Chapter 53: The Marriage Is Finalized
The three halls of the Ming Dynasty, Zichen is the most expensive.
"The Zichen Hall is the residence of the emperor of my dynasty, and it is also the cabinet where many confidants and ministers are summoned. When will I be able to settle in the Zichen Palace? β
Situ Yun was full of cranky thoughts, passed through the white jade pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes next to him, and stepped into the Zichen Hall with one foot.
There is a fire stove in the hall, and the wool blanket from the Western Regions is spread on the ground. While walking, Situ Yun thought, "What's wrong with not being able to have sex?" Anyway, Wei Qian looks good, even if you ask a Bodhisattva to be at home, at least it's pleasing to the eye, isn't it? As for sexual affairs, there are so many concubines, why hang themselves from a tree? β
What Wei Qian said, Situ Yun didn't believe it at first, but he found a few stable women to test, and in the end, he had to confirm that Wei Qian was indeed disabled.
There is a difference between men and women, Situ Yun can't see it with his own eyes, but after listening to his henchmen and maids, he did see that Wei Qian only had a small slit in his lower body, and he couldn't have sex.
However, Situ Yun did not directly repent of the marriage, and returned to Chang'an to meet the emperor after comforting him with kind words.
"Moreover, Wei Qian has this kind of flaw, but there is nothing to worry about." With the handle in hand, you don't have to worry about her backlash in the future.
When he walked into the hall, he saw the saint reading the folds, and then knelt down to say goodbye.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for a while, and the sage smiled, ordered him to get up and give him a seat, and asked Situ Yun about his daily life when he went south.
The two chatted for a while, and the sage's questions seemed random, but Situ Yun was terrified.
What's your relationship with General Li, how many times have you eaten outside, what do you think of the character of those generals and officials?
In the end, heaven is ruthless! Situ Yun carefully considered the problems of dealing with the emperor, lest he think that he was forming a party for personal gain.
It wasn't until the saint nodded in satisfaction that he breathed a sigh of relief, and half of his body broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
Subsequently, listen to the sage: "This time you have made a great contribution, and tomorrow morning your father will crown you as a prince." In this way, except for your ninth brother, the other brothers are all princes! In this way, turning back and letting the fourth child succeed to the throne can also protect the future future of these brothers.
The sage laughed: "What else do you want?" β
"The child went south this time and met a woman" Situ Yun looked at the saint's face, couldn't see the reality, and gritted his teeth: "It's the daughter of General Jinlingwei's mansionββ"
Suddenly, the eunuch guards on duty outside heard a crackling sound from inside, and then the saint was furious and drove Situ Yun back to think about it.
After scolding Situ Yun, the sage was still angry, and said to Liu Sheng, the big eunuch next to him: "Look, this kid is really lawless!" This time I went south and dared to marry privately, but I was taken seriously! I let him go south to accumulate merits, for the sake of his future family business, how could I let him go to fall in love and talk about love? β
Liu Sheng weighed the silver sent by Concubine Chen, and said with a smile: "There is a matter of importance, didn't His Highness the Seventh say it?" At that time, Miss Wei was trapped by rumors, and she was a benefactor in the past, so she came to the door to ask for marriage in a hurry. And didn't Miss Wei also say that she didn't want to climb high, so she let Her Highness come back first? Whether this thing is successful or not, it is all up to His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't allow it, just find an excuse to wipe it. It's just that in this way, Miss Wei will no longer have a marriage in the future. β
The saint was silent, touching a piece of golden lock given by the Seven Princes. The golden lock has the words "Fushou Kangning", which is what he gave to Jia Daishan at the beginning.
This was given to Jia Daishan by him back then, and later Jia Daishan handed it over to Wei Qian and became Wei Qian's belongings. Wei Qian knew that this marriage was not easy to do, so she gave the golden lock to Situ Yun as a token, in order to borrow her grandfather's favor.
"Yes, if you don't let Miss Wei marry Yun'er, I'm afraid there are really only two ways to hang or become a monk in the future." Thinking of Jia Daishan's past years, the saint hesitated.
