Chapter 38
Li Houye found an opportunity to meet the emperor, explained the reason, and declined the marriage offer.

The emperor was very sorry: "I saw your eldest daughter two years ago, she was very lively, why did she suddenly become ill? Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look?"

"The doctor said that he fell into the water some time ago and his lungs caught cold, so he needs to rest for a long time."

In one sentence, Master Li attributed his daughter's illness to falling into the water.

The emperor was embarrassed.

The family just lost a daughter, and the other daughter became ill because of it. Isn't it all caused by the emperor's precious son?

The emperor coughed twice, "Since that's the case, let's just have a baby. Anyway, the children are still young. It's okay to discuss the marriage after two years."

Li Houye sighed deeply: "My daughter is stubborn, she has not forgotten the sad things, she is sick again, how can she think about anything else. Your Majesty will take pity on that child and allow her to be at ease. Let’s spend a few years in peace and quiet.”

The emperor had no choice but to laugh and said, "That's it, that's all."

Even the emperor can't force someone's daughter to marry, let alone the royal family's wrongdoing.

The prince is still grounded.

In the end, the emperor rewarded Li Hou and Li Yingning with a lot of cloth jewelry, precious medicinal materials, ginseng and bird's nest that nourished the body, and the matter was settled.

Just after Li Yanxing left the palace, Empress Wei came to see the emperor. She heard that Li Yingning was seriously ill and would have to recuperate for a year or two, so she sighed: "This girl is also unlucky. It's fine if she can't be a crown princess. Why even the sixth prince?" Neither side?"

The emperor threw the booklet away, and said calmly, "If it wasn't for the crown prince, how could so many things happen? You, the empress mother, have the nerve to talk about someone else's daughter!"

Empress Wei lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The crown prince has already been punished, please appease your majesty."

The emperor snorted heavily, obviously very disappointed with the prince.

Empress Wei was silent for a while, and then brought up another matter: "The sixth prince is sixteen. A few days ago, according to the ancestral system, we arranged for a maid in charge of the bedchamber. It's time to get married and leave the house."

After the prince becomes an adult, except for the prince, all of them will be crowned king and go out alone. It is impossible for them to stay in the palace all the time.

The emperor frowned: "I originally thought that the royal family was ashamed of the Li family. Since Li Hou's daughter couldn't be the crown princess, she gave it to the sixth son. Who would have thought that Li Hou would reject it. As for the reason, you just now know .”

"Then point out another marriage to the sixth prince. There are not many other things in this capital, and there are still quite a few ladies of marriageable age."

"Are you in such a hurry to drive the sixth prince out?" The emperor was slightly dissatisfied, "Don't worry, the prince's position is still very stable, and the other princes cannot threaten him."

Empress Wei said aggrievedly: "Why did your majesty say that? I am a queen and the aunt of the princes, so I can't leave an adult prince alone in the harem. At that time, your majesty should say that this concubine is incompetent."

"Why are you crying? I didn't say anything."

The emperor was a little impatient, "Since that's the case, go find the sixth prince and choose another one for him."

The emperor has been a little upset recently, not to mention that the sixth prince's sense of existence has always been low, and he really doesn't bother to take care of his marriage anymore.

After the queen returned, she found the sixth prince, Gu Changyuan.

"Sixth prince, you turned sixteen last month." The queen waved her fan, looked at the young man who looked like a crown jade in front of her, and thought of his mother Ye Guiren's obsequious appearance, she said softly, "It's also time to get engaged." Now, what's on your mind?"

Gu Changyuan said: "Father once said that he would marry me and the eldest daughter of Lihou's family."
