Chapter 122 Grounded
At this time, the queen came out and said, "You guys go in! Be careful with your words, you're still angry!" The queen came out to ask for help. She had been trying to persuade them for the whole morning. Women are generally more open-minded about such problems, but the emperor is different. He felt that he had been deceived.
Several brothers walked in one after another and paid their respects. They knelt down and dared not stand up until the emperor called them to do so.
After a night of ideological struggle, the emperor seemed to no longer care about his daughter-in-law's background. Instead, he was angry that his son, daughter-in-law and foreign officials had joined forces to conceal the truth from him.
"Your Majesty, the issue of Mu Mu's identity was indeed an unintentional mistake on our part. Mu Mu himself had no choice but to follow our advice. Minister Xia's family naturally dared not disobey the prince's request. As for Xia Tong's wife and children, one hopes to have a daughter and the other wants to have a sister. It is a happy thing for them to become a family with Mu Mu!" King Qin spoke first.
"If your father feels that you have been deceived and wants to punish Mu Mu, please spare her for the sake of the deep love between Prince Jin and his wife! If you want to punish her, let your son take it on your behalf." The prince pleaded.
"There is also the baby in the belly! Father, you should not give face to the monk but to the Buddha. That is the royal bloodline. Mu Mu's deception of the emperor is not malicious!" The King of Chu also spoke!
"The King of Jin is still fighting. If we punish Mu Mu now, what will the King of Jin think? He loves Mu Mu as a person, not her background. The King of Jin will not care whether Mu Mu is an orphan or not!" The prince added, and saw that the emperor's brows relaxed. The husband was fighting outside, and the wife was punished. Isn't this too unreasonable? What's more, there is a child in her belly!
Prince Yan didn't think the emperor would harm Xia Mu. It was normal to be angry for a few days after being deceived, but it wouldn't be to the point of beheading him. "Father, a small punishment is still necessary. Please be lenient!"
The emperor was more receptive to Prince Yan's words. He had never intended to convict her of deceiving the emperor. After hearing everything that happened last night, he knew that she did not intend to deceive the emperor, but punishment was still necessary. The prince was actually willing to punish her on her behalf, so let's punish them together!
“The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are naturally involved, so the Crown Prince is ordered to select a Crown Princess immediately and get married on an auspicious date. As for the King of Qin, you can choose one of the beauties you like to be your princess!” As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the resentful expressions of his two sons with satisfaction. Is it so painful to get married?
The Crown Prince and the King of Qin looked at each other.
The prince knew clearly that he could only make the previously chosen choice first and then think of a solution. This was not a big problem, as long as everything went according to plan.
As for the King of Qin, he had no choice but to take the risk. It would be better for him to marry Bai Lan'er than any of the concubines, but the only problem was her identity... Alas!
"Father, I already have a lover, so can I skip the selection?"
"Oh? Since the King of Qin has a sweetheart, why doesn't he get married earlier?" The emperor was very surprised.
"Because of the huge difference in status, I didn't dare to tell my father."
"What is your identity?" asked the emperor.
"She's a common citizen." The fact that Bai Lan'er had been a pawn in the conspiracy was a secret, and not many people knew about it. In order to save Bai Lan'er's life, it was not mentioned in the memorial to the emperor!
"I want you to marry a princess, not a commoner!" The emperor was firm.
"Then... let's take a concubine first! You can take your time choosing a princess." The King of Qin gave in. After all, there was only one mistress in the King of Qin's Mansion, so her identity didn't matter.
"Are you bargaining with me?" The emperor stared at his son kneeling on the ground.
"Since your Majesty doesn't agree, then please charge me with the crime of deceiving the king." The King of Qin was completely desperate. It would be better to die than to marry someone he didn't love. Besides, he didn't know whether Bai Lan'er was willing to marry him or not. He would have to convince her when he returned.
"You?! You are so brave!" The emperor thought he would have the upper hand this time, but he didn't expect that this guy would confront him.
"Father, it's a good thing that the King of Qin wants to get married. Let's not talk about whether he will take a wife or a concubine!" King Yan hurried to smooth things over.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that!" The emperor thought for a while and decided that this punishment he had thought of on the spur of the moment had achieved its purpose.
"Fourth brother, do you know what your youngest son came to me this morning to ask me?" The emperor asked the King of Chu who was still watching his brother being forced into marriage.
"I don't know." How can I know if you don't tell me? Ever since my three sons were taught badly by Mu Mu, I can hardly guess the problems they suddenly come up with! !
"He asked me what the second half of the sentence 'Water can carry a boat' was." The emperor got a headache when he thought of his grandson's answer.
After all, they are modern people, and they knew what was going on as soon as they heard this. The Crown Prince and the King of Qin did not dare to look up, and could only lower their heads and hold back their laughter.
The King of Yan and the King of Chu were puzzled to see the two men trying to hold back their laughter. They thought it was a simple question, but the emperor's grandchildren would know it, right? Why did they come to ask the emperor?
"Isn't the second half of the sentence also capable of capsizing a boat?" the King of Chu replied.
"I said the same thing, but the child said my answer was wrong. He said, 'Water can carry a boat and can also cook porridge.' He also said that his seventh aunt told him the answer." The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.
"Hehehe!" King Yan couldn't help laughing. This Mu Mu was simply misleading his students.
"How could it be... like this!" The King of Chu began to worry about the possible consequences if his three sons continued to be with Xia Mu. Uh... should he stop the children from seeing her? Sweat!
"Just take care of your own children!" said the emperor and wanted to leave.
"What about Mu Mu?" The King of Chu was sweating a lot. Weren't they discussing Xia Mu's deceit? How did it become a forced marriage between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin? And they even mentioned the child?
"Xia Mu challenged the dignity of the emperor, so of course she must be punished. Let her go to the Qingzhu Pavilion to reflect on her mistakes for a month. She is not allowed to leave the Qingzhu Pavilion, and no one is allowed to visit her!" After the emperor said this, he turned away!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, of course knowing that this punishment was the lightest. Xia Mu, you'll just stay there for a month! Anyway, you still have a month and a half before giving birth!
Thinking of the children, this… this… this… this… can I still let them play with Xia Mu in the future? It seems that I can’t do that anymore???
Qin Palace ——
"I don't want to get married." Bai Lan'er refused without a second thought when she heard about getting married.
"Even if you don't marry me, I will still marry you!" replied the King of Qin.
"If I don't even get married, who are you going to marry?" Are you seeing someone else? A third party?
"The emperor has given the order, so of course I must get married. The only one I want to marry is you, so you can do whatever you want!" The King of Qin spread his hands.
"What if I insist on not getting married?" Bai Lan'er felt that she should play for a few more years as Xia Mu said.
"If you don't want to marry, I will still marry you according to your order."
"Who are you going to marry?" Bai Lan'er became a little anxious when she heard him say that she didn't want to marry but he still had to get married.
"It doesn't matter who you marry. You're not going to marry me anyway." The King of Qin still looked helpless.
"So you don't have to marry me?" Bai Lan'er was angry!
"I want to marry you, but you won't marry me! And the emperor is forcing me to marry him, what can I do?"
"I don't allow you to marry anyone else!" Are you kidding? You are mine!
"Then you have to marry me. I must get married."
"Then...then...!" After thinking for a while, Bai Lan'er was a little shaken. "How many will you marry?"