"However, His Royal Highness the Seventh is willing to take such a risk for this woman, especially at this critical juncture when he is about to be crowned a prince, he is indeed a benevolent and righteous person." Liu Sheng mentioned it without a trace, and the saint frowned and groaned.
And after Situ Yun went back, he talked about it with his staff.
The staff waved a feather fan, dressed as a Confucian scholar, and was said to be the queen of Zhuge Wuhou. After listening to what Situ Yun said, he said with a smile: "Your Highness's move is good. In this way, you will stand out from the princes. Although he temporarily lost the Sacred Heart, he left a good name in the hearts of the saints. And for the princes, it is also a hint that His Royal Highness has no intention of unification. β
If you really care about the position of the emperor, how can you dare to do such a thing that disgusts the saints?
"Yes, my father is still here, and now I can't take the lead to fight with a few brothers."
Becoming a prince is a wing, and those brothers also have to care about his younger brother's attitude. It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to think behind closed doors and avoid some people's guns and arrows. By the way, if someone wants to marry their daughter into the palace, they also need to consider the evil feelings that the saint may have.
The Seven Princes made great contributions, and they were immediately reprimanded by the sage for thinking about it behind closed doors, which immediately caused waves in the government and the opposition and the harem.
Many people who want to marry the palace are discouraged, and some of the remaining people have ambiguous attitudes, and there are only a few people left who really maintain their positions.
As soon as Concubine Chen, who was in the harem, heard the news, she immediately sent someone to the palace to inquire about it.
Situ Yun was calmly studying at home, and when he heard that the people around the concubine came to inquire, he said to the visitor: "Go back and tell the concubine, tomorrow I will let the princess enter the palace to ask for peace, and I will make it clear to her when the time comes." β
Situ Yun's princess is the daughter of a four-rank official, and her identity is worse than Wei Qian. At this time, he was nervous in his heart, and entered the study after Concubine Chen's people left.
Situ Yun was wearing a mink fur fur and looked at the history books of the former Tang Dynasty in a good manner.
"Your Highness, the concubine made you a bowl of ginseng tea. You've just returned, don't be too tired. Holding the ginseng tea with his own hands, Situ Yun immediately took it: "What, are you also worried about those rumors outside?" β
The princess's face stiffened, and she hurriedly waved her hand: "The concubine only knows her identity, if His Royal Highness likes the sister of the Wei family, he will definitely take care of her as a sister in the future." β
In comparison, the two acted in a high style.
Situ Yun sighed in his heart, he was weak back then, and his mother couldn't speak in the harem, so this marriage was just a casual four-grade official. If you talk about family background, you are only in the middle of the great Chang'an, and the daughters of such people are only okay in terms of vision and mind, and taking care of the palace.
"You're not a little angry with a few imperial sisters-in-law, aren't you?"
"A few sisters-in-law are okay with the concubines." The princess lowered her eyebrows, and Situ Yun waved her hand and said, "Okay, this king still doesn't know your temperament?" It's just good news and not bad news, among the princesses, you have the worst status, and my royal sisters-in-law didn't even give me my face at the beginning, let alone you? must have been angry. But don't worry, in the end, it's the wife of the chaff, and what will this king do to you? You don't have to be so careful about what you say in the future. β
When the lid is opened, the amber liquid is dotted with a little red. Opened the wolfberry and took a sip of ginseng tea: "Tomorrow you enter the palace to ask your mother for peace, and tell her by the way." The daughter of the Wei family had a life-saving grace to the king a few years ago, and now she was killed because of a traitor, and the king welcomed the palace with the gift of a side concubine, which is righteous! You don't have to worry about any fox charming, Miss Wei and I have met three times in total, and we haven't spoken a few times, and we are all guarded by outsiders. β
Situ Yun's expression was indifferent: "As for the gossip of outsiders, don't even pay attention to it." When I go back and wait for my father's anger to subside, I will go to Zichen Hall to ask my father for his guilt. β
When the princess heard this, her heart was a little relieved: "The concubine will return to her mother like this tomorrow." β
On the second day, the princess entered the palace to ask for peace and told Situ Yun what she meant. When Concubine Chen heard this, she said helplessly: "Yun'er has been like this since she was a child, and the thing she decided is that it will be difficult for this concubine in this palace to come back." That's it, since that's the case, Bengu will help him. So, I went to Zichen Hall to help intercede.
