Chapter 75: Marriage by Divine Decree
Xie Jingxiu didn't explain what "late" meant, but within a few days, Xiao Yu knew.
Looking at the well-dressed but feminine-faced eunuch who only survived in the film and television image of the previous life, leading a group of palace people to visit his small mansion of ordinary people, Xiao Yu was completely stunned for a moment.
"Which one is Miss Feng?" The great eunuch shouted in a somewhat sharp voice, "Come out and take orders." ”
His gaze stayed on Xiao Yu with some hesitation, as if he couldn't be sure that the handsome young man in front of him was the rumored Miss Feng who had lost Xie Shizi's soul.
Although this person is young and looks good, he is clearly more like a man than him, how can he be Xie Shizi's sweetheart?
Fang Clan He had seen such a big world, and he couldn't speak in a panic for a while, so he could only look at Xiao Yu, hoping that his son would have an idea.
Xiao Yu took a step forward and knelt down helplessly, and Bai Ling and Fang Clan hurriedly knelt down together.
"The grass people are Feng Zhaoyu." Xiao Yudao spurned the emperor he had never met in his heart.
is really a faint king, and this marriage is too child's play. His life experience is so indescribable, he actually gave Xie Shizi such a noble young talent in this way, he is not afraid of the elders in the Yuan Palace's back poking his backbone?
The eunuch was originally the father-in-law Yang Fang, who was serving in front of Emperor Yongrong, but at this time, seeing that Xiao Yu did not understand the etiquette and rules of receiving orders, and his behavior was so crude and casual, he couldn't help but despise it even more.
Xie Shizi personally begged for marriage, not to mention that he was a lady, but he was so unexpected.
However, thinking of Emperor Yongrong's instructions, he didn't have to worry about some false courtesies with this Shengdou Xiaomin, as long as he quickly made this family affair complete, the more she couldn't get on the stage, the more chaotic the Yuanwang Mansion would be.
Yang Gonggong unfolded the silk brocade holy decree inlaid with gold powder, and recited the decree with a sharp voice.
"The edict said: Ziwentai Hospital sentenced Fengqing's daughter Zhaoyu to be gentle and virtuous, generous, and outstanding......"
The previous words of praise for him were all falsehoods, Xiao Yu was quite calm, but the more Fang listened to it, the more frightened he became.
These days, her son dressed up as a man and left Fengfu with her, which made her almost forget all the past, and there was a trace of luck in her heart, thinking that she could live in peace and stability like this.
Now that a Heavenly Family Decree has been given, it is tantamount to a slap in the face, which makes the Fang family suddenly wake up to the fact that her son is not recovering as a man one day, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is still the eldest lady of the Feng family, and it is simply wishful thinking to want to live a plain life.
But now that even the emperor has given a holy decree, if you want to restore your identity, wouldn't it be a crime to deceive the king? Does her son have to live forever as "Miss Feng"?!
Yang Gonggong is still announcing the order according to the script: "...... At the age of marriage, the prince of the palace of the Yuan Dynasty should choose a good wife and match. In the boudoir of the Feng family, and Xie Shizi can be called heaven and earth, for the beauty of a good relationship, you will be matched with Xie Shizi as a concubine, and give gold and jade Ruyi as congratulations. A qiē etiquette is handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to jointly handle the marriage, and the marriage is completed on a good day. I hope that the husband and wife will love each other and give birth to a noble son early. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin this. ”
gave birth to a noble son early, and the management is really wide.
Xiao Yu felt like 10,000 wild horses galloping past in his heart, but he could only accept the holy decree with both hands, and he also wanted to thank the lord Longen.
Father-in-law Yang listened to his nondescript words of gratitude, and waved his hand impatiently, "Miss, please get up." He pointed to the cages carried by the palace people behind him to the courtyard, "These are the gifts of the heavenly family, and they should be used to add makeup to the young lady." ”
Xiao Yu could only thank him again, and he was about to say that he had no resignation, and Gonggong Yang finally led the people away.
