Chapter 348: The Dust Settles
The next day, the ladies of King Pu and King Yue all entered the palace to visit Queen Du and His Royal Highness the Prince. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ When they met in front of Penglai Palace, Princess Yue Wang, who was carrying her daughter Xin'an County Lord, stepped forward affectionately and took the initiative to hold Yan: "I have been busy all this time, and I can't find time to invite you to sit in the house." When the matter is settled, you must ask your family Boyue or Xuanqi to be a matchmaker. β
Yan was not surprised at all, since the Wang family returned to Beijing, they began to be busy with marrying their daughter, lest they completely delay their daughter's flowering letter. Fortunately, she and Empress Du had previously selected many unmarried men in Beijing to use her as a reference, so that she would not be busy with the county lord of Xuancheng and her daughter-in-law. Now, after a few months, we are finally optimistic?
Sensing the gazes of the Zhou family and the Du family next to him, the county lord of Xin'an had slightly red cheeks, and he avoided the county lord of Xuancheng and the eldest sister-in-law Gao a little uncomfortably. Since the Yue Wang couple returned to Beijing, she moved out of the princess's mansion and returned to the Yue Wang's mansion, and her contacts with them were naturally not as frequent as before. Therefore, although she has a frank temperament, there is not even the slightest rumor about her relatives.
Although the Yan family and the others were curious about what kind of son-in-law the Wang family had chosen for their daughter, after all, they were in front of the Penglai Palace, so they didn't want to ask in detail. So, the two friends looked at each other and smiled, and went in together affectionately.
Queen Du heard the report from Shanggong that they were coming, and personally greeted them and laughed with them. As the Yan family and the Wang family talked, they naturally mentioned the marriage of the county lord of Xin'an. At this time, it happened that the saint also moved over, and everyone got up to salute, and Queen Du couldn't help laughing: "The saint came just in time, and the second sister-in-law just wanted me to marry Huanniang." Why don't you have a saint issue an edict to send our niece down to her son-in-law? β
The sage then smiled and asked, "I don't know which good son the second brother and sister-in-law have taken a fancy to?" β
The county lord of Xin'an lowered his head shyly, and Princess Yue looked at her lovingly, and sighed with a smile: "It's also fate." Previously, Her Royal Highness the Queen and Ah Yan helped the concubines to visit many fiancΓ©s, and the concubines looked at each other carefully. At this time, I heard that one of the overseers of the imperial history and the Wang Sheren was a jinshi in the same year, and he was young and promising and had not yet married, so he specially asked Ah Lang to take a look. After Ah Lang came back, he was full of praise, and we asked Huanniang again - it turned out that they had a few previous encounters. Moreover, it was he who brought Huanniang back from Zhaoling in the first place. β
The sage thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Cheng Jiusi? β
This one was also the first Jinshi of the year, but it was a pity that the prince was born at that time, and almost all his demeanor was taken away, and he was forgotten by the group of wolf-like and tiger-like son-in-law catchers in Beijing. Later, he got closer to the Yang family, which made many people who took a fancy to him as a son-in-law quite hesitant. It wasn't until he made several meritorious contributions that he was sent to Shengzhou to deliver the decree this year, and he completed the task without fear, and he once again became the object of everyone's attention. It was also because of this merit that two days ago, the sage deliberately promoted him to the left of the province of Menxia - just to fill the vacancy of Wang Zixian's previous position.
"It's a good marriage." The saint shook his head and laughed. If it weren't for Cheng Jiusi's Han origin, and he was alone, it might not be impossible to be a monk. It is also appropriate for him to be his niece-in-law.
At the same moment, Li Hui, Li Jing and Princess Changning were sitting in the viewing pavilion not far from Penglai Palace, carefully looking at Yu Chi Erlang opposite. The young man with the ape-armed bee-waisted body was covered in a cold sweat when the three of them saw it, and he only felt the cold air rising from his back, and he couldn't help but hesitate to ask, "What advice do you have for your lord and the two kings?" β
"Do you have a favorite little lady?" King Xin'an smiled with a smile on his face, "If there is a fancy to it, I can't say that we can be a matchmaker." β
"I didn't ...... Not at the moment. Yu Chi Erlang scratched his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could relax, the king of Tianshui next to him snorted coldly, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes squinting at him, and his eyes were full of pickiness and contempt: "Really? You've figured it out. β
"Nope." Yu Chi Erlang looked at them with some confusion. Although they have some contacts, they are far from the point where these three golden branches and jade leaves are worried about his marriage? If it is the prince of the Zhongshu Sheren, it is a lifelong friendship with them. On the other hand, the king of Xin'an County and the princess of Changning, although they have the grace of knowing and meeting the Duke of Eguo, they are not close.
"That's very good." Princess Changning said categorically, "Then it's up to you to be the concubine." β
"......" Poor Wei Chi Erlang was stunned for a while, dumbfounded, and speechless.
Li Jing did not hide his disgust: "Yue Niang, why don't you change to a suitable one?" Look at him so stupid, I'm afraid I don't know why you fell to him. The entire Eguo Mansion, it is impossible to say that only the Duke of Eguo will understand the deep meaning of your descent, and he may not accept it. "For the Eguo Mansion, Princess Shang is of course beneficial, meaning the grace of the saint and decades of peace. But the public nature of the country is obscure, and he feels sorry for Wei Chi Erlang, so he may not agree - because this marriage is destined to be just a pretend, and he may part ways at some point.
"It must be the Duke of Eguo, there is no more suitable ...... in Beijing" Princess Changning thought of something, and sighed, "The eldest son of General Ashina Zhensi is married, and the second son is only thirteen years old, I really ......" I really can't bear to bully a young man. As for Wei Chi Erlang and the Eguo Mansion, of course she will give them the best compensation.
