Quick Wear: The Boss Cultivates Ruthlessness

Chapter 465 The Miracle Doctor Treats All Kinds of Dissatisfaction 18

The old emperor was so happy that he laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, ok, ok!"

He couldn't help but walk up to Nangong Heng and pat him on the shoulder, praising him again and again.

In recent years, flood disasters have been frequent in Huainan, and the remnants of the previous dynasty have begun to spread rumors among the people, saying that the current emperor is plotting to usurp the throne and has brought about natural disasters.

Now that a natural jade dragon has appeared in the world, doesn’t this prove that he is the true dragon emperor?

The old emperor was so happy that he asked Nangong Heng to sit next to him.

Everyone present was a thousand-year-old fox, very good at observing people's words and expressions.

The emperor is so happy, does it mean that the second prince has a better chance of winning?

The only one injured was Nangong Jing. He returned to his seat alone with his eyes lowered and remained silent, making it difficult to tell his emotions.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a poor little thing. Seeing Nangong Jing like this, Lin Qian actually felt a little calm in her heart.

Maybe the ugly face of her lover was exposed, making her feel that her previous heartache for Nangong Jing was a joke.

The fact that Nangong Jing is out of favor now only shows that he is incompetent.

The queen was a little nervous, as she had prepared a birthday gift for the emperor this year for the third prince, Nangong Yunrui.

But the child said not long ago that he had found a rare treasure and told her not to worry.

How could the Queen not be worried? After all, the Second Prince and Concubine Hui were so clever that they actually used Yulong to make the Emperor so happy.

She glanced at the Third Prince, Nangong Yunrui nodded slightly to her, and then stepped forward to salute.

"Father, I also have a gift to offer!"

The old emperor smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll also take a look at the gift Rui'er prepared for me."

Nangong Yunrui did not clapped his hands to ask the eunuch to bring up any gifts. He directly took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

Nangong Heng looked disdainful. It was just a small box. How could it be compared with his jade dragon sculpture?

Nangong Yunrui personally handed the brocade box to the old emperor.

"Father, I would like you to open it yourself."

The old emperor gave a look and the eunuch Li beside him opened it for him.

He is the emperor, how could he open the brocade box himself? If there is a hidden weapon inside, wouldn't he be in trouble?

I have to say that the old emperor still cherishes his life very much.

After Eunuch Li opened the brocade box, the emperor's eyes lit up.

"This, this is?!"

There were also many people around, craning their necks to look, and some exclaimed.

"Could this be the legendary Kunshan Jade Cicada that can prolong life?!"

Everyone at the banquet began to boil like water in a pot.

The Kunshan Jade Cicada was a private treasure of the previous emperor, but unfortunately it disappeared after the palace coup.

I didn't expect it to appear in the world!

The old emperor could hardly hide his excitement.

"Rui Er, where did this come from?"

Nangong Yunrui said respectfully: "Father, I saved a Taoist priest in the mountains a few months ago. The Taoist priest was grateful for my life-saving grace, so he gave this item to me."

"I think that since your father is the emperor, only he can match such a rare treasure, so I will give it to him as a birthday gift."

Chrysanthemums blossomed on the old emperor's face and he smiled sincerely.

Then he took the queen's hand.

"The Queen really gave me a good son! Hahahaha, reward, Rui'er, your father will grant you whatever reward you want."

The Queen took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I think Rui'er is now old enough to get married. Why don't you give him a marriage? That will also help him to calm down his playful heart."

A thoughtful look appeared on the emperor's face, and the eldest prince immediately panicked.

It was obvious that the Queen's words meant that she wanted the Prime Minister's daughter to marry Nangong Yunrui.

He suddenly felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have admitted it directly in the afternoon.

I always wanted to follow the plan, but now plans cannot keep up with changes.

If Nangong Yunrui got the support of the prime minister, it would be even more difficult for him to succeed in his bid for the throne.

At this time, the second prince's mother, Concubine Hui, also spoke.

"Your Majesty, Heng'er hasn't married a princess yet, you can't be partial!"

There was a hint of coquettishness in Concubine Hui's tone. The old emperor smiled and simply threw the question to Concubine Hui and the Queen.

"Then do you have any good candidates? We should also ask the girl's opinion."

Yunyan smiled faintly, the old emperor was obviously trying to smooth things over.

Now that he has Kunshan Yuchan, he must feel that he can live a few more years, and of course he is unwilling to let the balance among the princes be broken.

Coupled with his suspicious nature, it was impossible for the old emperor to agree to any marriage.

Lin Qian's heart was pounding. She sensed danger. Was she going to get married before she had done anything?

At this time, the eldest prince finally took action. He would not let his two brothers succeed, not to mention that his father had said that he would ask the girl's opinion.

He and Lin Qian are in love with each other. If he asks for marriage now, Lin Qian will definitely agree.

"Father, in terms of age, as the eldest son, I am older than my two younger brothers. I also happen to have someone I like, so I beg you to grant me marriage."

The old emperor was puzzled, then sat back in his seat.

"What happened today? My three princes want to marry at the same time. I won't be the evil one."

"Then tell me who you like?"

The three of them were afraid that it would be too late to speak, so they spoke at the same time.

"It's Prime Minister Lin's daughter!"

The atmosphere at the banquet became subtle. The emperor had a blank expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The three princes looked at each other, with sparks in their eyes.

Prime Minister Lin just felt a headache. He currently stood on the side of the third prince because the third prince was more reliable than the other two princes.

He was considered the tallest among the short ones, but he had never thought of marrying his daughter to any of the princes.

At this time, the emperor spoke.

"I didn't know the Prime Minister's daughter was so outstanding. My three princes all want to marry her. Prime Minister Lin really teaches his daughter well!"

Prime Minister Lin felt his scalp tingling. The emperor was already extremely suspicious, and if this matter got out of hand, wouldn't he be accused of forming a clique for personal gain?

Prime Minister Lin stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, my daughter is not very talented and has a mediocre talent. I plan to keep her for a few more years and am not in a hurry to get her married."

The eldest prince said, "Father, I am in love with the Prime Minister's daughter. Why don't you ask her opinion?"

The old emperor kept playing with the beads in his hands and only spoke after a while.

"Why not ask the Prime Minister's daughter for her opinion?"

Lin Qian had been pushed into the open, and she had no choice but to stand up and salute.

"Your servant Lin Qian greets His Majesty."

There was an invisible sense of pressure in the old emperor's words.

"My eldest prince said that he and you are in love. Is this true?"

Nangong Jing looked at Lin Qian with sparkling eyes. He believed that his sister Lin would definitely be willing to marry him.

As for Yunyan, I can only find an excuse to deal with it later.

Lin Qian didn't even look at Nangong Jing before she gave an answer that surprised everyone.

"Your Majesty, I have no relationship with the eldest prince. I have no intention of trying to curry favor with the emperor, and I dare not have any relationship with the other princes."

She knelt down directly, her back straight.

"I heard that Northern Liao asked our dynasty for a princess to marry. How can our princess marry a barbaric Northern Liao? I am willing to ask for a marriage and do my best for the Great Wei."

The banquet was extremely quiet; no one expected Lin Qian to say such words.

Lin Qian felt pity in her heart. She was destined not to be with Yunyan and the others.

If she didn't say this today, even if she didn't have to marry the prince, her father would still be suspected and suppressed by the emperor.

Only if I marry the princess myself can I rely on the princess's merits to save my father.
