Medical Princess

Chapter 400 Who Did Uncle Prefer

“Only Prince Zhou and Prince Chen?” Prince Cheng frowned tightly.

“Yes, only these two Princes. There were no other people who were particularly eye-catching!” said Xiqi.

“Did Great Elder Princess come?” Prince Cheng no longer asked about the matter, but changed a topic.

“Great Elder Princess had come just now. And she was greeting female guests in it. Just now she also instructed me to bring people over here for a while and let Prince take a good look clearly. She said Prince should pick a few of them that you liked!”

Xiqi reported.

There was no female elders or concubine of Prince Cheng in Prince Cheng’s mansion. There must be someone to greet so many Misses from aristocratic families. Rui’an Great Elder Princess was his elder. So it was appropriate to greet the Misses for him in the inner court. In addition, considering her identity, if she thought someone was good, Prince Cheng would listen to her.

“Ask them to come here!” Prince Cheng thought for a moment, and then turned back to the topic lightly. A piece of paper fell silently in his wide sleeve from his hands. This was the list that Jieyan great master gave him just now. Although the ladies on the paper were younger, they had a good reputation.

The first was Qin Wanru’s reputation.

Although he thought they were all right, Prince Cheng thought that he still had to pick, otherwise if he just picked from these names, the emperor would have doubts.

“Yes, I will immediately invite the two Princes!” Xiqi retreated with a smile. Soon he led Chu Liuzhou and Chu Liuchen come here from below.

Chu Liuzhou came forward with large strides, while Chu Liuchen was brought by several people in a wheelchair.

He sat crookedly in a large round chair, covered with a snow-colored fox fur coat, and his face was even whiter than snow, showing great weakness. His black hair was tied up by a white jade crown, which made him seem to be as white as snow. He was unparalleled handsome with a bit of honor.

But because of the pale lip of him, his beauty made him seem to be a handsome boy in the ink and wash. Although he lacked vitality, he gained more elegance.

Several guards carried him to the pavilion and let him sit down before revering respectfully.

Chu Liuzhou came over early and laughed with Prince Cheng. “I heard that Uncle would have some joyous occasions. So I asked the allowance from Imperial Grandmother to see what kind of beauty can enter Uncle’s eyes by the way.”

“Uncle!” Chu Liuchen said lightly, and coughed lowly. Xiao Xuanzi hurried forward and pulled the clothes for him, and then carefully retreated behind him, looking at the half-down curtain around the pavilion. His face relaxed.

Obviously, he was worried that his master would be blown by the wind, but even so, Xiao Xuanzi was so responsible that he still walked to the position of the wind, and told Xiqi to ask people to pull the curtain facing the wind down.

“Sit down!” Prince Cheng said to Chu Liuzhou and asked Chu Liuchen with care, “Do you feel better now? How can you follow Prince Zhou to come here? His body is fine but your body can not stand anything. If anything happens, it would make Imperial Grandmother’s heart ache!”

Upon hearing these words, Chu Liuzhou’s complexion became a bit stiff. He stared at Chu Liuchen. Although he was emotionless, he looked to be very cold.

Even if Chu Liuchen looked like this, Chu Liuzhou avoided him as a taboo.

Chu Liuchen glanced at Prince Cheng calmly, as if he did not see Chu Liuzhou’s slightly changed face. His lips slightly ticked and he said, “Thank you for your care, my uncle. My body is fine. Imperial Grandmother means that you can have a look at these selected ladies. Imperial Grandmother feels that they are good. Would you like to see them first?”

Chu Liuchen said with a glance at Chu Liuzhou.

Chu Liuzhou hurriedly hid his worries, and he took an imperial edict from the little eunuch behind him, respectfully handing it to Prince Cheng, “Uncle, please take a look. These ladies are said to be excellent in reputation, family background and conduct. I don’t know whether my uncle would love one of them?”

This was the wife that the emperor chose for him?

Prince Cheng sneered, taking the imperial edict emotionlessly with much respect. He was also regarded as the adopted son of Empress Dowager and had seen many imperial edicts in daily life. Empress Dowager always appreciated him. Since there was no outsider here, it was unnecessary for the eunuch to read it out again.

Opening the imperial edict on the table and looking at the names of ladies on it, Prince Cheng knew that the words of Jieyan great master were right. The Misses Empress Dowager chose for him were basically not young. Once elected, they could get married. Their reputation was not good and not bad. And the status of their families was not high and not low.

“Just these Misses?” After Prince Cheng finished looking, he frowned.

“Uncle, you don’t like them?” Prince Zhou asked with a smile, and came here to look curiously. After looking at it, he thought for a while and pointed at a name and said, “I hear that this lady is a big beauty. Wouldn’t it be that Uncle doesn’t like her?”

Prince Cheng sat down with a bitter smile. He took the tea at hand, and took a sip before whispering slowly, “Actually I don’t want to marry a wife. But Empress Dowager has always asked me to marry one and she doesn’t allow me to not have children. But these young Misses… I really don’t like them very much…”

Prince Zhou’s eyes rolled around, and he became more and more curious. “What kind of girl do you like? The world is so big. Imperial Grandmother can find the girl that you like.”

Before he came, he was repeatedly warned by his mother that he must let Prince Cheng marry quickly. As for other matters, they could discuss them later.

