The Submissive Emperor

"When I was young, I often heard the emperor's grandfather mention General Zhengnan, saying that the general is young and promising, and he is a rare general in Dayu." Xiao Chengjun smiled and said politely, and walked to his princess, "It is really wronged for Zhuoyu to marry me. If you leave him, the orders of your parents cannot be disobeyed, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will forgive me."

Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis hurriedly returned the gift, "It is a great honor to be married to the royal family. Your Highness said so, it is really a disgraceful concubine."

"Yes, Your Highness is polite," the second uncle bowed and clasped his fists, "I am very grateful to His Highness for taking care of me these days."

Lou Jing looked at the apologetic His Highness the Crown Prince, feeling uncomfortable, stepped forward and grabbed the sleeves of the Crown Prince's husband, "There is no grievance, how can Your Highness say that?"

Xiao Chengjun looked at the princess who was looking at him eagerly, and patted his hand reassuringly.

Seeing that the two seemed to be getting along very well, the aunt and uncle looked at each other with some relief, since they were already married, it would be great if they could live a good life.What's more, the two of them didn't expect that this little-known Prince His Royal Highness would be so virtuous.

The four of them sat down to drink tea, talked a few words about homework, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis looked at the handsome and extraordinary Crown Prince, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.Not only is he gentle and polite to his elders, but he is also very patient with Lou Jing. If his daughter married such a son-in-law, she might wake up laughing in her dreams.It's just that Lou Jing is a man, and he is the heir of An Guogong's mansion, so it's a pity to marry someone as a man's wife.

"Ma'am, Second Master, An Guogong's mansion sent someone to bring a gift, saying that An Guogong will arrive in a while." A young man hurried in outside the door to report.

"He's being polite this time." Xu Che snorted coldly.

"Second Uncle..." My aunt hurriedly reminded her softly, and turned to look at Lou Jing and Xiao Chengjun. With the second uncle's temper, he would definitely conflict with my uncle, and it was not good for these two children to see.

Lou Jing naturally knew what her aunt meant, and exchanged a glance with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiao Chengjun got up with the crown princess, "Father-in-law and the two haven't seen each other for many years, I'm afraid I will make my father-in-law feel uncomfortable."

"Father should be angry again when he sees me. I'll take the prince to the garden for a stroll, and I'll talk to my second uncle and aunt later." Lou Jing pulled her prince and husband away from the main hall with a smile.

Xu Che didn't make a sound to stop him, but just hugged the prince apologetically.

This Pingjiang Marquis Mansion is not big, Lou Jing dragged the prince and husband around in the chashou corridor and turned back, hiding under the back window of the main hall.

"What if I let my uncle and them see it?" Xiao Chengjun looked helplessly at the princess who was listening to the wall, and he seemed to be becoming more and more deviant with Lou Jing, overturning the courtyard wall, breaking into the nun's temple, and now eavesdropping on the conversation of the elders.

"Second uncle is busy beating my father, so he won't notice us." Lou Jing said in a low voice, and quietly propped up the rear window with a tree branch.

The voices from the room suddenly became much clearer, and the three of them started to argue without saying a few words.

"Uncle, sister-in-law is gone, Zhuoyu's marriage, at least you should discuss it with us." Mrs. Pingjiang Hou's voice was full of dissatisfaction. The first wife passed away, and the eldest son's marriage should be discussed with his brother-in-law.

"My uncles are far away in Lingnan, and the emperor's orders are made quickly, and I can't help it." Seeing Yu in the Anguo mansion, he didn't feel wronged at all.

"Zhuoyu is the imperial son, the emperor asked you to discuss it, wouldn't you say that he is the eldest son and cannot be married?" Xu Che's voice was filled with repressed anger.

"The law doesn't say that the eldest son cannot marry the crown prince." Lou Jianyu lowered his head and muttered. In front of his uncle, he couldn't help being short of breath, "I can't resist the emperor's marriage, can I?"

"How dare you say it!" Xu Che grabbed Lou Jianyu by the collar and raised his hand to beat him, "The candidate for the crown princess, besides Zhuoyu, is the grandson of Marquis of Jingnan and the second son of Uncle Guangcheng." Son, if you hadn't rushed to send your son up there, how could the emperor have chosen Anguo Gong's son?"

"Second Uncle, you have something to say, something to say!" Lou Jianyu grabbed Second Uncle's hand and hurriedly apologized.

"Second Uncle!" Madam Pingjiang hurriedly went to pull Xu Che, but she couldn't stop him at all.

There was chaos in the room, Lou Jing leaned on the shoulder of His Highness the Crown Prince and giggled tremblingly.Xiao Chengjun looked at the guys around him dumbfounded, very suspicious that his princess called her uncle from Lingnan just to find someone to beat his father up.

It was already dusk when Lou Jing came out of Pingjianghou's Mansion, and Lou Jing discussed with his aunt that tomorrow he would go to An Guogong's Mansion to ask for his property.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Chengjun looked at the smiling princess and sighed secretly.

"The eldest aunt is in charge of the middle class of the entire Hou Mansion. She must go back before the New Year and cannot stay in the capital. While they are in the capital, someone is suppressing the Wei family. It is serious to divide the family property quickly," Lou Jing borrowed the carriage. Bounced and leaned against His Highness the Crown Prince, "Father and uncle will get rid of their clothes after the Chinese New Year, and the family property I can get will be much less by then."