The former dynasty influenced the harem, and the harem also affected the previous dynasty, and it didn't take long for the news to be delivered.
Wu Mansion, the home of the prime minister. After the next dynasty, Wu Zhengde went home to find his son: "The old man remembers that your eldest girl is not young now, right?" Go back and let her daughter-in-law go to the palace for a trip and set the marriage with the Seventh Prince. β
"The Seventh Prince?"
"That's right, it's him."
looked at his old father, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that the Seventh Prince is now disgusted by His Majesty?" β
"Yes, this early morning was supposed to discuss the matter of the Seventh Highness being crowned king, but it was skipped by His Majesty. However, the Seventh Prince came out in person and was willing to use his military merits to marry this side concubine. Wu Zhengde squinted: "The Seventh Prince's move is wonderful!" The rejection at this time is a good thing for the future. In the end, it was an old minister who had experienced the two dynasties, Wu Zhengde immediately calculated it properly, and said: "You just have to do it, your father and I will solve it on the emperor's side, and you can sell it to His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness." β
Wu Zhengde has gone through two dynasties, and he has been through ups and downs over the years, where do he not understand the mind of this top boss?
Although he is angry now, he may not have some appreciation for the Seventh Prince's move. As long as it is operated properly, the Seven Princes can also be regarded as a potential stock.
After the father and son combined, Wu Zhengde entered the palace again to find a saint to marry.
When the sage heard that Wu Zhengde was going to marry his granddaughter to Situ Yun, he said curiously: "Now that outsiders know that Lao Qi has been reprimanded by me and closed up, why do you still marry your own granddaughter?" β
"People like Lao Chen don't care about their husband's family background, they only look at their character." Wu Zhengde praised himself and said respectfully: "The Seven Princes are both wise and brave, and their filial piety can be expressed." Now that Ken is willing to give so much to save his life, he must take more care of my granddaughter. β
"Humph! Just a womanizer. Nan will be fascinated by him next time, where can he be up to the task? The saint said this, a smile in the corner of his eye.
"The old minister also went to ask about it, and there were so many people in His Highness's entourage going south. It is said that His Royal Highness has only seen Miss Wei three times. The only time I had a lot of contact was when I saved my life. However, Miss Wei was only in her early teens, where could she confuse others? Could it be the reincarnation of a demon queen? β
The saint nodded secretly, and he also ordered someone to report the actions of Situ Yun and his party. I have some understanding of what Wei Qian did in Jinling. If you really want to say where Situ Yun's favor came from, I'm afraid it was the lawsuit with the Xue family back then.
"The daughter of the Wei family behaves in moderation, and Yun'er can say it in her eyes. As for the identity, the daughter of the third grade member is also the granddaughter of Rong Guogong, which is also suitable. Thinking of Princess Situ Yun's poor family background in the past, the sage had the heart to choose two side concubines with good backgrounds for him.
did not directly refuse Wu Zhengde's words, but secretly asked people to count the eight characters of the birthday and investigate the fate.
Now that Zhang Qingyuan is serving in the Daoist Division, he and Qin Tianjian worked together to calculate the lives of the three people.
The Qintianjian was originally the place where the astronomical calendar was calculated by the previous dynasties, and there were many astrologers among them.
Situ Yun's life was noble, and the two of them didn't say much in their eyes. Although it is not a perfect fit with Miss Wu's life, it is still good. But the two of them calculated that Wei Qian's life was in unison.
