Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

Chapter 510 Chen Huang’s decision



Tang Ning sat beside the bed. After a while, Zhao Man walked out of the secret door.

Compared with just now, her mood was obviously not very high.

Tangning hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Man leaned on his shoulder and said, "Tang Jing came to the Princess Mansion just now. He said that he had asked Concubine Hui to propose marriage to the father. He, he said he wanted to marry me."

Tangning hugged her and said, "He has a beautiful idea!"

Zhao Man raised her head, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked, "You won't let him marry me, will you?"

Tangning pinched his nose and said, "Don't worry, I have a hundred ways to prevent his scheme from succeeding."

Zhao Man nuzzled into his arms and said dissatisfied: "What a treacherous plot, it's so unpleasant..."

Tang Ning had actually been mentally prepared for the fact that Emperor Chen would grant Zhao Man a marriage.

After all, she is actually over the marriageable age now. Princesses like her in the palace have been married off early. Marrying children of certain powerful families in the capital is a good ending for the princess.

Even if it wasn't the Tang family, it would be the Wang family, the Li family or something.

As for the Tang family's marriage proposal this time, Tang Ning was actually not sure whether Chen Huang would agree to it.

Regardless of his position as a father, as an emperor, after the princesses are no longer useful in marriage or marriage, marrying them to ministers or powerful families can also win over a wave of people's hearts or provide comfort.

Although King Duan survived the desperate situation in the past few days and regained a victory from King Kang, in the past two years, he was definitely the loser among the two princes. Even the Tang family was affected. The influence in the hall is not as good as before.

Emperor Chen was well versed in the art of balance. Tang Ning was not sure whether he would agree to Concubine Tang Hui and the Tang family's request to appease Prince Duan of the Tang family, or whether he would listen to Zhao Man's opinion.

A restaurant somewhere in Beijing.

Half a month ago, the curfew in Beijing was lifted. Every night, the business in restaurants is even better than during the day.

In the lobby on the second floor of the restaurant, everyone looked strange when they heard the sound coming from a private room. Many people even stood up angrily and left in a puff of their sleeves.

When drinking, it is common to invite several maids to accompany you. It is not surprising to close the door of the box and do taboo things inside.

But this was the first time for everyone to see such a fierce scene. The screams coming from the box became louder and louder, making everyone blush.

At the door of the box, there were several guards with weapons standing, with expressions on their faces that no strangers should enter, so no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Even if his business was disrupted by this, the restaurant owner could only swallow his anger because the people there were the ones he couldn't afford to offend.

Half an hour later, Tang Jing came out expressionlessly, straightened his slightly messy clothes, and left the restaurant under the gaze of everyone.

Two women hurriedly walked in and helped the woman inside out of the side room.

Everyone looked at this scene and talked a lot.

"That seems to be Tang Jing, the eldest son of the Tang family."

"I have heard of Tang Jing. He is not as dandy as the second young master of the Tang family. He is young and promising, and has a good reputation. Are they all rumors?"

"Ha, the words about good reputation must have been spread by the Tang family themselves. However, Tang Jing's body is really good. For half an hour..."

"Whoever can last for half an hour must have taken medicine..."

……

Tang family.

Tang Huai looked at Tang Jing who walked in and asked, "You came back so late, where have you been?"

Tang Jing did not answer, but looked at him directly and said, "Father, you will go to the palace tomorrow to meet His Majesty and ask for my hand in marriage. I want to marry Princess Pingyang."

Tang Huai frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't be anxious? When the time comes, I will go to see His Majesty."

Tang Jing looked at him and said seriously: "I can't wait any longer!"

Tang Huai looked at him for a long time. After a while, his brows relaxed and he said, "Okay, I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask your Majesty for this matter."

"Thank you dad."

Tang Jing cupped his hands, and when he exited the door, he paused, and a hint of gloom appeared on his face, which then turned into a sneer.

He really wanted to see Tangning's expression after knowing this. He couldn't wait and was so hungry.

……

In the palace, Emperor Chen was walking slowly in the imperial garden. Wei Jian took a large cloak from the guard and said, "Your Majesty, it's cold, please take this cloak."

Emperor Chen put on his big cloak and murmured: "Just now Concubine Hui mentioned Tang Jing and Man'er's marriage to me again. In the past two years, the pressure on the Tang family has indeed been a bit heavy..."

As a king, you need to be relaxed and relaxed. The Tang family had too much power in the court in the past two years. In the past two years, it has been weakened many times and the power is not what it used to be. This is what he wants to see as an emperor.

