Chapter 49 Rejection of Marriage

Kunning Palace.

When Princess Changping Zhu Weiru was paying homage to Empress Zhou, the second son of the emperor Zhu Cijiong suddenly ran in happily and shouted: "Sister, I saw it, I saw it."

"What did you see?" Queen Zhou frowned and scolded, "I'm so crazy all day long that I can't help but feel a punishment. If your father sees it, he will inevitably be punished."

Zhu Cijiong made a face to Queen Zhou and said to Princess Changping: "Sister, I saw that Wang Pu, the prince-in-law the father found for you."

Princess Changping's pink face turned red. The age of fourteen was the age when a girl fell in love with her first child.

From the chats between the father, mother, and palace ladies, Princess Changping has heard of all Wang Pu’s heroic deeds. In Zhu Weiru’s heart, Wang Pu has long become a god-like existence. If she can marry a young hero like Wang Pu, it would be a good marriage.

Empress Zhou looked at her shy daughter with interest and asked Zhu Cijiong: "Son, tell me about it with her mother, what does that Wang Pu look like?"

Zhu Cijiong replied: "He looks okay, but he is a little worse than the emperor's brother and this prince. However, he is much better than the children of the honorary officials in Beijing. Moreover, he is also a military general and looks quite majestic. Unlike the children of the officials, they all look like scoops and fall when the wind blows."

"Puchi." Princess Changping covered her mouth and chuckled, "How could you harm others like you?"

"Oh, what I said is the truth," Zhu Cijiong shouted, "Sister, you have never met the emperor's brother's accompanying you. I heard that the grandson of the prime minister is really as thin as a pole. Although they are older than me, I can pick up the two of them with one hand."

"Okay." Empress Zhou laughed and scolded, "Son of your life, stop making trouble, go to the front hall to stare. This afternoon, your father will make a marriage in person in front of all civil and military officials. If the good thing is done, come back soon to tell your sister, so that she will not be able to get water from fifteen buckets in her heart."

Princess Changping crashed into Queen Zhou's arms and twisted her waist and said, "My mother."

"OK."

Zhu Cijiong agreed, turned around and rushed out of Kunning Palace.

In the front hall, Emperor Chongzhen was holding a banquet to entertain all officials.

Although the unrest of Liu Zongzhou and other Qingliu-Sectarian ministers were unhappy with Emperor Chongzhen, overall, Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good mood today, so he drank a few more cups at the banquet.

The civil and military officials were mostly trembling with fear of the power of heaven and did not dare to drink happily. However, Wang Pu had no idea of ​​the difference between the king and the minister, and he refused to refuse to give everyone a toast to everyone, and he showed his crazy attitude. After all, this guy had not traveled for too long and had never been with the Emperor Long. As a modern person, he did not treat himself as a current person from the bottom of his heart.

After drinking, the cup and plate were in a mess.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stood up from behind the imperial case and said loudly: "You are so quiet, so quiet, I... I have a happy event today."

The noise in the hall stopped abruptly, and the civil and military officials turned to Emperor Chongzhen in unison.

"My dear friends." Emperor Chongzhen looked around the officials, and his eyes finally fell on Wang Pu, and he said loudly, "I have decided to...betroth Ru'er to Wang Aiqing as his wife."

The civil and military officials' eyes turned to Wang Pu again, and their faces showed a look of envy and jealousy. Of course, they knew that the Ru'er mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen was Princess Changping. This means that Long Sui Ye wanted to recruit Wang Pu as his son-in-law, which was a great honor.

But Wang Pu didn't know who Ru'er was mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen. Moreover, this guy drank a few more drinks tonight. Now he was a little too heavy and could not tell the occasion. As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the guy stood up and shook his hands and said, "Long live the emperor, no...no, I, I already have a wife."

"Light on."

"Kanglang."

The jade spoon in the hands of the newly promoted cabinet chief Zhou Yanru and the Minister of War Chen Xinjia fell to the floor one after another, and instantly fell to pieces.