Zhang Qingyuan knew that Wei Qian practiced immortal methods, so he didn't care much. But the face of the Qin Heavenly Supervisor was wrong: "It's strange, according to my Ziwei Dou number, how can I not calculate the fate of this Wei family girl?" β
Wei Qian's practice is based on the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, and she worships the Nine Heavens Dou Ma, this lady is the mother of the stars. One of her sons is the Lord of the Stars, the Emperor Ziwei, who is also the founder of Ziwei Doushu.
If you talk about the origin, after Wei Qian's cultivation, his life was hidden, how could it be deduced by mortals with the number of Ziwei Dou?
After a short time, the Qintian supervisor was sweating profusely, and when the sage saw it, he asked, "What's the matter, there is a problem with this woman's life?" "Thinking of Wei Qianke's death of two fiancΓ©s, even a saint couldn't help muttering, could there really be a problem with his life?
"This ......" Qin Tian Supervisor swallowed: "According to the astrological calculations, this woman should have died early, but the fate star is faintly noble, and she must have an extraordinary origin." β
"Ahem......" Zhang Qingyuan hurriedly took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, all those who have a noble life will have a catastrophe, and this is a catastrophe of jealousy." When this girl was born, she had a catastrophe, and she enjoyed glory and wealth in her life when she spent it, but she died when she died, and her life became empty. β
When the Qintian supervisor heard this, he couldn't help nodding: "There is such a saying in astrology. β
Zhang Qingyuan continued: "This woman was born in a family of eunuchs, but her life is very noble and very bearable. According to Poor Dao's understanding, one of her two fiancΓ©s was born in Baiding, and the other was after the assassination, with a low status and a shallow life, and he couldn't bear the nobility of this woman, so they were blessed. In order to get married, the threshold for this woman must be raised. β
"Lady?" The sage was a little sensitive: "What kind of noble law?" If you are not a prince, you can't marry? Or is it ...... "directly to the emperor?"
"It's not necessary, the important ministers of the country are worthy of it. And if the paper is a person, he will take the appearance of Wenqu Wenchang and take one or three people. If you talk about it as a military attachΓ©, you must be the reincarnation of Wuqu and a person who dominates one side. However, His Royal Highness is a dragon, and he is a prince, which is enough to be worthy. β
When the sage heard this, he said, "So, this girl's life is more noble than that of Wu Ge's granddaughter?" β
The Qin Tian supervisor said, "Exactly. β
The sage pondered for a long time: "Don't wait for today's words to be preached, let it go down!" β
The next morning, the sage decreed that Situ Yun was canonized as Prince Rui, and the old granddaughter of Wu Ge and the granddaughter of the late Rongguo Gong were married. However, Wei Qian is still at the funeral, and she is especially kind to let her get married after her filial piety.
As soon as Chrysostom opened, Wei Qian felt that there was a cause and effect on his body that involved Chang'an.
"From now on, it's not going to be easy." muttered to herself, and Xuan Yun, who was helping her take her pulse, said, "Aren't you worried that this marriage won't work out?" Stupidly use medicine to lock the yin, if the Seven Princes regret it, see what you do! β
"Senior sister, don't worry, senior sister is still a bit level of looking at people. This highness is not stupid, and his marriage with me is still useful. For him and for me, repentance is a lose-lose move. β
Wei Qian didn't think Situ Yun was a fool. "And, before he leaves, give him the golden lock that my grandfather gave me. It is said that it is given by the saint today, as long as the saint cares about some friendship, this marriage is not difficult. β
Xuan Yun shook her head and put her hand down: "Okay, your body is fine." But the medicine you took was too heavy. Xuan Yun glared at Xuan Yun in disapproval: "Senior Sister Xuan Yun is too, she actually gave Qian'er that kind of cruel medicine." If it weren't for her immortal body, there were no taboos, what could I do if this medicine hurt me at all? β
Wei Qian wanted to hide from the inspection of a group of stable women, and did not collude to buy them in advance. is really using drugs to deceive, and even be mentally prepared to let Situ Yun watch it in person.
Fortunately, the back is smooth sailing, and there is no need for Wei Qian to compromise his own name.
