On the morning of the third day after the Double Ninth Festival, a minister suddenly came to the court and asked the emperor to confer the crown prince.

The emperor is over forty years old, and the princes are gradually growing up. Even the seventh prince Lin Xia has joined the court to listen to politics, and the establishment of a prince is imminent.

But the emperor didn’t think so. He sat on the dragon throne with a blank face, staring at the courtiers who were presenting the memorial, wishing that the guards would drag him out and chop him down.

"How can we be so careless about establishing a heir apparent." The emperor said coldly, "My sons are still young and need more experience."

The minister insisted on his opinion, "Your Majesty, establishing a prince can stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate the foundation of the dynasty. I ask your majesty to put the country, the country and the country first and canonize the prince as soon as possible."

Two more ministers came forward and said: "I sincerely request you. Your Majesty decided to establish the foundation of the country early to stabilize the world."

The emperor sneered, "Huh, do you think my throne is unstable? Isn't the world stable enough?" The atmosphere suddenly became tense. .

The ministers looked at each other and did not dare to say anything.

"This matter can be discussed later." The emperor waved his hand, stood up and left.

The chamberlain raised his voice and said: "Retreat from the court."

The emperor refused to appoint a crown prince. The courtiers were very anxious, and the princes were equally anxious.

The position of the crown prince has been unresolved, which makes all the princes feel even more pressure.

They wooed courtiers privately to seek support.

The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense, with undercurrents surging.

The emperor knew this very well through Long Tingwei.

On this day, he suddenly asked Yun Hao, "Which prince do you think I should appoint as the prince?"

"Your Majesty is wise, choosing the prince is not a trivial matter, and you need to Make your own decision." Yun Haocai did not participate in the matter of establishing a reserve.

The emperor looked at him deeply and nodded slightly, "You are quite clever."

Yun Hao lowered his head and said nothing, and the emperor asked: "Jingyao, you Are you okay with that girl?"

"Very good, we went hiking together on the Double Ninth Festival." There was an imperceptible sweetness in Yun Hao's plain tone.

"As far as I know, she is just the daughter of a common man." After the emperor learned that Yun Hao had a sweetheart, he sent someone to investigate.

"I am marrying a wife, not a family." Yun Hao said in a deep voice.

"Jingyao, do you know why it is necessary to be well-matched when getting married? Do you know why you would rather marry a servant girl than a daughter of a young family member?"

Before Yun Hao could reply, the emperor Then he said: "MendangHousehold pairing is not for icing on the cake, but to avoid trouble. Although the maid in a big family has a low status, she has been exposed to it since childhood and knows the rules and propriety. As for the little girl, no matter how beautiful she is, she is just a frog in the well and cannot reach the level of elegance. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me, but her character and temperament are far beyond those of other ladies, and I would not marry her. "Yun Hao is dissatisfied with the emperor's belittling Zhao Wangshu.

"Jingyao, if you really like her, you can take her as your concubine. "The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, the girl I love is only a wife, not a concubine. I only want to spend my life with her. If I can't marry her, I would rather not marry her for the rest of my life. " Yun Hao said firmly.

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Jingyao, your mother will not let you marry the daughter of a concubine and affect your career. "

"Your Majesty, my mother has agreed, and even the Yun family's ruby ​​bracelet has been entrusted to her. "Yun Hao has no ambitions in his official career.

"Your mother has also agreed. The emperor's tone was full of hesitation, "Then let me reward her with something." "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "Yun Haomi declined.

The emperor was very generous and rewarded a bunch of things, including a house, a famous painting, a pair of jade Ruyi, several pieces of silk and satin, and several boxes of jewelry. Jewelry.

Yun Hao sent all these things to the Zhao family.

This caused Zhao and Li to misunderstand, "Jingyao, are you here to propose marriage alone? "Aren't you coming with a matchmaker?

"You're not here to propose marriage, this is a gift to Yue'er. Yun Hao smiled, "My mother will come in person to propose marriage." "

"Oh, okay, okay. "Ms. Zhao Li was a little embarrassed and asked her maid to send the things to Zhao Wangshu's yard.

Zhao Wangshu went to Dr. Shen's house and was not at home.

When she came back, she saw the yard The gift inside was misunderstood just like Zhao Li, "You came to propose marriage? "

"This is a reward from your Majesty. ”

　“Why? "Zhao Wangshu was puzzled.

"I said you were my fiancée. "

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Yun, for asking for the reward for me. "

"Just say thank you verbally? "

Zhao Wangshu stood on tiptoe and pecked the corner of his lips, "Is this done? "

Yun Hao lifted her chin, lowered his head and came close to her, and was about to kiss her.

The maid outside the house said: "Miss, my wife wants you and Mr. Yun to go out for a night. Eaten. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yun Hao's eyes. Zhao Wangshu chuckled and took his hand, "Let's go there."

Zhao Wangshu received so many gifts and decided to give them to her. Mr. Yun, who is asking for a reward, wants some kind of reward.

Yun Hao is a military commander. Although she has never seen him wearing a sword, he should be good at swordsmanship. Zhao Wangshu plans to buy him a sword pendant.

There are also jade sword pendants in the Yage, but Zhao Wangshu wanted to buy something special. She went to the Drum Tower. Last time she and Yao Shanzhi and the others didn't find any good ones. I wonder if her luck will be better today. .

As Zhao Wangshu walked, he carefully looked at the items on each stall, looking for his favorite sword pendant.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a stall. It was an inconspicuous stall. There was a silver sword pendant on the stall, engraved with cloud patterns. It was simple and elegant. She thought it suited Yun Hao very well.

Zhao Wangshu walked over, picked up the sword pendant and looked at it carefully. He nodded with satisfaction and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell this sword pendant?"

"The girl has good taste. This sword costs eighty taels of silver." said the stall owner.

"Cheaper, fifty taels."

"Girl, please add more. This small sword pendant was carefully crafted by an old craftsman. It is a unique piece."

　“Fifty-one taels, maybe.”

The corner of the stall owner’s mouth twitched, “Girl, please add more.”

Zhao Wangshu shook his head, “No. If you add more, it will be fifty-one taels."

"Girl, you can negotiate the price." The stall owner still sold the sword pendant to her.

Zhao Wangshu bought the sword pendant and went to Yun Mansion to give the sword pendant to Yun Hao, "a gift in return."

Yun Hao was slightly startled and looked down at the sword pendant. , smiled and said: "Why did you think of giving me a sword pendant?"

"Aren't you a military commander? Although I have never seen you wearing a sword, you should be good at swordsmanship. I think this sword pendant is quite suitable. Yours."

Yun Hao took the sword pendant and said, "Thank you."

Zhao Wangshu looked up and asked with a playful smile: "Can you just thank me verbally?"

Yun Hao smiled, lowered his head, and kissed his beloved girl's lips.

Zhao Wangshu closed his eyes and responded to his kiss. Their breaths intertwined and they expressed their feelings to each other.

Yun Hao gently let go of her, looked at her shy look, and said softly: "This is my most sincere thank you."

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "I like this thank you gift."

Yun Hao hugged her into his arms again, "Wang Shu, we want to be together forever,OK? "

"Okay, we will always be together. "Zhao Wangshu said softly in his arms.
