Chapter 425 Shen Ruolan, I'm Determined to Marry Her
Zhong Lingzhu said with red eyes: "Husband, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter what you become, I will never despise you."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something. She looked at her husband with excitement and said, "My husband, after you resign from your post, we will go to find cousin Ruolan and grandpa. I believe they will be able to cure you."
Qin Zhen looked at his innocent little wife, smiled at her and said, "You think things are too simple. If my leg is really healed, I'm afraid our peaceful days will be over."
If he really got better, the emperor would not tolerate them, especially his Zi'an, in order to prevent future troubles.
After hearing what her husband said, Zhong Lingzhu lowered her head in frustration, "Don't we have any other options?"
Qin Zhen looked at his frustrated wife and said to her with a smile, "Yes, unless your cousin takes the throne, our Qin family may still be prosperous for a while."
Qin Zhen's words made Zhong Lingzhu's eyes widen. She looked at her husband with disbelief and said, "Husband, are you saying..."
Qin Zhen glanced around, covered his wife's mouth and whispered, "Zhuzhu, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, otherwise, our two families will be in big trouble."
Zhong Lingzhu nodded to her husband and said, "Yes, husband, I understand."
Qin Zhen saw that his wife had taken his words to heart, so he said to her, "Help me wash up quickly, and come with me to the palace banquet later."
The emperor is hosting a palace banquet tonight to welcome them, and the couple has no choice but to go.
"Okay," Zhong Lingzhu said, and started to help her husband wash up.
However, she took his words to heart. While helping him take a bath, she couldn't help but ask her husband, "Husband, how are Prince Han and Cousin Lan doing? Will she return to Beijing?"
Qin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "From what happened to Ruolan this time, it seems that King Han still cares about Ruolan. I wonder what Ruolan thinks."
The fact that Jiang Dichen could ignore the 200,000-strong army and save Shen Ruolan regardless of the consequences was enough to show that she meant a lot to him.
After hearing what her husband said, Zhong Lingzhu thought for a moment and said, "It would be great if cousin Lan could come to the capital."
Qin Zhen looked at his wife and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Shen Ruolan will definitely come to the capital, but by the time she comes, they may have already left the capital.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the palace banquet and everyone arrived on time. Although Jiang Dichen was a little late, he did not keep everyone waiting too long, which was much better than usual.
In the main hall, the emperor first toasted the ministers, then the ministers raised their glasses to congratulate the emperor, and the whole palace banquet began.
When the palace banquet was halfway through, it was time for the young ladies from various official families to show their talents. After the Queen and several other young ladies had shown their talents, they looked at the Emperor and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this afternoon you asked me to help Prince Han choose a princess. In my opinion, it is better to choose a day than a day. Tonight, I will choose one from these talented girls. What do you think?"
As soon as the Queen finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, especially the young ladies who came to attend the banquet tonight. They couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Dichen.
The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing what the queen said, and then he said in agreement with the queen, "What the queen said is right. The ladies who came tonight are all legitimate daughters of various noble families. Their character should not be too bad. There should be no problem for them to be the consorts of Prince Han."
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Dichen who was eating and asked, "Old Fifth, what do you think?"
Jiang Dichen said without even raising his head: "No big deal."
After he finished his last bite of food, he put down his chopsticks, looked at the emperor and said, "Father, I have already told you that I will not marry anyone but Shen Ruolan, so don't worry about it."
After hearing what his son said, the emperor looked at him with an unhappy face and said, "Fifth Brother, if you like Lan Wanxi, just bring her back. She's just a concubine's daughter, why is she worthy of you marrying her?"
Jiang Dichen said: "Father, if I say it's worth it, then it's worth it."
Jiang Dichen paused and continued, "After the first day of the first lunar month, I will go south to deliver the betrothal gifts. Whether you agree or not, I will marry you anyway."
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Zhong Lingzhu, who was not far away, heard what King Han said and whispered to her husband, "Husband, King Han really wants to marry Cousin Lan."
Qin Zhen smiled at his wife, "You seem very happy that Ruolan is marrying King Han."
Zhong Lingzhu said happily: "Of course, not to mention that she and I are sisters, she is the savior of me and my child. I sincerely hope that she can have a good home."
"Zhuzhu is right." After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he picked up a piece of snack that his wife liked.
The emperor, who was sitting above, saw that his son was determined to marry Shen Ruolan, and he immediately said with a gloomy face: "She can be a concubine, but she can't be the main wife!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the atmosphere between the father and son suddenly became tense.
Seeing this, the Queen quickly comforted the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Han has just returned to the capital, and he may not be familiar with the girls. Don't push him too hard."
The ministers below all lowered their heads and dared not say a word, because this matter would either offend Prince Han or the Emperor, and they could not afford to offend either of them, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Let Shen Ruolan be a concubine? Jiang Dichen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Not to mention letting her be a concubine, if he hadn't pushed her too hard, she wouldn't even want to be his princess, so how could she be a concubine?
What's more, if she really wanted to be a concubine, she would not have escaped from him like this.
Jiang Dichen took a deep breath in his heart, looked at his father and said firmly: "Shen Ruolan, I am determined to marry her, whether my father is willing or not, he will marry her."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said to his father, "Father, since you don't agree, I will find a way to prepare the betrothal gifts. I'll take my leave now!"
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall without looking back, regardless of the emperor's face.
The emperor was so angry that he threw a cup into the hall and shouted angrily: "You rebellious son..."
The queen looked at the angry emperor and felt relieved. She wished that Jiang Dichen would be angry to death so that her son could take the throne.
However, no matter what she thought in her heart, she still smiled gently at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If you really want Prince Han to marry a princess, it's not that simple. Can't you just issue an imperial decree to grant him the marriage?"
After saying that, she continued, "Could he disobey my order?"
The Emperor had thought about the Queen's words in his heart. If it were someone else, perhaps they would not dare to disobey her order, but the Fifth Prince was a stubborn man who would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. In the end, he was the one who was embarrassed.
At this moment, the emperor's new favorite concubine suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what the queen said makes sense. There are many ladies from wealthy families in the palace tonight. It would be most appropriate to let them be the princesses of Han."
