Chapter 214
After a while, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Okay, since you said so, forceful melons are not sweet, and I have no reason to force them anymore. But you have to think clearly. You just said that you are now the emperor's lone minister, and this emperor's lone minister has all the honors. All ties are only tied to the emperor. This is your best chance to have foreign aid. If you marry Danyang, you will be bound to our uncle's house in the future, and our uncle's house will be bound to the prince. Together, not to mention that the emperor favors you now, even if something happens in the future, as long as the prince is still there and our uncle's house is still there, you will be fine. Do you really want to give up such a good opportunity? "
Pei Qingyan smiled.
The smile is clear and generous, as calm as the wind.
"To be honest, if I say I'm not attracted, it would be a lie, but the person I like has a domineering temperament, and I'm afraid she won't be able to commit herself to being a concubine, and she won't be able to accept that her husband has someone else around him, so I don't have that fate, so I still have to wait and see. Come on, please serve your majesty now, and we’ll talk about the future later.”
Uncle Guo nodded.
"You said that, and I became more and more curious. Who is your ideal person? Can you make the dignified Lord Pei give in like this?"
Pei Qingyan's smile was a little more sincere.
"She is...a person who has a hard life but never complains. In fact, she is not very good or special, but she just has a kind of magic power that deeply attracts me. Before I met her, I never complained. I have never thought about marrying a wife, but after meeting her, I only had one thought, this is how I should marry a wife, otherwise it will be a lifelong regret."
Uncle Guo was greatly shocked.
He was speechless for a while and couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that Mr. Pei is sincere this time. Anyway, I, the king, am not a person who likes to beat mandarin ducks. Since Mr. Pei has other interests in his heart, I will not force it. I will refuse it for you, Your Majesty. That’s it.”
"Thank you, Uncle Guo."
"you are welcome."
After the two agreed, they entered the palace hand in hand.
However, when they entered the palace and talked about their purpose, the emperor became furious.
From the emperor's point of view, he offered marriage to the two of them out of kindness, but others would have been unable to get it even if they asked for it. But now, instead of being grateful, these two people even refused.
Is this eating the bear heart and leopard gall?
Emperor Duanming sat at the top, his face dark and angry.
Uncle Guo didn't need to ask, he actually knew why they refused to marry.
Isn't it just that Pei Qingyan fell in love with a commoner woman outside the palace?
Even small merchants dare to think of relatives of the emperor.
Just wishful thinking!
Emperor Duanming looked at the two people kneeling below with an angry expression.
Then sneered.
"Uncle Guo, I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to get married, it's that this kid doesn't want it."
Uncle Guo was stunned.
How could he and Queen Wang be so easy to get along with from a humble family to their current status?
Having become a human spirit long ago, he could naturally understand the hints in Emperor Ming's words.
Uncle Guo immediately said: "Yes, in fact, my daughter has always been in love with Master Pei, but she has no choice but to be unwilling to do anything, and the flow of water is ruthless. The minister also doesn't want to make Master Pei in trouble, so..."
He said with a regretful expression on his face.
Pei Qingyan: "???"
That's not what you said at the palace gate just now.
But now, since he has been sold, it is useless for Pei Qingyan to say anything.
Moreover, what Uncle Guo said was the truth. He could not refute it and could only remain silent.
At this moment, Emperor Duanming felt comfortable.
After all, his proposed marriage was not a mistake. No matter what Pei Qingyan felt, Princess Danyang liked Pei Qingyan, and that was enough.
So, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Uncle Guo, you go first, Yan'er, you stay."
The uncle glanced at Pei Qingyan, then glanced at the emperor, and withdrew knowingly.
After Uncle Guo left, only Pei Qingyan and Emperor Duanming were left in the hall.
In fact, Emperor Duanming had a headache.
If it were anyone else, he could still suppress the other party as the emperor, but the other party happened to be Pei Qingyan.
After all, he was the child he raised himself. He knew very well what Pei Qingyan's temper was like, and he was afraid that he would have already lost his temper before he could suppress him with force.
Sometimes it is not a good thing for a child to be too temperamental.
Emperor Duanming sighed silently in his heart.
After a while, he said: "You are not willing to agree to this marriage, but for the sake of that woman named Song?"
Pei Qingyan's eyebrows twitched.
He looked up at Emperor Duanming in disbelief.
Emperor Duanming waved his hand and said softly: "You don't need to look at me like this. The last time I saw you coming back, I knew you were in trouble outside. You are the child I raised. Although you are not my own child, you are better than my own. Naturally, I am concerned about your affairs, so I sent Fuquan to inquire about it."
He paused, his tone a little weak.
"Do you have any plans to keep her in that house?"
Pei Qingyan quickly explained, "Back to my uncle, it was not Yan'er who kept her in the house. In fact, it was because she came to Beijing to discuss business with the first uncle on behalf of the family and had nowhere to stay, so Yan'er temporarily lent her the house to live in. Miss Song She has her own career and is definitely not the kind of person who depends on men, so her decision to stay or go is not decided by the banquet, but depends on herself."
When Emperor Duanming heard what he said, he became very angry.
"Miss Song, Miss Song, she is not yours yet, but she calls her so affectionately and speaks for her every word. You are so protective in front of me. Can she accept your favor?"
Pei Qingyan paused.
Appreciate?
His previous confession had failed. He just hoped that next time they meet, she would not push him away or avoid him. Thank God.
Seeing that Pei Qingyan was silent, Emperor Duanming understood a little bit and became even more angry.
"Tell me about you, you are the commander of the Embroidery Department and my nephew, but you can't even handle a common woman. Aren't you embarrassed?"
Pei Qingyan was scolded honestly, "It would be embarrassing to reply to my uncle, so Yan'er never dared to bring her to you. I was afraid that between her and me, it was just Yan'er's unrequited love. Miss Song didn't care about me." That means uncle, so you don’t have to worry about her anymore.”
Emperor Duanming choked, but he got to the point.
He said speechlessly: "Even so, you are not willing to give up her and marry Danyang?"
Pei Qingyan said: "The love between children is a small love. If I can marry someone I like, it will be a great joy in life. If I can't marry someone and forcefully marry someone I don't like, wouldn't it be a big deal for that girl?" Let down?"
"Yan'er doesn't want to harm others, and he doesn't want to wrong himself, so please ask the emperor's uncle to help you. Let Yan'er work for you wholeheartedly first, and don't talk about anything else. When Yan'er wants to find something of his own in the future, he will come to ask his uncle to make the decision. "
Emperor Duanming looked at him with hatred.
As the emperor, how could he not know about the voices inside and outside the court?