Thousands of miles of marriage are tied by a thread, and the police fairy stands in the clouds and looks at the red thread entangled between Chang'an and Jinling.
"This marriage is really done, but-" Take a closer look, there is no knot at the two ends, a goddess has no heart, and a king has no dreams, this marriage is completely a formality.
Wei Qian took the opportunity to find a pure and concentrated enlightenment, while Situ Yun managed his own forces, fighting for the dragon position, and didn't care about Wei Qian at all.
The angry police illusion fairy stomped her feet: "I want to let Wei Qian, this woman, enter my lovesick door and understand my method of love and bliss." If it goes on like this, the two will get married, respect each other for a lifetime, and in the end, Wei Qian can still float away and fly away calmly. β
The police fantasy fairy girl is a love demon bred in the love of men and women, and she is paranoid. was aroused by Wei Qian's competitive heart, just like against He Xiangu back then, vowing to beat her into a thousand love tribulations, just like the encounter of the white peony back then.
"No, we have to make them tempted!" The fairy aunt looked at the world and prepared to further trap people.
Along with the sage Chrysostom, a bunch of rewards fell into the three mansions of Wu, Jia, and Wei. The previous dynasty shook again, and in addition to many people admiring Wu Ge Lao's foresight, more people went to confront the current Prince Rui.
The four princes squinted, and after returning to the house, they found their own princess Zhou.
"This king remembers that you have a cousin who was going to marry Lao Qi not long ago?"
"There was such a thing, but then the seventh child was rejected by his father, and the marriage also fell through."
"Let her marry now, at least you can't let the seventh child take refuge in the camp of the third child."
"Now?" The princess was taken aback: "Now that the side concubine of the seventh child has been decided, how can I place it?" β
"The side concubine is gone, isn't there still a concubine room? It's really not good, it's okay to walk in through the back door and take a cheap concubine. The fourth prince has a calm face, although there is a rumor in the palace at present, saying that his father is preparing to pass on the throne to him, but how can he believe the words of chasing the wind and shadows? It's better to prepare early and pinch the others.
"Concubine?" Zhou's face was pale, in the end, everyone was born, although her cousin was not a descendant, but let her marry her as a cheap concubine? Will the Zhou family still be a man in the future? The second uncle can't explain it!
"So, princess and queen, what are you going to choose?" The fourth prince said quietly: "Let others take the throne, how can you and I guarantee the interests of you and me at that time?" β
Not only the four princes, but also several other princes were also thinking about wooing Situ Yun from all aspects. Someone sent gold, someone sent a beautiful woman, Situ Yun accepted them all, and turned around to tell the saint directly.
The saint laughed and comforted him, but what he thought of these people in his heart was unknown to others.
It's just that in the days that followed, in the face of other princes, he was a little more eager for Situ Yun, and it seemed that he was deliberately roasted on the fire.
In Jiafu, when the news came, Mrs. Wang spit out a few words of sour water. Not long ago, Wei Qian and Situ Yun had this incident, and she chewed her tongue in front of Wang Xifeng.
At the beginning, Wang Xifeng accepted her rights with Jia Yu for the sake of housekeeping, and offended her aunt fiercely, and the relationship between the two has not been good over the years, just peace on the surface.
When the reward of Daming Palace came down, Wang Xifeng and Daiyu were beaming, the two had a good relationship with Wei Qian, but they sincerely blessed it, and discussed whether to go back to give a gift, and happened to hear Mrs. Wang chewing the root of her tongue behind her back.
"It is said that the parents ordered the matchmaker to say the words, you see, in the end, it was the daughter taught by Jia Mei, with a foxy face, who actually bewitched the prince and his parents to protest. It is also a saint who can't bear to let his son suffer, otherwise how would he agree to this marriage? β
"I see, Wei Qian won't stay long in the palace in the future, how can the palace be the same as the outside? I don't know how I will die when the time comes. β
When she said this, Daiyu immediately frowned, with a look of displeasure. She didn't get along well with Mrs. Wang, not to mention anything else, just with Jia Min's relationship with Mrs. Wang back then, she was able to maintain kindness to her because of Jia's mother's support.