Xiao Yu saw that the person's expression was not very good, and he thought that he didn't take the "benefits", so he was in a bad mood.
Yang Gonggong ran away empty, and naturally despised this Miss Feng and her mother who were not on the stage, but fortunately, he was going to the Yuan Wangfu to announce the decree, and he would not let him go back empty-handed.
Originally, he was supposed to go to the Yuan Wangfu to announce the decree, but the emperor deliberately let him swagger through the market, and first went to Miss Nafeng to give him a marriage, so that the people of the capital could help publicize it, and save the Yuan Wangfu from being a hindrance.
It is said that when Emperor Yongrong was attentive to a matter, there was still a trace of the shadow of his former wisdom, but he was deeply bewitched by Concubine Li Guifei, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to have a sober day.
Gonggong Yang went to the Yuan Palace's Mansion to announce the holy decree, except for Xie Jingxiu, who had a calm face, the surprise of everyone in the Yuan Palace's Mansion was no less than that of Xiao Yu and the Fang Clan.
Sure enough, Xie Shizi made his own opinion, just looking at the faces of Prince Yuan and Princess Yuan, these two must be dissatisfied.
It's good if they're not satisfied, if they're not satisfied, the emperor can be satisfied.
Speaking of the things that Miss Feng did when she first arrived in the capital, I am afraid that any high-ranking family with a head and face will not be satisfied with her.
Gonggong Yang clasped his hands and smiled and said to Xie Jingxiu: "Xie Shizi begged to come to the palace that day, and the emperor was also surprised. The emperor was also afraid that the prince would be deceived when he was young, so he specially sent the palace guards to check the details of the Miss Feng. I saw that although she acted a little flamboyantly, she still understood the rules in the end. Since he is the person who the prince cares about, the emperor can't bear to do that thing of beating mandarin ducks. Now that the prince has fulfilled his wish, the miscellaneous family is embarrassed, and he will first say hello to the prince, and he will definitely ask for a cup of happy wine to drink in the future. ”
"My father-in-law is polite." Xie Jingxiu said lightly.
Gonggong Yang didn't care about his attitude, anyway, his original intention was just to tell everyone in the Yuan Palace, such a princess who could not be on the stage was asked for by Xie Jingxiu himself, but it was not forced by the emperor.
Seeing that the princes and princesses of Yuan really looked even worse, Yang Gonggong took a leisurely farewell with a thick "hard fee" in his hand, and he was still in a hurry to rush back to the palace to reply in front of the emperor.
As soon as Gonggong Yang left, Prince Yuan ordered someone to withdraw the incense case that was placed when he received the decree, and glanced at Princess Yuan.
Princess Yuan only lives her life in her Yiran small residence on weekdays, although she is in the Yuan Palace, she doesn't care about the affairs in the palace, and her heart is no longer in the Yuan Palace.
It is only when there is a matter like today's order that Princess Yuan will appear in front of him. Otherwise, even he would rarely see her.
Princess Yuan was wearing a princess's fateful dress, which was a little more gorgeous than the simple dress on weekdays. Yuan Wang Ye couldn't help but be slightly stunned, only to feel that some strange wives in front of him seemed to be exactly the same as when he first married and entered the door, the years did not leave a trace on her, and this Yuan Wangfu did not leave a trace on her body.
Prince Yuan Xie Yun was still pondering, Princess Yuan had already walked away, leaving only an indifferent and dignified back.
Mama Qin, who was beside Princess Yuan, walked up to Xie Jingxiu and bowed her head and said, "Lord Shizi, the princess, please come to Yiran Xiaoju." ”
Xie Jingxiu nodded, as if he was not surprised at all, this mother, who had never asked about the world, actually asked him to go to her paradise.
When Prince Yuan saw Xie Jingxiu walking forward, his face sank, and he said loudly: "Come to my study after seeing your mother!" ”
Xie Jingxiu turned around and saluted, and responded, the etiquette was beyond reproach.