Li Hui looked at Yu Chi Erlang, found a clear brilliance in his clear gaze, and shook his head with a smile: "Jing Xing, Yue Niang, you are too rude." Erlang, you should understand what Yue Niang means? As long as you are willing to agree to Princess Shang, we will definitely compensate you a hundred times and a thousand times in the future. β
Yu Chi Erlang laughed heartily: "Your lord and the king have the grace of knowing our Yu Chi family, so what's the harm if you really let someone make a personal promise?" What's more, now it's just a stopgap measure? At most, it will only be two or three years, and the divorce will not delay a wife and have children. β
Hearing this, Li Hui hooked the corners of his lips, Princess Changning did not hide her appreciation, and Li Jing also put away Fang Cai's contempt: "I'm sorry, my reaction is a little excessive...... Alas, Huanniang is getting married, and Yueniang is also going to remarry, I really don't feel good in my heart. "If it weren't for Cheng Wei being the minister of the Imperial Front now, he really wanted to drag him out so that he could be intimidated. Who told him that he hadn't been able to find an opportunity to meet this future sister-in-law in the secret room of the Xin'an County Palace?
Li Hui couldn't bear to frighten him, but Princess Changning glanced over with a smile because of her bad mood: "Sister Huanniang's marriage has been decided, who should be next?" β
Li Jing was excited, and immediately took the case: "I hurriedly told my uncle that it was too late to go to Shengzhou as soon as possible?" β
"It's too late." Princess Changning replied cruelly and ruthlessly, and Li Hui looked at her with sympathy.
Li Jing hung his head in frustration, and Wei Chi Erlang, who witnessed this scene, suddenly felt that the temperament of these three golden branches and jade leaves was also very easy to get along with, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Why should the county king worry? With the current status of the county king, Her Royal Highness Princess Yue must have to weigh a lot if she wants to make a marriage. Without a year and a half, it is certainly impossible to make a choice. By that time, the king of the county had already left Chang'an to take up his post. β
Hearing his words, Li Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted him on the shoulder with emotion: "Yu Chi Erlang, I really misunderstood you before." So you are such a reasonable person! If you can meet a friend like you, you should be a big white!! After that, the two actually hooked up and went to drink.
Li Hui couldn't help but shake his head, looked at Princess Changning again, and said softly: "Yue Niang, there are some things that must be said clearly, so as not to misunderstand him." β
Princess Changning lowered her eyes: "Brother, don't worry, I can save it." β
*************************
Not long after, the emperor and queen learned that their daughter had already proposed marriage to Yu Chi Erlang, and the Duke of E also agreed, and they couldn't help but feel complicated. After a while, the sage, who was in a slightly calmed mood, ordered Wang Sheren to draw up two edicts: the former lowered Princess Changning to Chi Erlang, the governor of the Duke of Eguo, and named her the commander of the horse, and promoted the official to the general of Qianniuwei from the third grade; The latter lowered the county lord of Xin'an to Cheng Wei, the left supplement of the province of Menxia, and gave him the doctor of the Wensan official Zhongsan of the fifth grade.
When these two wills spread all over Chang'an City, and countless people envied the good luck of Wei Chi Erlang and Cheng Wei, Wang Zimu received a beautiful post. He did not hesitate, immediately left the house, and rode his horse to the palace of Xin'an County. Then, in the secret room of the palace of Xin'an County, he met the person he had been thinking about for a long time.
The two sat opposite each other for a long time, quietly staring at each other, not saying a word, but everything seemed to be silent.
After some time, Wang Zimu said gently: "I understand. β
"If you can't wait, you don't have to ......wait," said the person on the other side.
Wang Zimu interrupted her and said firmly: "Of course you can wait." No matter how long it takes, I can wait. "He'd missed her once, and he couldn't miss her a second time. Even Brother and King Xin'an can know each other, why can't they persevere? Ten years, eight years, there will always be a time when the clouds will open and see the moon. And at that time, he was definitely not the person he is now who was just a white body, nor was he an incompetent person who could only watch her leave him again and again in order to protect herself and protect her family.
"When I wear scarlet and purple, I will marry you, Yue Niang."
Princess Changning's eyes were slightly red, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
In the passage outside the secret room, Wang Zixian and Li Hui turned around and looked at Li Jing, who was silently facing Cheng Wei, and Du Chongfeng, who was helpless. Sister Wang Luoniang covered her lips and smiled, with a sweet smile in her eyes, although Du Shi had a calmer temperament, she couldn't help but bend her lips.
Farther away, Qin Chengzheng was talking to An Erniang in a low voice, and An Erniang, who was covered in plain clothes, was also much more depressed. Zhou Yi and Yan Balang looked at them with rather unpleasant taste-so far, neither of them has ever been married, and they haven't even been able to find their favorite little lady, and Qin Cheng is younger than them, so he will be married after An Erniang is filial!! This kind of thing is really mysterious, and people can't help but envy, jealousy and hatred.
He Cheng took his junior brother Yan Shishilang, under the leadership of Yang Shen, to explore the labyrinth-like secret passage, and he was very happy. Megumi didn't seem to care, but he actually followed behind them and looked left and right curiously. Seeing that he had an awkward temperament, Fan Wu couldn't help but tease him a few words, and then laughed.
And Li Xin and Li Wei seemed to dislike their group of people for being too noisy, and went to the secret room on the other side. After a while, you can faintly smell the fragrance of tea inside. Li Hui and Wang Zixian glanced at each other as if they had a heart, and hooked the corners of their lips to taste the tea fried by His Royal Highness King Sipu himself.
With them, no matter how many hardships and dangers lie ahead, what's the matter? When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you can always see the willows and flowers; When the cold wind is raging, you can always hear laughter.
