Chapter 147 Desperation
Seeing that Jiang Baizhen's face became more and more ugly, Zhu Yan stood up in satisfaction: "Since there is nothing else to do, then I will leave."
This time Jiang Baizhen didn't stop Zhu Yan, but stared at Zhu Yan's back as he walked further and further away.
"Sure enough, it's a slut who is so humble that he doesn't know what to do." What Jiang Baizhen said inadvertently was heard by Xiao Liangzi who was on duty under the pavilion. He was so shocked that he covered his mouth tightly and hid his body. To prevent Concubine Jiang from finding out, if Concubine Jiang knew that he heard it, she would definitely kill him and not stay for a day longer.
Concubine Jiang stood up, looked around, saw that there was no one around, then moved out of the pavilion, and returned to the hall together with several court ladies who were in the distance.
Now that he had already entered the palace, Zhu Yan was not in a hurry to go back, and instead went to the imperial study.
The emperor was very happy when he learned that his son had come to the palace to see him, and hurriedly sent him in.
After saluting, the emperor looked Zhu Yan up and down, and said with a chuckle, "I'm thinner and more masculine, good, good!"
Zhu Yan's heart warmed slightly. Although his father could not spoil him like the fathers of ordinary people, he would occasionally have the kind of care of a father, which made him feel very comfortable.
"Father has also lost a lot of weight. Although state affairs are heavy, they can't be overworked. It's right to take care of your body."
The emperor nodded: "You are the only one who cares about me so much. The people around me all wish that I would die of exhaustion sooner. I spend all day doing some useless papers, so that I can't even get a good night's sleep."
Regarding court affairs, Zhu Yan has always adhered to the principle that if the emperor does not ask, he will not speak.
Seeing that he was silent, the emperor knew that he would not take the initiative to ask about the affairs of the court, so he said in a low voice: "Recently, several ministers have offered to choose another princess for you. What do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Yan glanced at the emperor and said with a smile: "The emperor must have already made up his mind about this matter, so why bother to ask my son?"
The emperor laughed dryly: "I want to hear your opinion."
Zhu Yan also laughed: "Father, the above-mentioned people are the three ministers from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households?"
A glint of light flashed in the emperor's dark eyes, his eyes were full of approval, he stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, it is these three ministers, what do you think?"
Zhu Yan cupped his hands: "Excuse me, to be blunt, as far as I know, these three ministers have always been close to the prime minister, and they must have been instructed by the prime minister to submit this paper. Do you understand too?"
Speaking of Zhuo Zhonghai, the original smile on the emperor's face was instantly wiped away, and he snorted coldly: "How can I not understand Zhuo Zhonghai's thoughts? He **** wants to force me to open my mouth to release it." The marriage contract between you and Qinya back then was to give you a concubine from his mansion in a legitimate way, hmph - he made a good plan, how can my son, the dignified King Jing, marry a mere concubine?"
Zhu Yan was not surprised, he knew what his father was thinking, and he had heard some stories about his father and Baili Yunyu.
"Then Father intends to reject these three ministers?"
The emperor frowned, with a troubled expression on his face: "Rejecting is definitely going to be rejected, but I haven't thought of a good name yet, you are not young now, you have great military achievements, and you are a noble prince. It's really unreasonable not to get married next year."
Zhu Yan said with a smile: "It's not that simple? Zhuo Qinya is missing, not dead. Father, you just use the excuse that you are trying to find Zhuo Qinya, and cut off their thoughts."