Yuan Wang Ye looked at the eldest son in front of him, whose words and deeds were perfect, and thought that he actually ran to the palace with everyone behind his back to ask for a marriage decree, and he still asked for such a wife, and he felt even more headache.
Xie Jingxiu followed Mama Qin to Yiran's small residence, and Princess Yuan had already changed back to the simple clothes she wore on weekdays in addition to the princess's clothes under the service of two personal maids, and her black hair was only loosely pulled up with a wooden hairpin, and there was still fat powder on her face that had not had time to be washed off.
"The son has seen his mother." Xie Jingxiu saluted in a proper manner, and Princess Yuan asked him to get up and sit on the chair beside him.
"What's going on with the marriage?" Princess Yuan didn't say too much and asked lightly.
Xie Jingxiu bowed his head and said, "As my mother saw." ”
Princess Yuan picked up the teacup with her slender hand and gently scraped the tea foam.
"Gonggong Yang said, did you personally go to the emperor to ask for it? Why are you doing this? ”
Xie Jingxiu said: "Mother, when my son is older, it is time to start a family." ”
There was a local sound, and it was the sound of a tea cup slamming on the table. When Princess Yuan spoke again, her voice was still clear and cold, and there was no trace of worry or anger.
"Since you want to start a family, it is the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, but you shouldn't go to the emperor yourself and ask for such a marriage."
Xie Jingxiu still lowered his head and said: "Mother taught me that it was my son who was reckless. ”
"If you know recklessness, you must remedy it." Princess Yuan said, "I have heard of the woman you are asking for. She really can't afford to be the princess of the Yuan Palace, the future princess. It's not just me who thinks so, and your father won't agree with it. ”
Xie Jingxiu didn't speak, and Princess Yuan continued: "Jingxiu, I have communicated with your aunt that I will take your cousin to live in the mansion in the next two days. When the time comes, you will pick it up yourself, so that no one will be neglected. ”
Xie Jingxiu raised his head: "Miss Jian Liu's inheritance of the Jian Family Medical Pavilion must be entangled in affairs, and she may not be willing to live in the palace." ”
Princess Yuan frowned slightly: "What Miss Jian Liu, she is your cousin." After a pause, he said, "Jing Xiu, don't forget, your uncle died to save you." It is your duty to take care of Jane's family. ”
Xie Jingxiu stopped talking. Princess Yuan consciously understood this son, and he acquiesced in the matter without opening his mouth to refute it, so he waved his hand and said, "As for your marriage, you go and ask your father." Jing Xiu, you are also older, you are the future Yuan King, and you can't be capricious in everything. ”
Xie Jingxiu got up and saluted to say goodbye, left Yiran's small residence, and went straight to Xie Yun's study.
The housekeeper beside Xie Yun saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the son." ”
Xie Jingxiu nodded and continued to walk towards the study. The butler stepped forward to stop him, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Wait a minute, the prince, now...... Not very convenient. ”
Xie Jingxiu stopped, didn't ask why, just stood quietly outside and waited.
After a short time, a beautiful woman walked out of the study with two maids, and the butler hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the princess of the side." ”
She is Xie Yun's side concubine Ding, Xie Jinglin's mother.
When Ding saw Xie Jingxiu outside, he walked over generously and said with a smile: "Look who's coming?" The eldest young master is proud of seeking a beautiful wife today, but it startles those of us who are elders. As he spoke, he pointed to the study and whispered: "The prince is angry now, I wanted to persuade just now, but I was angrily accused by the prince." The eldest young master should be careful, don't make the prince angry again. ”
Xie Jingxiu said: "Thank you Princess Fang for reminding me." ”
Ding smiled: "Go, go, don't let your father wait for a long time." ”
Xie Jingxiu walked over, Ding looked at his back and carved it, the smile on his lips did not decrease, and he also left with the maid.
As soon as Xie Jingxiu walked into the study, Xie Yun said without raising his head: "You have found a way to solve the ridiculous thing you asked for yourself." ”
Xie Jingxiu paused and stood in the middle of the study.
"My son married Dr. Feng, and the matter was naturally resolved."