The expressions and movements of civil officials suddenly paused. The scoop soup was maintained, the scoop soup was smiling, and the scoop smiled and twisted his neck. Zheng Sanjun, the Minister of Personnel, bent down to pick up chopsticks on the ground. When he heard this, he seemed to be immobilized and could no longer move.

Surprised!

Too surprised!

All civil and military officials could not believe their ears. Wang Pu dared to refuse marriage in public! This was a marriage granted by Emperor Long Sui, and the one who married Emperor Long Sui was Princess Changping! How many people could not even ask for grandpa and grandma, but Wang Pu refused marriage in public!

Emperor Chongzhen's face immediately turned dark, and he turned around and glared at Chen Xinjia fiercely.

Chen Xinjia shivered with excitement, stood up and asked Wang Pu in a crying voice, "Wang Pu, aren't you not getting married?"

Chen Xinjia felt so regretful. If I had known this, why would he have been talking too much in the Golden Palace? If I hadn't said that more, I wouldn't have caused such a big trouble today. Wang Pu, Wang Pu, you really hurt me this time. Thinking of the anger, Chen Xinjia really wished he could pounce on Wang Pu and bite him.

"Uh..." Wang Pu called out a drink and said drunk, "Don't, thank you Lord Chen for your concern. I'm in Jiangnan, I just married a relative, hehe, hehe."

"Hmph! That's really outrageous!"

Emperor Chongzhen groaned and left with a blue face.

All civil and military officials looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were all dumbfounded. Only Wang Pu stood up with a glass of wine shaking and said to everyone: "What's wrong with you? Come, drink... drink, drink..."

Chang Yanling and Li Zushu, who were sitting not far away, rushed forward and held Wang Pu left and right and whispered: "Brother, you are already drunk and can't drink anymore."

"I, I'm not drunk." Wang Pu struggled hard, "You can let go of me, let go..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Pu had already fallen into Chang Yanling's arms and fell asleep.

With the departure of Emperor Chongzhen, all the civil and military officials lost their interest in continuing to have a banquet, and their feet were covered with oil. They just tried to change the way to get the officials of Wang Pu, but at this time they hid far away like a god of plague. Wang Pu, this guy, dared not to refuse the marriage given by the Emperor of Longsheng. Before the matter was known, it would be better to provoke less.

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Cijiong hurried in and said repeatedly: "Mother, Queen, the Emperor, something happened, something big happened."

Queen Zhou scolded: "What happened? You can't say it slowly."

"Mother, Emperor Sister." Zhu Cijiong looked at Empress Zhou, then at Princess Changping, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Pu has refused marriage in public."

"ah?"

"What?"

Princess Changping Zhu Weiru's pink face turned pale in an instant, but Queen Zhou was so shocked that she couldn't stop talking. She never thought that Wang Pu would refuse to marry in public.

"The Emperor's Son." Empress Zhou asked suspiciously, "You are making your Emperor's Son happy, are you?"

"No." Zhu Cijiong said anxiously, "What the child said is true."

"Yes, Jiong'er's words are true, and Wang Pu did refuse marriage in public."

As soon as Zhu Cijiong finished speaking, the angry voice of Emperor Chongzhen sounded outside the warm pavilion, and then the voice of the eunuch Wang Chengen, Bingbi: "Long live here."

Empress Zhou, Zhu Weiru and Zhu Cijiong stood up and knelt down on the ground to welcome Emperor Chongzhen.

"Let's just be calm." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and sat down on the imperial couch. He was still angry and said, "Ru'er is virtuous, kind and beautiful, and beautiful. What's the point of being worthy of him, the general of Datong? Wang Pu Lian Ru'er has never seen him before, but he dared to refuse in public. It's simply outrageous!"

Zhu Weiru stood up and cried, "Father, my daughter won't marry, I will guard my father and mother for the rest of my life."