“Actually, I also don’t like these Misses. Although I haven’t seen some of them, I heard the reputation of some of them before. Although their reputation is not so good and not so bad, if they are really good, why haven’t they had any engagement?” Prince Cheng sighed with a worried face.

Marriage was a matter of life, and it is normal for him to be concerned about it at this time.

Chu Liuchen calmly picked up the cup of hot tea at hand, took a sip, and then put it down. His handsome face showed some smile, and he said, “What kind of woman do my uncle want to marry as your wife?”

“Yeah! Uncle, tell me what kind of girl do you want? There are some many Misses of aristocratic families. Don’t you like anyone of them?” Chu Liuzhou did come here with an attitude as a looker-on today. It was really the duty that he had asked for, but of course he was forced by Empress Dowager to accompany Chu Liuchen here and take care of him.

Chu Liuzhou didn’t understand why did Chu Liuchen come here. Was it possible for him to watch the fun? When would Chu Liuchen do such a thing? In the past, he was so proud and always ignored him. He was even very arrogant because of the affection of Imperial Grandmother. This time, he intended to be arrogant in the mansion of Prince Cheng?

But he didn’t seem to be like this for his polite attitude?

But if he really came here sincerely for Prince Cheng to choose his wife, it was very weird no matter how he looked at it. He felt that it should not be true!

So why did he come here?

“I didn’t want to choose originally, but since this is the meaning of Empress Dowager, then I’ll choose. But these are not very desirable… Empress Dowager’s vision is slightly different from mine after all!”

Prince Cheng said with a look of distress.

Prince Zhou seemed to have found a confidant, and patted the table vigorously. “Uncle, you are right. The ideas of Imperial Grandmother and mother are naturally different from ours.”

For this, Prince Zhou also felt the same. He almost succeeded in choosing a concubine or wife before. But at that time, he did not like anyone that the Empress showed him. And none of those he originally liked was on the list. Several of those who he didn’t choose were on the list.

Looking at the names Empress chose for him, Prince Zhou opposed it immediately. But his objection was invalid before Empress. Empress listed lots of Misses of aristocratic families with excellent family background. And they were of a good reputation. As for the appearance, according to the meaning of Empress, family background was the most important thing as long as they were not so ugly.

If it weren’t for the reasons of Chu Liuchen that they didn’t decide well, Empress would have decided the wife of him at that time.

Whenever Prince Zhou thought about this, he felt fortunate. Fortunately, there was such a sick Chu Liuchen. Otherwise he would have been forced to get married by his mother at that time!”

A fair maiden is there, a gentleman is wooing. Even if ordinary people know that they want to marry a beautiful one, why should he only marry one with good family background!

Prince Zhou was very unconvinced by this. When Prince Cheng said so now, he immediately felt that he understood the meaning of Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng had certainly fallen in love with someone. But because the conditions of the girl were not so good, Imperial Grandmother rejected her. So Prince Cheng was very upset, and had the remarks from the heart just now.

Prince Zhou couldn’t decide his own marriage. But he wanted to help Prince Cheng. He immediately put his head over here enthusiastically, and lowered his voice. “I don’t know whose Miss do my uncle like? It’s better for me to help you mention her in front of Imperial Grandmother. Even if she could not be your wife, she could certainly be a concubine!”

Chu Liuchen sat in a wheelchair, leaning on one side. He played a piece of jade in his hand with a light smile. But his eyes glanced over here and fell on the face of Prince Cheng with an ambiguous smile.

“Actually… there is a good girl. But she is very young…” Prince Cheng’s mentality was told by Prince Zhou and he said bashfully.

“What does it matter to be young? You are not old, my uncle!” Prince Zhou spared no effort to help Prince Cheng get married. So he stood on his side with his whole heart.

The jade in Chu Liuchen’s hand moved a bit slowly. But then he played it again. His eyes turned back from the face of Prince Cheng. His attention fell on his own hand. The jade in his slender hands was clear like water. It was definitely a rare piece of jade.

“She.. .is really very young. So it is inconvenient for her to get married soon!” Prince Cheng appeared to have not given full expression to his views. He shook his head in distress, sighed slightly, and smiled bitterly. “You are still young; you won’t understand!”

“Uncle, you are looking down upon me, right! How could I don’t understand? There are sex-educating palace maids from the palace in my mansion early. But I hear that my third brother throws out anyone sent to him!” Prince Zhou looked at Chu Liuchen with a graceless smile and said cryptically.

Chu Liuchen raised up his eyes slightly, and said calmly, “I won’t accept ugly one!”

Prince Zhou’s smile became embarrassed, and he stared severely at Chu Liuchen who had lowered his head. Didn’t he mean that Prince Zhou would accept those ugly ones?

This sick one was going to die but he was still so sharp! He didn’t want to pay attention to Chu Liuchen. He turned his head to Prince Cheng and looked to be very sincere. “My uncle, tell me who do you like? If you tell me, I will certainly help you ask for the permits in the palace. No matter who she is, how young she is, since she would not be your wife, it doesn’t matter if she enters your mansion a few years later!”

“I…” Prince Cheng hesitated. Then he said the name under the encouraging eyesight of Prince Zhou.

The sound of “pop” came from the side, and the words of the two were interrupted. The jade in Chu Liuchen’s hands fell down into a few pieces