But if the suppression continues and the forces between the two parties become unbalanced, that will not be what he wants.

After he said something, he seemed to realize something. He looked at Wei Jian and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Wei Jian said: "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't understand the matters of long-term love between women and marriage between men and women..."

Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "You old man, if you thought it was good, you would have agreed with me a long time ago. Do you think this marriage is inappropriate?"

Wei Jian laughed dryly and said, "I just feel that my childhood sweetheart may not be the same when I grow up. The princess seems to have become less close to Tang Jing in the past two years."

Chen Huang frowned and looked at him and asked, "Why do I feel that you seem to know something?"

Wei Jian was startled and said blankly: "Your Majesty said that the old slave is confused. The old slave has been with your Majesty all day long. Whatever the old slave knows, your Majesty also knows..."

Emperor Chen was about to ask again, when suddenly a guard came forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Tang Shangshu has asked for an audience. He is waiting at the door of the imperial study."

Emperor Chen took off his cloak and said, "Go back to the imperial study."

Wei directly took the cloak and was two steps behind Emperor Chen. He sighed and shook his head slightly.

In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Chen walked up, looked at Tang Huai, and said, "Give me a seat."

Tang Huai raised his eyebrows. It was not the first time that he was given a seat in the imperial study, but it was the first time in the past two years.

After moving the chairs left and right, Chen Huang looked at him and asked, "Are you here also for Tang Jing's marriage?"

Tang Huai stood up, knelt down and said: "Jing'er and Princess Changning were childhood sweethearts. I have been attracted to her for a long time. I have the courage to ask your majesty for a marriage..."

Chen Huang looked at him with a trace of contemplation on his face. After a moment, he said: "Get up."

……

Zhao Man was summoned to the palace by Emperor Chen. I don’t know why. There were many celebrations and ceremonies in the royal family during this period, and she needed to appear on many occasions.

Tang Ning was preparing the ingredients. She said she would have hot pot when she came back in the evening. She would have to send someone to Xiao Jue's place to bring some vegetables later. Tang Ning had already made up her mind to grow a batch of fresh vegetables next winter. This winter was not enjoyable at all. , there are no fresh vegetables, and even Tang Yaoji’s desire to eat an assorted casserole every three days cannot be satisfied.

In the royal study, Zhao Man, who had just been summoned into the palace, looked at Emperor Chen and asked, "What does the father want from his son?"

Chen Huang stood up and said: "I am really old. In the blink of an eye, Man'er has grown so big. It won't be long before I get married."

Zhao Man said with a smile: "My father is not old at all. My father will never grow old. Children will not marry and will stay with their father for the rest of their lives."

Chen Huang shook his head and said: "The male students are expected to get married, and the female students are expected to get married. How can they not get married? The reason why my father came to see you today is because of this matter."

Zhao Man's heart skipped a beat, and the next moment a figure appeared in her mind, which immediately calmed her heart.

No matter what happens, as long as he is there, she can feel at ease.

Emperor Chen looked at her and said, "You and Tang Jing are childhood sweethearts and are now of marriageable age. I want to facilitate your marriage. What do you think?"

Zhao Man stepped forward and said in embarrassment: "Father, my son has only regarded Tang Jing as his elder brother since he was a child. He has never thought about these things... Can I not get married?"

"I have already promised the Tang family." Emperor Chen frowned and said, "Tang Jing is a talented person and has a prominent family background. Is there anything else you are dissatisfied with?"

Zhao Man looked up at him, nodded after a long while, and said: "Jun Wu is joking, since my father has agreed, I will listen to my father."

She took a step back and said, "If my father has nothing else to do, I will leave."

Chen Huang watched her leave with a hint of surprise on his face.

He originally thought that if she didn't agree, she would have a big fight with him like before, but he didn't expect that she behaved so well and obediently, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

It seemed that after returning from the Chu Kingdom, she became different from before, less unruly and willful, more mature and steady, and her self-identification in front of him also changed from "Man'er" to "Children".

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt as if he was getting further and further away from her.

He sat back down again, flipped through several memorials, feeling upset, stood up, and murmured: "I am an emperor first, and a father second. Who allowed her to be born into the royal family..."

After a moment, he sighed and said to himself: "Man'er, she must be very sad now, right?"

Tang family.

Zhao Man sat by the stove, holding a small bowl in his hand. While protecting the bowl, he bared his teeth and claws at Tang Ning, "Don't steal my vegetables..."
