Chapter 26 Marriage
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: I heard that the daughter of the general Situ Xin Situ Chengcheng is gentle and frugal, virtuous and dignified...... Specially given marriage to ......" The eunuch recited the holy decree for a long time, but Situ Ningbing only listened to two words: "Marriage".
"See? This is the reward for saving lives. Back in his courtyard, Situ Ningbing threw the holy decree to Jianlian, who was walking behind him.
Seeing that Pian casually copied it, he caught the oncoming holy decree, gritted his teeth and said: "This Yang Yi is really too deceitful, Miss saved his life, and he will take revenge like this!"
Situ Ningbing chuckled and said, "You look down on Yang Yi too much, although he hates me, at most he can only play tricks that can't be put on the table, where did he come up with such a brilliant idea?"
"That's... What do you mean, Miss?"
Situ Ningbing bent down and picked up a canna at his feet and gently combed the petals. The fragrance of flowers was still there, and the faint fragrance of flowers lingered on the tip of her nose. "On the surface, this matter is a small action made by the prince, but it must be fueled by Concubine De's mother and son, but both the prince and Concubine De's mother and son are just pawns in the hands of my good senior brother. β
Seeing pity, he was puzzled: "Why did he do this? What good did it do to him? If the young lady of An Guogong and the young lady of the tyranny of the party married his son-in-law, it would be like a tiger with wings, wouldn't this be bad for him?"
Her words sounded quite reasonable, but Situ Ningbing shook her head and smiled: "Silly girl, how can things be so simple? She didn't wait for Lian to speak, and explained: "Concubine Shu wanted me to be the princess of Qi in order to enhance her power, which was tantamount to luring a wolf into the house for Yang Yan, so it was convenient to use the prince who hated me to the bone and Concubine De, who didn't want to see Concubine Shu's power, mother and son. One came to relieve his own siege. Second... Chang'an City is the center of power, and the longer I stay here, the greater the threat to him, so ......"
"So he wants to transfer the young lady out of Chang'an?" Seeing pity after all, Situ Ningbing understood as soon as she mentioned it, thought about it and asked, "Miss just said that this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, so what is the other purpose?"
"There's one more... It's even more vicious. My father was a general with a heavy army, and An Guogong was also a high-ranking and powerful party, and people like us were the most likely to be suspicious of the emperor and the most likely to be accused of rebellion. Now that a marriage is a rebellion, the suspicion of rebellion is even greater, even if we don't do anything, but as long as everyone talks about it, Yang Yan just spreads some rumors, my two families may be doomed!" Although she said Yan SΓΉ's topic, she always had a lazy smile on her face, and she didn't seem to care about anything, and she seemed to be confident about everything.
Seeing mercy, a chill ran down her spine when she heard her say, and she said in a trembling voice: "It's good that you are a senior brother and sister for many years, so the eldest prince won't be so vicious?"
"Evil?" There was a small slate bridge in the small courtyard, and under the bridge was a three-foot-wide stream, Situ Ningbing happened to walk on this slate bridge, and threw the ruined canna into the water with a casual throw, watching it drift with the water. "He should be vicious, how can he live without being vicious? This is his life, and it is also my life. β
The expression on her face remained unchanged, and her tone remained the same, but when she saw pity, she knew that she must be uncomfortable in her heart, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Did Miss think of a way to quit this family business?"
Situ Ningbing fiddled with the opal on his left hand and said lightly: "This is the Holy Decree of the Holy Lord, how can you retreat without jokes?"
Seeing mercy, his face was worried: "Do you want to jump into it knowing that this is a trap lady?"
A sly smile flashed in Situ Ningbing's eyes: "Jump, naturally I have to jump, I'm worried that I can't get married, it's hard for my senior brother to arrange such a thoughtful arrangement for me, wouldn't it be in vain if I don't marry?"
Seeing the strange light in her eyes, knowing that she must have a way to deal with it, she couldn't help but feel a hair on her back while being happy, and the scorching sun couldn't drive away the fear in her heart......
If it is said that the people of Chang'an City talk about the most after dinner, it is "the sky is broken".
"What does it mean that the heavens and the earth are defective?" another uninformed tea guest asked curiously, looking at his polite appearance, dressed as a scholar, as if he had entered Beijing to take the exam.
"Brother Tai is from out of town, right? No wonder you don't know. Sitting at the next table, a young man who looked like a man in a folding fan, brocade clothes, and a gentleman saw that he didn't know that "the sky is broken", and he enthusiastically explained to him: "This General Situ has a daughter who was burned by the fire when she was young, and her face became ugly, which is the 'Heavenly Remnant'." β
The scholar couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, but he couldn't help but ask, "Who does the 'land shortage' refer to?"
"Is there a 'lack of land'... Hehe..."The young man laughed dryly twice and said, "It refers to An Guogong's son with crippled legs." After saying that, he laughed arrogantly, and the contempt and ridicule in the laughter was really annoying.
The scholar's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, showing that he didn't have a good impression of this person, and he was even more disgusted by what he said, but the young man noticed his expression when he was proud, and after laughing enough, he said to himself: "Today's saint is really wise, and a holy decree has made these two people into a pair, isn't it just 'heaven and earth are broken'?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "It's ridiculous that Miss Situ is actually called 'Allure', and an ugly monster is actually called 'Allure', do you think it's funny?" The laughter was even more arrogant and wanton, completely ignoring the people in the teahouse.
He didn't know that there were two lightning-like eyes staring at him in the private room upstairs, if the gaze could kill, I was afraid that he would have died a thousand times! Seeing pity trembling with anger, the hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched into a fist tightly, and his nails were almost embedded in the flesh, if it weren't for Situ Ningbing sitting calmly opposite her drinking tea, she would have jumped up and killed that unashamed bastard!
"Miss!" her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were full of pleading as she looked at Situ Ningbing.
The laughter continued, but Situ Ningbing seemed to be deaf, leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea gently, only then did he look at the mad man and smiled: "Drink tea." β
"Little ......" saw that he wanted to say something more, but when he caught a glimpse of the smile on Situ Ningbing's face, a trace of chill flashed in his lacquer-like eyes, and the anger was extinguished in an instant, and he immediately stopped picking up the teacup, lowered his head, and drank the tea obediently.
Situ Ningbing said slowly: "It's just a marriage, why is it that the whole Chang'an knows about it?, are the people of Chang'an really such a good thing to go around asking what kind of people Li Jiayi and I are?" She snorted and laughed: "Someone must be secretly instigating this." β
Seeing that he was drinking tea with his head bowed, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Could it be that this is the eldest prince's hands and feet again?"
Situ Ningbing smiled and shook his head, "His goal has been achieved, and he will never waste his strength to do such a stupid thing again, such a thing that harms others and himself seems to be Yang Yi's handiwork." β
