Chapter 134 Marriage Dispute
The Queen Mother looked at her four grandchildren, shook her head gently and said nothing.
When Emperor Taihe saw Queen Mother Wang's expression, he understood what she meant. He smiled and said to his sons, "I called you all here today because I want to ask you what you think."
From what Emperor Taihe and Queen Mother Wang had said just now, the princes had actually guessed why Emperor Taihe had called them over. However, none of them showed any emotion, pretending to be ignorant.
Emperor Taihe did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Xie Huan, the Princess of Anyang County, I think you have all heard about it. I asked you to come here today because I want to give Anyang to one of you as my principal wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people's expressions changed.
The first to speak was the youngest, Xia Hongbin.
Almost as soon as Emperor Taihe finished speaking, the Fifth Prince jumped up from his chair and said in horror, "Father, I don't want to marry Anyang! Anyang is a vulgar, tasteless, arrogant, barbaric and rude girl! I don't like her!"
Emperor Taihe frowned and stared at the Fifth Prince with displeasure, "Shut up! Who told you these nonsense?"
"Everyone is talking about it! If you don't believe me, ask my second, third, and fourth brothers. It's spread all over the palace!" The fifth prince said with disdain, "Everyone says that she has no rules and doesn't know etiquette. Wherever she goes, there's trouble! Not only did she bump into many old ladies and dowagers, she also beat people in public! Oh, by the way, the one she beat was my third brother's cousin from his uncle's family! Third brother, don't you agree?"
The Third Prince Xia Hongyang nodded awkwardly, "It is true."
After receiving the affirmative answer from the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince became even more excited. "Father, you don't know that the Princess of Anyang not only beat up Third Prince's cousin, but also humiliated Second Sister in public! Second Sister is a princess! She doesn't even take Princesses seriously. She, she is simply lawless!"
“还有，还有，她身边有几个武艺高强的婢女，以后她要是让婢女揍我怎么办？嘶！不要，我死也不要娶她！”
Emperor Taihe's face darkened after hearing what the fifth prince said.
How could he not know what the Fifth Prince said? However, Anyang has its own advantages!
The Queen Mother was also unhappy. She glanced at the Fifth Prince and sneered, "Oh, Fifth Prince, why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like? With your short stature and skinny appearance, you still have the nerve to look down on Anyang?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the Fifth Prince, a short, fat, big winter melon. The Queen Mother was right. Everyone withdrew their gazes and silently suppressed their laughter.
The Fifth Prince was also unhappy when he heard what he said. He immediately looked at the Queen Mother with a sad face and a wronged expression, "Grandmother, are you my grandson's grandmother or the Anyang County Princess's grandmother? How can you say this about your own grandson?"
The Queen Mother smiled and glared at him, "I am old now, and now I just want to have fun. Whoever can make me happy, I will recognize him as my grandson."
Emperor Taihe also laughed and looked at the fifth prince jokingly, "Did you see that? Now Anyang's position in your grandmother's heart is higher than yours!"
The fifth prince pursed his lips and sat back in his seat in frustration, but he still muttered quietly, "Then I won't marry her either!"
Emperor Taihe shook his head and turned to look at the others.
The second prince stood up quickly and bowed, saying, "Father, at my age, I am old enough to be the father of Anyang County Lady. Moreover, I have already married a wife."
Emperor Taihe waved his hand and looked at the Second Prince as if he were a fool. "How could I not know this?"
The Second Prince looked at Emperor Taihe with a confused look in his eyes, "Then why did your Majesty ask me to come here...?"
Emperor Taihe sighed. Queen Mother Wang also sighed silently in her heart. Who could have thought that such a scheming and cunning queen would give birth to such a stupid and simple son as the second prince?
Emperor Taihe did not let the Second Prince guess and asked directly: "Isn't Xuyang almost fifteen? What do you think of him and Anyang?"
The second prince was startled, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face. Without even thinking, he refused, "Father, I'm afraid this won't work. Queen Mother has already said that she wants to decide Xuyang's marriage herself."
It seems that his father's words are not as effective as his mother's? The Queen Mother was speechless. Based on this sentence, the second son would never have the possibility of becoming the crown prince.
Emperor Taihe also looked helpless and waved his hand unhappily, "Surname, I know."
The second prince quickly smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your consideration, father." After saying that, he sat down as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
It's the third prince's turn.
But before the Third Prince could speak, the Fourth Prince spoke first: "Father, I don't want to marry the Princess of Anyang either."
The fourth prince looked at the third prince apologetically. If the third prince had refused first, he would be the only one left. His father might have forced him to marry Anyang in a rage! As the saying goes, it is better to let a friend die than to let me die! He could only feel sorry for his third brother.
"What's the reason?" Emperor Taihe asked in a low voice, with a hint of anger.
The fourth prince's eyes rolled, and he quickly said, "Father, a few days ago, Mother had already found someone for me. I will ask for your permission after I meet him in the next few days."
"How outrageous!" Emperor Taihe finally lost his temper. He slammed the coffee table, stood up and was about to kick the Fourth Prince. Fortunately, the Queen Mother pulled him back. He was able to suppress his anger and retract his foot that was halfway raised.
"Do you mother and son still have me in your eyes? How dare you secretly look for a marriage partner for you without my knowledge? Who gave her the courage?"
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, "Father, please calm down! Father, please calm down!"
Upon seeing this, the other princes also knelt on the ground.
Queen Mother Wang reached out and patted Emperor Taihe's back to help him calm down. Then she glared at him in reproach: "How old are you? You're still so angry! Aren't you afraid that you'll get hurt?"
Emperor Taihe was silent. The Queen Mother had said before that none of his sons would be willing to marry Anyang, but she didn't expect it to come true this time.
"If you ask me, if they don't want to marry, Anyang may not be willing to marry either! I think with Anyang's personality, she should either be matched with someone who can go crazy and play with her, or someone who can tolerate her wholeheartedly and infinitely. Take a look, are your sons that kind of people?"
Queen Mother Wang said briskly, "Okay, this may not be a bad thing. If you really grant Anyang a marriage, what if she is not happy and resists the marriage? You can't kill her, right? But if you don't kill her, then do you still have the face of the emperor?"
Emperor Taihe smiled bitterly, "How could it come to that? Before granting the marriage, I will naturally ask her wishes first."
Queen Mother Wang looked at Emperor Taihe jokingly, "Oh, you still remember to ask Anyang's opinion first? Then why are you so angry here now? Let me tell you, even if all four of them said they wanted to marry Anyang today, I'm afraid Anyang wouldn't like any of them."
Emperor Taihe pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Not really?"
The Queen Mother said with certainty, "As for that."
Emperor Taihe lost his temper and sighed helplessly, "Then, let's just leave it at that?"
"Let it go." The Queen Mother nodded, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The county lady's mansion had informed her that if the Emperor Taihe showed any signs of granting a marriage, they would help stop it. The county lady's mansion was going to find her own husband for Anyang County Lady! She didn't want to be granted a marriage for no reason!
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded: "Father, I want to marry the Princess of Anyang County!"
