Chapter 65 Marriage

The day after Dugulan was canonized as the crown princess, Emperor Xia then crowned Xia Kang, the third prince, as King Kang, and married Li Rongrong, the daughter of Prime Minister Li, as the princess on June 30.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone is busy with Li Rongrong's upcoming marriage to the palace and become a princess, and the rewards in the palace are also continuous. People with intentions have roughly estimated that the reward of Emperor Xia is 3 million taels of silver. More people compared it with Ke Ruyan, the daughter of the Marquis of Ning, who entered the emperor's uterus. At that time, the reward was only two million silver.

No matter the high-ranking prime minister or the people begging along the street, no one will refuse the ** brought by silver. Although Li Jinglue is full of joy about the reward of Emperor Xia on the one hand, on the other hand, his position is on the side of the prince. Everyone knows that the prince and Xia Kang, no, are not exactly the same as King Kang. Now his daughter has become Princess Kang, which means that to some extent, he, who supports the prince, has contact with King Kang. This made Li Jinglue very worried.

"Miss, you are about to become a princess. Why are you depressed all day?"

"I don't like him, I don't like him." Li Rongrong angrily knocked over the bird's nest on the table.

Xiao Ling quickly leaned over and packed up the porcelain pieces that fell to the ground and the steaming bird's nest: "Miss, calm down, don't be angry."

"Why? Why should I marry someone I don't like? In the Luan mirror, the rouge was stained with tears. Li Rongrong lay on the table and sobbed in an extremely aggrieved voice.

"Master." Xiaoling, who had packed up the fragments, saw Li Jinglue coming in. After lying down to salute, she lowered her head and hurried away.

Li Jing sighed slightly and walked to Li Rongrong, who cried into tears: "Rongrong, you are about to become a princess. Why are you still so childish? You will be laughed at when it spread out."

"Dad, I don't want to marry him. I don't want to marry him. Dad, you go and tell the emperor to take back the imperial edict."

"Nonsense, there is no joke, how can this be a child's play?" Li Jing slightly brushed his sleeves and said angrily, "Becoming a princess is something that many noble women of a family can't envy. Fortunately, you still play with your child's temper here."

"I don't want to be a princess, don't be his princess."

"Don't be a princess? So what do you want to do?"

Li Rongrong sobbed in a low voice and looked aggrieved: "Daughter...my daughter already has someone she likes."

"Who do you like?" Li Jing slightly suppressed his anger and asked, "Which prodigal do you like?"

"It's not a prodigal son. He is... He is... His Royal Highness."

"Seven His Royal Highness..." Li Jing frowned slightly. In fact, at first, he really hoped that Li Rongrong could marry Xia Wuchen, who had the same direct blood as the prince, so that in the future, whether Xia Yan or Xia Wuchen inherit the throne, Li Jingluo could hold the power of the whole court. Now, an imperial edict of Emperor Xia has put him in a dilemma between the prince and King Kang.

"Dad, go and talk to the emperor, please take back the imperial edict."

"Rongrong, you are my father's daughter, and everything should be put Li first. Now that the emperor has issued the imperial edict, you must obey it. What's more, King Kang is also a dragon and phoenix among people. If you can become his princess, that's what many noble women envy. Be obedient and stop being childish.

"But...but..."

"No, Rongrong. In fact, Dad doesn't want you to marry His Highness, but the emperor's order can't be disobeyed. If you continue to make trouble like this, I'm afraid that Dad will be in a different place.

When Li Rongrong heard her father say that, she felt even more wronged and burst into tears: "Dad, why, why does her daughter marry someone she doesn't like?"

"This is all life." Li Jing gently patted his sobbing daughter, the emperor's house, how can there be no family affection?

"Give it to the master, King Kang beg for a meeting." A family member reported.

"Rongrong, hurry up and sort it out. You can't let the prince see you like this." Li Jing said briefly and walked out quickly.

In the hall, Xia Kang stood with his hands on his hands. Compared with Xia Yan, Xia Kang, who has been on the battlefield for ten years, feels more reliable. If he is out of his identity, he may also be able to compete with the prince. Unfortunately, according to the law of the State of Xia, it is impossible for the concubine prince to inherit the throne in any case.

"Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time." Li Jing said with a smile, "Come on, don't make tea yet."

"The Prime Minister doesn't have to be so polite. I just came today to see if the Prime Minister is well."

"Ha ha... The prince's words are really a broken minister."

"Lord Prime Minister... I don't know if I can take a step to speak."

In the study, Xia Kang looked around and finally appeared in front of a landscape painting called Jiaolong into the Cloud.

