Chapter 18: Marriage

With Bai Sang by his side and taking care of him, Gao Xun's body quickly recovered, and he returned to his previous appearance.

In the days when he was sick, Bai Sang promised that Gao Xun would often come to the palace, and watched Gao Xun practice swords and accompany her to enjoy the flowers, and the two seemed to be more intimate. In the past few days in the house, Bai Sang has gradually become familiar with Ye Xiuying. Both of them are proficient in medical skills and can often talk together. Bai Sang also began to be less silent, Gao Xun was immersed in the gentle township, and the spring breeze was full of spring breeze every day. A qiΔ“ seems to be going in a good direction.

It's Sima Xuan, who hasn't been seen since that day.

Gao Xun learned from Sima Jing that Sima Xuan was ordered by the old general not to come to her Jin Palace. The old general originally planned to let her marry the second son of Mrs. Xu's mansion, but Sima Xuan didn't know whether she was disheartened or angry, and insisted on entering the palace to serve the emperor.

Sima Jing shook his head when he talked about it, his little sister was used to being willful. knew that my sister liked the Jin prince in front of her, but she had no intention of asking for it, and no one could do anything.

Gao Xun only regretted when she heard this, she was not a good person who was willing to save the needy and help the needy. It's good to just take care of the people in her heart, and she doesn't bother to care about other idle things. Even if this matter is for the sake of Sima Jing's face, he can't help himself. I only hope that this eldest lady, who has always been pampered, can take care of herself after entering the palace.

As for the matter of marrying the princess, Gao Xun was silent on the surface. In my heart, I have already made a plan.

The days went by so unhurriedly. Soon, it was time for the emperor's coronation.

The emperor's 20th birthday ceremony is naturally a big day for the whole country to celebrate.

On this day, Gao Xun prepared the carriage and horses early, changed his clothes, ordered someone to bring a congratulatory gift, and went to the palace.

Gao Heng set up a banquet in the Huayang Hall and feasted the ministers. After everyone gave a gift and a congratulatory speech, and provoked the emperor's dragon face, the banquet was opened.

At the table, Gao Xun and Gao Yan, Song Yuyan, Gao Heng, and the Empress Dowager Song were at one table.

Gao Heng sat in the center in a bright yellow golden dragon robe. On his left side sat a woman with a graceful and luxurious temperament, wearing a red gold cloisonnΓ© warm jade fire phoenix with pearl hairpin, and a gold double-layered long tail phoenix robe. has sharp eyes, but her appearance is not less demonic, this is the current queen mother.

King Yan Gao Yan sat opposite in a silver-white brocade robe, and there were several bamboo embroideries on the cuffs and robe. The eyes are gentle, but he still looks weak. Next to him was Princess Yan Song Yuyan, wearing a jade-colored embroidered folded branch and pile of flower skirts. The hair is lightly curled, and the white lotus snow silver hairpin is inserted in the hair. The appearance is beautiful, thin powder, and she is very gentle and virtuous to sit quietly on the side.

Gao Xun and Gao Yan and others saluted the emperor and the queen mother one by one, and after taking their seats, they invited singing and dancing to cheer up. Gao Heng was in high spirits today, and after drinking a few glasses of wine with everyone with a pleasant face, he said with a smile:

"Today is my birthday, and the two princes here are also my own brothers. It's a family dinner, so you don't have to be restrained. ”

As he spoke, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, after so many years, our three brothers have never spoken together. I'm happy today, so I might as well take the opportunity to talk about family life here, hahaha! ”

Gao Heng can now be described as a spring breeze. sat firmly on the throne, and the court became more and more comfortable. In the past few years, under his governance, the Yuan Kingdom is still peaceful in the world, and the Haiyan River is clear, which can be worthy of the wisdom of the first emperor. As a result, there are fewer and fewer voices of opposition, and voices of praise are coming one after another. After today, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem to be favored by him, and a few more princes will be added soon, and there will be heirs to inherit his throne, which is really perfect.

As a result, the mustard between Gao Heng and Gao Xun gradually faded. The Yuan Kingdom has always had few princes, and the lives of many princes have long become a stepping stone for other brothers in the struggle for the throne. In the four or five years since the Holy Lord's accession to the throne like this, it seems that he still gets along well with the two princes, which is very rare. Everyone praised this, and Gao Heng wanted to show his good brother and good brother even more in front of people.

