Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 379 Asking Father for Marriage

Murong Jiu had never met Ruan Hongwen. If he hadn't been ordered by the Fifth Princess to drug Lou Zixi today, she wouldn't have remembered such an insignificant person.

It really doesn't matter. Although Ruan Hongwen was the number one scholar in his previous life, he didn't achieve anything, and he was lukewarm.

However, he should be a member of the Fourth Prince's party, but I don't know if he has been bribed by the Fourth Prince now.

Although he is now the top prize, he is only an inconspicuous official in the Hanlin Academy, and it will take several years before he can be promoted.

But he was suppressed by Lou Zixi, and it was even more difficult to get ahead.

Rather than being an editor of the Hanlin Academy, it would be better to be the only prince-in-law.

Otherwise, he would not have borrowed the donkey to go up the hill, saying that he and the Fifth Princess were in love.

Originally, he just wanted to frame Lou Zixi, ruin Lou Zixi's happy and perfect engagement, and let him marry someone he didn't like. But when the incident was exposed, he immediately fell in love with the princess, which shows that he was quite selfish at heart.

Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiudao said:

"He is indeed jealous of Lou Zixi, and his personal ethics are also lacking. Although he is not married yet, he likes to disguise himself to hook up with women. He is a seductress."

Murong Jiu covered her lips and chuckled, "It just so happens that after he and the Fifth Princess get along, he won't harm other people's good girls."

You know, there are many official ladies in the capital who are discussing marriage. Lou Zixi has already decided to get married. Among the young people, Ruan Hongwen, the courtier, is quite popular. It is better for him to marry someone else's family. Girl, it’s better to tie him up with the fifth princess.

Jun Yuyan has sent people into the palace to tell the emperor what happened in the restaurant.

The emperor was furious and thought that the fifth princess had brought shame on the royal family, so he immediately sent his confidant eunuch Li to the princess's house to declare her entry into the palace.

Unexpectedly, when Eunuch Li went there, he saw the servants in the princess's house were in a panic, with evasive eyes, saying that the princess was unwell and could not see people. Eunuch Li felt bad, but the emperor was thinking of sending the fifth princess to Yunnan. The Prince of Dian’s Mansion must not encounter any setbacks!
He ordered the guards to push aside the servants of the princess's palace and hurried to the fifth princess's palace. Through a wall, he could hear the charming voices inside. Who else could this voice be if she wasn't the princess?

Eunuch Li was suddenly covered in sweat. He didn't have time to wipe it off before he wanted to rush in. He thought that if he didn't have time to accomplish anything, he could still interrupt the two of them.

The maid's face was red and white, and she wanted to stop Eunuch Li from outside.

"Father-in-law, the slaves deserve death, but you can't go in. Princess, she has already been with Lord Ruan..."

The maid found it hard to say anything, but Eunuch Li didn't understand that this was already done!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you stop your master!"

The maid was also aggrieved.

They wanted to stop them, but on the sedan chair all the way back, Ruan Hongwen kept talking sweetly to the princess. He was not angry even after being beaten by the princess. He coaxed her with nice words, and finally got into the princess's skirt. , the princess was so coaxed that she forgot about Mr. Lou, and the two of them were actually in the sedan chair...

The maids did not expect that Mr. Ruan, who looked like a serious scholar, would be such a generous person. Although both of them were drugged, they were still on the street, and they didn't know if they were listened to on the street. Go.

In short, they really couldn't stop him. They couldn't get on the sedan and throw Mr. Ruan out. Who knew what outsiders would see when the curtain was lifted?
The princess is a rich woman, so she must not be seen by others.

They couldn't stop her, and the guards and grooms couldn't stop her. What's more, the princess sounded extremely happy, which showed that Lord Ruan served her very well. If they interrupted her, they might be punished in some way.

The maid was afraid of punishment, so she had to tell Eunuch Li truthfully what happened.

When Eunuch Li heard this, his face turned ugly and he said in a deep voice, "The princess is confused!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly returned to the palace to report to the emperor.The emperor was very angry, but the end was done. He could no longer send the fifth princess to the Yundian Palace, but it was not that easy to get him to marry the two of them. He was still angry. Why? Will grant marriage easily.

The fifth princess was happy for most of the day. It was already the next morning when she woke up. Unexpectedly, Ruan Hongwen woke up earlier than her. She was about to lose her temper at this unattractive face when she saw Ruan Hongwen bringing hot water. , wiped her gently, with eyes as cautious as a treasure.

The fifth princess was wiped a few times, knowing the taste of the marrow. She immediately blushed and reached out to hold his hand.

"Princess, does it still hurt?"

Ruan Hongwen raised his head and asked gently.

The fifth princess no longer thought he was not handsome at this moment and shook her head shyly.

Ruan Hongwen lowered his head with a serious look and said, "I'm here to help the princess."

……

The fifth princess asked for the marriage herself before the emperor.

The emperor was very angry and did not see her several times. When he did, he scolded her and even refused to let her enter the palace again.

The fifth princess had no choice but to beg her royal brother, the second prince.

The second prince had known about this for a long time. He knew about it when she was plotted against by Lou Zixi. He did not stop her at that time because instead of letting his half-sister marry so far away from Prince Yundian's palace, It would be better to stay in Beijing.

It's a pity that the plan failed, otherwise Lou Zixi would become his sister-in-law, which would be of great benefit to him.

It is not impossible for Ruan Hongwen to settle for the next best thing. At least he comes from a poor family and is easy to handle. He is also a prostitute, so he will be promoted sooner or later in the future.

He was surprised to see the imperial sister approaching him and said, "You don't like Ruan Hongwen, so why are you so anxious to ask your father for marriage?"

The fifth princess rarely looked like a little girl and said shyly:
"I think Ruan Hongwen is very good. He listens to my words very much. Although he is not as good looking as Fu Heng and Lou Zixi, he has a very lovable personality and is very good at pleasing me. I have also figured it out. I am a princess, so what? There are no such men, so why bother pursuing men who don’t like you? There are so many men who want to be my slaves!”

The second prince nodded: "It's good that you think so. I used to want you to marry a man you like and who is useful to me, but now that I have experienced too many things, my brother feels that being able to please you is the most important thing."

He promised to go to his father to intercede and ask his father to grant him a marriage. The fifth princess was very happy and wanted to go back and tell Ruan Hongwen immediately.

The second prince frowned and said, "Don't let men manipulate you. You are a princess, so you can't act too eager."

"I'm not anxious. What's urgent is Ruan Hongwen!"

The fifth princess stopped talking to him. When she went out, she met Murong Man. Because she was in a good mood, when Murong Man greeted her, she also nodded and said:

"I heard that the emperor likes you very much now. You should cherish it."

Murong Man nodded gently: "Yes. Just now, the prince asked his concubine to persuade the princess not to fall headfirst into Ruan Hongwen."

"Hmph! I know it well, I just like him and he will please me."

Murong Man looked at her expression, his eyes flickered, and he chuckled: "If the princess has anything to say in the future, you can tell me."
