Chapter 1027 Yan Jia Qingrui
The next day, early in the morning, His Royal Highness the King of Chu woke up early and opened the door, only to find a door god standing in front of his door.
“Huairen, what are you doing?” His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at his good brother with two panda eyes and felt surprised: “You are not... suddenly thinking that I smell good, are you?”
"Brother Kuan, you are so shameless..." Li Huairen rarely told his boss such truth: "Now I understand why you are so popular among the noble ladies in Chang'an City."
"Ha..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu sneered when he heard this: "You are so bold, aren't you?"
"I have good news and bad news, Kuan brother, which one do you want to hear first?" Li Huairen said as he twisted his waist to avoid the whip kick from His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Stop messing around... Let's talk business!"
"What good news can you have..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed after hearing this: "Let me tell you the bad news first."
"I heard from my father last night that His Majesty has made up his mind to grant you a marriage." Li Huairen couldn't help but gloat over the thought: "Originally, His Majesty was still hesitant, but somehow, since you rejected his kindness last time, now... his attitude has become more resolute."
"That's it?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu sneered at the words: "Huairen, do you think I will buy into that tyrant's account?"
"Brother Kuan, you don't buy into His Majesty's account... but what about the Queen?" Huairen felt that his eldest son was also in trouble: "Actually... this matter was first instigated by Duke Zhao to the Queen Mother - but the Queen Mother was not stupid, and did not take the noble lady of the Zhaojun Li family recommended by Duke Zhao seriously. But..." When Li Huairen said this, he saw that his eldest son's brows were furrowed, so he quickly said: "Brother Kuan, do you still remember Yan Qingrui from the Yan family?"
"What? That little crybaby?" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu heard Li Huairen mention this name, his butt began to ache slightly.
Yan Qingrui, the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
If Wei Shuyi is the childhood nightmare of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, then His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu... might be Yan Qingrui's childhood nightmare.
The story of Zhang Chang painting eyebrows is well known. (Note 1)
What the world does not know is that when His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was studying in the academy, he once skipped school with his good brothers Li Huairen and Cheng Chumo. In order to avoid being hunted by the palace servants, the three brothers ran around the palace.
As a result, at the corner of a palace alley, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knocked to the ground Yan Qingrui, who was one year older than him and came to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Yang.
The little girl has a delicate body, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a little bull, so...
Because Yan Qingrui's forehead rubbed against the palace wall when she fell to the ground, there is still a shallow crescent-shaped scar on her forehead.
"Brother Kuan, you don't know that Yan Qingrui's grandfather, Yan Shigu, accompanied His Majesty on the expedition this time, but he suddenly fell seriously ill in Yingzhou and almost died. So..." Li Huairen felt that his eldest brother was really pitiful: "He begged His Majesty..."
"..." What else can His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu say...
It seems like this is really a debt I owe!
"Huairen..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu felt a buzzing pain in his head: "You seem to have told me two pieces of bad news!"
The first bad news is that the tyrant emperor wants to grant a marriage.
The second bad news is that the person to be married is Yan Qingrui, that crybaby.
"Brother Kuan, I didn't say this was the good news!" Li Huairen quickly quickened his speech upon hearing this: "What I meant was... you can completely reject this marriage!"
“You know nothing!” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was about to raise his foot, but he seemed to recall the scene when the three brothers were tied up together outside the Taiji Palace. So he stopped moving and said helplessly, “That tyrant knows how to control me… Qingrui… Last time when I was helping Changle and Lanling in Mount Li, I caught a glimpse of her. She was truly an example of ‘a person of learning and poetry is naturally elegant’, and she is more than qualified to match a rough man like me…”
"Brother Kuan, His Majesty gave it to you...you want it?" Li Huairen's eyes widened when he heard it: "Tell me, are you greedy--"
"You kid...ah...I owed it to her..." Li Kuan sighed, "Do you think this arranged marriage was a hasty decision made by the foolish king? He had already calculated it - if the arranged marriage partner was Yan Qingrui, how could I refuse? Ah? If I refuse this marriage, Yan Qingrui's sensitive personality...Forget it, let's not talk about this for now - I just want to ask you, who in the world dares to marry the noble lady I refused?"
"That's right..." Li Huairen nodded when he heard this: "They are all afraid of provoking you, even if the probability is very small."
"So..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sighed, then glared at Li Huairen angrily: "Go back to sleep right now!"
"Brother Kuan, are you just going to compromise like that?" Li Huairen felt that there was something fishy about this matter: "This shouldn't be the case... This is not like you..."
"Are you going to leave or not?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Are you still thinking that I will keep you for breakfast?"
"That's not necessary..." Seeing that the boss was getting anxious, Li Huairen quickly turned around and ran away.
After he left, Li Kuan's eyes suddenly became deep at some point.
Damn...
I thought that you, Li Xiaogong, had turned to the light instead of the dark side - it turns out that you are still in cahoots with that tyrant.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not believe that Huairen had deliberately inquired about this matter. It must have been that Li Xiaogong "accidentally" let it slip when they were chatting casually.
The reason why Li Xiaogong did so was naturally because Emperor Li II was secretly instructing him behind the scenes.
On the surface, they are talking about marriage, but behind the scenes, it’s all calculations…
It’s a pity...I really have no choice but to accept this marriage.
But...how should I explain to Lian'er?
For a moment, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also troubled by this matter.
However, although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was in a dilemma, it did not affect his next move.
A moment later, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu came to the City Lord's Mansion alone with Zhang Zhenxuan and Yuwen Qing.
This time, he was not in a hurry to talk to his tyrant father about the marriage, but instead went to find Li Xiaogong who was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field.
