. Even though he had no expectations for Emperor Xiao, his father, he Still couldn't help being sad: "Jiu Di doesn't like that woman at all, and he still insists on forcing Jiu Di to marry her. He really doesn't care about our wishes and happiness at all."

Xiao Jining heard the words and hurriedly said: "Brother Eight Emperors, don't be angry, I heard Miss Ruan is a good girl, she—"

"But do you like her?" The eighth prince asked Xiao Jining back, "You don't even like her, but the emperor forced you to marry her, that's harming you and her too!"

Xiao Jining really doesn't like Ruan Jiaren. In fact, he doesn't even remember what that Ruan Jiaren looks like. This kind of forced marriage is more helpless than the modern blind date, but he has already considered this state. Now that the matter has come to this point, he will be responsible to Ruan Jiaren, so he said: "Emotions can be cultivated. Even if we can't be happy with each other, I believe we can...respect each other as guests."

"Respect each other like a guest?" The eighth prince sneered, shaking his head and said, "You might as well become a monk with me."

The seventh prince stared: "Eighth brother, you—"

"That's right, if my father forces me to get married, I'll go to become a monk." The eighth prince was already broken, "Whenever he...doesn't force me, I'll return to vulgarity anytime."

Even though the Eighth Prince shut up in time, the Seventh Prince and Xiao Jining still understood what he wanted to say - it was nothing more than waiting for Emperor Xiao to die.

The Seventh Prince had a terrible headache: "You are really messing around."

"Nonsense? I'm not being forced." The eighth prince was about to die of anger, and finally added, "I'm about to cry from anger."

It was this sentence that made Xiao Jining unable to help but laugh out loud.

The eighth prince's injured and unbelievable gaze immediately swept towards him, and said aggrievedly: "Ninth brother, you still laugh at me!"

"I'm just getting married." Xiao Jining was also very helpless, "Why are you so angry?"

"Oh, I'm even more sad." The eighth prince covered his heart when he heard the words, "Why doesn't your stinky brother understand the heart of a brother?"

"I understand, of course I understand." Xiao Jining walked in front of the eighth prince, looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Because I understand, I love me like my brother, and I don't want you to bother me any more .”

The Eighth Prince lowered his eyes and shook his head endlessly, but he didn't try to persuade him any more.

Xiao Jining said again: "I will leave Chongyang Palace in a few days, and I will be able to play freely outside the palace in the future. Why don't we go to the Yipin Building tomorrow? Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be the only one who can be alone in such a leisurely life in the future. enjoy."

The Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "It's as if your Eighth Brother and I can't leave the palace."

Xiao Jining also smiled: "But it feels different."

"Okay, then it's up to you." The Eighth Prince said, "Let's accompany you to read your favorite script, it seems to be called "The Emperor on Paper", right? Let's go and listen to it."

Xiao Jining said: "Okay."

So on the second day, Xiao Jining and the seven or eight princes left the palace early in the morning to play in the capital. Although Xiao Jining will move out of Chongyang Palace in two days, there are many people in the palace who take care of these chores for him. Xiao Ji would rather do everything by himself, he is also happy to be at leisure, anyway, he has no secrets to hide, everything in the house can be moved at will.

Xiao Jining came to Yipinlou today just to finish listening to "The King on Paper" last time.

The rules of storytellers in Yipinlou are as follows: if no one asks him to speak a specific script, the storyteller will speak his own script, but if someone wants to listen to other scripts, they should take out their wallet one day in advance In this way, the storyteller will tell the book that the bookers want to hear the next day.

Xiao Jining liked listening to the storyteller's stories very much. He felt that when he was speaking, his cadence was up and down, and his expression was high-spirited. He gave the last episode of "The King of Paper" in Yipinlou today.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, he came to Yipinlou with great enthusiasm and sat down. He heard that the scholar opened his voice, and he was talking about the heroic deeds of Zhen Guo Major General Jing Yuan on the border battlefield. Let Mu Kui go find out what's going on.

Mu Kui responded immediately to ask, and came back not long after and told Xiao Jining, "Ninth Young Master, the storyteller's book boy said that an old man booked his place before you the day before yesterday, and asked him to tell the story of General Jing. The order of booking, the "Master on Paper" you want to listen to will not start until the evening."

The Eighth Prince was amused by the words, and asked Mu Kui, "Who is this person who is booking the venue? If you don't listen to anything else, you have to listen to the story of General Jing. Could it be that some admirer of General Jing is spending a lot of money?"

The Seventh Prince also laughed: "Didn't you listen to what Mu Kui said? That's an uncle. Since he is an uncle, how can he be an admirer?"

"This little one doesn't know." Mu Kui shook his head and said, "But the little boy who listened to the book said that the mysterious uncle who booked the place is also listening to the book in the private room not far ahead at the moment. If the ninth son, you want to listen to it earlier. "The King on Paper", maybe you can go and discuss it with that uncle."

"We're going back to the palace in the evening. It's impossible to wait here all the time. Besides, we don't know how long the last episode of "The King on Paper" will be. What if he has to talk for an hour or two?" Seventh Prince Putting down the teacup, he got up and said, "I'll ask him."

"Hey, Seventh Brother, let me go." Xiao Jining stopped the Seventh Prince, "After all, I want to listen to "The Emperor on Paper", Mu Kui, where is the private room that the uncle who reserved the venue is, please take me there. "

Mu Kui led the way for Xiao Jining: "Shu Tong said it's in the No. [-] elegant room just ahead."

The private rooms in Yipin Building are arranged according to numbers, the higher the number, the more money will be spent to reserve the private room. Xiao Jining and the seventh and eighth princes don't care much about this kind of false name, they think that as long as it is a private room, it is all right. It doesn't matter where you sit.

Now, when Xiao Jining heard the name of that old man's private room, he knew that this old man was really not short of money. At first, Xiao Jining wanted to add more money to let this old man give up the order of the lectures, but now it seems that this trick will not work. .

So what should we do?

Xiao Jining was still worrying about this matter, but after the guard at the gate of Yizi Yajian opened the curtain to let him in, Xiao Jining looked up and met Jing Yuan's familiar face.

Jing Yuan was staring intently at the storyteller and praising him, but when someone came to tell him that someone wanted him to change the order of the storytelling, Jing Yuan was very disdainful, but when he saw that it was Xiao Jining who came, he was also a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows Lips smiled and said: "Your Highness, what a coincidence, are you here to listen to the book?"

Xiao Jining: "..."

Who dares to set up the stage and ask the storyteller to tell how heroic and mighty Major General Jing Yuan was for a day? The mysterious man who is so powerful is Jing Yuan himself?

The author has something to say: Jing Yuan: What's the point of listening to other people's stories?Listen to yourself.
