Chapter 388 Marriage Grant
So we can’t choose a principal wife now.
Bei Jingchu had no objection, and the Ministry of Rites immediately received the imperial decree to select a concubine for the crown prince.
It was like throwing a stone into a lake, causing the people who were eyeing the prince's backyard to act quickly.
In the past, the sons of the Vietnamese nobles were trained by their families, and they were either civil or military, or at the very least, they went into business.
If you can't do anything, it's okay to just be a playboy who doesn't cause trouble.
Ever since Bei Jing first entered the East Palace, the playboys have had a new path.
If you are a little better looking, learn how to capture a woman's heart.
Seducing the prince is also a path to wealth and glory!
Xu Lanqi, who had been prepared, quickly went to the emperor to fulfill his promise and reminded him, "Didn't Your Majesty agree to give my son the title of a legitimate wife?"
"That boy's love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is evident to all. I have often reminded him to be sensible and not to be jealous."
"Let him be the prince's husband. He will definitely help relieve your highness' worries and set a good example."
The humble stele was still reminding him, in both explicit and implicit ways: Didn't you say that you would give my son a position as the crown prince's wife? Don't deny it now.
Bei Heng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
"The prince has his own ideas and does not want to marry a principal wife."
"If Cheng Zhou is willing to wait until the prince figures it out, that's fine, but he'll have to wait a few more years."
He raised his sleeves and sighed, "It's also my fault that I haven't appointed a queen yet, setting a bad example for the prince."
This is to remind Xu Lanqi that as long as the prince is willing to get married, I will arrange a marriage for your son.
But you see, I have lived for almost forty years and have not yet had a queen, and I guess the crown prince will not be able to do so either. If you insist on waiting for this position, you probably won’t get it.
Xu Lanqi secretly cursed the old thief for being insidious.
What can he do? He can only accept it!
He took advantage of the situation and asked for a concubine's marriage.
Because Bei Heng felt guilty about his slip of the tongue, he wrote an imperial edict out of respect and rewarded Xu Chengzhou with a lot of things to show his appreciation for him.
Xu Lanqi seemed to accept it reluctantly.
After he walked out of the door holding the imperial edict, he could no longer conceal the smile on his face.
Go home and show off to my son.
"Look how great you are, Aye!"
"They are all still eagerly awaiting an opportunity to enter the East Palace, practicing their etiquette and conversation at home, and asking people to help them."
"Father has already secured for you a title of successor, just below the principal wife, and a position similar to that of a concubine."
Xu Chengzhu held his face with his hands, looking a little dejected.
"Aye is so useless. She is not even the principal wife."
Xu Lanqi subconsciously picked up the imperial edict and wanted to hit him on the head.
Halfway through knocking, he realized that it was disrespectful, so he carefully put it back, tapped his son on the head with his hand, and said in dissatisfaction: "Hey~ You little brat, how can you talk like that?"
He analyzed: "The principal wife is the future queen."
"It seems that the Crown Prince is going to imitate Your Majesty, so he doesn't plan to establish a queen."
"Unless you can show her your worth, enough for her to give you the position of queen."
He said earnestly: "Your father has helped you to obtain the highest position in the Eastern Palace. Whether you can go further depends on your own ability."
Xu Lanqi was an expert in chickening out his child: "Don't you want to be the prince's only husband?"
Xu Chengzhou immediately got excited, "I want to!"
As the first man to be defined, Bei Jingchu had mixed feelings towards Xu Chengzhou.
She had said before that if Lao Deng dared to match her up with someone else, she would overturn the palace.
The prerequisite is to choose a husband. If it is Chenghui, she doesn't mind if the emperor decides to choose anyone.
Not to mention, Bei Jingchu herself also had the intention, but she didn't intend to let him go through the back door right away.
Xu Chengzhou felt more at ease in the Eastern Palace, and vowed day by day to build good relationships with everyone, from top to bottom.
Sometimes he would even openly squeeze out Jiang Longshou's seat and sit next to Bei Jingchu.
Facing Jiang Longshou's questioning, he said confidently: "I am His Highness's man!"
Jiang Longshou: ...divine gold.
If this wasn't in front of the prince, he seemed like he would have punched this man in the face.
Bei Hua couldn't stand his showing off, so she slammed a stack of account books in front of him.
He crossed his arms over his chest and raised his chin.
"Hey, these are all the chores of the Eastern Palace. Would you like to share some of the responsibilities in advance?"
Xu Chengzhu:......
Xu Chengzhu was scared.
