Chapter 636: The Son Is Filial and His Father Is Angry
"stop!"
"Yuer, come back soon!"
Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying spoke at the same time again.
Xiao Jingyu turned around, his face full of helplessness.
"Father, Mother, it is indeed getting late. I cannot stay here any longer and disturb your rest.
This is my son's business, it's not important, let's talk about it in the morning court!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyu bowed towards the emperor and empress in the hall, meaning that he was about to leave.
"Xiao Jingyu, come back here!"
Emperor Hong De looked at Xiao Jingyu's indifferent and calm handsome face. He couldn't get angry, annoyed, cry or laugh.
"Yu'er, come and sit down. Your mother has something to say!"
Queen Luan Xiying waved and called out.
Xiao Jingyu seemed to think about it with his head down, and then, as he walked back, he said, "Well, I won't have much time to accompany my father and mother in the future, so I might as well sit with them for a while longer tonight!"
"What do you mean?"
Emperor Hong De asked with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, nothing.
What I mean is that as a prince, I don't have many opportunities to come to the palace to pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen.
From now on, my father and mother will live in the palace, while I, as your son, will be in the world.
I wonder when we will meet again...?"
Xiao Jingyu said seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense!
What do you want to say?
Emperor Hongde glared at his son angrily.
Xiao Jingyu calmly poured himself another cup of tea and took a sip.
Putting down the teacup, Xiao Jingyu sighed, "Alas!
I am in a difficult situation too!
My father is the ruler of a country, and every word he says is of the highest order.
My father has taught me since I was a child that one should be trustworthy and honor his promises.
Now, because of my son's marriage, my father is being bullied by the officials in the court...
It is I who have put your father in an awkward position. I know my crime!
Actually... In my opinion, this matter is not difficult to resolve.
As long as my father issues another imperial decree at the morning court tomorrow, all problems will be solved.
The father can maintain the dignity of the king of a country;
And it can also not go against the wishes of the officials in the court;
At the same time, it can also help Erchen and Yue'er to be together.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone!"
Emperor Hongde looked at the three fingers that Xiao Jingyu stretched out and asked tentatively, "Do you want your father to issue another imperial decree to grant you and Leng Rongyue a marriage?
I tell you, that's impossible!
It is an indisputable fact that Leng Rongyue is the daughter of a criminal.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a precedent in the royal family to marry the prince of the current dynasty with the daughter of a criminal.
So, if you ask me to issue an imperial decree to grant marriage... don't even think about it!
Even if there is another imperial decree to grant marriage, it will be for you to marry a daughter of another family.
As for Leng Rongyue, the daughter of the guilty minister..."
Emperor Hong De shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I think you are wrong!
I, your son, did not even expect your father to issue another imperial decree granting marriage to you and Yue'er!"
Xiao Jingyu waved his hand and said.
"So what is the imperial decree you are talking about...?"
Emperor Hongde looked at Xiao Jingyu suspiciously.
"I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an imperial edict at the morning court tomorrow.
As for the content of the imperial edict...
That is to strip the son of the prince's title;
Strip the son and minister of their royal status;
Remove the name of the son minister from the royal jade book;
Just demote me to a commoner!
Although Yue'er was the daughter of a criminal, neither Shuntian Prefecture nor the Ministry of Justice had convicted her.
No?
However, Yue'er is no longer the daughter of a marquis, and her status has become a commoner.
As long as I become a commoner, the court officials will no longer be able to interfere or make remarks about my marriage with Yue'er!
From now on, we are no longer members of the royal family and can live freely among the people.
Wouldn't this be a quick and easy way to cut the Gordian knot?
This is the simplest and most direct way to solve the current problem.
I am no longer a prince or a grandson of the emperor;
No longer Prince Yu.
I don't think those daughters of wealthy families who are eager to marry into the royal family will chase after a commoner like me, up Yunxiang Mountain, up Qingguo Temple, or all over the land of Jingyue Country!
In this way, the father won't have to worry and the son can get what he wants. Isn't it the best of both worlds?
Your son, Yue'er and I can live in a secluded corner and lead a comfortable and carefree life!
Oh, wait until some time...when my father and my mother are free, they can leave the palace in plain clothes and stay at Yue'er and my home for a few days to enjoy the happiness of family.
Father and mother said, isn't this good? "
Good one...!
Emperor Hong De was so angry that he almost burst into swearing.
"hehe……
You are so filial!
You’re thinking long term!”
Emperor Hong De said this while gritting his teeth.
So... my son came up with a good solution to the problem...
Just abandon your biological parents, abandon your burdensome royal status, marry a beautiful wife, and live your own life!
"Who told Father to deliberately anger this son... and not to tell this son the truth?
Since my father is unwilling to tell the truth to me and unwilling to help me, then I can only think for myself in the long term!
It is said that sons and subjects are naturally the most filial.
If I were not a filial son and were not afraid of making my father angry and something bad happened, I would probably think further ahead!
"Does the emperor believe it?"