"Yo! Look at what my aunt said, why is my aunt dissatisfied with the marriage of the Wei family's cousin? Are you still ready to jump out and protest? Wang Xifeng was quick to speak and scolded directly.
Mrs. Wang was talking to the people around her, and suddenly saw Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu standing in the flowers, and she was shocked. Before he could speak, Wang Xifeng split his head and covered his face.
"If my aunt is dissatisfied, why don't you go to Daming Palace to find a saint or Concubine Chen to refuse?"
"I almost forgot that my aunt didn't even have the identity of a lady of fate. If you have the heart to take care of your cousin's marriage, why don't you hurry up and let Master Zheng work hard, give you a fate, and go to the palace in the future! β
"Speaking of which, Cousin Qian still has the identity of a countryman, and Aunt Mei still has a second-grade edict on her, and it will be time to meet, but Auntie, you salute Aunt Mei and Cousin."
stabbed Mrs. Wang hard, Wang Xifeng pulled Lin Daiyu away.
On the way, Lin Daiyu was full of worries, Wang Xifeng thought she was worried about Wei Qian, so she explained: "Don't pay attention to her, you don't know my aunt." Back then, she didn't get along well with the two concubines, but she was the same to you and Qian'er. Moreover, this matter is all about jealousy of cousins. The granddaughters of the old lady have lovers, but their granddaughters are still suffering in the palace! β
Thinking that Yuan Chun had no news in the palace, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh: "You just came here and haven't seen your eldest sister." When the old lady was not in good health, the eldest sister and Qian'er were serving here. The two of them stand together, that demeanor, that aura, your big sister is indeed not much inferior to Qian'er. As for the Spring Festival girls, they are the same-" Wang Xifeng shook his head: "In the end, the house is not as good as when the old lady was alive." β
Wang Xifeng married into Rongguo Mansion for Jia Lian's son-in-law, but after marrying, he really realized what it means to taste the bitter fruit himself.
Here, the status of the granddaughter-in-law is really not high. Mother Jia prides herself on being a kind person, and those old and senior servants in the house can't touch it, and Wang Xifeng was not less angry at first.
Even now, it is just a general housekeeper, and there is a big Buddha of Jia Mu to be offered from time to time.
"That's it, let's think about how to give a gift to Qian'er."
Not to mention the back house, it is facing up in the front. Jia Yu also took the opportunity to play a banner to support the Seven Princes, with the relationship between Wei Qian, the two parties went further, and Jia Yu naturally worked more dedicatedly, and handed over all Jia Daishan's connections in the past to the Seven Princes.
The officials and people who were promoted by Jia Daishan back then were secretly encircled by the Seven Princes, and after the Five Princes lost power, they secretly rose up and quietly attacked the military power.
And when the news reached Jinling, Jia Mei laughed on the spot, and added three bowls of rice in the evening, feeling happy. Not long ago, the city was full of wind and rain, and he had to bring the boss to the temple to become a monk. But after this time, I finally don't have to worry about the boss's marriage, and even this marriage is much better than the first two.
Looking at the official eunuchs in the whole city, no one's marriage is comparable to this one.
And Mrs. Huang was also radiant and in much better spirits after knowing this, and she was preparing a dowry for Wei Qian.
However, in the eyes of the discerning people, this is undoubtedly a return to the light, and the life is short.
A few days later, Mrs. Huang left, and Huang Yuan hurried back to arrange the funeral with Wei Qian.
However, among all the people in Jinling, the person who was most afraid of Wei Qian's matter was the Xue family.
At the beginning, the rumors spread all over the city, Xue Pan had secretly contributed to the trouble, and he was one of the obvious beneficiaries of this matter, so he couldn't get rid of it. For fear that Wei Qian would take advantage of the situation to pursue him, and Xue Pan's reputation in Jinling would be completely ruined, so the family set off for Chang'an to join Mrs. Wang after discussion.