Xiao Chengjun pursed his lips, but stopped talking.

"This family property is a dowry, how can I care about my husband's family like me in the world?" Lou Jing smiled and took His Highness the Crown Prince over, and rubbed against his neck.

Xiao Chengjun laughed, touched the big head that was rubbing against his body, and concealed the bitterness in his eyes.

The next day, when the crown prince went to court, Lou Jing also got up early and took out several thick account books to count.

Among them are the accounts of Suzaku Hall, the mother's dowry, the land deed of Jinzhou, and the account given by the second aunt on the day of returning home - the public accounts of the An Guogong's mansion the year before last, all of which were handed over to Le Xian.Lou Jing sent her prince husband out first, then went to the East Palace to greet the queen, saying that today she would go back to Anguo Gong's mansion.

"Why do you want to go back to your mother's house all of a sudden?" Ji Zhuo frowned slightly, the court has been very unfavorable to the crown prince these two days, what does it mean for the crown princess to return to An Guogong's mansion at this time?

"My son's second uncle and first aunt came from Lingnan." Lou Jing seemed not to see the coldness in the queen's eyes, and still smiled obediently. While my aunt is in Beijing, I have to bring back the dowry."

"Hahaha, you are capable. You have just married into the palace for half a month, and you already know how to spend money at your husband's house." When Empress Ji heard this, the coldness in her eyes disappeared immediately, she pointed at Lou Jing and joked.

"How can the empress laugh at the minister like this." Lou Jing pretended to be angry.

"Okay, I don't laugh at you," Ji Zhuo shook his head with a light smile, and asked the chief eunuch beside him to go to the warehouse to get some gold and jade jewelry, "I'm a man, and it's inconvenient for Mrs. Pingjiang Hou to come to see you. Take it with you." This is a reward for Mrs. Pingjiang Hou, and it can be considered as a way to save face for her daughter-in-law.

Lou Jing hurriedly knelt down to thank her.

An Guogong's mansion has been shrouded in a cloud since yesterday, Lou Jianyu's face has been dark when he returned to the mansion, and he has slept all night without any relief, pacing back and forth in the hall after getting up early, very irritable.

"Why be so troublesome," Wei Shi arranged the lunch banquet, glanced at the restless An Guogong, and sneered, "The son has married the royal family, if the Xu family is dissatisfied, let them go to the emperor Theory, what are you in a hurry for?"

"What do you know?" Lou Jianyu glared at his step-room, "I don't know what that little bastard told the Xu family. The second brother almost beat me to death yesterday. I don't know what's going to happen today." , pointing to his bruised chin, Xu Che's punch was no joke, if Mrs. Pingjianghou hadn't pulled it, his front teeth would have been knocked out.

"Master of the State!" A servant hurried in and stumbled on the threshold, "Three... three old masters are here."

"Who are you talking about?" Lou Jianyu was very surprised, the third old man was his clan uncle, Lou's family was not prosperous, and there was only such an uncle left among the elders, and he didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays, so why did he come today?

"Zhuoyu said that there is a big event in the family today, so I asked the old man to be a witness." The third old master walked in with a smile. He and the old An Guogong are cousins. Supported by the old An Guogong.

Lou Jianyu's heart skipped a beat, what was Lou Jing calling this person over at this time?

Wei's face was also a little ugly, she only accepted the account of Zhuquetang a few days ago, Lou Jing couldn't be here to make trouble, right?Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Lou Jianyu aside, and whispered: "Master, is it possible that the Crown Princess wants to divide the family property?"

"Hmph, what kind of property does he share? I never owed him a single penny of the dowry money!" Lou Jianyu was furious when he heard this. Yinzi, let's settle accounts today and get back Jinzhou's ancestral property.

The atmosphere in the court hall was even more tense than yesterday.

The news about the Mount Tai earthquake had already spread throughout the court, and it was as if the heavens were adding to the chaos when such an ominous thing happened at such a critical moment.

Shen Lian finally had a smile on his face, the matter of the imperial temple could not stand a close investigation, and once the matter of Mount Tai came out, Emperor Chunde, who had always believed in the destiny of heaven, might not be in the mood to pursue the matter of Qinghe.

Xiao Chengjun stood solemnly, as if he could not see the pity or mocking glances from the courtiers from time to time.

"Where is Qin Tianjian?" Emperor Chunde frowned and asked.

Qin Tianjian was kneeling down profusely in sweat, "My Majesty, the sky was gloomy yesterday, and it started to rain lightly at night. I haven't seen the stars yet..."

"Trash, what is the use of your prison!" Emperor Chunde slapped the imperial case, "Come here..."

"Your Majesty!" Qin Tianjian yelled in a hurry. If the emperor is allowed to finish this sentence, he will either throw Usha or lose his head. star."

"Who?" Emperor Chunde immediately became interested.

The left minister Zhao Duan frowned slightly, glanced at the right minister Chen Shichang, seeing that he didn't look surprised at all, he cursed inwardly, this man surnamed Chen has already started to use any means, and the crown prince is in danger.