"If I remember correctly, this dragon into the cloud was originally treasured by the Cang country, and my father rewarded you with this precious picture scroll worth 100,000 taels of silver. It can be seen that Prime Minister Li is enough to be called the mainstay in the court."

"Ha ha, the prince laughed."

Xia Kang turned around and said, "Actually, I have always been curious about something. Why did the Prime Minister choose to support the prince who is full of conspiracy and tricks? Isn't His Royal Highness Seven better than him?

"The prince is the monarch of the future. As a subordinate, he should support the prince." Li Jing lowered his head slightly and suddenly found that Xia Kang was no longer the prince who had no power and power in the court ten years ago. At this moment, the momentum emitted from Xia Kang's body was a little murderous.

"Oh?" Xia Kang's voice suddenly raised and looked at Li Jingluo with a slight smile, "So now that Prime Minister Li's daughter has become my princess, what should you do?"

"Your Majesty, there is an old saying, and there is a division between the concubine, and it must not be chaotic."

"So the Prime Minister means that even if your daughter becomes my princess, the Prime Minister will still choose the prince, right?"

"Ha ha... Since the prince is here, it's better to meet the little girl." Li Jing changed his words and walked out of the study. "Your Majesty, please come this way."

June Fangfei, the courtyard is full of flowers, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

" Prime Minister, I'm afraid this is not very good, my daughter's boudoir..."

"Haha, Prince, if you say so, we will be a family soon." Li Jing said with a smile, "Now that Rongrong is a princess-to-be, you can naturally come."

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Kang heard a slight cry and looked around, and the room was in a mess. Looking at Li Jinglue's face, he is already very pale.

"Your Majesty, please avoid it first."

"No, I want to see the princess."

"Get out of here." Li Rongrong looked at each other angrily.

Xia Kang was stunned. He didn't expect Li Rongrong to be so angry: "You asked me to get out?"

"Yes, I just want you to get out. Don't think that I will marry you after the emperor's decree. I tell you, even if I die, I won't marry you."

"Rongrong." Prime Minister Li Cheng shouted angrily, "Why are you so ignorant that you don't apologize to the prince?"

"No, I don't want it."

"Your Majesty, the little girl is usually spoiled by her wife. I hope you won't be surprised." Li Jing said with a smile.

" Prime Minister, can you allow me to say a few words with your daughter?"

"This..." Li Jing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Well, then Weichen will leave first."

After Li Jing slightly left, Li Rongrong picked up the teacup in her hand and smashed it like Xia Kang. Xia Kang leaned sideways and the teacup fell to his feet. Then he sat on a chair not far from Li Rongrong and looked at Li Rongrong indifferently.

No matter how Li Rongrong cursed, Xia Kang just looked at him with indifferent eyes as if he didn't hear it.

"You...get out of here..."

"How can a wife ask her husband to get out?"

"You are not my husband, and I won't marry you."

"Oh? Am I so annoying? Or do you already have someone in your heart?

"Yes, I just have someone I like."

"Who is it?"

"Your Highness, the person I like is Your Highness. So, you should die as soon as possible."

Xia Kang looked at Li Rongrong with great interest: "So you like Lao Qi. Don't you know that Lao Qi has fallen in love with Ling Yue?"

"So what? It is impossible for the emperor to allow the seventh highness to take a subjugated princess.

"Oh? Then I'm sorry to tell you that my father will marry Ling Yue to Lao Qi in a few days.

"Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it."

"Whether you believe it or not. Now you have become my princess, so please do what you should sit on. Otherwise... I will make you die miserably."

"You...you threatened me?"

"It's kind of. In fact, I don't like you either. If you would rather die than be my princess, then I will fulfill you, and you can die now. At worst, after his death, the emperor was giving Ji a princess honor or something, which was a good death. Well, that's all you have to say. You can do it yourself."

After saying that, Xia Kang got up and left without looking back.

"Come back." Li Rongrong roared.

But Xia Kang didn't seem to hear it. He strode out of the courtyard and then walked out of the Prime Minister's mansion.

What he just said to Li Rongrong was not angry. To some extent, he preferred the unruly and wayward daughter to hang himself directly in the room. In this way, he doesn't have to marry a woman he doesn't like, so the best way is for Li Rongrong to die, so that everything will be fine.

But Xia Kang also knew that even if Li Rongrong had a thousand in her heart and ten thousand did not want to, she would not really seek death.

People are strong, but they won't die all of a sudden.

As Xia Kang guessed, Li Rongrong was not tired of death, but was so excited that she started her marriage in person. Li Jinglue was also surprised by the sudden change. What did Xia Kang say to his daughter? However, no matter what Li Jingluo asked, Li Rongrong kept silent.

But from Li Rongrong's eyes, Li Jingluo saw a feeling called revenge. This made him feel deeply uneasy.
