Chapter 950 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 20]
The next morning, the sun shone through the window into Runyu's room. After washing up, he took a deep breath and came to the main hall, where he saw his parents drinking tea and chatting.
Runyu bowed to his parents first, then blushed as he told the story of how he met and got to know his beloved girl. Princess Beijing listened quietly, a smile gradually forming on her lips. When Runyu finished, she nodded slightly, indicating that she was very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.
Over the years, Princess Beijing racked her brains and tried every possible way to get Runyu married as soon as possible. But no matter how she persuaded him, Runyu remained unmoved and was surrounded by men. Seeing her son getting older, Princess Beijing almost gave up hope, but she never thought that she would have the opportunity to have grandchildren in her old age, and she was naturally very happy.
Therefore, Princess Beijing immediately began to think about the betrothal gift. She knew that the betrothal gift must not be treated carelessly. Not only must the amount be large, but the quality must also be high. It is imperative that the future in-laws feel the sincerity and generosity of the palace. After all, this time, her son finally found someone he liked and was willing to start a family, so everything must be arranged properly, and people must not feel that the palace was petty.
At this moment, Prince Beijing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "The Lin family seems to have a daughter of a famous lady. According to the rules, she needs to participate in the election. Do you have any plan to deal with this?"
When Princess Beijing heard this, she suddenly realized what was going on and quickly agreed, "Yes, son, you can't just look at the girls in the banner casually! What should I do?"
Seeing this, Runyu hurriedly walked up to his father, bowed and said, "Father, I need your help in this matter! Whether I can get married in the future depends on you. And whether you, mother, can have a satisfactory daughter-in-law depends on how you act!" After saying that, he looked at Prince Beijing with expectation.
"You little bastard, you've been trying to harm your father all day long. You're just a debt collector!" Prince Beijing roared angrily. His majestic face was distorted by anger, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.
"Hmph, who are you talking about? You are still procrastinating on my son's lifelong event. Why don't you go and get it done for me quickly? Let me tell you, if my future daughter-in-law is gone like this, I will show you how I will deal with you! Then you can just go to the study and sleep by yourself, and don't even think about stepping into the door again!" Princess Beijing raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Prince Beijing and scolded him aggressively.
Seeing his wife showing off her anger, Prince Beijing instantly became like a deflated ball. He quickly smiled and said, "Oh, don't be angry, my lady. It's all my fault. I was wrong. Don't worry, I will do everything I can to prevent our son from losing this marriage. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that everything will be handled properly!" With that, Prince Beijing turned around in a hurry and left the palace and went straight to the palace.
Since Prince Beijing was the closest brother of the current emperor, he did not need to submit a palace card to enter the palace, and could even drive straight in. Prince Beijing soon arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. From a distance, the eunuch Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, saw him and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Oh, I am here to greet His Majesty Prince Beijing. I wonder why the prince has come to the palace in such a hurry this time?"
Prince Beijing nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "So it's Eunuch Liang. I'm here to present something to my brother. I wonder if my brother is free to meet me now?"
Liang Jiugong replied with a smile on his face: "In reply to your question, Your Majesty, the Emperor is in the palace now. Please go in by yourself." After that, Liang Jiugong stepped aside to make way and respectfully invited Prince Beijing into the Qianqing Palace.
Prince Beijing entered the palace in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve. In the blink of an eye, his eyes were red and tears were swirling in them. After seeing the emperor, he knelt on his knees without hesitation and cried out in sorrow: "My brother! I am so miserable! Look, I worked so hard to raise my son, but this kid refuses to get married! In this way, I am afraid I will never have a grandson in my life!"
The emperor looked carefully and saw that Prince Beijing was crying miserably, with snot and tears all over his face. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, and muttered to himself: My little brother, he just knows how to act like a spoiled brat all day long, and he is getting more and more childish as he gets older. If it weren't for the relationship between brothers, he really wanted to kick him out.
"Brother, get up quickly! Tell me what's the matter and I will take care of it for you. Otherwise, I will immediately order Runyu to come here and give him a good beating to help you vent your anger. How about that?" The emperor frowned and said helplessly.
"Royal brother, you must not do that! If my wife hears about this, she will definitely not let me off easily. I'm afraid she will punish me by making me sleep in the study again!" Prince Beijing wiped his tears and waved his hands and shook his head in response.
"Oh, I really don't know what to do with you. In this case, how about I pick out a few outstanding ones from other princes and adopt them as your heirs?" The emperor pondered for a moment and made such a suggestion.
"Brother Imperial, I came here this time because I really have something to ask of you." Prince Beijing bowed slightly and said solemnly.
"Oh? What is it that requires my brother to come here in person? Just tell me." The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at his brother with interest.
Prince Beijing took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "Brother, I came here this time hoping that you would grant me the marriage."
The emperor was startled when he heard this, then he showed a puzzled look on his face and said with a smile: "My nephew Runyu has always claimed that he will never get married in this life. Could it be that he has changed his mind now and wants to marry a concubine into the mansion?"
Prince Beijing quickly shook his head to deny it, and said firmly: "Brother, you know me very well. I only want to spend the rest of my life with my wife, and I have no intention of taking a concubine."
Seeing that he was so determined, the emperor understood a little and asked with a smile, "Since it's not a concubine, then which girl can win the favor of nephew Runyu?"
Prince Beijing looked embarrassed at this time. After a little hesitation, he said, "My dear brother, the person Runyu likes is the legitimate daughter of Minister of Revenue Lin Ruhai. I beg my dear brother to help and grant Runyu a marriage contract."
The emperor suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of his brother's visit. He stroked his beard and said jokingly, "Haha, I knew you wouldn't come to me to ask for marriage for no reason. Since my nephew Runyu already has someone he loves, I am naturally happy to help him. I just wonder if Miss Lin knows what my nephew Runyu feels for me?"
Prince Beijing hurriedly replied, "Brother, I don't know about this. I am just worried that Runyu will change his mind in a moment of impulse and no longer want to get married. That's why I can't wait to come here and ask you to grant me the marriage and settle it first. When the matter is done, even if Runyu regrets it in the future, there is nothing I can do."
