The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 315

[Chapter 315 Reluctant]

The emperor naturally knew Su Lin’s intention, so he looked unhappy.

Whether from an emotional or political perspective, Yang Zhiqing would never marry Su Lin.

Yang Zhiqing is both talented and beautiful. There are many outstanding men in the whole Chu who are willing to marry her. The total number of men can even make the entire capital city three weeks.

Compared with her suitors, Su Lin can only be ranked at the end.

After all, apart from his status as a prince, he has no other conditions to be commended.

“But I don’t know what Mr. Yang thinks?”

The emperor naturally didn’t want them to get married, but he couldn’t think of any other reason now, so he could only throw the ball to Yang Sheng.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Yang Sheng.

As long as Yang Sheng nodded, the situation in the court immediately changed dramatically.

And the others in the same camp with him were naturally unwilling. If the eldest prince really married the Yang family, then the throne would undoubtedly belong to the eldest prince.

But the reason why they didn’t stand on the side of the big house was because they saw that his qualifications were mediocre. If he became the emperor, the Great Chu would be finished.

Moreover, the power of Prime Minister Liu was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a vague phenomenon of foreign relatives interfering in politics.

The throne fell into the hands of the eldest prince, or rather, into the hands of the Liu family!

I’m afraid that the country will change hands!

Change the surname to Liu!

“My daughter has always been independent, and we as parents cannot interfere in marriage. The eldest prince is excellent, but this matter depends on my daughter’s wishes.”

Yang Sheng was naturally an old sly. Although he didn’t want Yang Zhiqing to marry Su Lin, he didn’t directly say no.

Moreover, in everyone’s mind, his image was that he was more pampering to Yang Zhiqing, so there was actually no big problem with his words.

It was just kicking the ball to Yang Zhiqing again.

“So what if it’s not what Miss Yang wants? Or if Miss Yang already has someone in her heart, she can take this opportunity to say it out. I can’t bear to ruin a marriage.”

The emperor looked at Yang Zhiqing with a smile.

What he meant by saying this was actually very clear.

As long as Yang Zhiqing said that she had someone she liked, then the proposal of the eldest prince Su Lin would naturally fail.

He also had reason to reject the eldest prince’s request with good reason.

So when he heard the emperor’s words, the eldest prince’s face turned black.

The other ministers quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yang Sheng did not agree outright, otherwise, all their previous efforts would be in vain!

“Reply to the emperor, your servant…”

Yang Zhiqing stood up suddenly, but she looked at the emperor and couldn’t speak for a while.

She thought the emperor was majestic, but she was stunned again after meeting the emperor’s loving eyes.

Then He Ziqi quietly pulled the corner of her clothes.

“Leave the table!”

He Ziqi reminded in a low voice.

Her sister was really confused, but Yang Zhiqing was also facing the emperor so directly for the first time, and she was still confused by Su Lin’s public courtship just now.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am not familiar with the eldest prince, so I can’t fulfill his wish.”

Yang Zhiqing seemed to have just come to her senses. She hurriedly walked out of her seat and knelt in the center of the hall.

Although she was kneeling at this time, her voice spread throughout the whole hall, and she rejected Su Lin’s courtship in public.

She has always been a person with goals and opinions, otherwise she would not have resolutely learned poetry and songs when everyone chose that women’s virtue is not talent. Although

she has some contact with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is still more proficient in poetry.

If the imperial examination allowed women to participate, Yang Zhiqing’s ability must be no worse than most men!

“Why? Is this prince not good enough?”

Su Lin naturally did not expect Yang Zhiqing to reject him in person, so he stood up from his seat suddenly, his face full of anger.

What exactly is not good enough about him? There are many women in this world who want to sit on the position of his main wife.

After all, he is the one who has the best chance of getting the throne now. If she becomes his princess, she will be able to ascend to the throne one day.

That is the most noble woman in the world!

But Yang Zhiqing actually looked down on him at all, and even rejected him directly in public without caring about his face!

“The eldest prince is naturally a dragon and phoenix among men. I am not talented. I know that I have no talent and no virtue, and I am not worthy of the eldest prince.”

However, Yang Zhiqing shook her head. She didn’t know whether the eldest prince’s conditions were good or not, and she

didn’t intend to judge too much. But she really didn’t know the eldest prince at all, and she didn’t plan to spend the rest of her life with him.

After all, at this time, her heart…

already had another person!

Yang Zhiqing thought so, and took the opportunity to look at the eldest prince, pretending to be indifferent and glanced at Su Yu.

Su Yu happened to be looking at her, and Yang Zhiqing was like a frightened rabbit, and quickly retracted her eyes and lowered her head even lower.

Su Yu frowned a little. Yang Zhiqing rejected the emperor in front of so many people. I am afraid that the emperor will bear a grudge.

He has always understood the emperor’s character. If you can’t get something, you must destroy it.

“How can the daughter of the Yang family be called talentless and immoral? If you say you are talentless, then there are not many talented women in the world.”

The emperor commented with a smile.

As for the proposal of the eldest prince, the emperor deliberately ignored it.

This also indirectly proves the emperor’s high evaluation of Yang Zhiqing. At this time, the sons of several other officials in the hall immediately had a light in their eyes.

They are naturally also pleased with Yang Zhiqing.

It’s just that they have always thought that Yang Zhiqing’s status should marry into the royal family, so they dare not express their feelings.

At this time, Yang Zhiqing said that the eldest prince was too outstanding and directly rejected the eldest prince’s courtship.

Does this mean that they still have a chance?

No matter what the people on the scene thought, the eldest prince’s face was extremely dark.

Chatting was also frowning. Only then did he understand what Yang Sheng meant by what he heard at the door yesterday.

It seems that Yang Sheng had already expected that the eldest prince would take advantage of this opportunity today to propose to marry Yang Zhiqing in the hall.

But his current identity is very complicated. If he rejected the eldest prince’s opinion, if the eldest prince really ascended the throne one day, the Yang family would be in danger!

And Yang Zhiqing might also be abducted.

“Disciple, can you…”

As expected, when Lin Tian looked up, he saw Yang Sheng looking at him, silently signaling with his eyes.

But the next second, a black-clothed guard came to Lin Tian’s side and said a few words to him.
