Chapter 246 Forget about canceling the marriage
The emperor used to think that Qu Chu was a reckless girl who only knew how to fight without strategy, but later he found out that she was not.

Qu Chu's heart is not as good as that of the women in the palace, but she is resourceful and sharper than ordinary people. Anyone who wants to plot against her can't plot against her.

But the emperor didn't want to argue with Ning Youbei about this, if he said something bad about Qu Chu, his younger brother would play petty temper with him again.

"Come here as soon as you come. The reason for calling your wife over is for Deng Mingyu and cousin Chen's marriage."

Ning Youbei reacted extremely quickly, "Deng Tianzhen is still at Mantuo Villa and refuses to return?"

"How did you guess it all at once?"

"What's so hard to guess? What does the marriage between Deng Tianzhen and Cousin Chen have to do with Ah Chu? You specially called Ah Chu over, and it can only be this."

The emperor glanced at Ning Youbei, this younger brother did not hide his cleverness in front of him at all.

"This Deng Mingyu is really real. Su Zhuangzhu went to Nanyi for a few months, and he has been staying at Mantuo Villa and not coming back. Mantuo Villa is so good?"

Ning Youbei had a sudden thought: "Could it be that Deng Tianzhen fell in love with someone from Mantuo Villa? That's why he lingers and refuses to return?"

Hearing Ning Youbei's words, Qu Chu's heart skipped a beat.

Apart from Ying Xue, there is no special young woman in Mantuo Villa.

Ying Xue once said: Deng Mingyu had to follow her when she went to Nanyi, but it was Su Yingxue's threats and lures that made him not follow.

Qu Chu couldn't help but think of the situation when Deng Mingyu and Su Yingxue were together. Could Deng Mingyu's stick really fall in love with Yingxue?

Although he was wondering whether Deng Mingyu fell in love with Su Yingxue, Qu Chu's face did not show it.

The emperor and Ning Youbei didn't think of Su Yingxue at all.

The emperor said:
"Even if Deng Mingyu falls in love with a woman, just bring her back as a concubine. Does he have to stay in Mantuo Villa and not come back? I think he just doesn't want to marry Cousin Chen."

Ning Youbei said: "What does Uncle's house mean? The matter has come to this point, why don't we just call off the marriage."

Ning Youbei and Qu Chu are living a loving life now, so the two who want to get married like each other.

The emperor also had some headaches.

If he had known that Aunt Anping and Deng Mingyu were so difficult to get along with, he really wouldn't have pointed out this marriage.

If it were someone else, the emperor could still punish him, but he really couldn't do it if he was asked to punish his aunt and cousin for the alleged marriage.

What's more, this aunt took a lot of care of Youbei back then.

The emperor sighed, "Youbei, you are familiar with these young people in Yudu, who else do you think is suitable for Cousin Chen?"

Ning Youbei really thought about it seriously.

This thought really reminded him of someone.

"Brother, Cui Jinshan, the nephew of Concubine Shu (formerly Concubine Ru), is not bad, but I don't know if he is married?"

The emperor didn't think of Cui Jinshan all of a sudden.

Ning Youbei is bored with recuperating from illness every day, so he suddenly became interested in being a matchmaker.

"Brother Huang, if that's not the case, I'll check Uncle's tone for you first, and if Deng Mingyu isn't his only choice, then just cancel the marriage between Cousin Chen and Deng Mingyu.

Then I went to Cui's house to ask, if Cui Jinshan is not married yet, then point him to cousin Chen.

If you want to feel indebted to your uncle, when the time comes when your cousin gets married, then make her the head of the county.After she gave birth to a son, she also made an official for her son. "

After hearing Ning Youbei's words, the emperor felt that it was feasible.

If so, the Cui family will definitely not object.

First of all, to be able to get married with Duke Protector's Mansion, the Cui family is a high climber.

Furthermore, if Cui Jinshan became a county magistrate, he would be a fifth-rank official. They would not be unhappy if they gave the Cui family a fifth-rank official for no reason.

If Chen's cousin's son is granted an official position in the future, the Cui family will gain another benefit.

After thinking it over clearly, the emperor said to Ning Youbei: "You don't need to go to Cui's house, I'll call Concubine Shu over to ask."

After finishing speaking, the emperor asked people to pass on Concubine Shu.

Ning Youbei was bored waiting, and told Eunuch Rong: "Bring me a few plates of dried fruit, and make a pot of white peony tea."

Eunuch Rong looked at the emperor.

The emperor smiled and said: "Rong Dehai, what do you think I am doing, when is he not like this rascal?"

Eunuch Rong naturally knew, but who made the emperor his master.

After a while, the servant brought over four plates of dried fruit and a pot of tea.

Ning Youbei picked up the tools and began to peel the small walnuts.

After a while, Ning Youbei peeled off a small plate of walnut meat, and he sent this plate of small walnut meat to the emperor's table.

"Brother Huang, you worry too much every day, eat some walnuts to nourish your brain."

Looking at the almost intact walnut meat, the emperor raised his eyebrows, "I thought your first dish was for your wife."

Ning Youbei said casually: "I've been recuperating at home recently and I'm bored. I peel Achu every day, and she doesn't like it."

Emperor Coke.

"You gave it to me because your daughter-in-law didn't like to eat it?"

"That's not true. It is also necessary to show filial piety to the emperor."

The emperor was too lazy to argue with Ning Youbei, so he picked up small walnuts and ate them.

Ning Youbei quickly peeled off a small plate of pine nut meat, and he brought the stack of pine nut meat to Qu Chu.

Qu Chu glanced at it, but didn't reach for it.

I'm tired of eating these every day.

Seeing that Qu Chu didn't eat it, Ning Youbei didn't force it, and continued to peel the almonds.

Half of the almonds were peeled, Concubine Shu came.

Concubine Shu came here in full dress.

Seeing Ning Youbei and Qu Chu, Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, she thought that the emperor summoned her alone.But Concubine Shu soon regained her senses, and greeted Ning Youbei and Qu Chu.

"His Royal Highness King Chu, Marquis Pinglu."

Now Qu Chu is a super second-rank marquis, one level higher than Concubine Shu.

Qu Chu stood up, "Concubine Shu."

The emperor said, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be polite."

Eunuch Rong moved a chair for Concubine Shu.

After Concubine Shu sat down, the emperor asked: "I called you here because I want to ask you something: Did your nephew say anything about him?"

Concubine Shu was taken aback, "Are you asking about Jinshan?"

The emperor looked at Ning Youbei, and Ning Youbei nodded.

"Yes, it's Cui Jinshan. Did he mention others?"

Concubine Shu hesitated.

Seeing this, the emperor was a little displeased, "Is this question difficult? If you say it, you say it, if you don't say it, you don't say it."

What the emperor dislikes the most about Concubine Shu is that she always has a petty appearance, which is not refreshing at all.

Seeing that the emperor was not happy, Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law is looking after him, but it hasn't been decided yet."

Ning Youbei interjected: "Which step did you see?"

Concubine Shu's heart turned, who is the emperor going to be a matchmaker for, he called General Qu, could it be General Qu's someone?

However, General Qu has only one junior sister, who has been told to Su Shang's calligrapher, who will be married soon, who else?It can't be a maid, can it?