"Yes, time flies, and the third emperor brother thinks that he will be crowned soon. It's not a family yet, this king, as the eldest brother, has to urge first, haha. ”

Gao Yan took Gao Heng's words very naturally, and really talked about it as if it was a family chat. Gao Heng gave him a satisfied look. He nodded in agreement and said to Gao:

"I'm also going to help ask, does the imperial brother have a candidate for the princess in his heart?"

Gao Xun seemed to have expected to bring up this topic, nodded calmly and replied: "Back to the emperor, there is indeed a candidate in the heart of the courtier. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present did not show their expressions on the surface, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts. Even Song Yuyan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

"Oh? I don't know which girl the royal brother is fancy? Don't say, let me guess first, haha. ”

Gao Heng smiled and pointed out the names of several famous official ladies in Kyoto, and Gao Xun shook his head. Gao Heng did not change his smile, and finally said with a little meaning:

"It can't be Miss Sima from the General's Mansion, right? I only heard today that the imperial brother got close to Miss Sima after returning to Beijing, but unfortunately I didn't know about it, and I had already issued an order to recruit that Sima Xuan into the harem, so it wouldn't ruin a good marriage for the imperial brother, right? ”

I apologized after doing it, what a considerate good brother!

Gao Xun snorted coldly in his heart, but he still smiled calmly on his face: "The emperor is too worried." What this king wants to marry is not Sima Xuan, but a female doctor in the emperor's brother's mansion. ”

"Ding-bell!" The silver chopsticks in Song Yuyan's hand fell to the ground, and although the sound was not loud, everyone at the table could hear it clearly.

Seeing this, Gao Yan hurriedly cared: "Yu Yan, what's wrong?" Are you feeling sick again? ”

"It's okay, I didn't hold my hand for a while. It was Yu Yan who accidentally disturbed everyone's meal. Song Yuyan shook her head and apologized to Gao Heng.

Gao Heng waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and ordered someone to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Empress Dowager Song always watched this farce coldly. Finally, he glanced at Gao Xun, took what she had just said, and sneered: "The prince of Fang Caijin said that he wanted to marry a folk doctor as a princess, and the mourning family thinks that this matter is really a shame for our royal family." ”

"The Queen Mother must have misunderstood. The female doctor in the king's house was a young lady in a big family's house, and a few years ago, her parents passed away in the middle of the family, and the king saved her by chance, and saw that she was a good doctor, so he let her stay in the house to see a doctor. is also a good girl who is one in ten thousand, and in the past few years, this king has always treated her as a righteous sister. The royal brother mentioned her to the king after seeing her in the mansion earlier, but he never thought that he had been thinking about it in his heart, haha. ”

Gao Xun was a little surprised that Gao Yan would work so hard to help himself say good things. raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"As the royal brother said, she is indeed a rare good woman. For her sake, this king can't even care about the identity of this prince. Today, I would like to ask the emperor to marry the two of us. ”

Gao Xun bowed his head at this moment, and he was rarely seen with humility.

Empress Dowager Song glanced at it contemptuously. Hmph, it's really an inadequate.

Gao Heng laughed when he heard this, and Gao Xun's appearance looked at him, he was completely a person who was seduced by a woman and lost his soul, which made him more and more comfortable. It's just that I want to marry a little doctor, so it must not be of much use. So he nodded and said:

"Haha, since the emperor's brother has spoken, how can I not do it. Then I decreed that the marriage would be given to the two of you, and the marriage would be consummated in Kyoto in three days. When the time comes, I can see what kind of person a woman like the emperor's brother is. ”

Gao Xun exhaled in his heart when he heard this, and opened his eyebrows and thanked him.

After a long banquet, it was finally time for the emperor to draft a girl.

There are several rows of beautiful girls in the main hall, all of whom are beautiful and slender, all waiting to be selected by the emperor himself. If you are selected, you can enter the palace as a concubine. And the young lady of General Sima's Mansion, the only daughter of a scholar of Qi and the youngest daughter of Yin Shangshu, was directly appointed as a concubine by Gao Heng before.

Gao Xun casually glanced at those people, presumably they were ordinary girls who were looking forward to flying on the branches to be phoenixes. Unintentionally, it was as if I saw a familiar face, it turned out to be the Miss Ning family who had thrown her arms to her in the Yanwang Mansion before. I didn't expect her to succeed in riding herself, and now she is also thinking about entering the palace.

Gao Xun retracted his gaze and didn't think much about it. What she is thinking about now is to go to the small courtyard early tomorrow and tell Bai Sang the good news in person!
