Chapter 47: Marriage

Sure enough, it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and the eunuch said several times in a row, "Please play something", and only then did several court officials report some innocuous things, such as the pig farm in the west of the city for the imperial city to enjoy meat needs to be renovated, and the moat in the north of the city needs to be cleaned regularly and other things related to environmental protection.

Then, there was no more reciprocation.

The emperor was sitting on the golden dragon chair, today's Son of Heaven was in good spirits, and his always pale face had a hint of ruddy, he looked at King Su who was standing below, and said with a smile: "King Su, I heard that Aiqing was frightened yesterday?"

When the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

King Su still had a solemn face that had not changed for thousands of years, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, yesterday the minister was invited to participate in the annual group meeting of the Piaoxiang Society in the capital, and he benefited a lot, as for being frightened, I can't say it, it's just a little bit of a situation." ”

When the civil and military officials of the dynasty all hung their heads and smiled. A small situation? That shouldn't be a small situation? The dignified king of Su was actually teased by an unknown little woman, which is the funniest joke ever.

The emperor smiled and asked, "Whose girl won the first place?"

King Su replied: "The fifth girl of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. ”

"Little fifth of the Gu family?" A look of surprise appeared on the emperor's face, this little fifth of the Gu family, he had never heard of it at all, "Isn't it the second or fourth little of the Gu family?"

King Su replied honestly: "No. ”

The emperor muttered: "I have always heard that the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is good at producing talented women, the second child of the Gu family has always been in the limelight, and the fourth child is not bad, this little fifth ......" He looked at King Su and said with great interest, "What is her specialty, why did she win the first place?"

Su Wang said: "The five girls of the Gu family have a specialty, they are good at identifying the name of the wine with their sense of smell, and during the competition, the twenty-four flavored fruit wine prepared by Cen Guifei was written by her word for word, and she was named after the minister. ”

"My concubine also participated, and also made a referee?" the emperor's interest increased, "I will also go next time." ”

Seeing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty hurriedly said: "The emperor will go in person, and the ministers will definitely accompany him." ”

In fact, the emperor's health has always been bad, and the early dynasty can be short, and saying that he wants to go to such an insignificant banquet as the Heroes Club is just talking, and no one will take it seriously.

After being silent for a while, King Su said: "Speaking of yesterday's incident, the minister is also at fault, the minister doesn't know that Gu Wu girl can't drink, and he drinks at her, making her drunk, in the end, it is the minister who doesn't notice it for a while, and it affects Miss Gu." ”

Speaking of this, he waved back and said loudly: "Marquis Yuanning, this king has come to accompany you." ”

The marquis with the hereditary title will also come to participate in the early dynasty, but because he does not hold an important position, the position is ranked last. At this time, the Marquis of Yuanning, who was standing behind at this time, couldn't help but be startled when he heard King Su say this, and hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "What did King Su say, it was my niece who couldn't drink, and she forgot to take a leave of absence from King Su in advance, but it swept King Su's interest." ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately said: "Yuanning Hou said this is strange, my Zhao Kingdom has been producing wine since ancient times, what woman does not drink? When she gets married, she has to drink three glasses when she enters the man's house!"

King Su's tone was quite cold: "Do you think that this king and the Marquis of Yuanning have joined forces to deceive the king?"

The man was immediately silenced.

Wen Xiang on the side hurriedly said: "This is true that there are women in my dignified Jokhang Kingdom who can't drink." The minister once heard Neiko say that the fifth lady of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion was really drunk when she was drunk, which was also a household name in the capital. So, in this world, there is nothing haha. ”

The emperor nodded: "Wen Aiqing is right, there is nothing in the world, and it is not a new thing that a Zhao woman can't drink." It's King Su that you, who have killed other people's good daughters miserably. ”

King Su lowered his head and said: "The minister is afraid, and he must personally come to the door to apologize to Miss Gu." ”

Yuanning Hou was startled, and his white face turned red. He was an insignificant marquis, how could he dare to come to apologize to King Su? Isn't that going to kill him? In a panic, he hurriedly waved his hand: "King Su, this can't be done, this can't be done." ”

The emperor smiled "haha": "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings." According to me, this time Gu Xiaowu of Yuanning Mansion was also frightened, but his temperament was strong, and he couldn't drink half a cup of alcohol. ”

Yuanninghou was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that a windfall would fly. was pushed by the person next to him, and then he came to his senses and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

The emperor motioned for Yuanninghou to stand up, and asked with a smile: "Yuanninghou, do you have a little five and a half?"

Yuanning Hou didn't know why, and replied: "This year is fourteen, and next year will be in time." ”

The emperor asked again: "Is it a marriage match?"

Although the Marquis of Yuanning didn't understand what the emperor meant, he seemed to mean marriage when he heard the tone. Thinking about his little Yuanning Marquis, when did he get such favor from the emperor, his heart immediately "thumped" so hard that he almost jumped out of his chest, tried his best to stabilize his mind, and replied respectfully: "I am still young, and I am not married." ”

The emperor praised with a smile: "This little five in your house is really good, she is a good woman, she has such talent at a young age, and she should be matched with a wishful husband." He pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Wenxiang, the crown prince is about to weaken, right?"

According to the customs of the Jokhang Kingdom, a man must be at the age of a weak crown before he can get married. Although the emperor didn't point it out, listening to the tone, it seemed that he had the intention of setting the crown princess for the prince.

Wen Xiang was "Geden" in his heart, he was once the prince's fu, taught the prince to read poetry and literature, and controlled the court, and the decision of the crown princess was also a big matter related to the country's society, and he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the prince will be weak next year." ”

"That's a good idea. The emperor smiled. The ministers standing in the audience understood. It seems that this dynasty will soon have a happy event to do.

Wen Xiang's heart sank suddenly, he didn't expect that when he was unprepared, the candidate for the crown princess would be decided. If it was the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, then what about his sixteen-year-old granddaughter Wen Yan?

The eunuch reported his retreat from the court, and the courtiers watched the emperor leave, and they dispersed.

Wen Xiang bowed his head and walked out with a frown, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, turned around, and saw Lou Shangshu looking at him: "What's the matter, brother?"

Wen Xiang was good friends with Lou Shangshu, and he didn't hide it from him at this time, and sighed heavily.

Wen Xiang's thoughts Lou Shang Shufu didn't know, and said with a slight smile: "Wen Xiang doesn't have to worry about himself, according to my brother, the prince's marriage may not be successful." ”

Wen Xiang couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and asked, "Why does my brother think so?"

Lou Shangshu smiled and whispered in his ear for a while, Wen Xiang suddenly realized, and kept nodding: "Okay, okay, just do it." ”
