Chapter 108 Mutual Misunderstanding
Chapter 108 Mutual Misunderstanding
Zhan Jingchen frowned. In order to stabilize the previous dynasty, the harem did need the daughters of ministers.
But the Tangxi family would not send their daughter to the palace. The general already holds military power and is worried about the emperor's suspicion, not to mention that their family has a regent princess.
If I send my daughter into the palace now, wouldn't that give the emperor a handle to control the general's mansion?
However, General Tangxi has no ambitions and is loyal to the emperor and the court. Both he and the emperor are very relieved about this.
But the general felt guilty towards his daughter and doted on her, so how could he send her to the harem? In order to prevent the ministers from gossiping, his daughter could not be given a high rank even if she entered the palace...
When Tang Xiluo saw him frowning, he immediately had a bad feeling. Could it be that his guess was wrong?
"My Lord, is this possible?"
Zhan Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "Is this your attitude when asking for help?"
Tang Xiluo: “?!!” For the sake of her elder sister, she endured it!
She brought him food, gave him massages, and even made the clasping sounds that she usually disdained the most, but he was still not satisfied?
Zhan Jingchen was just curious in his heart, wondering how far this little girl could go in breaking her limits.
Tang Xiluo put on a gentle smile, walked around to the man, and blinked her big watery eyes.
"Didn't my husband say that husband and wife are one? Then isn't my business the prince's business?"
Zhan Jingchen was stunned. Husband? It was rare for her to take the initiative.
"Cough cough cough."
Then the man pulled her to a chair nearby and sat down, looking straight into her eyes.
"But what happened?"
Tang Xiluo sighed: "Lin arranged a marriage for my elder sister, and it is the second son of the Gao family..."
Zhan Jingchen lowered his eyes. The general's second wife was a resourceful woman, but unfortunately she was brainless.
Then he began to think of teasing her.
"The Emperor has no penchant for taking other people's wives."
I thought the little girl would act panicked, and then pretend to beg him with soft words like she did just now.
Unexpectedly, the little girl stood up with an angry look on her face.
"Who is someone's wife? How can the second idiot from the Gao family be worthy of having a wife? Your Majesty should be more careful with what he says and does."
Zhan Jingchen: "..." He accidentally teased her too much and she got angry. How should he comfort her? He had never comforted a little girl before!
"Lolo..."
Tang Xiluo regretted what she said, after all, she was the one who needed help. But when she heard him call her elder sister the wife of Erzhu from the Gao family, she couldn't control her anger.
I couldn't help it for a moment...
Now she couldn't sit or walk. She couldn't lift her feet until things were done.
I couldn't let my momentary arrogance ruin my elder sister's life, so my brain raced to think of how to make up for the situation.
Zhan Jingchen also looked nervous. He had angered the little girl by saying something he didn't want to say. He knew that she came here for this matter, but he still said that her elder sister was someone else's wife...
"..."
"..."
For a moment, both of them were silent.
Zhan Jingchen thought the little girl was angry.
Tang Xiluo also thought that the man was angry.
"you……"
"you……"
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
Today, the two of them stared at each other.
Zhan Jingchen sighed, took her hand and asked her to sit down.
"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry."
Tang Xiluo was stunned. He actually bowed his head and apologized? At the same time, a warm current passed through his heart. He apologized to him even though he was angry. His handsome face with no dead angles was now full of worry and helplessness.
If we put aside the era and identity, I should have been attracted to him a long time ago, right? His thoughts are far beyond the current era...
"I was wrong too. I shouldn't have yelled at you..."
Zhan Jingchen's eyes flashed with disbelief. This usually arrogant and cold little girl actually bowed her head and admitted her mistakes? It was really rare! But he didn't dare to tease her any more.
Let’s get down to business.
"The emperor is indeed preparing to hold a beauty contest, but your sister..." Will she agree?
With a family background like these two sisters, they have no worries about food and clothing, and their father is partial to them and dotes on them. They should not think of entering the palace, right?
As for the stepmother, he didn't think that his wife didn't have this ability.
Tang Xiluo nodded: "If my elder sister is willing, it's better than marrying the second pig of Gao Mansion."
Zhan Jingchen: “???…” The second pig of Gao Mansion… is quite a descriptive character.
"Your Majesty, can you help my elder sister? I only have one sister in my life..."
The man sighed: "If your elder sister enters the palace, she probably won't have a very high rank."
Their family is already powerful enough. If their daughter enters the palace and is favored, there will be talk about it in the former court and the harem.
Tang Xiluo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does our current emperor rely on women to secure his position?"
Zhan Jingchen was stunned. He didn't expect that she would ask so directly. It was really too bold.
But he still answered affirmatively: "No, this is only temporary."
Even if the emperor does not have such great ability, I will always assist him and clear all obstacles for him.
Tang Xiluo breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't that enough?"
She knew that the man had a deep relationship with the emperor's brothers, and she also knew that the man had extraordinary abilities and would definitely assist the emperor. Moreover, the emperor was not as simple as she imagined.
Since he can assist the emperor, I am also capable of helping my sister. As long as she wants to fight, I will lend her a helping hand.
Zhan Jingchen sighed. Since she was so persistent, he would just agree to her request and make a few more plans.
"Okay, leave this matter to me, King."
Tang Xiluo's face lit up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the woman's back as she left happily, Zhan Jingchen fell silent.
It's really like crossing a river and destroying a bridge! Throwing it away after use, turning around so simply...
"Lei Er prepares the carriage and goes to the palace."
Royal study room.
"What?!!"
The emperor's pupils widened: "Brother, you are not kidding me, are you? This, this, this..."
This is immoral! The Gao family has already given the betrothal gift, but you take her into your harem right after? How is this different from stealing my wife?
Zhan Jingchen glanced at him coldly, and the emperor immediately sat down obediently. He lost his composure because he was too surprised.
But why is the emperor so fierce? He has always had a fierce expression on his face when he was young.
The emperor brother seemed to have been very strict with himself since he was a child. Did the emperor brother know from the beginning that he wanted this position? All the plans of the emperor brother later seemed to make sense. He himself had no interest, but he planned so much. Wasn't it all for himself?
He was disappointed for a while at first, thinking that his brother wanted this position, so he was ready to give up. Who knew that his brother actually gave up the throne and personally promoted him to the position. Not only did he solve the external troubles for him, but now he has come back to solve the internal troubles for him...
He also needs to become strong as soon as possible and cannot keep worrying his brother.