"Ridiculous!" Xie Yun said angrily, "I will never agree!" ”
Xie Jingxiu lowered his eyelashes: "The emperor has made a will to give marriage, which cannot be changed." ”
"Good, good, hello." Xie Yun pointed at this son and sneered repeatedly, "So you were waiting here, do you think you can do whatever you want after asking for a holy decree?" This king is fighting for this signboard of the king side by side, and he will never agree with you to marry such a princess! Our Yuanwangfu can't afford to lose this face! ”
"If I don't do this prince of Yuanwangfu, Doctor Feng will not let Yuanwangfu lose face." Xie Jingxiu looked up at Xie Yun.
Xie Yun looked at him in astonishment: "You...... What did you say?! ”
"I don't want to be the son of this world, and my wife is naturally not the princess of the Yuan Palace." Xie Jingxiu's eyelashes drooped slightly, "It is much easier for my father to go to the emperor to ask for a decree to change the title of the prince than to ask him to take back the emperor's order." ”
"You! You're going to be the other way around! Xie Yun's face turned blue with anger, and he casually picked up an inkstone and smashed it. The inkstone shattered at Xie Jingxiu's feet, and he didn't even blink his eyes, just looked at Xie Yun with a calm face.
"Don't think I dare!" Xie Yun covered his heart and said angrily, "You want to abandon the position of the son of the world for a wild girl from the countryside, and this king is not only your son!" ”
"My father knows that I never engage in pointless verbal disputes with others." Xie Jing cultivated.
"You, you!" Xie Yun glared at the eldest son, so angry that he couldn't speak. Of course, he knew that his son had matured like a child since he was sensible, and that he would only silently achieve his goals, but would never say a single word of useless words.
This is also why he especially likes the eldest son, even if he favors the Ding family and the second son of the Ding family, he has never thought of shaking the position of the eldest son.
He is a carefree prince, impatient with mundane affairs, and with such a worry-free eldest son, the Yuan Wangfu can be safely handed over to him. He thought that this son would never make any mistakes, but he didn't expect that he would give him such a big problem the first time he was "willful......
Everyone in the Yuan Wang's Mansion knew that Yuan Wang Ye and the prince were locked in the study that afternoon, and they quarreled very much. Although the prince had no different color when he left, just looking at the face of Yuan Wang Ye Tieqing, he knew that there was a big contradiction between the father and son.
There are a few happy and a few worried about this, and some people are concerned.
Mama Qin told Princess Yuan about the outside things one by one, and Princess Yuan said while embroidering the unfinished embroidery in her hand: "The prince will not let the prince be willful, Mama doesn't need to inquire in the future, you go to Jane's house to talk to Mrs. Jane, so that she doesn't have to worry." ”
Mama Qin hurriedly bowed her head in response.
When it was getting late, Xiao Yuzheng and Bai Ling closed the door together, and there were a few knocks outside the door coldly.
Bai Ling was startled and asked aloud, "Who?" ”
There was no sound outside.
Xiao Yu sighed, took off the bolt and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Xie Shizi standing outside the door, looking at him silently.
Xie Jingxiu was wearing a white coat, and behind him was the night that was gradually getting thicker, and the fire in the hall behind him was only a dim shimmer when it reached the edge of the courtyard gate. Against the backdrop of the two, Xiao Yu only felt that Xie Jingxiu's complexion seemed to be a little whiter than usual, but his light-colored pupils turned dark black, looking at him like that, it seemed even deeper.
"The prince is here, why are you here?" Xiao Yu said angrily. He was still angry that he had taken matters into his own hands, and had asked for some marriage decree, and even made it known to everyone, and during the day there were more passers-by in front of the courtyard gate than usual. Xiao Yu knew that it was not an illusion, and he was watched again.
Xie Jingxiu moved his lips, but his voice didn't seem to be as cold and hard as usual, with a hint of imperceptible softness.
"Do you even blame me?" Xie Jingxiu looked at him with a pair of dark black eyes, "Doctor Feng, even you...... Are you angry with me? ”
