Chapter 260: One Hundred Charms and One Thousand Charms are worse than a Scoop of Weak Water
Cheng Ling finally stood in the Wenhua Hall and silently listened to a conversation between the Tian family's father and son.
After Xiao Man entered the palace, it would obviously be inappropriate for Cheng Ling to take the initiative to resign. Emperor Wei did not say anything about asking her to resign, so Cheng Ling simply used herself as a pillar and quietly
Stand aside.
No matter what you heard or saw, the emperor didn't say not to listen, so just listen.
Perhaps this is also a test from Emperor Wei, who can say for sure?
In short, Cheng Ling adheres to the principle of only wearing ears but not mouth, so he is not afraid of making mistakes.
I heard the warmth between Xiao Man and the Wei Emperor and his son for a while. Seeing that the two parties were getting along well and the prince was in a good situation, the sixth prince who was standing aside finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He was young and had a straight-tempered attitude. He asked suddenly and casually: "Hey, that's not right. Brother Crown Prince, didn't my mother and concubine invite you to the Hundred Flowers Banquet? Why didn't you go and instead came to the emperor's place?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be stiff again, and Emperor Wei stared at Xiao Man.
Xiao Man was very calm. He said: "Father, I have been practicing in Xiangguo Temple for more than a year. I deeply feel that everything in the world is caused by causes and conditions. If I didn't mean it, I shouldn't go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet and provoke people at will.
A girl from an aristocratic family will not be beautiful if she suddenly disturbs her heart and creates a bad relationship again."
This... does this make it clear that he is not satisfied with the concubine finding a wife for him?
The sixth prince opened his eyes wide and tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart. He never thought that this eldest brother would be so reckless now. Can such words be said to the emperor so carelessly?
Sure enough, Emperor Wei's previous friendly attitude changed again, and his face suddenly became unhappy.
There was no need for the Sixth Prince to instigate further, and Emperor Wei asked in a deep voice: "What does the Crown Prince mean by this? Isn't it the noble daughter of the aristocratic family at the Hundred Flowers Banquet? You say it is unintentional, and you say it is a bad fate. Even the noble girls of the capital cannot enter your eyes, or
Say...do you really want to become a monk?"
When the last words were spoken, Emperor Wei was almost furious.
The atmosphere in the entire Wenhua Palace suddenly became tense. The eunuchs and maids on duty all lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, remaining silent. Even the sixth prince subconsciously stood up straight, clamped his arms, and did not dare to breathe.
Of course, no one knows whether the Sixth Prince was secretly trying to cheer up Emperor Wei and shouting for his father to add fuel to the fire.
Cheng Ling also lowered his hands, but his fingers curled up toward the palms of his hands with slight force.
Xiao Man was still calm, his eyes were clear and his voice was slow, as if he had Buddha nature: "That's not the case, father, please listen to what I have to say. I have been practicing for a year, but suddenly I realized what is the meaning of Bai Mei Qian.
A delicate thing is not as good as a ladle of weak water."
"Since the death of my mother, my father has not established a successor for many years. He is so affectionate that his sons and ministers yearn for him." Xiao Man is no longer shorter than the Emperor of Wei. He originally had a lonely appearance, taciturn and dull behavior.
, it’s really not likable.
But when he returned this time, Emperor Wei suddenly discovered that this son actually possessed a kind of peace and romance that few royal people had.
As he spoke slowly, his handsome face relaxed, and the dullness was no longer there. Only then did Emperor Wei vaguely see some resemblance between his eyebrows - who did he look like? He looked like the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty!
Xiao Man said that he had deep feelings for Empress Yuan...
Emperor Wei's anger slowly calmed down with this "affectionate" sentence, and he looked at Xiao Man.
Xiao Man had a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes. In the past, when he looked at these phoenix eyes, Emperor Wei always thought they were evil. But when he looked at these eyes today, Emperor Wei actually felt that these eyes were soft and affectionate.
of.
"Father," Xiao Man said again, "I am your son, a noble lady from the heaven. No matter how high-status a noble daughter is, how can she be higher than me? Who in this world can make me treat him as a marriage partner? In that case,
, I don’t care about the identity, I just wait for the destined person to show up."
Emperor Wei:......
Emperor Wei couldn't laugh or cry, and was speechless for a moment.
Look what Xiao Man said?
It turns out that this son not only has a romance that is rare for royals, but he also has an even rarer innocence!
Can the emperor's son not need to marry?
No, only a prince who has no desires or desires can avoid marriage! As a prince, if he does not want to be deposed by a latecomer one day, he must fight bravely and never give up any help.
What's more, it's a matter of marriage - at this moment, with Xiao Man's current situation, how much help can a capable in-law help him? Does he really not know, or pretends not to know, or even if he knows, he doesn't care?
Emperor Wei's piercing eyes were fixed on Xiao Man. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to see through the skin and cut out the sinews, bones, soul of the son in front of him, and see clearly.
Xiao Man stood in front of Emperor Wei. Faced with such scrutiny, his entire behavior fully demonstrated what it meant to be justified.
He seemed to really not care. This calmness made Emperor Wei's thoughts drift away. For a moment, the figure of the person in front of him seemed to overlap with that of the former Empress Yuan.
Emperor Wei opened his mouth and silently uttered four words: Without desire, you will be strong...
This son seems to be really strong-willed if he has no desires...
"Aman." Emperor Wei called Xiao Man by his nickname, "You don't want to marry a noble daughter from a noble family, but only wait for the right person. Do you really think so?"
Xiao Man did not hesitate and affirmed again: "Father, three thousand beauties are of no use to me. If I have only one confidant in my life, it will be enough for me!"
Emperor Wei laughed, a bit playfully: "Then how can you be sure that none of the noble ladies in the Hundred Flowers Banquet can be your confidant?"
Xiao Man said: "I haven't seen them in person, so I really can't be sure. But since we haven't seen each other today, it means we have no destiny. If you know a close friend, you can get it, but if you don't, let it go. Just let go of your thoughts and you will be at ease."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together in a posture of practice and said: "My son, I understand that you don't have to force anything. Forcing yourself will bring evil. It's better to meditate on the calm clouds and the bright and clear rivers."
After he finished speaking, he only missed shouting "Amitabha" again.
Emperor Wei was speechless for a moment and sighed.
He reached out and patted Xiao Man's shoulder, and his expression became gentle again. There was a bit of pity in the gentleness, as well as a concern like hating that iron cannot become steel.
"You!" Emperor Wei sighed, "That's all, you are now older and you have a plan, but you just don't want to get married for the moment. Can I, as a father, force you to do it?"
Xiao Man said warmly: "Thank you very much, Father, for being so tolerant to me."
The Sixth Prince on the side was dumbfounded and dizzy when he heard Xiao Man talking like this.
Brother, brother, how did he become like this?
Emperor Wei was silent for a moment and then said: "Don't go to Xiangguo Temple anymore. The East Palace lacks your master. I also want to see my prince when I go to court every day!"
Sixth Prince:......
With a smile on my face, my heart is so happy!
Grass!
