5. Marriage

In the thirteenth year of Manulife, Youwang Yu Zibo died of illness, his son Yu Junqian inherited the title, and his second son Yu Junyan was canonized as King You'an. King You is the eldest brother of the first emperor, after his death should be buried in the imperial mausoleum, Yu Junqian and Yu Junyan escorted the body of King You back to the imperial capital, after King You was buried, the emperor wiped his tears in front of the courtiers, and earned the appreciation of the courtiers. Yu Junyan sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent, only heard the emperor call Jun Yan, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The minister is here." ”

The young emperor looked at the handsome and cold face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "I have long heard that the second son of the emperor is handsome and extraordinary, with the posture of heaven and man, but he has never had the opportunity to meet. ”

Yu Junyan hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The minister is afraid! His majesty is heroic, and no one can compare with him. ”

"Hehe, brother emperor, shouldn't you look in the mirror?" The emperor smiled and nodded slightly, it can be seen that he was very satisfied with Yu Junyan's answer, played with the jade lion in his hand, and continued to ask, "The emperor's brother is twenty this year, right?" ”

Yu Junyan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is twenty and one this year." ”

"Can you get married?"

"Not married."

"Oh? But your vision is too high, and no one can get into your eyes? The emperor smiled and said, "When the man is married, the woman should be married, why don't I make the decision for you and set a family affair for you?" ”

Yu Junyan said: "My father has just passed away, I'm afraid I'm ......"

"Huh~~It's okay." The emperor said, "The marriage is decided here today, and the emperor's uncle will know about it, and he will also mention that you will be happy." ”

Yu Junyan felt that it was really inappropriate to talk about marriage now, but when the emperor said so, there was no room for himself to refuse, so he had to say: "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”

"Good!" The emperor smiled, "The emperor's brother has a sweetheart. ”

Yu Junyan rolled his eyes and said: "The minister has admired Chen Lian, the daughter of the military department's Shangshu, for a long time, and he has forgotten His Majesty. ”

The emperor's hand playing with the jade lion stiffened slightly, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, and he said slowly: "The daughter of the Chen family is eighteen years old, and she is also born with a water spirit, and you are talented and beautiful, but it's a pity that ......."

Hearing this, Yu Junyan's heart tightened, knowing that his plan was about to fail.

I only heard the emperor say unhurriedly: "It's a pity that Uncle Huang has already set a marriage contract for you back then." ”

"What? My father made a marriage contract for me? Yu Junyan was puzzled, "When?" ”

The emperor said: "Uncle Huang once made a marriage contract with Su Xin from the Tai Hospital, and the two families became in-laws, and your brother Yu Junqian was also present at that time. Now that your brother has established a concubine, this marriage contract will fall on you by itself, Jun Qian, don't you say? ”

Yu Junyan looked at Yu Junqian suspiciously, only to see a few expressions on his face, and finally said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, but the daughter of the Su family accidentally fell into the water and ......died when she was young."

"The Su family has no daughters, but since the marriage contract has been decided, it should not be reversed, otherwise it will not be good for future generations to say that our royal family has no faith." The emperor interrupted Yu Junqian's words and said, "Besides, doesn't Su Xin have a son?" At that time, Emperor Sheng's queen was a man, and it was okay to appoint a man as the princess of the county. ”

Yu Junqian was shocked: "But he ......"

The emperor interrupted Yu Junqian's words again and asked Chen Shandao, the chief eunuch beside him, "Chen Shan, what is the name of the son sentenced by the Su Yuan?" ”

Chen Shan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the son of the Su family is named Yuheng, he is also eighteen years old this year, he has a pure temperament, and his appearance is also this ......" Chen Shan said and gave a thumbs up.

"Pure temperament...... Yes, good! The emperor nodded and said, "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, only a person with a pure temperament is worthy of our Emperor Yan's brother!" ”

Yu Junyan looked coldly at the emperor and Chen Shanyi singing and harmonizing, thinking that this marriage seemed to be decided by the emperor a long time ago, but now he was just making a show for himself, and secretly glanced at Yu Junqian, his face was ugly, but he still nodded slightly, signaling him to accept this family business.

Yu Junyan was helpless, he knew that he had no choice but to accept it now, so he had to say: "The minister is up to His Majesty." ”

Out of the palace, Yu Junyan asked Yu Junqian: "Big brother, when did my father make a marriage contract with the Su family?" Also, who is that Su Yuheng? ”

Yu Junqian sighed and said: "Su Yuyan, the eldest daughter of Su Xin, who was sentenced by the Tai Hospital, has been smart and well-behaved since she was a child, and she has the demeanor of a lady. It's a pity that it ...... later"

Yu Junyan asked, "What happened later?" ”

Yu Junqian said: "Later, Miss Su accidentally fell into the pond while playing in the yard and drowned, when she was just ten years old. ”

"Big brother believes?" Yu Junyan sneered, "Since Miss Su is everyone's lady, she naturally won't run around like a wild girl, not to mention that there are so many maids and daughters-in-law in the house, how can she let her play on the edge of the pond?" In my opinion, Miss Su's drowning is fake, and being killed by an adulterer is true. ”

Yu Junqian sighed and said: "I naturally know that many people in the court know that it is said that it was because of the turmoil in the harem that they got into trouble. ”

Yu Junyan asked, "What about Su Yuheng?" ”

"He is the younger brother born to Su Yuyan's mother." Yu Junqian replied, "Ben is also smart and clever, but Su Yuyan died less than half a year, he had a serious illness, and he had a high fever for several days, and finally he came back, but his brain was burned stupidly." ”

"What? Idiot! At this point, Yu Junyan finally understood what the emperor meant by his pure temperament, how could a fool not be pure. Immediately said, "That dog emperor actually asked me to marry a fool?!" ”

"Shh~~" Yu Junqian hurriedly covered Yu Junyan's mouth and reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, there are emperor's eyeliner all over here, if someone hears about it, it will lead to a big disaster." ”

"Humph!" Yu Junyan angrily punched the trunk of the tree beside him, hitting the leaves one after another, "The emperor is obviously on guard against me!" He has now cut our power and trapped us in a fiefdom, and sooner or later, we will also be secretly killed by him like Uncle Gong and Uncle Xu! ”

"Alas~~ You're right." Yu Junqian said in a deep voice, "Looking at the emperor's appearance, he really can't tolerate us, we will have a hard time in the future, and you must be more careful everywhere after you return to the fiefdom." As for Su Yuheng, you just take it, and it is better to let a fool be the princess than the emperor to send his cronies to you, just like ...... Mrs. Han. ”

Yu Junyan nodded clearly: "The emperor gave Mrs. Han to his father, saying that it was a gift of beauty, but it was actually a fine work placed in our palace." This time she is back to the fiefdom with you, you must beware of that woman. ”

"I understand." Yu Junqian patted Yu Junyan on the shoulder and said: "Yan'er, now that you have been crowned king and have obtained a fief, you are an adult, you have to think twice about everything when you get there, there are only two of us left in the family, protect yourself, don't let the eldest brother worry about you." ”

Yu Junyan hugged his fists and said: "Follow the teachings of the eldest brother!" ”
