In this great hall, it was probably only Sun Jinzi who had her head lowered, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Raising his head, he saw that the royal father on top of the Dragon Throne was silently watching him. Jin Chuao's heart suddenly froze, and he did not know what to do.
If he had to give up such a rare opportunity today, he would not be willing to do so. However, he had a premonition that tonight, royal father would not agree to it.
Sun Jinning's expression froze, but she knew that there was probably someone looking at him right now, so she didn't dare to show any emotion on her face. She only lowered her head slightly, curled the corner of his lips, and didn't see the resentment that flashed past in her eyes.
Jin Chuyi clenched the cup in his hand tightly. These children had all grown up, yet they all refused to listen to him.
Zhuang Fei sat silently at the side. When she raised her head and saw her son looking in that direction, a glint of light flashed across her eyes.
”First Prince, you already have a prince and a lateral consort. Even if we were to grant you marriage today, I'm afraid it's time for you to obtain these little brothers of yours.”
It was rare to see Zhuang Fei speak, but the moment she did, the ministers below were all intoxicated. Her voice was as soft as jade, as if it was a gust of spring wind on a cold night. Moreover, her gentle, curvy face made people feel that she was incredibly beautiful. The ministers who were below were stunned by her pinching. The pain was so intense that they didn't dare to make a sound.
Jin Chuyi's face flashed with a luster. This was also the reason why he couldn't easily bring Zhuang Fei out. However, he was the only one who was worthy of such a woman.
Liu Yuanheng had never seen this kind of woman before. Although he had seen Sun Jinzi before when he went to his aunt's home, she was too young, and he liked this kind of woman who was mature like peaches.
Zhuang Fei felt that the eyes that were always on her face was annoying, and when she looked over, she saw Liu Yuanheng sitting not far away from her son. She was annoyed, but she pursed her lips and retracted her gaze.
Jin Chuyi's gaze also swept across Liu Yuanheng's body before he embarrassedly retracted his gaze. However, in his heart, he really wanted to take this kind of woman as his own.
Jin Chupei was not alarmed, he only raised his wine cup and played with it at his fingertips, but did not drink, and occasionally looked at Sun Jinzi. Seeing that she was not looking at him, he could only retract his gaze, and watch the chaotic scene.
Jin Chuao knew that Zhuang Fei would not help him, but her words sounded like he was helping him. Not just him, even Yu Fei looked very surprised.
”Love Consort is right. This delicate lateral consort has only been here for a short while, and you're already thinking about her. ”It's yours. No matter what, we can't get away. Let's talk about it later.”
Jin Chuyi placed his wine cup on the table, the sound was not loud, but it was as though it struck right into the hearts of the people, obviously the matter was already confirmed, even the First Prince had no way of resisting.
Jin Chuao gritted his teeth as he sat back down on his seat. Feeling the gazes that came from all directions land on him, Jin Chuao felt that these people were watching him get more lively. He felt even more displeased, so he picked up the wine cup from the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Sun Jinning cast a sidelong glance, and obediently lifted up the wine jug, filling the jug to the brim. It was only because Jin Chuao was currently angry and it was all because of him that his proposal to marry had been rejected by the royal father.
He snatched the wine pot away and poured the wine for himself.
Sun Jinning opened her mouth in shock. She tried her best to endure, but her eyes were still red.
When Sun Jinzi raised his head, he saw this scene, she was also helpless, but these things were things that she could not decide, but when she shook her head and sighed, Sun Jinning just so happened to see it.
Seeing Sun Jinning's resentful glare, Sun Jinzi felt helpless, she was also being discussed just now, and furthermore, the emperor had publicly rejected her in the main hall. The one who should have had the least face should have been her.
Jin Chuao thought that Sun Jinzi was just comforting her and smiled at her. However, when Sun Jinzi saw this smile, she hurriedly lowered his head and did not look at him. Unable to help it, Jin Chuao's expression changed a few times.
”Your majesty, look. This First Prince, this Sixth Prince, your majesty has already been bestowed a marriage, but right now Xuan Er is still alone. What do you think?”
When Zhuang Fei's bright eyes looked at him, Jin Chuyi felt as if his heart was about to melt. He patted Zhuang Fei's hand which was on his arm, then turned to look at Jin Chuxuan.
All the young mistresses had long heard of Imperial Concubine Zhuang's words. Furthermore, looking at the Emperor's intentions, it seemed that she also wanted to choose an imperial concubine for Fourth Prince. All of them blushed and lowered their heads.
Qian Linxi was the same as well. With a red face and a lowered head, even a part of his neck had been dyed pink.
Jin Chuxuan never thought that Zhuang Fei would suddenly mention this, when he turned his head to look at the shy young ladies, he felt a wave of disgust in his heart. From his point of view, other than the ladies and Sun Jinzi, everyone else present seemed to have been drugged with aphrodisiac.
He was simply unable to imagine what sort of mentality he would have when he married a prince's consort and faced a girl that loved and admired him every day.
”matriarch!”
When Zhuang Fei heard her son call her, she only smiled at him. An understanding expression made Jin Chuxuan even more uneasy.
When she saw that her son's gaze was still focused on Qian Family's table just now, Zhuang Fei was even more assured.
”Your majesty, what do you think?”
Jin Chuyi knew that Zhuang Fei had already made up his mind. As long as he opened his mouth, he would agree to anything. No matter how he chose, at that time, he would probably just be the one to choose an official. If she could think for Xuan Er, he would naturally agree.
